A LIFT FOR TODAY
. . Lead me in'the way everlasting. Psalms
-139:24.
Faith fixed in God’s goodness and power will
destroy fear and doubt. God will lead us if we
trust him, for there is no security for us apart
from Him.
Give us faith, O God, to recognise Thy pres
ence and sustain us with Thy strength when we
call upon thee in true humility and belief.
Volunteers Needed
Attention is called to a story on the front
r ige of this issue of The Herald relative to
U’e need of volunteer workers for Edenton’s
Girl Scouts.
The Girl Scouts is a great voluntary or
j .nization providing Scouting opportunities
to two and two-thirds million girl members.
Three-fourths of a million adult members give
of their time and abilities to enable girls to
have this worthwhile experience. Only one
fourth of one percent are professional work
' ers.
During the 51 years of Girl Scouting, the
organization has been vital and alert to the
needs of local and national communities of
the world.
The Edenton Girl Scouts are sponsored by
the Edenton Woman's Club and are now part
of the Virginia Tri-County Girl Scout Council.
The Council will provide, training and direc
tion for the local troops.
However, local persons must provide the
leadership here. Workers are very much
needed to insure the continuance of the local
program. Leaders and assistant leaders ape
especially needed as well as workers in other
capacities'
About 90 girls are expected to participate
in the local program for the coming year.
There will be a Brownie Troop for the second
and third grades, two junior Girl Scout troops
for fourth through sixth grades and one troop
for Cadettes for grades seven through nine.
'Contributing of your time'and efforts to
this worthwhile cause will not only provide
personal satisfaction but will have a perma
nent influence in making this a better com
munity for future generations.
Anyone interested in sharing in this great
progam is asked to contact the chairman.
Mrs. J. P. Ricks, Jr.
Worthy Os Note
It is interesting to note the progress made
by the Pettigrew Regional Library for the
fiscal vear ending June 30, as prepared by
Mrs. Robert Campbell, chairman of the board
of directors. •
Though real progress has been made dur
ing the past year, there are many goals vet
to be reached, according to Mrs. Campbell.
With the exception of two and one-half
months the regional library has had no di
rector. Now, however, a new director, Mrs.
Rebecca Scoggin, is scheduled to take over
the duties on September 9. With continued
cooperation and with equal interest for the
best library service in each of the -three coun
ties in the Pettigrew Region, it is reasonable
to expect progress to continue, so that even
more books will be read and a larger num
ber of the citizens in Chowan, Tyrrell and
Washington counties to receive library service.
It should be a source of pride to library of
ficials that during the fiscal year 160,310
books were .circulated by the library. This
was an increase of books- over the previ
ous year. This record was made'possible “by
the untiring efforts of an efficient staff, a
loyal regional board, aid from city and coun
ty officials, newspaper editors, radio mana
gers, the State Library and many friends in
the Pettigrew region. Afl of the above are
aware that a reading public is a well inform
ed public and with the services of an ex
perienced director look forward to continued
service and success of the library. ,

Earl Smith and the weather man apparently
are not on good terms. Earl had his annual
fish fry at his store in the Rocky Hock sec
tion Tuesday night and, as was the case the
last few years, the weather man sent down a
goodly amount of rain. But despite hell and
high water, Earl went through with the fish
fry —and a very good one it was. Glancing
at the crowd which gathered one sort of got
the idea that abqut half of the county’s popu
lation turned out to fill up on fish, slaw, corn
bread, iced tea and even a cookie for des
l sert. Due to the inclement weather, the
crowd was obliged to go through the store to
be served and eat wherever room could be
found. Every available space in the store
was used and many ate in automobiles. Mr.
and Mrs. Johnnie Curran and Mr. and Mrs.
George Hoskins managed to rig up a “table”
on top of a string of grocery carts. Some
squatted down on the floor to eat but Wil'mer
Malone spied a vacant space on a shelf about
six feet high, which he used as a “table”.
Earl’s store was completely packed for an
hour or more, so that anybody who might have
wanted to hurriedly buy a loaf of bread or
some other item would have been out of luck.
Yep, Earl had ’em packed in his store for a
spell, but I didn’t hear tljie cash register ring
a single time. As usual, it was a very good
fish fry and one to which a' host of Earl’s
friends look forward to with a great deal of
pleasure each year about this time. At most
fish frys in the county Paul Ober has his
hand in frying fish, but Tuesday night he was
only a “spectator”—and eater.
F. F. Tanner, who lives at Charles City,
Va.. was among those who sent in renewals
for The Herald. In a brief note Friend Tan
ner wrote: “Dear Busf —Just a note along
with check to say hello, trust that everything
is well with all of you. My wife has been
after me for some time to send money to
have paper subscription renewed before we
were cut off. As you know, she is an Eden
tonian and looks forward in receiving the
paper each week, of course, I have to look it
over, too. J can recall many happy hours
that I had while living p in Edentou with you
good people. By’ the way, I wps through
Edenton about two weeks ago and my good
friend West Leary, as usual, gave me a nice
watermelon. Hope that old Pembroke Creek
will have some nice crappie in it this fall, as
1 want to get down that way Jor a few days
of good fishing. So tell them to be getting
fat and wait until fall to bite at minnows on
a hook”.
I °
The gang at the Post Office is called upon
f to do any number of things, but they are not
l in the parking business. Th6 other day some
* body put in a mail box an Edenton parking
ticket —maybe because the mail box is paint
jed partly red. And then, maybe the party
concerned didn’t know where in the devil the
little red parking ticket boxes are located.
o i
Women apparently like to be complimented
upon the clothes they are wearing, but one
such compliment the other day was not so
complimentary so far as the one to which the
remark was directed. The remark went some
| thing like this: “My goodness, that dress
looks so good on you especially for as many
years you have worn it.”
o
Speaking about the boys at the Post Office,
a marked change has taken place so far as
one of the gang is concerned. Bill Sexton
didn’t care so much about the crop of gray
hair on his head, so he had the whole top
of his dome dyed black. He created a good
deal of excitement the first day he turned up
with his new “hair-do” and was the target for
a lot of kidding. Nathan Owens, however, re
frained from saying anything about it, for
Nathan doesn’t even have enough hair on his
head to have it dyed.

