TIME is not ours until we redeem it. There is a mortgage on every hour, and when we waste precious time the mortgage will be foreclosed, leaving our books unbalanced. Eternal God, teach us the value of life and the meaning of lime. Join The Chamber Os Commerce It will be noted that the annual Edenton Chamber of Commerce membership drive is slat ed to be held Wednesday, November 2. It is hoped that the drive can be completed in the one day and that the required budget of $15,00U for the year will be realized. A kick-off break fast will be held prior to the canvass, so that the solicitors should be “sold” on their mission and an appeal is made to Edenton business people and individuals as well to be ready to meet the canvassers and renew their membership in this important organization. Edenton needs a live and efficient Chamber of Commerce now more than ever, especially when communities all over the state are angling for new industry. Without a Chamber of Commerce to press the claims of our community and de vote the necessary time and efforts required, there would be little reason to expect any great degree of progress. To have an active Chamber of Commerce re quires funds and these funds must come from the community. What benefits the town as a ■whole necessarily benefits each individual who helps make up the town, so that raising the $15,000 quota should not rest entirely upon a comparatively few. Os course, some can pay more than others, but if all would join in this membership drive, the task of raising the quota would be less burdensome and at the same time would engender a feeling that bv being mem bers, one is an integral part of the community and vitally interested in its progress and wel- Joi.n the Chamber of Commerce and help make Edenton more progressive! Too Much Complacency Mrs. Leon Leary, pinch-hitting for Ernest J. Ward, Jr., who was sick, presented a very in teresting and informative address at last week's meeting of the Edenton Business and Professional Women’s Club. In fact, the information given out by Mrs. Leary is not so very generally known and should arouse citizens not only in Chowan County but in the state and natio as well to busy themselves about their privilege in having some thing to, say about who shall serve in public office. , Mrs. Leary pointed out that in the last presi dential election in 1956 only 45.4% of Chowan County’s eligible voters were enough concerned about electing officials to go to the polls and vote. In the nation as a whole only 60.4% voted pnd in North Carolina only 47.6% were enough interested to go to the polls to exercise their fight to vote. In 1956, she said, North Carolina was eighth .from the bottom of eligible voters casting ballots on a percentage basis. Adding further to this alarming situation is the fact that in most state and county elections the percentage of voters going to the polls is much lower in Chowan County. As Mrs. Leary stated, with our nation and state entering into what is believed to be most crucial and critical era, it is most fitting and Proper that we should give some very serious to the privilege of free men and women—to’vote.- Figures given by Mrs. Leary also showed that in the last primary election in May only 34.1% of Chowan County voters considered it important enough to vote for the high office of Governor, and in the second primary in June only 27.6% of the eligible voters bothered themselves to cast a ballot. As Mrs. Leary emphasized, this type of com placency is playing right into the hands of the Communists, for that is what they like to see. Under such conditions national leadership can easily slip from the United States due to com placency which might very easily bring about Classified Advertisement TOBACCO STAINS DISSOLVED . by the- oils in OLAG Tooth Paste.

On Monday night Town Councilmen held a special meeting and one of the items considered was boosting the nice of burial plots in Beaver Hill Cemetery. \n 8-grave lot heretofore costing SBO will be 5125. A 4-grave plot was S4O and is now $62.50, while a single grave was boosted from $8 to 525—that is for Edenton people. For out-of-town oeople the prices are $225 for an 8-grave plot which was $l2O. A 4-grave lot which was S6O will now cost $112.50 and a single grave was sl2 and now is SSO. The increase was made be cause the Councilmen didn’t feel like operating a losing proposition. Want to save a little money 1 —well just live a little longer. o Edenton’s Rotary Club will have an unusual orogram today when Major Mildred C. Bailey will be the speaker. Major Bailey is Women’s Army Corps Career Guidance officer for the Third United States Army and was secured as i speaker by Col. Rosevear. She will be accom panied by another female, First Lieutenant Mat tie V. Parker and Master Sergeant George R. Moore. But with two ladies as guests, who ex pects Sgt. Moore to get a lot of attention? Any way, Bill is very much pleased with the program and hopes every Rotarian will bs on hand to hear what the Major has to say. o From advance reports, the Ahoskie Indians are a very strong aggregation and over in that neck of the woods the hope is that they’ll knock off the Edenton Aces Friday night on the Ahoskie gridiron. Os course, in this neck of the woods the hope is just the opposite. Anyway, both teams are undefeated in Albemarle Conference play so that the game should be the best play ed by the Aces this season. The Aces sport. a perfect record of eight victories, While the In dians were defeated only once, by Greenville. The Aces have scored not less than 28 points in an ygame thus far and have yielded only 24 points to their opponents. The band and cheer leaders will accompany the Aces to help make the game colorful and entertaining—especially if the Aces win. To be sure, a large crowd of Eden ton people will be in Ahoskie Friday night and if it’s as cold as it was in Hertford last Friday night, somebody better wear some long jeans. o Officers of Chowanoke Council of the Degree of Pocahontas are feeling sort of jittery and will be until after tonight (Thursday). At tonight s meeting the Great Pocahontas, Mrs. Elizabeth Berkelheimer of Charlotte will make an of ficial visit and, of course, will check on the way the gals carry on. But, shucks, Mrs. Berkelheimer lias been in the same shoes herself, so be brave, gals. Lib will not hurt anybody, especially after the meal she will get prior to her “inspection . Fact of the matter is that she'll .no doubt be as nervous as he local gals, for she’ll have to get up and make a speech. If it’s a long one, 111 have a tomahawk at my station. o “A fishermen’s luck” picture appears in this issue of The Herald, but if I get it straight its only a “drop in the bucket” compared with the luck of an Edenton group, including Dick At kinson, George Lewis, Gilliam Wood (the others I don’t know) who went fishing last Thursday. The group caught 57 rockfish in Bull’s Bay and the 57 fish weighed over 200 pounds. George Lewis said “it’s just one of those things that hap pen in a lifetime” and Dick Atkinson says he s been fishing for rock at least 30 times this year but Thursday’s trip was like a dream. o Chowan Democrats are holding a rally Mon day .night, October 31, at 8 o’clock in the Court House. Similar rallies have been held through out the state and all of ’em have attracted large crowds. Congressman Herbert Bonner will be the speaker Monday night, so the Court House should be filled to overflowing the deteriorating of the moral fiber of our people. It is not only a privilege to be able to give voice to the selection of public officials, but it should be considered a solemn duty on the part of every qualified voter to register his wishes at the ballot box for those to whom is entrusted the important duties of public officials. We are very fortunate in having this privilege which should not be ignored. Were it taken away, only then would we realize what we have lost. As Mrs. Leary pointed out, "It is far past time for us to arouse ourselves to the facts of life in our county, our state and country, to keep pace in a progressive world, put our shouldfer to the wheel and help in the cause of peaca/and in so 'doing help stamp out-tbe awful disease pf .Com munism that it spreading throughout the world like a fire in dry timberland.” Be a true American! If you are an eligible voter, be sure you are registered in the proper registration book, then go to the polls on Tues day, November 8, and exercise your right, priv ilege and duty to cast ballots for the candidates you think will make the best possible public officials. Registrars will sit at the various polling places the last time Saturday, October 29, from 9 A. M. to sunset. There is no excuse for not being registered.
