If we would lay hold on our Heavenly Father, we must deny self, for it is only when self decreases that God can increase. O God, so vitalize our love for Thee that we may say, “For me to live is Christ.” Conservatives Unite If you have tears to shed for the Mc- Carran-Walter Immigration Act and its national origins quota system, prepare to shed them now! There are presently two new immigra tion bills before the Congress and one of them will be passed! So, mourn if you must the demise of the quota sys tem basis of our immigration policy, but make up your mind as to which of the new measures will best assure entry of deserving and desirable immigrants and provide some hope for excluding the un desirable. The Administration’s bill (HR2580 - S 500), introduced by New York’s liberal Democrat, Rep. Emanuel Celler, would throw wide the gates to immigrant hordes at the whim of a five-man commission of Presidential appointees with virtually unlimited powers. The second bill, HR 8662, just intro duced by Rep. Michael A. Feighan, the conservative Ohio Democrat who is chairman of the House Subcommittee on Immigration and Nationality, provides unprecedented control by establishing fixed annual ceilings on immigrant ad missions. There is no such limitation in the present law. nor in the Celler Rill. Feighan’s bill would also eliminate many of the loopholes in the present law which have opened the way to abuses and inequities, reportedly including shake downs of qualified immigrants and pay offs to obtain visas for unqualified per sons. It also keeps supervision of the law in the hands of elected represents tives in the Legislative Branch, instead of turning it over to political appointees The American Coalition of Patriotic Societies —an organization which ha; long been concerned with keeping an open but well-guarded door for desirable immigrants, has sent a telegram to Presi dent Johnson and is contacting Legisla tors urging support of Congressman Fer ghan's Bill, HR 8662. We strongly suggest that others would do well to do likewise. New Look In Beef ‘‘Pigs Is Pigs" was the title of an enor mously successful little book published long ago. And, one might think, tha* phrase is a truism—meat animals don’' change over the years. But they do. In fact, as Larry Wil Hams of the Oregon Cattlemen’s Asso ciation writes in the Oregon Voter, there is a new look in beef animals. In hi words. ‘‘Our beef animal now on the market is 50 pounds less than a year ago. It is a higher percentage of loin and round —what the consumer wants.” And this improved product, naturally, brings substanial benefits to its producer. In the course of his article. Mr. Wil liams makes another point. Speaking of the cattlemen, he says: “Historically we have taken the ups and downs along the way and asked for no assistance from government except the opportunity to produce the product asked of us by the consumer and the chance to sell it on a free supply and demand market. We asked no sympathy and resisted any sub sidy in the times when things looked pretty bad to us.” This is true of the whole meat indus try, all the way from the ranches, through the packing houses, and into the butcher’s cabinets. Because of that faith in a sup ply and demand market, and the endless effort to. improve the product, we Ameri cana enjoy a meat supply which has no superior on this earth. v is high —jfewt good! rnJ&JLn] “By Buff' | -» 6 Mrs. Catherine Stokes took time out to write me a note (a sizzling one at that) which she dared me to print. Well, here ’tis just as she had written it: “We dare you to print this. We told all of our friends you would not. What do you and Luther Parks and J. D. El liott mean by voting against the whole Second Ward? Don’t you think we are a part of Edenton? Os course, we don’t have to worry with you but two more years because you are finished in Eden ton politics. We found out all over Edenton what you are thought of. You can’t keep him out always.” Note: Mrs. Stokes is a good mind reader. At the end of the current term I will have served on Town Council since 1937 —a period of 30 years. That’s enough for me. So the “him” or any body else who is so very anxious to be a member of Town Council has plenty of time to file for at least one of the jobs as Councilman-at-large. However, “all over Edenton” I am proud of the fact that I still have many friends. And while the above letter says that I am “dead” politically, W. M. (Dusty) Rhoades was reported “dead” physically last week. Many of Dusty’s friends were very much concerned when a ru mor began going the rounds that he was found dead in bed. Dusty hasn’t the least idea about how the rumor got start ed and didn’t mind it so much until the coroner and an undertaker called his shoe shop. He was a very lively corpse at about the time some of his friends were hinking about sending some flowers and Dusty was thinking about collecting his own insurance when he heard he was lead. o A note