A LIFT FOR TODAY
if If ye then be risen with Christ, seek tho6e
things which are above. —Col. 3:1.
EVERY CHRISTIAN finds a different way of
.living and seeks first the urjierishables Love,
■Kindness, Gratitude and Unselfishness believ
ing that all needful things will be added unto
m'm
wieanse our hearts of all that is earthly. O
Lord, and clothe us with the new nature of Thy
children that we may face life—and death—in-,
tnurance of Thy love and Salvation through
our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Worth Considering
Attention is called to the polio shot clinic
which is sponsored by the Edenton Junior Cham
ber of Commerce in cooperation with Edenton
doctors. The clinic will be held at the Penelope
Barker house Friday night, August 26,. from 7
to 9 o'clock.
This clinic should not be taken lightly for
polio, like all other diseases, is no inspector of
persons. Last year 575 polio shots wdre ad
ministered at the clinic, but there are far more
than 575 people in Chowan County who could <
he victims of polio, so that all possible precau
tion should be taken. These polio shots are
one of the best precautions’in the fight against,
polio and more people should take advantage
of this opportunity to be treated.
j»As an incentive for more people to take these
yjjnots, they are offered free to everybody under
T|B years of age and expectant mothers. For
others the charge will be only SI.OO.
Who can say whether of* not they will be j
Stricken with polio? It is worth taking the 1
time to take these shots which might prevent
a long seige’ of illness and probably becoming a
cripple for life.
Good Friend Gone
Edenon has lost a good friend a valuable cit»-
sen in the death of William I). Fuller, who died
as the result of a heart attack Wednesday night
at the home of Mrs. J. L. Pettus.
Mr. Fuller, like manv present Edentonians,
adopted Edenton as his home about., two years
ago. He was a ' frW banker and fihfinPfer'of'
Philadelphia. Pa., and fell in love with Edenton
•and its people. A friend of the editor, he often
spoke about the friendliness and hospitality of
Edenton people and, therefore, was happy in
his retirement. He was vitally interested in
the progress and welfare of Edenton and, but
for his health, was anxious and willing to par
ticipate more actively in those things which go
to make Edenton a better place to live. He
tpade many friends during his brief residence
w Edenton who will be very sorry to hear of
Bis passing.

That people, other than Edentonians, are in
terested in what goes on in Edenton is reject
ed in a letter received this week from Virginia
Washburn of Hopewell, Va. The letter, ad
dressed to the editor, follows:
“I have been keeping up with what is going
on in Edenton (through your paper) for several
years now—and I was much distressed When I
read the first article on the proposed sale of
Joseph Hewes Hotel.
“It is such a pity that this could not have
been continued as a historic monument in the
town. In the same issue as your editorial (Au
gust 4) was an article describing the filming of
historic and modern Edenton. Doesn’t if seem
a little ironic that at just this time, the hotel
should be sold for a- different- u-" 1 ’
“I agree with Mr. Ehringhaus that ‘for every
birth mere is a death’ . . . but that is merely
another so-called sign of progress in our na
tion. You who live in and love Edenton are
most fortunate that your townspeople are aware
of the historical value ot the town and that they
are trying to preserve as much of it as possible.
Here-, where I live —in old City Point, one of
she first settlements in Virginia—rich in hstory.
AiUch of hstorical value has been destroyed.
- Very near my home is a fort Constructed during
the Civil War by Federal troops to protect
Grant’s headquarters which were almost in my.
backyard—yet our town fathers say: ‘Let’s
bulldoze it down tor a ball park for our chil
dren ... it is only a Yankee fort!’ When h>s
-torical pilgrimages are made in and near the
bid City Point—nothing is left-for people to
see—or if it is here—no one knows much about
it or where it is.
• “Yes, your town is rich in your heritage and
.you should be proud of it and I hope the next
time I visit Edenton that nothing will, be much
changed. Next to my own town, I love Williams
burg and Edenton. Arid I am very interested in
the growth and development of both. I hope to
see your town prosper but I hope it will not
turn into an industrial city. Keep the town
fresh and clean—lt’s a jewel to be tret.—*\ed.
“I enjoy your editorials and 1 hope you don’t
mind, but I often quote you on mv radio show
Homemaker’s Holiday, over WSSV, Petersburg.
Va.”
Lieut. Col. Ted Boutwell will leave Monday
for a-16-months tour m Okinawa. The Marines
do not allow families to accompany them, and
Ted surely cannot come home over the week
end, so it’ll- be a long time before the family
can be’ together again. Here’s wishing him a
bon voyage.
One of the happiest mep in Edenton recently
was John Owens, who became 65 years old and
retired from his duties at the cotton mill. Mr.
Owens received a letter and present from a son.
Tommy Owens, who lives. at Belvedere. South
Carolina. The letter was a splendid tribute to
a father who has worked hard with his goal
nothing special in life—but to have an earnest
desire to live, let live, to observe the Golden
Buie and treat his fellowman right. Due to un
fortunate circumstances, he never received a
formal education, therefore his livelihood did not
come easy, but with so little he did so much.
He has reared a wonderful family, which is
most proud of him and grateful for the fine
things he has done for them through the years.
Son Tommy also had this to say: “You are
as young as your faith, as old as your doubts;
as young as your self-confidence, as old as your
fears: as young as vour hope, as old as your de
spair. In the central place of your heart there
is a recording chamber; so long as it receives
messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so
long;, you are young. When, the wires,- are all
down, and your heart is covered with snow
of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then —-and
then onlv —are you grown old.” And that’s a
good philosophy for anvbodv.
o
Carev Bunch has moved from the house at the
old fish hatchery to a new house at the National
Fish Hatchery. Carey likes his new quarters
very much except for one thing. He has lived
for 61,105 or 9 per cent of the 1958 burglaries.
The remaining 91 per cent of these crimes
were committed in towns below 2,500 population
and in rural areas.
When you go on vacation, discontinue deliv
eries of newspapers, milk and mail in advance
of leaving, and ask your neighbors to report to
the police any suspicious persons that they see
about your home.
There is no better “give away” that you are
away than an accumulation of newspapers or
milk bottles on your porch.

one thing is different in his new

is on his left side. He’s right

pea in the office Wednesday
morning. Jimmy paid his sub
scription ' to The Herald and
Emmett gave m e a piece of
marble which he salvaged from
a vessel sunk at False Cap.-,
Va., in 189-*. About 125 tons
of marble had been salvaged
until > a storm grounded Em
mett’s boat. Big Wig Anyway.
Jimmy looked at my desk and
said. “That piece of marble wilt
be just another item you car
put on vour desk. Maybe you’ll
be able to find it to show some
body." The mean thing!

Not Only are the Edenton
Aces going through practice ses
sions to develop a good football
team, but the band, cheerlead
ers and majorettes are also
practicing to hold up their end
of the sport. At the practice
session Tuesday night the soft
ball park looked like a lake
and it would have- been more
comfortable for: thdeboys to take'
a swim than to go through the
sweat-producing drilling. 1 The
other group practiced on the
football field and indications are
that the cheering squad, band
and majorettes will be on a
par with the Aces. IncidentaJK

in line and be sure of a seat,
why not prevent it now bv buy

pounds by tne North Carolina

considerably above average, j
Stands are mostly good and vine
