At that time, perhaps scan thought it was just a bit of "sales talk" to keep his organization on the- alert. Now. however, we hear the -amp suggestion coming openly from leaders high .in the ranks of national defense. It is our thought that this not only can happen here, but very likely will. Neither the Germans or Japs, we take it, would hesitate to attempt to send in a suicide squad as a means- of demoralizing morale. It, there fore becomes the duty of every person in civilian de fense, or otherwise, to be on the alert and to take every possible measure to, blackout quickly if a warning comes. A wasted minute may mean, the difference. Only Coming Back Home It is interesting to note that the Rev. D. C. Crawford, Jr., has accepted a call as pastor of the local Presby terian church and plans to make Edenton his home shortly after his graduation from l nion fheoiogica. I Seminary in Richmond in May. The Rev. Mr. CrawVord is no stranger in Edenton, in fact it will be more like one of our own people com ing back home. He has served the church during the summer vacation and has every other week returned to preach since returning to college. Mr. Crawford has Won the affection not only of the members of his congregation, but of the townspeople as a whole. He has instilled into his congregations a sense of duty to the church and a desire to be of service. He is especially remembered for his activities among the young people, a duty prone to be overlooked by some of the older ministers, The Herald welcomes Mr. Crawford back to Edenton and wishes for him so. much success that it will be many years before he consents to leave. Edenton should be a better place by accepting the call. Comply Or Else— With the large number of merchants in attendance at the price ceiling meeting Tuesday night, it was ap parent that this group was eager to learn all they could about the regulations in order to comply with all the requirements- There was no reason to believe that any merchant desired to refuse to comply, but should there be. they themselves will be the losers, OPA representatives, in no uncertain terms, let it be understood that the law* has teeth, that there are enough enforcement agents in the field to apprehend violators and that those who wilfully fail to comply will be dealt with according to law. It may be a hard job and embrace some unfairness, but let us all remember—we are in the midst of a very important war. Chowan Again Rings Bell Without fear of contradiction, The Herald feels that it is safe to say that the result of the canvass for funds in the Chowan County infantile paralysis campaign ex ceeded by far all expectations. It is worthy to note that the highest amount ever netted in the county for the purpose was in 1938, when, after paying all expen ses for a dance $176.47 remained. Every year until this one some form of dance has been staged as a means of celebrating President Roosevelt’s birthday and rais ing funds with which to combat infantile paralysis, a cause dear to the heart of the President. As usual, it w*as at first planned to stage another dance, but for various reasons Father McCourt, chair man of the Chowan Chapter, conferred with his asso ciates and it was decided to abandon the idea and in stead make a canvass for contributions. Incidentally, there wer enot a few who were .optimistic enough to predict that as much would be raised by that method as through a dance, but none ventured a guess that a sum approaching one thousand dollars would be realized. To say the least, Father McCourt is delighted with the result and is high in praise of the generosity ot those who contributed as well as those who so freeiy sacrificed their time and effort in making the canvass. The Herald would add its praise, too. to these canvass ers, especially at a time when everybody apparently na» more to do than they can accomplish The canvasser? did a splendid job, all of them, but special tribute is due Mrs. W. H. Coffield, who is contributing no little of her time to the war effort. She is greatly interest ed in making Red Cross surgical dressings, being chair man of the project, which claims a large portion of he* time. However, when named as one of the canvassers in the infantile paralysis canvass, Mrs. Coffield virtual ly stopped everything, went to work and succeeded in collecting $116.66, which is no small job when the size of the contributions are taken into consideration. Then a word of praise is due H. S. G. Verlander, who had charge of the canvass at the U. S. Marine Corps THE CHOWAN HEK AI.P. EDENTON, N. U.. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 11, 1343 Heard and j By “BUFF” J Not so long after some farmers, and cats, too, lost their homes due to the location of the U. S. Marine Corps Air Station, a very friedly cat hung around the office ot Olsen, Deitrick, Carr and J. E. Greiner, architects and engineer contractors at the base, until the office per sonnei adopted the feline as a mascot. The cat is usu-1 ally on hand when the workers arrive and has won the affection of the whole crowd. The other day, how - ever, the cat was not on hand as'usual and as a result some Concern was evidenced as. to what had happened. When speculation was about at its height, in walked ; M.is. Cat as usual, except that she had four kittens 1 trailing after her. The office crew at once adopted the kittens as mascots, but when it came to name? j ; err was some discussion, so that before any worn 1 was done by the base workers, they went into a huddle 1 to decide what to name the new mascots. It was t:,e.. 1 gem a. ag.ee,l that the kittens should be named I uls, Deitiick, Carr and Greiner, after the name of the ; a an-a,! h.g concern, and the las: I *e heard, t, - ; .o.u vats. ...