A LIFT FOR TODAY
I will meditate in they precepts.—Psalm
119:15.
Study of the Holy Bible, which reveals
God’s infinite love and mercy, is impera
tive to spiritual progress and life enrich
ment.
May our hearts be filled to the brim
with holy Joy through communion with
Thee by reading Thy Word, wa pray, our
Father.
Poverty Weaponry
It has been calculated that on an aver
age in the United States, it takes about
$20,000 invested capital to provide one
job. That investment takes the form of
land, buildings, equipment, and tools.
The $20,000 per job figure indicates that
something in the neighborhood of one
and-a-half-trillion dollars has been in
vested in the 75-million jobs in this coun
try. This total investment represents
the savings of millions of our citizens,
from the widow’s mite to the tycoon’s
millions.
It would seem to an unbiased observer
that the nation has beenu making a pret
ty relentless war on poverty throughout
the 178 years since our Constitution rati
fied the private enterprise system. Start
ing with less than 4 million people
bunched along the Atlantic seaboard, our
population has spread across a complete
ly undeveloped country to the Pacific.
Meanwhile, the population has increased
to 200 million, enjoying the highest
standard of living, and less poverty, than
exists anywhere in the world. The reali
ty of the situation is that even the poor
est among us are more fortunate than a
majority of the rest of the world’s peo
ples.
This is not to say that something
shouldn’t be done about the poverty
stricken among jfe But it is to point
out that what is raxed from the “naves ,
to give to the “have-nots”, as the Presi
dent expressed it, will not be available
as savings to be invested in the land,
buildings and tools which provide jobs.
Small business bankruptcies are in
creasing at an alarming rate. A typical
case in point is one reported recently by
a CPA who liquidated a bankrupt busi
ness and found that “if the business had
been able to retail what it paid over a
20-year period in increases in state and
city taxes, and for outside accounting
services in preparing necessary city, state
and federal tax returns” it would still
be in business and 23 people would still
be employed.
Note that the accountant did not men
tion what was paid in Federal taxes.
It comes to mind also that not long
ago it was calculated that “featherbed
ding”, in just two of our major indus
tries, railroads and steel, was costing
S4OO million annually. That amount of
money would create a lot of jobs.
So would that sll4 billion in “foreign
aid” which we have scattered abroad.
Government can give to some only
what it takes from others. If Govern
ment takes from others. If Government
takes the $20,000 which would otherwise
go into creating a new job, then it is de
feating a tried and proved method of
overcoming poverty in our land.
More Noise Than Substance
If you do something bad, everybody
always knows about it. But, you could
go to church every Sunday of your life,
take home stray kittens and help old
ladies across the street forever and never
find yourself a celebrity. The younger
generation and most particularly the
older teen-age section of it are in this
position. The lunatic fringe, the so
called “hippies,” the LSD trippers and
the troublemakers get all the publicity.
Every adult should remember that this
minority of the younger generation is not
indicative of the ambition, intelligence or
solid accomplishment of the vast majori
ty of young people.
As a publisher, Mr. Don Robinson of
The American Press observes, it might
help if publications, “ . . . would tell
more about some of the outstanding
achievements of young people and stop
encouraging the mentally unbalanced by
giving them all the limdiglit.”
The business of developing one’s per
sonality is more important than that of
ing the holiday season.

