An Unusual Opportunity
Due to the Splendid cooperation of ( omdr. K.
T. Brinn. commamling officer of the Kdenton Nat
al Air Station, local citizens now have an oppor- j
tunity to utilize the splendid bowling alleys at the ;
base.’ Already quite a few have taken advantage j
to bowl, and plans now are in the making for var
ious organizations to organize bowling teams in ;
tiie hope of having a league.
Os course, these* bowling alleys are and have !
been for several months, scheduled to be sent to .
Guam. However, a determined effort has been !
made on the part of Kdenton people to have them j
remain. No assurance has been given by the Navy j
Department that they will not be moved, but they j
are still here, and because ot the cooperation of j
I’onidr. Brinn. who has on many occasions bent (
over backward to be of help to Kdenton people. |
they mav he used so long as they remain at the j
base. • . |
The alley s are the best to he had and tee 01 j
them affords an opportunity for local people to
enjoy a profitable, means ot exercise ami recreation.
The Herald hopes many who have the time*will ;
take advantage of the opportunity to bowl and that j
enough w ill become interested to organize a league
The Herald, too. desire' to express, on behalf |
of rnany Kdenton people, the appreciation for the
fricndline-.- anil cooperation of t omdr Brinn. j
whom* congeniality and; .desire to cooperate has j
not Been surpassed by am previous eomnianding (
Officer, despite the splendid relations which have j
existed between the base and Kdenton, In plain 1
words, he's a swell fellow and Kdenton people. ,i
--was the ease when previous commanding officers
left, will regret, to see him leave
Get Ready
At this season (*f the year a number oi drives :
Will be held, all of whit h ore worth while causes j
and should.; as always has.been the case, appeal to J
•.folks living in Chowan ('■ • ir.tx The first of these
<irivi- t ie’ ('!*ristma- seal Sale, will begin Mon
dav. wheiii citizens are asked to buy fc'hristmas
Seals to be; used oth letters, packages or any other
way - to 'hi >w their cooperat ion.
Funds derived from the sale hi seals go toward A
combatting tuberculosis, which i' no rO'pector ot
persons. While great progress has been made in
the tight against tuberculosis, much of which i'
credited to money received through the sale of
Christmas -t:il-. the light i' not over by far and !
continued effort' must be made to control and er
adicate it. which is not an impossibility. I'he
drive- therefore 'hnuld appeal to every person
in the county sp that this -years financial return
should he a record breaker.
Then there is the KSO fund raising drive for
funds to go toward the welfare of men and women
in the arined forces. True, the local I SO ('lnl>
has been abandoned, but that does not alter the
fact that over two. million boys are still in service
and of this number there are 142 from Chowan
County l nder the ISO program, entertainment
and good company is provided boys away from
home, which in no telling how many cases acts as
a buffer in preventing boys from becoming vic
tims of many pitfalls ever ready to attract a boy
wit h nothing especially to do. This will, no doubt,
be the last drive necessary for this purpose and
Chowan should be included in the counties record
ed as meeting the quota, which this year is .51.500
tor Chowan.

I Heard & Seen:
! By “Biff" I
Some very queer expressions appear in newspapers at
times, and The Herald is not excluded, but by cracky (
newspapers are not the only places queer expressions
are seen. For instance, the following sentences about j
dependency allotments were taken from actual letters,
from wives, mothers, fathers, etc., of service men: !
“Please send me elopment as 1 have a 4 months old j
baby and his is my sole support and 1 need all 1 can get ,
to keep him every day in food and enclosed,”
"Both sides of my family are poor and I don't expect !
nothing from them as my mother has been in bed for
I one year with the same doctor and won t change.
“Please send me my wife's form to till out.
"I have already Wrote the President and I don’t hear
from you. 1 will write Uncle Sam and tell him about ;
v«*u both.”
“Pieast* send me a letter and tell me if my husband
is really dead as the man 1 am now living with wont ,
j eat or do nothing till he nose for sure." U
“I am writing to tell you that my baby vvas horn -
years ago and is 2 years old. When tie I get reliet .
“ l was annoyed that you branded my children diet- i
orate. Oh the shame of it -it is. a dirty lie- aS 1 mar ;
j riod their father two weeks before they were horn,
j “In answer to your letter. I have given birth to a
; hey weighing 10 lbs. 1 hope this is satisfactory. j
•1 have no children as m)' husband was a truck driver
j and worked day and night when he wasn't sleeping."
•You have changed my little hey to a girl. Does this
i make any difference
“|,i accordance with your information. I have given
| birth to twins in the enclosed envelope.
"1 have two children three years old. 1 haven't seen
' their father in five years."
"1 can’t get my p:iv, 1 have six children. Can you:
I tell ihe why this is?"
i “Please send me a letter ami tell hie if my husband
| made application for a wife and baby. j
"Sir. 1 am fording my marriage certificate and my,
[ two children: oiit- is a mistake as you can see. j
11 could Write a good one about Mrs. Bill Provilts
black cat, hut maybe I better not. At any rate, Mrs.:
; Privott has lost a tailless black cat and is advertising!
j in the classified column in an effort to get it back. Any
1 body see anything of the cat?

j- Another classified/ad advertiser this week is Peter
j Carlton, who will be the full-time secretary of the Chanv

1' wants, is a small house or apartment so he can move to

I ."before.'January. 1. he w ill move his family as soon as lie

Eddie Spires say- he has a group/of chickens w hich
went oil a strike, but not exactly a sit-down strike. It
so happened that he made several nice new nests tor hi,s
thick of chickens, hut upon going to the chicken coop he
was djsapp'iinted in finding no eggs in them. He thought :
it; iat her st range that he Was getting no eggs all of a
sudden, so. he began looking around, and was surprised i
to find Id eggs sprawled about in the section of the hen j
house where the chickens roost. Os course, lies glad he j
found tbo. eggs, but is now wondering how in the dick- j
ens he can induce the chickens to use the liew nests. j

I’m trying to figure out whose initials are J. B. A.

the big ones that got away. A tishin tisherinan lets his
load of fish do tho talkin’."

blood.
