North Caro lina, under the Act of March 1 1879. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1912 MM Jj THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: WHAT IS THE GREAT THING?: Again the king dom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field: the which when a man hath found, he hideth, joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and bogetn that field.—Matthew 13:44. No, Not Lagging Though Chowan County has not been included in the daily newspaper tabulations of scrap metal collected for the war effort, The Herald cannot say the county is lagging. Without reservation. The Herald ventures the guess that the scrap metal drive has claimed as much thought and consideration on the part of R. C, Holland, county chairman of the USD A War Board, as the aver age chairman in the State has given it. And, Inci dentally, The Herald isn't afraid to match the persis tency and ability of Mr. Holland to see a good job through with that of any of the other chairmen. Mr. Holland is a farmer and realises the plight of the Chowan County farm people who are busily en gaged in either harvesting their cotton and peanuts or else spending no little time in trying to secure labor. He well knows, too, that if Chowan County is to make an appreciable showing in the collection of scrap metal that the bulk of it must come from the rural sections, where there are tons and tons of it scattered around. At the opportune time Chowan County will conduct an exhaustive drive to gather scrap metal, when it is planned to send a truck to every section of the county. And when, under Mr. Holland** supervision, the cam paign has been completed, The Herald ventures the guess that Chowan County, as in every other venture in the war effort, except failure in reaching one month's quota of war bond sales, will stand well up in the per capita of scrap metal collected. The Herald approves Mr. Holland's idea to put on the campaign at the proper time, outside comment and criticism notwithstanding. In an earlier scrap metal drive the bulk of the material was rounded up in Eden ton and with a collection center established, which will remove from the rainAs of rural people the idea of personal gain on the part of junk dealers, Chowan County will undoubtedly come through with flying colors. In the meantime, folks, if weather continues as it has been the first half of the week, don a raincoat, jump into a pair of boots and gather every piece of available scrap metal and carry it to a convenient place where it can be loaded on a truck when the campaign is launched, publicity or no publicity. We’re helping Uncle Sam, you know. Have No Fear—Be Yourself The following paragraph was not'written by the edi tor of The Herald, but was handed to him by a friend. The article was found on the street, and the author is unknown, but it carries so much food for thought tnat it is a pleasure to pass it on to all Herald readers: "Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and re member what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with alt persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they, too, have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare your selves with others you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, how ever humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of times. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to the virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affec tion. Neither be cynical about life; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly counsel of the years, gracefully surrender the things of youth. Nurture strength, strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.) Many fears are boro of fatigue and loneliness. Be- 1 yond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. [ You are a child of the universe no less than the tre&> 1 and the stars; you have a right to be here. Ana whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with j God whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul, with all its shame, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful, strive to be happy.” Fire Losses Help The Enemy Now that the nation has observed its annual Fire Prevention Week, it might be a good idea for the peo ple of Chowan County to give some thought to a wear f around campaign to prevent fires. Publicity experts tell us that the United States, since Pearl Harbor, has had a fire every two minutes and that the fire loss in war production plants, stock piles and dwellings of war workers in 1942 exceeds 3200,000,000; In a normal year the fire toll is 10,000 lives and one third of a billion dollars in property damage. James M. Landis, Director of the Office of Civilian Defense, points out that *,000,000 pounds of rubber were destroyed in one fire, one-third of the country’s production of magnesium dust in another, 10,009 torn of cork in a third and 3250.000 worth of parachute silk in a fourth. These losses represent mmplrr of irre placeable damage.

Be tint ns it may, it looks as though Mr. Weather Man looks with dis favor upon the carnival here tins week spaadeehi by the Lions Club. Starting Sunday and continuing until Wednesday, and then skies still overcast, there has been almost continual rain. The carnival. therefore, was not only rained out the first three days of £he week, but virtually flooded. If it continues to rain the carnival might add to their amusements by providing a boat ride around the giwmk, or maybe try fishing in that neck of the woods. o Merry Christmas! Nope, the writer hasn't gone nuts nor lost track of the tune.

Here's one who really wishes every boy abroad, as well as those in camps scattered all over the land, a Merry Christmas if such a thing s possible when engaged in preparing to knock of a German, Jap, Italian, or any other snider who would rob us of our freedom. But then maybe knocking off a few of the cut throats would result in as merry a Christinas as one could wish, and here’fe hoping they can do that very thing.. o Gib Perry—he’s the game warden—was showing off 15 pairs of nice quail the other day.

I was asked in a letter from a reader the other day. which went on to say: “Say, have you a minute to spare? Well, then sit right down and write a letter to your soldier friend away. He wants to know what is going on around home. Soldiers rate a letter from home above anything else. They enjoy reading the names of those who are in the next call for induction. Do not put h off anoth er second, if you know a solder, write to him ami let him know everything is in good condition at home and that his friends are thinking of him. Take a few min utes of your time and do this for the soldiers. It would build up his morale."

