Be sure your sins will find you out. — Numbers 32:23. Sure paymaster is God; He may not pay at the end oi every week, or month, or year, but remember that He pays in the end. —Anne of Austria. Almighty One, teach us resistance to tempta tion and the will to overcome evil with good. Well Pleased Another important step toward the ultimate construction of a sewage disposal system for materialized Tuesday when bonds v re sold in Raleigh which assures the neces ; :y financial outlay. The $370,000 bonds sold is part of a $543.- V 0 issue approved by Edenton voters in an t’r:tion held in 1961 foi a sewage treatment plant. Edenton has been assured $326,000 in f ’.leral funds byway of the accelerated pub lic works program. Bids for the project f :rount to $617,507. so that work is expected to be started early in January. In Raleigh Tuesday to sign the bonds were Mayor John Mitchener and Town Clerk W. B. Gardner, both of whom were delighted with the eagerness on the part of purchasers as well as the favorable rate of interest. The bonds, with maturities averaging about 10 years were sold at an interest rate of 2.9523 per cent. They were sold through Goodbody & Company of Charlotte, and shar ing in the purchase were Fox. Reush & Com pany of Cincinnati. Ohio, and Homer, Backs dale & Company of Lynchburg, Ya. Mayor Mitchener expressed his opinion that the ready sale and favorable interest rate was greatly influenced by progress in Edenton, operation and management of local govern ment and, of Course, the healthy financial statement. The First Christmas Seal Just before Christmas in 1907. Emily Bis sell, a Red Cross volunteer, was casting about for some way to raise S3OO. Her cousin, a doctor, had asked her to help raise the money to complete the treatment of eight patients with tuberculosis. Then Miss BLssell read an article by Jacob Riis, Danish-An.erican writer and philanthropist. Mr. Riis had received on his mail from Denmark a Christmas Seal sold there to help support a hospital for tubercu losis children. He suggested that the same thing be done here. Emily Bissell persuaded a printer to turn out some seals. They were put on sale for a penny apiece, but they didn’t sell. Wanting some publicity for* her Christmas Seals, she went to the editor of a Philadelphia news paper, the North American, asking him to run a story about the Seals. The editor refused. Christmas was no time to remind people aboul tuberculosis, then the leading cause of death in the United States. On her way out of the newspaper building Miss Bissell stopped to talk to Leigh Hodges, a columnist for the paper. She told her story to Mr. Hodges, who took some seals from her and went to talk to the editor. Next day the front page of the North American ap peared completely encircled by Miss Bissell's Christmas Seals. Result—proceeds of $3,000 instead of the S3OO Miss Bissell had sought. Christmas Seals are now as much a part of the Christmas scene as Christmas trees, rein deer, and Santa Claus. Christmas Seal funds help to find people ill with TB, to provide some of the necessary services for TB pa tients, to encourage legislation needed for strengthening public health agencies, to pro mote the health of the entire community. You have received Christmas Seals in the mails. Mail your contribution today to your Chowan County TB Association. Diets And Nonsense A great deal of nonsense has been making the rounds concerning diet. And it is dang erous nonsense, too. The faddists say, for example, that we should avoid meat or some other primary food. This, in the vast majority of cases, is totally at variance with what nutritional au thorities have learned through research and experiment oyer a great many years. For in ,'tance, the American Medical Association P9h*ts out that there are four basics to a nu tritionally balanced meal. These are milk and daiwifffoducts; vegetables and fruits; meat, or eggs; bread and cereals. The point Ls a simple one. Don’t unwit- starve yourself to death — which is what I \bleard & Seen I By Buff With new postal rates scheduled to go in to effect the first of the year, an interesting article on 15 ways to lick higher postage recently appeared in the Virginian-Pilot. The article, written by Elmer Roessner, follows; 1. —Review mailing lists, eliminating duplica tions, addressees that have moved or become dormant. (I receive as many as five identical mailings from companies that should know bet ter). Postmasters will help you check your lists. Certain legends on your envelopes will bring reports on deliver.ability. Ask your post master, 2. —ln buying lists for direct mail solicita tions, insist on guarantees of accuracy. 