THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12. 1968. A UFT FOR TODAY Pnyna now ... let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be as scar let, they shall be white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.—lsaiah 1:18. A casual change-in the way of life is not enough—we must be purged and cleansed of sin through belief in the Saviour. Then, if possible, we must make right the wrong we have done. May our nation, our Father, cry out for Thao, the Living God. Than through Thy indwelling presence, shall we find Thee and be willing to tell the world of Thy redeem lng lore. SULTAN OF SWAT It was 41 years ago this sea son that baseball’s most legend ary character set baseball’s most legendary record. In 1927, George Herman “Babe” Ruth hit his famous 60 home runs in one season. No slugger has attained that feat since. In a season ex tended by an additional eight games, in 1961, the then Yankee right fielder Roger Maris hit 61, but only after passing his 154th game. So the Babe is still the legend. But there is a modern-day Sul tan of Swat who has gone one up on even the Babe, at least in our book. True, Babe hit a lifetime total of 714 homers, and not even wonderful Willie Mays seems destined to reach that total. But it must be remembered that the Babe went to bat something in the order of 400 or so times a season. He could figure on a reasonable opportunity to get his pitch at least once in the course of three or four trips to the plate. But what of a less prolific long ball hitter? Julian Javier of the St. Louis Cardinals had hit a grand total of 57 home runs in eight years in the majors, according to our almanac. That’s an average of seven per season. Last year he belted one four-bagger every 37 times at bat. Mark Sandusky, of McKees port, Pa., doesn’t really have any concept of this kind of lopsided statistic. Mark is only six years old and he only knows that the Dominican-born second baseman came to see him—and promised him a home run. That night, Ju lian Javier hit one, in the fourth inning, against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The game ended 1-0. Mark may never know the thrill of legging out any hit even in the Little League. His legs were crushed in an automobile accident. Ru<- thanks to Javier, little Mark is 1-for-l. Nobody loved the kids more than the Babe. And they return ed that love. How he would have applauded Julian Javier’s feat! Quotas Favored Producers of upland cotton and peanuts In Chowan County have approved mar keting quotas for the 1969 crop, accord ing to A. C. Griffin, chairman, ASCS county committee. The preliminary returns from the growers’ referendum, conducted by mail during the period of December 2-6, show a favorable vote with 46 per cent of the 485 cotton farmers voting. Forty-six per cent of the 631 peanut growers also voted in the referendum on that crop and the majority voted “yes”. At least two-thirds of the growers in each referendum must approve quotas if they are to become effective in the national referendum. The cotton vote is for the 1969 crop while peanut quotas were approved for 1969, 1970 and 1971 crops. Price sup port wffl be who comply 99000090000000000990909090099099090000009> &Seen ’9090099090000000900090099009000990009000/ Just wonderful! That’s about the best comment to be made regarding the Albe marle Choral Society's Christmas concert in Edenton Baptist Church Monday night. Usually this sort program is stretched out too long, but Monday night's concert seemed all to short, for the music was won derful and this year’s event was even more delightful due to the East Carolina Uni versity String Ensemble and the Elizabeth City High School Chorus.. The quintet of musicians performed like professionals— and so did every member of the chorus. It was a very wonderful performance un der the direction of Dr. Clifford Bair. One thing certain, the Baptist Church was filled with music from top to bottom—and music ol the first class at that. - o Edenton friends will be interested to learn that Dr. Lloyd L. Hobbs of Blacks burg, Va., was recently honored for “merit orious service” by the Virginia Easter Seal Society for Crippled Children and Adults at the group’s annual convention. Dr. Hobbs, a former Edenton boy, was present ed a certificate as “the outstanding volun teer for 1968.” He arranged for dental care for children and sparkplugged a move ment to obtain a dental chair for Camp Eas ter Seal near New Castle. o Louis Francis raises quite a lot of arti chokes and while digging some of ’em the ether day, he came across about the biggest one he has ever seen. He brought it to The Herald office to prove its size and weight, which was about two pounds. o Sgt. Kenny Williams, now stationed in Vietnam, sent a short poem to The Herald, which he says is for the most wonderful person a man could have for a wife—Mrs. Patricia Williams, who lives on Route 2, Edenton. Here ’tis: LOVED ONES MEAN A LOT Across many miles of ocean, Vietnam is the spot; Who knows th/i outcome Os this one lonely spot? We work, we sweat. It’s more Chan we can stand; We’re not the convicts But defenders of our land. We’re members bf the Armed Forces, Getting very little pay, Defending people with millions For a lousy 2% a day. Living with many memories, Waiting to be with our loved ones, Hoping all the while That they love us still. When we