A LIFT FOR TODAY I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living Psalms 27:13. Trials and temptations may come, but if we have faith to let God have his way with us, he will provide away of escape. Then again we shall sense his goodness and forgiveness. We pray, O God, that we may trust Thee in imtk days as well as in days of sunshine, confi de of victory through Thy Power and Mercy. Good Slice Os Publicity Edenton received a nice slice of publicity Wednesday, October 31, when the Virginian- Pilot printed a full page containing a picture of the town taken from Edenton Bay. To gether with the picture was a map of the northeastern part of the state, as well as spe cific information about Edenton. Over J 2.0,000 subscribers from as far north as the Eastern Shore of Maryland, throughout Tide water, Virginia and North Carolina had the opportunity to see the message, i The picture presented a beautiful view of pie town and countryside, as well as in for matiton as to population, city government, transportation, communications, industry, na tural resources, schools and hospitals. “Recognition of past honor is not a pre occupation with Edentonians,” is part of the reading matter. “The town now, as always, plays a major role in matters concerning the Albemarle and the land. The business at hand is progress, and leadership within the community is concerned with providing more jobs for more people.” The page should bring favorable attention and publicity to Edenton, which for too long Jjas hid its light under a bushel. Be X-rayed! Plans are now being made for a visit in Edenton of a mobile X-ray unit, which will spend four days taking free chest X-rays. The unit will be located in front of the Betty Shoppe on Broad Street Saturday, November 24; Tuesday, November 27; Wednesday, No vember 28 and Thursday, November 29, and will be in operation from 11 A. M., to 5 P. M. each day. Though tuberculosis is not as geneeral as it formerly was, it still is a problem even in Chowan County, where the rate is above the rite for North Carolina as a whole. Combatting tuberculosis depends to a great degree in detecting the disease in its early stages, when it is easier to effect a cure. So there is little reason why every person in Cho- Wan County over IS years of age should not be X-rayed during the unit’s stay in Edenton. The X-ray is free, it is unnecessary to un dress, it is absolutely painless and requires only a few minutes of one’s time. The schedule as arranged should provide convenient time to visit the unit. Tubeerculosis is no respector of persons and many times a person is diseased but it comes to light far too late to require a more simple cure. It, therefore, should behoove every per son in Chowan County over IS wears of age to be X-rayed during the Edenton clinic. To be X-rayed it will be determined if tuberculo sis is present and if it is, a cure will be far easier. It is really worthwhile to take ad vantage of this free service and be X-rayed. What’s Happened To Time? What has the jet age of international air travel done to time? Answer: As a practical matter, it has all but eliminated it as a travel problem. A news release from Pan American World Airways provides a dramatic example. Pas- Senders on one of its July flights were able to celebrate our Independence Day in far-flung parts of the world. Here’s the way the story went: The speed ing jet plane was in New Delhi, Bangkok, and Tokyo at one time of day or another on the Fourth of July. Then it cross ed the International Date Line, which sets time back. So it was also in both Honolulu | and San Francisco on the 4th! The jet plane has shrunk the world. Now ! the hope is that, by stimulating the kind of | travel that will bring a better understanding between peoples, it will play its part in ulti mately helping bring the world real peace and ... ...... . So far as the history of journalism is con- hleard Os Seen | B ? Bu fl fj Postmaster Jim Chestnutt, while in Pitts burgh last week attending the national post masters’ convention, learned that there was another Edenton in existence. Jim and his wife met up with Mrs. Martha Cramer from Edenton, Ohio. She told them that a group from our own Edenton some years ago settled in a small community about 20 miles from Cincinnati and decided to name the place Edenton. It was news to Jim, for he was under the impression that there was only one Edenton on the map, and he didn’t have time enough to learn who comprised the group from here to settle in Ohio. That, too, is a piece of history which apparently is not known by Edenton, N. C. people. o Chowan County’s Commissioners keep their eyes open to save money whenever they can, but they missed an opportunity Monday to make a little money. It so happened that I wanted to wear a cap on my recent trip to New York, but couldn’t find the thing high or low around the house and The Herald office, so while in New York I bought one. When the County Commissioners adjourned Mon day morning Chairman Winks Bond happened to see a cap hanging in the court room and asked if anyone knew who it belonged to. I at once recognized the cap. Where the Com missioners miscued was that they didn’t charge me a little storage for the thing, for it was in the Court House since their previous meeting—no wonder I couldn’t find the bloomin’ cap. o Little Bill Chesson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Chesson, Jr., is no respector