RADIO ADDRESS DELIVERED IN BEHALF OF ROBERT LEE HUMBER’S CANDIDACY Five Minute Address in behalf of Robert Lee Humber’s Candi dacy for Congress Delivered by Jack Edwards, Attorney, on Tuesday, May 14, 1946, over Sta tion WGTG, Greenville, North Carolina. Ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience; voters of the First Con gressional District: It is a great pleasure and a signal honor to have the privilege of ad dressing you in behalf of your friend and mine, that firm and loyal citizen of this district, Robert Lee Humber. In the brief time alloted, I shall endeavor to set the record straight on just one point which, together with many others, has been used by the opposition in attempting to confuse your minds respecting the manner in which the present Representative of the First District is regarded in Con gress. According to the Congressional pi rectory of the 79th Congress, Ist Ses sion, copy of which I have before me, the present Representative is a mem ber of seven of the forty-eight stand ing committees of the House. T assert to you that none of these seven com mittees are considered outstanding or of great importance. On the Accounts Committee, the Invalid Pensions Committee and the War Claims Com mittee the present Representative is third in rank. On the Merchant Mar ine and Fisheries Committee he is seventh in rank. On Roads he is sixth in rank. On Un-American Activities he is last in rank among the six dem ocrats of the Committee. There are also three Republicans on this com mittee who, of course, do not out- 1 rank him in a Democratic Congress; nor do the Republicans of the other committees of which he is a member. He is chairman of the Committee on the Election of President, Vice Pres ident, and Representatives in Con gress. But this committee is largely perfunctory and seldom has any leg islation referred to it. N'ow please let me remind you that alt members of the House serve on several committees unless the commit tee is an important one such as Ways and Means, Agriculture, Appropria tions, Naval or Military Affairs, in which case the Congressman may j serve on only one committee due to the volume of business necessary to be handled. Some of these important commit tees are the following (and may I be permitted again to call your attention to the fact that the present Repre sentative of this district is not a member of a single one of these im portant committees): Ways and Means, Appropriations, Agriculture, i S Education. Rules, Insular Affairs, Ju- j dietary, Military-Affairs, Naval As-j fairs.' fWv?rs and Harbors, Post Os- 1 J — s AN ANNOUNC EMENT Weldon A. Hollowell j Candidate For Prosecuting Attorney I respectfully ask your vote and support of my candidacy for the office of Prosecuting Attorney for Chowan County in the Democratic Primary May 25th. If elected l promise to fulfill this office to the best of my ability and with credit to the county. Your vote and support will be greatly appreciated. WBiMN A. HOLLOWELL S __ —2 USED HEAVY I BURLAP BAGS I FOR SALE Suitable to carry potatoes. 1 Also have other grades. WIRE INQUIRIES COLLECT I SMITHFIELD BAGGING CO., INC. I Wilson Mills, N. C. I fice and Post Roads, Mines and Min ing, Labor, Interstate and Foreign Commerce, Foreign Affairs, Banking and Currency, Coinage, Weights and Measures, District of Columbia, Im migration and Naturalization, World War Veteran’s Legislation, War Claims, Pensions, Civil Service, Claims and several others of which he is not a member. It is an absurdity, therefore, and contrary to all sense and reason when it is even suggested that the present Congressman of this district had any thing to do with the vast shipping during the war simply because he hap pened to be a member of the unimpor tant legislative committee of Merch ant Marine and Fisheries. I have written to the clerk of this commit tee, of which Congressman Bland of Newport News, Virginia, is the Chairman, asking the number of times it has met during this, the 79th Congress, the hills which have been considered by it, and which, if any have been reported out of the Committee, were enacted into law by the Congress. If any work of im portance has been done by this Com mittee, you and I should be very much surprised. It is certainly not important enough to keep Mr. Bland, its Chairman, from serving on three other committees of the House. Even if it were one of the most im portant, it would be just as ridicu lous to intimate that a member of it was responsible for the vast operation of our Merchant Marine as it would be to say that a member of the great Agriculture Committee brought about the production of all the cotton, corn, peanuts, tobacco, potatoes, wheat and I many other crops which are raised and marketed in this great Nation of ours. What could be more ridiculous than a statement of that kind to our farmers ? A legislative committee considers and passes upon bills, which may or may not become laws. It certainly has nothing to do with the enormous op erating forces which carry on daily the gigantic industry of our people either on the land or on the sea. Robert Lee Humber would not per mit his friends to distort or exagger ate facts in order to give him an ad- , vantage even if they should make an | effort to do so. We know and the op position asserts that Robert Humber is Stalwart and true; that he is a gen tleman of the highest degree. His soundness and knowledge, his ability and energy and his tireless efforts for the masses of the people qualify him to represent us in the Halls of Con gress. At this I am proud to join the overwhelm j ing majority of the voters of my j County in voting for Robert Lee | Humber. 1 Thank You 1 . ~~~ THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. N. C„ THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1946. Renew Strawberry Bed Home Agent Says The Conservation Committee on Food recommended through the Chow an County Home Agent at the Na tional Conference that the old straw berry bed be renewed. If the plants have been crowded out by weeds, it may be best to start a new row. Two crops from the original plants are the most profitable. Narrow down the matted row to 8 to 10 inches in width and cultivate the middles between the rows. If the variety makes many run ner plants, thin plants in row’s to 8 to 10 inches apart in row. Apply 2 quarts of 5-10-5 fertilizer to 50 feet of row. Apply part on each side of row and part over the plants. Brush fertilizer off the plants with a broom. Spray grapes with Bordeaux fix ture before and after bloom for con trol of black rot disease on fruit. Sgt. John Privott Now Stationed In Japan Sgt. John W.

MAY FASHION SHOW AT COLORED HIGH The annual Queen of the May fash ion show was presented recently hy members of the Home Economics De partment of the Edenton Colored Sentinels I of Health 1 Don’t Neglect Them! Nature designed the kidneys to do a marvelous job. Their task is to Veep the flowing blood stream free of an excess of toxic impurities. The act of living life itself —is constantly producing waste matter the kidneys must remove from the blood if good heath is to endure. When the kidneys fail to function as Nature intended, there is retention of waste that may cause body-wide dis tress. One may suffer nagging backache, . persistent headache, attacks of dizziness, getting up nights, swelling, puffiness under the eyes —feel tired, nervous, all worn out. Frequent, scanty or burning passages are sometimes further evidence of kid ney or bladder disturbance. The recognized and proper treatment is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys get rid of excess poisonous body waste. Use Doan’s Pill». They have had more than forty years of public approval.
