Dove seeks to make Ufa perfect, but a perfect life is impossible apart from pain, suffering and sorrow which chasten and purify the heart. Then it is that our Heavenly Father places his strong arm around us. revealing his compassion and power-to heal and strengthen. We thank Thee, Merciful One, for blessed promises of Thy never-failing and all-surround ing love and care. ~. , ■ A Plea for St ,‘adiness ■ Dwight Eisenhower’s good-by as President | included both a gracious “Godspeed to his successor and an exhortation to the Ameri can people to press on steadfastly. He con cluded. as he opened his first inaugural, with a prayer. This eloquently expressed aware ness of mankind’s aspirations and needs, and nobly voiced American desires for their ful fillment. Eor the rest, the talk centered on the theme of “balance. - ’ Aside from the long-range, ever-pressing threat of communism, he called , attention to two internal dangers. First he noted that America is experiencing something new in the conjunction of an “immense mili tary establishment and a large arms indus try.” Here is a power that uses half the na tional budget and has economic and political influence reaching not only into nearly every congressional district bur into millions of homes. Necessary military security surrounds some - uses of this power, but it is too often wielded with excessive secrecy. The public must re main aware of possible abuses of this power, especially if it should ever evade civilian con trol. That a soldier should sound the alert only underscores its validity. He spoke also o f a uouble danger—domina tion of scholarship by federal money and the “equal and opposite” peril of national policy being controlled by a “scientific-technological elite.” So far the nation l.a:\suffered more visibly from failure adequately to value re search and the advice of scholars able to fore cast technological advances. Rut it is true that already in one field—medicine—both civil and military authorities tend to regard “doctor’s orders” as requiring an abdication of ordinary judgment. The counsel to the people to maintain their balance is sound. Mr. Eisenhower particular ly emphasized the need for steadiness in the long-range struggle with communism. He warned that it will not be won by “the emo tional and transitory sacrifices of crisis.” Was the President thinking here of widespread j talk of a new “one-hundred days” under the ; incoming administration? Some of the President-elect’s aides have been saying that he realizes he has no mas sive mandate for new programs but believes he can win popular support for them. There have been hints that vigorous and skillful pu blicity would be used to create an emergency | atmosphere. So far he has moved with mod eration, but Mr. Kennedy favors the concept of a “strong” presidency. Also his aides and task forces continue to tell him his campaign I picture of the United States “standing still" j is a true one. These circumstances indicate the possibility o f a strenuous effort to create a mandate. Insofar as Americans are lacking in aware ness of real dangers and needs an awakening can be welcomed. In face of today’s many challenges, there can be no justification for complacency or self-indulgent anathv Rut let us not be swept off balance: let us beware “the emotional and transitory sacrifices of crisis.” Wise citizens will not .stampede but will take alert, steadfast steps to meet the demands of the long pull. —The Christian Science Monitor What Makes Main Street Go?

Their papers will I carry the only broadly circulated written rec ord of the people and even's, the problems and opinions that shape our lives in the com inanity, the state and the nation.

