THURSDAY, AUGUST 13. 1964 A LIFT FOR TODAY The. rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all.—Proverbs 22:2. All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by the same Creator, and however we deceive ourselves, as dear to God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.—Plato. Hasten the day, O Prince of Peace, when all nations shall come together in Christian broth erhood and worship ot Thee, the Father of Man kind. Chowan County Honored It is interesting to note that ‘‘Chowan County Night” will be observed at the show ing of ‘‘The Lost Colony” on Roanoke Island Saturday night, August 22. Information about the county, which was furnished by the Eden ton Chamber of Commerce, will be included in the programs, so that the county will get a nice slice of publicity. Naturally, it is hoped that many from Edenton and Chowan County will attend this special event. As an incentive to attract a large local attendance, cards have been dis tributed (and some of them are in The Her ald office) which will reduce the admittance from $3.00 to $2.00. Another reason for local interest is-the fact that an Edenton girl. Miss Jean Goodwin, is listed among the cast of characters. Miss Goodwin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. VV. P. Goodwin, plays the role of one of the colon ist women. With the vacation season rapidly nearing the end, it would be a splendid idea for many people from Edenton and Chowan County to attend the showing, which was planned to pay tribute to Chowan County. Curtain time is 8:45 P. M. , Splendid Record That the Pettigrew Regional Library is serving a good purpose is reflected in the fact that, according to a report just released, a total of 162,854 books were circulated in the region during the fiscal year which ended June 30. The report, released by Mrs. J. Robert Campbell, chairman of the board of trustees, also shows that more juveniles read library books than adults. During the year 94.991 books were loaned to juvenile readers and 67,863 to adults readers. This is a healthy situation wherein young people take an interest in beneficial and worthwhile read ing material. Bookmobiles play an integral part in book distribution, going to many out-of-the-way places, where books are read by many who otherwise would be unable to secure reading material. It is also interesting to note that a total of 51,676 volumes are now included in the li brary region, which provide books of just about any nature desired. The region is also very fortunate to haVe competent and well trained librarians who are eager to be of ser vice and many times go far beyond their line of duty to help library patrons. Efforts are now under way to secure enough local funds to add to an available fed eral grant to construct a new library building for Edenton. The Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library is now temporarily operating in a dwelling house, so that, taking into consid erattion the value of a modern library and the benefits derived by both adults and young people, every effort should be made to pro vide a library befitting Edenton.

August 15 at 9 o’clock. It will be tough going for boys who want to make the team, but it is this phase of the sport on which depends a rugged football team. The boys will practice morning and night in order ■ to get in proper shape, so that any boy who cannot “take it” might as well drop out early, for the lack of proper training will show up later in the gridiron games. Coaches McGee and Billy Hardison have a good nucleus around which to build a strong team this year with 16 lettermen back and a string of very promising boys coming up from the junior varsity. The first game will be on home soil with the Gates outfit on Friday night, Sep tember 4. Here’s hoping the Aces, the band and cheerleaders all will be ready to give us a lot of good entertainment to open the 1964 football season. o ■— And speaking about the band, Sanfra Ange and Johnetta Davenport attended a baton twirlers’ school last week at St. Andrews Col lege. The girls drilled 5 1 i> hours a day for five days, so they should be able to step high at the football games. The girls spent the week-end with Miss Sally Lytch’s parents Major and Mrs. W. D. Lytch at Laurinburg Miss Lytch is coach of the girls’ basketball team at John A. Holmes High School. The welcome mat was extended the girls at the Lytch home and added to their pleasure was a plane ride home. Dr. Richard Hardin and Howard Ange flew to Laurinburg to pick up the girls. Sandra and Johnetta thoroughly enjoyed the flight, during which Dr. Hardin discussed many interesting things about fly ing. w o Major Bill Whichard was a visitor to The Herald office early this week and forked up a good cigar, on account of he was very hap py. Bill is the father of two daughters, but on Friday morning his wife gave birth to a son (just what Bill wanted). As can be ex pected, Bill has named the 7-pound. Sfq-ounce newcomer “Little Bill”. o Howard Jackson was just a little too critical last week. He recently renewed his subscrip tion to The Herald and last Thursday morn ing he dropped in the office and complained I 1 as to why his paper was cut off. He was no' cut off and was given a copy of the paper but when he arrived home a little later he me: the mail man, who delivered his Herald. o Quite a bit of commotion took place Wed nesday afternoon of last week at tbe home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Winborne at Merry Hill. (Mrs. \\ inborne is The Herald’s corre spondent). Zacariah James and family, who were working in a tobacco field, started to the house to get water when a large rattle snake crossed the path in front of them and ran into a rose bush. They called for a hoe to kill the snake, but “Skimp" Winborne had other ideas. He got a cane pole and with strong twine made a loop on the pole and with the help of the colored folks he managed to get the string around the rattler’s head and caught it alive. The snake was four feet long and had 10 rattlers. With the help of J. D. Barnhill of Edentop, they put the snake in a large container, cut holes in the top and fastened it down. Later the snake was turn ed over to George Burdick, a wildlife biolo-' gist, who said he planned to place it in a zoo somewhere. The Merry Hill crowd didn’t; object, for all they wanted to know was that the snake was nowhere around. o Just for the information of motorists in Edenton. the penalty for over-parking will be boosted next Saturday, August 15. On and after the 15th the penalty for over-park ing will be two bits instead of a .nickel for the first hour, which has been in force ever since parking meters were installed in Eden ton. The Fuss lap neighborhood will not be the same due to the fact that Mrs. Ida Mae Rob erson will be .missing. Having Mrs. ißober son as a neighbor for so long here’s one who feels as though 'he has known her since boy hood. M.rs. Roberson is a sick woman and has had her share of heartaches. She left Wednesday imorning and wiH in a day or two enter a -Raleigh hospital. Mrs. Roberson has i been a splendid neighbor over many years and her departure leaves a void akin to losing g dear member of a family. She was always very friendly, jolly and enjoyed joking with her next door neighbor. Here’s one who hopes her health will improve and that it is not too optimistic to hope that she will some day return to the Edenton she loved. And in j<that connection, Mrs. Roberson’s grand- I <jgiy> Smyer, dwerves^yeat TUB GHtfWMI WOMOD. JBDEIWOII. WOBTH CARWLWA. THtmaPAT. AUGUST IS.

