THIS W EEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT LOVE SURVIVES ALL: Many waters cannot quench | love, neither can the-floods drown it; if a man would j give all the substance of his house for love, it would ut- j terly be contemned. —-Song of Solomon 8:7. Logical Source For Action Chowan County Commissioners at their meeting Mon- J day agreed to add an appropriation in the budget for j employing an assistant county agent, and while discus sing the idea with District Agent Troy Ferguson, at- ; terition was called to the fact that Chowan farmers are j vitally interested in methods for growing more ami I better type. Virginia peanuts, in fact, if'-was empha- j sized that unless something, is done in the 1 aro.liiia-\ ir ginia area to improve the peanut crop, States farther j southwill before very long croud Ch<nvan farmers out of the picture. It was pointed out that volumes of information have ' ■ been- prepared by experiment stations regarding grow ing tobacco, corn and other crops, while practically no information is available concerning peanuts. More data is necessary and a movement for vital in formation might as well, start in Chowan c ou’uty ami apparently will; for file Coinmissioners will, upon the return of Representative John W. Graham, insist upon devoting hi:s .efforts -in the Gem-ntl Assembly touard ,mire attention given to peanuts at experiment stations.. In fact, it Would not be amiss to send a delegation to . Raleigh when the Legislature is. in session, Dairymen did that Very tiling and got some relief, and other dele gations. too] have been hem-fitted by presenting their demands. The peanut crop s th*- life-line of Chowan County and if, because of lack .of. up-to-date methods, more and better peanuts are raised, in other states; the ‘County ■vill greatly suffer. The peanut crop is just as Import ; ant to Chowan County as is tobacco, dairying and other crops in various sections «*f the State, it deserve- us ■inch attention on the part of experiment stations-: If s time to demand such service and the pressure >i ight as well start in Chowan County. Edentonians Honored Edenton arid James E. Wood in particular .wer, sig nally honored last week when Mr. Wood was elected president of the National I.Variut Council- That Mr. Wood’s ability is recognized by the. South's two hundred million dollar peanut industry is reflected in the fact that he was chosen from a group of more than 400 peanut farmers, processors and shippers who attended the national convention held at Virginia Beach. He has for many years been prominently identified with the industry, so that his interests and activities have warranted the confidence of members of the industry j to place him at the helm of at. organization which is , facing the need for more research and promotion to maintain peaiiuts as the South’s fifth, largest and per haps its most profitable crop. The Herald predicts a successful year for the Peanut Council under the leadeship of Mr. Wood. Another Edenton peanut man. W. W. Byrum, was al so honored by being elected as one, of the’4l directors of the organization, so that The Hcaid congratulates . both of these men. Will Their Cry Go Unheeded?

' ' MITCHENER’S PHARMACY RALPH E. PARRISH ALBEMARLE CAFE BYRUM HARDWARE CO. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1946. « Heard & Seen By “Buff” After a rather stormy start, the Albemarle Baseball .eague finally opened the season Sunday and though only three teams decided to carry on, three others join ed the ranks to make a six-team circuit. The league is made up of Edenton, Hertford, Elizabeth City, Camden, Windsor and Coierain. Jim Daniels is president of the league, but he’s not like he used to be. He paraded to the pitcher’s mound to throw the first ball to open the league, but the bloomin’ ball hit the ground before reaching Howard Phipps. Os course, Jim will not admit he’s slipping, claiming that he threw a drop. Anyway, during the game conversations turned back to the days when Jim, Caleb Goodwin and Fred Wood formed an outfield, of which any team could be proud. ———o — And speaking about Sunday’s game, another old-time baseball player was rather prominent, for Joe Webb was the umpire. And, believe it or not, not a whimper from plavers on either team was heard about Joe s de cisions. Here’s hoping that the umpiring during the season will be as satisfactory as the game Joe called Sunday afternoon. - What was expected to be a general wrangle turned out to be a rather orderly meeting when, on Monday afternoon, another meeting was held regarding the selection of a site for the Chowan hospital. Prior to the meeting evervbody appeared to be in a jovial mood, and as far as outward appearances are concerned no body was mad after the meeting. Which is as it should lx- ' Os course, the e are differences of opinion as to the proper location of the hospital, but the future welfare | I ~f the hospital and Edenton as well are at stake, which ( I require serious, thought and study. It is no time for] I hot-headed ness and Hying off the handle. o — ' Arthur Hotiowell had a new experience; Wednesday uronunir. He shipped a dog t»> his son-in-law and ] daiißhtur. - art* now living in Massachusetts, and dWovewd that there iis a lot of red tape connected with j shipping a dog. let atone a great deal of trouble fixing] a box:. 'At am rate he said he valued the dog at s2*it' , All. -i a- a .natter of fact- the critter isn’t worth two, . ont-s. p,ut jtist; the. same, the dog and the recipients ;- \\ i! : ho glad 'ah- n he reaches his new home. ,'lust- about the most discussed subject locally these ; days 'concerns reports relative to closing the, Edenton j Naval .Air. Station. However, on Wednesday morning as this column was written it sounded as though the . base was getting in full swing again, for many planes, were living over the town. So many folks "know what’s going to happen at the base that it s no use ! mentioning anything in The Herald. Though there, were ho.: graduating exercises at the j .Edenton schi’o! this veyr. Charles Baker Was one of the four who actually graduated, and has a rather unique, record lit that lie is the first: boy,to graduate as a war veteran;. .

T(»imi»v Manning, who operate s IHo Herald s inter type machine, entered Albemarle Hospital Tuesday j morning for an operation, so that here s one who has had and w ill have a load to carry until Tommy comes i back. Anyway, here's hoping he gets along as well as I did about two year*-ago w hen 1 was in the same tix. Blowing in Wednesday night <>f lastweek of some relatives from Pennsylvania came as (juite a surprise. When told about the way the bloomin’ fish are acting these days, the party started off Thursday morning for a visit in Florida. Anybody could leave Edenton for a spell now and not miss a good fishing trip unless the scudders trite better than they have during the] past few weeks, and I might add, months. Again this week quite a few news stories were crowded out due to unexpected advertising coming in. If anyone received a short answer along about Wednes day morning, it was due to a certain guv going just about “nerts” to decide what to leave out. . gnawing of pain and piteous weakness brought about i> hint; r d • to.no cause of their own. < hov an i lunty people have ever been generous for y\ ,v.-il . , a use. but to provide food for the starving should be reason for the softening of hearts so that a (•’•editable. contribution; is expected during the drive. Money nr food will be accepted and if given in the. , spirit of “Inasmuch as ye have done this unto the least of 'Cos ." there should be no little satisfaction in know ing that: some effort was, made to relieve suffering and saving precious lives.
