THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1960- a uft Tor today Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be vour servant. —Matthew 20:27 THE SON OF MAN came not to be ministered unto but to minister unto the sick the needy and the lost. Our lives, to be worthwhile, should be patterned after the Perfect F-xample■ Merciful Father, ma» the life of the Peerless Prophet of Galilee be a challenge to serve hu manity „ . All Should See What many Edenton people have been wait ing for will become a reality Friday aftei noon of this week. At that time the premiere showing of Edenton s promotional film, \e Towne on Queen Anne s Creek will be pre sented at the Taylor Theatre by courtesy of the management. There will be two presentations of the film, one at 2 o’clock and again at 5:45. It is suggested that, so far as possible, school chil dren attend the matinee performance, so that more room will be available for adults at the later showing. There will be no charge to see this film and it is hoped every person in Edenton and Chowan County will take advantage of the opportunity to see this picture. It is expected to be witnessed by millions of people through out the United States and that it will event ually benefit this section economically. Now To Work! The American |>cople have been exposed to an extremity of distractions this year. There was the tumultous and unprecedented meeting of chiefs of state at the l nited Na tions. which dominated the headlines for weeks. During it and after it was the long drawn out presidential campaign. The I N meeting is over, and the Presi dential decision has been reached. The con gratulations of the American people have gone out to the energetic and determined President-elect who will be the youngest man ever elected to the office and the second youngest ever to serve. More important. John Kennedy has the profound hopes of the people that he will find within himself the strength, resolution and wisdom to discharge the duties of the most difficult and exhausting job in the world. Now. it is time to get back to work. The basic strength of this nation does not lie in the leaders, important as they are. It lies in the people. It is the thinking of the peo ple. the decisions they reach, that will deter mine whether a free, proud and strong Ameri ca fs to he preserved or lost. Consumer “The consumer is king today. Our nation has moved from an era of scarcity to an era of plenty, and this makes the role of the con sumer more important than ever . . . No one has yet come forward with an adequate sub stitute for his sovereignty in the market place . . . Business has no choice but to discover what he wants and to serve his wishes, even his whims.’’ The words are those of Steuart Henderson Britt. Professor of Marketing and Advertis ing at Northwestern University and appear in his new book. "The Spenders,” published by McGraw-Hill. What he says will not come as news to the great industry which has the cloest relation of all with consumers—re tailing. There never was a time when com petition for consumer favor was greater. And. as a result .there never was a time when re tailers of all kinds and sizes have given so much effort to trying to find out what con sumers want and providing it. The fruits ot this situation are many and varied. For one thing, retail stocks become larger, more attractive, geared to almost every taste and pocketbook. For another, shop ping is made more convenient, with efficient stores, competent help, ample parking, infor mative advertising and the other tools of the trade. And—of great important to us all maximum return is given for each dollar spent. In staple lines, such as foods, stores commonly earn a .profit of but one cent or each dollar of sales, or a trifle more. In oth er lines, the profits run only two or three cents on the dollar—a percentage so smaF that most buyers would never notice the dis ference if there were no profit at all. Yes, the consumer is king. • $ je l 1 Editors are humans, they make mistake: Hke everyone else. • '• * . fy Common sense is a quality m2ny lawyer n /'V ? o rtearu CT teen By BufJ I must have missed a real treat by not attending the husband’s supper at Wards Community Building last week/ At least a dozen people have told me I lost out on a good meal as well as a good speech by Dr. Rachel D. Davis of Kinston. I’ve been told that Dr. Davis uncorked some very good jokes and at the same time said she was glad that the press was not represented at the meeting. I’ve been told one of her jokes, so 1 know I missed out the whole way around. o And speaking about eating, the women of the Cross Roads-Center Hill Rural Fire Dis trict sure put out a good meal at the soil cony I servation district supervisors’ meeting hel/1 | in the armory Thursday night. Os course, 1 saw some men hanging around the armory prior to the meeting, so they, too, are due for ! some praise for the splendid barbecued chick- I ens. Like Henry Gray Shelton said the la dies “prepared something superior for the in terior.” o ! Another good meal is in prospect next Mon day night when the Chowan Ruritan Club will observe ladies’ night at the Cross Roads Community Building. The meal will be ser ved by the members of the Rvland Home Demonstration Club with the speaker to be an agent from the FBI. Troy Toppin ex tended me a special invitation to attend and, my belly willing. I’ll be there. Incidentally, Mrs. John Mitchener asked how it is that I get so many invitations to attend all kinds of meals. Well, it surely is not my looks nor my winning ways, so maybe it’s just be cause I look just plain hungry. o One of the latest subscribers to The Her ald is I. H. Spruill of Poughkeepsie, New York. Said Mr. Spruill: “I enjoy the con tents of. The Herald. lam quite sure it will be a great value to me as I am interested in your beautiful and progressive town.” o Some of the Edenton Aces lost out in Fri day night’s football game over at Greenville-. Usually after the game some of the gals flock on the field to kiss their favorite player. But Friday night they balked at kissing. The boys, playing on a wet and soggy field, were covered with mud from head to foot and even their faces “looked as though they were in a mud pie battle. The gals and Edenton fans | as well were proud of the boys for the way i they trounced Garner, but the kissing part was called off—until later, maybe. And speaking about football, the Aces take another crack at Wallace-Rose Hill next Fri day night in Greenville for the eastern cham pionship. The Aces easily defeated the Dup lin County outfit earlier in the season 30 to 6, but