PAGE FOUR The Chowan Herald Published every' Thursday by The Chowan Herald, a partnership consisting of J. Edwin Bufflap and Hector Lupton, at 423-426 South Broad Street, Edenton, N. C. J. EDWIN BUFFLAP-- --Editor HECTOR LUPTON Advertising Manager SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year fHS Six Months —?L00 Cards of thanks, obituaries, resolutions of respect, etc., will be charged for at regular advertising rates. Entered as second-class matter August 30, 1934, at the Post Office at Edenton, North Caro lina, under the act of March 3, 1870. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1946 Who’s Complaining, Anyhow? With what one hears every now and then, it would ap pear that the whole town is vitally concerned about any particular action taken by Town Council, the Police De partment or any other public official for that matter. This idea, however, fades somewhat in light of re turned postcards in the police questionnaire of last week. J Over 450 self-addressed postcards were distributed among people who were expected to be interested in problems which have been the target for complaint and criticism. On the postcards was listed a series-of problems, so that the recipient had only to check his or her opinions and drop in a mail box. Early this week Chief of Police George Dail had re reived only 115 cards of the 450 distributed, which tends t.> show that not as many people apparently are con- : corned as a comparatively few would like to make be- j lieve. The comparison may bo likened to one rotten j opple affecting all in a basket in that apparently a few ' people find reason to criticize just about anything that is j done and as a result tend to arouse and get the re- j mainder of the population excited and in ail uproar over . matters about which, after all, they have little concern. It is just impossible to please everybody. Just About Forgotten It will be noted that Town Council on Monday night authorized the Board of Public orks to have lights in stalled on Hicks Field, the installation cost being esti mated at $7,000, which will come from water and electric earnings. There has been quite a bit of agitation for the lights which will permit night baseball, football, as well as other out-door activities, and after quite a lengthy discussion. Town Council passed a motion authorizing the lights. Would it not be a good idea to dedicate these lights to our boys and girls who served in the armed forces? It is a fair question to ask just what Chowan County has done in appreciation of the splendid service on the part of. Chowan's veterans. The answer to date, of course, is, ‘Exactly nothing,” unless it has been done under a j mantle of strict secrecy. It will be remembered that no little talk was heard during the war to erect a memorial of some sort ranging all the way from a plaque containing all the names to a swimming pool or gymnasium as a permanent memorial. It is also remembered that the County. Commissioners earmarked a sum of money for this purpose. V\ ill a memorial materialize or not? If not, it seems as though as little as could be done would be to dedicate the lights on Hicks Field to our brave men and women who made many sacrifices to the end that we still have an oppor tunity to have a lighted field and enjoy such games as baseball and football. Sympathy Not Enough Ch’owan County .citizens-were shocked last week when the sad news was received that the* Percy Mct'leney fam i;y was almost wiped out as the result of a terrible wreck v.-ar Oxford. Six ..f a family of eight are dead, while wo of.the children are patients in .a hospital with arms and. legs broken. The accident is another ~f a;long series adding to the iHE OLD JUDGE SAYS.. • OLD JUDGE: “Hank, you’re a big grain producer... let me ask you a question or two?” HANK: “Glad to have you, Judge.” OLD JUDGE:" Do you think the grain used by distillers is wasted as some folks are saying?” HANK: “I certainly do Not! As a matter of fact, it is just the opposite.” OLD JUDGE: “How do you figure that, ( Hank?" , HANK: “From my own experience and from reports I’ve read. For the year endin' 0— - Heard & Seen By “Buff” 4.... - ♦ Maybe today will be my last day as a Rotarian, all because Pm liable to be kicked out. Nope, I haven’t violated any of the Rotary rules, but last week I stated in a story that the Rotarians would hold Ladies’ night in the Armory, when as a matter of fact the party was I scheduled to be held in the library at the school, and 1 knew it. The only excuse I can give is that I had the armory on my tnind pretty strong, for I had received an invitation early in the week to attend an oyster roast there Friday night. I’ve caught the dickens from a gang of the Rotarians already, but according to reports, j they got the matter straightened out in that nobody mis-J sed the affair by going to the Armory instead of the school. o— Among the cards sent back to the Police Department in last week’s questionnaire was one signed "The Whip,” Only one question was checked, that one being that the police arc enforcing laws too rigidly. Who or what is "The Whip,” anyhow ? o An Edenton Sailor would like to read three books j written by Inglis Fletcher, “Raleigh’s Eden,” “Men of ! Albemarle” and “Lusty Wind For Carolina.” Heex- j pressed the hope that someone has read the books and' has no further use of