THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT HUMAN WISDOM CANNOT MAKE A BLADE OF GRASS: O Lord, how '..manifold are thy works.' in wis dom hast thoumade them all: the earth is full of thy riches. Psalms 104:24. Cooperation Needed It is to be regretted that mail service at Morris Circle is being held up due to lack of cooperation on the part of some people living there, This area was rather rec ently included in the town limits, and is entitled to de livery of mail, but, of course, there are certain provis ions .of the Post Office Department which, though very inexpensive.' must he complied w ith before the service is.added. It: is necessary only that each house is numbered and a box placed at the front of the house for depositing mail, but despite this minor requirement, there are !U houses which have not complied and as a result, the !!' others who are very desirous to. have the /mail service cannot realize, the'improvement. When a petition was recently circulated requesting the service, it was readily signed, and postal officials are ready to add a carrier in: order to work out a sehed . tile of deliveries, hut this extension of mail delivery will not be inaugurated until the postal . requirements are met. It was also necessary for the Town .ff Kdenton to place a sign "Morris Circle" at tin- entrance the pro ject and this has-been done: so that all that remains to he dene ts the numbering of remaining houses and installing a mail box. It. will In- a step forward to add .mail-service •■t.ff..this pew community ami Mayor I.er'oy- Haskett has gone to right much troiibli' t<> convimv postal authoritres that Hie extension Os mail delivery is needed ami desired. He. therefore, is Hopeful that those who have rioj com plied . with the requirements will do so. ;it once, even if they prefer to get their liiai! at a post ■■.office hex. The cost and effort to earrj out the Post <■ Dei part merit's requirements are too trivial' to block this improvement... so that The Herald, too. urges all. the pe pie in Morris C.irt . '-'.to jiifth.b i house, secure a ■ rtij.l box and thus shart tin delivery of arl'ilw svm. a- it; .'tln-r parts .f Edenton Everybody Should lie Interested After a perioti of silente regarding a Chowan County hospital, discussions were revived at a meeting held '.n hey ( Viur't House l .e-sda v afternoon, the meeting being the result of the expected opportunity tv* secure the .hospital:' at the Kdenton Naval Air Station when the Town of Kdi ' t.m and Navy Depar'ment > xeciit.e papers ■■leasing the base to the Town a yearly, revocable: ' •-is.

The plant represents an investment .of .s.'loii.ooo. wit enough equipment and supplies to last for several years, so that tin- opinion prevails that it would V' foolhardy to | pass up tin- opportunity. In take over the hospital as , ■ more or less of a gift, . On the other hand, there are those who are skeptical as to what the Navy Department considers an emer gency, hi which ease the government would again operate the base, so that they feel hesitant to invest any money tq put.the hospital in operation. Because of the: two. avenues of thought, it is the de sire to ascertain the opinion .of the majority of eon-, tribu.tors, so that a mass meeting will he called for this purpose. In the meantime it is the hope, and in fact , it is a duty: resting upon every person in the County to. become acquainted with the hospital at the base and the terms under which it w ill be operated, so that, a' fair and unbiased decision can be arrived at before the mass meeting is called. -J” " WE SOLICIT YOUR INQUIRIES FOR V Construction, Industrial And Logging Equipment Distributors For Nationally Known Manufacturers International Crawler Praetors, Industrial \\ heel Type 1 ractors, Industrial and Marine En "ines Jaeger Compressors.

