THIS W EEK’sThBLE THOUGHT LET l'S GIVE THANKS: Thou erownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.—Psalm 85:11. Time Well Spent Roads, or lack of good roads, is often reason for some heated arguments which lead, in some cases, to a degree of unpleasantness, so that it is gratify ing to know how much consideration and spirit of unanimity prevailed last Friday when Merrill Ev ans, highway commissioner, and T. J. McKim, di vision engineer, accompanied a group of ChowaD men throughout the county to study road prob lems. W. VV. Byrum, spokesman for the county group, told the highway officials, after a number of roads had been visited, that it was not the purpose of Chowan County to be unreasonable, which brought from the commissioner and engineer the comment that every- request, in their estimation, was war ranted and that they thought it would be granted. The tour was just about the best thing ever done in way of securing improved roads in Chowan County, for an argument could easily have devel oped had the various projects been presented in a meeting or otherwise discussed. Agreement of the highway officials to accom pany the local group on the tour reflects their in terest in the county and the reaction tends to point to realization of improvements just as soon as la bor and equipment becomes available. The time was well spent, and Chowan will no doubt be beriefitted. Not Exactly Santa Claus Very seldom anyone gets anything for nothing ■ these days, but that is exactly what happened * Tuesday night when R. C. Holland, representing the Beaver Hill Cemetery Corporation and Bea- • ver Hill Cemetery Association, offered 10 to i: i acres comprising Beaver Hill Cemetery to the town with the only provision of the gift being that j the town properly maintain the cemetery. It might be well to mention the fact that the Beaver Hill Cemetery Corporation is comprised of a comparatively few people who hold title (o the land, while the Beaver Hill Cemetery Association is another small group of women who organized in the intero: of keeping the cemetery in a pre sentable condition The latter group readily agreed to Mr Holland'' offer, in fact they- hav. carried the burden so ..long that they have decided to throw in the towel, Mr. Holland, in; hissre irks - lid he pra.i tic ally had t - issur met f here would be no hold-up on the part of those people PHONE IS7-J TRUCK FOR HIRE —— ALSO - SAND AND DIRT FOR SALE MOVING Day or Night Service : Earl Jones i 106 Oakum Street EDENTON, N. C. Lady’s Stomach Was Like A Gas Factory; Meals Turned To Gas One lady said recently that her stomach used to be like a “gas fac tory!” That is, when she ate a meal it seemed to turn right into gas. She was always bloated, had awful stom ach; gas pains, daily headaches, and constant irregular bowel action. Now, however, this lady says she is FREE of JSTOMACH GAS and she says the change is due to'taking INNER-AID. Hes meals agree with her. No gas or bleht after eating. Headaches and constipation are gone. “Oh! what re lief!" states this lady. “Why don’t otbfar gas and constipation sufferers gef INNER-AID?” INNER-AID contains 12 Great Hefbs; they cleanse bowels, clear gat frqjn stomach, act on sluggish liver ans kidneys.

It was a close shave to get The Herald out this week, for we yvere robbed of just about a solid day of typesetting on the very day when most of the type is set each week. Several months ago a new Intertype machine was installed with which a latest type heating unit was ordered. The| equipment didn’t arrive with the new machine. | but came a few weeks later, and on Tuesday j Richard H. Henneley, an Intertype erector, and j Frank Giles, Intertype salesman, dropped in to nstall the new equipment. Because of this fact, j eery little type could be set Tuesday and, despite . working until i o’clock Wednesday morning, type did not come from the machine until noon Wed nesday. The delay caused holding up a story about Town Council's meeting, one of the most | important in many months, as well as several j other timely stories. But then such things hap-j pen in a newspaper office, and I expect folks in! other kinds of business also have their troubles.! Anyway, I'm about fagged out and feel lucky that we have as much news as we have this week., Captain Dick Hall was looking down and out the other day and I asked him if he wasn't feel-* ing well. He said he was. but felt bad about his wife, who met with an accident. Mrs. Hall at-[ tempted to cut off the head of a chicken with an | axe and instead of hitting the chicken’s neck, she, hit a finger, cutting it to such an extent that four stitches were necessary to close the wound. Cap'n. Dick didn't say if he had chicken for dinner or not. . ■■ ■ • . o I What! Is Chowan County going to fall down! on the Red Cross drive? It would be a calamity.} for that’s one drive which never appeared to have \ any trouble in reaching the quota. Don’t let old j Chowan fail now when there i< so much for the j Red. Cross to do. Fork up! holding legal title. Os course, the Town Councilmen agreed to ac cept the gift, for even if the cemetery is not with in the city limits, it is felt that it in reality is an important part of the town. The Town will, therefore, accept the gift when the deed is deliv ered. which is expected to go into effect April i : From that date, if there is no hitch in plans, the j town will have charge of the sale of lots and up i keep as well as adopting a future policy of ceme ; tery affairs. W. M. Wilkins was appointed as '•cemetery custodian if and when the town takes control of ! the cemetery. The cemetery, like other town property, should be kept in an attractive appearance and under dr. Wilkins' direction, it is believed this can be accomplished more easily than the -handful of women who have worked, worried and finally were made: happy when they learned the town would relieve them of the burden. The cemetery will be a ezift, but it will add re sponsibilities .to the municipal government, and if revenue! is not sufficient it will, of-course, mean.' that provision will have to be made in the budget to .take care of any'expense: which is a- it .should be.

