THUESIIAy, NOVEMBER 21, 1935. DON’T FORGET THE ORPHANS! With the approach of the Thanks giving season, no .doubt .every edi tor’s desk is cluttered with letters and all sorts of literature from or phanages and homes for children urging the extreme need of financial assistance. And these appeals should not fall upon deaf ears. Care of the large number of home less children in North Carolina is of prime importance and people of our State ‘never forget the orphanages at this time of the _y«ar. Annually, .for years, there has heen jx special effort to aid them at Thanksgiving time. This will be no exception, for the various churches and secret fra- • ternities are now planning to raise monej for these children who through no fault of their own Are dependent upon ,the inner motive of kindness and service of those in better circum stances for subsistence. The North Carolina orphanages are supporting approximately 5,000 homeless children each year, which does not include the number assisted through Mother’s Aid- Each one of these institutions need money, for during the depression and even before a great many things were left undone at the orphanages. That condition still exists, but if liberal Thanksgiv ing donations are given especially from those iible to give most, the or phanages will be enabled to pay their bills and face the winter with a greater sense of security. Not a single citizen in the State, either male or female, should fail to join in the movement to provide room for the helpless orphans in the homes supported by loving generosity. Then, too, the Thanksgiving sea son can be made far more beautiful and the source of great joy in the fact that a part, though small it may De, has been taken in the program of child care and training. We cannot escape condemnation here or here after, if seeing human need, we “pass by on the other side” or seek to shift the responsibility on others. So at this Thanksgiving season, let all come to the assistance of the or phanages and give of our means to the one or more of our choice. It would be a fine contribution if every citizen of the State would give the income of a day to this worthy cause. It is an opportunity to render a ser vice to homeless children and at the same time make an investment in worthy childhood that will pay divi dends far beyond all human expecta tions. Don’t forget the orphans! SMITHFIELD TEAM AND FANS GOOD SPORTS It is becoming to comment on the sort of football team and fans from Smithfield who were in Edenton Fri day. ? Both the players and support ers who Accompanied them were the most sportsmanlike group of foot ball folks ever to appear on Hicks Field. Despite the fact that Smithfield was defeated by Edenton, not one single instance was observed during the game of unfair playing. The beys on the field played hard and demonstrated that they were good losers, while not a single unkindly remark was heard from their fans. The fact is that Smithfield prides themselves in putting out a team that plays a fair and square game win or lose, and further that the players refrain from using vulgar or profane language on the field. Thpir teaching was clearly demonstrated here-Friday, which resulted in one of. the cleanest and most games ever to be played on Hitfa» Field. It is such games sos football tha' are an asset to a team and a School, and will result in the building of courage, initiative, fairness and true sportsmanship, which after all should be the real purpose of high school football. Nope, school teachers will not be paid for time lost by illness. The State can’t afford it. But we won der if the teachers’ bosses and higher-ups lose any pay for time not spent on the job. That’s different, though! “President Roosevelt assures mayors that government will not let folks starve after next July,” says The News and Observer Wednesday. Yeah! But what is to become es them until that time? JMaybe the government expects the biggest por tion of them to die off until I UEA&D AND SEEN A& By “BIjFF” I - ■ ■■■■ " v Well, the big game at Durham is over, but possibly not forgotten by -a large number who were there, in Tact possibly the larger number, for .there was a sick-looking bunch of folks coming from the Carolina side of the stadium. A few days before the game the warning was sent out for folks to leave home early, steer clear; of Durham and stay sober. The| warning was two-thirds kept by a dickens of a bunch of them . . . .they, left early and steered clear of Dur- 1 ham. Os course lots of fojks. like to get “high* on ‘whiskey and other alcoholic 1 beverages, but I hear a couple of boys up the county have found a cheaper way. They get up with any thing containing gasoline and iiihale the fumes until they feel about the same as lots of fellows at a football game. o Some of the local politicians tell me that Clyde Hoey had his hair cut. Mr. Hoey, you know is a candidate for Governor and possibly wants to look as.young as his opponents. Any way, it’s a little early yet to antag-, onize the candidates . . . it’s no tell-: ing which one might pass out a few; cigars. o Paul Bunch is feeling a lot bettei, these days. Fact is he’s been ter-; ribly worried lately. While walking; Paul has been hearing a faint squeak and had about come to the conclu sion that his heart was about to go back on him. But, thank goodness, he discovered the other day that the squeak .was caused by his suspender buckle. A little oil has now remedied that and Friend Paul is again in the best .-of health. o • The Rotarians now are in the midst of an attendance contest, and Gus Moore, Eddie Spires, Jesse White and Major Rowell were absent from Marvin Jackson’s side last Thursday. Other members of the same side told me to ball ’em out. which will accordingly be done if they don’t Show up today. o And speaking of Rotary reminds me that Dick Holmes took particular pains to see that nobody smoked a pipe at last week’s meeting. He had a cigar placed at each plate, which was a good hint, I guess. Anyway, the brand was Home-made, which lacked just two letters being Dick’s last name. I’m wondering what sort of office Dick is figuring on running for . . . but then office-seekers quit passing around cigars for some rea son or other. Maybe it’s because they can’t afford good ones and afraid punky cigars would lose votes rather than gain any. o “Frisky,” the little white maltesf dog owned by the late Mrs. R. W. P Muse, and who with Mrs. Muse spent two winters in the home of Mr : Muse’s sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Liles, returned last Sunday for a visit to her old frieni and it was a joyous get-together as she gladly demonstrated her recogni tion of each one in every way known to dogdom. “Frisky” will be re membered here as the little dog that played the role of “Flopit” in Booth Tarkenton’s play, “Seventeen,” which was presented by the senior class of the Edenton High School at the Tay lor Theatre in 1927. During her stay here she made many friends who fre quently inquire about her and which prompted this notice of her visit. She came to know Frank Muth as the “candy man,” J. J. Long as the “beef man” and John Badham as a good pal who presented her with a nice collar and chain. Frisky now makes her home with Mrs. Muse’s daughter. Mrs. J. M. Trible, Jr., of West Point Va., and is amazingly active and mentally alert for a dog that will b' - 13 years old next May. She has been in the Muse family since she was three months old. And now this dog visit might give Mae Jackson’s purp a desire to go visiting again. o The following is a story of c strange family, if it is to be judged by church-goers in Edenton. It was taken from the Christian Advocate and thus applies to Methodists only— maybe:V' »J y ... j| 3 | S “The father has not missed church -Lfc 23fcyiears.

