THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1045 THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT INTIMATE FRIENDSHIP: Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer: thou shalt cry. and he shall say. Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the ringer, and speaking vanity.-s-Isa’. 58:0. I i\l iracle Necessary Miracles have happened and if Chowan Coun ty is to reach its E bond quota in the \'ictory Loan drive, little short of a miracle must occur. Early this week T. C. Byrum and \V. H. Gard ner, co-chairmen of Chowan County's War Fi nance Committee, reported E. bond sales at $35,- 000. The quota for the county is $85,000. so that we are $50,000 short of the goal. The drive closed officially on Saturday, but according to State head qurters all sales reported through December 51 will be applied toward the quota. If only $35,000 worth of E bonds were pur chased during the entire drive, it is doubtful if $50,000 more will be sold during the few more days remaining in December. However, that amount of money in Chowan County could easily be applied to FI bonds. Chowan County has in the past performed little short of miracles, so that it is altogether possible that another one will take place. It can if our people realize the great need of money by our government and at the same time have a desire to maintain a clean slate in war ef forts. This is the last war loan and it would be a credit if it could prevent falling down in the final drive. You Should Be There Recently information was more or less broad cast throughout the county relative to tuberculosis conditions in Chowan County and as a result more people should be acquainted with a condition that calls for action. In order to further acquaint our people with existing conditions and make an ef fort to organize an association to systematically combat the disease a mass meeting is scheduled to be held tonight (Thursday) in the Court House. Present at the meeting will be a representative of the State Tuberculosis Association, who should be of considerable aid in getting an organization in that the association is acquainted with similar con ditions throughout the State and should be in posi tion to give advice regarding organizing a local association as well as what has been accomplished in other counties of the State in curbing the di sease. As has been said time and time again, tuber culosis is no respector of persons and nobody knows whose home it will invade next. W ith so many positive cases discovered recently in the schools where children mingle, as well as other cases which have developed out of the school, there should be a general uprising of our people to remedy conditions. The first step in this direction should develop tonight at the Court House where the mass meeting will be held and it behooves all who are interested in a healthier and safer place in which to live to attend by offering their moral sup port. The meeting will begin at 8 o’clock and The Flerald urges readers to make every effort to at tend as well as spreading the word among friends. Worth Considering Town Councilmen on Tuesday night briefly considered some arrangement whereby town em ployees, who have given the greater portion of their lives to working for the town, would share in some sort of retirement pay. At present town employers have no social security nor any as surance that when they grow too old to be able to perform their duties they will have some sort of income during their declining years when they will be unable to secure other employment. To be sure, there are precious few employees of the Town who receive enough salary to lay away any appreciable amount for a “rainy day.” Os course, at this late date in the year no pro vision is made in the budget to pay any amount to ward retirement, but the Councilmen, generally, were impressed with the idea and to dismiss the matter, it was suggested that some consideration be given when the next budget is made up. If an employee serves any organization faith fully for a great many years, that employee should be due some consideration when he is no longer able to perform the regular duties, and the Town of Edenton should be no exception. The Finance Committee should make a note of the matter, so that it is not forgotten when the time comes. THI CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N, C., THURSDAY. DECEMBER 13, 1945 I Heard & Seen By “Buff” Sure advertising in The Herald brings results, and John M. Elliott at the Byrum Hardware Company will , vouch for it. Last week the concern advertised that Duo- Therm fuel oil heaters were now “available” and as a result the store at times was in an uproar by customers coining in to purchase one. As a matter of fact the stoves are now available, but up to early this week none had arrived, but quite a few orders are on hand for the things when they do come in. Then take Henry Gard ner at the Bank of Edenton. I asked him about adver tising the 194!' Christmas Saving Club, but he turned me down. "\Ve have only a limited number of books again this year,” he said, "and if I put an ad in The Herald the bank will: be'flooded with folks trying to join the club and having to be refused.” Which is another way of say ing that those who want to join next year’s club had better do it right away or else. Edenton’s firemen now have a new truck of which they are very proud. Os course, Cap’n. Dick Hall is vital ly interested in adequate fire fighting equipment, but just the same more or less of a sense of regret is reflect ed in the fact that the old Reo is no longer parked in 1 the fire station. The old truck has a warm spot in Cap’n, Dick’s heart and if he gets half a chance he’ll still argue the merits of the thing. He, too, is proud of the new truck, but still he cannot go back on the Reo. o I E. T. Rawlinson told me the latter part of last week that he had already delivered two Christmas greeting cards and appeared in rather good spirits about it. “Why are you so glad that you have already delivered a few cards?” 