The only words which
convey the awesome maj
esty of Holy Week are
“death” and “life.’ These
are the two words which
are the key to the liturgy
which we celebrate this
Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday. We might right
fully say that this whole
drama of death and life be
gan in the Garden of Eden,
not Edenton, with man’s
iirst sin. And we should
all. by now, know that sin
til* CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. APRIL 11, 1968.
is death. Man was dead,
but not hopelessly so. Man
had the promise—the prom
ise that a Messias would
come to release him from
the chambers of death,
which is sin. But with the
coming of Holy Saturday,
the night of anticipation,
death in sin is behind us;
life is before us in Him
Who promised us: “I am
the Way, the Truth and the
Life.”
Because of all this, i:
there had been no Resur
rection, there would be no
Catholic Church today. In
fact, there would be no
semblance of Christianity
and the very name of
Christ would bring nothing
but a jeer that would re
echo down through the cor
! ridor of time’ Why?
Because shortly before
I His death He flung this
| challenge to His hecklers;
| “Destroy this temple and in
| three days I will rebuild
! it.” They understood the
challenge clearly.
Christ, therefore, would
either arise on the third
day and prove He is truly
God or He would have
gone down in history as the
greatest fraud and imposter
of all time. But the fact
stands that He did arise
and that is why we exult
with Christ on this day as
the victor over defeat, as
the triumphant Redeemer
over sin, and as the new
life over death.
Christ indeed from death
is risen. Alleluia!

Campaigning
SOUTHPORT—Mrs. James
M. Harper, Jr., candidate
for the Democratic nomin
ation for lieutenant gov
ernor, said this week that
she considers membership
on the State Board of Edu
cation to be one of the
most important duties of
that office. She pointed
out that the lieuteant gov
ernor is one of three ex
officio members of the edu
cation body the state
treasurer and the superin
tendent of education being
the other two. All are
voting members of the
Board of Education.
“Education is the biggest
business in which the state
of North Carolina is en
gaged,” said Mrs. Harper,
“and the product turned
out by our schools is our
most valuable commodity.
I will consider it a spe
cial opportunity for ser
vice to be a member of
this body.”
“I believe that it is of
major importance for the
presiding officer of one of
our legislative branches to
have intimate knowledge
of the programs and goals
of the State Department of
Public Instruction,” she
said, “and I would con
sider my membership on
the State Board of Educa
tion to be a great ad van*-
age in my purpose to do
everything possible to
make the public education
system of North Carolina
the best in the nation.”
“Whenever I have ac
cepted appointment to com
missions or committees. I
have taken my responsi
bilities seriously,” declared
the woman candidate for
lieutenant governor. “If I
become eligible for mem
bership on the Board of
Education, I will attend its
sessions and will use the
knowledge I gain as a
board member to help im
plement an effective legis
lative program in the State
Senate.”
Mrs. Harper is continu
ing her plan to carry her
campaign into all sections
of North Carolina. After
being in the central part
of the state last week in
Sanford, Greensboro and
Pittsboro, this week, she
heads west for meetings in
Kings Mountain, Shelby
and Morganton.
New Wheat Variety Announced
The new wheat variety
developed for North Caro
lina by North Carolina
State University fully mer
its being called a Golden
Grain.
Gov. Dan K. Moore has
revealed that the new
wheat, named Blueboy by
NCSU scientists, will bring
an additional $10,000,000
annually in income to
North Carolina farmers by
1970.
The governor made the
statement at the 1968
meeting of the N. C. Ag
ricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service in
Raleigh.
The governor called the
new wheat an “outstanding
contribution” to North Ca
rolina agriculture.
His statement was the
first report of the wheat’s
income value in future
years and was prepared by
research officers at North
Carolina State University.
Blueboy was developed
at N. C. State and was re
leased last year. The first
year results were more
dramatic than the research

the oldest grower.
The judging will be

There is a minimum of

50 cents for every pound

weighs more than last
year’s champion, the fair
will pay an additional $1

scientists had anticipated.
It is expected to increase
acre yields from 31 to 50
bushels on a statewide
basis.
Dr. Charles F. Murphy,
crop scientist at N. C.
State, developed the new
wheat variety.
One farmer who grew
Blueboy last year for seed
increase, W. A. McFarland
cf Durham, made a yield
of 100.9 bushels per acre
on a five-acre field.
Blueboy is a soft red
winter wheat and will
stand up under heavy fer
tilization to produce high
yields.
Dr. Roy Lovvorn, direc
tor of agricultural research
at State, reports that about
60,000 acres of Blueboy
were planted last fall and
are expected to be har
vested this summer, pro
viding an abundance of
seed for the 1969 crop.
The first year’s increase
in income by Blueboy,
based commercial wheat
prices, is predicted to be
upwards of $1.5 million,
the scientists report.
With seed available so
Deep, rich orange in color,
it weighed 282 pounds and
had a circumference of al
most seven feet.
The grower of this au
tumn behemoth was Ken
neth Jenkins of German
ton. He received a check
for $205, which included
S2B for weighing that num
ber of pounds more than
the 254-pound champion in
1966.
Since January the fair
has been offering free
seeds to prospective grow
ers who would like to en
ter this year’s contest.
These are of the Big Max
strain, and Albert Voss, in
charge of distribution,
guarantees they will grow
big pumpkins. Voss will
mail the seeds on request
through April 30, but any
exhibitor may use his own
seeds if he desires.
In the other pumpkin
categories, the fair will pay
plant some 200,000 acres
for the 1969 crop, the add
ed income will jump to
$5.3 million.
The acreage is expected
to be 400,000 acres by 1970
for an added annual in
c tease of $10,000,000.
The $lO million addi
tional annual income ex
pected from Blueboy is
greater than total annual

priations for agricultural
research at North Carolina