Points Out Number of Outstand* ing Devices 1 : i Visitors to the New -York' World’s Fair from Edenton have an unusual opportunity to see. a post office of the future, ac-’ cording to Postmaster J. L.' Chestnutt. A carefully-chosen group of 80 employees from New York area post offices man the facili-f ty which handles all the Fair’s, mail and some from Flushing, New York, area. The outside, mail is used to keep the mechanized devices operating at, “full tilt”. The post office handles ap proximately 250,000 pieces of mail each day. Postcards to friends and relatives back home, are a big item. About 30,000, are mailed from the Fair each day. One-third of these are ad dressed to persons overseas. Foreign visitors have no trou-' ble understanding U. S. postal operations. The facility has staff members who speak twenty lan guages. / Postmaster Chestnutt notes that residents of Edenton who attend the Fair and wish to try out their foreign language ability can either talk with the multi linguel window clerks or listen to a tape recorded presentation in the post office lobby which' features individual earphones for those who speak Japanese, French, German, Italian and; Spanish. ) New equipment on hand in- ! eludes an experimental Pitney- Bowes Centrifeed which spins envelopes rapidly around a wheel-like mechanism and places 1 them upright on their longest side. Then they move into a machine which cancels stamps and postmarks envelopes at a rate of 500 letters a minute. Letters are sorted to go all j over tht world by machines’ i which position mail so that the addresses are visible to an opera . tor who sits 'in front Os a key | hoard similar to a typewriter, jßy pressing the correct buttons, 100 letters a minute are auto : maticallv directed to bins for 50 different destinations. A larger device, the Burroughs sorter, drops letters and cards into 131 different bins at a rate of 58 letters per minute for each of the twelve operations. The work area is surrounded i by a ramp and gallery for visit ors which is open from 11 A. M., to 6 P. M., seven days a week. Tape recorded vignettes explain the action on the work floor and describe the operations of each machine. Mr. ChestHutt. sqggests thatj Edenton area visitors to the Fair| express their comments on a new stainless steel box being -tested by dropping a note ad- ( dressed to “Superintendent, World’s Fair Post Office” through the modernistic mail slot. Post age is not necessary. If they .wish, visitors may discuss their reactions with clerks at the post office building.

Living in hogans and eat ing under a large tarp shelter, staff and campers enjoyed a full program of activities including I swimming, sailing, canoeing, na ture hikes, cam-pcrafts, handi crafts, mission study, Bible study and worship. Many of the fa cilities were constructed by the campers themselves such as the outdoor showers, tables and log benches, the cookout area, and the worship area. Breakfast was prepared in camp. The other meals were prepared by Elliott’s Case in Hertford and transported to the camp. It is to be hoped that the facilities can be expand ed next year so as to double this year’s enrollment.
