THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT YOU MUST HEED TOO: Blessed is the man that heareth men, watching daily at my gates.—Fvo. 8:34. Another Bull’s Eye It is encouraging to note that Chowan County has again met and even exceeded its Quota in the Red Cross Fund Raising Campaign, Chairman J. Clarence Leary reporting early this week that contributions totaled $3,000, which is SSOO above the $2,500 quota set for the ■ounty. The drive was rather discouraging at the outset when early reports failed to come up to expectations, and but for persistant efforts on the part of Chairman Leary and his co-workers, Chowan might have default- j ed for the first time in meeting a Red Cross quota. ; While somewhat disappointed early in the drive, Mr. Leary did not give up hope for he felt certain Chowan j .'ounty people would again rally to the Red Cross ap peal and contribute their fair share. This year’s quota was considerably below that of ast year, which no doubt had some effect on individual j .ontributions, but when contributions appeared lacking j to meet the quota, it didn't take long for the people of the county to dig down in their jeans and raise ! ■nough to maintain the county’s long record of meet ing Red Cross quotas. Chairman Leary is very appreciative for the time and effort given by canvassers and for the contributions made by people all over the county, and The Herald joins in complimenting Mr. Leary and all concerned for another job well done. In The Limelight Two Edenton youngsters are in the limelight this week, one being Miss Charlotte Bunch and the other Philip McMullan, Jr. Miss Bunch has been honored by her election as j president of the Eastern District of the North Caro- | Tina State Student Council Congress at a meeting held j at Kinston. Her election came as a surprise, though j Miss Bunch merits the honor. She is one of the most i active and popular students we’ve seen at the Edenton j school in a long time, having taken part in many ac- ! tivities since she. as a tot, graced the Edenton High j School Band as a drum majorette. She has done a j Splendid job in all of her undertakings, so that it is a ! safe bet she will perform her new duties -with credit | to herself and the school. The Herald congratulates her upoh; the election and j joins with her fellow students and teachers iii a feeling [ of just pride. The other youngster is Philip McMullan. Jr Accord ing to information received by The Herald from De- • troit just as The Herald forms were being.closed: young ! McMiilian is an entrant in the 1.946 competition of the 1 Fisher Body Craftsman’s Guild for building no-del . automobiles and Napoleonic roaches. Thousands of youths throughout the country will compete for prizes which total >?.">.non, including eight university scholar ships. i Philip is one of the most loyal Edenton Bov Scouts, who takes his work seriously, and even if he doesn't win one of the awards, he can be depended upon to give a good account of himself in the contest. The Herald, too, congratulates him for being ar- ; THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... '’’kA j#Ta IIH |W --jA PKSHFk, GEORGE: “Yes, I certainly would like to hear why you call that an old fashioned idea, Judge.” OLD JUDGE: “Glad to tell you, George. Until recently, a person known as an al coholic was generally treated as a social outcast. Little if anything was done to understand him or hHp him. But, during the past few years, medical research and study has developed that alcoholics are really sick people... that there is usually a deep rooted physical, social or emotional reason behind their behavior. That's why today so ♦ Heard & Seen By “Buff” ~ —» Maybe it’s no need to have an election in May, for about a dozen returned veterans the other night held an “election” in Ed Habit’s beer parlor. I couldn’t learn the whole slate of officers, but found out that Robert ! Rawls was “elected" Mayor; James Bond, Treasurer (he works in the bank), and William Barrow, Street Com l missioner. When all in the group had an office, they realized that they had no Sheriff, so they decided the next returned veteran who entered the place would be the Sheriff. John Skiles happened to be the next one to put in an appearance and was “elected” Sheriff. The group went into a huddle and immediately issued an or der to the new Sheriff to go out and collect enough taxes - for another round of beer. o-—“—r— : A sign which is attracting quite a bit of attention these days is the one in the former Ziegler Building now ! owned by S. W. Taylor. The large sign is to the effect J that the building will be transformed into another then- | ter which will seat 450 people, thus giving Edenton two j picture shows. The work will get under way as soon as ; materials are available. o— —— . Yep, the weather has been splendid lately, but even then some of the boys going fishing get fooled. Take j Henry Gardner, for instance. He tried his luck Satur day afternoon down *Yeopiin River way and wore an old pair of basketweave pants. After the sun began to go down and a stiff breeze continued to blow, Henry said j the ineshes in his pants felt as large as those of a her i ring net. At any rate, he was shivering about as much j as a herring when caught in a net. Oh. yes, the result j j of the trip—seven fish caught by three fishermen. I Chief Petty Officers and their guests had a big time j at the CPO Club Saturday night when an old time j ; square dance was featured. The dance tloor was filled j with dancers for each set, but the trouble is that it’s too j much dancing at one time. The bloomin' orchestra) played pieces which had about 90 verses to them, and I j f don’t see how Sid Ward could hold out much longer | shoving the bow back and forth across his fiddle. But. then, that’s the square dane way, I reckon. o At the Edenton base there are the Officers’ Club, the j Chief Petty Officers' Club and the Enlisted Men’s Club, which equals the clubs in Edenton—the 'Possum Club,; the Black Whip and the latest one, the Coffee Club, ij know the principal function of the 'Possum Club—eat-j ing, while I never have learned anything about the j Black Whip. However, I understand members of the j Coffee Club gather each morning to sip a cup o’ coffee and discuss or cuss things in general in Edenton. • — C> ~ Edenton has lost one of its most loyal “employees,” | all because Frank passed away the other day. Frank I was only a dog but he had just about as much infelli- j • gence as a lot of people. For about 10 years he followed j j equipment of the Street Department and was as regular j to report every morning, except Sunday, as any human ! I could be. Frank, who was owned by John (I. Small, evi- j j dent I y sensed his death, for when leaving on that day he! ' went to Mr. Small and placed his head in his lap before ! j going to “work." In fact Mr. Small for many years let ’ \ Frank out about 4 o'clock each morning, and many times the dog awakened someone in the house to be turned ; | out. A fitting burial was held by members of the Street ; Department. Frank being interred hear the Town’s trash ! ; pile, where he had gone time arid again with the town's j j equipment. Frank had a lot of friends in Edenton, and I he- will be greatly missed by all who work on the Street ! Department. Which ren inds me -if what Chief of Police George Dai! -aid the other day. after he had occasion to speak to a local -man, who, he said, apparently didn't have any i reason.

Judge?" OLD JUDGE: “ Well, according to scientific research, 95% of the people who drink, drink sensibly. 5% do so unwisely, at times. Included in that 5% is the small percentage of the sick people I’m talking about.” GEORGE: "That certainly gives me a clearer picture. It's the most sensible ap proach I’ve ever heard on the subject" f • ■ - ■ 'iTi i This tUnrUstmnl spmumsd hy Csttfmmtt AlmktikMmsMf Imdm+im, fat. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N.
