THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 20. 1969. A LIFT FORTODAY Blessed is he whose transgression is for given.—Psalm 32:1. Forgiveness is repentance and confession on our part plus the mercy and grace of God who is always ready to welcome us back into the fold. Merciful God blot out our Iransgreesions and bring us back to Thao that wo may ever abide in Thy love. NOTED AND PASSED On The Supreme Court: Re cent rulings by the Supreme Court “make the trial of a felony twice as long and twice as diffi cult.” These are the words of the ranking Jurist in the State of New York, Justice Saul S. Streit. “We spend more time deciding whether the new legalisms pro pounded by the United States Supreme Court in these decisions have been complied with than we do to determine the guilt or inno cence of the defendant.” The Green Berets Victory: When the John Wayne filpi based on the Green Berets in Vietnam was released, the critics panned it unmercifully. Hollywood and Broadway circles predicted it would be a financial disaster. To date it has earned almost sll million, and ranks as one of the most successful movies in the last five years. Says John Wayne, whose brand of patriotism is the target for the gliberal reviewers: “The ri diculously one-sided criticism of the picture only made people more conscious of it and they are proving that the reviews were not very effective. “Most critics reviewed the war and not the picture ...” One Green Beret’s Escape: Maj. James N. Rowe described his escape after five years as a prisoner with this understate ment: “The Vietcong were in one area and I got one guard to sep arate with me. At that one point the guard became unconscious and I got to the chopper.” Student Strike: Japan’s giant Tokyo University has suffered a student strike of six months’ du ration and is contemplating clos ing entirely for one year. Said Tokyo President Ichiro Kato: “I regretfully see no prospect that we can hold entrance examina tions for next year. We recog nize the grave impact this will have on our society ... At the same time, it would be even more irresponsible to admit new ap plicants to a university where no education can be conducted.” A Drawing Rights Bracelet: “One need not carry cynicism as far as those who say that it will be many a long day before a wife will greet with delight the hus band who brings her a necklace or a bracelet made of Special Drawing Rights. All the same, this is a vivid way of pointing out how misleading it is to repre sent these Special Drawing Rights—or paper gold—as they are sometimes called—as a kind of substitute for monetary gold.” —Dr. Samuel Schweizef, Chair man of the Board, Swiss Bank Corporation. If you haven’t been going to church lately, you might try it. And if you put something in the collection plate, it will make you fed better. Tile business of developing one’s per sonality is more important than that of regulating others. If you are smarter than anyone else •round you, keep it to yourself. 10//ear/&Seen ml uB ? tofT * - At the last meeting of Chowan County Commissioners the dog nuisance once again cropped up. Every now and then the dog nuisance has been brought before the Com missioners as well as Town Councilmen and, as in all previous complaints, no ac tion was taken.- Why? Well, its a very “hot potato” to dealt, with, for in some cases it would be better to mess with a fellow’s wife than to mess with his dog. Like death and paying taxes, it looks as though we’ll always have a dog problem. o With the report that Mayor John Mit chener will not seek re-election in the foithcoming municipal election, and the announcement that Luther Parks, Council man from the Fourth Ward and now mayor pro tern, too, will not run again, it looks as though two other veteran Edenton offi cials will join me as “has beens.” But both the Mayor and “Goose” Parks have given a lot of time and effort in their re spective positions, so that it might be mighty hard to elect someone to fill their shoes. But, come election time, no doubt there’ll be a string of candidates. o It was distressing news to hear that Mr. and Mrs. McDonald Dixon were seriously injured in an automobile accident in Georgia while they were on their way to Florida. Both were hospitalized, so that Mackie will hardly be able to attend the Rotary Club’s meeting today, of which he is president. And, incidentally, as presi dent of the club, he is now facing a prob lem which he wishes could be solved. His problem is to get some Edenton lady (or man for that matter) to play the piano for a Rotary song just before the meal Thurs day afternoons at 1 o’clock. The remun eration is a free meal, plus the great ap preciation of President Dixon as well as all the other Rotarians. Anybody who will serve as Rotary pianist will be a big relief to Mackie —he would like to hear from someone. Mrs. Wood Privott served in that capacity fer many years and her play ing always added a great deal to the meet ings. o A crowd larger than usual attended the fellowship supper at the Methodist Church Sunday night. However, as is always, the case with covered dish meals, there was plenty of food for those present as well as second helping for those