of per sons and maybe he got in dutch at home for it. Bill, a grandson of Sheriff Earl Goodwin, was brought in the Court House Monday to pick 50 names from the jury box to serve as jurymen at the November term of Superior Court. Among the names he picked from the box was that of his daddy, who will be sum moned to appear at the court term as a juror. Not everybody likes to serve on juries, but it is a very important duty which everyone drawn owes to his county. o In this issue of The Herald is an account of the death of Mrs. Jennie B. Wilkins, who died Thursday night. In the article the name is spelled “Teenie,” which should have been “Pennie.” Another error is the statement that she lived in Rocky Hock for 40 years. This was an error in that she lived in Chowan County 40 years, not all of which was in Rocky Hock. Then the survivors mentioned four grandchildren when this should have been five. It is impossible to pin point the error, but I’m very sorry the errors appear in the story on page 1, section 2. o Maybe it is not generally known, but The Herald does not print proclamations by the Mayor setting aside “Week” observances. The reason is obvious, for to print one would mean that we’d have one, two and sometimes three proclamations each week. In fact, it’s not enough weeks in the year to take care of all the “Weeks.” I’ve had no proclamation sent in, but November 4-10 is being observed as International Cat Week. It is said that as pets, household cats are second in number only to dogs and that cats have made a unique contribution to civilization, especially byway of killing mice and rats. Be that as it may, sometimes 1 think cat week is being observed in my neighborhood about every other week— and they’re not fighting mice or rats either. o Miss Hulda Wood and Mrs. Opal Wood, nurses at the local Health Department, were guests at last week’s Rotary meeting and a splendid program was presented having to do with tuberculosis. Prior to the program Jim Wood told the ladies that years ago tubercu losis was known as “consumption”, which re minded him of an incident in the peanut busi ness. He said he had received some bags of peanuts on which was printed “For Human Consumption.” A colored man trucking the peanuts noticed the wording and said, “Mr. Wood, that’s the first time I knew that pea nuts were good for consumption.” o Despite inclement weather, a large crowd of youngsters and adults turned out for the Halloween party Thursday night. Even if the weather was bad, the kiddies had a big time parading and rambling around the play ground to get free refreshments and enter tainment. However, the whole affair wasn’t so pleasant for Izzy Campen’s pet dog “Han sy”. The dbg was cooped up in a pen and even if he won the float first prize, he was whining at the playground and would much rather have gotten away from it all. What the dog really wanted was to be up on the platform beside Izzy who sat on the throne as “King of Fun”. Anyway, the Woman’s Club deserves a vote of thanks for their efforts in -. HULLO.

Health And 1 Safety Tips From Tbs American Medical Association There are strong indications that an epidemic of Asian flu will occur in the United States in the winter of 1962-63. A large number of cases of the disease appeared in Asia last January and has been slowly making its way around the globe. Just how serious the outbreak will be no onh can predict. But at any rate we are well braced. Physicians have been alerted, public health programs outlined and stocks of anti-influenza vac- 1 cine built up. In fact, because of the vaccine, American Medi cal Association leaders think the disease may not be as wide spread or devastating this winter as the epidemic of 1957-58.

A■> B ■ I ■■ I■ WA me IIMMIyIIMA m AT mm j| Imm A wjfUiiiii riiriiiiurt; ui KUwiiioii iviCa Asian flu means four or five days of weakness and misery, just like any other type of flu. But in older people and those with certain chronic disease the flu virus can be deadly. In the five years since Asian flu first appeared in America it has con tributed to the deaths of 90,000 Americans. The flu itself usual ly is not a killer but it weakens the body’s defenses against oth er diseases. Those with diabetes and with chronic heart, circulatory and kidney diseases are particularly vulnerable. More than half the deaths in previous epidemics were in people with these con ditions. Pneumonia also moves in on the heels of influenza fre quently. Those with pulmonary tuber culosis, chronic asthma, chronic bronchitis and other ailments of the lungs and air passages also are particularly endangered by Asian flu. There is no cure for Asian flu once the disease takes hold. But it can be prevented in many in stances by the flu vaccine. Ev eryone over the age of 45 years needs the vaccine, and particu larly it is important to those past 65 years. It’s not safe to depend on vac cine shots from past years and previous cases of the disease do not confer immunity. If you and your family haven’t had your flu shots, see your doctor i right away and start the im munization procedure. What has become of the old fashioned lad who used to keep the family car clean? Military Maneuver sls A personnel clerk at Fort Baker received a document in the ordinary course of business, initialed it, passed it on to the officer for whom it was intend ed, and promptl ygot it back with his note attached, “This?! document did not concern you.
