PAGE SIX -The Chowan Herald Published every Thursday by The Chowan Herald, a partnership consisting of J. E. Buffiap and Hector Luprton, at 425-426-South J. EDWIN BUFFLAP Editor HECTOR LUPTON Advertising Manager SUBSCRIPTION RATES: SET Entered as second-class matter August 30, 1934, at the Post Office at Edenton, North Caro lina, under the act of March 3,1879. Cards of thanks, obituaries, resolutions of respect, etc., will be charged for at regular advertising rates. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1952 Goal Now In Sight Possibly the most encouraged person in Edenton early this week was Wesley Chesson, Jr., Chowan County s March of Dimes chairman. Last week Mr. Chesson was right much discouraged due to the showing made in the drive up to that time. Only $777 had been reported to him. toward the county’s $2,000 goal and at one time the chairman had entertained a doubt that Chowan’s con tributions would even reach the four figure mark. However, as reports trickled in over the week-end Mr. Chesson was able to report on Tuesday that contributions had passed the $1,600 mark. The report for the county as a whole is still incomplete, so that Chairman Chesson now entertains the hope that the goal of $2,000 might bo realized after all. The Herald joins Mr. Chesson in the hope that Chowan will not be numbered among the cpuntaes which fail to meet their quotas. It is hoped that what reports are not yet in will boost the fund to $2,000, but if not, possibly fhere are some people who for some reason have not been contacted and would like to have a part in the drive. Mr. Chesson, therefore, is very anxious for all who have any money on hand to report to him at once and, of course, he will be more than glad to accept any individual contributions. The Herald commends the small group of Pocahontas members who, as the result of three card parties, raised ‘ $45 toward the March of Dimes. With similar interest and cooperation on the part of individuals and other groups, Chowan County would have far exceeded it» goal long before this. At any rate, Chowan County citizens are well able to raise $2,000 in the fight against infantile paralysis. With a little “shot in the arm” the quota can be reached, which will delight Chairman Chesson and be a credit to the county. Justly Proud It was a very proud and appreciative group who at tended the basketball games in the gymnasium at the new Edenton High School Tuesday night. It was the first time the beautiful gym was used and incidentally the first time in Edenton’s long history that high school games were able to be played in a school gymnasium. The gymnasium is not only a credit to the school, but Edentondans in general have every reason to be proud of it. It is modem in every respect, of ample size and has a seating capacity of over 800. School officials and the powers that be are to be complimented for making it possible to have such a creditable home for indoor athletic events and those who planned the gym also are to he commended. Both basketball teams lost to the Roanoke Rapids teams, but most local spectators were, to all appearances, enjoying the appearance of the gym more than they were interested in the games. The faculty, students and Edenton people in general have every reason to be proud of the new gymnasium and the school as a whole. Can You Spare A Chair? Probably many people are unaware of the fact that Mrs. T. J. Sheehy is doing a splendid job with the Eden ton Girl Scouts. The group now has a meeting room at the elementary school, but there is need for some equipment, especially chairs and tables of various kinds. An appeal is made for chairs and tables to be loaned or donated, so that if anyone desires to help the Girl Scouts in this respect, they are asked to call Mrs. Sheehy, phone 577-J. There is a definite need for work among this group of girls and Mrs. Sheehy is well qualified. She and the girls deserve enough interest to produce at least the chairs needed.

