Herald Campaign Workers In Neck and Neck Race for PrizesfAs Contest Goes On First Big Vote Period Terminates Saturday, April 30th NO WAIK-AWAY Amount of Work This Week May Decide Winners The workers entered in The Her ald’s big circulation drive are re quested to look at the calendar— then step on it. Just nine more days remain of the biggest vote earning period in this campaign. The track is clear, the bars are up, and every single candidate in this big drive has the right of way. Now for action. The preliminaries of the race are over and the necessity for real effort on the part of those who are par ticipating is at hand. Every single day is important now to those who want to win big in this campaign. Once you have started, don’t work half-heartedly or let anyone discourage you. And don’t forget that the Jiarder you work the bigger your pay check whether you finish in first or last place in the race. Every single contestant in this race has his or her eyes on that big first prize, to be awarded May 21, the S3OO cash. There" are three other prizes to be awarded at the close of the race but the one who puts forth that extra effort will be awarded the three hundred dollars. So far it is a neck and neck race, just a few hours work separate the first place leader and the odes lower in the standing. Each one in the race has the opportunity of being the leader next week. At the present time the votes show that the leaders are very closely “bunched” and the differences are so small that if one slackens the pace, she may be over taken and passed in the race. Contestants, now is the time to get in there and work if you expect to win. Workers who think that they have no chances of winning, have a very small chance, indeed. If you would make up your mind to win and get busy with that idea in mind you will Win. Ambition and confidence in one’s self is the greatest asset a man or woman will ever own. It is the fighter that wins in any strong competition, and this campaign has developed and will continue to develop th$ fc strong fighter. There is no luck connected with this contest. Hard work and determination count for the most and are the only two require ments necessary to land a big prize in this campaign. Work and you must win. Just nine more days remain to win or lose awards. That is practically what it amounts to to all workers in this circulation campaign. So closely arrayed and with honors so evenly divided up to the present time, that it depends entirely upon the results obtained by each worker be tween this time and the close of the first -period—Saturday, April 30—as to who the ultimate winners will be. No one has a walk-away, neither is anyone hopelessly beaten. Just a few long-term subscriptions secured by anyone of the contestants would change the entire lineup and crown a new leader. Get five-year subscrip -1 tions between now and April 30. It is not, what has been done or what will be done three weeks from now, but what is being aeimnplished Tight " bow that counts. The wise worker is the one who sees oppor that will be impemdble to overtake: ‘ There' hr 'stH? room in this cam paign for, a few more real live-wire workers—« new contestant can enter now and with real effort make him self a big factor in this race. 'But now—not later—is the time to enter your name. IfcJpW are interested in having S3OO ft* costing you one penny— then call at The Herald office and have this campaign ex . plained to you.

Edenton, Chowan County, Norm Carolina, Thursday, April 21,19387 Chowan Goes Over Top In Campaign For Cancer Control .* ■ » S . -,-■ .y*dn- »i—., . . V-J « . . y-V Mrs. B. Warner Evans Reports Quota of 113 Members VERY GRATEFUL Canvassers Meet Gener ous Response When Purpose Known Cancer, that malignant growth that eats away life and flirts so terribly with death, got a body blow this week when Chowan and Edenton both went “over the top” in the drive being inaugurated in this sector for the control of this much dreaded malady. Mrs. B. Warner Evans, general chairman for the whole of Chowan, expressed herself as much elated over the results so far, gave high praise to her long list of can vassers for their zeal and energy, as well as her thanks to everyone who spiked the cancer guns and drove the death demon across the barricades behind which it has hidden so fear lessly for centuries. Perhaps the greatest individual progress in the drive was shown in Edenton, where Mrs. Wood Privott and Miss Rebecca Colwell served so energetically as Mrs. Evans’ chief lieutenants. Edenton’s monetary quota was set at $66, and the after- Easter totals compiled by the town canvassers showed this sum had been easily secured and that a record of $73.40 had already been secured. In the county the canvassers re-; ported to Mrs. Evans a collection of $39.60 more with the full quota of 113 members reached early. The American Society for the Con trol of Cancer, which has been spon soring the drive throughout the na tion, is hopeful the campaign will be a continual one throughout the year. But just what course will be carried out here it was said was yet proble matical. Memberships in Edenton secured since the last issue of The Herald are: Mrs. L. D. Bond, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Jones, Badham Bros., Oscar Elliott, Mrs. Jimmie Earnhardt, J. W. Yates, J. H. Burroughs, J. A. Curran, H. H. Taylor, Quinn Furniture Co., T. C. Byrum, D. M.

