GOOD IDEA WE SAY The WPA has proposed many fine things eve® if it has failed to exhi bit itseiff with much splendor in Cho wan. hot in mane, it seems to us, has it shown itself so well as in the pro posal by E. S. Askew to erect shel ters or depots along the state school bos routes for the protection of child re® waiting for the vehicles on cold or inclement mornings. The whole idea is mote or less vague at presemt-probubly the diffe rent counties will be asked to bear I their share of the cast-but vague or otherwise the plan is a fine one. If it does nothing eJse but keep the children off the highways it will have justified itself. Mr. Askew, former WPA adminis trator out this way and a Bertie na tive, was here last week making a survey of the possibilities in this sec tion. He said there are at present more than 4.660 buses handling school ehiSdre® over 6,666 routes in North Chroiina. This is tremendous infor mation of itself. And when you realize these school children leave their homes in the morning to roatm up and down main highways waiting for buses, the risk they face everywhere from accident 1 becomes easily apparent. By the erection of shelters, “sheds” Mr. Askew calls them, the children would be obliged to make for given points of segregation where they I would be pocked up by bus drivers. This would at least keep them off , the roads, would provide them with shelter rainy or cold days, would , establish depots to which the busses , could make on time table or schedule time off stopping everywhere, as at . present, wherever a school child , shows itseiff, arad, to say the least, Mr. Askew explained, would reduce , the cost off bus operation by as much . &s &■ per cent. < But the big thing, it strikes us, , would be tbe reduction of hazard to child life. And if a child's life is worth anything at all the new WPA . move is of paramount importance. \ It's worth a try everywhere. 1 THEY TASTE GOOD JEST IHE SAME k ?fcat makes an apple blush? You ] may have thought some smirk up so j rosily because they have been ob- j liged to lie side by side with a speck- ] ed companion. Or that a wide awake j store keeper has spit on them and i polished them into nothing but 1 blushes: But in any instance your ■ guess is wrong. The Department of 1 • Agriculture has just notified the , world that chemnkal tests have prov en that iff an apple has S-galactisidyl cyaniidin it blushes.

In red vari-!i etiies the unseen coloring matter is i acted upon chemically and changed to i red odaein, which is a simpler name ] for 3 - galactosidylcyanidin. They have mot yet identified the conditions that cause this change from yellow to ; red. !, Chew over these words and you 11 : esnjwy ywar Thank?

Except fear a ©-6 tie with Roanoke Eapids and a last minute defeat in the fare off believed sure victory at 1 Elizabeth City, Coach Dave Holton and his team have swept the boards : clean everywhere everytime. To have been able to hold the Roanoke Rapids youngsters, everyone of whom out weighed the local eleven, was the same as winning, and to have whip ped the Elizabeth City terriers into such a frenzy that Urey forced success in the last five minutes, was nothing to be ashamed off, either. Nothing but praise is due the lo cal gridironers, especially their coach who had mew material whea be start ed and developed dt into champion ship Toon from thA very beginning.

