THURSDAY, AUGUST 22. 1968. A LIFT FOR TODAY Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil.—Genesis 50:17. Little people harbor grudges. Only the magnanimous know the most sublime joy of life—forgiving one who has done wrong. May we remember a wrong, an injustice, only to forigve, we pray, O God, HIRE EDUCATION While the public attention was focused on various riots, demon strations and disorders at cen ters of higher education in this country and abroad in the spring of this year, a different kind of educational “happening” was taking place in the business world. If you’ll pardon the pun, we’ll call it “Hire Education,” al though it is officially known as “Project Transition.” It’s the kind of down-to-earth program that we hope many businesses will undertake in the months ahead, because it means jobs for servicemen returning to civilian life. In early May, 11 Army and Air Force veterans were the first graduating class under a nation wide training program for mem bers of the armed forces nearing military separation, sponsored by General Motors. These 11 veterans were trained at no cost to the government, nor to them selves. They were carefully screened, through questionnaires and aptitude tests, and then per mitted to enroll in a six-week, 240-hour, appliance servicing course conducted by Frigidaire, which is a division of GM. Upon completion of the course, the veterans were awarded dip lomas, and letters of introduc tion to managers of the com pany’s sales districts across the country. These managers, in turn, will help the trained vet erans contact dealers in or near the veteran’s hometown who are seeking skilled appliance tech nicians. When the graduation cere monies were over, a new class was waitine to be welcomed, and it began a similar training course in basic refrigeration, electron ics. air conditioning, electricity and repair techniques for major home appliances. Frigidaire now has a half dozen classes in operation at training centers across the coun try. and more will follow. The trainees put in an eight-hour day of classroom study and work shop sessions, while still in uni form waiting for separation. Eventually. General Motors will be conducting such free studv programs for servicemen at all of its 30 training centers, without cost to the men or to the Armed Forces. “Hire _ Education” for return ing servicemen looks great to us. We hope other companies will follow GM’s example. Noted and Passed No Beads For Our Men: The following is the full text of an advertisement which appeared in the Valparaiso, Ind., Vidette- Messenger: “PUBLIC NOTICE. We con sider our store a leading men’s shop. For 16 years we have been building an image with style, quality and name brands. We hope to continue to bulild .. . However, there comes a time in every business venture when one must decide between a profit and a basic belief. “Today we decided not to con tribute to a “look” we feel does not befit a red blooded American Sum l YoU<r d ri t£ t! We d ° DOt r'eard &Seen % Buff’ H With the kind of weather we’ve been having for several weeks now, it might appear to be somewhat ridiculous for any body to be trying to buy the heaviest and warmest winter clothing they can get hold of. But that’s exactly what some of a quartet of Edenton men are doing at pres ent. The quartet includes Doc Dick Har din, Rev. George Holmes, Ernest Kehayes and Joe Thorud. Early Thursday morning of next week these four fellows plan to board Doc Hardin’s airplane and head for Alaska. It should be quite a change from the long humid spell of weather we’ve been experiencing. They will fly to Minto, Alas ka, to meet Friend Kehayes’ son, Rev. Tommy Kehayes and family and, according to the guns and fishing equipment they’re taking along, they’re planning to get in a lot of hunting and fishing, with Minto as their headquarters. Here’s wishing ’em a bon voyage, not to mention a bit of envy for their good fortune in going on such a wonderful trip. o And speaking of going on long trips, Mrs. Hazel Spires is scheduled to take one early in October. She will join her son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. A1 Stanton of Plymouth and her grandson, Eddie Stanton, on a vacation trip to Japan and Hong Kong. Here again a bit of envy crops up, but here’s hoping they will have an enjoy able trip. o Bill Rosevear had sort of a hard time at last week’s Rotary meeting. On the menu was peas and, eating with a fork, Bill said eating the peas was somewhat like count ing your blessings—one by one. o A welcome guest at the Rotary meeting was Wesley Chesson, Jr., who will play football for the Duke Blue Devils this sea son. Wesley said he expects to play in the Oyster Bowl game this year—which should be reason for a lot of Edenton friends to plan to go to Norfolk for the game. Inci dentally, Wesley was the speaker and while he spoke about football, he also em phasized the importance of academic hon ors being equally and even more important than playing football which is a com mendable way to evaluate college life. o It was gratifying to learn last week that Charlie Griffin was named Mayor of Kill Devil Hills. Wonder if we can persuade him to pass an ordinance making it manda tory for the fish to bite when I go fish ing down that way. Anyway, Charlie was a good Edenton friend back in 1934 when The Herald came into being. Charlie pre pared all of the legal work in getting the paper started and was very much concerned that Hec Lupton and I would make a suc cess of the new paper, started in compe tition with a struggling little daily publica tion. Congratulations, Charlie, and hope you’ll be able to meet all the problems that are bound to confront a mayor—in- both large and small towns. o And speaking about Nags Head and that neighborhood, here’s a little tip: If any body plans to eat at the most popular res taurants, it might be a good idea to take along a sandwich and cup of coffee to eat and drink in order to keep from starving while waiting for your name to be called out for a table inside. o 1 was a bit surprised when buying some maches the other day that the price had gone up. Well, about the only thing I can think of right now that has not skyrocketed in price is chewing gum—still a nickel a pack. Chew up, folks, for no doubt it will not be long until somebody discovers that something has not been boosted in price. o Bill Herman says that, though his base ball team has had a good season, the club is about $l5O in the hole so far as finances are concerned. The Edenton team won out in the semi-finals