Bandon Notebook By Maggie B.
HI, NEIGHBORS!
Remember the cßaasterous
results of Kepone being
dumped into the James
River? And, the far
reaching effects it had and
still has on the people who
came into contact with it,
the deadly influence on
seafood in the James and
Chesapeake Bay and on all
folk who depend on seafood
in these waters for a living?
Do you want this to happen
to the Chowan River? Os
course, NOT!
Mr. Bill Norvell,
President, Edenton
Chamber of Commerce,
called me last Friday (21st)
to bring me up to date on
action taken by our “city
fathers” regarding algae in
the Chowan River. An ex
cellent report was published
in last week’s Chowan
Herald. As you saw from the
reports, our local officials
are doing what they can.
However, it’s up to us - YOU
and ME - to get on the ball
and PERSONALLY contact
those who can insure that
the waters of the Chowan
are properly monitored so
that industrial or municipal
wastes ARE NOT added to
the waters of the once pure
and beautiful Chowan. In
my opinion, whatever is
causing dead fish to line our
beaches and shores and
causes itching and blisters
on folk who go into the water
must be poisonous. Further,
with all of our modem
technology there must be
some way to eliminate the
cause. You all have heard
the old expression “it’s the
squeaking wheel that gets
the grease” - well, let’s start
“squeaking”! I understand
that “the buck stops” with
Dr. David Adams, Asst.
Sec., State Dept, of Natural
Resources and Community
Development, Raleigh, N.C.
I suggest that we “deluge”
Dr. Adams with letters, with
copies going to the Governor
and our State Represen
tatives. We had a contract
with N.C. State University
to study water quality in the
Chowan, headed by botany
pqpfessor, Dr. Gus
wjtha:sßPon w This contract
was terminated on May 31st,
at which time the river was
Around The Chowan Farms
By R.M. Thompson
County Ext. Chairman
There are several things
coming up during the next
few weeks that will be
concerning com production.
After the problems we had
with some of the com in the
state, in 1977, we will be
making field surveys on
farms in most of the
counties in the state. Mr.
Charlie Overman will be
doing the survey here in
Chowan.
We are suggesting several
things to prevent any
problems coming up with
the grain itself. We are first
suggesting that you harvest
this com somewhere around
24 per cent moisture or
above. We realize this is in
contradiction to the energy
conservation that we have
been talking for two or three
years. This means that you
should check your com for
the moisture during the next
thirty days and try to
harvest it about the 24 per
cent level or above.

said to be in the best con
dition since 1972 and only a
“normal algae bloom” was
expected. Three primary
causes for “excessive algae
bloom” were cited by the
University report: (l) lack
of rainfall; (2) low water
flow or water table; and (3)
an excessive quantity of
nutrients added to the
water. The first two we can
discount. We had plenty of
rain and the water was high
- unusually high, I would
say. That leaves No. 3. With
no me “watching”, it was
easy for an industry or in
dustries along the river to
dump waste into it. This
should NOT be allowed. In
addition to our “writing
campaign”, let us all pray
that a solution to our
problem will be found and
that He will forgive us for
not taking care of His
creation which He entrusted
to us.
On this beautiful Sunday
morning, Deacon Thomas
H. Dilday cheerfully
welcomed all assembled at
Bandon Chapel for Sunday
School, especially our first
timers. He introduced Rev.
Preston Cayton and ex
pressed our appreciation for
his presence.
Deacon Dilday announced
that Bible Study will be
Wednesday at 7 P.M. in
Fellowship Hall, led by B.
Kent Rowley. Choir practice
follows at 8 P.M.
On Thursday, the BCWG
will hold its regular meeting
starting at 11 A.M. All ladies
in the community are in
vited to come out and share
in the fun and fellowship.
Prayer List: Helen
Steiner Rice tells us “..No
trials and tribulations are
beyond what we can bear if
we share than with Our
Father as we talk to Him in
prayer..”. Please add our
friends to your prayer list.
Mrs. Ada Barnes entered
Chowan Hospital Monday
with a kidney infection, Rm.

suffered a severe heart
attack Sunday and is
hospitalised in Raleigh;
Mrs. Elizabeth Dale has
blood clots in her leg; please
Don’t leave com in your
truck for any period of time
if at all possible, because
com should be dried down
rapidly after picking. We
would suggest not over three
or four hours in a truck at
the most.
There will be more in
formation on this sent to you
but this is mainly for your
general information.
We have notice some
insects in peanuts and we
certainly would suggest
spraying when the moisture
is real good as far as using
an insecticide. You probably
should discuss the kind of
insecticide with your dealer
or those of us in the County
Extension Office. This is
because of the possibility of a
mite build up in August or
September.
We have found two spotted
spider mites in some pat
ches here in Chowan even
with all the rains that we
have had, so we know that
the possiblity is present.
We also suggest that you
remember Mr. Evelyn
Wright; Mr. Len Koraska;
Mr. Sam Wright; Mrs.
Sarah Livingston; C.H.

