' _ . THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3. 1944 BIBLE THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: EVERY DAY IS A JUDGMENT DAY: The son of man sliall come in the glory of the father with his angels and then lie shall reward every man according to his works. —Matt. 10:27. Call For Action According to reports of J. G. Dampen, chairman of the Chowan County War Finance Committee, and his assistant chairman, I). M. Warren, Chowan has a long way to go if it expects to meet its 5363,000 Fourth War Loan quota. The drive got off to an encouraging start when 502,000 worth of bonds were sold the first day of the drive, which began January 17, but since that time sales have mounted to only about 5130.000;, leaving 5227,000 more to be sold in the 13 days re maining in the drive—if Chowan is to meet its quota as in previous, campaigns. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the necessity to meet this quota. All on the home front should be willing to make every possible sacrifice, especially when the blood-curdling atrocities of fiendish Japanese have been made known. This, in itself, should be an incen tive to buy all the war bonds possible in order to help bring the Japs to their knees as soon as possible and thus hasten the end of such barbarous treatment of our > boys who are their captives. j America’s fighting forces are making great sacrifices, j come even undergoing untold suffering. They, of , course, are dependent upon the home front for that which is needed to defeat the enemy, and if we fail, what more can be expected of them ? They are only human. Which means that at home large sums of money must be raised to equip our forces and keep them amply supplied to meet the enemy on any terms. Confronted with the necessity of waging two tre mendous wars across vast ocean spaces, the expenses of warfare reach fantastic proportions. It is not too much to expect the patriotic response of the people ox the United States to likewise attain fantastic propor tions. The nation is attempting to borrow fourteen billion dollars from its citizens, which means, of course, that every individual must make a special exertion to support the financial structure of the nation. The expenses of the war will be much more than any amounts that can be secured through taxation, re gardless of how many new levies Congress decides to levy. To balance the books of the nation as a going, solvent concern, it is absolutely necessary that the people lend their money to the government. It is not much to ask the temporary use of some money, with the government paying interest on the loan. In some countries there has been no such pro cedure. The dictatorial governments ruthlessly confis cate property and funds, taking what they need with out regard to the ownership of individuals. It is to prevent just such conditions that all of us should buy as many bonds as we possibly can. USO Open House Without doubt, the Edenton USO Club is the most frequented place in Edenton and, unless one visits the Club, little is known of what is going on except to see many service boys and gjrls going in and out. In order the better to acquaint the public with its activities and services, the Edenton USO Club, to gether with the 2,800 USO Clubs in the nation, will ob serve open house Saturday and Sunday, at which time anyone interested is invited to go in, look around and get a first-hand impression of what is going on. Monthly attendance at USO Clubs and lounges is over 30,000,000, so the popularity of these centers cannot be questioned. A splendid job is being done in providing comfort and recreation for service ' men and women, and by taking advantage of the observance of open house the presence of the local USO Club will be more appreciated. Open House will be exactly what the words imply, and Director Abe Martin and his assistant, Mrs. Sue Hall, will be delighted to meet many of the towns people and show them around the attractive but crowd ed quarters. Job Well Done Chowan County is to be congratulated for the splen did response in the Infantile Paralysis campaign, hav ing broken all previous records in contributing $1,251.05 all of which came in short order by individual contribu tions. The generous response on the part of those solicited reflects the interest on the part of contributors in the welfare of a large number of youngsters who as a result will be able to wear a smile despite their un fortunate circumstances. At the same time, and prob ably more important, Chowan contributors can have some satisfaction in knowing that a portion of their money will go toward the support of well-organized scientific research work in laboratories in an effort to fathom infantile paralysis and looking to the time when the germ can be identified and a cure or preven tive found. There is one beacon shining brightly and bravely along the dark path to freedom from this mysterious disease. The money contributed generously by a free people to the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly sis was responsible for the fact that the organization was better prepared for an epidemic in 1943 than ever before. Research and treatment goes on unceasingly THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1944 7 lIEARD and SEEM 1 B, -BUFF- 4.X j The following, taken from a pamphlet of the Railway Mail Service, is very timely, especially in view of the fact that Chowan County appears to be lagging in its Fourth War Loan quota: THE MAN WITHOUT A PLEDGE Is there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself has said, “I’ll buy a Stamp, or buy a Bond To help the boys across the Pond To sink a Sub, or slap a Jap And help to bring them safely back.” If such there be, in years to come Shall tell his memories to his young: Across the sea a million fought, On this side many milli. n.