- Let us love our land ... a nation
.whose strength came from men who were
brave and strong and who were always
ready to guard it and defend it in a never
'ending strife for freedom.
On this Thanksgiving Day, it is well
for us to ponder the words carved in the
Indiana limestone of the National Ar
chives Building in Washington, D. C.:
“The heritage of the past is the seed that
:brings forth the harvest of the future.”
From The Courtroom
Any case calendared for trial in a Su
perior Court can be considered a serious
matter. A simple statement from the
presiding jurist can put the defendant
out of circulation for any given amount
of time, depending on the indictment or
charge.
There is room for lecture as well as
/humor in the courtroom,. Tudge Robert
D. Rouse. Jr„ pfc Farnrvflle, one of the
state’s newest Superior Court judges, is
rapidly gaining the reputation as one
with the ability to use both successfully
- alone the road to justice.
This was in evidence Monday after
noon. A young defendant was before
the court on a plea of guilty to breaking,
entering and larceny. The amount of
damage to the property owner was not
great but the charge was serious.
Judge Rouse told the high school stu
dent he used “probation sparingly” bu»
. considered him entitled to a second
; chance. Then the jurist lectured. He
: said there are two things that will get
: a person in trouble as quick as anything:
• I—To buy something when you have
: no means of paying for it;
2—To want something so badly when
: you aren’t yet ready to have it.
: He pointed out there are a lot of neo
: pie who have to fight hard against the
: second point.
t The judge’s sense of humor appeared
: in the next case where a de'endant ■»«
• charged with public drunkenness. So
: liritor Herbert Small noted that the de
j fendant had a lengthy record of drink
: ing and said: “He told me before court
: he was timid but wanted the judge to
\ know he had five children.”
“How can you afford to get drunk
: when you have five children to support?”
. the judge asked.
; “That was a free drunk,” was the re
: ply. “We went off to a ball game and
j I just got drunk.”
: Then the defendant said he just asked
[ the mercy of the court. “Well, the court
; is in a position to give you all the merev
: you have earned,” Judge Rouse replied.
• “New what have you earned?”
: “I didn’t get drunk this weekend,” the
: defendant answered. He got another
• chance.

“By Buff”
Now that Kate haa passed on to her re
ward, her pain and agony ended after a
valiant three-year fight with cancer, her
many friends cannot anymore reflect their
love for her by doing so many deeds of
kmHrw-re and affection, it remains for me
to thank from the bottom of my heart all
those friends who were so kind to her.
This, of course, includes the doctors, nurses
ami other personnel of Chowan and Albe
marle Hospitals, who did all they could
to bring about a cure and make her com
fortable. They all were so kind and con
siderate during her hospital confinement
Then there were those who visited and
prayed with her during her long illness
which was such a comfort to her. It is
comforting, too. to know that so many
friends sent her flowers while die was
living and could enjoy them, for die really
enjoyed flowers. I cannot give too much
thanks to the friends who sent so much
food and flowers and did so many acts of
love during our bereavement And inci
dentally, despite the care taken, there are
still a few dishes remaining to whom we
do not know they belong. If anyone has
not had dishes returned, please let us know
so that they can be returned. Personally
I thank and appreciate so much the many
cards and letters of sympathy sent to me
and the family since Kate passed away. In
fact there have been so many that I have
not had time to epen and read all of than
yet While it is heart-breaking to lose
such a loved one, friendship goes a long
way in making the burden lighter. So
what more can I say than thank everyone
from the bottom of my heart
o
The following poem written anonymous
ly was sent in the mail and expresses the
feeling of many of Kate’p friends:
TRIBUTE TO KATE
Katie, oh Katie, where have you gone.
Only to meet my Master who calls me to
home.
We each are given a cross that we must
bear,
Katie, oh Katie, you carried much more
than your share.
Such a wee little person to hold so much
fire,
Your faith never flickered, your hope
never died.
To the end you were as a rose newly
bloomed,
And to know you had entered brightened
each room.
Katie, oh Katie, we’ll miss your sweet
face,
’Twas the glory of God for you to leave
this ole place.
And now that you’ve passed and cast a
gleam on our town,
We can only be better for having known
you and had you around.
When that final day cometh and horns
blast the everafter’s beginning,
Tis Katie we’ll meet at the throne of our
God with life never ending.
If life sat still and did not breathe,
We would never have known the beauty
of thee, dearest Katie.
—Anon.

Maybe a little late, but two cigars were
given me a week or so ago. Thev were
sent by Mr. and Mrs. Paul G. Halsey of
Newport News, Va., who became the par
ents of a son. Jason Glvnn. on November
5 at Dixie Hospital, Hampton, Va. Friend
Halsey says the newcomer was 22 inches
long and tipDed jhe scales at 9 pounds and
3 ounces. Congratulations!

A lot of places complained about their
population figures according to the recent
census. But not so up in Gates County.
Representative Phil Godwin at a recent
Rotarv Club meeting said “Gates’ popula
tion had increased because there were
about 25 inspectors in the countv during
the recent hog cholera epidemic.”

RETIRED MINISTER
Cantinaed from Page 1
They seem to feel that they have been
bossed too long and are rebelling for
freedom.”
He also feels that youth crime today
is just a desire for independence and
they are trying to show it. Don’t think
he approves of crime or drug use. No!
He is just trying to reason the problem
out and find an explanation for it with
out feeling that the young people are
“bad seeds”.
Mr. Earnhardt is very depressed about
the war in Vietnam. He remarked, “It
is the most senseless war that has ever
been and it cannot be won by either side
because they are too far apart. It has
led to the present economic disaster as
well as general rebellion of youth.”
When asked about today’s youth turn
ing from the church and the slogan, “God
Is Dead”, he commented, “The church is
the whitest thing alive at this time and
a church in some form will be victorious
over all its enemies.”
“The young people are getting away
from the idea of a divided church and
the sects, not the church itself.’ ’ He al
so stated that they would not come baclr
to the church as it is now but will be
back when churches are ready to unite
in ideas.
He commented that no church is all
wrong or all right. He said that a move
ment is on now by nine denominations
to form one church within this decade.
He said the young people will respect
this.
When asked to comment on the di
vorce rate in young marriages he stated,
“It is partly a result of too much free
dom carried into marriage.” He also
remarked “Toleration is not always a
virtus, and a young married person has
In closing, Mr. Earnhardt made these
statements about Edenton and Cape
statements about Edenton and Capy
Colony:
“Edenton is beautiful, well planned
and well governed. There is a feeling
of democracy and Edenton’s strength is
largely in its history.”
“People are congenial and have a
specialty for friendly treatment of
strangers.”
‘The young people are exceptional in
their participation of sports and in their
respect for their elders.”
“The new hospital sets a great ex
ample for the small cities in North Ca
rolina.”
“Cape Colony stands as an invitation
for people who wish to retire and have
good neighbors.”
“The Albemarle Sound is the greatest
body of water in the state, but the fish
won’t bite.”
