A LIFT FOR TODAY I T The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a con trite spirit.—Psalm 34:18. Jesus cannot and will not accept us, if we come trusting in our own virtues; when we ap proach him penitently confessing our shortcom ings, he will receive us gladly and impart his strength to our weakness. Our Loving Father, make our hearts perfect toward Thee, loyal and obedient unto Thy will and Thy purposes for world redemption may be perfected through us. Small But Good Quality Though Chowan is one of the smallest counties in the State, the quality of its citi zens and its products stacks up well with any of the other counties. An example of this is reflected in the news just released that Mrs. Marvin Evans was .one of the 12 winners in the Atlantic & Pa cific Tea Company’s Leadership Award. As ’a reward she will be presented a silver tray at the annual Awards Night Program to be .held in Raleigh July 13 in connection with the observance of Farm Home Week. Mrs. Evans has been an outstanding Home Demonstration Club member for six years and has had a perfect attendance record with the Oak Grove Club, in which she played an im portant part in organizing. Her interest and enthusiasm has become contagious, in that she, her husband and four of their six chil dren won 46 medals and certificates at the County Achievement Day program. The Herald congratulates her upon her -success in winning the leadership award. She has won an outstanding honor not only for herself and family, but Chowan County as a whole, and especially Home Demonstration Club women, are justly proud that she was able, among so many club women, to bring this honor to Chowan County. So Long Forgotten W’ith all the emphasis now placed on com memorating the Civil War dead, and interest directed on the disposition of the Civil War monument here in Edenton, it is a trifle odd that no effort has been made to perpetu ,ate the names and deeds of the men of Cho wan County who died in World Wars I and II and Korea. js It is true, efforts have been made to se cure a roster of such veterans, but those who have attempted to gather this vital informa tion have received no cooperation from the .part of the public who should be most inter ested. and have been met on all sides with an almost total apathetic disinterest. These men who died in World W T ars I and II and Korea touch our lives more intimate ly than the men of earlier wars, for there is a personal sympathetic bond between them .and us. They were our friends and neigh bors, husbands and sweethearts, and there should be for them the same affinity of col lective compassion that we show the fallen heroes of the Civil War. This is not to lessen or minimize in any degree those gallant men who fell on Civil War battlefields, but to merely point up the fact that Chowan County should commem orate ALL of its heroic war dead. There should be erected here in Edenton a monu ment or bronze scroll inscribed with the names of all of these men. For in so doing we will symbolize what we all, no doubt, feel jin our hearts, but which is yet an urgent duty we have allowed to remain too long undone. i •i ;; Not every time a man speaks in a loud voice does he say something worth hearing. i; The problem of living is to find time for the things that we would like to do if we had the time. The educators tell us that we can learn from the past, but it can’t be done unless 'you are willing to read. IF There are very few young men, starting out in life, who do not believe that, within rfew years, they will be rich. Wouldn’t Edenton be a wonderful place in [ijhkh to live if the “good neighbor” policy were applied by all of pur citizens? p- iranic accidents can dc avoiueu, sajr tnc experts, and we think they are right, but this not mew that nobody will be killed on kleard & Seen Byßuff The Rocky Hock Orioles are organized and have already started playing baseball and if the attendance at the first two games is any indication, it’s no telling how long they will be able to play. The club went in the hole for both games but, of course, we haven’t had what can be termed baseball weather. Wal lace Evans, manager, and Alvin Evans, presi dent of the Orioles, are right much concern ed about the support in way of attendance. They believe the club can and will provide good and interesting baseball during the sum mer, but they must have attendance to meet the expenses. The two officials are not es pecially concerned about making any money, hut they just cannot afford to put a team on the field unless the gate receipts are suf ficient to cover the actual expenses. Time was when Edenton was a baseball hotbed and when it was almost a holiday when a baseball game was on tap. Os late years, however, there has been many a ball game played when the gate receipts hardly amounted to enough to pay for the balls. The boys are anxious to provide the great national pastime, so they are hoping enough people will patronize the games in order to make ends meet. Let’s give ’em a hand. o In one of the many pieces of reading mat ter reaching my desk, I noticed the follow ing; “Man is the only animal that can be skinned more than once.” Then, “What’s money? Just something that brushes against your fingers on its way to Washington” and “giving to the church is like making love to a widow—you can’t overdo it.” Still another, “there’s nothing like a dish towel for wiping that contented look off a married man’s face.” o A reader of this column the other day gave me the following item. Because I’m “in cluded in that number.” here ’tis: A PRAYER FOR OLDER PEOPLE Father, Thou knowest I am growing older. Keep me from becoming talkative and pos sessed with the idea that I must express my self on every subject. Release me from the craving to straighten out everyone’s affairs. Keep my mind free from the recital of end less detail. Seal my lips when I am inclined to tell of my aches and pains. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may he wrong. Make me thoughtful but not moody, helnful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom and experience, it seems a pity not to use it all, but Thou knowest. Lord, that I want to keep my friends until the end. Amen. o Ye editor sort of renigged this week in getting out The Herald. While members of The Herald crew were busy as bees the early pan of this week, he was in Asheville attend ing the Great. Council session of North Caro lina Red Men. Os course attending long drawn-out meetings and listening to some long-winded “orators” is just about as tire some as doing the hundred and one jobs ne cessary to be done in getting out the paper. About the only difference is that at the con vention a fellow hears a lot of jokes—some new and some so old they have whiskers. o Jaycees at their meeting Thursday night were serv'd two different kinds of meals— . steak and beans. The reason being that a membership drive recently completed was the deciding factor as to who ate what. The winners in the drive and the new members added wer p ved steaks, while those on the losing =ide had to eat beans. At any rate they all got a belly full. o Russell Bnntley, director of the Wake For est News R"r n ’ii, sent in a large picture of an old car on the Wake Forest College campus which its owner, a senior, decided to charge 25 cents a smash rather than sell his auto to a iunk dealer. Shown in the picture was William Cook Griffin of Edenton, getting his two bits’ worth by smashing in the headlight with a large hammer. Griffin is a sophomore who plans to major in physical education and apparently was enjoying taking a crack at the old automobile. o Josiah Elliott was telling me that descend ants of Civil War veterans are now few and far between in Edenton and was saying that time passes very swiftly. Anyway, Joe is 74 years old and rares back on his bicycle as gracefully as any yewngster still in his teens. o A week or two ago I mentioned the fact that my daughter planted a few WONDER tomato and pepper plants. I said the ‘“won der” no doudt meant to wonder if t£e plants will produce any tomatoes or peppers. But l with ft* cool weather we’ve been h*vii* I’ve changed the “wandw” to naan wonder if the Hoomin' phmtt- W# dvdlir gram at ail. ; • -> " \V - - .. * * ‘ «_•' -j ■■ ‘ i Committee Chairmen Named For Edenton Woman’s Club Mrs. W.
