THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT PROCLAMATION OF PEACE: Glory be to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.—Luke 2:14. we wish All a very MERRY CHRISTMAS The Herald, especially at this time of the year when gladness reign 3, truly appreciates the many subscrib ers secured during its brief existence, as well as the cooperation and sup port of the merchants who have seen thr to use the columns for advertis ing. \\'e trust that both rcjuters and advertisers have been mutnajy rffted during this shoit time, thi.', our first Christmas as a jjews ' paper, we desire to thank any and all who have in any way contributed to t he success of the paper. We are also greatly indebted to our corps of correspondents and reel that they could be favorably matched with any group of correspondents on any country newspaper. We’re proud of them, and contribute to them much of the credit for the thorough ness of which the Herald is read, especially in the rural districts. It is impossible, however, for us to personally greet each subscriber, ad vertlser and correspondent, so we t ike this means of conveying the sin cere wishes of every member of the Herald force for a very merry Christmas and memories that will result in thankfulness and gladness rather than those that bring sorrow and tears. LET'S MAKE SOMEBODY HAPPY OVER CHRISTMAS w.tli the business section elabor ately decorated with many vari-col- Orcd electric lights, : ome merchant-’ j having decorated trees in front of [ then stores and other d<? i ana i /.. various business pieces dis playing seasonal merchandise and gifts g:,lore, Edo 1 ton has now become all agog with the Christmas spirit. Christmas always brings to most j of u~ memories of many liappy days of childhood and later years, when j we can vision those Who toiled and j sacrificed in order to make the day i for us bright with joy. they were made happy as they realized their ef forts resulted in joy and: gladdened heaits. We, too, can realize more real joy especially at Christmas time by help ing to make others happy. There are those in our midst who are scarcely able to secure the bare ne cessities of life, there are those who have trouble and worry, some have ill health and in some homes the tyrant death has invaded the thresh old to cause mourning. In some cases a few toys, food or other gifts would help to bring joy while in other instances a kindly word spoken, or a friendly pat on the back, or a warm handshake would go a long way toward cheering a heavy heart during this Christmas season. Various organizations are planning to distribute Christmas gifts to un fortunate families in the community, and to this end they need the co operation of those able to help. Every one is a worthy cause, and may We all remember the words of Holy Writ: “It is more blessed to give than receive.” f LETTERS TO THE } EDITOR | JL * BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE Tyner, N. C., Dec. 14, 1934. For several years it has been a custom of the civics class of Chowan High School to send baskets filled with toys and fruit to those children in the county who they know would have no Santa Claus. This year they decided to take their old toys which they had cast aside and make them over into new toys. Three weeks ago if one had seen the toys, they would not know they were the ones they saw today. The class wanted the school to see file toys, so Beulah Perry, a member es the class, wrote a play in which members of the class presented the toys. Each child as the toys were presented said a verse. The verses were written by Melba Chappell, Beulah Perry and Eleanor Winslow. All of the work was done by the members of the class. They learned ! some good as well as receiving plea sure. They learned that it is better to wive than to receive. ELEANOR WINSLOW. THE CHOWAN HERALD EDENTON, N. O, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 90, 1984. »•-■• • ■ > Heard and seen By “BUFF” The shake-up in the Federal relief main office being located in Elizabeth City resulted in Minton Dixon losing the title of disbursing officer, and being promoted or demoted (which ever one it is) to the title of sta tistician. One morning following in formation about the change, Mr. Dixon put on a bow tie instead of the four-in-hand which he was accustom ed to wearing. One of his little daughters, probably noticing the dif ference in appearance, asked him why he was wearing a bow tie. But before he had chance to explain, an other daughter said: “Well, maybe that’s the kind of a tie statisticians must wear.” Anybody got an extra silk hat? " i. o There isn’t a thing wrong with our water in Edenton, but here’s a little conversation I had with a printing equipment salesman last week: Salesman—“ Gee whiz, Buff, but this water is terrible.” Me—“ What’s the matter with it?” Salesman—“ Why it has an awful taste to it.” Me—“ Well, it’s just because you are not used to it. It tastes all right after you drink it for awhile.” Salesman—“ Yes, and I suppose I could get used to hanging if I hung long enough.” Me—“ Goodbye.” Salesman—“ Goodbye. lii carry my own drinking water on the next trip in this neck of the woods.” Note: He must not like Chowan County’s liquor, either, because he usually has his own brand of that, too. o Charlie Swanner is after me for referring to the policemen’s ball. He says he wasn’t the only one who was high on that occasion. And to smooth things over I reckon I better print the names of the oth ers who were “high” that night. Well, here goes . . . don’t get excited, I don’t know all of them! o Rev. Mr. Ashby is some song leader. If you don’t believe it, ask some of the football boys. While singing “O Susanna” at the banquet Friday night a number of the boys almost twisted off their necks to see what Was going on. But it was only the preacher reaching up for high C in an endeavor to get the whole crowd to join in the chorus. o And while speaking of Rotary I always wanted to wear a badge, any believe me the Rotary badge is c whopper. In fact it looks almost like a dinner plate hung up on a fel low’s coat. Eddie Spires likes to wear badges, too . . , he was parad ing around town the other week un til somebody reminded him that he better take the badge back. o The banquet Friday night was a success, though John Small was A, SANTA SAYS: ure Dl Stay” C.

An item appeared in this column some time back about Josh Spry hav ing a dollar 100 years old. He hasn’t much on E. T. Rawlinson, however. E. T. has a dime which he found in 1932 and is dated 1832. About the only difference is 90 cents. o We’ve had several complaints about folk 3 not getting the Herald, and in each instance those who have complained say they really enjoy reading the paper. Then, by gosh, our labor is not in vain. We’re try ing hard to produce a paper that is read, and appreciate subscribers tell ing us if they don’t get our little sheet. Notice, I said “tell.” One lady last week did worse than that. o Well, it’s a close race. With six babies arriving in town in the last week or so, three of them were girls and three were boys. But don’t worry, the tie will soon be broken. o The ladies of the town sure like to have the streets adorned with beau tiful trees. But, say, ask the fellows who have to gather up the leaves along about this time of the year what they think about the beautiful trees. o We’re sorry that Santa Claus didn’t subscribe to the Herald, but we’re going to send him this issue anyway for the sake of one of the little boys in the county. Besides in this column has appeared already something about a near relative of this boy, so it might be to my wel fare to publish it. At the same time we’re urging Santa Claus Ao re member all of the other boys and girls and hope he brings every last one of them just the things that will make them happy. Here’s the letter of one little boy, and we want Santa to read every word of it and to act accordingly: Dear Santa Claus: I am a little boy seven years old. I am writing you a letter asking you to remember me this Christmas as you was very good to me last Christmas. I want you to bring me an air rifle, a wagon and an aviator set, also some candy, apples and oranges. I will not be greedy this Christmas, as you have many other V.ys and girls to visit. Very truly youis, FRED GRIFFIN. P. S.-—Please bring me a pair of gloves, too. No joking, the Red Men tribe is just about the best attended organi zation in town these days. At Mon day night’s meeting 28 new mem bers applied for membership, and be sides them the hall is already pretty well filled at each meeting. Joe Habit took a back seat Monday when Raleigh Hollowell’s side took a big gain its*’ the membership contest. Looks like Joe and members of his side will have to feed somebody. ———o We’ve had two suggestions as to how it might be possible to keep Henry House here. Fact is we’ve had three, but that one involves a young lady, so we didn’t count it. I’m playing safe with the ladies, you know—so many of them subscribed to the Herald.