SHRINERS SUPPORT HOSPITALS—Chowan County Shrinor* Tuesday night played
host to the potentate of Sudan Temple and turned over proceeds from last month's fish
fry to be used in Crippled Children's Hospitals operated by the Shrine. Arthur T.
Moore of Fayetteville, left spoke briefly about the work of Shriners with crippled child
ren prior to accepting a check for more than SSOO from W. M. ((Dusty) Rhoades, one
of the local Shriners. There is no organised Shrine Club in Chowan County but the
approximately 20 Shriners here had a successful fish fry on October 14. Formation of
a dub is being discussed.
H
£Lj&S~n
“By Buff’
Chowan County Shriners enjoyed a fish
fry Tuesday night in the Scottish Rite Club
home on Granville Street. A lot of the
“brass” from Sudan Temple attended the
meeting .and to say the least those fellows
like fish just like the boys around here.
It seems like old times again in Edenton
with Edenton Aces having their winning
ways. And what makes it all the more
satisfying is the fact that at the start of
the season the prospects appeared very
slim to win half of the conference games
let alone going through the season with a
perfect conference record. And to add to
their laurels, the Aces tripped Camp Le
jeune for district honors and are now
scheduled to meet Clayton at Greenville
Friday night for the regional championship.
It all goes to show what can be accom
plished by team effort—every boy doing
his part from end to end. Coach Marion
Kirby and every one of the Aces deserve
u lot of credit for this year’s record and
here’s one who is wishing them another
victory Friday night in Greenville.
It now appears that the North Carolina
Natural Gas Corporation is planning to in
stall a natural gas line in Edenton. But in
commenting on the proposal, I heard one
fellow say we have enough “gas” in Eden
ton already. Os course, he was not talk
ing about the same kind of “gas.”
o
For those who didn’t get to see the play
“Harvey,” presented by local talent in the
John A. Holmes High School auditorium
Thursday or Saturday nights, they really
missed a treat. And I use that word
“talent” advisedly, for every one of the
characters, in my humble opinion, perform
ed just about like professionals. Many
times in a play one or two performers sort
of stole the show, but in this one every
single person was just about perfect, so
that if I were a theatrical critic, I’d say
the play was just about the best the Little
Theater players have presented. And just
so all will know who took part in the
play, here they are listed: Iris Etheridge,
Jill Crandall, Doris Parrish, Dr. Richard
Hardin, Jean Peele, Frank Palumbo, Dewey
Mills, Jog. Conge, Jr., Jane Holmes, Haugh
ton Ehringhaus and Pat Flanagan. John
Becker was the producer-director and, of
course, there were those behind the scenes
who also did a hangup job in 'helping to
make the play such a wonderful success
so that all who attended felt that they got
their money’s worth.
So far as fog is concerned, England had
nothing on this neck of the woods Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning. Rick Alls
brook was kind enough to drive the Missus
to the airport in Norfolk to meet her
daughter-in-law and granddaughter, who
flew over from London, and so thick was
the fog that it took ’em about four hours
to drive from Norfolk to Edenton. And
just the same, here’s one who would not
have ventured out in the sound Wednes
day morning—fish or no fish. In fact, I
had sort of a hard time finding The Her
ald office, so that I arrived a few min
utes late.
Leroy Haskett is a busy fellow these
days getting up with local Masons to get
contributions for the Oxford Orphanage
and the Masonic and Eastern Star Home
for old people at Greensboro. Leroy heads
a committee, 1 together with Kermit Layton
and Murray Baker, all of whom want to
send in a report of local contributions by
December 1. Os course, any one of this
trio will take contributions after December
1, but they’d like to have a complete report
before December 1. Some of the boys may
have mislaid their letter from the commit
tee, so fork up, boys, so that Unanimity
Lodge will be able to make a creditable
contribution toward these most worthy
projects.

Neipraschk converted.
Edenton’s other two scores were pick
ed up by Wallace who one time took a
lateral from Quinton Goodwin, who had
just taken a short pass from Katkavecl:,
and went into the end zone unmolested.
Neipraschk again booted the extra point.
The final Edenton TD came on a 71-
yard drive that took 14 plays. Parker
was the strong man in this drive as he
ground out 43 yards. Wallace circled
right end from the eight to post the
score with Neipraschk splitting the up
rights for the third straight time.
Clayton, one of the strongest teams
in the East, displayed their strength last
week as they downed Charles B. Aycock,
41-18.
If the Aces managed to post their 11th
victory of the season Friday night they
will go into the finals on December 1.

Seals and would like to have some, call
Mr. Parrish, phone 482-2266 or 482-2421
and he will gladly mail them to you.
The Christmas Seal and Special Stamp
produce a pretty picture.
The ovation given the 1966 special
Christmas Stamp was so overwhelming
that the Post Office Department has is
sued essentially the same stamp this
year as an encore, Postmaster James M.
Bond reported.
The 1967 version will be bigger than
last year’s and will include more of the
“Madonna and Child with Angels,”
painted in the 15th century by the Flem
ish artist Hans Memling. The master
piece hangs in the National Gallery of
Art in Washington, D. C.
The stamps are now on sale at post
offices.
The postmaster urged all area resi
dents to shop and mail early and use
ZIP Code in all addresses so that the
avalanche of Christmas mail will be dis
patched with the greatest efficiency.

along the curb.
People come by the thousands to en
joy our community. They are impressed
with our stately, beautiful homes. But if
they come anytime except during the
Pilgrimage, they will be welcome! by
unsightly garbage containers. In rare in
stances this will be a can. The more
affluent will have them in a fancy cart.
And if they get there before the dogs
the lids will be intact.
A Municipal Building, Fire Station,
etc., was erected in keeping with the
community. The budget contains only
SI,OOO for beautification.
Homeowners take pride in their prop
erty as well as municipal holdings.
A street washer and back-door garbage
collection would make Edenton a cleaner
and prettier town. This is neither un
realistic or unobtainable.
