C The Superintendent Reports This school year has been a . banner one, thus far, for the athletic teams at Chowan and John A. Holmes high schools. In that athletics is an important part of the school physical education program, this week's column will focus on the importance of athletics, as well as, the successes earned by teams in the Edenton-Chowan Schools this school year. Everyone would probably agree that participation in a sound athletic program contributes to health and happiness, physical skill and emotional maturity, social competence and values. Cdncomittantly, in that cooperation and competition are both important components of American life. Athletic participation helps to teach the values of cooperation as well as the spirit of competition. Playing hard and playing to win, help to build character. In analyzing the successes enjoyed by the varsity teams at both high schools this year, it is evident that cooperation and competition were key elements in the winning seasons enjoyed in football, basketball, and wrestling. The John A. Holmes football team under Head Coach James Addison playing in a new league and under most unusual circumstances, jelled into a mighty force, with bulkward defense and brilliant offense. The 9-1 won-loss record for the season was most gratifying, n a “ raW 01 "‘aUmed | Ssc’ 3* j il » • * , - ■ thechowaW herald Origin Os The Potato By WILLIAM W. REID The name “potato” is believed to have originated from the Indian name “Batatas”, and is only one of about 2,000 species of the night shade family which includes tobacco, tomato, egg plant, 'pepper, horsenettle, ground cherry, and petunia. There are many wild species in the New World which are closely related to the potato, but most of these are found in the Andes mountains. For this reason, many people feel that the Irish potato is improperly named - reasoning that the Spaniards first brought the crop to Ireland from South America; however, because of the importance to the food supply that the potato became to Ireland, the name “Irish” potato has remained through the years although it may be more correctly called the Andes potato or the South American potato. To scientists all over the world who name botanical specimens in Latin, the accepted name is Solanum tuberosum and means the same to scientists on all continents. The disease of potato named late blight wiped out the potato crop in Ireland in 1840, causing famine in Ireland and forcing many Irish families to emigrate to the United States. Late blight disease is still prevalent in our potato producing ara, but we are now able to prevent and to control the disease through the use of fungicides developed jointly by state and federal experiment stations in conjunction with private industry. This is an excellent example of the proper use of tax payers money wherein a very necessary food item has been saved form oblivion by reasearch on diseases and the extension of that knowledge to farmers. The demand for potatoes and potato products has changed very much over the past 10 to 12 years. In 1960 the annual consumption of potatoes per person in the U. S. was about 108 pounds. This had reached 120 pounds per person by by 1972 and , by 1980, per capita consumption is expected to reach 124 pounds. Thus, as population increases and demand increases, so must production if we are to keep up with anticipated demand. Increased production could be the result pf either .-of, J,wo factors: (1) increased yield per acre by the present growers or (2) increased number of growers. Because the present growers have the know-how, machinery, and other physical facilites for potato production, it appears reasonable that they will be able to meet this demand— certainly the increased demand of the next few years. time out fork ' A.

As we study our Lesson for today we cannot help but be struck by the changing inter relationship of the individual and of the group. For one is irreconciliable with the other. The church is made up of its members; it is a composite of their weaknesses, and of their strengths; of their vacillations and of their positive reactions to any given subject—especially of those concerned with the Gospel! ,i • In the verses of our study is a recount of the first miracle wrought in Jesus' name after the ascension. The prompting , of the miracle of the healing of the lame beggarman before the gate of the Temple is most important. It was a realization of his faith by Peter—faith put to concrete and compassionate use—but, nevertheless, ascribed to the power of the Master, in all humility of spirit and a loving heart. Would that the faith exhibited by Peter was the rule, rather than the exception among Christians today! For Peter’s life was so filled with the power of faith that he felt nothing was impossible—just so long as it was accomplished in such a way that it proclaimed the greatness of the Father! Peter’s act was also an act of great courage, as well as faith; for it was performed in public, in the midst of the doubting and derision of t the populace. Remember—in the days of early Christianity, the faith had many more detractors than it had adherents! Thus Peter’s believing testimony (taken at great risk to himself) bore fruit even beyond his wildest dreams. Called to account by the religious leaders of the day many of whom had participated in the sentencing of Christ to the cross - Peter and John nevertheless held fast to their assertion that the Messiah, whom they had so cruelly used and put to death, yet lived, and dispensed His grace among mankind. And their witness was joyfully received by the believing community; new converts, who had hitherto placed their faith in things material, were inspired to sell their worldly goods and place the resulting monies at the disposal of the Christian movement, that the Word might be spread still further. The spirit of sharing thus took on a new and practical dimension, for each man was administered to according to his need. The fact that Peter and John’s listeners were “filled with the Holy Ghost” was ample indication of a great inner sense of personal renewal and a sense of spiritual power Christians still need this sense of inner and spiritual fulfillment today. In our witnessing on Christ’s behalf today, what is - our impact upon our peers? Does our innate belief shine through in our speech and acts? Are we convincing Christians? Do our words and deeds lead others to Christ— and to His service? As professing Christians we do not have a monopoly on Christ, the Savior; rather, Christ has a monopoly on US! This la something we must never forget—and it is something which ties back to one ot the oldest and most stressed virtues proclaimed mtheHoly Book-humflityof SP The real evidence of a Ufa that hasten filWby lta 1 i | in 4kef by (the way in which it is more powerful toe ministry j§ mm HBR a /mm 1 ;|g| The man who prays can hear the prayers of others ... especially when he prays for those human needs which are common to all men.
