A LIFT FOR TODAY
Let not mine enemies triumph over me.—
Psalm 25:2.
In the name of Christ we can cast out
inner enemies; outward foes we can leave
to God who will let right and justice pre
vail.
Merciful Father, wa thank The* that
Thou with Thy infinite power art on the
side of those that trust in Thee,
REAL CAUSE TO PROTEST
The Vietnam war protesters—
from hippy to college professor
to baby doctor —speak of Ameri
ca’s effort to defend South Viet
nam as immoral. The fact that
there is no similar protest of Ho
Chi Minh’s tens of thousands of
murders in the north, and his
thousands of terrorists murders
of some of South Vietnam’s fin
est citizens, implies that these
are not necessarily immoral acts.
These protesters must use a dic
tionary vastly different from
our own.
Ther* is one reasonable protest
that could be made, yet none has
voiced it. It is the criticism that
the government failed to heed
expert advice offered early in
; 1950.
William D. Pawley, who had
extensive business experience in
the Far East, and who served as
U. S. Ambassador to Peru and
Brazil, told a Senate committee
in 1960, under oath, that he had
been verv close to President Tru
man and that only six months be
fore the Korean War he told the
President that if he did not “sup
port with tremendous effort the
Nationalist movement . . . China
will be lost and you will have a
war on your hands in Burma,
Indochina, or Korea within one
year and you will either commit
America or you will lose Asia ...
There are millions . . . willing to
fight for their freedom who
don’t have enough to eat and
who can be recruited and made
into marvelous soldiers. You can
do it for 10 cents on the dollar to
what it would cost you if you do
have to use Americans.”
Well, we had Korea, where we
declined to win. We negotiated.
Now we have Vietnam, and we
are negotiating. On Formosa,
the Republic of China maintains
the largest and best-trained non-
Communist army in Asia. But
that armv is immobilized by the
Mutual Defense Treaty. South
Korea’s army, second in numbers
and training in all of Free Asia,
has furnished troops in South
Vietnam, but its main force is
required to defend against viola
tions of the armistice negotiated
in 1953.
Not one of the vociferous
critics has criticized the govern
ment of the United States for
failing to follow Pawley’s obvi
ously sound counsel to develop
a defense against Communism
manned by Asians —a course
which would negate the silly
claim that it is a war of color,
or race, or imperialism. Having
done so, we wouldn’t have 25.000
Americans dead in South Viet
(PoiPi. a budget deficit of
$425 billion.
The failure to heed Pawley is
a valid cause for protest.

H "By Buff”
An interesting visitor in The Herald of
fice early this week was James Vernon
White, who now lives at Itargo, Fla. Tom,
as I always called him, was working at
the old Edenton Daily News when I came
to Edenton back in 1923. Friend Tom, who
bettered himself by landing some sort of
government job in Washington, D. C., is
now retired and was telling me about the
wonderful fishing down in his neck of the
woods. After telling me about some of
his catches, which I took as a grain of
salt, he pulled out some pictures showing
him holding big bunches of groupers and
sheepshead. He has been trying to get me .
to visit him, and his visit this week, me
thinks, has made me one step nearer
spending part of a vacation at Largo.
Anyway, it was fun recalling some of the
happenings at the old Edenton Daily
News when R. G. Shackell was the big
boss.
o
At this writing it appears that the
weatherman is looking with favor on the
Chowan County Fair. Needless to say, a
group of persons have put in a lot of long
and hard work to stage the fair and, of
course they’re hoping that large crowds
will go out to see the exhibits and enjoy
some time on the midway.
o
In this week’s Herald you’ll see the new
1969 model automobiles advertised. It’s a
lot of fun and causes a lot of wishes to
look at new models, but if you don't want
to buy one, better not listen to the sales
men who say, “Get in and drive it a
little.” That’s about the best selling point
these salesmen have, and it’s sort of hard
to “break down” after driving one of the
new models.
o
With the feel of fall in the air, members
of the Methodist Men’s Club will begin
their monthly pickled herring breakfasts
at the church. The first one of the sea
son will be held next Saturday morning,
October 5. The “cooks” will have an
ample supply of herring on hand and will
be delighted to serve a large crowd. And,
by the way, a person can eat all they
want for one buck.
o
Chowan County Shriners were very
elated over the success of their recent fish
fry, as the result of which S9OO was turned
over for the Shriners’ crippled children’s
hospitals. A large facsimile of the check,
drawn by Mrs. Ruth Shackelford, is now
on display in Mitchener’s Pharmacy. And
with it are a number of pictures taken at
the hospitals. Take a look at them and
get a feeling of satisfaction that all who
cooperated in the fish fry not only got a
“square meal,” but also made a contribu
tion toward helping unfortunate children
to walk. Which goes to show that a heart
sometimes is bigger than a stomach. Take
a look in the Mitchener’s Pharmacy win
dow.
——o
Last week I gave credit where credit
was not due. I said the folks at First'Na
tional Bank of Eastern North Carolina had
taken off the hands of the clock at the
comer of their building. However, Chuck
Benson tells me the hands fell off of their
own accord. Anyway, Izzy Campen for
many years was the “clock maker go,”
but he’s passed from the scene. So that
Chuck would like to get up with some
body who can put the clock in p.oper op
eration. Anybody want the job? Well,
just contact Chuck Benson.
o
Again Edenton is losing two very valu
able families. It’s because Mr. and Mrs.
