THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT INFINITE STRENGTH:: Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength— -1 -a. 2ti,4. Life Very Uncertain The uncertainty of life was again strikingly manifest-. | ed Monday, evening when Raymond Williams was almost j instantly killed as the result of being pinned and crush- j ed under a heavy bulldozer which overturned in a ditch. ! Mr. Williams, a large, strong and healthy young man. j left his family in splendid spirits to do some extra work j after his usual duties were completed and within a few minutes was a corpse. The writer has experienced pangs of sorrow caused by the grim reaper, almost in the twinkling of an eye, clutching a healthy and robust loved one, so that the tenderest and most heartfelt symathy goes out to the Williams family. While Mr. Williams may not have been polished with higher education, he was a plain everyday man, big-hearted in comparison to his huge body. He often went far out of his way to accommodate a friend and apparently realized no little degree of Measure in doing a favor. He was devoted to members . f his family who will greatly miss him. While the sympathy of the entire community goes out to the unfortunate family, the wound cannot be healed entirely by kind expressions and deeds. Time alone and reliance upon Him who doeth all things well will, after all, bring the most lasting relief. The accident should tend to impress us all that no man knows when he will be summoned, a grim reality which should cause us all to make the best of the time at our disposal. Need To Be Careful Following two disastrous hotel fires, Edentonians | light wet) intensify their efforts to rid premises of fire j hazards. All too often dangerous conditions are allow-: d to exist until some sort of catastrophe brings forcib-1 y to mind how much damage can be caused by careless- j m ss. Too much care cannot be exercised in eliminating J fire hazards, so that The Herald compliments Fire;Chief ;v. K. Hall upon his. interest in making his usual inspect- : lons and insistan.ee that premises be kept in order. Incidentally, at Tuesday night’s meeting of Town J 'ouncil Fire Chief Hall reported that on his recent in spection of the business section, he. .found conditions] setter than has. been the case .for .a long time. A little i recaution in this respect may save considerable damage : i property and even.precious lives. Give ’Em A Hand Though .the Edenton baseball team has .lost four of v r.e games, played, the boVs have furnished some good asebail w hich is worthy of the support of local. fans, i operate a baseball club costs, money, which is deriv- ] .ed for the most part by paid admissions, so that attend- , arrce is a very important factor. : In this respect lack of many women spectators in the grandstand has been; quite? noticeable. Officials of. the Edenton.club ;p.i:n: to stage a "Ladies’ Day" at the base ball park in an effort to create more .interest among the fair sex. anti ’it is hoped-the. women', many of w hom i have more leisur. time than men, will patronize the i _an:es, thus r"t only aiding in the financial phase of ] baseball, but also encouraging the boys and officials in :hoir efforts to provide the great national pastime. Let’s all. met) and women, boys and girls, give 'em a hand. • 1 Ptpti'ColaCompany. Lonj [tlandCily, N. Y. PEPSI-COLA COMPANY OF ELIZABETH CITY, N. C. i Insulation | INSTALLED BY AIR !

I THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C„ THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1946. Heard & Seen! By “Buff” ! It seems like old times in Edenton to see Raul Olsson parading around again. Friend Paul came down from j Greensboro last week in order to celebrate his birthday i Friday night, June 14. In fact, Paul bawled me out j about his age, for I’ve been saying he is 83 years old. As a matter Os fact, he was born June 14. 18(10, which will make him Bti years old. 1 asked hint where he was j horn, but when he told me the name of the town, 1 fig ured Sweden was near enough. Anyway, Paul is proud ; I of the fact that he is the oldest member of Unanimity j Lodge here in Edenton and at the Masonic and Eastern 1 Star Home, where he now iives, he is next to the oldest person. And speaking about the name of the town where Paul Olsson was born, reminds me of an incident recalled by Bob Pratt during the first World War. Bob was a ser geant and had occasion to call tip a group of new men j assigned to him. Some of the bovs had names Bob f had never seen and had a dickens of a time pronouncing ! them. In one instance lie purposely skipped over a name ; and at the windup walked up to the fellow and asked i his name. After.pronouncing it, Bob replied, “Oh yes. ] here it is, 1 missed it.” Besides, says Bob, some of the j names had the alphabet so mixed up that when he : sneezed, several guys would yell, “Here”. ————o— The grbup of Edenton Rotariaus who attended the , i International Rotary meeting at Atlantic City last week j returned with a report that they had a splendid: time. John Holmes told me that a cup of coffee costs 50 cents at the resort and the price of meals sounded almost like a War bond drive quota. At any rate, if coffee costs 50 cents per cup, it's good the local party was a “dry group, for there’s no telling w hat the charge would be J j for an eye-opener or night cap. | A little explanation here might prevent a domestic 1 argument and maybe prevent some guy from throwing i away a perfectly good handkerchief. Recently a pistac hio nut machine was placed in the police station and quite a few fellows hanging around insert a nickle and get a few of the nuts. The shell being hard and bright red. a fellow has to go to a little trouble to open the things and as a result the red color gets all over the fingers and lips, too. All of which is mentioned so that in case some wife notices red coloring on her husband s handkerchief, it does not necessarily mean it is lipstick. Maybe I’ve done a good turn for some guy. Next Sunday is Father’s Pay and if the old gent forks ■ out a buck or two* he’s liable to get a pair of socks or a I necktie. —-o Bananas happened to be on sale VV ednosday morning I and the way 1 heard, it Was just about as bad as a hush I to get nylon hose., it takes a lot of stamina to go. , j through some of such rushes, for a pretty husky guy on j, i Wednesday said,.“Let me out of this rush”, before he j i even got any of the bananas. . ■ ——- o - Aside from the Albemarle League baseball team, 10- 1 cal voungsters have a Legion junior team and will play j 1 their first home game Friday afternoon. I hese boys j may not play as well as the older boys, but here s bet- j ting a stogie they w ill play just as hard. Let s turn out and encourage them, o l Anyone interested in helping to collect canned food ' in the Emergency Food Drive is asked to have his or her car at the Municipal Building Sunday afternoon at .2 ; o'clock. The more cars oil hand, the sooner the canvass .will be completed, so that nobody will have to sacrifice a lot .if time. And those who Will give canned food are i urged to place it on front porches where it can be eas- i ily seen by Boy Scouts who will be jumping in ami out m of car# to gather it. All can help in one Way or an other. Despite tin heat Wednesday morning there was a: Christmas atmosphere on lower Broad Street. Leon Halsey put out on the sidewalk a gang of Christmas trees which were not sold back around December 2*>. But for tin- fact that they are somewhat faded, maybe a fellow ."'ild save money by storing one away. Dr. Geo. T.

W. Overman was delighted to learn that the County Commissioners had agreed to include in their next bud get an appropriation for employing an assistant County Agent. "This makes me very happy,” he said, "as it should enable us to carry on a much more efficient program of work with our rural boys in 4-H Club,work. It is ,my Hope that we S will now; bo able to give each 4-11 Club member the necessary personal attention, along With that of his adult 4-H leader, to make each pro ject a real demonstration to the boys in their development in agriculture. This work will also demonstrate to many fathers and neighbors what the application of certain improved farming practices will do to bring them larger returns from the farms. With two of us working in the Coun ty I hope vve will be able to reach many adult farmers in a more ef ficient way. I also hope that farm people will feel free to call on us for assistance or to make suggestions, forgetting that our work with them might he of an individual nature and help us conduct our work with them in such a manner that not only they, but also their neighbors may benefit. "The few 4-H club projects visited this week appear to be progressing fairly well. These projects were poultry and gardening.” LEAVES FOR PHILADELPHIA George C.
