Christ Is Born Hard as one may try it is im possible to improve on the Bethlehem scene as described in the Gospel according to St. Luke: And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria). And all went to be taxed, every (me into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it, was that, while they were there, the days were ac complished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first born son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because than was no room for them in the inn. And there in the same country shepherds abiding in the field keeping watch over their flock by night. And, 10, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear Not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward, men. ' ■ ■ - •. mmUokm And it came to pass as the angels were gone away from them into heaven the shepherds said one to another, “Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is to come to pass, which the Lad hath made known to us.” And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Xmas Closing Set Larry Robertson, the new chairman of Historic Edenton, Inc. announced that Historic Edenton wfll be closed December 23, 24, 25 and 26 for the Christmas Holidays. He has also announced that the site will be closed December 31 for New Years. Merry Christmas T " in, j Special musical programs and the recent crispness in the i weather have shocked many into the realization that after | Monday (gads) the familiar salutation “Merry Christmas!” w will have gone its way for 1978 and “Happy New Year” cannot | be far behind. There are two things computers and the government haven’t | been successful in fouling up. One is the weather, the other is the | calendar. Christmas is on December 25 every year and a new e year is ushered in the following week. Christmas affords people a special opportunity to give gifts, send cards, have folks over for a visit, or many other ways of expressing their love and general remembrance. Many merchants and industries have chosen The Chowan Herald as the vehicle to express holiday greetings to the citizens of this community. They appear in today’s newspaper. Merchants also have a “last chance” this week to toot their bora concerning merchandise available at home. You won’t want to miss any of the 30 pages in today’s edtion. This is The Chowan Herald’s 44th year and our 14th to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. The greetings get better with age, maybe we don’t! v [.■ , ' “Bud” Amburntor The Chowan Herald crew Cal 482-2104 Today, 6A.M.T05 P. M.

Scott Harrell has organized Scott Boat Works here that is now manufacturing motor boats. “Albemarle 24“ is the model which will be turned out at the rate of one per week early next year. New Boat For Fishermen The Albemarle 24 is the latest name in fishing boats. Beginning early next year the sleek craft will be turned out at the tune of one per week. The manufacturer is Scott Boat Works, located on West Queen Street. J. Scott Harrell’s firm is the second motor boat manufacturer in Chowan County. Fiberform, owned by U.S. Industries of Seattle, Wash., makes several lines of boats at its facility on Albemarle Sound. Harrell said his aim is to specilize on a single model the 24-footer—and keep overhead at a minimum so a high quality procuct can be marketed at a popular price. “Although it is almost to early to tell, we feel we have set a reasonable goal one which can be obtained,” he said Monday afternoon as the third hull was popped out. Scott Boat Works and its ex clusive agent, Edenton Marina, will be represented by the Albemarle 24 at their first boat show in mid-January. While Harrell was hesitant at this time to put a price tag on the product, he said it could market at some $4,000 less than existing competition.