with ravenous appetites—and then more food left. o And speaking of eating, here’s one who had to miss the farmers’ supper at Murray Tynch’s place at Valhalla Tuesda" night. And even not being there, here’s betting a good stogie the crowd had the inner man adequately satisfied. o A motion picture, ‘The Restless Ones,” will be presented at the Taylor Theater Friday afternoon, February 21, at 3:45 o’clock. This picture has been arranged for community leaders, and all who attend will, no doubt, be very much benefitted. o If there’s anything disgusting it is the mess going on at some of our college campuses. It seems as though those who enroll and are accepted into the college should know what the curriculum is, whether Baptists, Methodists or any other denomination support the college. If they are not willing to abide by the curriculum or policy, why in the dickens don’t they get out? Or better still, why not have the college throw out those who appear to be determined to create disturbances which hinder other students from getting the edu cation they seek? The whole mess just don’t make sense. o With a birthday coming up Friday, the Missus already presented me with one of those hifalutin reclining chairs which lean back at any position as well as raises a foot rest. It’s mighty nice, and I have only one objection—the darn thing is so con ducive to sleep. The Diplomatic Pouch Czechoslovakia Treaties have invariably been broken when convenient to the Soviet Union, and they have always struck against us at all opportune times. Look at the rape of Czechoslovakia, where a trend to free thinking liberalization existed. Let us rec ognize the Soviet and Communist tyranny and revamp cur foreign policy for a real istic “optimum U. S. A. protection now” before it is too late. M. F. Z„ Princeton, N. J. Dear M. F. Z.: You stated that the Soviet Union breaks treaties as a matter of convenience. Al though it has repeatedly violated certain major international obligations, it has lived up to others. You may be interested in reading the enclosed “The Soviet Union and International Agreements” for the re sults of a study of this question. You cited the example of Czechoslovakia. The U. S. Ambassador to the UN, George Ball, called the invasion of that country “an affront to all civilized sensibilities.” President Johnson stated in part on August 21: “The tragic news from Czechoslovakia shocks the conscience of the world. It is a sad commentary on the Comm units mind that a sign of liberty in Czechoslovakia is deemed a fundamental threat to the secur ity of the Soviet system." Many people have written to tspr— their views on this matter and have pro posed a variety of courses of action. The U. S. government is maintaining a daw watch on event# in Eastern Europe. Our actions and policies will take full account of our broad foreign policy interests. Do you - have an inquiry about U. t foreign policy? ' ' Send It to: Stitojw Decrease Noted During January, 1969, unemployment ijMj* •• fronr jaauary, ■. IMB. sip? According to Neil E. Thagard, mana ger of the Edenton Employment Security Office, there were only 122 persons fil ing weekly claims in the four-county area served by this office, as compared to 147 persons filing during January, 1968. This decrease was caused by the rapid industrial expansion in the area, par ticularly in Chowan County. The local office registered 132 persons for work, referred 131 persons on job orders which resulted in 107 persons be ing placed on jobs. Os those, 25 were veterans and 17 were disadvantaged per sons for whom jobs were developed. The local office also tested 27 indi viduals to assist in job placement and held counseling interviews with 51 ap plicants to assist them in selecting, find ing and holding a job. Goal Is In Sight The March of Dimes goal of $1,500 is in sight, according to W. B. Gardner, Jaycee chairman of the annual funds campaign. Gardner said more than $1,300 has been collected and he is confident that when all divisions report the goal will be realized. To date, one of the campaign activi ties which realized the most was the Mother’s March, headed by Mrs. Oscar White. Although bad weather delayed some solicitation volunteers completed their assignments and a great deal was collected toward the goal. FARMERS HEAR Continued From Pago 1 thing for nothing.” It said it is 100 per cent non-profit and must remain so in order to do collective bargaining. Earlier, Nowell Sugg of Green County, NFO field director, said the organiza tion has a method and a means of raising prices. “It is something we have to have if we are to stay in business,” he added. CHOWAN ACADEMY Continued From Page 1 limited to 25 students. A full enroll ment is expected for 1969-70 and those who desire to enroll a student in one of the seven grades should do so shortly after the registration begins in order to assure him a place in the class. Miss Minnie Hollowell is headmistress at Chowan Academy. The academy was formed last fall by a group of concerned parents when a federal court judge pair ed elementary grades in Edenton-Chowan Schools. Evans said emphasis is being placed on teacher qualifications in order to in sure quality education.