- well, were very well phased. l; nrs las: c-ck enj*,*d a round table dts<.ussi..:i . - .a;, Ct having til da ,;h v hat should 1e *: j alter l .«*j war t-»».'injure a longer era oV- -pear** in lac* • i*\ . . a*.: was c • <i.u letl aia I hivag • l ni\* j sity round table style with Marvin Wiise ...nm • • .. , . I r.efy todai;;,.:; a::, sonic S--ft. f . :-.t a -:*'<• r.: but near the end of the program ,i. . ti dines summed up in a nut shell what the Ro t.irians v..-rt trying to snNe. Said John.: "Wien y.-t; know what to do with ;t boy in your community wno ii..s a superiority complex and thinks he is just a little better than the average boy, then you will know w:.a to do with a nation which plays a similar role.” o Raleigh Hollowed was the center of attraction at the Red Men’s meeting Monclay night, when he was dubbed "Grandpappy.” It all came about because Friend Hollowell had all of his teeth pulled out and was ex periencing no little difficulty in talking to the brothers When Frank Hughes asked what he can eat, Raleigh replied “thub.” Anyway our false teeth club is increas ing, except for Clayton Hollowell and Jesse Smith, who are still holdouts. They get along about as well with out artificial teeth as some of us do with ’em. .And then I’ve heard of one local fellow w r ho thought he’d save some money by ordering a set of teeth, which he found out is somewhat different from getting a good fit for a pair of shoes or a suit. o With shoes rationed, here’s one who will, welcome warm weather. What say we start a barefoot club among the men? As for the women, they are already I about half-way there with their toes already sticking out the front of their shoes and in summer weatner having a sole, heel and a strap or two to hold the thing? I to their feet. —o- —— - Maybe the ban on pleasure driving will be a boon for j the churches, for folks are allowed to drive to religious services (and that means night services, too, if you please). At any rate, Fess Branch, colored jack of all 1 trades down at the Chowan Motor Company, wanted to j be pretty sure before he drove his car to church, and j therefore, asked Chief of Police Helms about it. "What J church do you attend?" asked the Chief. Fess scratch- j ed his head and began: “Well, Ah goes to Ft. John’s, Canaan’s Temple, Warren’s Grove, Wild Cat Fork, Zion’s Hill, Peterson’s Chapel in Bertie and Ashland Church in Bertie.” He’s what I’d call a church man. —o • And speaking about rationing, it looks now as thuugn some of us might again be able to enjoy the sort of cooking our mothers did. Here’s one who remembers, as a boy at home, very seldom seeing a tin can opened whqn a meal was being prepared, and boy was that real j eating! At any rate, with so many things no\v being canned, some of those who prepare meals would be in | a dickens of a fix if Uncle Sam suddenly decided to I put can openers on the rationed list, if the old one t? : about played out. o— • ■ ,1. There’s no telling What rationing will do, though, 1 for take Julian Ward's shoe shop for. instance. Since shoes were ordered rationed, old shoes which look as though they were dragged out of the garbage can have already been brought in to be repaired. But if they do not fall to pieces, Friend Ward will, somehow, pur. a nail here ami a nail there to help out in a pinch. _— u I Another letter was received this week from one of our boys, Janies Harris, who is ip the Hawaiian island* (that’s no military secret, for, the Japs know darn well the Yanks ate there now). Anyway, Friend Harris i said he hoped the Edenton Christmas Party turned out all right and that from what he reads in The Herald the town must be growing all the time. Incidentally, lie says that The Herald is like a letter from home, but even then he would like to receive a letter from any body who has the time to write to a lonely sailor. His address is in The Herald office (which might be a military secret ). I notice in Preacher Schenck’s church notice that he emphasizes the fact that all pews in St. Paul’s Church are free, meaning, of course, that those who worship there may sit where they choose, Which reminds me of a joke (even if it has whiskers). At any rate, a shabbily-attired man happened to drop into a churci. and was comfortably seated when a well-dresseu ins:, approached the pew and said, “1 pay SSOO a year foi that pew.” The visitor cleared his throat a bit and replied. “Well,' you pay to damned much.” o And speaking about Preacher Schenck, he was in strumental in securing a new church paper for St. Pauls, which is scheduled to be printed monthly. It wa» Air Station. Mr. Verlander succeeded in raising over half of the total amount collected, which reflects his un selfish interest in the cause as well as the generosity of those he contacted. To date the air station workers have responded generously to every appeal for funds made in Edenton, which only goes to show that they are a considerate group of men and women having a sympathetic disposition for any movement of a worth while nature. The result of this year’s drive is a distinct credit to Edenton and Chowan County and goes to prove that our people are able and willing to part with their mone> for a Vorthy project. . .