that is no assurance that the Bulldogs will be as easy this time. They’re aware of the calibre team they will be up against and for that reason can be expected to put up a much tougher scrap this time. They’re re- 1 ported to have greatly improved. However, I if the Aces play their usual brand of ball, here’s one who expects ’em to play for the ( state championship. Like Hiram Mayo said Tuesday morning: “The Aces play Friday night at the same place and at the same time, only the score will be 25-0 in favor ot the 1 Aces.” At any rate, it will no doubt be a good game and if the weather man is more j cooperative than he was last Friday night, Edenton will turn out in great numbers. o Bob Evans. Chowan County’s game warden, j was a guest at last week’s Rotary meeting | and. after a splendid wildlife film, answered a number of questions poked at him by the Rotarians. One of his answers was that it is against the law to shoot ducks and geese with a rifle. Why come? Why a lot of us can’t even hit the scudders with a shot gun, so what chance would there be in hitting one with only one bullet! o I didn’t get a picture, but the Rev. Ralph Fowlkes - on Monday caught a 6-pound rock fish. He was fishing over Hertford way and lie’s my preacher, so I’ve got to take his word about the weight of the fish. o : With Thursday being Thanksgiving Day, members of the Edenton Street Department will enjoy a holiday. No trash or garbage will be collected Thursday, but the boys will be back on the job bright and early Friday morning. o Nick George and Cecil Fry did a lot of ‘alking to themselves at Friday night's foot all game. They record the game for radio station WCDJ and after the game and all heir talking they discovered there was no electricity on their rig. They?! do some checking next Friday night, so if “juice” >s on the game will be broadcast 'Saturday morning as usual. '■ lie who htugfe last° TtWghs best, which is THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON.

Frank, an ar dent supporter of the North Carolina Tar Heels, was among the many Tar Heel fans who were made more than jubilant over the defeat of Duke 7-6. Said Frctnk the other day, “Many thanks. To all Duke supporters and oth ers who felt inclined to put me on the spot for last Sat urday’s game which, as you all know, was won by Caro lina 7-6. Drop by and see me, for I am looking forward to your visit.” What F’rank, no doubt, is interested in is to have his friends call and pay off their bets. Purchares Os Farm Land Should Check On Crop Allotments Both Buyers And Sell ers Have Responsi bility to Carry Out Regulations Persons who are buying or selling farmland for which an allotment has been es tablished have a definite respon sibility for becoming familiar with the regulations of the Sec retary of Agriculture governing combination and division of al-J lotments and for advising coun ty ASC committees when pur chases or sales have been made. I According to H. D. Godfrey, | administrative officer for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation State Committee. 1 county ASC committees are not in a position to know of all land | sales and purchases and, there- 1 fore, they cannot make a change in the acreage allotment for the' land involved until a request for a division or a combination is filed by the interested pro-! ducer. The Department of Agri- 1 culture has issued definite regu- 1 lations and instructions on how. allotments may be divided or' combined. County ASC Com-| mittees must follow these regula tions in all cases. Many farm ers have had some unhappy ex periences in the past because they did not determine in ad vance how the acreage allot ments would be divided before they bought or sold land cover-j ed by the allotments- OodOpv further brought out that both the buyer and the sell er have a responsibility, for noti- U ’ -1 11 111 * 1 * ■ ■ 11 . |L $292 quart BL son company :.g. \ H tgwnMtur If -* Btettdfd Whisk / 70%Yni*nnirM*ririU : U * . ... . fying the county ASC office as soon as possible after land is sold and for requesting the coun ty ASC committee to make a di vision of the allotment for the farm if only a part of the farm is sold. If the producer owns other land and wishes to com bine the newly purchased land with what he already owns, he must file a request with the county committee for the com bination. The County Committee, ac cording to Godfrey, may not ap prove a combination unless the tracts are operated in such a way as to come within the defi nition of one farm by the secre tary’s regulations and instruc tions. Before approving a com bination for additional land pur chased, ASC committees are al so required to determine that a legal deed has been made and recorded in connection with the newly purchased land. Godfrey further urged that lawyers or real estate agencies who are handling the sale or purchase of farmland or who are advising farmers in such trans actions become familiar with the regulations before advising their clients or completing any trans action.

He said the watershed program is sound in that it is a local program initiated by local peo ple and carried out with the assistance of the federal gov ernment. U.S.SAVINGS BONDS It is basfed on scientific prin ciples, he said, which combine soil tnd water conservation treatment of farm and land based on land capability and provides for multiple purpose ob jectives which include flood prevention measures, agricultural water management and non-ag ricultural water management measures.such as fish and wild life development, municipal and industrial water supply, recrea tion, pollution abatement con trol by stream-flow regulation and saline-water-intrusion com bat. ? A. Mr. Fountain reviewed the soil conservation progrqpi and the progress it has made. He was high in praise of tfie work done in the northeastern area and presented statistics to empha size the fact that the area leads the rest of the staje in the soil conservation program. He call ed for stronger stewardship and conservation of natural resources in order that future generations will look with pride upon the legacy passed on to them. Mr. Fountain also praised Congress man Bonner for the part he has played in Congress in connec tion with the program. A. C. Edwards, chairman of the Coastal Plain Soil Conser vation District, served as toast master. The invocation was by Joe Gantt and the visitors were welcomed by Mayor John Mitch ener. The response was by Henry Gray Shelton of the Coastal Plain District. Guests were recognized by Mr. Edwards. Others speaking on the program were Bryce R. Younts, admini strative officer, and R. M.