Lesson Text: Lake 2:49-52: Hebrews [ 5:11-14; U Peter 1:1-18. While growth is natural as long as immaturity continues, the rapidity of that growth depends on whether or not the conditions of growth have been met. It is natural, in a lesson on this subject, that our minds are turned to the growth of the boy Jesus. ! While we know very little of the boy-1 hood of Jesus from the time of his being taken to the Temple by his { parents in his infancy until the time of his visit with his parents at the age of twelve, Luke records that “the I child grew and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him,’* and * “Jesus increased in wisdom and sta ture. and in favor with God and f man." The main point in both of these verses is that Jesus grew as a normal child. While he was God, he was also a man, and in emptying him self. he voluntarily accepted many of the limitations of human flesh. Everyone should seek, in their lives, the ueil-halameed growth that char acterized the life of Jesus; Physical and mental growth and health, and the development of a well-rounded personality will contribute to spirit ual vitality and health. Every thinking person agrees on those things which are necessary to proper physical growth—food, exer cise and rest- Mothers, interested im the welfare of their families, see to it that all of these elements are SK’-'idied im proper proportions. Very often, however, these same mothers are not as interested in seeing that their families develop the other facets of their personalties. They do not encourage the social natures of their, children, nor do they do what they should to see that the spiritual growth keeps up with physical growth. What must we do if we are to i grow spirifoallj, or “Grow in ' 1 Christ?” We should certainly feed | >w souls the oroper s»i ritual food, the Bread of Life, which is the word of God Bible study should have a ; more prominent place in our lives, if are would grow more tike Him. Wet should cultivate the spirit of medita -1 tion. of relaxation when are can let our minds think of God and can lis- j ten to Him. in the guidance of our fives. Such quiet times bring spirit ual renewal and strength to our , souls. We should also exercise our selves in doing the work of the Lord. The sml needs to be fed needs to he guided, and it also needs to use the strength that is gained for the ' Lord and to serve our fellow man. Deter sets a standard for individ ual Christian growth in his second epistle, given for our consideration. His noints are: (11 faith; (21 virtue; (3) knowledge; (4) temperance: (5) patience; (C) godliness; (71 brotherly kindness, and (81 charity, or love. How do vou measure ap by Peter’s standard? Are you n growing Christian, or are voa a Christian like : the writer «f Hebrews had in mind, when he declared (Heh. 5:121 “For M-Bthcmjrtj fyxmi of Christian experience you ought to be retodrf tofid~fond."°(Godbpeed). none of «s can reach perfection, that STted rs tie Chrirttoah hf^bnot Jesus, but the constant movement of his life toward that ideal. “The heavenly journey is measured, not by the number of miles traveled, but by the bright of the mountains climbed."—lvan Panin. Deduction Rate | For AAA Limestone Is Set For County Holland Urges Farmers Place Orders Early As Possible —— j The deduction rate at which farm ; ers of Chowan County may obtain ground limestone from the AAA under the 1943 Agricultural Conser vation Program has been set nt $2.70 j per ton, according to R- C. Holland.' chairman of the County .AAA Com- j mitlee. Rates in 44 other counties already have been approved and vary from 51.30 to 32.55 per ton, depending on freight rate from point of shipment to railroad points in the counties. Six counties have established rates for farm yard delivery which range up to 33 per ton. This limestone, the chairman said, is furnished to farmers by the AAA and costs are deducted from any pay ments due the farmer at the dose of: the program year. Rates include ac tual cost plus transportation charges. “Farmers of Chowan County,”; Chairman Holland said, “will find use of limestone more important than ever before during the coming farm ing year. We won't be able to obtain as much commercial nitrates as we have in the past, and we will need limestone to promote better growth of legumes which will produce nitro gen for use. We also have been ask ed to produce more livestock next year and we will need good pastures to maintain the animals. Use of limestone is necessary to a good pas ture.” The chairman urged farmers to place their orders for limestone un- ; • der the 1913 program as soon as possible to avoid delays caused by i transportation difficulties. He said that farmers of Chowan ; County were furnished 707 tons of limestone under the 1942 program. Final date for orders under the 1942 program was September 30. Mrs. T. J.

LOSES7,6OO m 80 Meet at Briggs’ Store to Hear County Agent! C W. Overman rj Eighty farmers met Wednesday! night of last week at L C Briggs* store, when general farm problems I were discussed by County Agent C. W. Overman. Coming in for a share of the discussion were Farm machin ery, the farm truck situation, chang ing of the AAA year to June 30, and winter legumes. The . seeding of winter legumes was particularly em phasized; first, because of the short age of nitrogen in fertilizers for next I year. The formers were urged tnl grow this nitrogen in winter legumnj crops this winter and, secondly, to reach their soil building goals for the -1942 and 1943 y ear. James M. Price. AAA clerk, dis cussed peanut marketing quotas Aid issued, peanut marketing cards to those present. A check-up shows that there are. 354 farmers in Chowan County who have not carried out a sufficient number of soil buitd'ng practices to earn their special allotment payment under the 1942 program. These 354 farmers stand to lose approximately fiJOO in special allotment payment* this year if the soil building prac tices are not carried out. A letter is being sent to each fanner showing the number of soil building units that he lacks, approximately the amount of his special allotment payment that he will lose if no more practices are carried out during the program year. Every farmer is bring urged to grow winter legumes to add nitrogen to his soil for next year’s crops. W [MR] 1. What is St. Elmo’s fire. 2. Who said, “I have put on nfy old soldier’s coat”? 3.