beloved pastor.
“The Gospel Confronts
Vested Interests”, Acts
19:23-28,35-39, was the topic
for our adults, powerfully
taught by Wm. F (Butch)
Smith. When God’s Word
challenges both their
religious beliefs and their
economic security, people
will react with anger and
even violence. Aim was that
adult Christians speak
prophetically to vested
interests in their society.
At our morning worship
service, Deacon Thomas H.
Dilday welcomed the
congregation and con
conducted the opening
exercises. He then in
troduced Rev. P.E.
Cayton, a retired Christian
minister who will bring our
morning message today as
well as the next three
Sundays while Dr. W.J.B.
Livingston is on vacation.
Rev. Cayton’s subject was
“Faithfulness - the Greatest
Desire”. “Be thou faithful
unto death, and I willl give
theea crown of life.” Rev: 2-
10. Faith is more than just
believing. We must be faith
ful to the promises God has
made to us; to the promp
tings of the conscience; to
our friends, to our task; to
our God and in carrying out
the “great commission” We
must “walk in faith” with
God and trust Him always to
guide us in the way He
would like for us to go.
ATTENTION: Girl Scout
Day Camp will be at the
American Legion Hut. in,
Edenton July 31st - Aug. 4th,
from 9 A.M. to 2 P.M. for
be careful about the
fungicides for leafspot if the
weather is dry. We suggest
that you spray for leafspot
every two weeks but maybe
alternate the materials.
If you haven’t gotten your
southern corn rootworm
materials out, it should be
done by the end of the first
week in August. Any
questions you have, please
contact us.

Even if you haven't been to church recently, I think you'll protest that we DO

they inspire the God-given strength with which they undergird our life.
This is the very point: We ALL need our churches.

THE PROBLEM OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL • ’ !
International Sunday School Lesson !
Scripture: I Corinthians 6:9-20
By Mrs. Jesse Waller ‘ •
Notice here that Paul lists the drunkards with some seriouS n ’ ■
vices adulterers, sexual perverts, thieves and robbers,
and others. None of these he says will inherit the kingdom of
God. He also makes it clear that our bodies are temples of
His Holy Spirit. We have the breath of God within us. Now
how can we defile our maker?
Paul continues by saying, “You are are not your own: you
were bought with a price,” I Corinithians 6-19.1 once heard
the story of a little boy whose father helped him make a little
red boat. He loved it, and sailed it so much that some of the
paint was gone. One day it sailed beyond his reach. He was
grieved over the loss of his precious toy. Some weeks later,
he and his father were strolling downtown together. In a
shop window they saw his battered boat. His father took him
inside, and purchased the treasured toy. As they left the
store, the little boy hugged the little red boat up to him, and
said, “little boat, your twice mine. First I made you, and
then I bought you.”
God is saying this to us, as He loves us beyond our un
derstanding First He created us, and then He bought us with
a great price, the blood of his only begotten Son.
This message is just as appropriate for our day as it was in
Paul’s lifetime. The news is full of incidents where people
have thrown themselves away, and usually the cause for the
deed can be traced to alcohol or drugs. I imagine the
statistics are even higher than quoted. One can stand in line
at the grocery store, and observe that there is alcohol'and
cigarettes in the majority of baskets.
Many excuse the young people by saying “they are jutft
doing their own things.” It not only affects them, but hurts
those who love them. f *
In our lifetime, we have been enlightened so much about
the harmful effects of alchol and nicotine. We wonder how an
intelligent person can willfully become a slave toeitber. We
are told that every cigarette one smokes takes twelve
minutes off his life. Alcohol not only attacks sensitive in
ternal organs, including the brain, but destroys personality
and respect.
The greatest hurt that is caused is that we hurt our maker,
and destroy the temple of God’s Spirit. Before the time at
Christ, the people believe that God’s dwelling place was in
temples people made with their hands. A few, like Jeremiah
knew be dwelt in the hearts at men. When Christ came, He t
taught that the kingdom of God is within you. This shows the
< value God places on our bodies. t
Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to withstand the temptations
which are harmful to ourselves and others. May we be e
slave to none save Thee. Amen.
