HATE INJURES THE HATER, TOO: Hatred stirreth
up strifes; but love covereth all sins.—Prov. 10:12.
Again We Observe Poppy Day
Once again Poppy Day approaches and will be ob
served in Edenton next Saturday, May 28. Nearly four
years now have passed since the last shots were fired in
World War II and more than 30 years since World War I
reached its victorious conclusion. The world has moved
on to face new difficulties and new dangers. Minds are
busy with today’s problems and tomorrow’s uncertainr
ties.
Yet, the dead of those two wars must not be forgotten.
Their memory should be kept bright all through the
years by the little red poppy of remembrance which
Americans wear on Poppy Day each year as a personal
token of tribute to those who gave their lives for Am
erica. Wearing their flower recalls their spirit and gives
new inspiration for service to the country they served so
heroically.
And in hospital wards are men and women who are
suffering because they defended America, comrades of
those who died. The poppy is for them, too. They make
the flowers of crepe paper in replica of the wild poppies
that bloomed on the battle fields and battle graves in
France and Flanders. For them the poppies mean in
teresting occupation and the encouraging experience of
earning money again. Making poppies is a step in their
rehabilitation.
The poppies are for children, also —for the children of
the dead and disabled. Contributidtas for the flowers
help bring to them the things they need for a happy,
healthful childhood and a fair start in life.
These facts about the poppy need to be told again as
1949’s Poppy Day draws near—told so everyone will un
derstand and will welcome the opportunity to wear a
poppy which the members of the Auxiliary of Ed Bond
Post will bring to them. Let’s us all buy and proudly
wear a poppy next Saturday.
Lest We Forget
While we have-little trouble to remember our heroes
on Poppy Day, there is another occasion when we are too
apt to forget our dead heroes. In mind at the moment
are reburial rites held for veterans who lost their lives
overseas. It is rather noticeable that at all of these
rites very few have turned out for the service.
Another Chowan County hero, Ed Habit, Jr., will be
reburied Sunday afternoon, and while his- surviving com
rades will pay fitting tribute, many others, aside from
relatives, should pay tribute by attending the final rites
in Beaver Hill Cemetery.

By “Buff*’
Clarence Speight is one who is called upon to handle a
lot of johs for various organizations to which he belongs,
one of which is chairman of the Edenton Band’s Trans
portation Committee. It was Clarence’s job to arrange
transportation for the band’s trip to Raleigh last week
to participate in the Shriner’s parade. Much to his sur
prise, the job proved to be much easier and more pleas
ant than he anticipated for, he says, not a single person
turned him down when asked to drive or loan a car. So,
to say the least, it’s one job in which he realised a great 1
deal of delight and pleasure —which cannot be said about •
all of the jobs he, as well as a lot of us, are asked to do j
• from time to time. (

I almost forgot to give credit where credit is due, for
with so many other things to occupy my mind lately, I’ve 1
about forgotten all about fishing and playing an occa- 1
sional game of golL Anyway, the other day Bonner 1
Small said he caught a catfish weighing 10 pounds while :
he was fishing for bream. He had the proof, too, for he
went to the trouble to drive to The Herald office to show <
the fish. Os course, Cal Kramer will figure it’s a frame- \
up between Bonner and I. However, it’s not a lot of
bull —but a lot of cat.
Well, the boys are back from the Red Men and Shriner
conventions, held last week, and I’ve heard some of the
jokes told at both conventions. The country now has a
good cigar—but 'it costs more than five cents, and I’ve
about come to the conclusion that what this country now
needs badly is some new jokes.

Oscar Creech, who is president of the John A. Holmes
Bible Class of the Methodist Church, asked me how to
get every member of the class present next Sunday
morning in order to have a picture taken of the class.
“Well,” I said, “about the best way I know is to have
something to eat.” Oscar wanted to know what would
be best to draw ’em out, and for such an early hour, I’d
suggest country ham 'and eggs. Better eat your break
fast, though, next Sunday morning, members.

Now since West Gale Street has been marked off for
parking only on the south side, Hec Lupton parks his
car in his yard, especially around noon each Thursday.
The Rotarians use almost the whole side of the street
when attending their weekly meetings, and since Hec
was recently elected president of the Lions Club, he don’t
want to get mixed up with that gang of Rotarians.

We’ve often heard the word “Chowan” pronounced as
though the “Cho” part sounds like “Show.” Folks out
Oklahoma way must have heard the name incorrectly
pronounced, for the other day I reecived a letter from
Duncan, Okla., addressed “The Schowah Herald.” Well,
they no doubt spelled it the way they heard it pro
nounced. So another thing we need, especially here in
Chowan, is to have someone teach visitors how to pro
nounce “Chowan.”
It might be to one’s advantage to have clothes which
some friends do not like. For instance, the other day
a fellow was all diked out in a new suit, and asked one
of his friends, “How do you like my new suit?” The
friend said, “To be frank about it, I don’t like it at all.
The diked-out guy didn’t seem to mind, for promptly he
replied, “Well, I’m glad you don’t, for now I'll not be
bothered with you asking to borrow it some time when
you want to put on the dog.” t