- bought. .With a hundred friends of mine in Camp, i didn’t buy a single Stamp. :.rd to toil whether Miss Luciiie Clark or myself is the happier*.n« the result of Chou an County's reconi in the Infantile Paralysis drive. My hat’s off to nti as a splendid co-worker, for at the outset when 1 ex-j pressed Some doubt of meeting the quota, much less ' topping last year's figures, she was the source of quite J a bit of encouragement when she time and again remark- j ed, “We’ll make the quota or bust.” Well, the quota Was raised and more than doubled, so here’s my thanks to all who in any way had a part in it, either canvasser or contributor. O This paragraph should have appeared last week for it has to do with my going to the N. U. Press meeting. Because of having no more gasoline in my car than a scent, together with a dead battery, I had to carry my suitcase down town. On the way, Bill Everett, Geoige i funny and a few other guys, asked to lift my suit case, and when they did, they remarked, “Shucks, vou re not going to a convention —it’s not heavy enougi. ■ Yeah, I didn’t leave until a few hours later. ——o And if I can keep my hat off long enough without catching cold, 1 want to doff it to little Lyn Perry, who is in the first grade. I had something to say about him last week, but the youngster wasn’t altogetner ! satisfied and started out again with his box on which j was pasted the words “Infantile Paralysis.” He was a 1 happy chap when he went back to his teacher, Miss i Fanny Sue Sayers, and proudly dumped out $4.65 more. But then, it’s possibly just such persistence on the part of all the canvassers that resulted in such a splendid contribution, Many of us have noticed the little white dog which hops around on three feet. Well, he’s quite a commu ter, for the way I get it, he goes back and forth to the U. S, Marine Corps Air Station every day. The dog, so the story goes, hangs around at Burton’s corner until he finds a good chance to jump on a truck, and upon arriving at the base makes his usual rounds. When he finishes, he goes to the gate where he waits for another car or truck to bring him home. The dog is a privileged character, too, for he goes in and out of the base without a pass. O And speaking of dogs, “Arithmetic” showed up at the USO Club the other day. He’s also another dog “navigating” on three legs and though quarters were set up for him sometime ago at the USO Club, the scudder abandoned his home to live with the gals out at the base. Well, who blames him? o H. A. Brickhouse had the misfortune to lose his home in the Gum Pond section last week, which is the fifth time his home has been destroyed. It was enough to discourage anyone, but apparently, he’s getting used to it, for he was in a splendid frame of mind when I saw him early this week. In a conversation with him, he advanced a slogan which he said could supplant “Make the World Safe for Democracy.” Mr. Brick- : house's slogan is "Make the Earth Safe for Truth and j Justice,” which if done, Would take care of the. one; we'Ve been hearing. Every week I receive letters from boys in the service, only last week one coming from one of Edenton’s col ored boys, Golden Frinks, who is stationed in Persia. Os course, as in letters from other boys, he expressed no little pleasure at receiving The Herald, which is also enjoyed by other boys with him. Young Frinks says he’s seen many places spoken of in the Bible, including Danieii’s tomb and where the Garden of Eden is sup posed to have been located. Anyway, here’s one who is glad to know that what efforts are put forth to get out a good paper are appreciated by those who are away from home and it will not be long ,iow before all of ’em will have an opportunity to lead The Herald, thanks to the directors of the Bank of Edenton, Just in case you haven’t attended to it, only three more days remain to list property with the tax super visor—that is, unless you do not mind being penalized for failure to list on time. Five days extension was granted, for listing was supposed to have been done In January, but there’ll be no more extension. ■ O And while speaking of duties to perform, income re turns must be figured and sent in before March ,15. It doesn’t take long for the deadline to creep up, so you might as well start now to scratch your head, bite on a few pencils and, if you’re a cussing person, do a little of that, too, to unravel a gang of figures