THE CHOWAN HERALD A HOME NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF CHOWAN COUNTY | CANNING EXPERT [ MRS. ROSIN A MAXWELL Mrs. Maxwell will conduct meat canning demonstration at Chowan High School Thursday afternoon, January 13, at 2:30 o’clock.* Demonstration On Meat Canning At C. H. S. On Jan.-13 Mrs. Rosina K. Maxwell Will Instruct County Club Members AT 2:30 O’CLOCK Affair WoTSe Held Iff School’s Demonstra tion Room Os particular interest to members of Chowan County demonstration clubs is a meat canning demonstration which will be held at the Chowan High School on Thursday afternoon, January 13. The demonstration will take place at 2:30 o’clock in the dem onstration room of the school and all foods leaders as well as other club members are especially urged to at j tend. i In charge of the demonstration will be Mrs. Rosina K. Maxwell, from the educational department of Ball Bros Company of Muncie, Indiana. Mrs. Maxwell has given canning demon strations under widely varying condi tions. She has taught club leaders under ideal conditions, with every kind of modern convenience, and has gone to the homes of relief families to show how modern canning may bt done with the most primitive eqqp ment. i One of the outstanding accomplish ments during Mrs. Maxwell’s employ ment was the winning of the NatLla) 4-H Club Canning Contest in ISJ4. She has had considerable experieice as a judge of canned goods and at the National Club Congress she vas asked to be one of a committee of three to judge the exhibits. The most useful part of a denon stration is the question period vhen women ask the specific questions bat mean most to them. Mrs. Maxvell knows most of the questions as well as the answers. She has met hem in her many demonstrations ari in her exhibit work. She has mji an average of 5,000 women each lyear for the last three years in h<f ex hibit work at the Indiana ajuj Illi nois State Fairs. These exhibits of canned goods always invite questions, so it is little wonder that Mre, Max well has become an authority of sorts on canning questions. SENATOR STACY HERE Senator J.