Britton Byrum are moving to Norfolk and
Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Dale will be making
their home in Greenville. Britton will be
missed by the Rotarians, where he has
been sergeant-at-arms, as well as the en
tertainment he provided on numerous oc
casions with his little son. Then Rudolph
will be missed Friday nights at the foot
ball games, where he has called the game
over the loudspeaker. Rudolph has also
taken an active part in various civic af
fairs, so that Edenton will miss these .two
families very much. Here’s wishing them
happiness and success in their new loca
tions.
o
Again we hear of an Edenton boy mak
ing a name for himself. A. Ray Roger
son has been promoted to assistant vice
president of Cameron-Brown Company,
mortgage brokers at Charleston, S. C. Ray
will be remembered as the tall end for
Edenton Aces on some of their best foot
ball teams, when he had the knack of
snatching a lot of passes.
Report On Trip
Four Edentonians, Dr. Richard Hard
in, Joseph Thorud, Ernest Kehayes and
Rev. George B. Holmes, have recently
returned from a visit to Saint Barnabas’
Mission, Minto, Alaska.
The story of this Athabascan Indian
Village known to Rev. Frederick B.
Drane, who spent some time in the area
and of which is now in charge of Rev.
Thomas C. Kehayes will be presented.
It is hoped that Mrs. Kehayes, wife
of the missionary and nurse for the
village will be present to answer ques
tions. She is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Er
nest Kehayes with her son, Martin, in
Pembroke Circle.
Slides will be shown and if delivered
in time some artifacts will be displayed.
The artifacts are now aboard the plqn»
forced down by the weather “somewhere
in Alaska” where repairs are being made
before its return to Edenton.
Any interested persons are cordially
invited to attend with the assurance that
die presentation will be contained with
in the period of an hour. The time is
7:30 Sunday. The place is the Parish
House of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church
on Gale Street.
Continued from Page 1
instructed Town Administrator W. B.
Gardner to get an appointment with the
Local Government Commission at which
time the town will receive direction as
to the best course of action to take. It
is a safe bet that the answer will be:
If the people want to improve the town
let them express themselves at the ballot
box.
Getting citizens to approve bonds to
provide services to others which they
already enjoy isn’t always the easiest
thing in the world. It took two trips
to the polls to get approval of a new
sewage treatment plant and a like num
ber of jaunts to secure a new hospital.
The projects which are now on the
drawing board are equally as important
as the other two. Edenton and Chowan
County are enjoying steady growth and
water and sewer systems are necessary
evils where the town treasury is concern
ed. But they are services which must
be kept in step with others that make
our community attractive.
Need Assistance
Fire destroyed the home and contents
of a Negro family near Valhalla Sunday
morning and they are now in dire need
of assistance.
Mrs. Ruth Conger of Chowan County
Welfare Department says Celia Burke,
her father and two teen-age children are
now trying to secure enough household
furnishings to begin housekeeping anew.
They also need clothing.
There is a 16-year-old boy and 13-
year-old girl in the family. Both the
mother and daughter wear about size
12 dress. The man is about average
size.
Those who have items can contact the
family at the home of Wheeler Holley,
Route 1, Edenton.
WILLIAM H. BUNCH
Continued from Pace 1
years, include: Jackson, Copeland, Pur
year, W. Earl Smith, Thomas H. Shep
ard and Walter Noneman. Directors
serving their second year are: Wesley
Chesson, Kermit Layton, Chuck Ben
son, Jack Douglas, Evans and Bunch.
W. E. Bond, Jesse Harrell and John A.
Mitchener, Jr., are also board members.
Ray A. Killian of Charlotte, vice presi
dent, personnel and public relations, Belk
Stores, will be principal speaker for the
banquet.
A buffet dinner will be served at 7:30
P. M., and Douglas is chairman of the
banquet committee.
Bunch served as membership commit
tee chairman last year and nearly $15,-
000 was realized. He has been active
in Edenton Jaycees for five years as well
as Edenton Baptist Church.
He has been treasurer of the Cancer
Society and Easter Seal campaign as
well as working on numerous other com
munity projects, including the Varsity
Club and formation of the new Quarter
back Club.
The new president is married to the
former Imogene Rogerson and they have
three sons. The Bunchs live on West
Queen Street Extended.
ACES BEATEN
Continued treat Paco 1
ter the end had taken a pass from
Wynne within the five yard line.
It was in the fourth quarter that the
Aces began putting plays together that
resulted in two TD’s, one being called
back. It was a pass from A1 Partin to
John Sutton in the end zone. An illegal
receiver was downfield and the score
was nullified.
Only minutes later the Aces took over
on their 36 and in three plays scored.
It included a nice run by Chesson and
a fine run by Leary after receiving a
pass from Partin.
Coach Marion Kirby juggled his line
up, including putting lineman Tom Cross
in the backfield, in order to set up an
inside running game. It didn’t jell, how
ever.
Committeemen
The election of ASCS Community
Committeemen has been completed and
the ballots tabulated.
The chairman, vice chairman, and reg
ular member of the three committees
were meeting at the county convention
Wednesday. The election of one county
