A LIFT FOR TODAY If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow me.— Luke 9:23. Acceptance of the Cross of Christ means cru cifixion of our lower selves, and willingness to follow the ground-plan of Christian living. Teach us. O Lord, the difference between forced crosses and Chosen ones, that we may willingly dedicate ourselves to Him who freely gave His all Rules On Water Needed It is encouraging to no*e that the North Carolina State Wildlife Resources Commis sion has awarded a contract for construction of a boating access area at the Chowan River bridge. The addition of this facility will, without doubt, attract many more boating and fishing enthusiasts to waters hereabout. And while the advantages of water recreation will be greatly increased, it goes without saying that the possibility of accidents on the water will also be greater. In this connection what Dick Herbert, who writes “The Sports Observer” in the Raleigh News-and Observer, has to say is very timely. In Tuesday morning’s edition of the News and Observer Mr. Herbert had this to say: “Almost every day there is an item in the paper about a needless drowning. It is start ling in this day of easy communication that so manv are so ignorant about the dangers of water. “The Florida tragedy in which one adult Sunday school supervisor and 17 children were drowned brings all this to the front again. '•How anyone could put 18 youngsters in addition to himself into a small 14-foot boat is beyond comprehension. Not more than five should have been in the boat and all of them should have been equipped with life jackets. “Overloading a boat has taken many lives. Almost always the overload is with people who can not swim. They pile into the craft as long as it will stay afloat. There is no thought to the fact that once it ships water, it is almost certain to put all the occupants into the water. “The boat in Florida apparently managed to make several trips loaded far beyond its normal capacity before the weight of 19 occu pants put it under when one or two of them made a movement in position. “There are a lot of campaigns for water safety, but there still is no requirement for getting into a boat and running it. A Live year-old could drive a craft with a 75-horse power motor sending it at speeds of 35 miles an hour, and the other people on the lake or river would be at his mercy. “The man who put 18 youngsters in a boat that was built for not more than five paid for the error with his life. But the 17 to 1 was a had rate of exchange. “Progress has been made in educating boat operators about how to operate their crafts safely. There still is much to be done. “It is amazing how a man cautious in every other respect will buy a powerful boat and then try to run it at top speed in dangerous waters without knowing anything about how it should be done properly. “The water is a wonderful place to relax and have fun. hut it also is a place where the rules of survival must be observed. There is a great responsibility placed. on anyone who owns a boat. He should remember it.” Edenton’s Town Council has become very much concerned lately about safety in local waters and at present is investigating the possibility of the Wildlife Resources Com mission having the authority to adopt rules and regulations relative to water travel. There are strict rules which must be com plied with by motorists who travel on the highways and with travel on water increasing by leaps and bounds, some provision should be made for certain requirements on the part Os those who travel on water. -»There are many people who think anything is evil if many people like it. • - •' The expression of personality is not synono luous with oddity or insanity. If it wasn’t for the detailed work, every business man would be a wizard. •Obey the rides of the road if you would £kr to live longer. - : fc. 'f, i 1 v .” \■ v * .* ! SHB C* V Seen Edenton and Jimbo’s Jumbos in particular got a plug in the August 17 issue of Life Magazine. In a preliminary paragraph com menting on industry’s spectaculars appeared ftie following: “In Edenton, N. C., you can sv Jimbo’s Jumbos (peanuts) being salted and bagged for the ball park trade.” The ar ticle further states: “At a lot of places which invite inspection the host practices the pleas ant custom of sending visitors away with free samples—from a chocolate kiss in the candy plant to a foaming beer in the brewery’s priv ate bar.” : —o Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Oglesby were very gracious hosts at their cottage along the Chowan River the other afternoon when the Missus and I paid them a visit. Jimmy went to a lot if trouble to go on a little fishing trip out in the river in front of his cottage. And, like I do when taking friends or relatives fish ing, the bloomin' fish just didn’t bite. I did catch something, however, for Jimmy showed me around his place, so that I “caught” two very friendly red bugs. Mrs. Oglesby, too, showed off her pet Chihuahua dog which is about as big as two cents. She knitted a coat for the dog and dressed him all up for the company. Anyway, the folks who have cot tages (and they’re quite a few of ’em) along the river apparently enjoy the time they spend there. — ; o Paul Partin and Edward Tavlor are finally * * ■ • fixed up in the new Bridge Turn Esso Servi center. For some time they’ve been doing business with a truck as headquarters while the new station was being constructed. The new station has greatly changed the appear ance at the northwest corner of Broad and Queen Streets, so that old-timers returning for a visit to Edenton will hardly recognize the place. o Wednesday morning the news was spread that Mrs. Henry Quinn had the misfortune to fall in the P & Q Super Market Tuesday night ind as a result is now nursing a broken leg. Mrs. Quinn slipped on some fluid on the floor causing the painful accident. Here’s hoping she will gradually recover from the unfortun ate accident. o Members of Chowan Tribe of Red Men plan to stage a cook-out at Sandy Point Beach Monday night, August 27. at 7 o'clock. The boys have invited their wives, members of the Degree of Pocahontas and members of he Red Men softball team and their wives. The Red Men will be the “cooks” for this af fair. so that the ladies need not have any re luctance to attend for fear of being obliged to serve as chief cooks and bottlewashers. T —O And speaking about eating, the Albemarle Soil Conservation District will hold its annual fish fry Saturday afternoon. August 25. - The if fair will be held at the Scott & ‘Halstead Packing Shed at Elizabeth City from 5 to 7 o’clock. Word has gone out that for one buck a person may eat all he wants. Lloyd Bunch. Joe Webb. Jr., and Fahey Byrum have tickets o ■ sp ll and they’d be glad to have a large rowd of ( howan County fish eaters attend. o Cal Boyce attended the state and national coroners’ convention held last week at Ashe ille and in the election of officers Cal was named second vice president of the state or ganization. Here’s one who extends r.ongratu ations to him. o It s not very often that Town Councilmen one up with a tie vote on a matter, but it lappened Thursday night at the August meet ng of I own Council. Tom Shepard request 'd a SIOO appropriation to help cover the ex enses of a district Democratic rally to be held in Edenton on Tuesday, October 9. Three of the Councilmen voted in favor of the ippropriation and three opposed it, so that Mayor John Mitchener, for once, had an op portunity to vote —that’s the only time he can vote even if he is the Mayor. Anyway, the Mayor joined the trio who favored the SIOO ppropriation. so that Edenton will, as usual, put its best foot forward when hundreds of Democrats from the First District gather in Edenton. Let’s make ’em feel glad that they came! o For the first time I’ve been able to eat all ‘he tomatoes I want from my own “garden.” Only six stalks were planted and since the to matoes began to ripen it was not necessary to buy a single tomato. Reason for only six to mato plants is: The soundest advice That a man can heed— -i. Don’t plant more garden Than your wife can weed. THE CHOW AW HERALD, EneNTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY.

If needed, the third game will be played on Chowan High School’s field Friday night. Rocky Hock defeated Wind sor Wednesday night of last week in the first contest of the semi-final competition. Zackie Harrell added another victory to his list of mound laurels, and the Orioles supported him by scoring all their runs in the sec ond inning. Sammy Morris had two hits in that frame. Friday night’s game was rain ed out, but on Sunday afternoon only six Orioles showed up for the game, and Rocky Hock lost 5-4.
