THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 7. 1968 ~ V ” A UFT FOR TODAY ID Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing; and a wise man’s heart discemeth both time and judgment.— ‘ Ecclesiastes 8:5. The perfect formula for safety in every situation of life is obedience to the Divine Will. Teach us obedience. O God. and help us to know afresh that Thou art a loving Father, wishing only good for Thy children everywhere. COMPARISON SHOPPING All of us have seen detailed comparisons showing the number of man-hours necessary to earn the purchase price of food and clothing items in this country as campared with the USSR and the Iron Curtain countries. And there is no comparison. Now it is possible to make a general comparison of the num ber of man-hours required to do the shopping once the buyer has the money in hand. The Ber " wick,. Pennsylvania, Enterprise reported recently on a giant new super market which has opened in Warsaw, Poland. It’s a show place with aisles and aisles of display cases, a shining cafeteria and coffee shop, lounges for rest ing tired feet, and all the evi dences of comfort for the shop per. But. like all Communist wonderlands, the sugar-coating is refined deception. The number of shoppers al lowed to enter is strictly limited. Experience proved that shoplift in & became 3 serious problem when too many shoppers crowd ed thp aisles. That has been solved by limiting the number of shopping carts available to Ivan and his mate. It is common to find long lines of customers waiting to obtain one of these passports for entry. It doesn’t take much imagina tion to hear the screams of out rage that would greet such a nracHee at the local food center in this country. The screams would die away quickly, because the customers would take their business elsewhere. In Warsaw, Poland, it can’t be done. There is no other place to go to do the shopping. Those who gain entry to this culinary inner sanctum that the Communists have built find the choices they may make limited, and more often than not there are no choices if essentials are involved. The prices reflect the power of total ffovernment con trol. The craftsmanship and ouality is what you’d expect from underpaid workmen who have no reason for pride in their workmanship nor incentive to do a iob well. Standing in line to buy is a chore that consumes hours of time for Iron Curtain house wives and homemakers. Doing the famjlv shopping in this country takes only a fraction of the time it takes Ivan’s wife. That’s another blessing of our way of life and one not appreci ated as it should be. H Sale Os Bond Off The sale of U. S. Savings Bonds in Chowan County is falling short of the projected goal for 1968, according to R. Graham White, volunteer chairman. White reports sales were $3,473 dur ing September. For the year, cumula tive sales amounted to $66,483, which is 64.4 per cent of the county’s $103,200 quota for 1968. Meanwhile, in the state, combined sales of savings bonds and freedom shares during the month showed the lar gest percentage of increase for any month this year when compared with the comparable month a year ago. The state’s quota of $68,800,000 has been 70.4 per cent Mfilled. UearJ&Seen “By Buff" Jack McMullan on Saturday wrote a let ter to Emperor Haile Selassie in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, which follows: “Your Majesty: “I am not a prophet or the son of a prophet, but on one occasion 1 did prophesy correctly. In 1919, while a member of the North Carolina Legisla ture, USA, a friend of mine asked that I give him my opinion as to the ultimate outcome of World War I, then in action. To his request I made the following reply, viz: ‘There will be but one real winner in the conflict. All the major powers will suffer the loss of millions of lives and bil lions of dollars in economic loss. In a dec ade all the major power rulers will have ' been replaced. Os the leaders, one small power will come out the sole victor. Haile Selassie will have his lost empire restored in all its glory and he will rule his empire without outside interference for years to come.’ “I congratulate you on your long and successful leadership of your empire. I saw you on TV when you visited USA re cently and marvelled at your spirit and vigor. I have one thing in common with you—lognevity. I was elected Mayor of the Colonial Capital of North Carolina, USA, in 1907. Today I am the only living survivor of all those who voted in that election. “Cordially and respectfully yours, "J. H. McMULLAN.” Jack in the past has written letters and received replies from a number of promi nent people of the world, including Prime Ministers Churchill, Eden and McMillan of England, Charles .De Gaulle of France and lan Smith of Rhodesia, all of which he prizes very highly. o In submitting the letter Jack wrote to Haile Selassi, Jack asked me to check on the spelling of some of the words. “1 might have made a few mistakes,” he said, “but I have a bit of consolation when I’m re minded that Abraham Lincoln made 47 mistakes in his Gettysburg address which had to be corrected before it was printed.” o An interesting and pleasant visitor in The Herald office Tuesday afternoon was B. G. Coates of New Castle, Pa. Mr. Coates is now 89 years old and was on his way to Florida to visit relatives. He lived in Edenton back about 1907 when the Nor folk Southern Railroad bridge was con structed across Albemarle Sound. He was a foreman on that project and said that while it’s been many years ago, he still has a warm spot in his heart for Edenton. Though he had many friends while in Edenton, he said so far as he knows, all have gone to their reward save Jack Mc- Mullan, an<} he said he planned to call Jack on the phone before leaving on his south ern journey sometime Wednesday. o A strange cigar appeared on my desk Wednesday morning. After a few ques tions, I learned that it came from Marvin Shaw. Marvin’s wife presented him with a daughter in Albemarle Hcspital, Elizabeth City, on Monday. Congratulations, Marvin. o Deciding to visit relatives in Hagers town, Md., the Missus and I suddenly packed up and left the latter part of last week. As we approached