* ’■ . ' - ... ,• iv'A "•*>’ • Jj|[ AT With so many parties heM over the holidays, maybe the following poem mitfit be appropriate. The poem, written by Russell Kay and appearing in a Lehigh Acres, Fla., newspaper, was brought in by Mrs. J. E. Hughes of Merry Hill, who has a daughter living at Lehigh Acres. Here ’tis: -TWAB THE NIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS Twas the night after Christmas, and boy what a house! I felt'like the devil and so did the spouse. The egg-nog and turkey and candy were swell, But ten hours later they sure gave me heU. The stockings weren’t hung by the chimney with care, The darn things were sprawled on the hack of a chair. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, But I had a large cake of ice on my head. And when at last I dosed off in a nap. The ice woke me up when it fell on my lap. Then for some unknown reason I wanted a drink, So I started in feeling my way to the sink. I got along fine till I stepped on the cat, I don’t recall just what occurred after that. When I came to, the house was flooded with light, Tho’ under the table I was high as a kite. While visions of sugar plums danced in my head, I somehow got up and then back into bed. Then what to my wondering mind should appear. But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. Then the sleigh seemed to change to a red fire truck. And each reindeer into a bleary-eyed buck. I knew in a moment it must be Old Nick, 1 tried to cry out but my tongue was too thick. The| tjje old devil wrfTstled and shouted with glee. While each buck pawed the earth and looked daggers at me. Then he called them by name and the names made me shudder, When I heard them I felt like a ship without rudder. "Now Eggnog. Bacardi, Four Roses and Brandy! "Now Fruit Cake! Cold Turkey! Gin Rickey! and Candy! "To the top of his dome, to the tOD of his skull, "Now whack away, crack away with thumps that are dull.” Then in a twinkling I felt on my roof, The prancing and pawing of each cloven hoof. How long this went on I’m sure I can’t say. Tho’ it seemed an eternity plus a long day. But finally the night after Christmas had passed. And I found I could really think straight at last. So I thought of the New Year, a few days away. And I’ve made me a vow no tempter can sway. I’m sticking to water, don’t even want ice. For there is nothing as tasty and nothing as nice. The flight after New Year may bother some guys. But I’ve learned my lesson and, brother, I’m wise. You can have your rich victuals, and liquor that’s red, But what goes in my stomach won’t go to my head. So a big Happy New Year to you and to all, I’m back on the wagon and hope I won’t fall. O Some of Christmas day was devoted to reading the messages on Christmas cards, some of which included personal notes from the senders. For instance Mr. and Mrs. Bill Sanford ** fiwa High Point, "came see i* fa our new glass house in the hills.” Then Rer Cliff Shoaf muet have card during a rainy apaS, far JOSBSQB ****£ yiP* Wm. ” From Page 1 resin, a derivative of petroleum, is either unavailable at - reasonable prices or is available on a quota basis which makes it impractical to operate at full production. Both plants have been forced to lay off employees because of the problem. At Fiberform, management had posted production at six boats. The shortages forced a cut back to four boats which ended in some lay offs. So, it is not a shortage of orders which causes the industry to stay in a state of flux. Recently Boating Industry Associations sent a memo to the trade on boat fuels. It was stated that there is no energy “crisis” in America, but a petroleum shortage. 1 It was noted that boating itself is a $4-billion a year industry employing nearly 500,000 people in 19,000 different companies exclusively in the marine business. Boatmen, it was pointed out, are minor users of fuel in relation to other consumers. Recreational boating consumers approximately one half of 1 per cent of the gasoline used by Americans each year. This is equivalent to one half tank of gas per car per year. “The American motorist by cutting his highway speed by 10 miles per hour can save 20 times the amount of gasoline used by the average boatman. Grampain and Fiberform are good corporate citizens who can be expected to manage with level heads, refraining from panic. The community would be wise to follow their example. Victimt of Bureaucracy The announced departure of H. G. Jones and John G. Zehmer, Jr., from the State Officer of Archives and History can only be classed as bad news along the Public Parade. Dr. Jones, director of the department, said he’s had his fill Of'buredttcracy. He -yiM mayor var to Chapel Hill where he will become curator of the North Carolina Collection at the University of North Carolina. Mr. Zehmer, head ot the Historic Sites and Museums Section, will become architectural In ?rian for the City of Richmond, Va. Both men have been strong boosters of Edenton, often times going not only the second mile but the third, fourth and fifth in order to assist in the preservation of what so many of us take for granted. Dr. Jones and Mr. Zehmer were professionals who would not compromise principle nor settle for second best. Dr. Jones made it plain he couldn’t function effectively in the atmosphere of politicans. If Jack Zehmer were to say anything it would probably be “Amen”. ‘Tis a sad state of affairs when men of such expertise and dedication are victims of the bureaucracy. For it is not the bureaucracy which suffers but the citizens who recognize the importance of the preservation of our heritage. Report Good RALEIGH All bogs and pigs on North Carolina farms December 1,1973 totaled 1,950,009 head, an increase of 12 per cent from the 1,739,000 head on hand a year earlier, according to the N. C.

