Tuft for today• •k . . . The effectual fervent prayer of a right eous man availeth much. — James 5:16. DO WE REALIZE the unmeasured spiritual re sources available to us when we really pray ■ Is not prayer like the tuning oi an instrument—to get us in tune with heaven s melody? Is it not the chemistry that turns all hfe to gold. ‘Our Father, may we be righteous enough for Thee to release Tny redemptive power through US for the advancement of Thy work here on earth. Big Day At Hand It’s hard to conceive that any stone has been left unturned in order to make the 1961 Pilgrimage of Colonial Edenton and Country ‘ side a magnificent success. Due to enthusi astic and hard-working members of the Eden ton Woman’s Club, sponsors of the tour, plans for the event were started months ago and there has been no let-up in efforts to publi cize and do everything possible to make the tour the most outstanding since it was inau gurated. For the event Edenton should be in its “Sunday dress,’’ for no little effort has been made to have the town as a whole in a tidy and attractive appearance. Historic build ings have been tidied up so that they were never more attractive. People have cleaned up around their premises so that visitors should be very favorably impressed with a neat and clean town. With so much whole hearted cooperation on the part of Edenton people and Chowan County in general, mem bers of the Woman’s Club feel that their ef forts will not have been in vain and that the pilgrimage will result in more favorable pub licity than money could buy. With the preliminary work of the pilgrim age going so smoothly and enjoying the full cooperation of people as a whole, the wo men iiv- charge of the tour are nothing but the prospect of a delightful tour. They feel that Edenton people in general, too, are looking forward to the event with pleas ure and that the friendliness and hospitality for which Chowan County holds an envia ble reputation will be reflected during the stay of the many visitors expected. It is an opportunity for Edenton and Cho wan County to put its best foot forward and win many more appreciative and lasting friends. The community has many things to offer which have too long been “hid under the bushel” so that the Woman’s Club is to be congratulated for inaugurating these tours and their efforts in making each succeeding one surpass the previous one. This year’s* tour, which was advertised far more than any one before, is expected to eclipse all so far held, which only goes to prove what can be accomplished by hard and persistent work, aided by a goodly portion of cooperation. Chowan County may well be proud of this year’s pilgrimage for the offerings are far superior to many sections of the country which boast and greatly benefit materially by what they have to offer in way of his torical shrines. The Herald, together with a host of Cho wan County people, welcome the visitors to Edenton for the 1961 pilgrimage and hopes our guests will go back home with the feel ing that they are glad they came, and that many will come back again even without the tour. Long May It Fly The following appears at the masthead of i Texas newspaper: “The Pecos Independent is a non-partisan, conservative newspaper dedicated to promot ing the individual’s freedom and the growth of Pecos and West Texas. We subscribe to the belief that freedom is a gift of God and not a political grant. We believe that free dom is consistent only with Christianity. We believe that our welfare shall depend on our own initiative and ability; we believe in main taining a society in which the citizen has full est individual freedom and the government’s primary and paramount role is the protection of that freedom.” In this objective lies the freedom of the press. t : Whenever you assume shat somebody, or something, cannot be wrong, you are wrong. & Any old excuse will suffice for not work ing Igit the best is the possession of plenty I cash. As long as some peoplehave to eat. aklearcl •Seen By Buff ~ Tuesday night a plane from Nebraska landed at tne Edenton airport at the base. I understand it came to Edenton to carry back to Nebraska a shipment of rockfish fingerly from the U. S. Fish Hatchery. An other plane is expected to land today (Thurs day) carrying an industry prospect. Gov ernor Terry Sanford is also scehduled to land at the airport Friday for the opening of the Pilgrimage of Colonial Edenton and Country side. Here’s hoping this is only a starter for extensive use of the airport. o Bill Sexton, up at the Post Office, has been noticing postcards going through the mail from points far south. Most of these cards show a beach umbrella stuck in the sand under which is a beautiful girl in a bathing suit. The cards are so interesting to Bill that he’s trying a stunt. In the Post Office he has set up a beach umbrella under which he has sprinkled some sand in the hope (may be) that he will come in some morning to find a pretty sweet young thing reclining under the umbrella. Up to now, however, it has been mighty poor “bait”. o Mrs. Joe Stone was rather surprised the other day when, while sitting in the Colonial Restaurant, she spied an airplane which she thought was going to land on the roof of the building. However, the plane landed on the road beside Seabrook Blanching Corpora tion, not because it was in trouble, but be cause the two occupants must have been hun gry. After the landing the plane was parked beside the road and two men rambled over to the restaurant for dinner. It was quite a surprise for Mrs. Stone, who remarked that they had “customers from the sky”. o So far as I know, there’s been only one criticism about the Pilgrimage of Colonial Edenton and Countryside which begins Fri day. This criticism was a postcard to The Herald from Marjorie Young, a travel edi tor of The Daily Mail at Anderson, South Carolina. Said Miss Young: “If the ‘N. C.’ after your newspaper name, as printers of the 1961 Pilgrimage to Colonial Edenton and Countryside, had not been printed in fine type at the bottom back of the folder which I received. I would never had known what state the pilgrimage was in. There are many, mentions of Virginia and I would have guess ed Virginia. We get many folders this time of year (over 500). What route is Edenton on? Near where?” 1 happened to have a folder about Edenton, so by now Miss Young should be adequately advised about Edenton. ——o Have you taken a look down Broad Street toward the water the last few days? If it looks a little different, you’ll note that the signal tower has been removed. Its removal was urged a few months ago by members of the Edenton Woman’s Club in order to help beautify the waterfront. Come to think about it, the appearance has been improved. o Lots of work is being done to make Eden ton attractive for the Edenton tour the latter part of this week, but one “decoration” was caught in time. Tuesday morning, beside the teapot at the Court House Green, an over-enthusiastic person hung up a pair of ladies’ step-ins on the iron fence. The things were fastened with clothes pins and blowing in the stiff breeze, but they were removed and it’s hard to tell the owner where she can get ’em back. Sort of a lover’s lane that street beside the green. o Windows in the business section which have displays in connection with the Edenton tour are attracting a lot of attention. Mrs. Dick Baer was looking in one of the windows and as she took a second look she said she was in the “twilight zone.” Anyway, the committee has been working hard to get up these displays, so take a look at the win dows. Nope, none of the stuff is for sale. o Anybody on friendly terms with the weath er man? If so, he should be treated as good as possible especially over the week-end. The stage is all set for the 1961 Pilgrimage of Colonial Edenton and Countryside for what is expected to be the best pilgrimage ever. If the weather man cooperates, the event should attract a large crowd of visitors and with so much work done, they should be very favor ably impressed with their* visit to the old town. rO Here’s one of the oldtimers who went fish ing Saturday, but I learned that experience don’t count for so very much up the creek. Passing young Phil Harrell and Charlie Over ton, the two youngsters who. were more or less messing around, held up a nice string of fish. C. D. Sawyer and I didn’t have the nerve to hold up our stringer which at the time had only four fish on it. " • >*«» THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. APRIL 13.
