Luke 15:20. Our Heavenly Father never ceases to call us back to him, desiring that we may escape the penalties of our own folly, and enjoy the fullness of his love and mercy. Almighty God, we thank Thee for Thy infin ite love and patience, ever ready to receive us when we come to Thee in true repentance. A Kick In The Pants Right much commotion was caused in the Albemarle section last week when it was more or less reliably rumored that Gilliam Wood had been bypassed as an appointee to the new State Highway Commission. It has been generally understood in these parts that Mr. Wood was practically assured of the appointment by Governor Terry San ford, but recent word was to the effect that the nod was’ scheduled to go to Thomas G. Joyner of Northampton County. When this was learned there was a gen eral uprising among the politically-minded all over the Albemarle, for they have a right to expect a member of the Highway Commission from the area north of Chowan River. Phone calls, letters and telegrams went to the pow ers that be in protest of the proposed appoint ment of Mr. Joyner and the elimination of Mr. Wood. Whether these protests will have any bear ing on Wood’s appointment is yet to be seen. Governor Sanford is scheduled to make the appointment upon his return from; Hawaii July 2. where he is attending the National Governors’ Conference. It may be that Mr. Wood can play second fiddle. Some opti mistic views concerning Mr. Wood’s appoint ment have come about due to the report that Mr. Joyner has declined the appointment be cause of business reasons. The Albemarle section needs and is justly entitled to a member on the Highway Com mission and The Herald joins the many friends in this section who believe that he would make a good member of the group, even if he happens to get a kick in the pants by Governor Sanford. The Albemarle section played no small part in saving the hide of Sanford in the election. Probably a good cure for getting more rec ognition in North Carolina politics would be for a number of eastern counties to turn in a majority of Republican votes instead of be ing taken for granted that the vote will go as desired by big-wig Democrats. Frankly, the Albemarle section, politically, is just as much a "Lost Colony” as it was geographically before bridges were construct ed across our waterways. Headed For Death The N. C. State Motor Club predicts that I at least 21 persons will die in traffic accidents on North Carolina highways during the Fourth of July week-end. which will extend j to four days for many this year. The state will count its holiday highway j fatalities from 6P. M., Friday through mid night Tuesday, a period of 102 hours. North 1 Carolina's July Fourth traffic toll for last year’s three-day period added up to 18 killed and 349 injured in 669 accidents. Saturday accounted for 11 of the 18 deaths. Os the 682 driver violations reported, the leading causes of accidents were: speeding, i 141; driving on the wrong side of the road | other than in passing. 77: following too close ly, 73; failure to yield right of way, 68; and driving under the influence of alcohol, 56. Thomas B. Watkins, motor club president, as well as all highway officials, urge motorists drive with extra care during the dangerous holiday period and make every effort to hold down the traffic toll. i 1 J There are selfish people in every communi ty who seem to get along. The average individual takes it for granted that he knows a great deal. Most adults forget that boys and girls look at things with juvenile minds. Careful driving doesn’t always avoid an j Education is one of the comraodities of Civilization that costs money but the chances %re that it pays back a substantial profit. fdeard, & Seen By But' J j * * * A number of errors inadvertently crept in to last week’s Herald, all of which were em barrassing. The worst error was in getting figures mixed up in the Chowan County school budget, which appear corrected this week. Another goof which 1 personally made due to lack of sufficient information had to do with Chowan County boys who attended Boys’ State at Chapel Hill. On the front page was pictured Herb Adams and Mac Wright, when as a matter of fact three boys were chosen for this honor, which also in cluded Ronald Toppin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Troy Toppin. Two of the boys, Mac Wright and Ronald Toppin, were sponsored by Ed Bond Post No. 40 of the American Legion, while Herb Adams was sponsored by John A. Holmes High School. Young Toppin will be a senior at Chowan High School next term. He was elected president of the class and has been outstanding in work of Future Farmers of America. A further honor will take place at State College in Raleigh Fri day, June 30, when he will be awarded the State Farmer Degree at the State FFA Con vention. All three of the boys are to be con gratulated for their outstanding achievements which were responsible for their selection to represent Chowan County at Boys’ State. Then the previous week two Chowan girls, Anne Jenkins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Jenkins, and Annie Ruth Nixon, daughter of Mrs. Louis Nixon and the late Mr. Nixon, attended