Don’t they ever have company to keep them from church? Don’t they ever feel tired on Sunday morn ing? Don’t they ever have head aches, of colds, or parties, or picnics, to keep them from church? Don’t they have a radio to get good ser mons from other preachers? Don’t they ever think they can just as well read their Bible at home? Don’t they ever get disgusted with their minister ? “Wha.t is the matter with this family, anyway, that they go to church so regularly and are so happy and cheerful?”—St. Matthew Month ly, Appleton, Wis. #> i The Edenton High School football team is expecting a large number of fan? to accompany them to Rocky IMM Friday to meet Sanford for \ \ THE CHOWAN ’HERALD.

Let’s show them we appreciate their ; efforts and travel with them as far as they .go- And speaking of Eden » ton fans .reminds me of one of the : most loyal, who doesn’t even live in i Edenton but jean he .counted .upon to turn up* when a game is on deck . . . ■j he’s Sheriff Fred Dunstan of Wind sor and can Tell you more about .the , local team than many home folks. , Glad to have you, Sheriff, any old ■i timej o And then Mike Kehayas can’t al . ways get to a (game, but he has been :! giving an honest-to-goodness supper to the boys for playing the best game. Last year he served a turkey dinner to the Aces, and if he hasn’t !. yet, he’s going to do it again this !• year. After feeding these football boys several times, Mike, no doubt ’ can sympathize with the daddies of the kids who must fork up three meals to ‘them every day. o Too much cannot be said in praise of the Smithfield football team and : the fans accompanying the team here last Friday. Both groups were the ; most sportsmanlike set of folks ever to gather on the local gridiron. De spite the fact .that .the .football team * was outclassed, the boys on the team played a hard and fair and square , game. There was the best sort of; _ feeling both among the players and, supporters. All high ®:haol football teams and fans might well emulate, the sportsmanship displayed by thei Smithfield folks. We’re glad they,, miw t» Edenton and hope they thirikj as much of the Edenton people as: we do of them. Would that alii games were as agreeable and sports manlike as the game with Smithfield and here’s hoping the two teams will! meet again next year.. o In addressing a large number of: letters this week, I purposely omitted: writing “Mr.” on each envelope First, to save time, and second to save ink (it’s the Scotch in me). But one of the addressees wants it under stood that he is “Mr. So and So.” Well, when he complies with the re quest made inside the envelope, I’ll tack the “Mr.” to his name. Watch out for the bloomin’ Metho dists Sunday. The preacher will be attending conference and no preach ing service will be held that day. Os course, they’ll flock to the other churches, every one of them —maybe. - -"i|" -■ ■ w Which reminds me that a fellow when asked why the drizzling rain didn’t affect the attend ance at the Duke stadium, remarked that it was a Methodist school and they believed in sprinkling. o Os course, many at the game that day believed in “pouring,” if the empty whiskey bottles and unsteady gait was any sign. o The Red Cross drive has, been post poned due to the injury to Mrs. J. N. Pruden, but save back a dollar, for the campaign will be put on, and nc dollar could go to a more worthy cause. >: o The United Charities drive is about completed, and according to the do -1 nations of money and things the un employables will receive help over the winter months. Which reminds me of an items I saw in an exchange to the effect that with all the govern ment relief, a fellow can’t get a job : unless he’s on relief and he can’t get relief if he’s got a job. The management of the Taylor ; Theatre has selected an outstanding picture f<s* the Thanksgiving Day program and here’s letting the pub lic know way ahead what it is— Paramount’s “Big Broadcast of i 1936.” It stars such notables as i Bing Crosby, Jack Oakie, Amos ’n’ : Andy and a host of others, I . ■ ■ 32 On Honor 801 l At Merry Hill School i s Thirty-two students in the Merry ; Hill school were on the honor roll -for the past month.

IN MEMOKIAM Just over the mystical stream on the "'Beautifol Isle of Somewhere” dwells the sweet spirit of Annie Jor dan, and her presence adds bright ness and charm to the “house of many mansions.” And while thinking of her today, it seems that it cannot be true that she was so suddenly called away. How stricken the home, how deso late the fireside now that her dear voice and footsteps are heard no more. “Methinks I hear her voice as with the saints she stands singing with the angels on that far sinless land.” Among the attributes of her lovely character was unselfishness, the priceless gem of the Christian soul. What a rich heritage she has left to many who will mourn her, as their own dear ones are mourned. She has reared for herself a mon ument that time cannot destroy. .Taking the Chase" I ‘Out of Purchase! ■ ’■ ;> ■, ADVERTISING benefits the man who buys as well as the man who sells.