from Jimmy Johnston, now liv ing in Washington, X. C., says: “Dear Edwin—Just a note to say I have missed not seeing you around and we do miss Edenton and our friends. It was not an easy decision for us to make in leaving Edenton, but getting home makes a very big difference. We will always feel very close to Edenton and those fine people who make it such a wonderful little city. If you and the fine Madam ever get over this way, come to see us. We would love to have you.” (See, I have at least one friend). o Then Mrs. Sam 'Ross, writing from Pensacola. Fla., had this to say: “Dear Buff—Enclosed is my personal check for a year’s subscription to The Herald. Don’t want to miss one issue for in this vay I keep up with the news of Edenton and also its people. Sincerely hope Le roy Haskett is out of Norfolk General and able to go to that farm each day. I do think there’s an improvement in The Herald. The change-over is good— more pictures, too, but the news of the own. county and its people is the im portant thing—plus national and inter national news. Congratulations and best wishes.” o Jim and Barbara Anderson, former Edentonians connected with the U. S. Fish Hatchery here, are in Edenton for several days. They are now located in Florida and are spending their vacation visiting Edenton friends. They love Edenton and many Edenton people love ‘hem. The Andersons were guests of honor at a picnic held at Arrowhead Beach Tuesday evening, when they had an opportunity to meet and chat with many of their local friends. I asked Jim how things were going down in Florida. “Well,” he said, “let’s talk about some thing more pleasant.” o Seemed like old times this week. Asa Griffin “donated” two watermelons for the Bufflap household and, like old times, they were far better than the cost ly ones we buy before our local water melons are ready to eat. Time was when Asa had to sit up all night and watch the fire in tobacco barns and shared his watermelons with friends who helped to keep him awake while not fighting mosquitoes. It’s not hard to re member when Asa, Captain J. L. Wig gins, Percy and Gib Perry, Nathan Cope land, Louis Francis and possibly a few others “donated” the best watermelons 1 ever ate. TMt CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1965. IN HONOR GUARD—A young Edenton sailor, Bil ly Keeter, was a member of the Adlai Stevenson honor guard in London, England. SK2 Keeter is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Keeter and gradu ated from John A. Holmes High School in 1960. Er’i Titoii Agrees Continued from Page 1 1966-67. Supt. Hiram J. Mayo, in a letter to federal authorities, said the members of the fac ulty at D. F. Walker High School have been hired for the year 1965-66 and “a problem would be created because of a decrease in en rollment and therefore the necessity of requesting a change in dates from 1965- 66 to 1966-67.” Until the recent maneuvers to gain compliance with the Civil Rights Act —by both Edenton and Chowan Countv units students completing the eighth grade at White Oak Elementary School were automatically assigned to the city unit for high school work. Therefore, the Cho wan County unit has never had facilities for educating Negro high school students. The agreement between the two units goes back to 1933 when a Negro high school was built in Edenton by the county. Within the past several weeks there has been a lot of activity by local school officials to get their com pliance plans approved. At first the local board said they could not accept any students from outside the district borders for the coming year. That left the county with 100 high school students and no place to put them. After a conference in Washington by county school leaders and federal authori ties, it was agreed that the previous arrangement would be in effect for two years. However, in their action on July 15, the city board ap proved the plan for only one year. The county board, agreeing that it is not practical to build another high school in the county, pledged them selves to work toward a single administrative unit. By doing this no question would arise as to transport ing students from one dis trict to another for school ing. While the one administra tive unit question is not a requirement for compliance with the federal act, county officials were told in Wash ington it was the practical solution to the problem. County Supt. C. C. Walters was quoted in the Raleigh News •& Observer on July 16 as saying plans are in the offing for construction of ad ditional facilities to White Oak School. This has puzzled many lo cal observers since no such plans have beeh made by the county board. On the contrary, they all agree that the cost of such a project would be excessive for the county. Red Man Tribe Installs Officers Newly elected officers for a six month term were in stalled at Monday night’s meeting of Chowan Tribe No. 12, Improved Order of Red Men. The installing officer was