Jobs For Many With a constitution and by-laws adopted by the Cham ber Commerce and Merchants Association and various ; committees assigned to. specific duties, the organization is now ready to launch upon a new year. New blood has been injected into the organization, with Jesse Harrell at the helm and a number of new faces appearing on the board of directors, but these younger members feel -. the need of the stabilizing advice of those who have been associated with the Chamber of Commerce for < many years. President Harrell made a timely request at Monday night’s meeting when at the outset he appealed for a frank discussion of Chamber of Commerce matters at j the organization’s meetings rather than expression of opinions and criticism in drug stores or on street cor ners. Mr. Harrell is entirely right, for in any organiza tion problems should be settled by the group as a whole, and no member should be so small as to become angered if another member’s views do not coincide with bis. Possibly many matters pertaining to the Chamber of Commerce work will call for. different views, so that when such occasions arise, members should feel free to express their views openly at the meetings in order for the organization to benefit by different.view;point's.-' Very . little progress can he made if these opinions are aired on , the street where no action can be taken and compara tively few have an opportunity to hear some particular slant which may be for the best 'interest, of the organiza ... tion of vice versa. The Chamber of Commerce and Merchants. Associa . .. Con Is ready to begin functioning, and to be the success it should he. will require a generous representation of Edenton and Chowan County’s business and professional men. as well as Others who have an interest in the pro gress and welfare, of, the county as a . whole. President Harrell, the officers, directors ami various committeemen will. be obliged to make many personal, sacrifices during : the year for which there is. no remuneration, .save : the satisfaction of realizing that: they are making a contri-. : but ion. .toward making Edenton ’ ai d Chowan County a . better place ir. which to. liye atid enjoy life. . This.should . hr the desire -f many people in the county, who should be. equally as anxious to see Chowan prosper; iso that they should be willing to join the organization and help in whatever way they can to bring success. What helps the county as a whole helps the individual i aking up the county, so that the Chamber, of Commerce sh* ;ici have the Lacking of many citizens, all working toward the one common goal—(yogres- in Chowan County. How Not To Get Tired The following timely article was written by Charles Davis f Haso River, Cape Cod. Massachusetts: ‘•.All of us who are physically active in work or play may get tired because of its continuance. The answer to how ’."t to got physically tired. i< to stop, if one can, the act it it y before we are tired. "But there are many "f us who do not got physically tired because our work nr play is not sufficiently stren uous or long to make us tired. We however often get tired mentally or spiritually. How can we prevent this? ••The study .0’ the Science of the Mind, as set forth through ‘lndividual Psychology’, established by that greatest of ali minds. Dr. Alfred Adler, of Vienna, shows that oi;r emotions are self-created to speed us to a goal : we have established iri the belief that such emotion will help attain the goal we seek. Emotions do not just happen out of the air. “Our emotions can be divided into two classes; those that disturb us. (a) and those that satisfy us (b). “(a) Anger, sadness, disgust, fear, anxiety, ambition, envy, malice, jealousy, vanity, avarice, hate, worry, an noyance, sorrow, seciusiveness, faint-heartedness, ped antry, servility, moodiness, hard luck, boastfulness, all 1 are disturbing emotions, and being based on unworth while, unsocial goals, cause one to get tired. "(b) Cheerfulness, joy, laughter, smiling, sympathy, understanding, modesty, love, atfection, being a fellow man, being based on worthwhile, social goals, cannot ; cause one to get tired, for they are pleasing and peace ful. “So if one can reduce the times and lengths of (a) to j longer and longer intervals one need never be tired and , one can have as many, as long and as often of (b) as j one wants, as they cannot tire you. “Adler has shown that we can all do what we want to if we will constantly train hard enough. In other words, | we can eliminate (a) to such an extent as to never be tired. How? “1. We must understand the above. 2. We must be j fully convinced of its truth, or we do not understand. 