A LIFT FOR TODAY
Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’*
business? —Luke 2:49.
God’s business is primarily the salvation of a
world. What is the measure of our concern far
the lost about us?
Remembering Thy love for us, help us to find
how much we can do for Thao, and not haw
little, Q Lord. ’ .

Eyes On East
One of the longest, hardest-fought and
expensive primary elections terminated Satur
day, when North Carolina voters expressed
at the ballot boxes their choice for Governor
and a few other state officers.
The three leading candidates for Governor,
Richardson Preyer, Dan Moore and Dr. I.
Beverly Lake, all secured a creditable num
ber of votes, with Mr. Preyer emerging from
the race ahead of the other two, but not near
ly enough votes to clinch the Democratic
nomination.
A second primary election will, therefore,
be held Saturday, June 27, when the voters
of the state will decide if they want Mr. Prey
er or Mr. Moore to be their Governor:
If the primary election is any indication ip
the runoff election, there will be a consider
able amount of electioneering going on from
now until June 27.
As was the case in the last election for Gov
ernor, eyes will no doubt be focused on east
ern North Carolina, where voters played a
major role in the election of Governor Terry
Sanford. Eastern North Carolina registered
a majority of votes for Dr. Lake last Satur
day, so that this section may very easily have
an important bearing on who will be nominat
ed. To be sure, both Preyer and Moore will
try to woo Lake supporters into their camp
and it is a big guess as to who will win the
majority of the votes.
At any rate, during the primary election
tactics neared the mud-slinging stage, and it
is‘ to be hoped that the second primary elec
tion iMI be on a higher level. After all, it is
doubtful if mud-slinging and backbiting. fus
ever won- a large number of Vote's.'
Both of the candidates for Governor are
upright and capable men and each would be
a credit to be in the Governor’s office. There
is very little difference in the platform or
program of each candidate, so that it is up
to the voters as to which candidate they pre
fer to serve as Governor.
No doubt, the second primary election will
be hard-fought but, like a good football game,
it can be fair and clean, and may the best
man win.
Credit Reflected
John A. Holmes High School graduates
have reflected credit to themselves and to
their school. This year $49,815 was available
to seniors in way of scholarships, loans and
self-help jobs in order to further their educa
tion. This is next to the highest amount ever
made available to local students and of this
amount $38,865 has been accepted by gradu
ates.
Though Edenton has a small school, the
fact that quality education is an important
phase of teaching, reflects credit on the school
and the students themselves.
Quite a few students will be able to further
their educational and vocational training as
the result of scholarships and other help.
And this assistance has not merely been hand
ed out but is awarded on the basis of the stu
dent’s academic standing and record in high
school. The fact that so many students have
been rewarded by scholarships and other help
is a credit to the students, teachers and gen
eral program of the school.
As so often said, graduation is not the end,
but only another beginning, so that The Her
ald wishes the best of success and happiness
for these young people who this week ended
their high school careers.
Summer Safely
Summer begins June 21 and brings with it
special hazards. The pleasures of water sports
will be enjoyed by many millions of people,
and they will carry with them special dang*-
Swimming is still the chief problem and
bask rules of safety should be observed al
ways—never swim alone, after eating or when
overly tired; doift overestimate Whit ability

IklearJ & Seen
The Chamber of Commerce spring fishing
cowtest dosed Sunday, but Jim Robinson has
no* given me the names of the winners. The
weather nun failed to cooperate in ..this year’s
contest, so that not so many whoppers have
> been caught as in previoqs years. . And speak
ing about fish, Bob Evans, Chowan County
Wildlife Protector, told me last week that he
released a-gang of fish in nearby waters. He
said 2,600 largemouth bass fingerings had
been- released in Pembroke Creek, Burnt Mill
Cseek, Bennett’s Mill Pond and Dillard’s
Mill Pond. That’s 2,600 in each of these
places, so maybe by next year; there’ll be
more fish caught in the contest.

l thought somebody was lacking at the Post
Office and early this week I found out. Post
master Jirn Chestnutt was taken to Chowan
Hospital- Friday and is still a patient. It was
thought Jim had a'’slight.heart attack, so that
he’s undergoing a lot of tests. Here’s one of
Ins many friends who hopes he’ll soon be able
to be on the job at the Post Office.

Jim Kinion, summer recreational director,
has gotten together a softball league and from
what I understand some changes, and good
opes, will be made. I’m informed that each
player must be a member of the group he
plays for, so that young and good players can
not be picked up at random to help strength
en any particular team. Then I’m told that
bunting and stealing bases will be prohibited,
which is ix| favor of older players, who are not
so agile and less likely to be hurt by fast
running youngsters trying to steal bases. Af
ter all, the purpose of the summer program is
to provide wholesome recreation for those of
all ages and not primarily to have a winning
team regardless. Jim • is; also planning girls’
softball games, a little league and pony league
as weH as a basketball school for youngsters.
Here’? hoping his summer program will be
successful and that a great number of our
people will benefit by it.

The Missus went off Tuesday night to get
some coaching for Eastern Star wprk. She
came home with a bouquet of beautiful flow
ers, so maybe she was head of her class. The
flowers were picked by Roy Leary by aid of
a flashlight, for he doesn’t have time to pick
flowers during the day—he’s one of our “reg
ular” fishermen, you know. And what’s more,
he catches ’em.
o
In the mail last week was a package of cig
ars (my favorite brand) which was sent by
Raymond J. Stansburg from Hillsboro, N. C.
A note read: “Dear Mr. Bufflap—l hope you
enjoy them.” Just what the cigars are for is
sort of* mystery, but I’m reftlly enjoying ’em,
T’aitks, Mr. Stansburg! -

Chowan County Commissioners are sort of
scratching their heads as the result of every
budget coming in showing an increase. They
are hoping they can hold the same tax rate,
but they’ll be little short of magicians if the
budgets stand as presented and the tax rate
remains the same. They-wouldn’t be so bad
off if all delinquent taxes were paid, for of
the 1963 tax levy $38,719.38 remains unpaid.
And besides that, delinquent taxxes for the
10-year period 1953-1962 amount to $71,351.
At their meeting Monday the Commissioners
started to get hard-boiled, for they need the
money and there’s no excuse for some people
paying their taxes and a lot of others paying
little or no attention to it. As a result the
Commissioners instructed Sheriff Earl Good
win to begin executing garnishees for taxes
and attach property in order to collect the
money. Which means that somebody might
ride up town and be obliged to walk home, or
go in a barber shop or some other place and
leave without a coat or hat, for Mr. Good
win will be on the lookout tp attach property
which will, no doubt, let some people realize
that they must do at least two things—piy
taxes and die. .
