THURSDAY. JANUARY 11, 1968. A LIFT FOR TODAY ★ When they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they cruci fied him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. —Luke 23:33. ON THE CROSS of Calvary God Himself suffered that He might share the travail of man’s sin that He might lift him from death to Life Eternal. We thank Thee, Our Father, that Thou didst come to us in the form of Thy Be*- loved Son and go to The Cross for us. May we never lose sight of The Cross which still beckons to a lost world. The “Twice As” Game Back in 1960, when Senator Eugene McCarthy first fancied himself a nation al political figure, his chief rivals for the Democratic nomination were John F. Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey and Stuart Symington. In the Senate cloakroom it has been recalled that McCarthy said in 1960 that he was twice as Catholic as Jack Ken nedy, twice as liberal as Hubert Hum phrey and twice as bright as Stuart Symington. That didn’t make him very many friends in the Senate, and now the quote has been recalled by his col leagues who have made a game of add ing to the list. Many of the additions are unprint able, it must be said, but here are a few of the “twice as” attributes ascribed to Senator McCarthy by his fellow Sena tors. He is, they say: Twice as long-winded as Senator Ful bright. Twice as arrogant as Dr. Spock. Twice as confused as Clifford Case. Twice as ambitious as George Wallace. Twice as boring as Ralph Yarborough. Twice as manly as Margaret Chase Smith. Twice as incorrrigible as Wayne Morse. Twice as opinionated as Jacob Javits. Twice as brainwashed as George Rom ney. Twice as dovish as Senator Church. Twice as irrational as Stephen Young. Twice as frivolous as Senator Percy. Twice as hopeless as Harold Stassen. Twice as dull as John Sparkman. Twice as pro-Ho-Chi-minh as Staugh ton Lynd. . Twice as sure to be absent as Harri- * son Williams. Twice as vain as Ernest Gruening. Well, that’s the best of the printable ones that we’ve heard, except for one solon who shall be nameless. He re marked: “Still, even with all those quali ties, he is twice as popular as Bobby Kennedy.” Noted and Passed French Boycott : Travel agencies and manufacturers of certain cosmetics and millinery lines in France are beginning to feel the effects of the American boy cott of French imports. It isn’t an or ganized boycott, but it is impressive. Many retail stores, fearful of being stuck with inventories of unsold imports from France, are delaying or cancelling stock orders. Death of a Book : One of the biggest flops of 1967 in the book publishing world was William Manchester’s “The Death of a President .” It never really got rolling beyond the captive book club audiences. The publisher restricted the right of retailers to return unsold copies, with the result that many sold the lemon at below cost to reduce losses. Every body connected with the book was hurt by all the ballyhoo; some think the Ken nedy family which commissioned it was hurt most of all. All anybody else lost was money. British Invasion : Quick question? who owns more newspapers in the Unit ed States than any other single individ ual? The answer: Roy Herbert Thomson, the British publishing magnate. Last month, Lord Thomson purchased a chain of twelve dailies and four weeklies scat tered across the United States, bringing to 52 the number of papers in this coun try owned by his firm. That’s more than any American publisher owns today. Prizewinner: One-time Nobel Prize winner, William Bradford Shockley, Stanford University physicist, has pro posed temporary sterilizatioii of all wo men, and required government approval before each baby. What prize can he be bucking for now? &Seen Ini “By Buff’ Try as much as one will, it’s just im possible to keep from making mistakes. Last week The Herald listed the group of new officers for Unanimity Lodge, who were installed at a very impressive cere mony Thursday night. Os course, an un fortunate mistake was the omission of the name of Leroy Haskett, who was appointed by- Phillip Robey, the new master, as mar shal of the lodge for the year 1968. It was a big mistake for Friend Haskett is the biggest one of the whole shootin’-match. The omission of his name is very much regretted and I just cannot put my finger on the one who is to blame. Anyway, Haskett has performed all the duties thrust upon him in the lodge, so that it’ll be a safe bet that he will make a very good marshal. . o As everyone should know, property must be listed at the tax office during the month of January—unless a person would like to be penalized. Here’s one who has dis charged that responsibility and when leav ing the tax office, Pete Dail asked if I had listed everything. “I have,” I told him. But then he asked, “How about your pipes?” He should have kept his mouth shut, for if the County Commissioners make a ruling that pipes must be listed for taxes—well, I’ll just be sunk. o Os late I’ve been eating all around a hog. At home I’ve had ham and bacon. Then on New Year’s Day I joined Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Kehayes in eating hog jowl. Last Thursday the ladies at the Parish House served the Rotarians pig knuckles. Getting pretty close to chitterlings! o One