Robert Lee Humber Speaker At Rotary i Presents His Idea of World Federation to Maintain Peace Robert Lee Humber of Greenville j j spoke to the Edenton Rotary Club last Thursday, his remarks being [ lan explanation of his idea of a | World Federation which, in his; | opinion, would preserve peace in thej ' world. It was Mr. Humber’s second appearance before the Rotary Club, having spoken four or five years ago, when his idea was in its in | fancy. Now, however, state after, state has endorsed his plan so that j at present 14 states have endorsed, his method of preventing future j wars. j Mr. Humber stated that resolu-1 tions, pacts and treaties are not I strong enough to prevent wars, cit-, | ing a few of many which have failed, j jßy his World Federation plan, anyj • person or group of persons guilty I of instigating a war would be dealt j 1 with as a criminal is now dealt with j lin a city, county or state. With in-j i ternational law-courts established,i jhe said, individuals who turn inter national gangsters could be arrested , and punished as individuals without j disturbing the life of their fellow i citizens or implicating their nation I in. their crime, and in that way | stamp out international crime at its - inception before its poison is spread ! throughout an entire community. The speaker referred to the awful [nes's of a third world war if it mater ializes, saying that about two-thirds j of the human race, could be vaporiz -lod in a few seconds by use of the! i atomic bomb. j “Either we will now banish war, or war will banish civilization,” said | Mr. Humber in closing. Mr. Humber’s address struck a | very responsive chord with thei Rotarians and many of them re mained after the meeting to hear; further discussion of the idea. ,;■ ■ ' . METHODIST SERVICES , Preaching service will be held in | the Methodist Church Sunday morn ing at 11 o’clock, when the pastor, the Rev. H. F. Surratt, will preach on the subject. “On Common Ground.” Church. School will be held at 9:45 ; ■'clock Sunday morning and the Youth Fellowship, meeting will be held at 8:30 P. M. A feature of this meeting will be a play by the young, people. You aren’t getting machinery, Mr. Farmer, because... PICKET LINES have taken this place of PRODUCTION LINES! ...so don’t blame your Implement Dealer! Your implement dealer had planned and expected to have his display floor filled with new implements and tractors weeks ago. And te had planned to make them—had told our dealers and our farmer customers they would have new equipment and plenty of service parts for the 1946 spring work. And we had hoped to sell these ma chines at no advance in price. Real Production Had Started When the war ended, our organization bent every effort tc increase production, with the result that in the last montlis of 1945 ma chinery was being built in very substantial quantities. Here are a few figures: PRODUCTION ITEM NOV. 1945 DEC. 1945 Tractors .7,271 7,432 Combines 2,345 2,526 Cultivo£irs ....3,482 3,308 Hay Lcpftrs 209 982 ♦Plows 6,185* 6,702* ♦Plows «r« mad* in ovr Canton and Chattanooga Works, which ora not on strike. January production wos 7,747 plows. Both your dealer and we were encouraged by tips production picture at the turn of the year. But tfee strike changed all that. As you know, the Cl£) United Farm Equipment & Metal Workers of America called a strike in ten of our plants, on January 21,1946. Wlrat Is Ths Strike About? Wages an a basic issue. At the time of the strike, Harvester employes wen among the highest paid workers in American industry. When the strike began, the average hourly ■ INTERNATIONAL 111 HARVESTER Funeral Monday For Mrs. Marion Shepard f Funeral services for Mrs. Marion Bowden Shepard were held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Monday afternoon. Mrs. Shepard, 82 years old, died Saturday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William Rosevear, at Greensboro. The Rev. Fred Drane of Monroe assisted the Rev. Harold Gilmer in the final rites, | with interment being made in the • churchyard. j Mrs. Shepard, wife of the late Thomas Harrison Shepard of Eden- was born in Brunswick County,, Va. She resided at Edenton for many years, but moved to Greens-, boro 11 years ago to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. Rosevear. j Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Rosevear of Greensboro; three sons, j William Shepard of Edenton, Thom as Shepard of Washington, D. C„| . and Robert Bowden Shepard of i Raleigh; and five grandchildren. Shakespeare Artist At Colored School i | Jack Rank, dramatist, protean j artist and playwright, will present j Shakespeare’s greatest farce comedy, j “The Taming of the Shrew”, a stage | play, Friday, March 22, at 8 o’clock at the colored high school. Mr. Rank's appearance is sponsored by the English and Dramatics Depart ment of the school. Mr. Rank has the reputation of being the only actor in America who presents an entire play, himself, portraying all the parts, male as • well as female, in gorgeous authentic j costumes and effective dramatization.; Mr. Rank is a graduate of the . University of Nebraska and later taught dramatics there. Eight Broadway plays to his credit since University graduation, have given him a solid noteworthy background. Full symphony orchestral music ! is used in connection with the various scenes.

If present wage pro posals are adopted, this figure will become $1.3314 per hour. When the strike began, negotiations were broken off by the Union on the issue of com pulsory union membership. The Company has no desire to weaken the Union. It recog nizes certain reasonable needs of the Union. But the Company does oppose compulsory unionism. It feels strongly that an em ploye’s membership should be a matter of his own choice. Material Costs and Price Relief Wages and materials are the great costs of operating our business—together they con sume all but a few cents of every dollar the Company takes in. Wages are obviously going to be high—and nobody knows just how high material costs will go. In the face of rising costs of materials, the Company does not see how it can pay the wage increases recommended by a Govern ment fact finding board until it has definite and satisfactory assurance from the Govern ment that reasonable price relief will be granted to the Company within a reasonable period of time. This matter is of such im portance that it will not be discussed here, but will be covered by future advertisements devoted to both prices and profit*. Speaking for our dealers and ourselves, we can assure you that no customer is mors eager then we are to resume production. We are doing and shall continue to do everything in our power to bring about a fair settlement as soon as possible. Final Tryouts For Sword Drill Sunday At Baptist Church Final tryouts for the Intermediate Sword Drill will be held at the Bap | tist Church Sunday evening at 6:15 ' o’clock.
