We should always be in an attitude of harmony with the Infinite Father, preserv ing an attitude to love and tolerance to ward all humanity. O God. teach ns to pear to be sdll and know that Then ara God. Scrooge Lives Ebenezer Scrooge lives. And long before the snow flies he is going to put Santa out of busi ness. When Congress ordered that the Post Office Department cut employment back to the June 30, 1966 level, Postmaster General Marvin Watson retaliated by announcing that 347 small town post offices would be closed dur ing August, 260 on August 2, 97 more on August 30. One of these is located at San ta, Idaho. Scrooge is going to squeeze Santa out of business. Mr. Watson has a prOud repu tation as a very shrewd politi cian. He is also a very good mathematician. He has reported that 83,238 positions in the Post Office Department would have to be eliminated if he complied with the requirements of the Con gress. One supposes that 347 of those jobs will be abolished by closing 347 small post offices, including Santa, Idaho. That’s a good bureaucratic beginning, since a nominal number of votes are influenced. Santa, Idaho, for example, has only 50 persons. Never mind if it had handled sev eral million pieces of Christmas mail over the years, with the townspeople pitching in to help. We have a hunch that the Santa office will stay open, Mr. Scrooge notwithstanding. The pressure will intensify as we near the 25th of December; and if that fails there is an alterna tive solution before Congress which is more important to all ages, young and old. The Commission on Postal Or ganization has recommended elimination of political (and bu reaucratic) control of jobs in the postal service and the crea tion of a special corporation to administer the postal operation. The proposed corporation would consist of a nine-man board of directors, six to be named hy the President of the United States, the Senate confirming, and the remaining three members would be chosen bv the board itself. This would bring private enter prise know-how and efficient management principles into the operation of our mail system. “Each year.” said the commis sion report, “it (the Post Office) slips further behind the rest of the economy in service, in effici ency and in meeting its resnonsi bilities as an employer ...” It didn’t slip this vear. Scrooge Watson kicked it off its feet. Noted and Passed Spring Housecleaning: De fense Secretary Clark Clifford declined an offer to have $250,- 000 worth of interior decorating work performed on his office. But spring housecleaning has been going ahead across town at the Interior Department’s Bu reau of Mines. Congressman H. R. Gross reports that, “There, $20,188.07 has been spent for fresh paint, rugs, drapes, furni ture and lighting for the direc tor’s office. Included in this is $1,500 for the services of an in terior decorator. Although the director’s office was already equipped with six expensive ori ental rugs, wall-to-wall carpet ing had to he installed and now the oriental rugs will be laid right on top of the new carpet ing. Rug-on-rug is said to be the latest fashion in Washington these days ... ” j Ueard&Seen “By Buff" R “A Tree Grows In Brooklyn’’ (ua noth ing on us, for we have e tree growing in one of the storm sewers. At the intake of the sewer on East Church Street at the Post Office driveway « tree is now grow ing so that it is trying to get through the grate. Maybe we should let Art Carney know about it, far it might be a good place for him to rest in the shade. o According to the crowd at Elizabeth City Thursday night to watch the Edenton Aces do battle with the Elizabeth City Yellow Jackets, it appeared as though the whole works from Edenton was on hand. De spite tiie pre-season dope that the Aces will be on the weak side this season, they threw a terrible scare in the Yellow Jack ets’ camp hy leading a goodly portion of the game 7-6. However, near the end of the game the Jackets managed to squeeze over a touchdown making the final score 12-7, when a lot of football dopsters pre dicted the Aces would be defeated by at least three touchdowns. So that either the Aces played a bang-up game or else the Jackets played a sorry game. However, it was nip and tuck the whole way through, so that it was an interesting game even if the Edentonians came home with the short end of the score. This Friday night the Aces will lock horns with Northampton High on the latter’s gridiron with the first home game scheduled for September 20, when the Aces will meet the Williamston Green Wave on Hicks Field. o—— One of the local quartet of Alaskan “tourists” arrived home Monday, Ernest Kehayes having traveled back on a com mercial flight. The next ones expected home are Doc Dick Hardin and Joe Thor ud. Preacher George Holmes, who is vital ly interested in the Episcopal mission in Minto, decided to remain a while longer, so maybe he’s having a little trouble in finding the snow ball he promised to bring me. Anyway, from reports, the quartet had a wonderful trip to Alaska and as one of ’em said, “We sure have seen something of America.” o Visitors at the Bufflap home Monday were Mr. and Mrs. George Wilman of Bal timore, Md. They were on their way to the camping