TW i project win be funded at a level of $20,000. This project according to Wilbur G. Pierce, director is a response to the nation’s energy crisis and the Economic Improvement Council, ' Inc., proposes to implement a project designed to lessen the impact of the fuel shortage upon the poor within Region “R”. This is ah emergency project. The project will feature basic Woman Continued bom Page 1 cleaners on the feet for claws. Even Mrs. Lawson’s nurses and doctors helped her with her handiwork. “A nurse helped me paint my fruit bowl,” she laughed, “and the doctors and nurses said they could sleep with my teddy bear.” * Her prize creation, however, is a 17-piece nativity scene formed mostly from scraps of materials. The Mary is made of paper mache, newspaper, and cloth, and painted blue. Her hair is formed from string painted brown. However, Mrs. Lawson felt that making things with paper mache was too slow, so she changed materials. The angles are different from most angels that they are all men. All the angels the Lord ever salt on Earth were men,” Mrs. Lawson stated, “and, so, it is my belief that men did the singing the night that Jesus was born.” Mrs. Lawson chose the colors that looked the nicest for the angels. They are made of socks and stuffed with rags and white nylons. “I feel that angels should wear something nice and soft and bright,” she said. Mrs. Lawson has a vision of the setting for the Nativity Scene. “The idea for the Nativity Scene just came to me,” she explained. “There was a vision in my mind to make it.” Because of this vision she paid a -■piwteitetetefo4teaM)RMehieg#9«g the only animal in the scene. “The scene was just an old dreadful stable,” she explained. “Mary and Joseph wanted a place in the Inn and everybody refused to give them a room. So they went to an ox manger, and when they did, the ox moved over and made room for them and that’s where Jesus was born.” Mrs. Lawson has often made items at home with the materials, she could find. A doll made from corn cobs tied with ribbons was among the first items she made. “I love to make things,” she said, “it’s just the money problem.” However, the amount and variety of materials available in O.T. overwhelmed her. She worked as continuously as pos sible so that she would not waste any of the materials available to her. Her hospital room was filled with her own Christmas items and with the gifts she helped the others make. When she was discharged from NCMH, Mrs. Lawson carried her handicrafts with ho* in five large storage boxes and a shopping bag. Mrs. Lawson made her Christmas gifts, and perhaps for a gift for herself, she would want only a part of the materials available to her in O.T. available to her again. At* Christmas time, scrap materials, ribbons, strings, and I sequins from the Christmas tree are tossed away with little thought. It is heartwarming that, when 1 given the opportunity, one woman can take those same scrape and transform them into Christmas miracles. ■ , - ' ;aj» Thursday, December 27, 1973 The Chowan Herald e-Ent«f«d *i Mcontf-dats flMrftir August H- , resources which will not only reduce the energy ‘maSfeto the impact of this project upon the entire community.