die and go to heaven The people will say: Let the boys from Vietnam through For they have spent their time in HELL. o Another note came from Mrs. Gapie Whigham stating that she and her husband, Maj. Winston E. Whigham, are going to North Africa about January 1. She asked to have her address changed, saying, “I’m sure we will enjoy my hometown paper in Tripoli, Libya,” o Windows in Edenton’s stores are chock full of timely merchandise and displays, and I’ve been told that they are doing very satisfactory business. And in looking in the windows, by far the most attractive is one of the Belk-Tyler windows, where an arrangement of boys and girls are singing Christmas carols. The window is worth stopping and watching for a while. o Local Masons had an election of officers at their meeting Thursday night, but nary a cigar was passed out. Os course, the new officers were congratulated, but a lot of times such officers need sympathy instead. Anyway Hiram Weeks was elected new master to succeed Philip Robey. o At this season of the year a fellow must be almost a super man to remember all the parties and carrying-on in connection with Christmas. The Chowan Scottish Rite Club will have its Christmas party Friday night at the club house when every member is asked to bring a covered dish. Like all covered dish meals, there’s bound to be a big variety of food and even enough to feed another group. Then the Rotary Club will have its Christmas party Thursday night, December 19. It will be held at the Country Club at 7 o’clock, but President McDonald Dixon says Rotarians can gather at 6 o’clock in order to get ready for the party. HOLLOWELL NAMED Continued from Pag* 1 cerning purchase of Waff Bros, property on Edenton Bay. Councilmen J. D. Elliott and H. G. Quinn were appointed to a committee to discuss the matter with the property owners. Parks and Hollowell were appointed by Mayor Mitchener to a committee to study life insurance bids submitted by five firms. Council this year has money budgeted to insure town employees. Parks called on individual councilmen and other interested citizens to write Gov.-Elect Bob Scott in support of May or Mitchener for the post of Highway Commissioner. Town Administrator W. B. Gardner said no meeting has been held between the town and Norfolk & Carolina Tele phone Company concerning ownership of utility poles. He was authorized to continue to withhold payment of addi tional telephone bills until such a deter mination is made. Gardner also reported that the park ing lot on Eden Street is now ready for use. There are 23 spaces in this lot next to Jackson Radio & TV. In response to a question by Mayor Mitchener, Fire Chief W. J. Yates said the department has experienced some difficulty in getting into Broad Street from the station but he felt motorists would soon get used to the fire signals. Judge Privott Hears Variety Os District Court Cases A variety of cases, ranging from illegal duck hunting to making a bomb threat, were heard during Tuesday’s session of Chowan County District Court here. Judge W. S. Privott presided and So licitor Wilton Walker prosecuted the docket. Carroll Smith, McKay Washington and McCoy Winslow were prosecuted for taking game birds between sunset and one-half hour before sunrise. Judge Privott continued prayer for judgment in each case upon payment of costs. Ralph Boone McCrery of Colerain entered a plea of guilty to making a false report concerning a destructive de vice. The call was made last month to John A. Holmes High School. During a lengthy lecture to the 18- year-old youth, Judge Privott called the act a “foolish thing”, “stupid”, and “silly”. He sentenced the defendant to five days in jail, suspended upon pay ment of $25 fine and costs and not drive for 60 days. (In Bertie County District Court on Monday, J. Scott Harrell, Jr., 17, of Edenton, entered a guilty plea to the same offense and was given a similar sentence). Other action taken during the court session included: Floyd Pitchford, issuance of worth less check, 30 days, suspended upon pay ment of $lO fine and costs and make restitution of $5.40 check. (Ihr public Continued from Pag* 1 were chosen to go to Elizabeth City on Sunday afternoon for the Christmas Con cert of The Albemarle Choral Society. It was well worth the trouble. This hub of the Albemarle is well es tablished as one of the best places in Tar Heelia to live, work and play. The cultural advantages play a significant role in this and even a newcomer can receive the compliments with justifiable pride. Bunch Re-Elected Lloyd C. Bunch, chairman of the lo cal board of Soil and Water Conserva tion District Supervisors, was re-elected for a three-year term beginning Janu ary 1, 1969, in the supervisor’s election held December 6. Sanford Bass was opposing Bunch for the seat. Bunch, a supervisor for over 20 years, will serve on the local board of super visors with H. Fahey Byrum and Joe Webb, Jr., conducting the affairs of the district. Supervisors are sworn public officials, charged with numerous responsibilities in connection with the operation of thl? District and its program. The local election committee would like to express its appreciation for those that assisted with the election. It is the support of the public that makes our Soil and Water Conservation District program here one of the most active and strongest in the State.