Our tre lagfctKlous transportation and retailing systems. Cf By Buff Some people are just plain “nerls” or else they really like to fish. This is borne out by the fact that as cold as it was Saturday and with snow falling, several fishermen were up Pembroke Creek trying their luck. Among the “nuts” were yours truly, Rick Allsbrook, Willie Bunch, Lorch Stallings and two “furri ners.” It would not have been nearly so cold had the bloomin’ fish been in the mood to bite, but even then fingers were so cold it would have been hard to even put a minnow on the hook. As for me and Rick Allsbrook, we caught the “limit” —one apiece, but Lorch Stallings told me he and Willie Bunch caught a nice bunch. Maybe they did, but they did it after I had enough and decided to go home before getting “snowbound.” The “furriners” said they didn’t do much, but I didn’t know what that meant. Anyway, for first class recreation and a means of drowning worry and trouble, give me a bucket of minnows, a few fishing poles and a boat —that’s good “medicine". I didn’t need any “medicine,” though, on Wednesday morning when Hiram Mayo dropped in the office With the mer cury hanging around 20 degrees. Hiram greet ed me with “Let’s go fishing, Buff.” How ever. had it not been for getting The Herald on the press, he would not have had to twist my arm the second time to get bundled up and head up the creek, i Bill Cozart and f got into sort of an argu ment while he was in the office late Tuesday afternoon. The argument centered around gray hair. Bill argued that he had more gray hair than I have, which I strongly de nied. However, the argument was “peace fully" settled when Bill said, “Well, I at least have more hair than you have.” I readi ly gave in on that score. And sj leaking about 1 hair, it was while a group was talking at the district Masonic meeting in Hertford Tuesday night when the subject of hair-cuts came up. One fellow asked Bill Adams why he didn't get a crew-cut. Well, Bill moved his hand over his head and said “that’s why—there’s no hair there.” Incidentally. 15 Edenton Masons attended the meeting and everyone got a belly full of barbecued chicken and an evening of genuine good fellowship. The meeting was also very enjoyable in that the principal j speaker was not one of those long-winded speakers who somehow figure that they must talk until they see some of the listeners yawn ing or looking at their watches. o Julius Leary, now living in Valley Stream, ■ X. V., sent in his renewal to The Herald and ( a brief note had this to say: “Dear Buff: j Once again I wish to express my appreciation for the fine job you and your staff are doing in affording me as well as other former Eden- j tonians. who subscribe to The Herald, the u pleasure of reading a good and complete cov- -i erage of home-town news. Best of luck to you in 1961 and keep the paper coming.” o A fellow was telling me the other day that he has a wife and a couple of kids and, of course, has an automobile. He pointed out that in every instance the wife and each one of the kids refers to the automobile as “my car.” That is except when it needs gas. a new tire or some repairs—then it is "his car”. And that’s just about the way it is with a lot of husbands and daddies. o Edenton Rotarians are very fortunate in that the ladies of St. Paul’s Church have for a long time served splendid meals for the weekly Rotary meetings. In fact quite often visiting Rotarians comment upon the good meal they enjoyed, comparing it far better than the ones served at their home clubs. The Rotarians have been paying $1.25 for the meal but the margin of profit is so close at that figure that the ladies have asked for a boost to $1.35 per meal. That the vote of the club was unanimous to pay the increased rate is evidence that the Rotarians feel that tions wares, would be of little use unless people knew what products were available, at what cost, where they could be purchased, uid in addition, were in»plied with the desire to buy. Advertising makes Main Street go in every ( city, town and village throughout the 5C states. The head of every family knows that the only way to find the right price for the quality merchandise desired is to compare the advertisements, whether the problem is making out the week’s grocery list, buying a new house or trading in the old car. Advertising supports the radio and tele vision programs, the magazines and periodicals which provide information, news and enter tainment and it makes independent news papers possible. There would be ro free press, were it not for advertising by tue’ local merchants and industries who support the press but do not control it. Whether you are selling, buying or merely interested in remaining a free informed citi zen qf the United States, advertising per forms a three-sided and indispensable service. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY JANUARY 26 ltti noh ot univwiHUs iV- A- “ ' * . * Research Puts More Dollars in South’s Pockets (This it second in a series of articles dealing with vital research programs in Southern universities that promise the master key for unlocking the region’s vast treasures in the decade of the 196ffs) ATLANTA, G«.—Basic university re search always pays off in knowledge knowledge that can be used now or knowledge thnt will be atored for later use. But sometimes It pays off in money, too. And this money goes into the pockets of the people of the South. For instance, research at the Missis sippi State University Agricultural Ex periment Station has increased the eco nomic welfare of Mississippi by several million dollars. New Industry for Mississippi At one time scientists at the station were working with anhydrous ammonia. Through their investigations they found how nitrogen could be applied directly to crops as a fertilizer. Industry moved into ’ production of the new material without delay, building three large fer tilizer plants and several smaller ones— a total investment of approximately 25 million dollars. The plants provide employment for hundreds of workers, and furnish farm ers with the nitrogen they need at a reasonable cost. It is estimated that Mississippi farm ers have saved as much as three million dollars on their fertilizer bills in a sin gle year. The use of anhydrous am monia has spread across the nation and to many other countries. “Payoffs” from Research In Louisiana, research by the Coastal Studies Institute costing less than $4,000 has resulted in rapid tests to detect spoilage which will probably save the seafood industry $2,000,000 annually. Recently a graduate student at North Carolina State College made a discovery about r. tobacco plant disease which will save the state more than the whole cost of operating the college for a year. Research dating back 30 years ago is still paying off in dollar profits for peo ple of the South. Since the early 1920’s researchers at Texas A & M have been working on hybrids in an attempt to come up with a better grain sorghum. The answer was a new breeding technique introduced to seed growers in 1953 for testing pur poses. The results have been a yield of they are getting their money's worth. In fac* almost any body would rathe* pay a little more and get a good meal than to pay less and almost be ne cessary to go home and eat after the meeting. o ' Some fellows apparently just i don’t like to work a darned bit. As nice as it was one day last week. I mentioned to a fellow that it was an ideal day to be out on the creek fishing. “I t sure is,” the guy •said, “but >l’d not even put i bait on the hook for it’s j nice to even waste the exet tion to pull in a fish.” Well, I’ve been fishing plenty of I times wiih bait on hooks, and 'even then 1 bdn’t waste any effort in pulling in a fish.