— *:( .™ . . “Has Your Husband Any OF Clothes?” “Y*\ an’ They’re On Him I” distributed in the church for the first time on, Sunday, and was very well received by the Congregation. It is a fine job on the part of "Editor” Schenck, though he is too modest to say so, and while he himself likes the result of his efforts, he says that aside from furnishing information about the church, it will enable mem bers of the congregation to read in stead of sleep while he is preaching. Os late, it seems, about the best way to get a crowd for almost any kind of a meeting is to have a “feed.” But this was not the case Tuesday night for the meeting t<> discuss price ceiling regulations held irt the Court House. The old building was filled to capacity, and the job of ; getting in at one time resembled a booth at a county fair where souve nirs were being given away. Well, something was given free and that was advice. OPA j-epresentative* used no sugar-coated language in in form mg those present that ceiling i price regulations will be enforced and i if I get the proper impression there are some, even in Edenton, who lack a lot of meeting the requirements to j date. H may seem hard, hut as on* I of the speakers said, in the last war ; the boys doing the fighting ate beans i while those at home enjoyed meats j and other high class foods, but that j this time the boys in uniform will vet ! the meat and we at home will get j the beans —which is as it should be, j whether you like it or not. o Father McCourt, who is chairman of the Chowan Chapter of the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paraly sis, called our attention to an error in a' story appearing in last week's Herald. The amount raised in the 1942 campaign was listed as $167.40, • which should have been j $107.40. And he’s liable to be on his I ear the next time 1 see him for to i day’s figure was arrived at after one 1 report after another came in and this | and that contribution added, so that ; if I have the figure right to a penny jl am entitled to a’ medal. At any I rate, a few cents either way. will not (detract from the outstanding achieve ment of this year’s drive for funds With which to combat infantile paralysis. Mrs. Charlie Russell hits a pet chicken which is apparently eontri j but in g to the war effort. The hen,, ; which has been a pet since she wits a biddy, on Friday night slept on the back porch of the Russel! home. Go ing to the porch Saturday morning j to allow the hen to go into the yard,. Mrs Russell found two eggs which j were laid during the night, for she’s sure there were no eggs on the porch to start with. Maybe Mrs. Hen anticipated a hearty appetite on the part of Mr. Russell, who does night work at the power plant and gets home ready for a hearty breakfast — unless some one staged an oyster roast at the power plant the night before. Oh. yes, he eats ’em! Mrs. C, R. Mason also has a hen working on a wartime basis. Though this particular hen very frequently lays an egg with two yolks, the other dav she presented the Mason household with an egg measuring 9x7 inches. Upon breaking open the egg, Mrs. Mason found three fully de veloped yolks to put on the family table. Gosh, who would mind buy ing a dozen or so of that brand ? Lions Hold Another Meal-less Meeting Almost a 100 per cent meeting was registered by the Lions Club Monday night in Hotel Joseph Hewes, when the club held another mealless meet ing. A number of reports were pre sented during the meeting and de spite the fact that meetings of late have been interrupted, interest in the club and the various activities is not lagging. Efforts are still underway to se cure a place for weekly meetings where dinner can be served. Church Paper Makes Debut At St Paul’s t - Congregation Delighted! With New Paper, “Messenger” t! ■ l ’ Those who worshipped at St. Paul’s j ' Church Sunday were pleasantly sur e prised to find in their pews an at ’ | tractive church paper, “Saint Paul’s Messenger,” which is edited by the V; rector of the church, the Rev. Lewis f F. Schenck. The Messenger is made 1 up of four 6x9-irich pages, with the ‘ front page carrying an attractive | ’ etching of the old church. 4 1 All four pages are filled with in " ' terestiug reading matter and in i eludes a welcome to all who worship j - there, a monthly letter from the 1 Rector, schedule of: services and cal e endar for the month, as well as ' other interesting activities of the ’ church. Members of the congregation Were r delighted to read the church paper, | 5 which is scheduled to be printed ? monthly in the future.

Some of the people that send in poetry don’t alwaye ! write It themselves. They just copy • piece they like real well, and | Bend that in. Os course they sign their own name to It. because they don’t know how muen trouble that might get them Into, and besidea, they think it’s worth the risk, just to get Into print under such good poetry. Well, the country editors are on the lookout for that kind of staff, and some of them are pretty well up on the big writers anyhow. On# ' day a guy came In and introduced himself to the editor and handed him a poem with his name signed to it. “This is mighty good verse,” tike editor says. “Thanks.
