Carteret Connly News-Times | A Merger at Hie Beaufort Newt <e*t 1913) * The Twin City Time. (eat. ISM) EDITORIAL PAGE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER U, IMS We Heap What We Sow Governor Scott on Friday proclaimed Thursday, Nov. 24, at , Thanksgiving Day. The proclamation, which is printed below, defines the spirit of thankfulness, humility, and faith which has been the bulwark of America ? and can continue to be the fort ress which will fend off political, social and economic evil threat ening our nation. But. this will come to pass only if each of us realizes that we, individually, are an entity representing the land and community in which we live. Our deeds and thoughts en masse ? that is America. The Governor's proclamation: "Thursday. November 24th, is hereby proclaimed as a doy of reverent thanksgiving for North Carolinaians of all faiths and creeds. "Let us be humble before our Maker while we count the bountiful blessings which ho has bestowed upon us. "Our harvest has been abundant. Already throughout the autumn season, many church and community groups have mani fested their gratefulness by harvest day festivals. The county and State fairs have exhibited the best of our produce and stock. We are justly proud of the results ri all our labors. However, let us not forget that only by the providence of God is material wealth nnssihlp "We arc blessed by numerous other gilts more precious than economic prosperity. Here in America we are enjoying the gift of which the angels sang the nigbt of our Savior's birth, 'peace on earth, good will to men.' We are inspired to promote under standing and better human relations among our neighbors and all people that some day such a gift may come to the entire world. "We realize that ours is a land of opportunity as we compare the advantages, comforts, and privileges of our time with the hard ships of our pioneering ancestors who observed the first thanks giving proclaimed not too many years ago by Governor Bradford of Massachusetts. The spirit of these few settlers with their Indian friends is an American heritage to be cherished. "The Lord blesses those who jise talents to advantage. He expects us to be mindful, diligent, and industrious in applying skills and knowledge, lie has placcd in our care valuable re sources to be used for the common good and to the glory of God. We North Carolinians pray for this guidance as we endeavor to use the benefits of His bounty in this State for the fulfillment of His great purpose the good life for each and every one. "May we instill in our children and our children's children love and appreciation tor the Lord and deep gratitude for this goodness toward us." Thoughts for an open mind,.. Some things are lost by external cause, but if you part with honor, decency, gentleness, you lose these hy your own fault. It is not poverty that causes sorrow, but covetous desires, nor do riches deliver you from fear, but reasoning. Neither desire riches, or complain of poverty. When that which the microscope fails t(*see is regarded as non existent then I think the microscope begins to play a mischie vous part. ? I. R. Morrill /n The Good Old Days THIRTY-SEVEN years ago Front street was to be graded and shelled. When that street was in good condition some other itreei in town was to be similarly treated.

Has sell farm on route 70 might become the site of a second housing project for Beaufort. Smile AvUk Final Punch The n<^ed critic, James Huneker, once had the unreward ing task of reviewing a concert given by two insufferable prima donnas, a pianist and a conductor who competed for public adula tion in the playing erf a famous concerto. Huneker's critlspi was quite mild and inocuoui until he came to his last line. There be planted this stinger "At tke conclusion of the concert, the two artists joined in acknowledging the applause of the audience. It was the first time they had been together the whole evening".