W. M. Rhoades, who install ed the following: Prophet, Robert Whiteman; sachem Clyde Hollowell; senior saga more, Alexander Deßlois; junior sagamore. P. B. Pick ier, and trustee for 18 months, W. J. Daniels. The new sachem named the following appointments: Sannaps, Oscar Peeples and Guy Williams; warriors, Bill Harris, W. M. Rhoades Henry Allen Bunch and Louis Craddock; braves, Fred Keeter, Raleigh Hollowell, L. A. Bunch and Billy Dail; guard of the forest, Thomas Jackson and guard of the wigwam, M. L. Flynn. People who worry about the “next way” might give a few thoughts to driving care fully. “ Public farabc Continued from Page One He hit the nail on the head. A property owner in rural Chowan County pays the same amount of school tax as a resident of Edenton. So why should his child go to a second-rate school? Another thing the opposi tion is asking is why is the rural schools second-rate when they have been get ting their share of the mon ey. The insinuation is that the appointed city board has done a better job of man agement than the elected county board. This is not an argument in this discussion. The thing which should be uppermost in the minds of everyone is the education of our chil dren. The merging of school ad ministrative units presents many problems all of which must be considered prior to a recommendation for or against consolidation of school units, states the infor mation being circulated. It also presents some ad vantages. The advantages and disad vantages should be discuss ed intelligently and present ed fairly. An active com mittee should be established to provide a forum for this discussion. Let’s give the children an equal opportunity in the classroom and put less em phasis on where it is locat ed, how the board is chosen and who the administrators are. This can best be accom plished in Chowan County through a single admini strative unit. LOOKING FOR PAR ROTTS Evelyn Parrott Scott of Sudan, Tex., is looking along the Public Pa rade for information con cerning the Parrott family. Mrs. Scott wrote for a copy of our edition contain ing the History of Chowan County, and asked about any Parrotts on our mailing list. We couldn’t find any. If you know of any trace of his family we are sure Mrs. Scott would be most appre ciative. Her address is Box 273, Sudan, Texas. MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE Henry Belk, editor of the Goldsboro News- Argus, is one of the prime movers behind the rather young Coastal Historyland Association. Recently Editor Belk' sent a copy of his editorial page, the lead article dealing with the necessity of action hroughout Eastern North Carolina to get tourists to stop—and spend money. But it was another item on that page which struck us. Editor Belk called it: “Talk ing Hands” and it went: “Since I lost my sight I find that hands talk to me. Hands, that is, that I shake in greeting. “I came up with a start the other day to realize that instinctively I had been feel ing hands to get some im pression of the person to whom they belonged. A hand can tell much of one’s occupation, hobbies, interests. Some hands are long and thin with long fingers. Some are pudgy and thick. Some hands are dry and cool. Some sweaty and damp. Talking hands speak also of the work one does, the ap titudes one has. “In the main, however, the blind person relies on what a voice tells him as to the character, interests, attitudes of a person met for the first time. A voice that is drab, spiritless, too high or too low uncouth or hesitant, all these can reveal the inner man. And with friends, I can tell immediately from the shade and accents and quality of a voice how a person is feeling at that par ticular time, whether she or he is in an optimistic or pessimistic frame of mind, whether one is mad or sad, resentful or defeated. “All of us, it seems to me, learn to tell how our friends are doing on a particular day by the timber and quali ty of their voice over the telephone. Some telephone voices tire you out immedi ately. “A happy telephone salu tation, bright and gay and pleasant, can make you feel so much better.” If there is not a message in that for you, goodnight! BINGO The news item handed us read: “Here’s your chance to win some good prizes—have fun—and help a wonderful cause. The Edenton Jay cettes are sponsoring a Bin go get-together at the Bar ker House on Friday night from 8 until 10 o'clock. Ad mission is just a dollar. You’re invited.” XTamm .... T A ..., . miM this exciting fund rels. Mr. Hines, 86, Taken In Death Rev. Hugh Benjamin Hines, 86, retired Baptist minister of Sanford, died Tuesday morning in the Sanford Hos pital. He was the husband of the former Dixie Hollowell of Edenton, a sister of Miss Minnie Hollowell and Mrs. Hector Lupton. Mr. Hines, a native of Murfreesboro, was a gradu ate of Wake Forest College. He lived for many years in Manteo where he was minis ter of the Baptist church and of several churches on Roa noke Island.