Chowan Ruritan Club is sponsoring a bene
fit barbecue chicken supper at the Center
, Hill-Cross Roads Fire Department Satur
day night, August 17. The sapper will be
served from 5:30 to 7:30 o’clock and the
proceeds will go to Luther Bateman, Jr.
Ruritans are hopejul that a large crowd will
tarn out in order to get a good meal and at
the same time help a very worthy cause. The
upper Chowan County firemen know the art
of barhecuing chicken, so that here’s one who
can recommend a good meal— even if a fel
low has to park, about mi way to Center
. Hill.

‘Operation Flagpole’
Roy L. Collins, yeoman sea
man, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. H. Collins of Edenton is
serving aboard the amphibious
force flagship USS ESTES, a
Seventh Fleet unit, which re
cently participated in a joint
U. S-Republic, of Korea am
phibious exercise dubbed “Op
eration Flagpole” and conducted
near Seoul, Korea.
The training exercise involved
67 ships plus numerous Marine
air and ground units of both na
tions.
“Flagpole” is similar to other
operations periodically conducted
by Seventh Fleet units with
armed forces of Far Eastern
countries to improve proficiency
in amphibious maneuvers. It is
aimed alsq at maintaining close
working relationships between
allied nations.
The ESTES normally operates
out of San Diego, Calif.

Washington—Foreign aid hear
ings, the condition of the Fed
eral Treasury, and the tax pro
gram came back into sharp fo
cus in Congressional activity last
week. Earlier in the session
these were the top issues. Again
they have emerged in the Presi
dent’s special message on the
“balance of payments” crisis,
and hearings being conducted on
foreign aid, the tax program,
and the extension of the > $309
billion national debt ceiling.
The House Ways and Means
Committee has been marking up
a tax measure which may go
before the House for its action
before Labor Day. If the House
does act affirmatively on the
tax bill by September 1, the
Senate Finance Committee will
begin its hearings to consider
such legislation. Any tax leg
islation on the Senate Floor still
appears to be several months
away.
Debate on the national debt
ceiling may be postponed until
fall when a clearer Congression-
: ujj -
<jgf
L t^* w *<n iQH Jv
: L-.•
1 iiMTr irra aim
al picture will have emerged on
both appropriations and propos
ed revenues. Last week the
House Ways and Means Com
mitt voted to extend the present
temporary $309 'billion national
debt ceiling to November 30.
The seriousness of the “bal
ance of payments” deficit for
our country is outlined in the
President’3 special message to
Congress of July 28. The term
“balance of payments* Reflects
our U. S. international banking
dollar balance of trade receipts
and expenditures. Over the
years since World War II the
trade for the United
States has turned from rosy to
gray. This unhealthy “balance
of payments” condition brought
the Presidential message to Con
gress. I am gratified that the
President proposed a number of
needful remedies to curb our
dollar outflow. However, it
seems to me that one significant
remedy ought - to be used to a
much greater extent than the
message offered. I refer to our
foreign aid payments which
represent a continuing drain on
our dollar resources.
Last week the House Foreign
Affairs Committee marked up
tentatively the 1964 foreign aid
authorization bill at $4.1 billion.
The bill is still under consider
ation by the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee. Since our
foreign aid commitments have
over a period of years contribut
ed in large measure to our “bal
ance of payments” deficits, it
would seem appropriate that any
realistic remedy for the situation
should begin with one of its
major causes. We ought to ad
dress ourselves toward an hon
est answer to the ruestion of
whether the U. S. Treasury and
our Federal monetary system
can continue to carry too heavy
a burden with respect to our
foreign aid expenditures.
Witnesses, who are admitted
to be experts in the field l of
economics, come time after time
before Congressional committees
dealing with the financial trou
bles of the Federal government
and express the opinion that our
Federal Treasury is attempting
to carry too heavy a burden for
its tax revenues. Year after
year I have stated that in my
honest judgment we are unwise
to imperil the monetary system
of our nation with burdens in
the foreign aid field that are
beyond the limitations which
the dollar can bear.
I do not believe that the
problem which is now admitted
ly serious can be solved without
drastic cuts in foreign aid. Con
gress and the . nation ought to
recognize, the problem which has
been spelled out by the Admini
stration. The dollar is imperiled
by a growing danger from con
tinuing trade deficits. The facts
ought to be recognized for what
they are, and the nation ought
to no longer ignore the need for
realistic cuts in our foreign aid
program.