site at Oregon Inlet, where they have spent several vacations and like it. Mr. Wilman has an Apache camper and is so enthused over it that I’m tempted to spend a night with them—that is if the mosquitoes do not plan to do the same thing. o Again last week a few subscribers sent notes in connection with renewal of their subscription to The Herald. Said Douglas Sexton from Winston-Salem: “It’s good to find The Herald in my mail box each Friday.” Then Philip <Big Boy) McMullan, Jr., from Chapel Hill wrote: “Dear Buff—Don’t let the sports news slip just because all of you in Edenton already know the results. Gus Hughes, Jim Butts of Hertford and I look forward to The Herald coverage. Tell Bud Anvburn I like the combination of the new and old format. Best of luck to you and Mrs. Bufflap.” Thomas Wilder, who we remember as a good footba. player for the Aces and who was just about as mischievous as a boy can be, lives at Louisville, Ky., and on his note said, "Please say hello to Mr. Bufflap.” It’s so nice to hear a word Or two from sub scribers who, it seems such a short timer were youngsters in Edenton. o Due to being out of town, here’s one who missed helping and eating fish at the Shriners’ fish fry Saturday. However, from reports it was even more successful than the first Shriners’ fish fry last year. Well, here’s hoping all who ate the fish enjoyed them, but better still the satisfaction of knowing that all the profits will go toward helping crippled children in the Shriners’ hospitals. Rowan Man Dies One man drowned and three com panions in a boat—including two chil dren—were rescued Sunday afternoon in Albemarle Sound, near Sandy Point Beach. Charlie Lee Morgan, 50, Route 1, Mt Ulla, was identified as the victim. The boating mishap occurred about 1:30 P. M., when a wave overturned the craft, throwing the four occupants into the water. Gustav Koch of Suffolk, and his two children, Glenn Michael and Beverly Darlene, were rescued due to quick action of Don Bell, Sandy Point manager, and two motorists who leaped from the bridge into the water. Lt. Col. Charles S. Sarkiss of Wash ington, D. C., and James Roy Manning of Plymouth dived from the bridge and rescued the children who had been held afloat by Morgan. Edenton-Chowan Rescue Squad an swered the caD along with employees of N. C. Commercial Fisheries. Mr. Morgan, a native of Rowan Coun ty, is survived by his wife, Queenie Eliz abeth Koch Morgan; five brothers and four sisters. The body was transferred from Willi lorilWl Home to Chm. Crow (o, . " A ' iikiJii MiflMM'Me 'nHWiTfrOri , • . -i' ..... 11, Continued from Pago 1 not knowing exactly what to say about your election. Os course, these days the papers, the radio and TV are full of the Czechoslovakian case isn’t this awful and frightening? We are rather) scared of what will come next: Romania, Yugo slavia and then? It is not a long step over the East German border to us. You can’t trust the communists in anyway as everyone has seen it now in Prague. A school principal from Virginia, with whom I spoke, was convinced the Ameri can troops would fight the East Germans or Russians when they cross the border. But do we really want to become a battlefield again? Os course 98 percent of the West German population hates communism and is afraid of it. But with the masses of troops the Eastern Block could bring into the country is there really any chance to fight them back? I don’t know, and I don’t think we would get much help either from NATO, or from the U.N. Well, we probably can’t do anything but wait and see and hope for the best.” 22 Nominated Twenty-two men have been chosen as nominees for position on three com munity ASCS committees in Chowan County.

Draper, North Carolina su pervisor for Community Action offices, will be principal speaker Sunday during Community Action Day in the 10-county Albemarle Area. Earl Jones, CAD chairman, said the event will begin at 3:30 P. M., in D. F. Walker High School gymtorium. In addition to the speech by Draper, the program includes a Gospel Hour with Aces Going To Northampton Friday Edenton Aces Journey to Northampton Friday night to open defense of their 2-A Albemarle Conference grid crown. Coach Marion Kirby has drilled the squad hard this week in preparation for the game after the Aces dropped an ex citing contest to highly regarded Eliza beth City Thursday, 12-7. The Jackets, playing in a 3-A confer ence, proved too powerful for the Aces in a game at Elizabeth City attended by more than 4,000 fans. Coach Kirby’s experienced line, al though greatly out-weighed, contained the Jackets most of the night while his inexperienced backfield showed signs of greatness. Quarterback Earl Chesson called an outstanding game and was a standout in running as well as passing. The first EC touchdown came midway in the third quarter after the two teams had played to a scoreless deadlock at halftime. Tony Dickerson picked up 15 yards around end to set up a five-yard TD run by Thomas Simpson. The alert Aces blocked the extra point attempt. Later in the period, the alertness of the Aces set up a score by Chesson. A [USE WSSIfIED ns.. . A ! APARTMENTS for rent. Call Britton Byrum. Phone 482-2191 or 482-3262. Aug 1 tic <X>NSTIPATED?
