A LIFT FOR TODAY . . Know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge.—F.ph. 3:18. The highest attribute of God—the essence of the Holy One himself—is love—and will lead us on to new discoveries of love, passing our knowledge to understand. Help us, merciful Father, to love Thee more end serve Thee better. A Condition To Correct By BILL GOODWIN, JR. Edenton should be ready for a rescue ef fort such as the one that saved Carl Fore hand. Chester Weikel and Weikel’s two small children. The performance on August 12 was commendable, but as the Boy Scout motto states, it is better to “Be Prepared”. The fire department does the best it can, and it is an exceptional unit. It operates a trained and efficient rescue squad, but con flicts are possible. A rescue and fire at the same time could certainly make things tense for a while. A possible answer to any emergency would be a separate rescue unit, a squad completely independent but an integral aide to the fire department. It would be an organization with its own alarm signal, its own trained regular and volunteer personnel, and its own equip ment designed for every operation. Once a new municipal building is erected, the fire department will be enlarged. An op portunity for action will be at hand. Some one must carry the torch for safety. Many things can be done to prepare Eden ton for water emergencies, but the most glar ing needs, as demonstrated by the experience of Forehand and Weikel, are organization, training and equipment. Organization and training could be taken care of by an active, separate rescue squad. The big thing needed August 12 was com munication and lighting equipment. Boats were scattered over the dark waters and not more than two or three of them ever knew where each other were. Another thing needed is an operational plan for searching the sound. Larger cabin cruis ers, with lights and radio equipment, would each take a group of small craft, with walkie talkies and lights, and search a given area of the surface. It would not take long to cover the sound with this method. The entire operation could be directed by a master radio station located at, say, the police or fire station. Constant fixes on posi tions would be made, the sound easily search ed. and the safety of the searchers insured. Ironically, the most sure-fire preventative measure was not in operation on August 12. Curtis Forehand. Carl’s father, who is a mem ber of the Civil Air Patrol, had been flying late-evening patrols over the sound. But he was out of town on August 12. A plane in the air can easily spot a dis tressed boat or find a lost object, but it must have some way of alerting a rescue unit. The Edenton Flying Club has the plane and is more than willing to fly the missions, but it needs radio equipment and lights for the craft. One of the Civil Air Patrol’s missions is to aid in search and rescue efforts, and it and the local Civil Defense can do much to get the equipment necessary. But things that are needed are finances and initiative. A thousand dollars would buy enough radio equipment to outfit any emergency effort and buy lighting gear also. Civil Defense can secure matching government funds, and the CAP can obtain surplus radios, generators, and other government equipment. There are, in short, many things that can be done. The only question is when. That can be answered only by the people who are willing to look after themselves and their neighbors. Let us hope that those who care will act before it is too late. Another Au gust 12 may be right around the corner. Let’s keep our friends alive to see the 13th. Holes Will Be Left Congressman Walter Norblad of Oregon asked the House Committee of Interior and Insular Affairs to rejedl the Administration’s proposal to federally tax pleasure boats. "Although the proposed annual $5.00 tax is Hmited now to boats 14 feet long or over,” said Mr. Norblad, “we can be sure from past Experience that it would only be a abort time until boats 12 feet long, then 10 feet, ate., would be Federally taxed. Many states ~ . i ' ’> .y m&r . ' ■v... ; .• ; Ideard Seen By Buff Thanks to Charles Ray Knox, who now lives at Loganport, Indiana, I can smoke two cigars coming from Indiana. Mr. Knox be came the daddy of a daughter, Lisa Ray Knox, on August 4. Os course, Grandpa and Grandma, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Knox, had to go to Loganport to see the new grandchild, and Friend Louis delivered the cigars to me. o Most of the letters received from readers are usually encouraging, but in the mail this week Duke Braswell sent the following: “Dear Editor—l am a citizen of Edenton. and have been living here for 18 years. To show for my conduct and good behavior as a! good citizen. I hold two letters of recom mendation to prove it. This being true, then why is it not safe for a Negro citizen to walk to and from his home or church without the city police stopping them and searching them as if though they were public enemy Xo. 1? I live from day to day in hopes that our town and our country will continue to be free from such Nazi-like. acts. 1 am not a student of the constitution, but I do know there’s some where in it that gives me the right to move about my town as a citizen and the right of freedom of speech and assembly. And I am sure in that same constitution it says I am due the protection of the law. Is it that the police lack experience or is it they lack enough work to do? I love my little quiet Town on Queen Anne's Creek.” o It’s sort of puzzling why some people go to a lot of trouble to raise things and*have a hard time getting results; when some others get results with hardly any concern at all. For instance last summer Nathan Dail and his family ate a watermelon and threw the see'ds out a window at his home. Then this summer a few watermelon vines put in their appearance just outside the window. Last week Friend Dail picked off a 30-pound wa termelon which he says was as good as any he ever ate, and he didn’t even do a lick of work about it. Then in Mamie Parker’s yard some tomato plants came up at several places and the things were full of tomatoes without receiving any attention at all. Must be a different variety than the ones in my “gar den” which, though putting out a. good crop of excellent tomatoes this year, received about as much care and attention as a new-born baby on the part of the Missus and !. * 4 Attention is called to the visit of the Red Cross bloodmobile in Edenton today (Thurs day) . The unit will be at the armory from 10 A. M., to 4 P. M„ with the county’s quota being 100 pints. The previous visit of the j bloodmobile resulted in only 57 pints of blood donated, so that Doc Archie Walker, blood program chairman, is appealing for enough volunteers to reach the county’s quota. It requires only a little time, it is not painful, the blood is very much needed in helping to save lives and donors are served refreshments after the blood is taken. j o And speaking about eating, the Edenton Rotary Club will stage a free cook-out Fri day afternoon at Sandy Point Beach. The purpose is for families of Rotarians to be come better acquainted and enjoy a brief time at the beach. Blair Gibson is engineer ing the outing and promises a good time„fpr 1 all who attend. The affair is scheduled to begin at 4 o’clock, so that it will not inter fere with anyone who plans to see the Eden ton-Roanoke football game on Hicks Field at 8 o’clock. o— Last Thursday night Red Men, their wives and members of the Degree of Pocahontas held a cook-out at Sandy Point Beach and, to say the least, hamburgers and hot dogs went away like hot cakes. It’s hard some times to figure out how much food to buy for such affairs, but the Red Men figured it out so that everybody had enough, but nary a hot dog or hamburged was.left. - o— : Although air conditioners are still in op eration, -the football season will open Friday night when Coach Jerry McGee’s Edenton Aces butt heads against the Rianoke Rapids outfit. The Aces will be a young and in experienced team to start with, but here’s hoping a large crowd of fans will turn out to look ’em over. Os course, it’s still too hot for the press box gang to have hot coffee so that if there’s no change in the weather, cold drinks will be in style. Then, too, this sort of weather should be more welcome on the part of the cheerleaders and majorettes, who are about as much a part of a football game as the boys in uniform. / already tax pleasure boats and I think it would be wrong for the Federation Govern ment to impose double taxation. If the cufrent mania to tax practically any thing and everything isn’t curbed, about all well have left in our pockets wall be hoses.