them. This boy would like to buy | ’em at a reduced price, and if they are available, I’d glad ly inform the boy where he can get ’em. ■ o Add another advantage to lights on Hicks Field (if left burning long enough): Breaking up parking of cars all over the place at night. Might also be a good idea toj put some of the lights back of the colored school building' and near the water at Blount and Granville streets. But, 1 then that might be breaking up some “recreation,” j o * ) Frank Muth's letter finally got to me from Trenton ! addressed as follows: "Councilman-at-large (eat too, j much to make you large), Street Commissioner Extra-J { ordinary. Document Concerning Sidewalk.” I “I know property is going up, but I didn't know side-; walks were going up,” said Frank. “In front of Hon. E. T. Rawlinson’s house the sidewalk is gradually rising up and if it keeps on rising, Mr. Rawlinson will have grounds for suit, for the sidewalk will get high enough to allow pedestrians to look straight into Mr. Rawlin son's second floor windows. The sidewalk is really dan gerous, especially at night, and if one were ‘intoxiper-j ferated’ he might find this sidewalk flying up and hit- ; ting him in the face.” Friend Frank wound up his let ter by saying he hoped I was well, happy and contented (like cows). But how in the dickens can a lowly street commissioner be contented when quite a few sidewalks i such as referred to are all over our town and to remedy j some of them would mean little less than a civil war? slaughter taking place on the highways, and while no blame, so far as The Herald has heard, has been fixed for this particular accident, it should tend to emphasize the danger lurking on highways and cause drivers to be more careful, The death toll as the result of automobile accidents is appalling and in most of the cases, wrecks could have been avoided and lives spared with the exercise of a rea sonable amount of ordinary good judgment. Relatives of the unfortunate family live in the Rocky j Hock section, and they have the deepest sympathy of a, great number of people. But, characteristic of the Rocky. Hock people, sympathy is not enough to adequately ex press their feelings in such a time as this, so that a spe- j cial offering will be taken at the Rocky Hock Baptist Church next Sunday morning to help defray hospital,; funeral, and other expenses. It is hoped that a substan tial sum will be realized, for expenses already have; reached a high figure. The Rocky Hock people are not selfish in this, venture,l so that anyone who desires to have a part may give or send to Rodney Harrell, treasurer of the church, any contribution desired, which will go for the purpose in tended. ; .4 last June, the distillers produced over 1,200,000,000 pounds of distillers’ dried grains... the best feed supplements we can lay our hands on. They are rich in nutrients. Why... I’ve never had such fat dairy cows, livestock and poultry as I have since I’ve been usin’ these dried grains.” OLD JUDGE: “How do you use them. Hank?” HANK: "I blend them in with original grain. This balanced ration has far greater Med value than the original grain itself. I can cut down on my whole grain feeding about 20% and still get better results.” Tlfl ffrr" AkMitMmtrtttlmMrtm.il*- TOE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. N. C., THUKauAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1946. Pre -School Clinics Scheduled Be Held Monday, March 11 Parents Urged to Ac company Children to Discuss Findings Announcement was made this Week 1 by the local Health Department that a pre-school clinic will be held in! | Edenton High School Monday morn-j ling, March 11, from 9 to 12 o’clock! | and at Chowan High School on the; same day from 1 to 3 I*. M. Dr. W. P, Jordan, local health officer, and i his staff,, will conduct both clinics. ’ Other school dates will be announced later. Parents of children entering school for the first time this fall are urgent- 1 ly reminded to bring their children to the clinic, along with certificates from \ a doctor or Health Department show- , j ing proof of their immunization. Pro tection against whooping cough, diph j theria and smallpox is required of I each child before entering school. Parents are cordially invited to at-, i tend the clinic with their children in ' order to learn and discuss the find ings with the doctor and correct anyj defects that may be found. Demonstration In Ditch Blasting In j Bear Swamp Area j Through the assistance of Howard M. Ellis, Extension Agricultural En-j gineer, of State College, Raleigh, a j ditch blasting demonstration has been! arranged with T. O. Asbell and J. P. j MeNider in the Bear Swamp area. The land to be drained lies between two of the laterals of the Bear Grass Swamp drainage system. The main ' drainage ditch is inadequate to re move the wgter from this area. The proposed ditch is to provide an ade -1 quate outlet to one of the laterals. I Mr. Ellis has agreed to conduct a'[ I demonstration on ditching with dyna mite for blasting this ditch through | to the lateral. With the shortage of j labor it is hoped that this demonstra tion will stimulate interest among; farmers in this area toward using this type of opening up ditches where conditions lend themselves to same. Announcement of this demonstration will be made as soon as final arrange ments are complete.
