Legionnaires Plan
Sons Legion Group
Boys Will Attend Next
Meeting of Ed Bond
Post
If plans materialize as promulgat
ed at the meeting of Ed Bond Post
Friday night, Chowan ■ County will
in the near future be represented by
a branch of Sons of the Legion. The
idea was generally discussed, the
opinion being advanced that such an
organization would greatly increase
interest in the local post, which at
present is far above par. There are
quite a number of sons of Legion
naires in Chowan and the plan will
be discussed with them to ascertain
the apparent interest in such a
group.
The sons of Ed Bond Post members
will no doubt be asked to attend the
next meeting of the Post before de
finite steps are taken to organize.

THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. N. C.. THURSDAY. APRIL 14, 1938
Richard Dixon Taking
C. Applications
Richard D. Dixon has again been
named Chowan County chairman of
the Military Training Camp’s Asso
ciation and is now ready to receive
applications. The camp for this area
will be held at Fort Bragg from June
16 to July 16. Mr. Dixon says the
quota for Chowan is 3 but that he
will register more than that number
who may enter camp providing eome
other county fails to send its full
quota.
The C. M. T. Camps are direct
descendants of the pre-war Platts
burg Camp originated by the late
General Leonard Wood. Physical
examination during the war indicated
that nearly half the young men of
the country were physically unfit for
active military service. This alarm
ing situation was met by Congress in
1920 by creating the Citizens Military
Training Camps, which normally
provide approximately forty thousand
young men annually with proper diet,
and exercise amidst healthful outdoor
surroundings. These young men re
turn to their homes ardent exponents
of the American principles of physi
cal health and fitness.
The mission of these training
camps is to bring together under
healthful surroundings on a common
basis of equality, young men from all
walks of life, and by supervised ath
letics, military drill and instruction
in citizenship to develop them men
tally, morally, and physically, pro
mote wholesome respect for Ameri
can ideals, teach the value of team
work, fit them for leadership, and
upon them the obligations
and responsibilities of true American
citizenship.

Civil Cases Cause
Extended Session
April Term Court
Nixon Divorce Suit Fin
ally Settled on Sat
urday
Despite the preponderance of crim
inal matters, hastily disposed of, last
week’s term of Superior Court with
Judge C. E. Thompson presiding,
managed to drag out longer than was
expected. One elaborate civil action
and two divorce cases kept Judge
Thompson and the bar active until
Saturday afternoon.
The Nixon vs NSxon divorce, which
has been on the dockets in various
forms since 1933, ran two days, and
resulted in a quick jury severance
of marital ties, in favor of Mordecai
Morris Nixon and against his former
wife, Marchia Small Nlixon. The]
case brought out a large attendance!
of' mid-county residents where both
the parties to the action are promi
nently known. John W. Graham and
J. H. Leroy, the latter from Eliza
beth City, represented Mr. Nixon,
and W. .D. Pruden appeared for the
defendant. Judge Thompson noted
on the verdict permission, if desired,
to reopen the action at the September
term.
The other divorce, granted in the
usual perfunctory manner, had Jesse
A. Craft, a new Edenton resident,
and Arvilla L. Craft, as the princi
pals. It was uncontested and Mr.
Craft was allowed a severance.
The civil action, highly interest
ing, involved a suit for freight
charges on a carload of mules ship
ped to C. T. Griffin from East St.
< Louis, Mo., with the last carrier, the
Norfolk Southern Railroad, suing for
1 $235. Mr. Griffin brought a counter
■ suit for the death of one mule in
transit and damage to 24 others, to
-1 taling $535. The verdict was a sort
• of compromise, the railroad being al
lowed its freight bill and Mr. Griffin
• j allowed the cost of the mule lost and
■ | expense for treating the remainder
■ of the shipment.
: Funeral Held Tuesday
For K. R. Winslow
Funeral services were held Tues
day at Warwick Baptist Church for
■ jK. R. Winslow, prominent up-county
i 1 resident. Mr. Winslow died Monday
• | morning in Lake View Hospital, Sus
! folk, Va., following an illness of sev-
I eral years. The funeral was largely
attended and many flowers attested
i to the esteem in which he was held,
j He is survived by his widow, the
former Maybelle Privott, and four
children, Katherine, James Russell,
Robert Ray and Margaret, all at
home. His mother, Mrs. James
Winslow, and a brother, Roy Wins
low, both of Gliden, and a sister,
Mrs. Lester Rountree, of Hobbsville,
also survive.

race, Mr. Snail won, because he kept
going and did not stop to sleep and
tell what he was going to do on the
morrow. In this contest there are
both classes—the flash and the
steady go-getter and it is safe to
predict that the go-getter who keeps
plugging away—who keeps at sub
scription getting steadily will come
under the wire a winner—May 21.
The sliding scale of votes which
subscriptions earn for the four pe
riods of the campaign will be found
on the front of each receipt book. It
is important that all contestants
study this table carefully, in order
that they may realize the importance
of getting subscriptions in

Now is the most important time in
the entire campaign, the time to col
