A LIFT FOR TODAY
. . Were continually in the temple, praising
and blessing God.—Luke 24:53.
(True religion shows its influence in every
part of our conduct. It is like the sa P of ll ''7
ing tree, which penetrates the most distant
boughs. All humble, devout souls are every
where of one religion.
For cleansing and healing our hearts. O God.
we give Thee thanks. May we always be willing
to share Thee with others.
We Need To Be Reminded
With the commemoration of the Centen
nial of the War Between the States now get
ing under way for a period of four years,
every American, whether he realizes it or
not, is endowed with the power to stimulate
historical reflection and patriotic thinking
and endeavor for the good of mankind."
It doesn’t take a college degree to estab
lish in one’s mind the knowledge of the basic
principles upon which this great nation of
ours was founded. Dictators can shout them
selves hoarse trying to convince the rest of
the world that Americans are not really free.
We inherently know this is not true. Yet too
many of us sit back, smugly satisfied that
our elected officials will ‘‘do the job" in pre
serving the American way of life. And if
they don’t —by golly, we’ll vote for another
guy next time! It is not that simple.
We need to be reminded —more than ever
before—of the sacrifices and struggles of our
forefathers in carving a governmental frame
work that brought us to world leadership: of
those hardy pioneers who cut a route through
mud, rock, timber and over mountains and
rivers from the East to the West. We must
be moved to action: to help our country in
times such as these, when world peace is
threatened!
Fortunately there are those who do exer
cise their “power to stimulate”. An out
standing example is the America Fore Loyalty
Insurance Group which, with considerable dig
nity and conviction, is currently helping re
mind millions of Americans what has been
done —and what must be done by individuals
—to preserve our freedom. America Fore
Loyalty is doing this through an inspirational
series of nine national magazine advertise
ments which carry the theme, “Our Destiny
Is In Our Own Hands.” There is no sales
message here, as far as insurance is concerned.
The “product" they are selling is the in
dividual’s role in shaping America’s future.
Each advertisement carries, in full-color
reproduction, historic paintings of distinguish
ed artists from the private collection of
America Fore Loyalty. Highly significant
quotations of great men are used to tie in
with an interpretation of the paintings and
the message in the national interest.
Full-color reproductions of these presenta
tions are being sent to government officials
and educational, civic and fraternal organi
zations throughout the country.
We all should pay tribute to the dedication
and courage exhibited by our forebears
which has given us such a proud heritage and
during the Centennial celebration it should
behoove all of us to become better acquaint
ed with our historical past.
Paste This In Your Hat
When requested recently to explain reme
dies to our national dangers, of which there
is an over-supply. Herbert Hoover said.
“There are many reasons for my not doing
that chore. I was not elected to that job
last November . . . But I can make three
observations: *
“First. I am sure that the American peo
ple earnestly wish for the success of the new
Administration. It is faced with one of the
greatest challenges of our whole history.
“Second, our country has met and solved
equally great crises in the past 18S years.
“Third, this nation, founded in strength,
will not decline or fall if we remedy the
slump in morals with its trail of crime and
corruption.”
Your life can be judged only by what you
do, not by what you say you intend to do.