of the pastimes during the illness of the Missus was gathering up all cf the Christmas greeting cards and to read each one of the messages and mentioned who the cards came from. These Christmas cards may, at times, be more or less of a nuisance, but there’s a lot of satisfaction in reading and giving thought to some of the beautiful expressions not to mention the satisfaction of remembering many peo ple who we have not heard from since he previous Christmas. One of these was from Dick Frohnen, who will be remem bered by some when he was stationed at the Edenton Naval Air Station. Dick is now a college professor' and it was very nice to hear from him. o Os course, a lot of us do not exactly fancy the sort of weather we’ve been hav ing the last few days. But, shucks, just read the papers or listen to the radio and television, and you’ll soon discover that we are not so bad off at that. At any rate, it’s a far cry from “the sunny south.” o Just another reminder that state and city automobile license plates are now on sale. Os course, the cops will not take a peek at the plates until February 15. But after that date you’ll be taking a gamble if you haven’t 1968 plates on your car. It would be mighty uncomfortable to stand in line if the weather near the dead line is the sort of brand we’re having now. Better get ’em now! o With Merrill Evans now a close neighbor of The Herald, another welcome neighbor is Mrs. Jeanne O’Neal. Mrs. O’Neal has been employed as Mr. Evans’ secretary, so that we’re glad to have both of ’em in this neck of the woods. It was a pleasure, though, when I had to go running around the Court House to get court news, to have Mrs. O’Neal so very obliging and accom modating. Capital Clipboard By EULA GREENWOOD SOFT DRINKS: When the bottlers of North Carolina were looking around two years ago for a man to succeed ailing and aging Fred Bowman of Chapel Hill, they turned to politically knowledgeable Ed Woodhouse. Offices were moved to Raleigh and es tablished in the new Wachovia Bank Build ing in the heart of downtown Raleigh. Ed quickly joined the inner core of effective lobbyists whose hangout is the Hotel Sir Walter. However, there is not a great deal of excitement in the work during the off seasons; and Ed found other interests to keep occupied his apparently boundless energy. Now he has joined the Broughton-for- Govemor campaign, leaving the bottlers— at least for a season—and will be in the think of things for Melville Broughton. Now, although young in years, Woodhouse will turn vast Democratic experiences into aids for his candidate. Meantime, Fred Bowman lies ill at his home in Chapel HilL He worked for the bpttlers as one of Raleigh’s ablest and best known lobbyists for nigh on to 40 years. Fred has been bedfast since September— with a serious heart condition. DATES: It is easy to talk about run ning for Congress, for Governor, for the Legislature, and so forth. But actually filing for the office—well, that’s a horse of a different color. That’s when you lay the fee and your vote-getting ability squarely on the line. If you want to run for state office or for Congress, you have until Friday, February 23, to do so. After that date, you’ve had it If you want to run for the Legislature, you must pay your filing fee no later than March 22. This goes for House and Senate. The business world is jammed with executives who know how to run the businesses that belong to other business men. Life would be a great deal more sim ple if we did not try to make people think we are what we are not. The great trouble with luck is that it often disappears when you need it most. A matter of principle is often a cloak to conceal an exhibition of selfishness. ’ 'i ' - ft" Continued from hft I lots. One of the primary factors in develop ment of shopping centers is the crowded conditions in the downtown area. Many communities realize this after it is too late. Although these spaces are available in Edenton they are not being utilized to their fullest. One reason is they are not properly designated and visitors have difficulty in getting into them without busting Broad Street wide open. This in a sense is defeating the purpose for which the lots have been developed. An improved traffic flow system in Edenton might include some one-way streets, which we detest. Nevertheless, if such a plan will result in good for the entire community then no one should stand in the way of such progress. While we’re waiting, though, a few attractive signs on highways leading in to Edenton and at strategic locations in side town would suffice. Running The Gamut Without a doubt, the best people in the world are subscribers to The Chowan Herald. They are also most considerate. Many of our subscribers who no long er meander along The Public Parade take time to write notes of encourage ment when they send in renewal checks. One received today was from Minnie 11. Randolph up in Norfolk, Va. She ran the gamut when she added the fol lowing post script: “Happy New Year to you all, good health and plenty of money.” Thanks, Minnie. The same to you. JUDGE PRIVOTT ISSUES Continued from Pare 1 suspended upon payment of $lO fine and costs. Harvey Young, driving drunk, four months, suspended upon payment of SIOO fine and costs.

