Almighty God, raise us from the dea*h of sin unto a life of righteousness that we may be found acceptable in Thy sight. Duty To Vote Once again, next Saturday. May 28. citi zen? will have . the opportunity to cast their j □allots for public officials. Workers in this area, and the same may be said about the state a? a whole, are and have been for some time working feverishly in the interest of some particular candidate. With the appar ent interest in the election and large follow ing of various candidates, the election should result in a large vote. Too often, however, a voter takes the at titude of “What Can I Do? How I feel does not make any difference and my vote will not Have any eftect on the result.’’ How wrong is this attitude. Too often only a com paratively few take the time to vote, thus exposing us more or less not to the rule by majority, but to rule by minority. Each and every one of us has not only an opportunity but rather a duty to cast a vote for public officials. Each citizen has a wea pon which can be used to elect or defeat a candidate to serve the public—a vote. This privilege should be used more generally in electing to office the persons deemed best qualified to serve. All too often some peo ple gripe and many of this number do not care enough to go to the trouble to wend their way to the polling places in order to cast a ballot. Every voter should be willing to be bothered to take the time to mark a ballot ' whenever the opportunity comes around. It is hoped Chowan County voters will turn out en masse next Saturday to take part in electing public officials. Polls will be open from 6:30 A. M„ to 6:30 P. M„ so that there should be very little excuse on the part of gny voter that he or she did not have the time to cast a ballot in the selection of those who are to serve the people as a whole. Buy A Poppy Next Saturday,. May 28. will be Poppy Day. sponsored by the American Legion Au xiliary. Those who wear a poppy on that day will honor the more than half million Americans who died and the nearly one mil lion wounded during the past three wars. The poppy became the memorial flower of the American Legion about 40 years ago. It is a replica of the wild European poppy which bloomed aindist the devastation of World War I battlegrounds, appearing along the trenches and in the cemeteries and is well remembered by soldiers who returned from Europe in 1918. Proceeds from the sale of poppies will go j to disabled veterans or their families, so that those who buy and wear a poppy will not only be helping veterans, but at the same time will be paying tribute to those who fought, many of whom paid the supreme sacrifice, for perpetuating the American way of life. Where Crime Doesn’t Pay Banditry can be controlled—by aggressive, determined cooperation between the law en forcement authorities and interested enter prises. If you doubt that,, a remarkable record that has been set in Philadelphia may change your view. Eleven years ago a team of bandits made a career of holding up. the managers of a chain system. American Stores. They pulled 17 jobs in a row. In the last, a police officer was shot and killed. That shot marked the beginning of a non stop counter-offensive by the store organiza tion and local law enforcement bodies, nota bly the Philadelphia Police Department. Since the offensive started, there have been 94 holdups—and every participant, save for two murder defendants yet to be tried, has been sentenced to prison! There hasn't been a single acquittal. The prison terms meted out amounted to a total minimum of 361 years and three months and to a total maxi mum of 996 years and 11 months. As a result of that record, there have been bo holdups in the past two years. The crooks hatte learned that, in this case, crime doesn't pay. And what- has been accomplished in Philadelphia cm be duplicated everywhere through the same hind of cooperation. IJJedrJ Qr /w» ByßuJ! ! Edenton came pretty close to losing two very valuable men, so that it ts iu„vH.«ugin to learn that Coach Bill Billings and Der .u Bray arc scheduled to remain in Eu-a where their wholesome influent, nas hau will continue to play a very i j ortant pa» with our young people. Goldsboro school o. ficials tried their darndcst to .-c ure Billing to coach the AAAA conference football team The coach at one stage of negotiations had about decided to leave Edenton and go te. Goldsboro, but following several conferences he finally decided to remain. That his respec and influence is appreciated by high schoo boys in particular is reflected in what John Mitchencr, a student at the University of North Carolina, had to say in a letter ti his parents. Said John: "I reckon weYt all known all along that sooner or later son* larger school would seek Mr, Billings' ser vices. 1 do hope he will remain in Eden ton because he has meant a lot to all of ü boys who have played with and tor him Among other things, he made athletics a lessor in life and tor this I am grateful. Thus it i because he has meant so much to me that I hope he'll stav so that other boys may shan this privilege.” Then one of the boys at school, when in formed that the coach planned to leave Eden ton said. “Coach, if it would do any good. Ft get down on my knees and beg you to stay.' Another instance of how much the boys thin! of Coach Billings happened when Rober White was injured in an automobile wreck a few weeks ago. When taken to the hospita the first person the boy asked to see wa- Coach Billings. And so it goes. Young peopk have been made better by their association with Mr. Billings, so that by and large a> of ’em, as well as Edenton citizens as a whole are glad that the coach will be around thi neck of the woods tor at least another foot ball season. Along a different avenue, thougl just as important, is Derwood Bray’s influ ence with young people who play in the band Derwood tendered his resignation, but late withdrew it. so that he'll also be around so a while. Most of the youngsters who hav< come under the influence of Mr. Bray wen very downcast when they learned he intende to leave and a lot of ’em. as well as parents had something to do with his decision t< withdraw his resignation. Derwood. too. ha had a very wholesome influence among youn; people which will stand them in good steal in the years that lie ahead. Here's one who glad that both these fellows will remain ii Edenton. for with them here were assure* of a good band, a good football team ami . wholesome influence among our young people o Friends of various candidates are working hard tor their favorites and quite a few pre dictions have been made that this or that candidate will be the winner. However, a very important part of an election is tin counting oi votes, so we're waiting until this is done before we say who the winners are. o State Highway Patrolmen are cracking down on automobile drivers who have n driver s licenses or licenses have expired. Fre quent checks are being made, so that an; automobile driver who wants to keep from, a peck of trouble better see to it that his driving license is in proper shape. o Some people have been bothered with mos quitoes so tar this summer. “One thing about it. one fellow told me. “is that they are so big this year that a fellow can feel ’em when they land.’’ o - One report has it that the Harvey Point base is out. then another report comes out that ii will be utilized for some government purpose. With the situation as it is with Russia and Cuba, it seems that Uncle Sam should keep his mitts on it. for it is alto gether possible that it might be neeessarv to use the base for some purpose which might not be so pleasant. o Mrs. E. H. Arnett, a Herald subscriber who lives in Shelbvville. Indiana, recently missed her paper and had this to say: “I didn't get the May sth issue and do hope it’ll show up. I do miss the paper when it does not ar rive because I get most of my news from it. I like to read it as soon as it comes in to find out the news. Since kinfolk don't write much any more. I even learn something about them at times. Please keep The Herald com ing. And it will, for Airs. Arnett enclosed a check for a year's renewal. o The Herald has been having some extra pages lately due primarily to political adver tising. However, Saturday will be the day of decision when voters will say who is anil who is not elected. It’s been a hard grind, so if 1 have enough strength left 111 be going to the polls to cast my ballot. Don’t forget to vote. Vote for whom you. please, out please vote. .. .. „ ™ CHOWAN HERALD.