[ Fire Causes Delay In ' Publication Os This Issue Os [The Herald Shape For Operation Thursday Morning WATER DAMAGE Southeast End of Broad And King Street Seri ously Threatened Fire, the second largest conflagra tion since the Farmers Peanut Com pany blaze of five years ago, threat ened on the southeast comer of Main "'and King Sts. around supper time Wednesday night and put the fin ger of fete temporarily on The Chowan Herald plant. Which means there may be some delay this week in this publication as well as The Per quimans Weekly, of Hertford, and a helped out edition of The Independent, of Elizabeth City. An all night es - fort will be made, of course, to over come the tiding situation, and The Herald publishers hope they will be indulged with in this emergency. The blaz«. which did an unestimated damage aid which may run into sev eral thousinds of dollars, started I around a /clock on the second floor of HabiCjsrestaurant and beer garden, ■ and in ah incredibly few minutes had ! gutted iid way through that establish- I! ment a»d caused a blaze on the top i floor on'the Herald office on King Street.! WitHn 10 minutes half the town it seemef had gathered on the scene and jfned with the fire department in thiwving water on the blaze. Much of th«water seeped through into the . W. DpHolmes Co. wholesale grocery, I the wTI. Cozzens store on the comer, and Into The Herald plant. First sec tions Cf the three papers in question had bten printed and forms were in readiness for the final printings. 3 However, water damaged many of i i the /nitial covers, and these are being; i. rui); through the presses again, which j i naturally will delay each'publication , gcp'hg out at the usual time. 1 r j Traveling Library In i J Edenton Jan. 17 to 221 //North Carolina’s traveling exhibit! 1 cf children’s books, conducted by thel J State Library Commission, will make ks annual visit to the library here ./during the week of January 17-22. -/The books for the little folks will be j placed on display for exhibition pur poses, and the following week will go on to Washington, N. C. The exhibit . librarian is Mrs. Elizabeth Betts, of Raleigh. Fiddlers Convention Be Held On Jan. 29 Edenton Band Will Also Be Asked to Give Con cert In Armory Though nothing definite has been arranged, C. E. Kramer, Chowan County chairman for the President’s birthday party, has discussed among his committee associates a tentative program for the afTV'r which will be held on the night of January 20. It is the general impression that the party will be held in the new Armory and that it will be in the form of a fiddlers’ convention. Initial sugges tions are that to begin with the Edenton High School Band will stage a band concert, which will be follow ed by a fiddlers’ contest, and later by both round and square dancing. It has been definitely decided that this form of entertainment at a nominal admission charge would pro vide amusement for a larger number j of people than to hire a high-priced orchestra and stage an elaborate ball, and at the same time result in a larger amount of revenue with whieh to combat infantile paralysis, which is primarlyi the purpose of the President’s birthday party celebra tions throughout the nation. An effort will be made to secure the services Os Scarboro Mizell, of Windsor, to conduct the fidllere* con vention,- Mr. Mizell bearing the repu tation of being a past master at this sort of entertainment, i N.K. Rowell Planning ; Meetings To Explain ! 1938 Farm Payments Soil Depleting and Soil Building Goals In New Program LETTERS SENT Agent Acquaints Farm ers With Cohdition Os Payments In furtherance of the AAA’s soil ■ conservation and improvement pro ■ gram being generallyi advised and i directed throughout the nation, ■ County Agent N. K. Rowell sent oat -a letter this week to all Chowan > 1 agriculturists, explaining to them i the purpose of both a soil depleting i goal and a soil building goal, which - are part of the 1938 program, i Payments will be earned, Mr. Rowell , brings out, by meeting the two goals, . by not overplanting the soil depleting - plan, and by coming up to or exceed : ing the soil building. . s A series of explanatory tables out lining how the goals work on an [ acreage base for 1937 in the case of . cotton, peanuts and other crops, are | incorporated by Mr. Rowell in his • two page letter to the farmers, as well as the 1938 payments that will [ accrue. lii order to more thoroughly ac i quaint the husbandmen with both ' plans Mr. Rowell says he expects to hold meetings throughout the county later, and “at these I will explain , these payments, rates and any other ; questions that may come up.” Concluding his letter Mr. Rowell states: Now, you may feel, as so many did In ?w37, that you can earn more by planting your entire farm to soil de pleting crops. Before making any plans it is hoped that you will study this program and see if you won’t ’ earn more net income by planting ! the goals as given us for 1938. I do j not think that you edn earn a greater net income by planting your entire ! farm in soil depleting crops than can j he earned by following the program, I : if you consider the extra cost, present! j prices and value of the soil improve-: I ment. The average increase in j yields for the state, due to cover ! crops being turned under, has been j cotton 400 pounds, peanuts 5 bags and corn 21 bushels pec acre or a value of $10.86. This would increase the value of the program as far as this farm is concerned to $462.86 besides the extra grazing ' furnished by the cover crops carried "over to be turned under in 1939. Lions Back Move To Get Road To Bridge L Topic Revived at Mon day Night’s Meeting By C. E. Kramer C. E. Kramer was guest speaker at the Lions meetirfg Monday night when he made an 'interesting talk on Scouting. Mr. Kramer also com mented on the advantages that would accrue to the town by a connecting paved road to thfe new Albemarle Sound bridge highway and in the course of his remarks suggested that the Lions Club and Rotary Club co operate to the fullest extent with the Chamber of Commerce in securing this important highway. Backing up their desire to cooper ate in the matter, Clarence Leary and W. R. Hoyt on were appointed by President William Privott to meet with a similar Committee from the Rotary Club in order to urge a called meeting of the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose ‘of discussing the possibilities of securing this road. Anticipating a fitting observance celebrating the first anniversary of the Edenton club, which will take place on Monday night, January 24, West Leary, J. A. Curran and Wal lace Griffin were appointed to arrange for the affair. J. Frank White, Jr., and Earl Harrell will have charge of the pro gram at next Monday night’s meet ing. ■ . ' FIREMEN MEET TONIGHT The monthly meeting of the Eden ton Fire Pepartment will be held tonight at the hire station. FjjjM A Lesson In Thrift The Tyler brothers, a fairly famed septette of Negro masons hailing from. Oxford, are here at work on the local school annex. They are laying bricks with great precision and rapidity and are a source of wonderment to Princi pal John A. Holmes. The seven brothers have been in masonry for 15 years and are said to have never been unemployed in all that period.. They are a thrifty, frugal clan, who pool their earn ings and deposit them in a joint bank account each week in Ox ford. Their idea of meeting “the recession” is to keep at work. They are making $1 an hour on the job here, a total of S2BO a ' week, of which they say they will ship S2OO weekly back to the Oxford bank. Sale Df Christmas Seals Nets $226.45 At __________ /!

All of her sons and daughters are with her, and two doctors and two nurses have been in daily attendance. An oxygen tent was resorted to last week in order to keep up the flow of life, but recent reports continue discouraging. The sympathy of the entire community has been expressed in many ways to the anxious family. 1 '' .

Kramer this week did venture the statement that business in the Edenton post office for the year 1937 was ap proximately 17 percent above that of 1936.
