PAGE TWO Scott Seeks ‘Real Jim Gardner’ RALEIGH 'Will the rval Jim Gardner please stand up?" Bub Scott has been asking (hat question across North Carolina re cently. “He's been changing his mind so often lately, I don't know where the real Jim Gardner stands," Scott said. "He changed from Demo crat to Republican to seek a congressional seat with a campaign promise of being a fulltime congressman,” Scott said. “Then he changed his mind after he was elected and became a candidate for governor and a parttime congressman. He said he would support Mr. Nixon for the Repub lican presidential nomina tion, but he changed his mind and leaned toward Governor Reagan of Cali fornia. “Maybe in the course of all these changes he will change back to support me as a candidate for governor on the Democratic ticket,” Scott said. Scott recommended that James V. Johnson of .Char lotte be the new chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee and that Mrs. James M. Harper be the vice chairman. The committee approved his recommendations. Johnson, a Charlotte bot tling company executive, succeeds I. T. (Tim) Valen tine, Jr., of Nashville. Mrs. Harper polled more than 148,000 votes in a primary race for nomina tion for lieutenant gover §B FUNERAL home I ■ »- frlenas , fOM I fj f‘ r y £ jjMt to I = lle e.

Scott said at Asheville he is conducting a guber natorial campaign of Tar Heels, by Tar Heels, and for Tar Heels. “I’m a Tar Heel, folks know I’m a Tar Heel, and I am interested in Tar Heel programs,” Scott said. “I would like to think people are going to vote for me cn the basis of my record and me as a candidate, rather than whatever movie star I might bring in from out of state to help me in my campaign.” Scott’s opponent, Jim Gardner, appeared jointly with California Gov. Ron ald Reagan, a former movie star, at a Winston- Salem rally July 30. Scott said bridges are a sore subject among some county school superintend ents and parents in North Carolina. “There are now five bridges in Alamance Coun ty over which school buses have been forbidden to pass,” Scott said. “There were six. “One of those bridges collapsed July 11 when a loaded tractor-trailer at tempted to cross it.” Scott said that farther west, near Morganton in Burke County, a bridge across Warrior’s Fork was in such bad condition this school year that a school bus carrying 40 students had to unload its passeng ers before it could cross. “It it was raining in the morning, the children got TOE CHOWAN HERALD.

HEALTHAND SAFETY TIPS FORGET OLD FROSTBITE TREATMENTS Frostbite is an import ant health hazard each winter in most parts of the country. Today’s Health, the magazine of the American Medical Association, re ports that true frostbite means that the tissues are frozen. Crystals of ice form between the cells. Nerves, muscles and blood vessel tissues are most susceptible. Frostbite can happen be fore you know it, and it isn’t necessary for the tem perature to be excessively low. The wind plays an important role. The chill ing effect of air at 20 de grees moving 45 miles an hour is the same as 40-. be-I 1 iw-zero air on a still day. i CVne of the dangers of j frostbite is that you often don’t feel it. First thing! you know is that someone • else notices that your ear, or nose is turning white. The frozen part becomes hard to touch and loses feeling. Many sports lead ers advocate a buddy sys tem for outdoor winter sports: two persons are paired off, each watching the other for signs of frost bite. To prevent frostbite, first be certain that you are properly dressed for the temperature. Avoid over exertion and excessive per spiration. Avoid contact of bare flesh with cold metal. Don’t drink alcohol or smoke. In first aid for frostbite, forget the old saw about rubbing the affected part with snow, and also forget the completely invalid cau. tion against rapid thawing. Also, don't massage or rub the frozen part. Don’t touch it at all. Begin rap id rewarming as soon as possible. A hot bath is ex cellent, but avoid scalding. Hot wet towels will help, changed frequently and ap plied gently. If no fire or hot water is at hand, place the patient in a sleeping bag, or cover with coats and blankets. Hot liquids will help raise body tem eprature. for quick results. TRY A HERALD Make Church - Going A Habit ... SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON TOO BUSY FOR GOD’S WORK International Sunday School Lesson for Aug. 18 Memory Selection: “Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?”—Haggai 1:4. Lesson Text: Ezra 4-6; Haggai 1-2; Zechariah | 1-8. In the study of our last lesson the exiles were shouting and weeping for joy at being permitted to return to. their homeland and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. In the lesson we are studying today, we find those same people in a vastly different mood— disinterested, unwilling to apply themselves to the task at hand. Why? Forced by royal decrees, the people were forced to stop the work of rebuilding. And from out of this idleness came ennui. Perhaps it was wrong—but how many of us (burdened with the necessity of making a living) work diligently at it to the point of dropping in our tracks? Some how, we keep going—just as long as we don’t stop. When we DO stop, however, then—and only then—do we realize how tired we are—and we have to flog ourselves to get back into the swing. There are few among us who have es caped this experience in the course of a life time; it therefore behooves us ill to be critical of the exiles at the point we are studying. There is. however, one thing of which the re turned exiles were guilty, and which we, today, must guard against; instead of deepening their religious life, they fell prey to the snares of secularism. They became absorbed in things which wholly concerned their daily life, neglect ing the things pertinent to life everlasting. They became, in other words, selfish. And had it not been for the prophet Haggai, this state of affairs might have continued in definitely. But, speaking tor the Lord, Haggai shocked them into acceptance of their responsi bilities, and the rebuilding operation was re sumed. Discouragement, then—as it still does today— breeds apathy. It is a pitfall the true Christian must ever guard against. The people who had been charged with the responsibility of rebuilding the temple were lucky; they had Haggai and Zechariah to stir their conscience and galvanize them into com pleting the Lord’s work that had been neg lected. We, today, are vulnerable to disenchantment. Things don’t quite go as we would like them to, and we become discouraged. This discourage ment often takes the form of excuses when, as Christians, we are asked to perform some extra curricular task in our church work. We have too many other things on our mind things which, in our eyes, take priority in our worka day schedules. What we tend to forget is that time belongs to God —all of it. Our primary commitment is to God. All that Continued on Page 4 BELK - TYLER’S EDEN TON'S SHOPPING CENTER W. E. SMITH GENERAL MERCHANDISE “Rocky Hock" PHONE 221-4031 EDENTON M. G. BROWN CO., INC.

Like the time a bully beat me up—my brothers followed me to school for two weeks. They wouldn’t have fought him, but he didn’t know that. Every night they worked out with me. Finally, I took him on and won. My brothers are first-rate in everything—studies and athletics. There’s nothing wishy-washy about them —if they don’t think something’s right, they say so. When there was a “walk-out” at school, they squashed it, practically single-handed. Because our parents have always taken us to church and taught us God’s way, my brothers are strong-principled and good. I aim to be like them. Your church is a training ground for integrity!

ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizen ship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democ racy nor civilization can sur vive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regu larly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Copyright 1968 Keister Advertising Service, Inc., Strasburg, Va.
