A LIFT FOR TODAY
Awake to righteousness, and sin not. —I Cor.
15:34.
A good man is influenced by God himself, and
has a kind of divinity within him; so it may be
a question whether he goes to heaven or heaven
comes to him. —Seneca.
Our Father, give to the world a new vision o',
the uplifted Christ, dying on the cross for our
sins that we might find peace and salvation.

Girl Scout Week
This year Girl Scout Week will be observer
from March 8-14. Completing 52 years o'
service the Girl Scout organization continue,
to move ahead to meet the changing needs oi
today’s youngsters.
Girl Scout troops across the nation lasi
year were organized in four new age level:
instead of the former three. Girls begin then
Scouting experience at age 7 in the Brownie
and progress through the Juniors, Cadettes
and finally the Seniors for girls 15 through 17
From their earliest days in Brownies, a feel
ing of being needed is fostered in the youn;
members and the theme behind Scouting i.
brought alive in terms of day to day activit-ie:
and experiences—the disposition to try ant
the desire to be a worthwhile and useful per
son of service to others. Senior Girl Scout:
are encouraged to enlarge their field of inter
est to merge with the adult world. Pursuin
their goal of giving service, they may ente
aid projects in cooperation with libraries, hos
pitals, museums and other institutions.
The responsibility of keeping Girl Scout
ing alive and vital falls on the voluntar
troop leaders and local Scouting organization
in communities across the country. The Gir
Scouts of America deserve every recognition
Moderation And You
In all the commotion caused by the recen
tobacco report, many lose sight of equalh
hazardous habits practiced by many Ameri
cans.
Notably, these could include a never-endin;
list such as too much sugar, causing comas so
diabetics, or over-eating, which triggers sr
much heart disease.
And it looks as if the government may
have something to say about birth contro
pills in the future and other drugs, some of
which are too new to have been fully tested.
There are habitual coffee drinkers whc
swig ten or more cups a day. There are thosf
who think they can constantly imbide alco
holic beverages.
The general rule, with tobaccos as well a;
most other things, is not to indulge excessive
]y. Moderation can save your life in many
many ways.
We’ll Take Ours Straight
It has been estimated that Americans suf
fer about half a billion colds a year, whic!
makes for a lot of sneezing. And in the searc!
for relief we certainly must consume mor
tons of pills, tablets and liquids than th<
French eat snails.
At this time of year we open our mail al
most eagerly, hoping to find an announcemen
that medical science has at last discovered :
cure for the common cold. But such an ac
complishment, it appears, is still beyond th<
horizon.
Meantime, we must continue seeking oui
cold relief wherever we can find it. Almos
everybody has his pet remedy, as you cat
easily find out by sneezing twice. Most o
these are nonsense . . . but no self-respecting
editor would dare single out any one in par
ticular.
We read recently that the common cole
causes more economic loss in this country (ir
lest wages, production, etc.) than any other!
ailment. Something like $5 billion. Some
of this goes for the tons of pills, according
to a medical publication. We’ve always been
big on straight aspirin to treat our aches and
pains, but in recent years various combination
products, including buffered aspirin, have
come on the scene. .According to this article
buffered aspirin is no mort than plain aspirin
with a pinch or two of antacid salts. % .. . yet
H will sell for almost twice as much as top
We’ll take our aspirin straight and save the

