Tennis Courts Now Ready For Those Who Want To Play Work Completed This Week By Street De partment THREE COURTS Hope Is That Enough Will Play to Make Ef fort Worth While After meeting with one handicap after another, the town’s tennis courts are finally ready for use, Street Department employees having put on the finishing touches early this week. Though in previous years, one court accommodated practically all who cared to play tennis, all three courts have been put in playing con dition in the expectation that this year many more people will want to play. The courts were in bad shape due to lack Os attention, the wire and timber in the backstops had rotted, the courts were covered with a thick growth of grass, so that J. Edwin Bufflap, Street Commissioner, de cided that the courts should be put to Use or else abandoned all to gether. However, earlier this sum mer quite a few wives of officers and enlisted men at the Marine Corps Air Station appealed for a place to play tennis in order to break the monotony of being shut up in one room or two, and service men and women, too, expressed a desire to play, therefore, it was decided to' make the necessary repairs and put the courts in playing condition. They are now ready and it is hoped enough tennis fans will use them to make the effort of the Street Department and the expense involved worth while. Several inquiries have been re courts will be ready for use, so It ceived from the base as to when the is expected very soon that the courts, located near the Armory, will be as popular as they were ser’eral years ago when quite a number of people enjoyed the recreation at al most all times of the day. Grass growing on the courts has been the biggest worry to those get ting them in shape, and though cal cium chloride has been used, it is expected that if used enough, the grass problem will be less of a prooiem. Air Station Eligible To Get Navy Relief The Marine Corps Air Station has been provided a branch of the Haifip- I ton Roads Auxiliary Navy Relief, the | purpose of which is to be of -service j to dependents of men and women in the U. S. Navy, Marine Corps ami i Coast Guard, Chaplain George Wheeler will | handle requests for help. ' THE CHOWAN HERALft A HOME NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO TEE INTERESTS OF CHOWAN COUNTY W. J. Taylor Named I Chairman Chowan War Fund Drive j .i County’s Quota This Year Expected to Be i About $6,000 - | W. J. Taylor, superintendent of county schools, has been appointed chairman of Chowan County’s War j Fund drive, which will get under. | way early in October. Mr. Taylor, ■j on Monday, attended a meeting in j i Elizabeth City, where objectives of the War Eund were outlined by Chester A. Kerr, State director, to 1 chairmen and leaders of 13 north eastern counties. Chowan’s quota this year will no doubt exceed last year’s amount,! when the quota was $5,0(10. Mr. j Taylor said the county will, no doubt, be asked to raise $6,000 this •ear. At the Elizabeth City meeting Mr. Kerr said the aim in North Carolina is to raise $3,500,000, of which amount $1,350,000 will remain in the State for local purposes. As was the case last year, the I drive will be a joint effort to raise funds for various agencies in con- j | nectioh with war activities, which Will eliminate separate ‘drives, each | activity being allocated a certain! • ercentage. It will again include a contribution for Boy Scout work. Mr. Taylor is now .digesting the information received it Monday’s j meeting and plans to have Chowan’s organization ready for the campaign when it is launched. i " - Jm ■Lpf *.4- * jjnßHllHflHk.

In some instances trash j is put out Saturday afternoon, after” the trash truck has passed, and as a result remains on the street over; Sunday, thus presenting anything but a tidy appearance and this has caused many complaints. The Street Department has for its goal collecting trash all over the lefty I once a day, except in the business section, where two collections are made, and it is obvious that some sort of schedule must be followed if; this service is to be maintained, i The amount of trash and garbage in | Edenton has increased many fold, ; and with the same amount of equip-! ment as has been used for many j years, it is quite a job to cover the entire town every day. In fact, the I town trucks are badly worn, having; been in use three years and one Is j especially often in the garage forj repairs. Application has been made j for a certificate to purchase a new| truck, but no action has been taken t thus far, therefore, actually Edenton :■ seriously, faces the possibility or trash collection only even other ' j day, the east side bile day and the | west side the other. I here are some people who realize | ne burden on the Street Department and cooperate splendidly by putting put trash on time and take in their receptacles alter they are emptied. However, there are others, who have no regard whatever as t«. when the trash js collected, putting trash out at their own convenience, which many times is blown around by wind or scattered by dogs, I he situation has been called to the attention of Mayor Leroy Haskett and J. Edwin Bufflap, Street Com missioner. both of whom are very I anxious to have a neat and tidy I town and who realize that it is folly j to expect town employees to collect j trash whenever it suits the conven j ienre of housewives. In this connection, Mayor Haskett ! had, this to say: “Again. I wish to call to the af j tention ot Edenton citizens the im '• portance of cooperation in main taining a clean town, from the very i smallest family to the larger ones, ; I find that in several sections of j town people put out trash after the ’rash truck has passed and, in some instances, some people are cleaning up their premises over the week-end 'and just before night, or after 'night, ! : mi, this trash on (lie street, which j causes a very unsightly street and yard. “1 am appealing to every citizen toj be good enough to check and find out about what time the town’s trash truck is supposed; to he in their I neighborhood and to have trash out on time and also to take in the re ceptacle after it is emptied. “I also find that there are a few who are not cleaning their lots and premises at their places of business and some are putting garbage in open containers, thus making it easy for the wind to blow it about or dogs to scatter it, which results in a dirty neighborhood. Please refrain from doing this, for I know that you v.xvnt vour town to be neat and clean. I know that with your cooperation, the Street Department will be able to do a better job and I trust that you will do your part in making Edenton a cleaner town. “As Mayor of Edenton, I beg for your cooperation in this matter, wNch has reached a point where it ! ;s a target for criticism.” Os course, it is impossible to set any fixed time to be at any one per son’s house, but the following sche- i dole is carried out as far as possible ‘he Street Department: Trash is collected in the business, '•eetinn, beginning at 8 o’clock each morning, and at 5 o’clock everv as- \ (--upon except Saturday, when the 5, '’clock collection is not made, but the j business section is again cleaned up -fter tv stores close Saturday night. At 8"30 each morning, the trash I ‘n>ck begins at Broad and Church J Streets, making collections on the, west side of town in the following | m-der: West Church Street, Moselv Street from Church to Blount, West (Continued on Page Six' I This newspaper it drew- I jgW - iimlAM I I i J er 1 eai Evangelist I • J ‘VsS*- ijg'" Jjt ■ F.