the city limits, Maryland State police and Hagerstown po licemen lined the streets and kept traffic moving. It wasn’t that it was to greet us, but the fact that George Wallace came to town at about the same time. Now with tihe election over and the clock again running and striking on top of the Court House, maybe things will return to normal. No doubt the three candidates for President were responsible for the record vote polled in the election, so that they should be given the credit for making a lot of John Q. Publics vote-conscious, which is as it Should ‘be. Then the Court House clock striking off the hours is about as welcome as the news was to Richard Nix on when he learned that he had won the election for President. o Edenton’s Aces will pull down the curtain of the regular football season Friday night on Hicks Field. The Aces will lock horns with the Gates County boys and, of course, the Edenton boys will try to wind up the schedule with a victory. Anyway, the play ers, coaches, band members and cheerlead ers will be glad to see a large crowd on hand for the game. Bloodmobile Visit Short Os Quota Monday’s visit by the Red Cross Bloodmobile netted 76 pints of blood, a very disappointing quantity since the need to meet a 140-pint quota was so great. Ron Wall, chairman of the Jaycee sponsored project, said of the blood do nated, 24 pints were given by employees of The Carter’s Ink Company. Five of those who volunteered to give blood were rejected. The quota of 140 pints was established because the last visit fell 20 pints short of the 100-pint goal. An additional 20 pints was sought to replace blood used by Henry Cuthrell, local businessman who has been seriously ill. Wall said the next visit of the blood mobile will be sometime in 1969. Elsewhere in The Chowan Herald is a list of donors. Continued from Pago 1 along The Public Parade that Mr. Col trane first met Bob Harrell. He was immediately impressed with the sincere manner in which Bob went about his dut ies, as unpopular as they might have been. Throughout the state he moved in the shadow of Mr. Colrane, calming troubled waters without fanfare. While the Good Neighbor Council has experienced rocky times in the General Assembly, it is recognized as a: vital arm of state government. For, it is at the conference table and not in the streets that problems will be solved. It is through good faith negotiations that “long, hot summers” will no longer raise their ugly head in Tar Heelia. Bob Harrell knows how to get results. The state is fortunate that he will be come interim chairman of the North Ca rolina Good Neighbor Council. Bob Scott would be fortunate in having him in his administration. Work Discussed By Arts Council Activities of Chowan Arts Council, past and future, were discussed during a recent meeting of the group which is promoting culture in the community. Mrs. Thomas Chears, president, said the council plans to charter a bus to Raleigh on December 20 to permit chil dren to see the “Nutcracker” perform ance by the School of the Arts Ballet with the North Carolina Symphony. Council members agreed to sponsor instrumentalists for the annual Christ mas Concert of the Albemarle Choral Society to be given here December 9. The group will again sponsor an even ing concert by the North Carolina Little Symphony in the Spring. Mrs. Chears urged members to make every effort to attend the annual meet ing of the N. C. Community Arts Coun cils to be held during Culture Week De cember 6 in Charlotte. It was reported that the art display in Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library had proven popular with the Van Matre Col lection, first showing of the traveling exhibit from the N. C. Museum of Art entitled St. Leon Bouquet, three show ings by local artists, including the first one-man show of works by Mrs. Louise B. Dixon drawing much coiqpient. Also, art classes in oil painting are now underway with 16 enrolled and 34 students are taking ballet, under direc tion of Mavis Ray of East Carolina Uni versity. TWO VETERANS Continued from Pago 1 system and the money is to be paid from non-tax sources as they become avail able. Mrs. Lena M. Leary reported that Thomas H. Shepard had been appointed magistrate for Chowan County by Judge Walter Cahoon. He will replace Ralph Parrish in this post on December 1. Raymond Tarkington is the other magi strate here. Also, commissioners agreed to move the magistrate’s office to the first floor of the county office building. A discussion was also held concerning lighting in front of the courthouse. Chairman Bond was instructed to in vestigate a better system. The chairman read a letter from C. A. Benson concerning transfer of the food stamp program from Peoples Bank & Trust Company to First National Bank of Eastern North Carolina since the wel fare account is in that bank. Benson asked that as a condition for accepting the program First National be given one-half the county’s account as well as funds that will become available in the future. Commissioners considered the request “unreasonable” and took no action on changing the food stamp set-up. Murray Ashley, reporting for Edenton- Chowan Rescue Squad, said 26 calls were answered during October with op erational expenses being $290.35. The board accepted the resignation of Rhea L. Adams from the Albemarle Alcoholic and Mental Health Authority. Adams is moving from Chowan County. The following relief from taxes was granted: Leon J. O’Clair, $24.32; Richard A. Weyer, $14.40; and United Properties, $105.60; and $105.60 refund for last year. Discipline is something for every child to learn but the lesson requires a wise teacher. ** * * The danger in ignorance is that so many people have it without the least suspecting it •* * * If you take a man at the value he places on himself, you will probably rate him too high. Plans Developing For Holiday Event Edenton Jaycettes are moving ahead with their plans for another gala Christ mas Parade, to be held in downtown Edenton at 4 P. M., on December 3. Featured in the parade this year, along with Santa Claus, will be “Romper Room’s” Miss Connie, in real life, Mrs. Bert Hindmarsh, mother of two small children.