EDENTON-CHOWAN Continued from Pace 1 with the remaining $1,952.89 coming from joint funds. Four people were hospitalized outside the county at a cost of $1,852.32. Os this total cost, the county paid $234 and $1,618.32 came from joint funds. There were 57 pharmacy bills paid at a cost of $436.50. The county paid $6.25 and the $430.25 balance came from joint funds. There were two dental service cases at a total cost of $25. Commissioners received a petition to allow the sale of beer on Sunday in Chowan County. The item was tabled. Edenton Town Council recently passed an ordinance allowing the sale of beer on Sunday within the corporate limits. Sheriff Earl Goodwin, who doubles as tax collector, reported that during De cember he collected $58,949.71 toward the 1967 levy. Delinquent taxes, in cluding penalties, amounted to $3,037.80 and pick-ups (more than 10 years de linquent) were $75.56. Fire Chief W. J. Yates reported ninp calls in Edenton last month and three outside of town. Damage was held to $l5O. Mrs. Bertha Bunch, register of deeds, filed a report that showed 29 marriage licenses issued in the final three months of the year. Chairman W. E. Bond presided at the meeting. A vacation is not going away from your work; it is getting your work out of your mind. An honest man, after reviewing his own life, will be inclined to let youth chart its own course. It’s all right to work by a schedule if you can keep up with the schedule. ' - V I The Diplomatic Pouch WASHINGTON, D. C.— The following letters were recently answered by the De partment of State: I am interested in the elections that were held in Viet-Nam. I have looked in news papers for information, but they did not contain enough information that I was looking for. From my point of view, the people who turned out for the elections in Viet-Nam, despite Communist threats, made the greatest step towards defeating the Communists Viet-Nam has ever taken. This is all for a report on the Viet-Nam elec tions which I have chosen for my World History class at school. W. B. Springfield, Mass. Dear Mr. B.: Participation of Vietnamese voters in the elections of September 11, 1966, exceeded expectations. Nearly 4.3 million persons cast ballots, or 80.8% of the registered elec torate. Compared with the local elections of May 30, 1965, there was an increase of 12% in the number of registered voters, and an increase of 21% in the number of actual voters. These statistics become even more im pressive when viewed against the massive Viet Cong effort to intimidate voters and disrupt the balloting. Terrorist incidents just prior to and during voting hours were five times the average rate during the pre ceding month. There were 166 acts of terrorism by the Viet Cong during the elec tion eve and hours of polling. Neverthe less, the mass turnout of voters indicates decisively the resolute interest of the South Vietnamese people in selecting a Constitu ent Assembly to establish the future poli tical structures of their country. There were many foreign observers in Viet Nam during these elections. In re sponse to the invitation issued by the Gov ernment of Viet-Nam, the usual foreign press corps of about 350 correspondents swelled to over 500 by election day. Diplo mats resident at Saigon also received an invitation from the Government of Viet- Nam to witness the voting. That Govern ment provided transport and other assist ance for iise by both correspondents and diplomats to facilitate their travel through out the country. Parliamentary delegations from Japan and Korea also observed the elections. At Saigon, Italian Ambassador d’.Orlandi, dean of the diplomatic corps, pointed out: “Due to the efficient arrangements made by the Government of Viet-Nam, it was possi ble for the diplomatic corps in Saigon to see the orderly way in which this nation wide vote was cost and the fact that the voter was perfectly free and protected from violence.” The great majority of comment from other observers was in a similarly favorable vein. A question has arisen in our family in regard to “nationality.” The question be ing, when asked what your nationality is, do you reply that you are an American; or do you say you are Italian or Irish or Eng lish, etc., because your ancestors may have been bom and raised in one of the coun tries before immigrating to the United States of America. I say we people who are born and brought up in the United States of America are “Americans.” J. A., Schenectedy, N. Y. Dear Mrs. A.: The name of our country is the United States of America.

For example, the United States of Brazil and the United Mexican States, however, no other coun try uses “America” in its name. We and the other countries named are located on the continents of North and South America, which are geographical terms and have nothing to do with the name of the in dividual countries. “America” and “Am ericans,” as used by us, are national terms, not geographical ones. While the official name of our country is United States of America, it has long been common and accepted practice to designate our posts abroad as “American Embassy,” “American Consulate," etc., and our officials as “American Ambassadors,” “American Consuls,” etc. Similarly, the Embassy of the United States of Brazil at Washington is known as the “Brazilian Em bassy,” and the Embassy of the United Mexican States as the "Embassy of Mexi co.” George Washington, in his Farewell Ad dress, said, “The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of pa triotism more than any appellation derived from local discrimination.” Do you havo an inquiry?
