TuFFpoSTfoDAT if Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. —Matthew 5:41. OUR SAVIOUR INVITED us weary and heavy laden, to come to him for rest, he was not then thinking of the easy burden of a light load, but of a burden made easy through new-found strength trom him. Merciful Father, grant us Thy grace that our lives mav be expended by Thee and for others. Important To Parents An important meeting is scheduled to be held at the Scout Cabin Monday night, October /0, at 7:30 o’clock. At that time the annual Scout roundup meeting will be held, upon which a great deal will depend the program oi Scorn ing in Edenton. Especially important it is that parents of Boy Scout age attend this meeting, for while some 'boys easily acclimate themselves to the Scout ing program, there are others who need the en couragement and prodding on the part of par ents in order to become vitally interested in this great youth organization. Scouting in Edenton has had its ups and downs. • At times the interest and activity of the boys has been at a high pitch and then at other time? interest has lagged so that few boys had mucb of a desire to carry on. Scoutmasters contribute of their time and ef forts to develop an active and worthwhile Boy Scout troop, but all of the time and effort goes for practically naught if not enough boys are members and become interested in Scout activi ties. Hoys between the ages of 11 and 14 are eligi ble to become Scouts and this is the age when Scout training can become ar. important factor in the future life of a boy. His inclinations can be directed to worthwhile activities and prin ciples which will stand him in good stead in later years as he grows into manhood. Many of the lessons learned by Scouting never leave a boy and to be sure they have the effect pre venting a boy from going astray. With this in mind, parents of boys of Scout age are especially urged to attend Monday night’s meeting in order to get Scouting off tc a good start. Jasper Hassell is present Scout master and no little encouragement is engender ed in Scouting with the announcement that Jack Habit, one of Edenton’s most active and success ful Scoutmasters, will act as assistant Scout master. The Edenton Boy Scout troop has been spon sored by the Edenton Rotary Club for 25 years and Rotarians. too, are hopeful that all boys of *Boy Scout age, as well as their parents, will at tend the roundup meeting Monday night. Fire Prevention Week Though eflorts should be directed to the pre vention of fire every day in the year, the week of October 9-15 has been proclaimed as Fire Prevention Week throughout the nation. In Edenton the week will be celebrated by a parade which will be held Monday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock. In the parade will be the John A. Holmes High School and. Edenton’s fire fight ing equipment and the equipment used by Cho wan County’s forest ranger. . Because of carelessness or ignorance of fire safety facts of life, one American home is burn ed or damaged by fire every two minutes. Known facts for 1959 record 11,300 deaths from fire and a total of 906,000 fires in the United States. With these facts in mind, we should not only cooperate with Fire Prevention Week, but we should observe every week as Fire Prevention Week. Socking The Motorist Just about every motorist, at one time or an other, kicks about the “high price of gasoline”. What he should be kicking about is the "high price of gasoline taxes”. Today—with the allegedly “temporary” fourth cent that was added to the federal gas tax last October —the combined national average of fed eral and state taxes is more than 10 cents a gallon.. ’ ; This means that the taxes now average, on a !nationwide basis, 48 per cent of the retail price ,of regular grade gas, 62 per cent of the whole 'saSe price, and 85 per cent of the refinery price. fT-axes actually amount to more than half of the price of the fuel in 20 states, and in some i 'areas equal the the refinery price. Such luxur ies as fur coats and jewelry carry far smaller | excise taxes and no other necessity is compara bly treated. Moreover, here is a tax which is demonstrat- j iiig the validity of the law of diminishing re- ; tarns. The swing toward smaller, more eco nomical automobiles, foreign and domestic, is * largely due to their thrifty fuel consumption. These cars account for more and more of our J total automobile population. So gas revenues will decline because fewer gallons will be burn-1 ed. Then, no doubt, it will be urged that taxes be further increased to make up the loss—and so the spiral can go on, ad infinitum. The solution would seem to be a wave of pro test by motorists —a category which includes most of the'.'voters. One of the ways you can support your church is by supporting your minister, and his program. ‘.‘Those who can’t control their tongues operate at a disadvantage in society; they can’t compete I glih the quiet schemers. ' - ■'*' -wwv,-:-. --»• • • I // /'' \ en By Buff Town Council and the Board of Public Works held a joint meeting Friday afternoon, the pur pose being to act on the resignation of Ernest J. Ward, Jr., as Town Clerk. It was a severe shock to members of both boards and had anybody dropped in on the meeting they might Itave thought a funeral service was in progress—so solemn, was the proceedings. Anyway, Mr. Ward’s resignation was accepted with profound regret after it was definitely determined that he would not reconsider his intention to resign. He has accepted the position as director of finance for the City of Rocky Mount, a position paying s salary substantially above what he is paid in Edenton and at the same time puts-him in bet ter position for even