THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT THIS IS NO MERE HEARSAY MATTER: That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fel lowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. —1 John 1:3. All Can Help Though there is a national movement on foot to col lect canned fruit, vegetables and meat to be sent to war torn countries in order to help stave off starvation of millions of unfortunate people, The Herald has not learn ed of any particular person being appointed to head up the campaign in Chowan County. This is another very worthy cause, and one in which Chowan County might | be expected to do its full share. Chowan, while not having what may be termed rich people, is fortunate in that there is plenty to eat and many, especially in the rural section, have larders well stocked so that there is plenty to eat for months to come, and more will be added during the summer can ning season. Members of home demonstration clubs in Chowan | County realize the situation prevailing in foreign lands, t and have decided to give of their food in an effort to help keep someone from starving. Every family is ask ed to contribute three cans of fruit, vegetables, or meat, but if three cannot be given, one will help. This food is to be brought to the May meeting of each club, but in order to secure a creditable contribution arrangements have been made to leave food at a number of places throughout the county, where not only club members but others as well can make a contribution of food. The list of places appears in a front page story. It is very commendable on the part of rural people to join in helping to secure food for the starving and it is a case guess that a goodly amount will be contributed. However, the same obligation rests upon those who live in Edenton, so that if no county chairman is appointed contribution can be made at the places listed. None of us in Chowan County will go hungry by contributing | three cans of food, and at the same time this food might go a long way in helping to save one or more ! lives. Another Job Well Done Typical of the way Chowan County people respond to j a worthy cause is. reflected in Jesse Harrell's report j Wednesday morning that contributions in the cancer I drive netted over $436, with the report still incomplete. The quota for the county was,. s32a, so that once agam the county not only did what was asked, but went be vend. Nobody will be any poorer for having made a ; contribution and there is the satisfaction of knowing that each contribution will have: a part ip combatting our j number one enemy. j The. Herald compliments Chairman Harrell,, his group j of canvassers and those who made contributions in again ! doing a good job for a worthy cause. “All Is Well” Edenton has a newcomer in the person of the .Rev. j R. X. Carroll, who succeeds the Rev. E. L. Wells as J pastor of the Edenton Baptist Church. With the Rev. Mr. ! Carroll is. Mrs. Carroll,who will reside at Morris Circle ! until a new parsonage can be erected for them across- [ the. street from the church. Both are no doubt encourag ed by the splendid congregations greeting them Sun- | Penelope Barker Hotel For Sale To Highest Bidder ❖ Due to the fact that we plan in the very near future to begin construction of our new store building in Eden ton, we are offering for sale to the highest bidder the present Penelope Barker Hotel building.

C„ THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1946, Heard & Seen By “Buff” 4 Easter is over, of course, but little Arthur Chap pell came in the office the other day saying that he wTote a piece for The Herald about Easter. I’m not going to let him down either, so here is what he wrote: When Easter comes everyone is happy. People have egg hunts. They play games. They have a lot of fun on Easter. Do you know why we have Easter? Easter is the day Jesus was killed by the people. When they killed Jesus they nailed him on the cross. There were two other crosses, one on each side. The men that were nailed on them were mean men who had been taken out of jail. Jesus did not live long on the cross. He said a few words before He died. One of the things He said was that He would rise from the dead in three days. Another was He told one of His men to take Mary home. Another was His last words. He said, , “Father forgive these people for they do not know what they are doing." Those were the last words of Jesus. But Jesus kept His word. Three days later people i found Jesus’ coffin opened and His body was gone. The : people were afraid that someone had stolen the body of their Master. Jesus’ men were in a room talking with ' the doors and windows locked. All of a sudden Jesus * appeared. The men did not believe that He was Jesus j because He had changed. Then He showed them the holes in His hands. Then Jesus said, “1 have risen from j the dead, but I shall not live with you here on earth. I > will go to heaven to live with my Father.” Then Jesus : disappeared. i o ( i Again this week a number of news articles were ob i liged to be left out, one of which was an account of the t baseball game Sunday afternoon between the Edenton j j Sluggers and Elizabeth City Firefighters, two colored I teams. The Firefighters finally won 9 to 6 after over three hours of playing and arguing. The arguments were caused by the base umpire, but not a squeak was heard about Dick Outlaw’s work behind the bat. Not j that Dick had anybody scared, but he naturally called a j good game on balls and strikes. o And speaking about baseball, the proposed revival of the Albemarle League has some tough sledding, and at the moment it appears as though the jig is up. How ever, tonight representatives from Edenton, Elizabeth City and Hertford are scheduled to meet in Elizabeth City in an effort to organize a league representing these three towns. Well, that's the way it was some years ago when there could have been no more interest and competition and when crowds of rooting fans really turned out. Anyway, Jim Daniels was elected president of the league, presided over part of one meeting and then was out of a job. The word is that the baseball team at the Edenton Naval Air Station is scheduled to be busted up due to most of the players being subject to be transferred, so that now prospects appear slim for base | ball here this summer, and a good baseball park not be ] ing used. Anyway, here’s hoping the boys tonight in i Elizabeth City can get lined up for a three-team loop, j —o— There's not many who like the job of serving as jurors I i at various terms of court, and there are very few times that excuses are not made to keep from serving. How | ever, on Monday those summoned for jury duty made ' two bucks very easy. The court convened and adjourned in less than 30 minutes, which isn’t bad money even in j these days of high salaries. o With some States and communities observing daylight saving time and others not, it looks as though we’re in J for a general mix-up. Well, with different times ob- : j served here and there, maybe the clocks on the Citizens | | Hank think. “Oh, what's the use of running, anyway.” | ; day, and with the congregation pleased With the pastor and the pastor pleased with the congregation, continued | | progress should be the portion of the local Baptist j Church. The Rev, Mr. Weils, veteran pastor, has retired after j 35 years of service, and with the reception of the new | pastor and the apparent unanimity of purpose on the ! part of minister and congregation he leaves his work j in all probability feeling that “all is well.” The Herald welcomes Mr. and Mrs. Carroll to our j community and hopes his ministry here will be so j pleasant that he will continue as long as his predecessor. Directors Abandon Albemarle League Hope Lingers For Loop With E. City, Hertford And Edenton With progress gradually being made 1 in reviving the Albemarle League, the bottom dropped out at a meeting held in the- Court House Thursday night of last week when representa tives of various towns failed to agree on the number of games to be play ed per week, and as a result the idea of a six team circuit was abandoned. Windsor and Harrellsville represen tatives contended that, due to the fact that their players were county boys, it would be impossible to play more than three games per week, while other representatives advanced the argument that three games would not raise enough revenue to pay for four hired players as provided by the lea gue. After hearing arguments pro and . con, W. J. Daniels, president of the league, requested the directors to ad journ and consider what action should be taken and while in session they voted to disband. The directors pre sent were A. W. Hefren of Hertford, W. W. Johnson of Windsor, Lori mer Midgett of Elizabeth City and Graham Byrum of Edenton. Although the league as planned was abandoned, there is still hope that baseball will be provided for fans, for Greeting Cards For All Occasions Cam pen’s JEWELERS FOR County Commissioner I hereby announce my can didacy for County Commis sioner from the First Town ship. subject to the Democratic Primary on May 25, 1946.
