Your Duty To Vote
According to reports coming from those who have
traveled over the entire First District in connection
with the forthcoming primary election, there is » very
noticeable lack of interest in the election, the opinion
being advanced that voters generally are more con
cerned with the present war and war conditions than
they are with politics. The Herald would not cntic.se
anyone for being vitally interested in the war bu a
the same time, the placing of men m offices of public
trust is of no account to be entirely ignored. It is a
duty and a privilege still enjoyed, but which surely will
pass away if America does not win the war, and there
fore should be exercised next Saturday by every voter
who can possibly go to the polls. True, it is what Is
termed an off-year, when there is no Governor or
President to be elected, but just the same, as much care,
and even more, should be taken in filling minor offices
closer at home.
Unlike some newspaper editors, The Herald editor
frankly admits he doesn’t know who will be elected
next Saturday. And to be a little more frank, those
who make such cocksure predictions that Herberv
Bonner, for instance, will win the Congressional race
without the necessity of a second primary are merely
tooting their own horn for their favorite candidate,
and in so many words, are only expressing the hope
that such will be the case.
The result of the election will not be determined un
til the votes are counted, and when any one man pre
tends to know how the majority of voters will cast
their ballots in an area as large as the First District,
well, it just isn’t so, and few people can be fooled into
believing that it is so.
While The Herald has been impartial to the candi
dates in the election so far as the news columns are
concerned, it is no secret that the editorial policy nas
been in opposition to Herbert Bonner and for reasons
heretofore made known. And further, whether Bonner
is elected, or if it’s Marvin Blount or Jack Edwards,
The Herald will be just as eager to praise, just as ready
to criticise, and even willing to make a request in tne
interest of Chowan County irrespective of who the
Congressman may be.
Chowan County is, or at least should be, a part of the
First District at other than the particular time to seek
votes.
Maybe Too Hasty
It is not at all surprising for The Independent of
Elizabeth City to find reasons for not voting for Her
bert Leary, who is a candidate for the State Senate.
The last reason advanced for opposing Mr. Leary is the
argument that he was present at roll call only a lew
more than 50 per cent, of the times he was called upon
to record his vote.
The Independent editor admits in his editorial that
his information was secured after a rather hasty per
sual of the Senate Journal for the 1041 session of trie
General Assembly, which may have been why he over-

JACK EDWARDS has strong support in all the 14 counties of the I
District. He is well qualified for the office. He is a war veteran. 1
He has proven by his stand in the State Legislature that he is a I
friend of the masses of the people.
JACK EDWARDS does not have to abuse and insult his opponents, i
He fights fairly. He is conducting his campaign on his merit as a I

The Chowan Trio, composed of Mrs. Gordon Blow,
Miss Maybelle Edwards and Miss Louise Wilson, did
themselves proud at the Great Council meeting of Red
Men in Elizabeth City last week. The gals were at
their best and won the admiration of the largest au
dience they ever sang to. Though the trio has been
asked to sing at an increasing number of affairs, It now
looks as though the group will be busted up. Miss
Maybelle Edwards, who for eight years has taught at
Chowan High School, has resigned to accept a teaming
position in Virginia, and therefore, will be unable to take
her part in the trio. So that unless a third member
can be securetf to take Miss Edwards’ place, tne trio
has about sung itself out.

Elsewhere in this issue appears a poem which was
, written by Mrs. Julien Wood during the first World
War at the request of the Authors Committee. It was
written to stimulate sale of Liberty Bonds, which, with
only a few changes, is reprinted in the interest of
Defense Bonds which we are all expected to buy. And
incidentally a poem written by Mrs. Wood a few weeks
s ago should have carried an explanation to be better
i appreciated. The poem was written after the World
■ War when it became apparent that the Germans were
l oeginning a propaganda campaign, leading to another
• attempt to rule the world.

: j Here’s one who hasn’t had time to go fishing Since
; i the season opened last week, but already the fish
stories are going the rounds. Quite an odd story is at
the expense of the Rev. Frank Gale. The way I got it,
[ he and Rodney Harrell were trying their luck and while
oozing along in a boat, they spied several large schools
of small fish and because bait is bait, the'preacher o«-
1 cided he would stab into the schools with a net as they
were moving along. He waited for a good chance ana,
1 all of a sudden scooped down, but upon raising the net
from the water he lost his equilibrium or inertia or
sumpin’ for he suddenly squatted into an open fishing
tackle box. When he got to his feet the seat of his
breeches was “decorated” with all sorts of artificial
baits. In fact, it was necessary to cut some of ’em
from the goods. I’m just wondering if it was necessary
for him to walk home backwards.
o-
And speaking about fishing, Sheriff Bunch says
there are only 11 days of good fishing during the year.
But the bad part of it all is that you are supposed to
go every day in order to find out what days these are.
o
Mrs. Elton Forehand lost a hair bracelet which may
not appear very valuable to the finder, but is cherished
by Mrs. Forehand. It is a family heirloom and ror that
reason a price cannot be placed upon it. So that if
anyone finds it she will be a lot happier than she has
been since she discovered its loss.
o
Preacher Wells sent a letter the other day from
, Fort Worth, Texas, saying he had just returned from
San Antonio and planned to spend a few days at Min
eral Well before returning to Edenton. At the bottom
of the letter in quotations appeared “The season is
open.” Gosh dam, is that guy fishing down in Texas,
too?
looked the particularly outstanding part Mr. Leary
took during the session. If newspaper articles and
general state-wide comment mean anything, Mr. Leary
was undoubtedly one of the outstanding Senators dur
ing the session, and if the work he did was done in
half the time, The Independent ought to be willing to
admit that Chowan’s candidate is an exceptional
Senator, indeed.
Another argument against Leary is that he relin
quished his 'right to the office when he withdrew from
the Congressional race to be a candidate for re-election.
It would have been interesting to know what sort of
arguments would have been concocted by the Elizabeth
City newspapers to use against Mr. Leary had he re
mained a candidate for Congress.

Information from the War Price
and Ration Board is to the effect
that about 50 pick-up trucks that
will probably not receive any new
tires in several months, may be is
sued certificates for retreads, as it
appears at present that few, if any,
new tires for this purpose will be is
sued in the future.
The Board also has announced
that each consumer holding a War
Ration Book shall be entitled to ad
ditional amounts of sugar, not to ex
ceed five pounds, per year, for use

to the Board upon OPA Form No.

This form is available at the local
office.
Duties of the Board are rapidly
mounting and for this reason, cou
pled with inadequate office space,
lack of equipment and clerical help,
members of the Board respectfully
ask that the secretary, Miss Willie

Because of the accumulation of so
much work, the Board has decided to

Thursday at 12 o’clock noon in order
