A LIFT FOR TODAY
What shall I do then with Jesus which
is called Christ? —Matthew 72:22.
Through centuries Christ has stood before
the world with transcendent beauty and
power, but he does not force man to re
spond to his appeal. Each must make his
•own decision as to whether or not he will
accept and follow him.
May we, today, open our hearts and give
Jesus supreme place in our lives, reconse
crating ourselves to his service, we pray,
O Lord.
Saved By The Glow
If 25 states think “safety” license
plates are valuable enough as accident
preventers to issue them to all motorists,
the other 25 should at least consider
them.
Half the states HAVE adopted light
reflective “safety” plates that glow so
brightly at night they can be seen for
2.000 feet. Eight states replaced their
ordinary painted plates with the refleclive
kind by enacting new laws during 1965
legislative sessions. They are Illinois,
North Carolina, Vermont, Arkansas, Ne
vada, Nebraska, Montana and Oklahoma.
Before voting for reflective plates, ev
ery one of these eight state legislatures
considered impartial study results such
as these:
ITEM: In Maine .the annual number
of nighttime collisions with parked cars
dropped 58 per cent from 1950 (when
the state first issued reflective tags) to
1965, compared with the five years be
fore 1950, according to Maine State
Tolice.
ITEM: Nighttime property damage
collisions involving parked and disabled
cars dropped 74 per cent in Minnesota
during the second year after reflectivr
plates were issued, the National Safety
Council reported.
ITEM: Prof. Edward G. Brown of
the University of Washington studied the
experience of all reflective-plate states in
a comprehensive study for the Washing
ton state legislature. As a result, he rec
ommended that the 1965 legislature adopt
reflective plates.
Next year, the legislatures of 14 states
will have a chance to adopt reflective
license plates, thus rectifying what we
think has been an oversight. The states
are Alaska, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mis
sissippi, New Jersey, New York. Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina
and Virginia.
Perhaps some day every car on the
highways of every state will be marked
with the warning glow of a “safety” plate
at night.

“By Buff ’
——
We’re all proud of Edenton Aces’ record
this year and while it would be hard to
single out all of the particular stars, a feel
ine of pride is caused by an article written
by Bill Ballenger in the Charlotte News in
connection with the Shrine Bowl game,
where Bill Griffin, one of the Aces’ out
standing performers this year, was chosen
on the Charlotte News All-State team.
Ballenger’s article follows:
Big Bill Griffin is a formidable man,
standing 6-6 and tipping the scales at 248
pounds.
Those figures make him easily the biggest
football player it* the Shrine Bowl, a - fatet
that makes Tar Heel Coach Clyde Walker
smile a little because the monster from
Edenton is on his side.
“Bill’s a big man all right,” Walker says,
‘but he is very maneuverable for his size.”
He is also from the smallest school rep
resented on the North Carolina roster. Eden
ton is a 2-A school located in the northeast
corner of the state and coached by Gerald
McGee, brother of Duke All-American Mike
McGee.
This year the Edenton squad marched to
a 12-0 record as they took their quarter of
the state 2-A title.
“The closest anybody came to beating us
was 20-6,” Big Bill explains it. “We played
Ahoskie twice and got them 21-7 in the
first game, then 20-6 in the second one.
That’s as close as anybody got to us ... ”
They went out of their class in one game,
playing tough Elizabeth City of the 3-A
ranks.
“That was our finest game,” Griffin says.
“It was my best game and it was the team’s
best game. We beat ’em 26-0 and I guess
that’s the thing I’m proudest of —next to
being in the Shrine Bowl.”
He has played three years of varsity ball
at Edenton, starting out as a callow sopho
more of only 215 pounds. Last year he
weighed in at 230 pounds and now the full
248.
“I think I’ll be at a playing weight of
around 255 or 260 when I get to college,” he
says. “I don’t have much trouble carry
ing it ... ”
He has plenty of college offers. A spot
checks shows at least 11 institutions that
have already bid for his services and if he
continues to hit in practice as he did yes
terday, there will probably be a lot more.
“These guys oijt here really are hitting,”
he said, perspiration cascading off his brow
in king sized droplets. “I’ve never been hit
this hai-d before. It’s quite a change. To
day I hit with Mike Bobbitt (223) and
Ronnie Carpenter (237) and they gave me
a good working over.”
He gave them back some of the same in
spades. The big guy from the little school
isn’t having too much trouble moving up in
classification.
o
Leonard Bass up at the Sunoco Service
Station was delighted the other day when
he received a letter from the Sun Oil Com
pany. The letter from A. J. Johnston, Jr.,
district manager, congratulated BaSs on be
ing one of the top 10 dealers in the Nor
folk District with regard to Sunoco’s “Go
First Class” Appearance Campaign. Mr.
Johnston told Bass that in the near future
he and his wife will be invited to attend a
dinner in appreciation for his work.
o
Members of the Chowan Scottish Rite
Club are gathering toys, clothing and food
to be distributed among the needy in the
community during the Christmas holidays
Miss Glenna Quinn, in charge of the project,
urges anyone who will make contributions
if any kind to take them to the Edenton
Fire Station.
o
And speaking about the holidays, there’ll
be a lot of parties and meals served from
now until Christmas. And I’ll go along
with Malvin Parham. Malvin says that
with so much crop failures blamed on
nematodes, he wished nematodes would at
tack the green pea crop so that they’re not
on about every menu served at a banquet.
o
Edenton’s Christmas parade was just
about one of the best ever. It was my
privilege to ride in the front of the parade
due to the absence of Mayor John Mitch
ener, who had to be out of town. Riding
at the forefront was quite an advantage,
for I got out and then watched the entire
parade. The floats were especially attrac
tive, so that the judges no doubt had a dif
ficult time picking the winners. Oh, yes.
Winks Bond, sitting with me in the car,
commented upon me having on my “Sunday
best” and enjoined me to smoke my pipe
so people would know who I was. And
I did just that.
