A LIFT FOR TODAY
This is your hour.—Luke 22:53.
Liberal in all his other gifts, God shows us,
bv wise economy of his providence, how cir
cumspect we ought to be in management of our
time, chrysalis of eternity.—Fenelon.
Eternal God, impress upon us the value of lime
and forgive us for wasted hours.
A Priceless Possession
People have different religious beliefs and
worship according to their conscience without
interference from the government and its of
ficials.
Freedom of religious worship is one of the
rights guaranteed by our form of government.
Those who enjoy the blessing that it affords
should be scrupulous in respecting the beliefs
of those with whom they do not agree. There
is no other way to uphold and maintain re
ligious freedom.
Religion in the United States suffers no
threat of dictatorship. Its worst enemy, so
far as we can see, is the failure of individuals
to put into practice the principles of the re
ligion that they profess. It is idle to prate
about religious convictions that are not ex
pressed in personality as it mingles with
human beings in daily activities.
Frankly, the editor of this newspaper never
worries about religion that other people pre
fer. We trust that no one worries about our
beliefs. The common task that confronts all
men and women of every religious persuasion
is to make their personal contribution in life
so as to serve other people.
Instead of disputing about non-essentials
we might follow the example of the great
teacher who went about doing good. Life pre
sents many pitfalls into which human beings
plunge and it is up to all of us to avoid them
as best as we can. When, unfortunately
some brother or sister stumbles, there is an
opportunity for all of us to be helpful, if we
are so minded.
Bikes In Bloom
Right behind the first crocus, the door-to
door seed salesman, Junior’s first crush and
other sure signs of spring, will come an army
of 55 million bicyclists. For the ever-growing
two-wheel set, spring is their time. Away
hockey sticks and sleds, away boots, skis and
galoshes, and out with the faithful two-wheel
ers.
Spring biking gets an added boost this year
in the person of the youngest of the young-in
heart, Dr. Paul Dudley White. As national
chairwan of American Bike Month this May.
Dr. White is calling for all America to join
him. He says, “The bicycle can undoubtedly
add years to life, and health to those years
Some of the happiest hours of my life have
been spent on a bike. It has kept me young
in mind and body.” It will do the same for
you.
American Bike Month is sponsored annual
ly by the domestic bicycle industry in a major
effort to assure safer, happier riders. They
accomplish this by offering free bike inspec
tions at bike stores all over America, by of
fering free booklets on the fun of safe cycl
ing and by cooperating with PTA's and other
civic and service organizations in conducting
bike safety programs.
Dr. White has joined the campaign this
May because he believes in its merit. He be
lieves it is worthwhile. He also believes, as
he has said so often, “Cycling is one of the
best ways to achieve and maintain physical
fitness.’”
Throughout -May, Dr. White will be cam
paigning for more cyqling for fun and good
health by people of all ages, and for increased
cycling facilities—more bike paths and trails
in parks and recration areas, more bike tracks,
more safe cycling routes in our town and
cities —more opportunity for America’s legions
of riders to enjoy their health giving sport in
safety and pleasure.
The whole nation, we think, not just bike
riders and their parents, should salute Dr.
White for his unselfish dedication to the
health and happiness of others. And wouldn’t
American Bike Month be a good time for us
to look around oor own town, survey Our own
facilities and see what we can do to make our
own area a safer and happier place for our