3. We must want to attain the goal set forth above, and, j 4. We must train, train, train. This I have done for so many years that (a) is aroused in me so seldom and at ! such long intervals that I never get tired and when so aroused, knowing and understanding as I do, they can be checked and fully stopped almost at once, because knowing that they are aroused by an unworthwhile goal, I change the goal and in so changing, they immediately disappear. “The above, being a great scientific truth can be used | and accomplished by every one of us. Try it and see. j The next time you have a disturbing emotion, stop and j say to yourself, “What is the goal I have established?” i You will be surprised that the very question is likely to . give the answer, enabling you to change the goal and get rid of the disturbing emotion, as I have been doing for a long time back, with the result that, never mind how many hours or how hard I work, I am never tired. You, every one of you can do the same if you, (a) under stand; (b) are fully convinced; (c) want to, and (d) train.” THE CTJWAX HERALD, El UN ION, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1946. (. | Heard & Seen! By “Buff’’ j { As was predicted editorially last week, Chowan Coun- I ty’s homecoming day for World War II veterans was a | splendid success, and though simple, it again demon strated what can be accomplished when there is a spirit I of cooperation. The program went off without a hitch, so that West Byrum, general chairman, feels well repaid for the worry he experienced from the time he was ap pointed chairman until the whole affair was over. And here’s another bouquet for the group of former Edenton [ Band members who gathered together and dusted off their instruments to play in the parade and at the dance j when it was learned that the s<)-piece Army band could ! not come as scheduled. There were not 50 pieces in the ! local band, but they played in such manner as to remind many of us of a few years ago when the Edenton Band I was in its prime and took no back seat on any occasion. Former Director Charlie McCullers came over from i Kinston to help out in the emergency, and his presence ! so inspired the other players that the music was in keep ’ ing with the remainder of a very delightful program. A large number of veterans marched in the parade, but it was very apparent that the marching was not as un pleasant as it was only a few short months ago for some of theta. Anyway, the whole affair went off in tine , style and was in keeping with the desire to show,some appreciation for those who served iii the armed forces. But is that to be all ? Remember, a fund has been set up as a nucleus for a more permanent memorial in honor of Chowan’s boys and girls who were in the armed forces j . during the great war. Returning home Sunday afternoon from another trip * to Pennsylvania. I’ve about decided to run for Congress . in the next election. The only platform I’d have would j be a uniform location for tratlic lights. As it is now, j some are in the middle of streets, some on the left hand 1 side and others on the right hand side. It’s a dickens of a job sometimes watching for a red light at the same 1 time a fellow must be on his P’s and Q’s to keep from I running into another car or have another guy run into him. All of which is my excuse for running through at j, least .two red lights, and maybe more for all I know. At j. any rate, the cops must not have been on the job. for ' none of ’em chased me. nor did I get a ticket. o The trip to Pennsylvania was made in order to take , ■'.mdad back home after spending a vacation in Edenton. j His visit made him feel a lot younger, for quite a few r folks wanted to know if he was not my brother instead • of my daddy. At any rate, while, here, he became an J ardent baseball rooter for the Edenton Colonials, claim- ing that he brought luck, for every game he attended the ( Edenton team, came out ahead. Gosh, it plight be a good idea to bring hirt; back in . order to win enough f games to get on the top rung of the league. Blit then , While I was away, the Colonials went on a winning spree, so maybe the boys on the team are playing better ball, j Hut just the same on Tuesday night when things looked. t mighty blue, 1 told Eddie Spires I was going to light up < my old pipe to bring luck after puffing away on a cigar. ' And it did, for shortly afterward Joe Wheeler’s long lly 1 , to left held hit a wire and glanced away from Fred Fear- j ing. who was waiting for it. The score was tied later | and finally the Colonials won out in the tenth inning, j M,-thinks I'll always take the old pipe along hereafter. ; Stopping otf in Alexandria. 1 learned that Abe, Martin f had left the USO there, but could not. find out where he ’• a out. It was about dinner time, so 1 tried to look up ' Vernon White, a former Edehtonian who lives there, but j forgetting to take his address with me. it didn’t take . long to learn that Alexandria is not like Edenton, where almost everyone knows everybody else and can tell a stranger just about where he lives. ;. t 1 haven’t had time to hang around the Police STfltion much lately, but have been noticing that Chief George t Dai! has not been in his usual jovial mood. The reason • is that he had a death in the "family.” Beans, his 11- > year-old Boston, bull dog, is dead and in his passing Chief j Dai! senses a loss almost as great as if a member of the family died. Beans was a. constant companion of Chief I jail and was numbered among the most popular dogs in Edenton. His gruff harking was a familiar sound around the Police Station, but Beans was the sort of dog thatq minded his own business—a trait which plenty of hu man beings might well emulate. He .was a regular cus- ! turner of Jim Davenport’s Friendiy Market, lor Chief ’• Dai! bought meat for him more regularly, no doubt, than [ he did for himself. For dessert, Beans journeyed down to Jordan Yates’ service station, where he had a stand- ‘ ing