Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him.—Psalm 37:5-7. WE’LL NEVER FORGET HIS FIRST CORDIAL GREETING The Herald sympathizes with mem bers of the family and friends in the passing of E. S. Norman last week. Back in the days when Edenton peo ple were more or less isolated, and appeared somewhat hard to become acquainted with, the editor of the Herald well remembers Mr. Norman, when after being in Edenton but a few days, dropped in the newspaper office one day, and in his genial sort of way made himself known and ex tended an invitation to attend the Baptist Church, of which he was a deacon at that time. As a stranger in the city, the greet ing made an indelible impression which remained and became more profound with the passing of the years, We cannot but regret to see "passing from our midst one who meant so much to us when greetings were so few and so cordial. THEY WILL NOT SUFFER IN CHOWAN Unfortunates in Edenton and Cho wan County will not starve or freeze to death. Just as predicted by the Herald, citizens, when deploring facts were made known, rallied, reorganized the ; United Charities, and plans put in operation whereby food, clothing, fuel and medicine will be given to those f who are unable to provide for them selves. We hate to report the suffering in our county, but facts are facts, and we felt positive proper action would have been taken in the interest of the old and infirm. The United Charities in years past has done an admirable 1 piece of work in providing relief, and , I under the present set-up their effici- j l—ency will be greatly increased. But the organization needs funds, food, clothing, fuel and medicine. To this end an intensive campfUgn will be launched and every section will be so licited. The Herald hopes and be lieves that the majority of those who are able should and will rally to the present emergency, and contribute as liberally as they can to the end that as little suffering as possible can be r pointed to Chowan County. The need is urgent, and the time is now when something must be done. The United Charities will be gov erned by a level-headed executive committee, and those who make do nations of any kind may rest assured that they will go where most needed and where they will do the greatest amount of good. Let’s all rally to the cause in the present emergency! United Charities Now Needs Your Support (Continued from Page One) prevent suffering. Following are the committees named to solicit funds or supplies to be used during the present emer gency, all of which will be handled through the United Charities.

The writer was floored in the first round with Battling Flu and took the count un , til Wednesday afternoon. And even at that time should have remained | at home. But, shucks, printers don’t have any sense, no how, so we’re do ing the best we can feeling as bad as we do. o Just like I said several times bo fore . . . I’m going to try to stay on the good side of the ladies. And for just such reasons as this: Marvin Jackson (who hadn’t subscribed to the Herald) last week dropped into the office while we were mailing the papers. He was given a copy of the paper, which he took home for his wife to read. And after reading a portion of it she had this so say: “Marvin, I want this paper every week. March yourself down right away and subscribe for it.” 'At a boy, wives, get ’em told. Some men don’t know a good thing when they see it. Which reminds me of the saying that “Self-praise stinks.” Well, if we don’t toot our own horn, who’s go ing to toot it, anyway? o Minton Dixon, who has moved his family to Elizabeth City, dropped me a card, asking that his Herald be transferred to Elizabeth City. “And please send us last week’s copy which we missed while moving,” he asked. We complied with his request, and Pm wondering what kind of a tie he’s wearing these days. o A friend riding in an automobile asked me why I didn’t wave my hand at him one of those cold mornings last week when he spoke to me. Well, as cold as it was, demed if I’d have yanked my hands out of a nice warm pocket even to greet President Roose velt, or the president of the Chowan Chamber of Commerce (IF WE HAD ONE). o Captain J. L. Wiggins last Thurs day counted those present at the Ro tary luncheon. “We have 16 present and one visitor,” he said. The visi tor must have been John Small. Any way, John made a fine speech, and 1 didn’t hear anyone mention a maga zine from which he got his informa tion. o But speaking of Rotary, I want to , be president of the club some time. | The main reason for this ambition is that the ladies who serve the dinner always place a tray of nice hot rolls in front of the president’s plate. Maybe that’s the inducement to make them anxious for the presidency. o Well, the bloomin’ toll is off the bridge now, and I’m got my ear to the ground to hear who DID IT. But shucks, I don’t reckon we’ll hear about that until election time. The writer isn’t color blind, but I want to make a correction in a news story in last week’s issue. In writ ing the story about Gillard Ainsley being fined for cutting Worley Wil son, I stated that both young men were colored. Fact is they are white and the writer should have known better, but the information was re ceived on one of those cold mornings and at a time when yours truly wife feeling old man Flu creeping on, and it’s a wonder even a more serious mistake didn’t occur. But even at that I’m sorry I referred to them as being colored, and the next time (if there is a next time) they're ar rested we’ll be sure to mention the fact that they’re white men. o The American Legion Auxiliary vvvvvv> w *^rirvvTnrTr'rTr>nnnrvirvvvvvvvvvvvvVVVVVVVVVVVV , ?VVV*« NOTICE! $ <► «> BABY CHICK SEASON IS HERE i| ii . * I < ► For Livability and Quick Growth | Feed Either I ' z | PURINA STARTINA T : t ~ or v I PCX STARTER AND GROWER | .*. «y ■k :t | ❖ I I 1 The price is right.

Which reminds me that i some readers of this colum have re-‘ 1 minded Friend Charlie that he must t have been behaving himself all right - because he hasn’t been “writ” up 3 lately. Anyhow, here’s hoping a large crowd cooperates with the Auxiliary in their effort to raise some money. • If you can’t dance, go around and see i who can dance. r o 1 Which reminds me that one of the ’ dancers at the President’s ball is said | to have carried his head too far up : in the air while dancing, and that an other prominent man always dances * like he is stiff-legged. o A birthday party was held recent ly in the county, where it is the cus tom of placing money under the plate of the honoree. One young chap asked his dad for some money, and the father asked what he wanted with it. “I want to put it under grandpa’s plate,” was the answer. “How much do you want,” asked dad again. “Oh, a nickel is enough,” he spid, “it’s no use to waste money,” the boy said. Poor granddad! Many of us have often heard the question asked as to how long it takes a fellow to sober up after being under the influence of liquor. Dr. Whichard was asked the same ques tion at the hearing in the municipal building Tuesday night. He gave a case of self-experience on one occa sion when he was a young man, and it looks like the circumstances can sober up a fellow P. D. Q. sometimes. o Eddie Spires on one occasion re cently said it was a luxury to have to go home sick. I had the same luxury last week. The luxury part of it was a “cat parade” and “cat concert.” While I was lying grunting and groaning, about six cats, with tails stuck heavenward and fur all puffed out, and keeping perfect step parad ed through my yard across the lot to D. B. Liles’ yard, where there are a few boxes. After jumping on and off the boxes several times, the same parade marched back again, only to be repeated several times during the day. And at night the whole darn chorus gathered under my house and rendered several “high tenor” selec tions.” Here’s orchids to the lady who suggested a campaign to kill off the cat population. * o According to a story In this issue, readers will see that yours truly will soon be pappy-in-law. Anyhow it’s no use feeling old until a fellow’s grandpappy. o It’s usually the rule for a person to tell others what to do in case of sickness after it’s all over. So here’s my advise to those who get the flu. First fill your nose and throat full of Vicks salve, then eat all the onions you can, then drain all the old bottles of prescriptions in the medicine cab inet. Following that gallop down a bunch of bootleg liquor( which should be wrenched down with some liquor from Norfolk. Crawl up close to the stove as possible and if you don’t feel a little better take a big dose of axle grease. That’s about what I did, and pass it on to other sufferers. o Josiah Elliott dropped in the office the other day for an extra copy of the Herald. One of his eyes were all blood-shot, and I thought he was poked in it, but Joe hurriedly ex plained that he had just caught a cold in the eye.
