Mrs. W. t Given
Speaker At PTA
3,324 Meals Served In
Lunch Room During
February
Mrs. W. E. Givens was the princi
pal speaker at the Parent-Teacher
Association meeting Tuesday after
noon, when she delighted her listen
ers with an address on “Memory As a
. Storehouse.” At the outset Mrs.
P Given praised the beauty and hospi
tality of Edenton, and said she is
now a devotee of the old town and
that her sojourn here is very en
joyable.
“Parents and teachers are synon
ymous,” she said, “one being equally
as important as the other in bringing
up children. Memory as a store
house begins in childhood and chil
dren should have something to draw
from, so that it is the duty of par
ents and teachers to furnish material'
for this storehouse.”
Mrs. Given said that people who
are bored have no resources to draw
from, and that this comes about due
to lack of seed sown in minds in
early years. She also emphasized
the importance of trying to leave a
good impression when making con
tacts.
The speaker told of the progress of
a P. T. A. in Glasgow which started
because of a desire of one child to
have his mother meet his teacner.
Others followed and as a result, the
organization was formed has
done a wonderful work. She closed
her remarks with a quotation by Dr.
Harry Emerson Fosdick: “He shall
have great faith to live by, great
aim to strive for, great resources to
draw from.”
Mrs. Given was introduced by Mrs.
W. D. Pruden.
During the meeting Mrs. Charlie
Morgan, lunch room chairman, re
ported that 3,324 lunches were served
in February, of which 1,113 were
free. The daily average of lunches
served was 168. She reported a
$17.25 contribution from the Red
Men, and also informed the group
that the salary of two workers had
been raised from $5 to $7 per week.
Mrs. John F. White, president, an
nounced that the delegate to the
State convention will be appointed at
the next meeting. She named Miss
Lena Jones, Mrs. Earl Goodwin and
Mrs. H. A. Campen as a nominating
committee.
Four new members, Mrs. John M.
P Elliott, Mrs. J. S. Carr, Mrs. S. W.
Carr and Mrs. Ernest J. Ward, and
several visitors were welcomed.
Mrs. R. N. Hines, hospitality chair
man, was in charge of the social
hour, during which tea was prepared
and served by home economic stu
dents under the direction of Miss
Josephine Grant, teacher.
That Natftfiiv? I
Backache|
May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life with its hurry and worry,
irregular habits, improper eating and
drinking—its risk of exposure and infec
tion—throws heavy strain on the work
of the kidneys. They are apt to become
over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling—feel constantly
tired, nervous, ail worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
Try Doan's Pills. Doan’s help the
kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
century of public approval. Are recom
mended by grateful users everywhere.

THE CHOWAN HERA EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1943
Deputy Sheriff To
Replace Constables
Salary Supplemented By
ABC Law Enforce
ment Fund
Without the services of a constable
in the rural sections for about two
years, the County Commissioners on
Monday agreed to remedy the situa
tion by authorizing Sheriff J. A.
Bu,nch to appoint a deputy sheriff in
the Cross Roads section. For two
years it has been practically imposs
ible to secure a man who would agree
to serve as constable due to the re
muneration, which coming from fees,
will hardly pay expenses.
Under the new arrangement, how
ever, the deputy sheriff, who is ap
pointed, will receive a supplement
from the Chowan County ABC
Board’s law enforcement fund, and
it is expected that this will be
enough to warrant acceptance of the
appointment. The appointment will
be made by Sheriff Bunch, subject to
the approval of the County Commis
sioners.
As to the size of the supplement,
no figure was arrived at Monday, but
Chairman D. M. Warren of the Com
missioners, and R. P. Badham of the
ABC Board, will decide on the amount
before an appointment is made.

Course Is Scheduled To
Plan Food Conservation
Methods of canning, home-drying
[ of fruits and vegetables, preservation
j by salting or brining and home food
storage will be discussed at meetings
to be held in Edenton March 16 and
17, when Miss Martha Smith will
speak to teachers on the first day
and the public on the second day.
Miss Smith comes in the interest of
the food conservation program of
the office of civilian defense. The
place of demonstration and the time
I will be announced later.
Ml
Application Made Use
Short Wave Radio Sets
The Rev. W. C. Benson, chief of
communications of the Chowan Coun
ty Civilian Defense Council, has spent
no little time in perfecting his set-up
■ in the county’s defense program, and
on Monday appeared before the Coun
ty Commissioners asking them to
execute an application to operate
short wave transmitters. The Chow
an County Council has two short
wave sets, but so strict are the regu
lations governing the operation of
such sets that it is necessary for the
county governing body to request the
application.
The Commissioners readily agreed
to execute the application, and when
it is accepted by the Federal authori
ties, Mr. Benson will be ready to
operate his outfits in case of any
emergency in the county or even dur
ing test blackouts.
Dedication Week Will
Terminate Sunday
With a special service held Wed
nesday night and one scheduled for
Friday night, the climax to the obser
vance of Dedication Week in the
Methodist Church will occur next
Sunday when a .communion service
will be held and the sermon by the
Rev. W. C. Benson, pastor, will be
appropriate for the occasion.
Every member of the congregation
is urged to attend the remaining ser
vices and visitors are cordially in
ivited.

people’s quota and $69 is the colored
quota.
This plap was heartily approved by
all present and was unanimously
adopted as a work sheet for the drive,
it being the opinion that each com
munity will now be more vitally in
terested in raising its quota tha,n to
contribute unsystematically to the
fund.
Mr. Berryman is now contacting
chairmen for the various townships
and is hopeful that efficient workers
can be secured to make the canvass
as soon as possible after the drive
starts next week. He has, however,
already secured the services of Mrs.
Percy Smith, who will serve as
chairman of the Second Township.
Both Mr. Berryman and Mrs. J. N.
Pruden, chairman of the Chowan
Chapter, realize that the county’s
goal of $4,200 presents a challenge,
but both feel optimistic that Chowan
County people will rally to the sup
port of this organization whose ser
vices cannot be valued in merely