Julian Ward recently died. Old age and its attendant j infirmities exacted payment of the debt that must be;' j met by dogs and humans alike, "Fritz” was the pride j.J j ff the Ward family and was especially devoted to 1 ' I George Ward, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ward. After George j entered the Navy four years ago “Fritz” was loath tp 1 | let other members of the family out of his sight, fear- t I ing, no doubt, that they, too, would go and not return. , Like other recent dogs which have passed from the j, picture, “Fritz" is missed at the Ward home almost as ! much as George, who is still in the Navy and will regret i and no doubt be affected when he hears that his friend ; “Fritz" is gone. 1 « • i For the last few' weeks a column has been appearing < in The Herald undur the head "Current Events”, written by Irving Leigh. Several favorable comments have been heard regarding the column which is more or less | of a rehash of outstanding national and international ' news. One reader said he enjoys reading the column ' hut suggested a different head, saying that probably * ‘Coming Events” would be more appropriate. I don't s | agree, for under a head of "Coining Events" all I'd have e to put in the story is "Baseball game tonight”. 1 '' . j •Quite., a .few people noticed a huge ring aroupd the j sun Tuesday and somebody called up asking what it j meant. A perfect ring of various colors surrounded the bright sun. but here's one who Could not give any 1 information what caused it or what it was a sign of. I i Maybe some of the kills up in heaven were playing marbles. f - o - | Net every person in company with tile Kdenton coos ; is. under .arrest, for the other day Bob Draft was pa rad- x ing around with, some strangers after Tuesday's Roe-D I order's '.Court and was showing 'em around, telling about the various points of interest. -° ; | And speaking about the cops. Friend- Tolley oti Mon ' ! day used a very polite method of inviting my brother! to leave town. One of my brothers who lives in New i Jersey. dropped down over Labor Day and because I was too.busy to be with him all the time, he arid his v wife decided to kill a little time by riding over to Hertford. Oil the way hack he parked in front iff the:' 1 office and about the time he stopped Friend Tolley puII •" ed up saying. "Look here, Vou were driving dow n this I * street faster than you should. Vou ought to be able: j i to see the sign a! the edge of town and not drive. Iso ) > fast.” My brother replied. "Well, if 1 was driving too , e fast 1 didn't realize it and am sorry," Then it was that ■ , Tolley extended his invitation by saving, "Go on down ( to the Gulf Filling Station and turn left." Anxious to j comply with the law,my brot her proceeded to the. filling j :. station; thinking lie was to go to a place for a ticket j 1 nt be booked for court: lie stopped on Queen Street and o the first thing he saw was a sign "No Barking", so he a ■ was ill a stew. ' He didn't know if lie should proceed, |- ; thus giving the cops reason: to believe he was not obey ing orders- or wait and be picked up for violating the | .no-parking ordinance.’ At any rate about that time 1 , eai.iie along and figured.nut that 'Tolley though the mail came along and figured out that Tolley thought the man m Blit just tile same. Kdenton cops say quite a few New •Jersey drivers need watching, but I'm Wondering if the same is iiqt. true of some drivers ill every state of tin Union ■ v'v-rr-s —-■ -O- ——-i ■■’ And ..speaking about icy; brother convinces no- that j nature is a funny tiling. For instance my daddy was "a recent visitor in Kdenton and quite a few folks want ed to knovy if he was not niy; brother. Thenwhen my brother ,j ropped. down t<■ see me. some .others asked if lie Was iny daddy, when as a matter of fart, he is . younger tha.n.l. The latter situation is -.caused by the fact that my brother is. practically “naked" on the top - dome Anyway, not hard to see that smiie war time conditions have changed, for it has. been the first v isit tirade by relativ es In a long t imp. 1 ncidental ly , my lirother is quite a fisherman, and was rather sur- ' ' prised that: Kdenton has not taken advantage in cashing ... ■ iii m: the opportunity to attract, fishermen,te the y arums ; fishing grounds. .'•jimmy; Kornhardt, .lr, and County Agent Charlie : i emian will leave Friday night, for. Camp Darden ’Joy Seoul Reservation near Franklin. Va„ where they iv ill: he: inducted into the, WWW. Boy Scout secret honor , amping fraternity in colorful c remonies. Both were tapped for this honor at the Boy Scout camp in July | and yeill return to Edenton Sunday. 1 don’t, know if they are nervous. in contemplation r of their inttiation, but here's eongratiiiatiug boili iff 'em for gaining this'; ■ h oil or, ' ' ■' This has been a terrible week for yours truly and the stime is no doubt true of others who observed Monday : is a holiday. After all. a holiday is hardly worth tile j price, for in my ease a fellow goes a 1 most ” Herts" to : . make up in a few days what was lost in one. At any rate; the Labor Day holiday caused me to break aii almost p •rfect attendance record at the County Com-i missioners' meeting, which was held Tuesday instead of Monday, But then I reckon they got through their meeting without having a newspaper guy on hand to hear what s going on. Only routine matterswere trans ac.ted. so that the business was completed by noon, faking a chance at catching some fish a couple of times over the week-end naturally took me close to some woods, where 1 heard a dickens of a lot of shoot ing. Maybe someone was shooting mosquitoes, for the squirrel season has not opened yet—or has it opened for some hunters (1 didn't say sportsmen) ? Pension Payments For Veterans Boosted According to information received from Warren G. Knight, contact rep resentative in charge of the Edenton contact office, newly authorized in creases in compensation and pension payments to North Carolina veterans of both World Wars will be reflected in cheeks mailed September 30. Twenty per cent increases are ef fective with the beginning of Sep tember and actual payment of the raise will start with checks mailed to eligible veterans at the of the month. The increases are effected automatically by the Veterans Ad-, ministration finance service and claimants should not file special re quests or make inquiries. Also benefitting under the neyv law granting increases are hospitalized veterans without dependents, who will receive full payments now in stead of reduced amounts. Compen sation and pension payments to vet-, erans enrolled in the vocational re habilitation program are also sub-, jeet to the 20 per cent increase, but in certain instances subsistence al-, lowances must be reduced when in-1 crease in compensation would boost total payments above authorized amounts. This, Mr. Knight said, af fects those veterans with a disability of 30. per cent or less. Subsistence allowances for veterans under the vocational rehabilitation act or ser vice men’s readjustment act are not subject to the 20 per cent increase. Poultry Production Course Announced Dr. 1,.

He reported | that in a recent test, where pullorum had been prevalent for 14 days, light ! amounts of this new drug were placed in a dry mash for all visibly :11 chicks and for many of those apparently Well. The other chicks were not treated. At the end of six weeks, , those chicks receiving no su’phamera jzine showed a much higher death rate than those treated. “It seems that the use of this new Jl drug can control outbreaks of pull-Tl oruni if an early diagnosis is made, and the treatment D begin at once,” said Dr. Moore.
