THIS'WEE ICsTIiIBLK THOUGHT HARMONIOUS LIVING GIVES PEACEFUL OLD AGE: And thou shall go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.—Gen. 15:15. Two Very Important Elections Two very important elections are scheduled to be held, one on July 12 and the other on July 27, in both of which those who are eligible to vote should not fail to cast a ballot. . The. Herald has no hesitancy in saying that it hopes both elections will be carried by large majorities. The July 12 election has to do with the tobacco refer endum, the result of which will decide whether tobacco acreage allotments will be continued or farmers allowed to plant according to their individual inclinations. Un der the program it has been proven that growers secure more for their tobacco than when planting Was unre stricted, so that there is little argument why a tobacco grower should not favor the quotas. Os course, there Will be some who, because they object to being governed, would rather double their work and expense and at the end have no more, and very probably less, than they will have .under the program with Jess acreage. The other election, while not having anything to do with income, will decide whether or not permanent im provements will be made in Edenton which will mark the greatest step forward in the town in over a quarter of a century. As is to be expected, there is opposition to the proposed project, principally because it will mean added taxes to liquidate a bond issue. Most of this opposition, however, comes from those who are obliged to pay in come tax. while at the same time taxes are deductible from their incomes. Would it not he better and far i ore beneficial to Edenton ;f this tax money went to ward improvements and show some signs of pregress than to send a check to the collector of .internal revenue Z Yes, there will be quite a hit of opposition, so that Tr.p Herald urges all who are in favor of the improve ments to see to it that their nan.es are on the'registrar tion hooks in their respective wards and then to lie doubly sure to vote "Yes" for the bond issue. Regis!ra t 1 n hooks are now open and will remain open until next •Saturday. July 1 .. and. of course, the election will he held J 27 between the hours of ♦:;.*:m A. M. and •;:::«• I'. M, Edenton has stood still long enough. It is time to r "v» forward if it is ever to • rove in that direction. Why Not Have A Band? : nat there is no little interest among Edenton young people to have a band is reflected in the fact that some o hoys and girls, without anyone to direct them, gather ed together a group of instruments and some old dis carded music, practiced faithfully and presented a 'con i - ft fourth of July night which was a distinct credit to - then.. <>f course, the incentive was the fact that <\ I. Me t tillers, former Edenton hand director, agreed to j- C"me o\ or front Kinston to direct a concert as a Fourth ' < f July feature. file affair .attracted a goodly number of friends of the . E .’. s mid girls and Mr. and Mrs. McCullers and so well j r.id the youngsters perform that compliments galore Were expressed, as well as the wish that Edenton would i again have a band. There are very few', in Eden.ton who do rot remember only a few years ago when Edenton gained a great deal publi. t> as the result of a crack high sAonl hand, it ,s Weil remembered that for almost auv occasion the hand w ~!d turn out. thus adding greatly to the interest and putting over affairs".'which., orherwi.se would haw brer: very ■'dull and much less impressive.

Halsey Feed & Seed Store ij “THE CHECKERBOARD STORE” ■ , South Broad Street Edenton, X. C. 1 d THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1946. Heard & Seen! By “Buff" j Coming home from a few days’ vacation with the usual after-vacation lazy feeling, but faced with the job of getting out a paper from scratch gives me some idea of how a baseball pitcher feels when he gets out of a hole with the bases loaded and nobody out. It was just as serious a hole that I faced Monday morning, but as this is written I have somehow or other gotten things shaped up so that readers should get their paper about the same time as usual. All of which makes me dread vac ations, for upon returning a fellow catches the devil for j [ the few days of precious pleasure. o So seldom do I get a vacation that possibly a few ob . servatipns might be in order. For instance, following a long trip looking for highway signs and passing through crowded cities, I’m working on a contraption which will ' enable the driver of an automobile to pass the steering wheel to the person next to hint or even on the back seat, for that's where most of the suggestions come from when it domes to knowing the right thing to do. o j It was while entering my home town that I made the j remark. "Nothing looks