3. Make sure your shipping department sends mail at the cheapest rates. Sending third class mail at parcel post rates can be costly. 4. —Use postcards instead of letters to ac knowledge receipt of orders, merchandise, etc. The bigger savings here will be in typists’ time and stationery. 5. —Use first class mail instead of air mail Thursdays and Fridays when writing to firms within 1,500 miles. Delivery will be Monday in either case. 6. —Don’t use air mail to .nearby points. Air mail between New York and Washington, for instance, is as slow as, or slower than, first class. 7. —Eliminate unnecessary correspondence, such as acknowledgments of acknowledgments, infor mational carbon copies to branches when not needed, etc. 8. —Crack down on employes who use stamps or postage meters for personal mail, (The rise in rates will increase temptation). 9. —ls you suspect pilferage of stamps, consider postage meters. 10. —ls you mail small items of merchandise, determine if a change in packaging can save postage. A 17-ounce parcel costs as much as a 32-ounce parcel. One company, making daily mailings to customers, slashed postage costs by sending six 16-ounce packages a week instead of five 19-cunce packages. Lighter cartons, cardboard and packing may more than pay for themselves. 11. —Ask your postmaster for a copy of regu lations governing educational materials and make sure you are taking advantage of this low rate whenever possible. 12. —Re-examine your entire mailing operation. Dropping one unnecessary clerk may more than offset the postage increase. 13. —Consider having a lettershop or other out side organization handle your mailing. But first, of course, find out exactly what your current costs (including payroll taxes, etc.) amount to. 14. —A 10-cent phone call will cost only five cents more, instead of six cents, than a letter. And many business rates are under 10 cents a call. Whenever a phone call can be five cents more effective than a letter, phone. Sometimes a phone call can be SI,OOO more effective than a letter. 15. —Make your sales letters and advertising mailings more effective. Test them to make suje. When promotional material makes sales, postage doesn’t cost —it pays! The effect of the new rates on promotional mailings will be interesting to watch. There will be less competition in numbers, because weak operations can’t survive at the higher rates. But there will be more competition in quality, because every mail vendor will .try to pack mere sell into each mailing. The 15 suggestions are worth considering, but about the best way to lick postage is to chew a lot of chewing gum to produce more saliva in order to wet the stamps —we ll pay the bill any way you go about it. o Jimmy Ricks, Jr., has been in Veterans Hospital at Durham and on a postcard he asked me to thank the many wonderful peo ple in Edenton who have been so nice in send ing him cards and notes while he was in the hospital. “It’s so nice to be remembered,” said Jimmy. “If I’m lucky I’ll be back with you next week-end. One operation down and two to go —Then maybe I’ll be hearing better.” Here’s one who hopes Jimmy will soon be back and in first class shape. This is not exactly the snake season, but West Lear-- a<*racted a number of people in front of The Herald office Tuesday after noon. West had in the back of his car two large Bl’T DEAD rattlesnakes. It was while breaking new ground on the Leary Brothers farm at Oak Ridge last week that the snakes were uncovered. West said one was male-and the other female, but he broke up that family in short order, even though one of ’em was quite frisky. o Here’s one who had an opportunity to be taken on a tour of the Norfolk Navy Yard while visiting in Portsmouth over the week end. The place is far more massive than any idea I might have had before seeing it. And after seeing various kinds of fighting equip ment, including a Polaris submarine, I feel that old man Khrushchev would have more on his hands than he wanted if he got tangled up with Uncle Sam. o According to reports, many parts of the na tion are battling snow and very cold weather. The weatherman sent a few scattered flakes' in Edenton the other day and missed several good chances since. However, with the mer cury hovering below the freezing mark, here's one who will be very well satisfied if the snow THE CHOWAH RESALE, EBEHTOH. KGRTB CARDURA. IHVRUIAT, DECEMBER IJ.
