Through the beauty of His world, God speaks to His children, giving them confidence and a de sire to worship Him Who made all things. We thank Thee, O God, for revealing Thyself to us in the perfection of Thy universe. Lead us by Thy Spirit to be still and know that Thou art God, Creator and Regulator of all life. Chowan County’s Face Saved It is with pride that The Herald is able to re port this week that Chowan County’s March of Dimes contributions, as of Wednesday morning, amounted to $1,641.83. The campaign is not al together complete in that the Edenton colored schools and white and colored copnty agents have not yet reported for the rural section. With about S4OO in hand two weeks ago a can vass was inaugurated and as a result over $1,200 has been added to Chowan County’s March of Dimes contribution. The lion’s share of this suc cess goes to a small group of members of the De gree of Pocahontas, who answered an appeal made by the county chairman to raise an amount more in keeping with what Chowan citizens should con tribute. Had this group of women started at the proper time of the drive, there is little doubt but that Chowan’s contribution would have exceeded last year’s $1,828 contribution and possibly would have met or eclipsed the county’s largest March of Dimes contribution made in 1950, when $2,116 ■was raised. It is quite gratifying to know that despite the messed-up campaign, the county will not be oblig ed to send in its poorest report. There were four previous years when contributions fell below this year. In 1944 Chowan raised $1,249, in i 946 the contributions were $1,566, in 1948 the total was $1,016, and in 1951 contributions amounted to $1,487. . The chairman of the Chowan County Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is especially delighted with the result of the canvass in that contributions really exceeded expectations. Starting at such a late date, it conflicted with the Boy Scout drive, the Red Cross fund raising cam paign and the sale of Easter Seals. But despite that fact, many people made substantial contribu tions which ranged from SIOO by an Edenton mer chant and SSO by an individual all the way to a thin dime. Taking all of this into consideration, the county chairman wants to thank the small group of De gree of Pocahontas canvassers who worked so hard, the various schools, business concerns and indivi duals who made contributions and thus saved Chowan County from sending in a March of Dimes report which would have been embarrassing to say the least. The present report only substan tiates the confidence the writer has in Chowan County people, when called upon, to support a worthy cause. Everybody Should Help Another busy group of women in Edenton these days are members of the Woman’s Club, which is sponsoring the third Pilgrimage of Colonial Eden ton and Countryside, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 10 and 11. At present the ladies are very busy sending out literature due to many inquiries for information about the tour. Already attractive folders have been sent to 15 states, including Ohio, New York, Virginia, Connecticut, North Carolina, Massachu setts, Maryland, Colorado, Wisconsin, Texas, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Aside from attending to this duty, the ladies have their hands full making the many arrange ments and will, of course, want the entire town and countryside to be as clean and attractive as pos sible when the host of visitors are expected to look Edenton over with a critical eye. To say the least, the tour will provide Edenton with a piece of advertising which could not be purchased. The tour requires a great deal of work and preparation, so that Edenton citizens should come to the aid of the Woman’s Club and cooper ate to the fullest extent in presenting a community which will favorably impress the visitors and of which we who Eve hefe may well be proud. „ la Edenton we should consider this OUR four and everybody help m any way possible to make TOE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. N. O. TOPKfIPAY MARCH 112,1963. Heard & Seen * By “Buff” 4—4 I was no little chagrined a few weeks ago when I placed on the front page a picture whom I took for Senator Richard Russell of Georgia, speaker at the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner in Raleigh on February 28. The mat of the picture was sent, to gether with a story, from Chapel Hill and not no ticing the cut, I took it for granted that rt was a picture of the Senator. I was the target for a lot of joking on the part of Edenton readers, but Tues day morning of this week I received a letter from Washington, D. C., signed “A Reader of Your Pa per.” I was more sorry about the error than any reader could have been, so I am printing the letter from Washington, which follows: “If this picture was intended to be a picture of Senator Russell of Georgia, I think it is a shame to make a mistake like this. I have no idea who the man in the picture is, but I do believe there are many North Carolinians as well as the reader of this paper know Senator Russell. Senator Russell is one member of the Congress, that every south erner should be very proud of, his prestige on the hill is outstanding, so when we invite him to our Capital as the principal speaker for the Jefferson- Jackson Day Dinner, I really think a picture of him should be published of him instead of a picture of somebody else.” o In the mail last week was a letter from a niece of mine who lives in East Orange, New Jersey. It’s been so long ago since I saw her that I doubt if I’d . recognize her if I’d meet up with her. Anyway, she has some friends living in Alexandria, Va., who some time ago took a southern trip and stopped in Edenton. In a letter to my niece the lady wrote about the various places she stopped in which she had this to say about Edenton: “About Edenton, we are just in love with the place. So much so, that we can’t wait until we can go down there again. When we do we would like to look your uncle up. It is beautiful country. If you are interested in books which give you the feel of the area you might try any of Inglis Fletch er’s novels. I have found all of them delightful. It was because of reading them that we went down there.” o Upon arriving home after a week-end spent at High Point I found two short articles on my desk. The articles were written by little Bill Hand and follow: Spring, Spring, Spring is here, The wind is blowing, kites are flying. I like Spring, flowers are blooming, Spring, Spring is here. I saw a pony. Did you ever see a pony? I saw him win a race last week. He won a big blue ribbon. I like him. Maybe Bill’s writing isn’t poetry, but he went to the trouble to write it and bring it to me, so there ’tis. o And speaking about youngsters, I heard one give an answer about going to school the other day. The chap was asked if he wanted to go to college. “Heck, no,” said the boy, “I don’t ever want to go to graded school.” U- ■ < ■ Going through Durham over the week-end, I noticed a lot of men with long moustaches and beards and women wearing bonnets. Thinking I might have come upon a gang of Russians, I stop ped one and asked what the idea was for so many bearded-faced men. I was informed that Durham is celebrating its 100th anniversary and that the brush-faced men were “Brothers of the Brush.” It might be a rather unique way of celebrating the event and while no one should particularly object to the women wearing bonnets, I’ll be'tcha a stogie the Durham barters don’t think so much of the idea of men not shaving. And speaking about betting, here’s reminding George Twiddy that he has not paid off for our bet on the March of Dimes ... my throat’s gittiS’ dry! O »■ A lot of automobile drivers should have attended the radar demonstration Tuesday afternoon which records the speed of automobiles. It will make it hard on the speeder who is picked up and argues that he was going 10 to 20 miles slower than arrest ing officers claim. The device shows how fast a car travels within a certain area, so that the best thing for speeders to do is to drive within the speed limit. o Jack McMullan was reading some of the writ ings of Dedmus Junius Jovenal the other day and while written between the years 60 and 140 A. D., Jack Says there is not a lot of difference in people in some respects. For instance with respect for getting something for nothing, Jack picked out the following: AH public care has vanished from our thought, Romans, who once with unresisted sway For two poor claims have long renounced the whole and only ask... Mrs. W.S. Harney Now Residing: In Edenton Edenton friends will be pleased to learn chat Mrs. William Selby Har ney of Norfolk has returned to make Edenton her home; She is residing at the home of Mis. R. P. Badham. The Harney family lived in Edenton before moving to Norfolk about 20 years ago. Mr. Harney died about two years ago.
