THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT ALL ARE BROTHERS: Bear ye one another’s bur dens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. —Gal. 6:2. Another Job Well Done Ladies of the PTA, and particularly the committee headed up by Mrs. John White, deserve the plaudits of the community for the fine spirit shown in carrying on the drive for funds for a band in Edenton. The Junior Woman’s Club members also put out a great deal of effort to raise their contribution. While there must be leaders in every effort, yet we cannot overlook the sup port given by clubs, city and county officials and the individuals who hjjve contributed to boost the red marker on the thermometer up to and over the top. The biggest obstacle is overcome. The next is care ful selection of a good director. However, let’s leave this in the competent hands of those who are charged with this duty. We now await in anxious expectation a band of which the entire community may be proud. Truth Versus Error The Chowan Herald some months ago raised its voice in warning over the decision in Washington to cut appropriations and eliminate “the radio voice of America”, which was beaming out “truth” to counter act the poisons spread by Russia in Europe. It is with some satisfaction that it is learned that officials in Wash ington, alarmed over the way lies and hatred of America are gaining momentum in Europe, are determined to take prompt action so that “the voice of America” again speaks the unvarnished truth. We’re Proud Os Him Not only has honor been conferred upon young Wilbur Harrell, who won the title of 4-H peanut champion of North Carolina, but it reflects the fertility of Chowan County soil if proper attention is paid to it. The writer well remembers how proudly the late D. M. Warren would on many occasions pull from his pocket a small book containing many statistics, and in form various groups that Chowan County produces more per acre and receives more for the crops produced than any county in the State. Young Harrell is now attending the 4-H Congress being held in Chicago as a reward for his outstanding accomplishment. His parents and county agents are p:oud of his record in 4-H Club work and other 4-H Club members may well emulate his activities. Chowan County is honored in that this is the second consecutive year that the 4-H Club State peanut champ ion was a Chowan boy. Wallace Reid Peele was last year’s champion. With Chowan’s future farmers pf the calibre of these two youngsters, as well as many other 4-H Club boys and girls, the future appears safe, so that Chowan Will continue to boast the record so proudly referred to by the late Mr. Warren, who was vitally interested in the progress of the county as a whole. The Herald congratulates this year’s 4-H peanut champion and hopes at the Chicago convention he will not only enjoy himself, but learn even more about pro fitable and successful farming. Life Very Uncertain Edentonians were horrified Thanksgiving morning when they learned about and some even saw an accident in which B.

By “Buff" , ** Football fans on Sunday afternoon had an oppor tunity to do two things same tingfe—watch snow falling and watch a football game between the Edenton All-Stars and Columbia All-Stars. The local outfit managed to win 6-0 when Albert Holmes intercepted a pass and scampered 50 yards for the only touchdown of the game. The local outfit has three victories to its credit and no losses. o And speaking about football, members of the Edenton Aces squad, the two managers and coaches, Tex Lindsay and Nick, George were entertained by Cherry Boyce at a steak dinner Tuesday night of last week. The boys enjoyed a “square” meal, and there was no program, Friend Cherry stating that he is proud of the boys and wanted them as his guests. o— Harry Crummey took a bus load of local Red Men to Washington, N. C., Tuesday night, where they at tended a zone meeting. A barbecue dinner was served at 6 o’clock which was sort of an inducement, but here’s one wfio was unable to go on account of work. The local group took along some candidates to be initiated, and from reports the “boys” had a big time. I’m losing out altogether on these eating frolics. o Some local news was crowded out of the paper this week, among which were two letters to the editor. 1 welcome letters, if I agree with the contents or not, so that these letters will appear next week. o Tuesday night of last week might be referred to as “Parking Meter Night” for a special meeting of Town Council lasting several hours allowed some folks to get off their chests what they think about the meters. With some folks sore about the meters and Town Council men about fed up with all kinds of complaints, Ernest Kehayes did a splendid job in presenting the matter, for he did it in such a diplomatic manner-that nobody “flew off the handle”. About the most amusing remark made was by Joe Vail when he started out by saying, “Well, they’re purdy”. The most sarcastic remark was made by one of the visitors when Mayor Haskett sent for Town Attorney J. N. Pruden to render an opinion concerning the parking meter contract. “Can’t you read ?” spouted out somebody back in the group. ... .Q.* 1 ’ ' Mrs. Maurice Bunch quivered as she read the County Commissioners minutes Monday morning and had a hard time writing. No, she wasn’t nervous, but instead was cold. The old stove didn’t do so hot, and even the Commissioners held their meeting in something like re lays, as one by one they backed up to the stove and then chased back to their seats. o With snow falling Sunday afternoon, the Youth Fel lowship group at the Methodist Church didn’t take chances on waiting for a white Christmas. All of the songs used for the service were Christmas carols. And speaking about the Methodists, the stewards are anxious for worshippers to occupy the front seats. One suggestion was made to rope off the back seats, but that might make somebody mad. Weil, why not move the back seats to the front and put a sign on the back seats, “These are the front seats.” Anyway, preachers don’t like to preach to emifty pews. u Chowan County Commissioners were paid off Monday for a year’s work. Business ought to pick up, but then one of ’em said his wife will get his check. Well, check or not, they come pretty near getting the dough one way or another anyhow, don’t they? lives when one of the Edenton fire trucks overturned on its return from a chimney fire. The accident once more strikingly emphasizes the fa-t that in life there is death and no one knows how or when he will pass from the scene. Henry Smith, a young men of only 32 years, was a very likeable fellow and had a host of friends, all of whom are shocked and grieved to learn of his sudden demise. He was a devoted fireman and died while per -1 ,rming his duty, so that his services will be greatly missed by the Edenton volunteer firemen. The Herald joins the many Who have already extend ed sympathy to his family and friends. Parking Meters. Target For Much Criticism Continued From Page One parking meters, which agreement is a binding contract. According to my interpretation of this contract, the Town has obligated itself to allow the meters to be installed and operated for a trial period of eight months, and, to insure the operation, of the meters, has agreed to enact and en force, in good faith, an ordinance re lating to the installation and opera tion of the same. Such an ordinance has been duly enacted.” Following is the petition which was presented at the meeting: “Whereas the Town of Edenton re cently installed a system of parking meters extending on Broad Street ■ from Water Street to Church Street, and, “Whereas, this system has had a good and fair trial, so that we are now in position to make a fair and impartial appraisement of the value of this system, arid, “Whereas, the merchants of Eden ton are primarily concerned with any thing that affects the commercial business of Edenton, and in conse quence the general welfare of the town, “Now, therefore, we the under signed merchants and taxpayers of the Town of Edenton beg leave to call your attention to the fact that a , vast majority of the people who trade ; j with us have expressed opposition to the parking meter system and at a consequence our business is seriously handicapped, and we most respectfully request that said parking meter sys -1 tern be abandoned' at the earliest pos sible date.” Signatures attached to the petition are as follows: Edenton Supply Co., by David Q.