JL Speaking about putting bon-ami on the windows at the armory last week, I was reminded of a better scheme. On one occasion some kind of an affair was being pulled off and the youngsters were causing consider able annoyance. It soon came to an end, however, when Tom Leary po litely waltzed up to a broken-out window pane and let fly a big mouth ful of tobacco joke. That was in the old days, though—the boys chew chewing gum now. o Snoodie Mills don’t go to see many football games, but he did go to see the last local game on Friday. The Washington team in size looked more like a college team than a high school squad and someone asked Snoodie what the numbers on the backs of the boys represented. The numbers ranged as high as 45 and Snoodie took it for granted that the numbers represented the age of the bearer. Anyway Edenton took an unexpected game from the Washing ton boys, so who cares how old they were? It was a cracker-jack good game and still the home slate is clean. And speaking of the Edenton foot ball team, we've just reason to be proud of ’em. A shot at the eastern championship was missed by a single point and. if you ask me, that very point was very doubtful. Coach Dave Holton has done an excellent job in mustering together a tough little team from practically last year’s second team, and if they all turn up next season Edenton should go a little further in the championship race at least. a I’m not so hot at picking football stars, but if Melvin Layton wouldn’t be included in an all-State high school line-up, then I’ll quit going to see football games and start up fish ii ; again. And it Fete Everett eats plenty of peanuts or some other fat tening food to gain a little more poundage it’s a cinch he’ll cause plenty of worry to opponents next year, too. The extension class of Chowan ' County visited The Herald office Tuesday just when the paper was be i ing made up. The class is composed The Elizabeth City defeat was un fortunate, and in away unexplain able, and the Pasquotank eleven’s subsequent overthrow by the gridders who failed so dismally here, is an indication pyschology is a dangerous thing to fool with. However, all praise to the boys of Edenton. They brought credit for another season to their town and justified anew the feeling that Eden ton is a town of football supremacy. Now for next year. ~ i i 'iTi ’ ’""iiiWUliDiitl ~ ' THE CHOMAN HERALD. EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1936 ■ i......■■ihiu.i..muinnmn ii him mninf»| of a group of good-looking school teachers an’ ’fore de lawd, I thought our foreman, Captain Billington, would never get through explaining. And I’ll bet a cookie if the class would have been made up of men folks he wouldn’t have even looked up over his specs. Little Gumie Hobbs must be deter mined to be a consarn poet. He has written another poem and here it is, but I hope it don’t get all the other poets a-writin’; I love to walk to school each day, Where the Indian children used to play. I love to write and draw some, too, I always color the clear sky blue. The Indians like to ride the river, When it’s cold I know thfey shiver. They take some poles and cut them down, And stick them right in the ground. They put some skins over the top, Down, down, down, the end of them flop. The coyote out on the prairies howl, And the bears around the wigwam will prowl. The moon-man can see from sky, to the ground, He sees the Indians walking around. - o The Masons pulled a surprise bar becue supper last Thursday night which makes every lodge in Edenton staging a free feed within two weeks. Now, how about members attending the meetings just as if there was no feed on deck? Time was when I had the gumption to ask Sam Taylor about the middle of the week if he had a good crowd at the picture show. But I’d hate to j ask him the same question lately’., He used to say T “There are plenty of seats still unfilled,” which would be welcome news to the folks who crowd in the lobby Wednesday nights when bank night is observed. And by the way, the bank night pride is sllO now and if somebody doesn’t soon get lucky it’s no telling how the folks will get inside the theatre. If the crowd continues to increase I think I’ll see Captain Sam about hiring a concession to sell hot dogs or sumpin’ so that folks can come to the theatre in the afternoon, eat their lunch and be sure of a seat. I’d hate to be a clerk in a grocery store. The other day a lady while making some purchases asked a clerk: “How much are your brains, or don’t you have any?” The clerk, after looking on the shelf replied, “I’m sorry, ma'am, but I don’t have any.” If he did txey must have been fja I.ill i i cooked by the way his face reddened when the lady said, “I thought so.” [ o ** With Leggett & Davis, Mitchener’s Pharmacy and Hobowsky’s giving away free Christmas gifts, Sutton’s Drug Store has also joined the give away crowd: Sutton’s will give away two prizes, a $35 toilet set and a $12.50 toilet set. All one has to do is to guess how many beans are in the jar at the