order for ice cream. Yes, Beans is dead, so that there is quite a difference around the Police Station and, 1 reckon, around the Dail home as well. s . - o- : . ’;( Wednesday being the day The Herald goes to press, I am kept pretty close and lose out on what is happening, j’ However, I understand A1 and Kitty Campen pulled off a 1 “carnival” right back of The Herald office all day Wed nesday, but being so busy, I could not attend nor did I , hear any of the usual carnival noise. Maybe they didn’t | want too much publicity for fear Town Council would require payment of the carnival tax. These two youngs-tj ters also sold ice cold lemonade just around the corner I the other day when it was hot as blazes. We boys in The Herald office were itching for a cold drink at a time I the stores were “fresh out.” I’m going to give the two gals a lesson on advertising. o— Yep, times are gradually getting back to normal, for at the Red Men’s meeting Monday night George T. White i stood at the door and handed every member a cigar as he entered the hall. The reason: George several days ago became the daddy of a bouncing baby boy, who is named George T., Jr. Congratulations are, therefore, in j order for two reasons, first ,for becoming the daddy of a boy and second for forking out cigars before a strong hint appeared in this column. Anyway, George says the newcomer can kick up a storm when he wants something , to eat. | There is no rationing of bicycle licenses in Edenton, ! and Chief of Police George Dail says he has about 100 more at Police Headquarters. According to his figures, about 100 less licenses have been purchased than last year. These licenses were supposed to be bought and displayed on bicycles by July 1, so that those who have not complied with the law had better buy the license rather than have to explain why it has not been bought and displayed. j (Ail* t> "Wot’s That?” “A Piece of Sugar. You Asked for Something for » Cup of ! Coffee. Didn’t You?” Northern Stars Os ! Albemarle League! Again Trim South ! Large Number of Fans Witness Game Thurs- j day Night In an exhibition all-star game play- j ed on Hicks Field Thursday night, players from the three teams rep resenting the northern half of the Albemarle League for the second time easily defeated the southern half of the league 14,0. Players from Elizabeth City. Hertford and Cam den played on the northern team, | while Edenton, Colerain and Wind-, sor players composed the souther*: ! out tit. The northerners scored three runs j in each of the first and sixth* in-j rings and in the seventh they went , on a rampage to score six runs. Two | .more runs were added in the eighth. The southerners tied the score 3 3 in their half of the first and took tip | lead 4-3 by scoring a run in ./the, sec ond. which was held until the sixth inning. Two, more.'runs were added in the seventh. John Copley worked on the mound for the victors all of the game, while the losing team used Castelloe, 1.. White, t’hitty, Miller and Hollow-ell.; I, Seymour caught, for the northern half, white . Edwards and Hoggard were, behind the plate for the south erners. '/ Hits during the game were plenti-j .fill; with the winners 'being credited with 14 and the losers 11. Many fans were on hand to witness 1 the game,, which was rather hstless ; and lacked the interest of th,- regu lar league games. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ARE TAXES TOO HIGH? What is all of this I hear? “Taxes I too high” for 1940-1947. A copy of the City Council’s actions is in the Town Clerk’s office for inspection by all interested citizens who may be dis satisfied, 1 wonder is this dissatisfaction coming from dwellers on the dirt streets or the happy residents in the clean part of the City. Inspecting the record is not the way to reduce the proposed scale. Call for a city-wide vote, and put per sons over it who are in favor of the increase. N. S. HARRIS PATIENT IN HOSPITAL Mrs. J. E.

This, too, resulted in quite a lengthy dis cussion, but no definite plan was ar rived at, so that the method to be adopted will be in the hands of the committee and board of directors. Some members expressed the belief that each business should be assess ed the same amount, while others ad vanced the opinion that dues should depend upon the amount of business done by the various concerns, with a flat-fee for non-merchants who de sire to join the organization. Still another idea advanced would charge a certain amount per membership, with various concerns expected to take membership in proportion to tlje amount of business done. During the meeting President H rell asked Ralph Parrish to read the I minutes of two directors' meetings ] which were held since the last general meeting. Bicycle Owners Lag In Buying Licenses Chief of Police George I. Dail re ports quite a bit of lagging in pur chasing bicycle licenses in Edenton this year. Early this week Chief Dail said the Police Department had sold 100 less licenses than were sold last year. The new licenses were supposed to he purchased and displayed on bicy cles by July l, the beginning of the Town's fiscal year, so that owners are urged to buy their license at once. The price is only 25 cents, which is too small to be taking ; chances on being picked up by police. Greeting Cards For All Occasions —at-- Campen’s JEWELERS