HOBBS, Prop. “YOUR JOHN DEERE DEALER” EDENTON. N. C \ • . ' ■ - - - ■ ------ - -a R SjJV ONW tjINWHC JOHN DEERE PARTS -THEY HTAND WEAR LIKE THE ORIGINALS! R THE CHOWAN HERALD, BDSNTON, N. C„ THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7,1962 I Heard & Seen By “Buff” • ; '■{ Mrs. Eve Stetson, who is directing “Shooting Stars,” sponsored by the Edenton Woman’s Club and the Var sity Club, and which will be presented in the elemen tary school auditorium next Monday and Tuesday nights, gave The Herald a brd&k. She worked up a page ad vertisement which is chock full of ads and wanted at least a dozen errors to appear ip the ad. To the first ten children bringing to her on Saturday morning at 10:30 o’clock in the auditorium a correct list of the mis spelled words she will give free tickets to the perform ance. Where the break for us comes is that -any er rors which were not intentionally made can be “covered up” by those which were supposed to be made. Anyway, the show goeis on next Monday and Tuesday nights and with a lot of local people’ taking part it should draw a large crowd. Anci speaking about crowds, the ißyrum Implement & Truck Company family party Friday night packed ’em in the school auditorium. All seats were filled with many standing in the aisles and in the rear of the audi torium. And I’ve heard many who attended the show say it was one of the best they ever saw. If some local organization sponsoring an entertainment to raise money could pack ’em in like Friday night’s Show, some money could be made. There’s a little difference, though, for if any group would sponsor a show an admission would be charged, while the show put on by the Byrum con cern was free. That word “free” brings ’em out. Apparently I lost out on a country dinner last week. I was invited by one of my country friends to eat din ner with him Sunday. Anticipating country ham or pork tenderloin, I asked what he was having for dinner. “Chitterlings,” was the answer. I ate Sunday dinner at home. Maybe I ought to learn to eat the things for sev eral days ago I saw in the paper that a chittlin’ party was held at Raleigh, where about 25 prominent men ate their fill. Included in the group Were Governor Kerr Scott, Utilities Commissioner Harry Westcott, Highway ‘ Safety Director Tarvia’ Jones, Assistant Agriculture Commissioner Hugh Harris, Highway Commissioner R. E. Earp, and State Veterinarian Hale J. Rollins. “For all those devotees of the chittlin’, it was eating at its best, and the public be damned,” was the way the ar ticle ended. Well, all I can say, that gang was full of — chittlins. Although Miss Elizabeth Larrick, former Edenton school teacher, has been away from Edenton for many years, she has continued to subscribe to The Herald and here’s wishing every subscriber would do as she does. It hasn’t been necessary to send her a bill for the paper during the years a id usually her money arrives a few weeks before the expiration date. This week sha wrote a brief letter in which was enclosed a postal money order for her paper. Said Miss Larrick: “Dear Mr. BufFlap— You didn’t send me a bill, so I was a whole month wak ing up to the fact that my subscription had expired. Thank you for trusting me. I am always interested in what you people are doing in Edenton.” Miss Larrick would, no doubt, be agreeably surprised if she came to Edenton and saw the beautiful new school building. May be sUe would want to come back to Edenton to teach. . o Rotarians might get a free smoke at their meeting to day. The free stogie should be furnished by Tom By rum, who on Friday became the daddy of a son, Thomas Campbell Byrum, 111. That will be one reason why I will not smoke said pipe after the dinner. o For once the front pews of the Methodist Church were filled Sunday morning when a goodly number of Legion naires attended in a body in commemoration of four chaplains who lost their lives when the transport tor ches ter was torpedoed. It was a group of splendid look ■ ing men and a credit to the organization which they represented. The Rev. E. B. Edwards, the pastor, who was a chaplain in World War 11, was acquainted with one of the four chaplains and preached a very good ser mon appropriate for the occasion. o Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hollowell had with them for sev eral weeks their daughter, Mrs. Rollins Guild and two children, who live in New York. The New Yorkers have returned home and while the grandchildren kept the grandparents on the go, the Hollowell home now seems very quiet and vacant. No matter how much rumpus kids make and almost run a guy nerts, they are missed when not around. Committees Named For Jaycees’ Year Street Marker Project Chairman Given Vote Os Appredation Standing Committees were ap pointed at the bi-monthly meeting of the Edenton Junior Chamber of Com merce to serve the remainder of the Jaycee year. At the meeting Ker mit Layton, chairman of the street marker project, 'was given a rising vote of appreciation for one of the best projects, which is now about completed. The board of directors recommend ed to have two members attend each meeting of Town Council and the County Commissioners. This idea is to show an interest in community and county affairs and was unani mously approved by the club. J. M. Boyce was elected to fill the unexpired term of Luther Parks as a director for one year. Mr. Parks was promoted to first vice president to succeed Sam Allen, who recently moved to Salisbury, N. C. j Thomas Byrum was named chair-' man of the next quarterly board meet ing which will be held in Raleigh February 23 and 24. Twelve local Jaycees attended the district 8 meeting held in Spring Hope Wednesday night of this week in a’n effort to bring back the at tendance prize. j' The standing committees appointed were: Personnel Logan Elliott, chair man.

Poor Likeness Gilbert Stuart, the celebrated Dor trait painter, once met a lady in Bos ton, who saluted him with: “Ah, Mr. Stuart, I have just seen your miniature and kissed it because it was so much like you.” “And did it kiss you in return?” “Why, no.” “Then,” said Stuart, “it was not like me.” TRY A HERALD CLASSIFIED I Fi I JiM ather’s bath was freezing cold, H / ' lUMH^B Father’s temper rose tenfold, • “This tub is like an open sleigh, -t I’m tired of freezing every'day „’ 4l' | I’ll get a DEARBORN right away! ■ ‘-IliH i LIFE WITH FATHER is lots B HOW—DEARBORN —one of the most honored Wsm • names in American industry brings you a complete Hi% ( A ' .iplll new line of automatic water heaters.
