Norma Perry And Frances Jordan Win Watches At Campen’s Following a custom of many years standing, Campen’s Jewelry Store again this year awarded two watches, one to a lucky graduate at Edenton High School and the other to a Chowan High School senior. The unique, plan is to place the pictures of students in a circle with a hand of a clock making the round until the click runs down. The hand this year stopped on the picture of Norma Perry at the Edenton school and on that of Frances Jordan at the Chowan High School, and each of these young ladies will receive from the Campen concern a beautiful Gruen watch. The idea every year creates a great deal of interest among the stu dents, as well as their friends as they stop and wonder just where the hand will stop.

Mrs. Alice Gatlin, local supervisor of the project, reports 10,657 free lunches, 5,140 exchange and 19,735 paid lunches served.

Other expenditures were made for glasses, forks and spoons, mops, broom, dish pans and for general ex penses including transportation of surplus commodities from Windsor. A balance of $16.85 is now in the treasury. Patrons and friends of the school feel that Mrs. Gatlin and her helpers should be commended for their effi ciency and the economy evinced by their ability to serve nourishing lunches to so many under-privileged and still, in spite of increases in food prices, net profit on sale of paid lunches for which only 10 cents was charged. In addition to serving good lunches, they have kept the lunch room imma culate and attractive. Potted plants and cut flowers, pretty curtains and other personal touches have lent charm to the room.

Difficult Life Faces Young People Rev. Dale Tells Seniors Dr. H. H addon Dudley Speaker at Closing- Exercise Friday TRYING~TIMES .Speaking before a large congrega tion in the school auditorium Sunday night, the Rev. Frank Cale, preaching the 1942 baccalaureate sermon, told the Edenton graduates that because of the present trying times, gradu ates face a very different life and for that reason it is essential to re member and turn to God in their youth. This, he said, is necessary in order to be properly equipped to meet the trials in later life, so that old age can be enjoyed in the knowl edge of a well-spent and profitable life. “It is so easy now,” said the speaker, “to be tempted and it re quires character and courage to say no and stand true in these vexing days. Sorrow too deep for words is sure to come to each one and you will need the sort of assurance and forti tude which God only can provide to keep front going to pieces morally and spiritually.” During the service several num bers were rendered by a school chorus. The Rev. E. L. Wells offer ed prayer, the Rev. W. C. Benson read the Scripture and the Rev. C. A. Ashby pronounced the benedic tion.

Haddon Dudley, president of Chowan College at Murfreesboro. Both of the remaining exercises are expected to draw capacity houses. “Over Here” Will Be Sung Tonight On Court House Green With apologies to “Over There,” Mrs. Julien Wood has arranged the following “Over Hero,” which will be sung on the Court House Green to night. Johnnie watch the Hun, He’s not done! He’s not done! He has another game, But his aim is the same. And his minions may be found Working with him under ground. Our flag of freedom flies Where he cries all his lies. He gathers up the foes Os our friends as he goes, All their hatreds turned to one For the purpose of the Hun. Refrain: Over here! Over here! Speak the word to be heard Over Here! If our foe is working While we are shirking, The danger’s lurking very near. Make it clear: “Freedom’s dear”! Speak the word to be heard, make it clear! It is spoken! It shan’t be broken! And we won’t let go till he lets go Over Here! The joy of freedom flowers In this land which is ours, Hear the children’s mirth In the fields; by the hearth! Let us guard them, you and me, In the land of liberty. Keep them safe and glad, Our women free from wrong— We belong! We are strong To protect them night and day From the fiends that would betray. Refrain: Dr. Warren Explains ‘Professional Jealousy’ (Continued from Page One) this, I will take up a case of Dr. O. L. Holley: a colored woman who lives at Valhalla Station, N. C. Dr. , O. L. Holley called Mrs. McMullan and reported this case to the Relief Department and asked me to go up to see her, which I did, and from examination I found her suffering with pelvic inflamation (pus tubes, etc.) which I would say about 25 to 50%, not to be exact, are suffering with this trouble. When I got to my office I called Dr. O. L. Holley and told him that I examined this case and suggested treatment for him to follow and told him I couldn’t recom mend this case as an emergency hospital case. In about two weeks I called Dr. Holley and he said that this case was getting along nicely.. The reason I have reported this case to the Commissioners in April was because I thought the Annie Owen, Dr. Williams’ case might come up and the Commissioners might say that I didn’t want to approve Dr. Williams’ cases but approved Dr. O. L. Holley’s case. The cases that I don’t recommend to go to the hos pital I don’t usually report to the Commissioners, but could report three or four cases by name, if ne cessary, of Dr. Williams’ cases. Three I remember he wanted me to .approve to send to the hospital that got better and didn’t have to go. “Mr. D. M. Warren accused me that while my mother was ill that Dr. Williams reported a colored boy, by name Waddell Bond, up the County. Yes, that is so, but his diagnosis was acute appendicitis, but this case was ruptured before it got to Dr. Wil? liams’ office or mine. So it didn’t get to my office in acute stage and that I didn’t hold it up and it rup tured, because Dr. Tayloe said that this was a ruptured, appendix five or six days before Dr. Williams or myself ever saw it. I sent the pa tient to the hospital and he is living and I heard he was working at Eli zabeth City, N. C., in defense work getting about $45.00 per week. “Now I guess I have saved the County $1,000.00, rough estimate, by holding back all the doctors’ pa tients that were not emergency cases and that would pay a County Phy sician’s salary of $25.00 per month a little over three years, which I guess is the smallest salary paid to any county physician in any county in the State. “I realize that in the past all county physicians approved emer gency cases under the Relief Depart ment before going to the hospital, “As I understand it. now the new set up by the County Commissioners is as follows: “If a doctor thinks he has an emer gency case that should go to the hospital under the Relief Depart ment, he is to call Mrs, McMullan and she, Mrs. McMullan, acting head of the Relief Department, is to report the case to the County physician, Dr. Warren, and he examines the case, say for Dr. Williams, and doesn’t agree with Dr. Williams that it is an emergency case. Then Dr. Williams can call up Mrs. McMullan and cry a little and if he cannot get it by Mrs. McMullan then he can call up Mr. D. M. Warren, chairman, and cry a little and tell Mr. D. M. Warren that he doesn’t want to take so much re sponsibility on himself and how about his case going to the hospital. Then, what will happen? Mr. D. M. War ren will have to decide whether I am right or Dr. Williams is right. 1 will admit that Mr. D. M. Warren is a good Chairman of County Commis sioners, but I must say that he is putting right much responsibility on himself now.” 10 New Tire Permits Issued Monday Nig-ht Permits for 10 new tires, 8 tubes and 17 recap tires were issued by the Tire Rationing Board Monday night.
