* Next Sunday, May 12, is Moth
", er’s Day when we pay tribute to
■> the best friend we have or had
;[ on earth. So it is appropriate
o to print a poem sent in years
b ago by Rev. Walter E. Isenhour
lof Taylorsville. Here ’tis:
DON'T WAIT 'TIL MOTHER'S
GONE
/ It may be nice for folks to hear
» The praise you have for mother
« dear,
o When she has passed across the
i' bar
n To dwell, perhaps, where angels
... are;
?• But do not wait ’til mother’s
I gone
- To heap your words and praises
' on
The life she’s lived, the good
she's done.
And glory in the race she’s run.
i
‘* Perhaps today she needs to hear
‘ A bit of praise to give her cheer;
v A hand to help her bear the
load
c, She carries on life's rugged
- road;
A lovely rose her eyes can see,
t- Or some kind look to make her
* free
To tell you of her inner cares,
a For which she needs your earn
-1 est prayers.
Go sweep the room and make
" the beds,
v And comb the little children’s
' heads;
And sometimes ask her how she
; feels,
’ And would she have you cook
some meals;
- Or help her in some other way
l. To brighten up a cloudy day;
: That in your heart you have
true love
That God has sent you from
above.
Don’t let your mother be a slave
■ Then lay her nicely in the grave
<* And think you’ve done your
j. noble best
That God in heaven ought to
*• bless,
•• If out across the bygone years
t You’ve caused her eyes to fill
f with tears,
l And brought the wrinkles to her
f face
t That helped too soon to end her
p. _rf»ce. r:r ? ;
* Oh, do not. wait ’til mother’s
5- gone
id gather flowers from the
' lawn
[ To show her tribute of respect
[ And think you’ll pay for your
. neglect;
f But plant a kiss upon her cheek
■Through love that makes God’s
' children meek,
And say, “Dear Mother, I’ll be
true
And help you make your jour
ney through.”
o
Like so many “remedies” one
receives from friends in order
to get rid of a cold, it appears
that gardening is in about the
same category. For instance, a
number of suggestions have
been received to bring about a
good crop of tomatoes. And
now with aphids playing havoc
with rose bushes in the back
yard, a suggestion has been re
ceived to combat these pests.
“Just plant a few onions near
the rose bushes,” I was told,
“and that will keep the aphids
off the bushes.” Well, if eat
ing onions keeps friends away,
maybe they’ll have the same ef
fect on keeping the aphids
away. Anyway, I’m giving it a
try.

Mrs. J. Craig, up Elizabeth
City way, sent me a postcard
which harks back to the good
old days. The card was sent
from Colerain to Miss Fannie
Webb, R. F. D. 4, Edenton, N. C.,
on January 2, 1908. The card
bore a one-cent Franklin stamp—
a far cry from the eight cents
now needed to mail a postcard.
On one side of the card was
printed in twisted letters “Uncle
dik sais it takes sum men so
long to say no that it meens
yes.” Mrs. Craig had this to say:

political clout to be a good
attorney general. Furthermore,
we believe he could have won the
Democratic nomination and
General Election.
This is all history now. The only
bright spot following Exit No. 3 is
the fact that he hasn’t ruled out
future participation in the political
arena. His return will be
welcomed in these quarters.
Mclntyre To Speak
Jim Maclntyre, director of
Allied Arts Center in Durham, will
be among those from out-of-town
attending a meeting of the
Edenton Chamber of Commerce
Cultural Arts Committee at 8 P.M.
May 16. The meeting will be held
in the Municipal Building with
Mrs. Rosa Martin as chairman.
Maclntyre will acquaint the
group with the potentials of an
active Edenton-Chowan County
Arts Council.
Mrs. Martin said Richard W.
Baker, Jr., director for Alliance
For Progress, Inc., will also
attend.
Reach Accord

Phillips that a public hearing prior
to the committee report would
be premature.
Commissioner N. J. George said
he felt a public hearing would be
the best means of finding out ex
actly how the citizens felt about
the project.,
Commissioners David Bateman
and C. M. Evans said they favored
a downtown site if adequate space
could be obtained.
Eye Care
Continued from Page I
care for people who are blind
while only $46,376 is raised to
prevent blindness.
Howard Campbell, director of
the District Health Department,
said his department will provide
supportive services, which will
include staff. “We recognize the
need and are willing to do
whatever necessary to try to
provide an extra service to our
people,” he said.
Charles Morgan, president,
presided at the meeting. The
program was introduced by
Herbert Hollowell, club member
and president of the N. C.
Association For The Blind. \
Hollowell said afterwards i that
anyone who wishes to contribute to
the mobile eye clinic project can
do so by contacting any Lions Club
member.

Squad Boosted
Edenton-Chowan Rescue Squad

commissioners Monday
authorized a committee to spend
up to $30,000 for the purchase and
renovation of property for squad
headquarters.
Murray Ashley, director of civil
preparedness, told the board the
squad had been organized for nine
years and had never had adequate
facilities. The squad has two rural
units.
County Coordinator Dallas
Jethro, Jr., reported that the new
valuation is $99,495,810, up from
SB7-million prior to revaluation.
He said this represents $95,005,910

an estimated $4,489,900 in
corporate excess.
Jethro pointed out that the
elderly exemption amounted to
$1,577,625.
During the meeting the
commissioners instructed Mrs.
Pansy Elliott, finance director, to
budget on 95 per cent of the
valuation.
There was some discussion of
taxes for the next fiscal year with
all members agreeing with
Commissioner N. J. George that
this is the year to reduce taxes.
The board agreed to participate
with the Town of Edenton in a
delineation sewer study. They will
also ask agencies for
recommendations for nominees to
the Coastal Resources
Commission.
Melvin Howell, Farmers Home
Administration district
supervisor, reported on progress
of ttie regional water system. He
said it is anticipated that some $l
- in grant funds will be
received from various agencies