familiar to me.” However, my I son was quick to remind me that the red traffic lights I look familiar Wherever one happens to travel, • I’’ , - Going into a restaurant (and in many of them liquor j is sold ) 1 saw several unique signs. One read, “Don’t | swear before ladies—let ’em swear first.” Another (no j doubt left from the blackout days) read: "Don’t leave building during black-out. You may be lit and not know ; it”. Rest rooms were labeled "Setter” and "Pointer”, while in other places they were designated “Toots" and •'Casper" and "He" and "She”. But about the,.best one I saw read: "Use less sugar, do umre stirring—the heck with the noise.” A fellow does some foolish things on a vacation. For j instance, my daughter wanted to go up the George Washington monument in Washington. After riding up in the elevator the “bright” suggestion was made to i walk down in order to look at the various tablets of j contributors. It's 850 steps in the monument and about r half way down I debated with myself whether to go J hack up and take the elevator or continue to Walk down. . We walked down, but my legs let me know about it next ; morning. A tip: It costs no more to ride than to walk, i It was while leaving the monument that one sailor said t-> an .tiler. "Well, our uniform got us in that place I free." But his friend was quick to reply, “Y'os. but I'd. still rather be home and pay to get in.” -— : As the result of taking a vacation 1 lost out on a bar- ! ] becue feed, for Henry Goodwin had all of his children j ( and grandchildren home once more ami came in to in- I, vite me out While I was gone. He barbecued a 100- j, poiffid pig-and did some close figuring, for he had just , about a pound left.which lie figured 1 Would have eaten. * , Anyway,.hoth Henry and Mrs. Goodwin were very much . elated over the fact that they had all of their children ’ together one more time. ( t Being awa\ for thr four days and not encounter \ ing a drop of rain. I was informed that it had rained t ev.-ry day in Edenton. It might be a good idea to ghangt ( up tile baseball signs at street intersections. Instead of \ reading "Baseball Today", it might he a good idea to > have them read. "Baseball When It Stops Raining”. At f the present rate rained-out games w ill last up until foot t hall season, so that there might be an argument as to which teams cun use the lights. I had an opposite it\ to fish a while in a lake situated -I I in the mountains of upper New Jersey. They have ex ' aelly the same kind of fish in that bloomin' lake as we ! haw around here latelv- —the kind which don't bite. ) 1 Anyway I, m riot so very much scared to be a little) | eoekey since I came hack, for with me came my daddy, ! who is pushing the 80-year mark. The Bufflap "Junior" ; |..has to go to bed early but he’ll get -up and help live out J if I get in trouble. He likes to paraih* around, so if [:anyone-sees, a strange guy lost, just direct him to The Herald office Y ep. there are some honest people left in the world, j and John Asboli. Jr., will vouch for it. Recently he lost ! . Iris.'wallet and can e in The Herald office too late to in sert a classified ad. hut this week the Wallet was received j in the mail with the following note from Miss Ruth' Ange. who lives at Too.} Georgetown Road. Bethseda, MW : "Found your pocket book in Edenton theater while on a visit. A cheek will fojjow to cover the amount of I money left after mailing this." Young Asboli had 12 : bucks in the wallet, so that he recovered all hut a few! cents, thanks to Miss Ange. It's one of those things I ! «• hidi happen only mice in a life-time. Johnny searched I ovorywhere he thought he might have lost his wallet, i and had about given up the idea of ,-ver finding it, hut miracles apparently still happen. ! Farmers Are Losing Subsidies On Lambs Many sheep growers are failing to apply for subsidies on lamb sales and ' thousands of dollars are being lost. The subsidy rightfully belongs to the farmer who grows the lambs, but some buyers, who are not slaughter ers, are collecting the subsidy and keeping it themselves. Hazel Meacham, Extension market ing specialist at State College, ad vises that growers take a copy of the bill of sale issued by the slaughterer of the lambs, not necessarily the buy- I er; submit the bill of sale to the local AA office: and receive a sight draft for the subsidy. The Subsidy is $2 per hundred i pounds on lambs weighing 60 to 90. pounds; $2.65 per hundred for weights of 90 pounds and up; and $1 on all other lambs and sheep. • The subsidy applies on all sales through June 30 and the farmer can claim the subsidy through August 31. All lambs that have been marketed by growers in cooperative sales have been listed for the subsidy, according to Meacham. Classified And Legals EOST~^~oTlendorff wTTTs T watch. Reward.