It makes fathers and mothers very happy
and proud when their sons and daughters go
away and make good. It does also a lot of
good, too, for others to see young men who,
it seems as only yesterday, were little codgers
trudging off to school and taking part in ath
letics at school and other local activities
Such was the case Tuesday night when Leary
Bros. Storage Company staged a Smith-Doug
lass barbecue dinner which was attended by a
large group, mostly farmers. The principal
speaker was J. Clarence Leary, Jr., whc
holds a very responsible position Avith Smith
Douglass Fertilizer Company. Young Lear)
very ably spoke about farm income and way:
of increasing it, with a lot of very valuable
information at his finger-tips. In fact hi:
address seemed sort of akin to the lecture:
some of us have heard of Chautauqua pro
grams years ago. Papa and Mama Lear)
were proud of him and add yours truly a.
.mother. Then, too, the Center Hill-Cros.
Roads firemen again prepared barbecue chick
en which was just as good as young Leary’,
address.
o
Town Councilmen will not eat ice cream—
for free—at least next Tuesday night. Ant
chat’s on account of Mayir John A. Mitch
mer being out of town that night and thus
jostponing the meeting of Town Council from
Tuesday night, March 10 to Tuesday night.
March 17. But the Mayor might not save
much, for it gives the Councilmen another
full week to work up an appetite for ia
jream.
o
The Methodist Men’s Club will sponsor
mother pickled herring breakfast at the
church Saturday morning, March 7, from 7
.o 9 o’clock. Quite a few have attended these
breakfasts on account of they like picklec
nerring and for a much better reason that i
.ot of women refuse to cook ’em at home
Anyway, the boys will have ’em ready anc
ire hopeful that they will. also be able te
'erve herring roe.
o
The “Beatles” will “invade” Edenton Sat
irday afternoon at 4:15 o’clock. A group oi
young fellows will present their version of
he English Beatles at the Belk-Tyler store
.or about a 30-minute program. They wiL
perform on the main floor and the public is
cordially invited to hear ’em. The group ha:
appeared in a number of Eastern North Caro
ina towns, where they have been enthusiasti
;ally received. They call themselves “The
Four Kings”.
o
There was a lot of shaking hands at the
Court House Wednesday morning when Judge
Richardson Preyer, Democratic candidate for
Governor, spoke to a large group of support
ers. Mr. Preyer stood at the door and shook
lands with everyone who left the building.
o
And talking about shaking hands, it’s noth
ing new for W. F. Sessoms, highway engineer.
Mr. Sessoms usually turns up at the meetings
if the County Commissioners and every time
le goes around the table to shake hands with
'vervone present. He should be in good
hape if he ever decides to run for office.
However, his principal reason for attending
I he meetings is to see if he can do anything
ibout any road problems, and he naturally
ikes to be friendly.
o
With the weather warming up a bit, ap
arently the fish feel more like biting, but
ishing presents problems sometimes. For in
stance, the Missus and I tried our luck for
i while Saturday afternoon and she landed 13
ish. while all I could catch totaled two.
3illy Hardison can attest to the truth of that
statement, for Billy, fishing nearby, was able
to catch only one and was coached by the
Missus to do that. What can a fellow do in
such a case—especially when I’ve told her at
times that she doesn’t fish right?
o
Mrs. J. D. Elilott, Chowan County’s new
accountant, attended the County Commission
ers’ meeting Monday morning and was in
troduced to those who did not know her
Chairman W. E. Bond did not attend the
meeting because he was vacationing in Florida
Os course, he knows Mrs. Elliott, but she
may not recognize him when he returns with
a suntan—top of head and all.

It’s interesting news to note that Southern
Properties, Inc., purchasers of Bandon Plan
tation, have offered to give the old and his
toric. Parson Earle Schoolhouse to the Eden

course, the DAR will have to pay for At

Mrs. Pattie Fayton, chairman
of the Young Men and Women
! Club Program Committee, was
among the 48 persons frdm 13
states and the District of Co
lumbia to attend the Civic
Leadership Institute for Young
Adults. The Institute was held
at the National 4-H Center in
Washington, D. C., from Febru
ary 23-29. *
The unique program combined!
challenging speeches and group
work with visits to important
places in the Nation’s Capital.
The Institute was conducted by
the National 4-H Club Founda
tion with the Cooperative Ex
tension Service. Groups repre
sented included Rural Young
j People Organizations, Farm Bu
reau Young People, Farmers
Union, The Grange and the
Girl Scouts. Other states repre
sented besides North Carolina
were: The District of Columbia,
Illinois, lowa, Maryland, Massa
chusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey,
North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsyl
vania, West Virginia and Wis
consin.
During the week-long program

! resentative Fred Schwengel of
lowa, Charles T. Vetter of the
, U. S. Department of Agriculture,
1 and W. W. Eure, Charles Free
man and Theodore Hatchcroft

Preyer Speaks ,To
Chowan Citizens
Continued from Page 1, Section 1
present. ‘We need women in
politics,” he said, “for the quali
ties they bring”. He said North
Carolina is a great state but
that we can do even better in
way of lifting income and rais
ing the standard of living with
out paying too great a price.
He commented upon school •
dropouts and that education is
the moving force in progress.!
“The price of education is cheap-;
er than ignorance,” he said. He
pointed out that many young
people go out of the state l for a
livelihood and that every town
should be a town where young
people will want to come back]
to. I
The speaker emphasized the
importance of tourism and his
tory. “Edenton has what ap
peals to tourists,” he said as
he referred to some of the his- 1
torical shrines. He pointed out
that tourism is the third largest
business and that every effort
'should be made to take advan
tage of it.
' Mr. Preyer said he was solidly'
back of making U. S. 17 a four
lane highway from the Virginia
to South Carolina lines, and that
this project should begin im
mediately. He said it is esti
mated that 200 cars per hour
now use U. S. 17 and that with
the opening of the Chesapeake
Bay bridge-tunnel this number
is expected to soar to 500 cars]
per hour and better. He said|
i the four-laning is 275 miles long
and will cost 150 million dollars.
He said the project could be
completed without increasing
taxes. He pointed out that the
Kerr Scott road bond issue will',
be paid off in 1965 or 1966, five
years ahead of schedule and that
the source of these funds could
be used to make U. S. 17 a
four-lane highway. “It is time
to move on,” he said. He also,
said more work should be donei
on secondary roads, pointing out
that 800,000 people in the state
still live on unpaved roads.
Mr. Preyer also said help is
needed for industrial develop
ment and complimented Edenton
for its industrial park and ef
forts to secure new industry. He
commented upon lifting income
from agriculture, research to in
crease income from fishing, food
processing and sport fishing. As
to commercial fishing, he said
at present small fishermen have
practically no voice in policy
making, and if elected this
would be changed.
“We need hope, will and cour
age to tackle our problems,” he
said in closing.