higher promotions. T;ie town in general regrets Mr. Ward’s leaving for he will leave a void which will be hard to fill, not only in the capacity of Town Clerk, but in many other activities in town in which he has taken a prominent and active part. It goes with out saying that his legion of friends in Eden ton wish for him a great deal of success in his new position. o Edenton’s Aces are scheduled to play their ancient and arch rivals, the Elizabeth City Yel low Jackets, Friday night. The Aces, on paper, are favored to win, but that’s been the case many times before and they came home on the short end of the score. The Aces have won all five of their games by impressive scores, while the Yellow Jackets have won only one out of four games played. The Yellow Jackets will, as they have done many times before, play an inspired game against the Aces, so the two records might not amount to much. At any rate, Coach Billings and the Aces as a whole are not expecting an easy battle, and are preparing for a real scrap. The game will be played in Eliz abeth City and if the weather man does not throw a monkey wrench in the works, the chanc es are that, except for the police and firemen, practically the whole works will be in Elizabeth City Friday night. And if the Yellow Jackets upset the Aces, it will be a gloomy crowd head ing back to Edenton after the game. Here’s hoping the Aces will be able to once more take the sting out of the Yellow Jackets. The Eden ton Band will join the crack Elizabeth City Band, so that an evening of exciting entertain ment is in store for those who follow the Aces Friday night. o With football taking the limelight in the way of sports, below is a “poem” written by—well, he must be a State College fan: Hark! The herald angels sing The State College Walfpack is just the thing, Peace on earth, and mercy mild, Football’s a man’s game; Carolina is only a child. Joyful all ye State fans uncaged, Join the triumph of the age. With victorious hosts proclaim The Tar Heels will never again be the same, r Four games of five won, Those State taeklers hit like a ton, It all started with “Big Jim,” Now his assistant looks like “Little Tim” As the fiqal score leaves Chapel Hill on a limb. With three to zero, Little Jim tried to be brave As pore Old Big Jim turned over in his grave. And the Carolina fans looked for a cave As the State fans yelled, “Beat the Knave.” Big Gabe’s throws were all true As the Tar Heels’ faces turned blue. The field was flat—so was Carolina’s score. As the State fans yelled: “Have mercy, Wolfpack, score no more” State—the cow college of yore Made Carolina look like a bore. With three to nothing the final score As Carolina tried to come un from the floor. What could be finer than to be at Carolina at the Old Well Nothing except at State near the Bell. The victory bell which shouts There just ain’t no Justice any more, The Carolina team didn’t even score. The State guards were husky And made the Tar Heels look rusty, Maybe Carolina should hire Marilyn Monroe—at least she’s busty. And hire B. B.—just as a trusty. Little Jim says, “just one more year— I’ll have State by the ear. By then my boys will have some traction I’ll give them salts to get some action.” o Mr. and Mrs. Carlton Haskett, who live in Rocnester. Indiana, are in Edenton visiting rela tives and friends. Both have been readers of The Herald for many years. Mr. Haskett, of course, is a native of Edenton. but Mrs. Haskett is not, so she told her husband that while she was in Edenton she wanted to see the guy who writes this column. Well, they dropped in the office Tuesday and Mrs. Haskett saw me. I’m glad for one reason that they came in, for Mr. Haskett paid three years’ subscription to The Herald. Then I sort of regret the visit for another rea son. for Mrs. Haskett having seen me, now I’m afraid she’ll cancel the subscription. o Just a reminder for Rotarians (and here’s one who’s liable to forget) that the meeting today will be held at the Parish House at 1 o’clock. The Rotarians were shoved out of the Parish House while additions a.nd changes were made, so today it will be like going back home, al though the Rotarians were very well pleased i while they met at the Edenton Restaurant. Presi dent Elton Forehand would like to have a 100 per cent attendance for the “homecoming.” —o And speaking about forgetting, here’s one who goofed Monday night. District deputies and other prominent guests attended the Eastern Star meeting and, of course, on these occasions the officers are supposed to wear evening clothes. I caught part of the Red Men meeting, chased off to the Eastern Star meeting in the hope that I’d get away in time to catch part of a church meet ing. I rushed into the Eastern Star meeting in my working clothes while all the other officers were “dressed up.” What I recret is that I for got to dress up and therefore didn’t take advant age of the opportunity to wear that 85-eent collar button I recently bought from John Ross. —o An interesting visiter while this column* was being Written was Jake Levy; who now Tives in Suffolk. Jake operated a clothing store in Eden ton way back yonder near the corner of Broad and King Streets. In the few minutes he was heie Wednesday he recalled the Edenton he knew. He remembered the bar rooms which dotted Cheapside, the wqU in the middle of Broad Street, the trees which lined Broad Street, the awnings over the s'dewalks ift the business section, “Uncle” Jimmy Roberson, tMck Lee and many other reminiscences which yours truly also t remembers. It’s sort of i pleasure to get up with former Edentonians and reminisce for a, spell. J xm CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAEOLmA. THURSDAY.