By Buff
Will the groundhog see his shadow today
and go back in his hole for more bad weath
er? Well, with the sort of weather we’ve
been having, who in the dickens cares a hoot
if he sees his shadow or not. The weather
couldn’t have been much worse than it was
the latter part of last week.
o
And speaking about the weather —we’ve
had it especially from Thursday through the
rest of last week, including freezing rain,
sleet and a little mixture of snow, together
with the mercury at its lowest point in a long
time. And to help make matters worse, the
current went off for almost four hours early
Friday morning, which caused even more shiv
ering. Streets and sidewalks were as slick
as a skating rink and in many cases some
people had a cool sitting down place. At
times it was hard to determine which way an
automobile wanted to go—front or sideways—
and with tires slipping at parking places, some
new tires will have to be bought sooner than
otherwise. The weather man made a very
welcome mistake, for with streets and side
walks still slippery on Saturday, he predict
ed sleet and snow on Sunday. However,
Sunday was a beautiful day, though cold, so
that some mistakes turn out to be pretty
good. But the bad weather had its good
points, too. For one thing a fellow could
make a telephone call and get an answer, for
it was too bad for anybody to venture far
from home. Then on Sunday morning the
whole works looked like Paradise. With
trees covered with ice and the sun shining
on them, they glistened and looked as though
all of them were decorated Christmas trees.
It was a beautiful sight to behold. Then an
other good feature was that the freezing
weather eliminated my debating whether or
not to go fishing on Saturday. One good rea
son was that the creeks were frozen over and
even Albemarle Sound was covered with ice
as far as one could see. The Edenton Street
Department boys, too, were glad the weather
man made a mistake for Saturday night and
Sunday. They were alerted about the dis
couraging weather forecast and were ready
to combat the elements, but instead they were
able to remain in bed which didn’t make ’em
mad a bit. Anyway, as this column is writ
ten Wednesday morning, the ice has about
vanished. Though the weather is a little
nippy at 45 degrees. I'm now wondering how
it will be Saturday for I’m on behind with
my fishing, both as to the number of trips
as well as fish caught. So. the bad spell of
weather had its bad and good points. One
of the bad angles occurred at a local motel
due to the current going off. The motels
were filled to capacity and upon entering one
of the rooms Friday, the proprietor found
the following note: “Don’t worry about us—
we’ll not be back again.” The tourist, no
doubt, thought the heat was turned off for
economy reasons.
o
Maybe I’ll have to buy a new hat a size
or two larger than my present hat. And it’s
all because of a letter sent to me from Walter
Ferebee in Norfolk, who addressed the letter
“The Chowan Herald—Best Weekly in North
Carolina.” In the envelope was a check for
his renewal to The Herald and the follow
ing note: “I would like to know why the
Edenton High School Band did not appear in
the Shrine Oyster Bowl football game in
Norfolk on October 8. I know it is a larger
and better band than 9ome of the high school
bands in the parade. I know they had an
invitation from the Oyster Bowl Committee.”
I know nothing about the invitation, but if
one was received, it’s just as well that the
band didn’t go to Norfolk, for I was among
a group who did go and got a good soaking
so that I saw little of the parade and only
about half of the football game. However,
I’ll go along with Mr. Ferebee about the
band.
o
There’s no telling what a rural mail carrier
might be asked to do. On Monday Nathan
Dail found in the mail box of Luremer, a
colored woman on his mail (route, a letter and
postcard with the following note: “Mr. Dail,
put a stamp on this letter and card and I will
buy some stamps when I get able.” What
amused Mr. Dail was that above the wo
man’s signature was the word “Smiles,”
which no doubt was a substitute for ‘‘thank
you.”
—o
It apparently seems a little difficult to get
accurate news about the captive luxury liner
the Santa Maria, but one Edenton boy no
doubt knows something about it. Lieut. Rob
ert L. Whiteman, Jr., is stationed on the de
stroyer Vogelsang off the coast of Africa
which is taking part in the Santa Maria mess.

Quite a few cigars were consumed this
week, thanks to Bob Brooks. Bob became
the daddy of a bouncing baby boy Monday
morning and made it his business to come to
the Red- Men meeting—rather late—to hand

Married Teen-Age
Couples Given Cool
Welcome In School
Most School Superin
tendents In Favor of
Married Teen-agers
Continue Education
Married high school students
are getting a cooler welcome
from school administrators today
than four years ago, a recent
poll by The Nation’s Schools
magazine shows.
The majority of the high
school superintendents partici
pating in the latest survey, how
ever, still favor permitting mar
red teen-agers to continue their
education.
Sixty-three per cent said they
would tolerate, if not welcome,
married students. Twenty-five
per cent were against the hus
band and wife remaining in
school.
In an earlier poll, conducted
in 1956, The Nation’s St hools
found that 78 per cent of the
superintendents would have per
mitted married couples to con
tinue their education. Only 15
per cent were opposed.
Other questions asked in the
latest poll and the superintend
ents’ replies follows:
1. Should husband and wife be
allowed to attend the same class
es? Yes, 53 per cent; no, 34
per cent; no opinion, 13 per
cent.
2. Should married couples be
granted a leave of absence for
personal adjustment or honey
moon? Yes, 21 per cent; no,
65 per cent; no opinion. 14 per
cent.
3. Should pregnant wives be
suspended or expelled? Sus
pended temporarily? Yes, 62
per cent; no, 20 per cent: ’
opinion, 18 per cent. Expelled?
Yes,- 22 per cent- no, 66 per
cent; no opinion, 12 per cent.
4. Should married students be
separated from single class
mates? At lunchtime? Yes, 14
per cent; no, 70 per cent; no
opinion, 10 per cent. In extra
curricular activities? Yes, 39
per cent; no, 47 per cent; no
opinion, 14 per cent.
Questionnaires were sent to a
4 per cent proportional sampling
of the 16,000 secondary educa
tors in the United States. A 53
per cent response was received.
