's Greetings To All! Volume XLVIII - No. 101 ' Edenton, North Carolina, Thursday, December 27, 1984 Single Copies 25 Cents Christmas Story Once again, with permission of the copyright holder, we bring you the Christmas story: 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 the first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) - And all went to be taxed, every one 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 there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same coun try shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, 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 ail people. ' • ■ For unto you is barn 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, good will toward man. 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 come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto 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.

Dream Comes True For Baptist Mission Christmas Eve marked a very special occasion for the sixty-six members of the Albemarle Baptist Mission. On that night, the congregation gathered for the first service held in their new church building located on Base Road across from Colony Drive. The candlelight-Moravian Love Feast was celebrated in their new Educational building just live months after ground was broken on the building site. Church members Receives Appointment Leonard C.

Most of the one hundred workers who donated their time and skills to constructing the church were volunteers from the congregation or representatives from seventeen North Carolina Churches and one Virginia Church. Coordination of those volunteers was handled by Rev. Larry McClure, area mis sionary for the Baptist State Mission. The mission, sponsored by the Edenton Baptist Church, receives aid from the Church Extension Department of the Baptist State Convention and the Chowan Baptist Association. The need for the church was determined following a survey made in 1981 which indicated that people in the Cape Colony area were interested in forming a con gregation. During the spring of 1982, the Edenton Baptist Church voted to sponsor the mission and called a Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary student, John Stanley, to be a summer mis sionary. That summer home Bible classes were formed. The classes attracted such a large number of participants that on July 4th they had to move Sun day morning Bible studies classes into the lobby of the Edenton Airport. Three months later, on October 6, a morning worship service was. begun and the congregation adopted the name, the Albemarle Baptist Mission. Also during that service, John Stanley was called as missionary pastor and the then twenty-six member congregation made a commitment to see the mis sion grow into a church. r 1 Early Deadline Due to New Year’s Day fall ing on Tuesday, the Chowan Herald will be observing the following schedule for next week’s paper: classified and display advertising must be submitted no later than 10 a.m. on Monday; news items to run in next week’s edition must be in our office no later than 3 p.m. on Monday.

It burned only 40 hours and produced the light of one can dle. Only three years later — when Fairfield, Iowa, illuminated its en tire business district — public power was born. In the United States today, there are more than 2,200 local, publicly owned electric cooperatives, and about 275 investor-owned electric utilities. North Carolina is one of nine states with the greatest number of publicly owned electric systems. “We’re proud to be part of the public power industry,” say Utili ty Director William Crummey adds that public power systems benefit their customers in many ways. First, the latest statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Ad ministration show that nationally, public power consumers generally pay less for energy than other con sumers. “Those statistics also shows,” says Crummey “that Continued On Page 4 Emergency Management Activity Funds Allocated Chowan County will receive $8,115 to support its emergency management activities for 1985, ac cording to Heman R. Clark, secretary of the North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. The money is part of an allocation of $990,258 to support emergency management activities in 86 counties. Clark said, “We are pleased to be able to offer this support to the county emergency management agencies so that they will be more able to assist their citizens in a time of disaster.” The funds are part of a $1.3 million Emergency Management Assistance grant made available to the state by the federal government. Tom Pugh, director of the depart ment’s Division of Emergency Management, said, “We are par ticularly pleased that this year as a part of our continuing efforts, we have been able not only to increase the total dollars available to the counties but also provide a greater percentage than before.” “This increased level of funding is indicative of the state’s commit ment to the emergency manage ment agencies at the local level,” he said. Almost 72 percent of the federal EMA allocation is being made to the local governments. This is a .53 percent increase over last year. The funds are used to provide ad ministrative support, personnel, and increase the operational capabilities of the local govern ment’s emergency management program. Pugh also commended the emergency management personnel in both the state and local agencies for their excellent work this year. ‘ ‘The tornadoes in March and Hur ricane Diana in September really tested emergency management personnel.