Girls’ State. Miss Jenkins, a stu dent at John A. Holmes High School and Miss Nixon, a student at Chowan High School, were both sponsored by the local Legion Auxiliary. They, too, are to be con gratulated. ° I \\ anna look at some good lookin’ folks? ! Turn to the page advertisement of the George Chevrolet Company in this issue of The Her ald. The concern is celebrating its third anniversary and with the personnel including 17 persons, it is a very healthy “youngster”. Anyway, here’s joining their many friends in wishing "a happy birthday”. > o I Many subscribers to The Herald renewed their subscriptions within the last few weeks. I One. H. P. Perry of Hampton, Va., dropped , a note: "Please let’s have more Tyner and ■ Center Hill News.” Me. too! And, incident ally. The Herald has sent out many bills for renewals. Some of these subscribers are in arrears and. in compliance with postal regu lations, their names will be taken off the cir culation list if the subscription is not paid. We don’t want to lose a single subscriber, so please let your check come in before names are dropped. It’s interesting to read short notes accompanying some of The Herald re newals. too. For instance, Mrs. Mary Fore hand Jackson, who lives at Plymouth, had this to say: “Although I live just 30 miles 1 away, I look forward to receiving my Her ald on Thursday. I enjoy reading it and 1 want to continue my subscription.” Another j subscriber, Doris Jeane W. Harrell, who lives at Ruskin, Fla., said this: “Thank you so i much for the bill—please do not discontinue The Herald as it is a long way home and I enjoy every word of it. If you are ever close to Tampa, look this small place up and be sure to drop by.” (And if I ever get down to Florida again, darned if I don’t do it.) o Well. folks you better save your extra pen- j nies, for they'll come in mighty handy begin ning next Saturday. On and after July 1, * the 3 cents on the dollar sales tax goes in effect for groceries and just about everything a person buys. Might be a lot of bellyaching. I but, like the weather, what can we do about it. And speaking about the weather, lately it has been a “dry spell” if we didn’t have a shower and even downpours as much as a few hours apart. o Dick Hines was parading around all smiles last week and carried with him a box of cigars. It was all because he became a grand- ! pappy when his son and daughter-in-law an- | nounced the birth of a daughter in Oklahoma, i It’s a long way, but Dick saw to it that cigars were passed around. He was so excited that he passed one out to me at the office, and again at the Rotary meeting he forked out another one. o Not all youngsters are extravagant, for * some of ’em apparently like to save. The other day Jo Garwood’s grandmother, Mrs. Ida Roberson, was complaining that the elec tric bill was too high and that the television would have to be cut off some. But Jo likes I the television, so at breakfast he put some' bread in the electric toaster, but did not turn i on the electricity. After a short time she j {Killed out the bread, whereupon her grand- j mother replied. “Why, Jo, you haven’t toast-1 ed your bread.” But at once Jo replied, “I, T™ CHOWAN HEHALD. EDENTON. NORTH (CAROLINA. THURSDAY. -JUNE 28. INI. I know it. I’m saving on the [electricity for toasting bread, ‘so I don’t have to turn off the television.” o The Sunday School lesson the other Sunday had to do right much with gossip. Os course, women are credited with being the biggest gossip ers, but one of the ladies at the Methodist Sunday School said men are just as bad as women, and she knew whereof she spoke. Well, I’m not dis puting her, for a lot of men apparently thrive on gossip, especially when it is not so much on the good side. o Roy Leary is pictured with some Legionnaires on the front page as he presents a clear deed to Ed Bond Post of the American Legion for the post’s property. Roy has been fi nance officer for the post for 13 years, so that he no doubt feels that he’s had the job long enough. o Remark heard at last Week’s Rotary meeting: “Better take care of yourself—you can ill afford Williford.” ‘ ' : Examiner’s Office Closed On July 4th Mac James, local N. C. State automobile license examiner, an nounces that his office at the Edenton police station will be j closed all day next Tuesday, j July 4, due to the observance oil Independence Day. Mr. James also states that j his office will be closed all dayj Monday, July 10, due to a dis- j trict meeting scheduled to be; held in Greenville.

Freak Wind Plays Havoc With Major ■f Wright’s Property In somewhat of a freak storm Thursday night, considerable damage was done to the home and store of Major Wright on the Sound Bridge road. During a heavy rain storm abouit 8:30 o’clock the freak wind struck the Wright property and did damage estimated at around $3,000. The wiqd tore loose several porch columns at the home and blew down two brick columns in front of the store causing merchandise to be thrown from the shelves. A tree in the rear of the store was al so blown down and a small shed was demolished. 1 The Wright family was inside the house When the twister struck, but fortunately no one was injured.