to find out it you’re due to pay an income tax, and if so arrange to borrow money with which to pay the tax man. o W. I. Cozzens has vacated his store on the corner of Broad and King Streets, and the building is now being renovated to provide new quarters for the police. What I’m wondering is what will be done about the show windows, or will that be a place to park the drunks? Anyway, when the place is fixed up there will be more room for the Edenton cops, highway patrolmen and the shore patrol. Wonder if they’ll stage a feed in con nection with the opening of this new home? and helps many victims in their often hopeless and painful battle against the dread scourge. Chowan, therefore, may well be proud that it has contributed more than double what it was asked in this worthy cause. New England Couple Married In Edenton Methodist Church The Edenton Methodist Church pro vided a beautiful setting for a wed ding Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock, when Miss Barbara E. Shaw became the bride of Staff Sergeant Dean B. Jennings, who is stationed at the U. S. Marine Corps Air Station here. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Shaw, of Middleboro, Mass., and Staff Sergeant is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry | Jennings, of Brockton, Mass. The wedding had previously been planned to take place in Massachu setts, but was obliged to ne aban doned when the bridegroom was transferred with very little notice. The Rev. H. F, Surratt, pastor of the church, officiated, and for the occa sion the church had been beautifully decorated by the ladies of the Wom en's Society of Christian Education. The decorations included evergreens and white tapers. The double ring | ceremony was used, and nuptial ! music was rendered by Mrs. J. J. I Ross, church organist. The bride [was given in marriage by Lieutenant ■ Blackburn. The bride is a graduate of the class of 1939 of Middleboro High School and has been holding a secre tarial position in Middleboro. For her wedding she wore a white satin gown, made princess style with sweetheart neckline of aplique lace and long train. Her full-length veil fell from a coronet of seed pearls.' She carried a shower bouquet of red ! roses and white tube roses.; Mrs. Eleanor Falconieri, sister of the bridegroom, was matron of honor and wore a dress of blue silk with a quilted bolero. Her bonnet was of blue velvet. First Lieutenant George A. Volfe was best man. The mothers of the contracting parties were here for the wedding, which was very impressive with friends of the couple in the Marine Corps attending in their attractive . uniforms. . Following the ceremony, a steak supper was served for the wedding party at Hotel Joseph Hewes, after which the newlyweds left for a brief wedding trip. They will reside at Windsor until living quarters can be; secured in Edenton. j Leathernecks Trim Colerain 48 To 23 __ Marine Leathernecks had littla difficulty in chalking up their third successive victory Monday night when they ran roughshod over the Colerain All-Stars in the Edenton Armory by a score of 48-23. The local outfit took an early lead which was maintained throughout the game, the score at half-time being 21-13. Ensign Gaines, coach of the Leath- j ernecks, was high scorer, making! eight field goals and one free shotJ He was followed by Lieut. Bass with 10 points, Lieut. Sellers with 8, and Lieut. Bell with 6. For the visitors Mustain led in scoring with 14 points to his credit. The game was played after thej high school completed a double header with Hertford. Chowan Cotton Ginning Still Trailing Last Year Chowan County is still trailing last ! i year in the matter of cotton ginning, according to F. W. Hobbs, special agent for the Bureau of the Census. According to Mr. Hobbs’ report, 5,224 bales of cotton were ginned in the county from the crop of 1943, prior to January 16. This compares I with 5,712 bales at the same time last year from the 1942 crop, or a decrease of 488 bales. Mrs. Cheshire Breaks Hip In Fall Tuesday Mrs. R. F. Cheshire met with an' 'unfortunate accident Tuesday as the' result of which she suffered a broken j hip. Mrs. Cheshire had just left a! dentist’s office in the Citizens Bank Building, and as she was leaving the building, she tripped on a door mat at the entrance and fell violently to the sidewalk. She was taken to the Elizabeth City hospital, where she was success fully operated on and on Wednesday was reported as getting along as well as could be expected. Men Little Interested In Family Planning In Enterprise community five farm ers cooperated in meeting with their wives for a discussion of “Team work” in farm and family planning for 1944. Meetings of this nature scheduled for other communities re sulted in women attendance with no men present. Notice of meetings was* sent jointly to the home demon stration club members and their hus bands from the county and home agents, and the county agent also personally signed letters to each man in the groups. The problem is to arouse the men to a realization that such meetings are very important and beneficial to both men and women.