Frank White, Jr. Highly Praised For Clean Up Efforts Miss Colwell, Too, Given Praise For Work In County LASTWEEK Final Drive Starts to Make Edenton 100 Per Cent Town Following three weeks of intensive effort on the part of many and in which notable results have been evi denced on all sides, Edenton’s “Clean up-Paint up” campaign enters upon its last seven days on Sunday and joins in that brief period with the rest of the State and nation in a unified move to make the town, the county, the State, the country a more presentable place, everywhere, in which to live. General County Chairman Rebecca Colwell and Town Chairman J. Frank White, Jr., both report flattering re ports from all sections of Chowan, declarations easily observable to everyone of proof. In the country side sections the home demonstration clubs have been making a vigorous drive amongst the various house wives, and a general indication to lead instead of follow the rest of the State has been noticeable. In Edenton praiseworthy indeed have been the comments addressed to Mr. White and his army of co workers, one such standing out vivid ;ly in retrospect. Last week Miss Pauline Smith, of Raleigh, State chairman of the club clean up move ment, was here and declared that in her travels about North Carolina she had found no community, large or small, which would compare with Edenton in external cleanliness. .Naturally Miss Smith observed a number of advertising signs and pos ters which she felt could be eliminat ed, and should be, but she scored these as of lesser importance than the general appearance of beautifica tion the town had engaged in every where. Upon her return to Raleigh Miss Smith emphasized her praise of Edenton’s stand in a happy telegram to Mr. White, in which she expressed a desire for him to have prepared a story of the local campaign and its results, for submission by her to a national magazine. It goes without saying that Mr. White saw that this thought was carried out at once. In addition Miss Smith was verbose in her praise of the chairman person ally and of his undivided efforts to place Edenton on the “Clean up- Paint up” as well as historical map. In the last week Mr. White said he was hopeful the merchants and other shop-keepers would exert them selves in helping clean up their places of business and the surround ings. In this connection, Mr. White said, “it is as important to clean up the back as it is the front.” | Mr. White will meet with his com mittee over the week-end and join with them in suggestions for making the last seven days of the drive count. Acreage Allotments For Chowan County County Agent N. K. Rowell on Sat urday received acreage allotments for the year under the new farm control act. The allotments, though cause for considerable comment pro vide for just a trifle leas than was planted last year. For cotton Hie acreage allotment is 4,981 acres which compares with 4,914 last year, while the tobacco acreage fo*0»38 is £O3 acres as against 539 last year. | Cleanest Town 1 Edenton has every reason to be justly proud of the appearance of the town as the result of clean up activities the past few weeks. Miss Pauline Smith, dis trict home demonstration agent, last week said that in her travels Edenton was the cleanest town and had shown more activity in the beautification movement than any town she had seen in the State.' She expressed the hope that Chowan County would wind up the campaign as one of the 100 percent counties in the nation. Love Feast Develops When Representatives Gather To Discuss Bridge Celebration Bridge Celebration Committee Meets Today At Manteo Acting quickly after a meeting held last Thursday in Plymouth by delegates from seven Albe marle counties to discuss the cele bration of the opening of the new ' Albemarle Sound bridge, C. W. 1 Tatem, temporary chairman of the group, early this week called a 1 meeting of the central steering 1 committee to be held today 1 (Thursday) at Manteo at 11 a. m. ‘ The purpose of this meeting is * for the two delegates from each ‘ county to meet and outline plans 3 for the celebration.. 1 In commenting upon the meet ing Mr. Tatem said it is very es i sential that every member of the c committee be present, for there is an immense amount of work to be , done for a pageant that should be 5 a great advertisement for the en- tire Albemarle. .

Fight Over Bridge Loca tion Thing of Past as Completion Nears ALL FOR ONE Group Goes on Record As Favoring Free Ferry Service For the moment, anyhow, the en tire Albemarle is as one insofar as the new sound bridge dedicatory cele bration is concerned. _ Delegations from all the counties abutting the 6ound on both shores met in Ply mouth last Thursday, forgot past grievances, smoked the pipe of peace together, and pledged themselves as one harmonious whole with relation to the bridge and all that it implies. And as if to make this all the more gratifying to Chowan and Edenton the conferees, without a dis senting vote, and with a few minor amendments, approved the previously arranged celebration plans worked out by the local Chamber of Com merce, and presented early in the meeting by Secretary J. H. McMullan. ' These plans called for the appoint ment of a general committee of two members each from each of the seven abutting counties, who will confer with the State Highway Commission as to their desires and work in uni son with it, and decide upon a date for the celebration, the place to hold 1 it, and all the other details contingent : upon an affair of this importance. This meeting will be held at Manteo ( j today. Everyone attended the conference in a spirit of good fellowship and good will. No community nor indi vidual carried a chip upon its or his shoulder. Harmony was the keynote ! from the minute the delegates began to gather and it lasted until the end. • It is safe to say no one is going to fuss or fight about the celebration site, and as for the time, this will all depend upon what the highway com mission has to say as to a completion I date. ’ There has been much said about ' July 4th being the time. I It is true the bridge will be about , | done then, but there is no certainty \ \ the highways leading to and from | the span will be in readiness for \ travel for some time after that. I Whether the State body will consider \ it desirable to celebrate the bridge (Continued on Page Three) Edenton High Trips : E.
