This is your hour. — Luke 22:53.
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

Yep, prices are always climbing and now it will
cost a person mote to die in Edenton. 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.

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.