An interesting visitor in Edenton Tuesday
afternoon was H. Clifton Blue of Aberdeen.
Mr. Blue, a fellow weekly newspaper publish
er, is a candidate for lieutenant-governor and
met quite a few Edenton voters during his
brief stay here. He was introduced to a num
ber of people who had not met him before,
among whom was Tom Willoughby. “I’m
very glad to meet you,” said Tom. “I have
known Whites, Blacks, Grays and Browns, but
this is the first time I’ve had the pleasure of
meeting a Blue. I hope you will be the next
lieutenant-governor”. Mr. Blue was very
favorably impressed with Edenton and here’s
one who told him that if he’s elected to the
office he seeks, we want all the help we can
get to four-lane U. S. 17.
o
Another interesting group in Edenton Tues
day was Mitchell F. Allen, Jr., president of
the First National Bank of Eastern North
Carolina from Jacksonville, N. C., and sev
eral of the bank’s officials. Mr. Allen is in
terested in locating a branch bank in Edenton
and said if the people of Edenton and Chowan
County want it, there is little reason to be
lieve that it will not be realized. Mr. Allen,
too, was very much impressed with Edenton.
o
That a lot of people are concerned about
their eyesight (which is as it should be) is
reflected in the fact that up to noon Wednes
day approximately 500 people attended the
glaucoma clinic held at the Edenton armory
The clinic is sponsored by Lions Clubs in
Edenton, Hertford and Windsor.
o
Just a week or so ago I had a letter from
Josiah Elliott, who was released from a hos
pital in Newport News. Joe said he had fall
en by the wayside and had to be hospitalized,
hut that he was improving. Now I’ve heard
that last week Joe was obliged to undergo a
serious operation in the University Hospital
at Charlottesville, Va. The last I heard was
that he has a 50-50 chance to recover from
the operation and here’s one who joins Joe’s
many friends in wishing that he'll be patched
up and soon be able to return home to enjoy
many more years of living in Edenton.
o
Just returned from a trip to Maryland
where a lot of people apparently are on the
saving side. Someone who named rivers (some
are not near as large as Pembroke Creek)
were very saving on using letters to name the
rivers. For instance I crossed over the Ni and
Po Rivers while on the trip. Then the Missus
uses Freewax to clean floors at home and she
wanted to buy some for her ill mother. She
called a store and asked, “Have you any Free
wax?” The answer promptly came back,
which was, “Yes. we have wax, but you’ll
have to pay for it.”
o
We hear a lot about history in Edenton but
I learned a new one the other day. On a
letter written by Theo. Kromaine of Clarks
ville, Tenn.. the following sticker was on the
letter: “Kickowanna and the Hunter. Near
Edenton, X. C., early in the 18th century, a
hunter, Jesse Batts, wooed and won Kicko
wanna. daughter of a Chowanoke Chief. The
couple lived on the upper waters of the Yeo
pim River, but Batts frequently visited an ■
island he owned. One night during a storm
Kickowanna was drowned canoeing there.
Batts never left the island again.” I know
of a Batts island near the mouth of Yeopim
River, but it must have been larger than it is
now for somebody to live on it. Anyway, it’s
a new item of history for yours truly.
o
With the recent official opening bf the Ches
apeake Bay bridge-tunnel, Mrs. Ed Bond
brought out a copy of the Edenton Daily
News printed July 20, 1927. It was a spe
cial edition concerning the official opening of
the Chowan River bridge. That event over
26 years ago was just as important to this sec
tion of North Carolina as was the opening of
the bridge-tunnel to Virginia. Many of us
remember the bridge opening which was really
a big day and was a big step in connecting
the “lost colonies” with North Carolina.

Donnie Forehand and Thomas Corprew are
leading in the Chamber of Commerce spring
fishing contest. Forehand landed a iy 2 -pound
bass and Corprew caught a 1-pound, 9-ounce
speckled perch. No entries have been made
for rock fish and bream. The contest should
have started a little earlier, for only a day
before the opening I caught a pound and 12-
ounce speckled perch, which was weighed at
Taylor’s Gulf Station. But prize or rio prize,
it’s a real thrill to pull out a 1# pound
speckled perch which wasn’t so anxious to
leave the water.

known for some time that fish
respond to sonic oscillations
(sound) between 50 and 300
cycles and to light waves. Both
have been combined in a com
pact unit. The release says
sound waves, though only mod
erately audible to the human
ear, travel some 200-300 yards
through the water and attract
the fish directly to the source.
But the release further states
that from then on it is up to
the skill of the fisherman to
get the fish to bite. Well, that
puts us just about where we
are now—get ’em to bite. Any
way, the new gadget retails;
at $12.95. Anybody want
one? I have the address.
