All Should Help Though reports are far from complete, J. A. Moore, chairman of Chowan County’s March of Dimes cam paign, gave out the information Tuesday that approxi mately half of the $1,420 quota had been reached and that he had observed that contributions were running somewhat below last year, which if maintained in re maining reports means that the county this year will just about reach the quota. Last year, when the largest contribution was made to fight infantile paralysis, Chowan County’s contribu tions amounted to $1,858.22. and it was Mr. Moore’s hope that this year contributions would reach the $2,000 mark. He has every reason to set that mark, for surely Chowan County people have not forgotten the recent epidemic which, though Chowan Was spared, made many children its victims. But for the fact that financial aid was available, many more of those afflicted children would have died. It should be of interest to Chowan people to know that during the epidemic the Chowan County chapter transferred SSOO of its funds to state funds in order to speed treatment for children in other counties. No person knows if or when infantile paralysis will break out, nor where it will strike, so that Chowan County is just as liable to be the victim as any other section of the State. For that reason our people should be willing to make a substantial contribution in order to be prepared to cope with any situation which may arise. No time can be lost to raise money when the disease strikes, so that it is far better to be prepared than to be sorry when it is too late. Chowan County can very easily and should contribute $2,090 during the March of Dimes drive. That amount can be raised without anyone making a sacrifice. It is a settled fact that many have been missed by the can vassers, but this should not be any reason to fail to make a contribution, for Mr. Moore, W. H. Gardner, the writer and even the canvassers themselves will gladly receive any contribution. No one should hide behind the fact that they have not been solicit' d in not making a contribution. Canvassers, and Mr. Moore are contributing generously of their time and efforts in the drive, and it is Chowan County’s drive, not theirs, so that every person in the county shares in the responsibility of not only reaching the quota, but raising , the $2,000 which Mr. Moore set as a goal. If you have not made a contribution, do so at once, It. is not too late.- Worth Considering Edenton has its parking problems,, but other towns also have similar situations as is reflected in a story appearing in last week’s issue of the Wallace Enterprise. Wallace, considerably smaller than Edenton, plans to install parking meters in the two main business blocks about the middle of February in an effort to help the parking problem. “The principal reason for installation of the meters,” says Mayor J. Aubrey Harrell, “is not to penalize any body but to more evenly distribute the privilege of parking in the crowded business blocks of W’allace.” It is interesting to note that at least one identical rea son contributes to parking conditions in Wallace as here in Edenton. Mayor Harrell in announcing installation Announcing The Opening OF Lula White’s Flower Shop 203 West Church Street EDENTON, N.

By “Buff” The writer, together with Max Campbell of Hertford and Bill Manning of Williamston attended the State press meeting in Chapel Hill over the week-end. While a small town editor has his troubles and worries and frets at times, it is some consolation to learn at such j meetings that just about the whole she-bang have about the same things to contend with. Os course, the usual I crop of jokes were “harvested” during the meeting, but ' I’m not putting ’em in print. It might not be out of the way, however, to tell about one of the editors near the end of the meeting. As a group entered the hotel ele vator, the elevator girl asked, “Going down ?” At once the newspaper guy replied, “No, I’m already ‘down’.” I've a crow to pick with Lena Jones. She is publicity chairman for the Edenton Parent Teacher Association and, of course, is supposed to let me know about the meetings. Well just about every month Mrs. J. Clarence Leary, the president, calls me up at about press time to see if a notice has been received. The same thing hap pened this week and because everything in the paper is filled up except two columns, Mrs. Leary wants to re mind PTA members that a meeting will be held next Tuesday afternoon at 3:20 o’clock at the school. Oh, boy, things are getting like old times. Early this week Guy Hobbs was parading around town with a smile from ear to ear and tucked under his arm was a box of cigars. He was handing out the cigars, too, for on Monday lie became the daddy of a bouncing boy. It so happens that Mr. Guy Hobbs, Jr., was born on exactly the same day that five years ago his sister put in an appearance; This circumstance has its advantages and disadvantages, for it will mean two birthday presents at the same time, but on the other hand one birthday party will fill tlie bill. And talking about new daddies, Jack Mooney became the daddy of another daughter Tuesday night. Well, Jack, I've already smoked Guy’s cigar, or is it a case like 1 lzzy Campen—waiting until a boy is added to the family? An interesting letter was received this week from Chaplain D. O. Diggs, former pastor of Kadesh A. M. E. Zion church, who was recently awarded the Bronze Star. In commenting upon the award Captain Diggs said, “though I feel a sense of humble pride trekking through my soul, I also feel a sense of littleness creeping over, me as I think of the more noble deeds and tremendous 1 , and even supreme sacrifices of other great souls of Edenton and Chowan County. Now that this greatest and most dreadful of all wars is ended, may we all turn to God in true devotion and reverence in that many of us ; ' were spared to see the end, and may we devote our ener- j gy in the future to the solemn task of preserving the peace for which our comrades died so that they shall not have died in vain.” of meters, said shoppers in Wallace are now compelled to park their cars on back streets and back lots because, most of the parking space on Main Street is crowded with ears belonging to local business men and their employees. Some of the cars are now parked at these spots from 9 in the morning until 6 o’clock in the after noon, according to Mayor Harrell, which deprives shop pers of these parking spaces. A recent check in Edenton's business section showed that 22 parking spaces were utilized by merchants and their employees, which, of course, meant that that many visiting cars had to find less convenient plans to park. For the past few years business has been good and merchants could sell about all the merchandise they ro,:!d secure, but time has been and in all probability will be again when merchants will welcome prospective ■customers coming into their places of business. For that reason .every ’ effort should be made to attract out-of town .business, and one way is to provide parking facili ties. It will be easier to attract business later on if some consideration is given now when business is brisk, than to try to get business after potential customers have chosen and become adapted to other points to do their trading. Incidentally, a parking meter salesman recently con- ; tacted Mayor Leroy Haskett relative to installing park ing meters in Edenton and if merchants feel that they \ are a nuisance, some thought should be given by the merchants themselves to using fewer of the choice park- j ing spaces in the business section.
