A LIF'T FOR TODAY
I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me.—Phil. 4:13.
If by prayer and trust we abide in
Christ, we shall find that all his divine
love and power are available to us—suffi
cient for anything that may befall us.
We confess our weakness and failures, O
Lord. Help us by daily dwelling in Christ
to have spiritual power to i.ve victoriously
for Thee.
We Learn From Trouble
Anything conceived by the mind of
man can. under extraordinary, one-in-a
million circumstance, go wrong. This was
the case with the massive power inter
ruption that hit the .Northeast last De
cember. It began with an ‘equipment
failure in a big publicly-owned Canadian
system and spread with domino effect to
the other interconnected systems in the
region.
But, fortunately, people learn from
such troubles and take every possible
step to see that nothing of the sort shall
happen again.
That is true of the blackout. It has
beer! announced that 22 utility systems
operating in the affected area have form
ed a Northeast Power Coordinating Coun
cil. These systems, which include the
Power Authority of the State of New
York and the Hydro-Electric Power Com
mission of Ontario, represent about 98
per cent of the generating capacity of
area. The whole purpose of the new
Council is to promote maximum reliabili
ty and efficient'}' of electric service in the
Northeast. It will retain independent,
professional consulting services for the
committees of the Council as it may deem
desirable.
Ihe power systems involved in the
blackout did a splendid job of restoring
service in a remarkably short time. A
major crisis, perhaps even a disaster, was
thus averted. And electric utilities the
country over are studying the causes and
possibilities of such failures with the ut
most rare. Every preventive measure
will be taken.

In the mail late last week wps a postcard
from “Dusty” Rhoades, who left Edenton
to work on a big pleasure yacht. The card
was sent from Nassau in the Bahama
Islands picturing the new and beautiful
Nassau Beach ! Lodge. Dusty’s message
read: “Very nice down south. I believe
this is better than your trip to Europe. Ot
course, Buff, I don't - think you could stand
it here. The girls wear clothes made out
of cloth costing $1,600 per yard, and they
get 10 cents’ worth.” Anyway, while Dusty
apparently is liking his new job, it seems
strange to pass his place of business on
Water Street and see only an empty build
ing.
o
One of our boys in the Herald shop got
older very quickly Friday of last week.
Clyde Slade told me it was his birthday,
so I asked him how old he was. “Nine
teen,” he replied. Well,” I said, “I’m go
ing to give you a penny for each year.”
But at that point Clyde’s age jumped about
a dozen years right sudden like.
Leon Halsey got the. unique idea of set
ting a basket with eggs about the middle
of the sidewalk in front of his feed store
one day last week. And for some reason
he had a portable electric fan running be
side the basket of eggs. Maybe the far.
was to chase “customers” away from the
eggs, but just the same he found a note
reading: “IOU for a quarter dozen of
eggs.” The only thing wrong with the note
was that it was not signed. Now the eggs
and fan are both inside his store.
o
Quito a few Edenton people, including
yours truly, spent a portion of Sunday af
ternoon at Pettigrew State Park along Lake
Phelps. It was very interesting to go
through Somerset Place, heme of the Jo
siah Collins family. Though the many
rooms are bare, one’s imagination could
but try to go back to about 1780 when the
spacious house and many other buildings
were constructed and picture the activities
on the huge plantation. Some cf the orig
inal buildings of the Collins plantation re
main and the area is so well kept that it
will provide a great deal of pleasure to
anyone who has not visited this historical
site. It will be interesting to know that
several years . after the plantation was
started back in the 1680’s, Jcsiah Collins
who lived in Edenton, bought out his part
ners in the big plantation enterprise, which
in 1860 required 327 slaves to help operate
the farm.
o
Things have returned to normal down
Pembroke Circle way. The Kehayes fam
ily was right much disturbed by the sud
den and mysterious disappearance of their
dog Nell. Well, shortly after last week’s
Herald was read, Nell was found some way
trapped under a neighbor’s house. It is
hard to say which was the happiest when
the dog was found?—Nell or Mr. and Mrs.
Ernest Kehayes. The first thing Mrs. Ke
hayes did was to give Nell a square meal
and, round or square, Nell ate every bit of
it without losing any time.
o
If anybody in Edenton is seeking re
ligion; if any backsliders, want to be re
stored, and if church members want to be
strengthened in the faith, they should be
able to do it in Edenton this week. Three
revival meetings are in progress, one at
the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church
and Immanuel Baptist Church. It was
thought that due to the three meetings be-

Sweet Potatoes

A program for the pur
chase of sweet potatoes for
distribution to the school
lynch program and other,

sweet potatoes under this
orogram should submit their

office not later than 3 P. M.
Friday, April 1.
ing in progress a* the same
time, attendance would be
materially reduced, but I
understand that at each
church many have been at
tending every service. May
be we’re getting back to the
old days when a lot of
things were set aside when
a revival meeting was in
progress. And one thing is
sure—a» little more religion
will not hurt any of us;

According to the crowd at
the Country Club Friday
night, not many people were
left in Edenton. The occa
sion was' a welcome to
Edenton for Mr. and Mrs.
Merrill Evans. Mr. Evans
is a law partner of Jimmy
Earnhardt, Jr., and with the
huge crowd which turned
out fer the party, both new
comers should know that
Edenton folks are glad to
welcome them here.