Coastal Rermuda grass. This grass, when de hydrated, ground and pelleted is equivalent to alfalfa as feed for growing young beef cattle. This will mean an additional SO million dollars in income for beef growers, university officials have estimated. 25-40 per cent more grain per acre. Last year's 270 million bushel crop was worth 23 million dollars more than the pre ceding year’s crop. The Texas A & M Experiment Station has estimated that for each dollar spent on sorghum research in the last five years, the high yield from the new hybrids has returned 80 dollars to the Texas economy, even if only half the increase is credited to the new plant. Aiding the Fishing Industry Research has also increased the in come of those who live by fishing in the waters of the South. Researchers at the University of North Carolina Fisheries Institute examined .fishing regulations not long ago to see how they could be improved. They want ed to find ways to conserve tile natural resources and to give everyone a more equitable chance at the profit. The changes in shrimp fishing regula tions alone have increased the income of North Carolina shrimp fishermen by at least four million dollars over the past eight years. Back in the 1930’s the University of Florida Citrus Station was doing some basic research on citrus fertilizers. Their painstaking work showed that adding magnesium, manganese, zinc and copper to the soil would produce more oranges. By 1937 the use of these elements in BOXSCORE ON N.C.HIGHWAY! !

That year a dramatic change took place—there was a sharp increase of fruit production per acre. In round numbers, the difference in profits between the previous fertilizing system and the new amounted to more than 90 million dollars annually. This is three times as much income to Flor ida each year as all the revenue funds ever appropriated for the operation of the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station in its entire history. Keep Check on tke Economy Not only does research help improve the economy of a state and region. It also helps to measure that economy to keep a running record of its health and growth. The University of Alabama in 1939 made a pioneering effort in the direc tion of measuring county income. Until that time it was easier to measure the nation as a whole, or even the Tegion, than it was to measure the smaller units. Seven Southern states picked up the idea and pooling their resources at the University of Kentucky in 1952 began development of new measuring method* which gauge the vitality, stability or de cline of the economy in various part* of the state*.

I Domestic use of both flue-ruro j cured and barley tobacco is ejfc/y I pected to rise in 1960-61 as a- ■ i ; result of an increase in ciga tette consumption. This report comes from J. G* W Allgood, a farm management specialist at North Carolina State ,? College. - Aligood also expects the in crease in consumption of tobacco to continue during the next. three to five years for two jxi- n mQ’v reasons. First, the popu lation will increase. Secondly, more women smokers are ex pected. Unfortunately for Tar Heel to- ... baeco growers, the export pic ture does not look so bright.,, Exports of flue-cured in T950-B1 .?. are expected to increase mod erately, while hurley exports are .. expected i-j remain at about j "933-GO levels. ! Over the next three to five -„> 1 years, no substantial increase is anticipated in exports because of , ? trade barriers and the increased ??, production of tobacco in foreign countries. Allgood reports that in 1959-60 domestic use of flue-cured was about 4 per cent larger that) m the two preceding years and I the largest in six years, j On thg other hand, exports were 5*4 percent below the , 1958-39 level and the smallest since 1952-53. . Domestic tise and exports of burlcy increased slightly in 1960. ' '".'r Harrell Oil Co. EDENTON. N. C.
