A LIFT FOR TODAY The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.—l John 1:7. Christ’s promise is to all men everywhere. If We seek him, we find him and know that he is the Supreme Reality of life. Almighty God, may the day soon come when Thy Beloved Son shall become the most real person in existence, reigning in the heart of mankind. I ~ ~~ Severe Loss Edenton and the medicai profession in par- ( ticular have lost a very valuable citizen and | surgeon in the passing Saturday of Dr. Frank Wood. His reputation as a surgeon was well ty and his loss as a citizen causes a void ty and his loss as a citizen canses a void which will be hard to fill, i He devoted the major portion of his life to alleviation of suffering among human be ings and, without doubt, many people owe an extension on the lease of life to his knowl edge of anatomy and skill in the use of op erating instruments. Dr. Wood was very much interested in his vast number of patients and many times went far beyond the call of duty to bring relief and comfort to those who were under his care. He devoted his life in combatting human ills, and it is a bit of irony that in his own con dition he was unable to render the same re lief to himself that he so unselfishly did for others. Dr. Wood was the first surgeon when the Chowan Hospital came into being and due to his interest and ability, much of the hospi tal’s success can rightly be attributed to him. The Herald joins in extending to the fami ly and host of friends its sympathy in the passing of a very valuable citizen. “Cooperation” Again! Two groups have spent a great deal of time, energy and effort in the interest of mak ing Edenton a safer, healthier and happier place to live. These two groups are officials of the Dis trict Health Department and State Board of | Health. Both groups appeared at the meeting of Town Council 1 Tuesday night with recom mendations, which, if carried out at least for the most part, will go a long way to make traffic safer and correction of sanitation de ficiencies. Representatives of the District Health De partment and State Board of Health sub mitted a report of an environmental sanita tion survey and proposed plan for correction of sanitation deficiencies which was made May 18-21. This report points out many de ficiencies as to housing, water supply, sewage disposal, refuse sanitation, accumulation of rubble, unstacked lumber and artificial con tainers and mosquito control. For the most part, recommendations to correct existing conditions as pointed out can be accomplished without a great deal of ex pense. And with the active support and co operation of the town, together with the citi zens of Edenton. the plan can be carried out. which would add not only to the attractive ness of the town but would go a long way to curtail the annoyance of insects and ro dents. The plan and recommendations pro vide an excellent project to be undertaken by various groups in Edenton and Mayor John Mitchener informed the health officials Tues day night -that Town Council was very much j interested in carrying out the recommenda tions and that he hoped some of the organi zations in Edenton would adopt some of them as a project. Then, too, many of the recommendations can be complied with by citizens themselves. The full report of the survey and recommen dations can be seen at the Town Office, so that if any citizen or group will cooperate or adopt a project, the information is readily available. . /The Jaycees also presented a report on a recent survey of traffic signs in Edenton. This, too, was quite an undertaking and the Jaycees are to be commended for being one of three dubs in North Carolina to complete the survey, which is a statewide project. In their report it was pointed out that 291 signs were checked and that of this number i duly 65 could be classed as being in good con . 4ition. Some are too low to the ground, some bent and quite a few need painting. To put these signs in first cfess shape k' IfJeard & Seen By Buff «■» i MM I Fourth of July was a very delightful occas ion for one of Edenton’s grand old ladies. On that day Mrs. B. F. Francis celebrated her 95th birthday. There was no celebra tion, but Mrs. Francis had as her guests for the occasion her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Don Francis of Queen’s Village, Long Island, New York; Mr. and Mrs. Fred die Cast, also of Long Island and three of her grandchildren from Connecticut. The Herald joins Mrs. Francis many friends in the hope that she will have many more birth v day celebrations as the one she had Thurs day of last week. o Another very happy person on Monday of this week was the wife of ye editor. The Missus has had her arm in a cast for about six weeks and on Monday Doc Hardin yank ed the stuff off. She sort of felt like a bird out of a cage, but soon discovered that she must sort of learn all over again how to use her fingers and wrist —and was warned to be | careful how she uses them.. o I should charge at least one subscriber to The Herald a little more for her subscription. The other day she was asked if she had read a certain story in The Herald. “No,’ - she said, “I always take it along to bed with me, for reading it puts me to sleep.” An extra charge should be made for a “sleeping pill”. o Well, another Fourth of July has passed and according to the boats on the water here about and the number of fishermen out for the day, it might be well to change the name of the holiday from National 1 Independence Day to National Fishing Day. However, from most reports I’ve had about fish caught maybe it would be better to call it National Boating Day. o And speaking about the Fourth of July, there was ringing of a few bells in Edenton. even if not for long. About the longest ring ing was in my back yard, where I swung around an antique school bell which belongs to the Missus. Anyway, it was a sane and safe way to celebrate the Fourth. Going back to the early American manner of cele brating Independence Day, “Let Freedom Ring” project has gained remarkable momen tum in a short time. The plan was started in February of this year by two Connecticut Yankee writers, Eric Sloane and Eric Hatch. The Committee of Erics, as the two founders I are sometimes called, took their inspiration partly from what John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail on the famed July 4 of 1776. He said the day should be “solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games . . . bells from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore.” Anyway, it is far better to celebrate the birthday of this nation with bells than fire crackers. o An inquiry from a Herald subscriber in Richmond. Indiana, DeWitt C. Cooper, is as follows: “Do you know whether that film that was made in Edenton giving the high lights of its history is still floating around? I never did get to see it as I am of the opin ion that it has not been shown up this way.” Then Mr. Cooper further says: “I see that you are still active enough to get your name mentioned about once a week in the Herald, which is all to the good. Don’t let the reporters overlook you.” But what re porters? O Another letter was received from Mrs. Glenn Hamilton, who lives in Eureka, Cali fornia. In the letter containing her renewal to The Herald Mrs. Hamilton said, in part: “Thank you so much for continuing to send the paper. It is all I have to keep in touch with my dear )old home town. T don’t know any of the names or streets hardly any more , but do love to read what is going on there. I have been gone for 17 years now.” . o The weather here about took a sudden change early this week, so that it almost tempted a fellow to take a glance at the long jeans, now stored away for the summer. But we’ll be having more of the sweat variety of weather, when we can forget about the oil bills. vould, of course, tend to make driving safer, o that the Jaycees are to be commended for heir interest in public safety. The report was presented so that Council ■nen would be informed of the condition of signs and it will, to be sure, spur authorities to remedy the situation. Both reports again bring to mind that oft- IT&D€At£(i WOrCl COOD6r2ItMM)« ’ THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. JULY 11. 1963.

The project was planned and the proposed works of improve ment are to be carried out with technical assistance from the Soil Conservation Service under the authority of Watershed Protec tion and Flood Prevention Act. It is for the purpose of reducing flooding of low-lying crop and pasture land and installing ade quate drainage outlets suffici ently close to individual farms so that farmers can provide addi tional needed on-farm and small group drainage facilities at their own expense with the assistance of other available programs.