1 asked him. With a squint of his eye, E. T. re plied, "Well, that's two less I'll have to tote later on.” O Being street commissioner was a strenous job this week, for the department lost a very valuable man when E. L. Hollowell died and coupled with his loss, Frank Hughes was flat on his back since, Friday. On Tuesday a delegation from Farmville came over to see the town’s j pick-up sweeper and grading machine work, but with no one on hand to demonstrate, I had to give a lecture. And ( can't folks connected with a town ask a gang of ques tions, sometimes? o Sheriff J. A. Bunch registered a complaint Wednes day morning which has to do with shooting guns up Pembroke Creek. Earl Jones who lives along the creek, 1 has children about his premises who sometimes wander in the field, and with bullets fired promiscuously in the; neighborhood, he is constantly in fear that one of them i will be shot. For that reason, any who go up the creek hunting or just on a shooting spree are urged to exer cise care so that no accident occurs. o Yep, Christmas cards are coming in and among the first ones received was from a friend in Raleigh. How many of us read all of the reading on cards about this time of year? I happened to read this one, however, ■ which is as follows: The Lord gave ug two ends— One to sit on. The other to think with A man's success depends On which end he uses most. It's a case of Heads you Win Or Tails you Lose. Take your choice. o Salesmen sometimes hand out good advice despite the fact that they are sometimes a bloomin' nuisance. One of the latter type called on me the other day and when no interest in his line was shown, he branched off on the weather. Too busy at the time, I gave little encourage ment to the subject, when he finally said, ‘‘Well, the weather is the most discussed subject with the least done about it.” <) The Herald is getting somewhat back to normal in j hat last week Vernon Barrow returned to work after serving about four years in the U. S. Navy. Barrow was the first employee The Herald lost due to the war and now that he’s about gotten over the habit of riding on a rocking ship, he’s getting back to his old form in the back shop. And incidentally the writer’s son, Lance, also ‘graduated” from the Navy and was tickling an Inter type keyboard this week in order to get back in trim as a typesetter. He has not yet decided where he will work, but he’s been a great relief when yours truly is putting up a fight against the flu. o No wonder it’s cold the last few days, for in the mail this week was a letter addressed: “To Santa Claus, North Pole.” It was written by Edward Williams, who asked Santa to bring a cap pistol for Christmas and five rolls of caps. “Dear Santa Claus, that’s all,” was the | windup of the letter and that order ought not be hardj to fill. Town councilmen sweated (or almost did) over the; problem of furnishing an office for Miss Willie Love j Morgan and what remains of the Chowan County Ra tion Board. At the outset of rationing several years ago, the Board used the Council Chamber, but business picked up so much and there was so much confusion that town 1 employees had a hard time doing their work. It was for j that reason that there was some hesitatancy in turning over the Council Chamber to the Ration Board. How ever, it was a case of providing office space or allow ing all rationing matters to be transacted through the Elizabeth City office. It was a case of furnish an office or else and Town Councilmen decided not to else. How ever, those having business with the Ration Board are requested to go about it as quietly as possible so as not! to disturb town employers who have a dickens of a job sometimes juggling figures. o Attention is called to any who desire to place a Christmas greeting in The Herald next week. Copy must be in the office by Tuesday noon of next week. The fol lowing week The Herald is scheduled to appear not later I than Monday, so that news and advertising must be in ' hand by Saturday. Moving up a few days is for the pur -1 pose of enjoying a few days over the Christmas holidays. ° ' Just as this column is being finished Mrs. Hazel Gibbs informed me that practically all stores would be closed Tuesday and Wednesday of Christmas week. Next > Thursday stores will remain open until 9 o'clock each evening for Christmas shoppers. Inglis Fletcher Speaker Friday ll For Raleigh Club 1 Local Author Will Speak On “Adventures In Research” Mrs. Inglis Fletcher; Chowan Coun . tv’s author, is scheduled to be the' , principal speaker at a luncheon meet- 1 t ing of the Department of Literature of the Woman's Club at Raleigh, Fri day afternoon at 1 o’clock. ’I Mrs. Fletcher’s subject will be “Ad ‘ ventures In Research,” based on her 1 experiences in collecting material for her colorful romances not only in Ra- 1 leigh and Eastern North Carolina, but ) on travels to many other places where records were to be found. Mrs. Fletcher is best known to North Carolinians for her novels, “Raleigh’s ' Eden,” “Lusty Wind for Carolina,” 1 and “Men of Albemarle,” but she also 1 lias written two books on African life,; I “The White Leopard” and “Red Jas-j I mine.” In collecting materials for these she traveled in interior Africa! in areas no white woman had ever be-1 'fore visited, accompanied only by a! : safari of 40 natives. Her first book ; was on Alaska. Her interest in North Carolina his tory is due to her North Carolina an-1 . cestry. She is the namesake and di-| root descendant of Capt. Andrew In glis, aide to General Washington at Valley Forge. Rhoda Chapman, one of the characters in her latest novel,, i, “Men of Albemarle,” was another an-1 eestor. Before beginning this series of novels, Mrs. Fletcher's home was in , California, where her husband has had, ! a position during the war in an air-j plane plant. They now own and live at Bandon! , in upper Chowan county. 4-H Clubs Observe Achievement Day Continued From Page One ■ i ~ Elliott, Miss Helen Lindsley, Ged-j | des Potter, Emmett Hail and M.
