A LIFT FOR TODAY
... Every man shall receive his own reward
According to his own labor.—l Cor. 3:8.
We all play parts toward establishing justice
and good will for all men by seeking the path
of service and steadfastly following where it
leads.
Bless all who labor in Thy vineyard. O God.
that their work may be done for Thine honor

Your Duty To Vote
Next Saturday, May 30, voters will have
an opportunity to cast their ballots for both
state and county officials. This will be not
only an opportunity but rather a privilege and
in fact a duty which every qualified voter
should perform.
All too many people take voting too lightly
and by comparing the number of those voting
in elections with the number of qualified vot
ers, it is easily seen that far too many peo
ple fail to exercise their right to have a voice
in selecting those charged with the responsi
bilities of the various offices.
Much has been said and printed regarding
the candidates for Governor of North Caro
lina and it is to be. regretted that some tactics
akin to mud-slinging have bee? employed in
an effort to gain votes. There is nothing
wrong with a hard-fought campaign for any
public office, but when mud-slinging is
brought into play, it is doubtful if this method
of politicking has much weight in winning
votes.
The average voter has or should have read
and heard the records of the three leading
candidates for Governor. The average voter,
too, has or should have enough intelligence to
determine for himself or herself which candi
date is best qualified to fill the highest public
office in the state. Being properly informed,
every voter should give serious thought as to
which candidate will receive his ballot.
This little piece is written not for the pur
pose of influencing any voter how to cast his
or her ballot, but rather to point out the im
portance of every voter going to the polls
Saturday and take part in the election of
officials.
In Chowan County there are very few con
tests. In fact, there are only two contests
both of these being for offices in the Second
Towpship. For County Commissioner of tha‘
township there are three candidate?. T. O. As
bell. C. M. Evans and Palmer Tynch.
The*other contest is tor representative or
the County Board of Education. For this
office there are also three candidates, O. C.
Long, Marvin L. Evans and Garland H. As
bell. Contrary to previous elections, voter
in the county as a whole will decide the win
ners in both instances.
The polls will be open in the various town
ships from 6:30 A. M., to 6:30 P. M.. an ;
again (his newspaper urges every qualified,
voter to cast a ballot for the candidate he o j
she deems best qualified to fill the office. Bt ;
sure to vote. 1
Wear A Poppy Saturday
“'Wear A Poppy'’ will’ ring on Broad Street
in Edenton and across the nation Saturday
when all will be asked to don the bright red
memorial blossoms in honor of those who gave
in three wars to,protect and secure
krttr freedom. The annual Poppy Day spon
sored by the American Legion Auxiliary is a
fitting tribute to 'those who died defending the
way of lifei in which all true Americans be
lieve Everyone of us, gratefu’
fjratJie privilege of our freedom of speech
freedom to do as we believe best, our
4xfedom to speak opt against injustice, our
freedom to declare' our allegiance to those
things in which we believe, should wear a
poppy on this special day of tribute to our
fallen defenders in two World Wars and the
Korean conflict. ■'
It js appropriate that the symbol we wear
as a visible token of our tribute to those who
■ lives on the battlefield for
hich we all believe, should be

A new look is taking place at the foot of
Broad Street which is greatly enhancing the
appearance in that neck of the woods. As
this column is being written Wednesday morn
ing a crew of carpenters are nailing down
lumber for the roof of the new Municipal
Building. The building is gradually shaping
up and should be quite an asset to the town
when it is completed. All of which brings to
mind an ambition of Ernest Kehayes when he
was Mayor of Edenton some years ago. Mr.
Kehayes tried his darndest to build a new
Municipal Building—but he just couldn’t get
anywhere with one of his pet projects. Any
way, when the building is complete here’s one
who hopes the Town Councilmen will not be
required to wear high silk hats and stuff.

Frank Roberts recently became the daddy
of his second son and, of course, dropped in
the office Monday to “pay up”. Frank was
a little late and gave a bit of advice: “Better
smoke that cigar real soon, for I’ve had it for
quite a while and it might get stale.” Come
to think about it, maybe he paid up for the
first son. for I don’t remember being “paid”
for that one.
o
It is interesting to note that Bill George,
a member of the Chicago .Bears professional
football team and brother of our own Nick
George, has been named to the “Illustrious
Eleven”. The choice for this honor is made
by 53 of the nation’s leading professional foot
ball writers and broadcasters. Bill led all
the middle linebackers in the voting of the
writers and broadcasters and again led his pe
rennial rival, Joe Schmidt of Detroit by 12
votes. Bill also tied with his teammate, Larry
Morris, for fourth place in the voting for the
National Football League’s most valuable de
fensive player. Bill has many friends in
Edenton and many local eyes will be focused
on him when his team appears on television
come football season.

An interesting visitor to The Herald office
Tuesday afternoon was Mrs. Richard Reeves
of Stratford, New Jersey. Mrs. Reeves is a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. O. Asbell and
one of three daughters. Miss Sarah Margaret
Asbell, a home economics agent at Jackson
ville, N. C.. and Mrs. Howard Jordan of Vir
ginia Beach. All three are college graduates
and from a brief conversation with Mrs.
Reeves it is easily gleaned that all three sisters
are very proud of their parents and greatly
appreciate what they have done for them,
especially the sacrifices which were necessary
to provide them with a college education.
There is little which can take the place of real
appreciation on the part of those who have
been benefitted, but all too often the kind
ieeds and sacrifices made by parents are just
taken for granted by children and a sense of
appreciation is very hard to detect. And,
tow, after Waiting this paragraph, Mrs. Reeves
njgbt a lack of appreciation if'and when
; ine sees' me again.

Just a few more days remain in the Cham
ber of Commerce spring fishing contest.
Here’s one who realized it the other night and
ried to persuade my fishing partner—the •
Missus —to try our luck about 10:30 o’clock:
t night. Well, the moon was shining bright,;
he weather warm and I had an urge to fish!
—so why not? But the best I could do was!
ry to go to sleep and imagine I could see'
he cork bobbing. At any rate, not so many j
big ’uns have been reported to date, so that
here’s still a chance fori those who have the
time to try their luck.

Without doubt, the busiest place in Eden
ton about noon Sunday was the lunch room
at John A. Holmes High School. The Band
Parents Association I 'served a “Sunday Din
ner” and in the neighborhood of 400 appe
ites were appeased. A group of men were on
hand to assist the ladies and for a buck one
:ould not have secured a better meal. And a
sign in the lunch room read, “Attend the band
'oncert at 3 o’clock —it will aid digestion.”
Well, the meal was very good and no reason
to have indigestion, and so was the band con
cert, but there was not as many at the con
cert as there was at the dinner.

Chowan County Democratic- Women will
employ a new wrinkle in Saturday’s election.
Some of the Democratic Women will be at the
six precincts in the county Saturday and as
each person votes, the ladies will pin on a
little sign: “I Have Voted—Have You?”
The purpose is to help get out a large vote
m the election and here’s one who hopes their
efforts will be successful.
