THURSDAY’, JUNE 7, 1945 ~~~~ THItTwEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT COMMENCEMENT DAY—And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. —Num. 13:30. All Together, Folks If Chowan County is to reach its E bond quota in the Seventh War Loan, there will necessarily have to be more spirited purchasing of these bonds, for the drive is scheduled to end June do. t p to Tuesday night Chowan 'County people's investments lit the E bonds stood at $81,300, which leaves 859,700 more to meet the $141,000 j quota. That those who are really making a sacrifice in this war have their eyes on w hat we at home are doing is re- , fleeted in a letter received by The lierald a short time | igo from Lindsay E. Harrell, which was written in tier- | many. “1 receive The Herald and appreciate it,” wrote the I Chowan County boy, "for I am very much interested to 1 find out a little of what is going on back home. 1 have noticed that our county goes over its quota whenever a war loan drive, a Red Cross drive or any other etl'ort for a worthy cause is on. I rejoice in that. 1 am glad that our people back there are backing us soldiers up in such away.” Young Harrell goes on to say that a bigger and more important question confronting us is how much we are backing up the cause of Christ, which is a timely ques tion to ask, but the point is that not only this young man but, safe to say, every Chowan County boy in the armed forces has his eye on what those of us on the home front are doing for the war effort. Chow an County can ill afford to fail in this war bond drive. We owe it to our brave and gallant young men so meet not only the overall quota, but also, the E bond quota, which will prove that many and not a lew are ; willing to invest what we can in helping to end the war as soon as possible. Chowan County people can meet its E bond quota. It ! is not at all impossible if alt will do their share. Come j on. folks,, let's meet the E bond quota and thus cause our boys to sense a feeling of pride that they come from a ' county where the people are willing to back them up in whatever they need to do a good job. Let them read in . The Herald ''Chowan Meets Its Quota." If It Must, It Must Nut a single member of the Chovvan County Commis sioners can be accused of wanting to spend taxpayers' "\ money foolishly, and each one of them, without any doubt, would like to see the 1945-43 tax rate remain un- : changed or even lowered. But there ure times when money must be spent, and one of such times faces the !. Commissioners at present. They have, been virtually forced to build a new jail, for time and again recommendations have been present- ; ed by grand juries relative to adequate jail facilities, and frankly it is to be wondered why they have not beer, called before some Superior Court judge to explain why something has not been done. Then the Commissioners are faced with a problem tip county v. i .('. unless a place is provided for teachers, to live, it v.i 1 be next to impossible to provide a faculty at, Chow an Rig' iii-t.i, s : at it is absolutely neces sary to e.' t a teacherage; Both of the projects will THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... Q , "j TOM: "It’s mighty nice to receive a com pliment like you’ve just given us, Judge. We do take our responsibilities very seriously, and try to do the right thing with every- ! body. In spite of it, we get criticized now and then.” j OLD JUDGE: "I know... you’ve got to take the bitter with the sweet in times like ■ these. Speaking of criticism, and I mean really unfair criticism, reminds me of the spirit beverage business.” FRANK: “How is that, Judge?” j' | Heard & Seen | By “Buff” j j ' What sort of weather is this we’ve been having lately? One time it is so bloomin’ hot that I crawl into a pair of summer breeches and the very next day a sweater and winter pants don’t feel bad at all. ■ _——o- •. And speaking about the weather, my friend Miss Lena , Jones and a few other school inarms spent a recent week-end at Virginia Beach and, of course, went bath- | irvg in the Atlantic. But upon her return Lena declared the water was so cold that the next time she went she intended to carry along a fur-lined bathing suit. There’s one good thing about so many folks fishing these days, and 1 found that out Saturday afternoon. ! While away up the creek the bloomin’ motor knocked off) and definitely made up its mind not to run. Well, it j wasn’t long until Edmund Schwarze came breezing down j the creek in his boat and, of course, Henry Gardner, Frank Hughes and I didn’t have to thumb very long be fore he saw the predicament we were in and towed us to the landing. It’s good in that instance that We didn't have the creek to ourslves. How many fish? I’m not a-snyin'. Ask Henry and Frank. And then talking about fishing, my friend Chief J. A. ! Clenney out at the base, says he found a good place j where lie caught 40 the other day. 1 hurriedly asked how many fishermen there were, first because if he' | caught that many himself, I’d do my best to find out j what hole he was fishing in, and in the second place, it i might be well for Gib Perry (he’s the game warden, | Chief) to know that three were in the party. » Leon Halsey is what 1 call a very accommodating fel low, for last week the stork came to his home. His ; daughter wanted a little sister and one of the sons’ wanted a brother, so that Leon settled the whole argu meat by "ordering” twins, a boy and a girl. Then an-| other reason advanced by Leon ought to advertise some , if his productive feeds, for he claims he’s been sniffling | some of the feeds he has in his store—and look at the | results, (No charge for that ad, Leon). o Yeah, and then take Jimmy Partin. After having [ two sweet little girls, the stork paid a visit to his home the other day and left a bouncing baby boy.

Then another problem pertains to purchasing a plot of, } g'rofind: adjoining the school for both present and future l j ievelo: meat of the school, so that if these things are \ ■ iloiie, it is almost a certainty that the tax rate will have i i to be increased. It. was a w ise remark one of the Commissioners made i v hen he said it costs him more to operate his farm than t did several years ago and that the same is true of i every business, of which the County is no exception. The above-mentioned improvements are necessary ana 1 he Herald feels that the Commissioners should not be subject to criticism if the tax rate is boosted. It is a 1 settled fact that, they will do everything possible to hold it-down, but if Chowan County is to show any progress . the paramount purpose cannot be to maintain a tax rate which does not bring in enough revenue to do anything, and Tie Herald believes that a vast majority of tax : payers have the same opinion. OLD JUDGE: "Simply this...can you think of any other business in which the 6eller is responsible for what the buyer does with his merchandise? If a person eats too much cake and gets indigestion, the baker isn’t blamed. Nor is the coffee merchant criticized if someone drinks too much coffee and can’t sleep. But the seller of spirit bev • i erages gets blamed plenty if one of his cus tomers overindulges. Doesn’t seem quite fair, does it, Tom?” TOM: "Frankly, it doesn’t, Judge. We’ve never looked at it that way before.” This advertisement sponsored by Conference of Alcoholic Beterate Industries. Inc. THI CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1945. Melvin Evans Wins Campen’s War Bond Melvin Evans, a member of the Chowan High School graduating j class, was the winner of a $25 war bond given by Campen’s Jewelers.; The winner was decided by a “clock” ' In the window with pictures of each member of the class taking the place of the hour numerals. The hand stopped on the picture of young Ev ans, who was given the bond. The j concern before the war gave watches as a prize, but due to the scarcity of ; watches they were abandoned. The “clock” is now running and j when it stops it will decide the win ner of a $25 war bond for one of the ; members of the Edenton High School i graduating class.
