Up To The Ladies Though most of the requests for coopera tionmthe war effort thus far concerned citiiens as a » *"»«> * dnve is now in progress in Chowan County which adl teat the patriotism and cooperation principally of the housewives of the entire county. The drive in question is an effort to sible waste fats in the kitchens, which .s greatly nee«a plosives. Glycerine is one of the most ™ materials, the importation of wluch has been cut off by the war. It is estimated that 17 pounds ot was!* kitchen fats are enough to make over * ™ * half of glycerine, amd at the that more than two billion pounds of fats are ted in American kitchens every year. Uncle Sam is asking for 500,000,000 pounds of waste f»t to offset the supply which has been cut off, a under the direction of Miss Rebecca Colwell, Chowan County home agent, housewives of the county are ask ed to meet this quota of between one and two pounds per month. ... It seems like a very little thing to do, but it is very important when it is realized that 17 pounds of waste kitchen fat will make a nound and a half of grycen 4, and this amount of glycerine will provide sufficient power, when used with gun powder, to fire 85 anti-tank shells at Hitler, the Japs or Mussolini. Glycerine .s also used for other very important purposes in connec tion with the war. The Herald has frequently, expressed the opinion that if a job is to be done, the ladies can be depended upon if their efforts are enlisted. This drive concerns the ladies of the county, and The Herald will watch with interest the progress made. A guess is register ed that Chowan County’s women will ring true and turn in a report of which Miss Colwell and the county as a whole will be proud. Little Chance, Brother The other day a prominent preacher in another State predicted a war-less world after the present war is over. We hope the brother knows what he is talking about. I Unfortunately, the world contains powerful peoples, organized into aggressive nations, that harbor no such ideal. They glorify war and the warrior, and ever seek to secure material loot through the process of fighting. If there is to be a war-less world after the present struggle, it will have to stand upon the basis of law and order erected by the United Nations and upheld by the power of their striking Os course, peace could come to the world if the ag gressive peoples were to adopt pacifism as an end of life, in much the same manner that the democracies j went astrav after the first World War. There is little chance of peace through the regeneration of the peoples of the aggressive powers for several generations to come, if at all. Give ’Em A Hand They didn’t say so, but J. G. Campen and Ralph Parrish, president and vice president, respectively, of the recently formed Chowan Chamber of Commerce and Merchants Association, had very good reasons to be discouraged at the response to a meeting called last Thursday night, when it was hoped machinery would be put into motion to begin the year’s work. There was merely a handful present and because of this fact activities of the organization have been de layed a couple of weeks. This matter of shouldering the responsibilities of the Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants Association is no easy task and is one for which there is no com pensation realized save criticism and passing the buck. Neither Campen nor Parrish will be personally benefitted by the organization any more than any other business person benefits as the result of progress made by the towm, and for that reason they have every right to ex pect and should receive the full cooperation of every business and professional man in Edenton and Chowan County for that matter. The successful operation of a Chamber of Commerce and Merchants Association depends upon more than the efforts of a president and vice president. They must have help and the interest of those people who have or, at least should have, an interest in the town’s and county’s welfare. One of the best ways to display an interest in the organisation ami concrete evidence of a desire to co operate is to be present at the meeting schedules to he held in the Court House on Tuesday night, Septem ber 15. There is too much work to be done to expect the two principal officers or a precious few others to carry the burden. For that reason the meeting on September 15 should attract enough folks to fill the room at the Court House. Make your plans now to attend. Scores of men in Chowan County are giving gener ously of their time and effort in the work of civilian defense. They deserve the applause of all citiaeae. in cluding lazy loafers too sluggish to work in the peasant emergency. There is one way to win the war.

You see, BUI White, Freak Hughes aad 1 go fishing whenever an opportunity presents itself and we’ve had some splendid luck (and bud tuck tec, but net reported!.

Friend White wilt be obliged to attest to the report. That makes if alt “legal” and should not be doubted by anybody. o But speaking about fishing, Game Warden Gib Perry has thrown a monkey wrench in the fun of seme new comers who like to try their luck, for unless they have resided here as long as six months, they must buy a fishing license in order to join the crowd. It isn’t that Gib likes to prevent anybody from having’fen, but be has taken an oath to see that the State game and fishing laws are carried out, which laws provide that non-residents must buy a license. Gib, too, has been tipped off that over-zealous hunters have already start ed shooting squirrels- The season doesn't open until October 1, so these who are ahead of time had better be careful unless they don't give a rap about having some trouble. The law provides for the revocation qf the license of any hunters who violate game regulations. o Riding on crowded busses these days is sumpin’, re spite the fact that the bus lines are doing everything they possibly can to improve conditions. It brings to mind a recent tetter written to a bus company by a dis gruntled rider. The letter was something like this: “1 have been riding your cars for the past 12 months, and the service seems to be getting worse every day. 1 think the transportation you offer is worse than that enjoyed by the people of cure thousand years ago.* The bus company promptly replied with the following: “We received your letter of the first and believe that you are somewhat confused in your history. The only j transportation a thousand years ago was on foot.” | However, the disgruntled fellow wanted the last word 1 and immediately wrote back: “I am in receipt of year * letter of the Bth, and l think that you are the ones confused in your history-.