last Sunday and will play the last game of the finals next Sunday. He says the club is going to award a Zen ith television set to a lucky person at' the last game. Tickets are on sale at Earl Smith’s Store, M 8t R Grocery, Joe’s Drive- In and any of the ball players. Bill is hoping enough will be made on this ven ture to wind up the baseball season out of the red. o Another treat is in store for people in this area Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock. Mr. and Mrs. Roger Lamb will present an organ recital at St. Paul’s Church, and it’s a safe bet that the event will be very worthwhile. Roger is an Edenton boy who has gone far in the music world—another hometown boy who has made good. o Os course, a lot has been and is being said about the long spell of extremely hot weather we’ve been having for several weeks. But talk doesn’t help the situation The Methodist Church doesn’t have air-conditioning, so that some comment about the hot weather was made in Mrs. W. E. Baker’s Sunday School Class. But “Bozie” Adams had a good comment, say ing that it wasn’t a bit hotter in the /•!«« room than it was at his home. And then an old-timer asked what the folks did years ago when there was no air-condition ing and women wore long panties with ruffles, dresses down to their »nUw and two or three petticoats. But thing, have changed if you ask me. Now some of ’em parade around with hardly any clothes on. o Some painters were painting at the Meth odist parsonage early this week. Near the end of the day they were ringing wet from perspiration as they were getting ready to quit for the day. Preacher Earnhardt hap pened along at the time and asked them if they thought it was hot enough for the paint to dry or if he should turn the furnace on. You guess the answer he got. o It’s so nice to hear from Herald sub scribers when they renew their subscrip tion to the paper. Just the other day Ber nice V.. DaU, who lives in Franklin, Va., sent in her check and had this to say: “I each week IfTfeel ~T r i ■‘y v « « ♦ ") ] I Continued from Page 1 mum wage and thereby become tax payers. However, it appears to be another pro gram overloaded at the top. There are 30 people now connected with New Ca reers here. This means 20 per cent of these are white collar workers. Is it necessary to have a director, deputy director, two counselors, book keeper and secretary to make 24 people first class citizens? Former President Dwight Eisenhower did it with one sen tence in a speech. He said all Ameri cans are first class citizens and that didn’t cost the taxpayers much at all. New Careers may be the salvation for 24 men and women and the livelihood for six others. Nevertheless, there ought to be a less expensive route to achieve ment of this goal. Lost and Found A 1966 graduate of John A. Holmes High School wants to get in touch with a thoughtful lady from Roanoke Rapids. Mrs. Ruth Mason, Box 2, Roanoke Rapids, has a class ring found at Sandy Point Beach about three weeks ago. She obtained it from a neighbor who found the ring and is interested in getting it to the rightful owner. Mrs. Mason said the owner can claim the ring by identifying the initials. She can be reached at 537-6572. Conference Slated The Evangelism Committee of the Chowan Baptist Association is sponsor ing an Evangelism Conference on Mon day at the Rocky Hock Baptist Church. Rev. Don Summers, outstanding evange list from Bristol, England, will be one of the guest speakers. Mr. Summers has probably spoken to more people face to face than any other preacher in Britain today. He worked as an associate evangelist with Dr. Billy Graham, notably for 10 months with the Earls Court Crusade in 1966. He has traveled widely in the United States arid Canada and has taken missionary cru sades in Spain and Portugal. There will be two sessions, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The afternoon session begins at 3 o’clock and will feature Rev. Junius Foster, pastor of the Thalia Lynn Baptist Church, Vir ginia Beach, Va.; William Lamb, asso ciate in the Department of Evangelism, N. C., Baptist State Convention, and Mr. Summers who will speak at both sessions. During the evening session, which be gins at 7:45 o’clock, Rev. B. G. Camp bell, pastor of Westwood Hill Baptist Church, Virginia Beach, Va., will bring the special music and will also give his testimony. Rev. George Cooke, pastor of Ballard’s Bridge Baptist Church, Ty ner, and Rev. Billy Presley, pastor of Reynoldson Baptist Church will read the Scriptures and lead the sessions in prayer. David C. Colburn, Minister of Music of Immanuel Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., will be the pianist for all music dur ing the conference. For the benefit of those who wish to attend both afternoon and evening ses sions, a hot, fried chicken dinner will be offered by the community ladies in addition to restaurants located near Rocky Hock. This conference provides an unusual spiritual opportunity for the people in this area and the invitation is open to all interested persons who would like to at tend. A nursery will be provided for in fants and pre-school children. WALKER PRINCIPAL Continued from Pago 1 rating shortly after school opens. , Another big change being made is in the seventh and eighth grades where stu dents will be departmentalized. They will change classes for different subjects in the same manner as high school stu dents. He says this will improve in struction. Kinion said he is dedicated to provide the best education possible for all the children in the school. “I do not foresee any problems with the makeup of the school’s student body and with the facilities we have, along with the outstanding faculty, this should be a very productive year,” he says. PROPER ZONING Continued from Pago 1 of unproper subdivision and improve ment of land. The required controls to prevent the abuse of your property rights and pro mote community pride and appearance, zoning and subdivision regulations, can be an insurance policy for property own ers, investors, and the town. The nature ACADEMY ASSURED; GRADES 1-4 THIS YEAR Continued from Pago 1 He also said the academy should stress excellence in education. Evans said the board members want Chowan Academy to be an asset to Cho wan County. While Rocky Hock Com munity children get first chance to en roll, Evans said he is confident sufficient space is available to accommodate all in Chowan County who want to enter. “If we don’t have enough room here we’ll USE LASSIFIED DS TO BUY,SELL,SWAP RENT OR HIRE CONSTIPATED?
