A Thankless Job It isn’t unusual to hear complaints and criticism directed at members of the Chowan War Price and Ration Board, and undoubtedly the same is true of the majority of boards. Which is reason to remind us ail that these are very unusual and uncertain times during which we all are requested to undergo inconveniences and in some cases hardships. After all, generally speaking, these boards have aone a great job in handling the vexing task of rationing. Moreover, some of those who complain and in some ] cases almost rave would most likely be ashamed of themselves if they were fully acquainted with the story of rationing, how it started from scratch and is develop ing into a piece of work which is proving an inestimable contribution to the war effort. Thfere isn’t a member of the local board who really wants the job, and were it not for the urge of patriotic duty, The Herald hasn’t the least doubt but that every one of them would be tickled pink to resign, and at this very minute. It is a thankless job, one which involves, 1 a lot of time and study, and even then the only re- > muneration is more times than not only harsh words 1 from those they are trying to help. To put up with all the work, worry', trouble and criticism on behalf of 1 their country which is at war is what the writer terms a spirit of patriotism of the first order. On the front lines, a man expects to be shot at, but remarks often times hurled at members of the Ration Board, who are only trying to perform their patriotic duty, pierce deeper anil cause more pain than a shot or stab from the hands of an enemy. If the people at heme would make up their minds that their job is to back up rationing boards and in stead of throwing obstacles in the way, offer construc tive suggestions, they would themselves be performing a more patriotic duty. Look ’Em Over That Chowan County can be depended upon to come across in fine shape when patriotism is involved, has again been shown in connection with the organization of a Home Guard Unit. After getting the approval ana financial support of both town and county officials, it was only a matter of presenting the opportunity to en list in order to secure enough signatures to form a company. At a meeting Friday night Lloyd E. Griffin, who has been commissioned captain of the outfit, used no flow ery language in explaining the duties of the outfit. “1 hope we will not be called upon to spill any blood,” he said, “but this is a man’s organization, and u you’re afraid, do not join.” That Chowan has men of courage, as well as possess ing a feeling of patriotism, was reflected in the fact that practically every eligible candidate present filed up to the front and affixed his signature as a candidate. Forty-nine had signed up to the time The Herald - went to press Wednesday afternoon, and there are still others who have expressed a desire to join, but who for one reason or another have not signed up. No doubt these will be at the Armory Friday night when actual enlistment will be made. When the idea of a Home Guard was first presented, the general feeling was that it would be a good thing for the county, providing the proper person headed the organization, and the personnel included high calibre men. The Herald does not hesitate to say that both of these requisites have been complied with. Lloyd Griffin will without doubt be a commanding officer who will command the respect of every man under him and his calibre of leadership will add dignity to the unit. And on the other hand, those who have signified their intention of joining represent a first class cross section of the county’s citizenship and a group of men whose purpose and integrity cannot be questioned. Here’s hoping the services of the Chowan County Home Guard will never be needed, but if they are, the writer is one who is willing to predict that whatever emergency may arise will be handled properly and in tse best interest of all concerned. Not Out On Limb In saying that R. C. Holland would do a first-class job with Chowan’s scrap metal drive, The Herald had little fear of going out on a limb, for it was no secret that Chairman Holland had devoted plenty of thought to the proper handling of this county’s efforts and that when the time arrived which would bring the best re sults, he would be found not lacking. Though Mr. Holland reports 140,000 pounds collected up to Wednesday, this amount principally represents what has been collected by school children. Os course, the school children will play no small part in the drive, but Mr. Holland is convinced that thousands and thous ands of pounds of scrap is lying idly about the country - aide which will bolster the poundage during the final two weeks all-out effort, the date of which has nat J»t been determined. That Mr Holland has not been lagging is reflected owners from one end of thd county to the other who promised to haul at least one kind of scrap if called upon to do so. Mr. Holland has also made a survey of the county and has discovered that there is plenty of scrap metal available, which with the services of tho county. t ’ —— * _ f -r *rr •~ - - -'V- .

With peer nuts and cotton already damaged by rata* showers -« agam the writer of the day to begin the week. Many farmers already complain that practically all eC are peanut vines will he imiEt for hay and that the grammes are moulding and sprouting. The rain, too, has gr*r ually torn cotton from the bolls, so that the yae44 has been greatly reduced in many instances. It now appears I as though firming this year is what Sherman said war was. It’s very encouraging when meeting the boys ww are now in the armed forces while home oa a visit as they almost without exception say, “Buff, 1 sure enjoj The Herald. 1 hope i don't miss a single issue.* Here'S hoping that not a single issue goes astray, and tire paper now has quite a wide circulation, going » section of the globe.

Parson Ashby, who now lives in St. Augustine, Florida, has recovered enough to drop me the following note: . “See you have your fishing eye skinned, and want to I say that here is the land of fishing. Where fish are fish, and then some. In Lake Santa Maria, which is the front yard of the two places l bought yesterday, by actual count made by as truthful a fisherman as Carroll Kramer or K. B. Davis, there were caught 999 black bass, 4,597 red bass, 4J28 trout, *U*5 drum, €.743 whiting, &KS9t)> mullet, and oth%r kinds too numerous to mention. One bass, which seemed t» he the largest, weighed T 4 pounds. You catch alt of these fish with the same bait. “The surf-fishing, for the ocean is near by, and (.11 just sent Dossey Pruden a dipping to show Prudto, of the she-males that infest that beach. They are looters from way back. He and John Graham would take in much, and then would not get it alii and there they are catching everything from has, red, white and bine; jack, parr, zingel, chimera, dab, poyp, loads, brill, i cahalot, cod, flounder, growler, haddack, mango-fish, plaice, pout, rorqual, sprat, hoitiwilfish, mackerel, lump-; fish, namaycush. perch, hack, physeter turbot weaver, saury, gwiniaii, hake, beluga, manatee, gudgeon, and so on. I understand that the catches are better than usual. Just remember that 1 ant here, and that you, and any and all other fishermen, i. Macs, and such are more than welcome. “Then come, my friend, forget your foes, atari leave your fears behind, “And wander forth to try your Buck, with cTreerfui, quiet mind.” Heck, who wants to fish where they catch ail those kinds of fis!st, for I’d have a devil of a time deciding what kind of fish 1 landed and couldn't even pronounce the name of the thing if I knew what it was. Anyway,; if live bait doesn’t soon stop dying hereabouts all tike local fishemen will have to go to other places » try their luck.. ®—— Edenton’s Boy Scouts made what can wed be termed' a sacrifice when at their meeting Friday night they 1 voted to turn the cannon which miorned the front lawn : over to the scrap drive. The youngsters pulled the can non down to the school’s scrap heap. It wasn’t a very j pleasant job. but the boys feel that they have done a good turn for their Uncle Sam. * _ j —, q There’s not a soul in The Herald office but who likes! children, but of late the little rascals are developing into a bloomin’ nuisance. They crave scrap paper and rush into the office in a steady stream almost every day in search of small pieces of waste paper. The Herald, like every other place, is handicapped by lack as help and the children rushing in gnd out, yelling and arguing because there’s no paper here sometimes, and being obliged to chase ’em out at times for tear they aright get caught in the moving machinery, having to rinse the door after Tern and the like greatly disrupts a small crew trying to get some work dona. The HesaM s glad to give this waste paper to the hoys and girts. but hereafter messing with them will be confined to Fridays only. That’s my day to go fishing, so that the rest: of the crew will have to put up with the youngsters. • Marvin Wilson is now a “Jutes.* That’s what Mayer Jack MrMullan called him after he was appointod % ! the County Commissioners to fulfill Judge John V.