store. Why in the dickens don’t somebody give away a turkey so a fellow will be sure of a good square meal ? u The drums and bugles for the American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps, have arrived, but, shucks, that’s no news for if you didn’t know it, it must be because something is wrong with your sense of hearing. News spread about town like wild fire Saturday night that Sid White, prominent Chowan farmer, had died. However, his friends will be delight ed to know that he is still very much alive which makes by far more pleas ant news. o Hats off to Mrs. J. N. Pruden and her corps of workers in the annual Red Cross Roll Call. We see that some of the adjoining counties are lagging in reaching their quota while in Chowan the goal will be exceeded. Fortunately, Chowan has never had occasion to call on the Red Cross for aid during a catastrophe, but benefits have been derived otherwise and citi zens sense the worthiness of the or ganization. And when this is true, old Chowan can always be depended upon. Three cheers for the Red Cross and all who have helped to put the drive over the top in creditable fashion. Odd Fellows* Rally Next Tuesday Night Grand Secretary H. A. Halstead, of the Independent Order of Odd Fel lows will be in Chowan County next week in the interest of building up the Elm Grove Lodge of the Order, the hall of which is situated in the Evans Church section. On Tuesday night at 7:30 o’clock a general rally will be held in the hall, when a delegation of Odd Fellows from Elizabeth. City will be present. Past and present members as well as any who may be interested are cor dially invited to be present. Roanoke Rapids In Title Game Friday Roanoke Rapids, which team played a scoreless tie with the Edenton High School, was successtul in winning the eastern Class B championship and on Friday afternoon will clash with the Mills Home team in Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill, for the State champion shm. The game will start at 2:301 o’lrock and at the same time and place Saturday, Raleigh and Char lotte will fight it out for State Class A champions. Will Os R. P. Morris Probated Saturday By the terms of the will of the late R. P. Morris, aged Cowpen Neck farmer who died last month, which was admitted to probate' last Satur day, the entire estate, considered small is bequeathed “to my beloved sister, Annie Morris,” with whom the testator lived unmarried all his long life. Miss Morris is named executrix jof the estate. Another Historical Marker Placed On North Broad Street Edenton’s fourth State highway historical marker went into place ■ Tuesday morning on the St. Paul's church side of Broad Street at the West Church Street end of the tract. ; The latest marker commemorates , Samuel Johnston and directs the way to Johnston’s summer home “Hayes,” still standing as the present residence of John G. Wood. A fifth marker calling attention to the ancient Court , House and telling where it is located is expected for placement next week. , 1 The Johnston marker sets not far , from the one first placed bearing re , ference to Old St. Paul’s and is di* ! rectly across the street from another “ lar . and his home around the corner on {East Church Street. It is marked as follows: “A. 9—Samuel Johnston. Revolu tionary Leader, Governor, U. S. Sen ator. His home ‘Hayes’ and grave are one mile S. E.” Still another marker, that ac quainting travelers with the fact that Joseph Hewes, signer of the declara tion, once resided here and carried on a merchant trade, was placed some time ago farther south on Broad Street, near East Queen Street. To l carry out the exact distance from it to where Hewes store was once lo cated, it was found necessary to set the marker up closely adjacent to an old chinaberry tree which made the marker somewhat hard to see and read by tourists. Taking cognizance of this fact the town council ordered the tree cut down, and it was so re moved last week. Masons Will Have No Meeting On Thursday No meeting of Unanimity Lodge will be held Thursday night, the re gular communication having been called off due to the Thanksgiving holiday. In the meantime Edenton Masons are being solicited for the usual Thanksgiving offering for Ox ford Orphanage. E. T. Rawlinson is chairman of the orphanage committee of the local lodge and has appointed several assistants in an effort to raise a creditable sum for the or phanage, which is badly in need of funds. A very interesting meeting was held last Thursday night when past master’s night was observed. Past masters who were placed in the var ious stations and places included: D. B. Liles, master: J. G. Cam pen. jun ior warden; J. Edwin Bufflap, sec retary; E. T. Rawlinson, senior dea con; W. C. Bunch, junior deacon; H. A. Campen and E. \V. Spires, stew ards. A. S. Hollowed, educational sec retary. had charge of the program a feature of which was the presenta tion of a past master’s jewel to W. C. Bunch. The presentation was made by D. B. Liles, after which a barbecue dinner was served.
