THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT THERE IS HOPE WHILE THERE IS LIFE: Where fore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make in tercession for them. —Heb. 7:25. , It’s Time To Speak Out Irked by the condition of many dirt roads in Chowan, the County Commissioners on Monday decided to make an effort to secure immediate relief and subsequently passed a resolution calling upon highway officials to take some steps to relieve unnecessary road hardships. High way Commissioner Merrill Evans has been taken over some of these and knows their condition and has, himself, admitted that in some instances conditions are deplorable and that he hopes something will soon be done. A copy of the resolution, appearing elsewhere in this issue of The Herald, has been sent to both Mr. Evans and A. H. Graham, chairman of the State Highway Com mission. Armed with the resolution, Mr. Evans should have a better argument to get some work done, to which Chowan County is entitled. The Commissioners did well in framing the resolu tion, for all too often we sit complacently, waiting for something to be done when, as a matter of fact, “the kitten which does the most crying is the one which usu ally gets the most milk.” Serious Thought Necessary It will be voted that the directors of proposed Chowan County Hospital have recommended Hicks Field as a site for the hospital and have requested W. W. Byrum, chairman of the County Commissioners, to call a meet ing of the groups which have it in their power to fin ally choose the site. The directors have considered sev eral sites, but after consideration have recommended Hicks Field. A meeting has been called for Monday, June 3, at 2 o'clock in the Court House when the County Commis sioners, Town Councilmen, members of the Board of Public Works and the doctors will consider the recom mendation. It is no secret that there are many people who think Hicks Field is the logical place for a hospi tal, while there are also many who vigorously oppose the site. The meeting will be open to the public, so that obviously there will be those present who favor the hos pital directors’ recommendations, as well as those who are opposed. At a previous meeting no little opposition developed when Hicks Field was proposed as the hospital site, and there is no reason to believe that the attitude of those objecting has changed. It is another one of those propositions in which it is absolutely impossible to please everybody. There are, however, many contributors to the hos pital fund, each of whom has an interest in the hos pital and its location. In view of the disagreement over a site, would it not be advisable to adopt a more democratic method in its selection? Would it not be a good idea to list the sites which are available, to gether with the cost, and send to every person who has made a contribution a ballot on which his or her choice can be registered, and then adopt the site which is agreeable to the largest number of contributors? Selection of a site is very, very important and a very long range view should be adopted in making a final decision. To be sure, the directors have had a difficult problem on their hands, and in making their recom mendation the same problem is passed on to the four Penelope Barker Hotel For Sale To Highest Bidder Due to the fact that we plan in the very near future to begin construction of our new store building in Eden ton, we are offering for sale to the highest bidder the present Penelope Barker Hotel building.

C., THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1946. > > Heard & Seen By “Buff” ■ - - ——* Chief of Police George Dail meets up with a lot of problems, but he now has one in which he is enlisting the aid of parents. He says there are about 15 or 20 young sters who have air rifles and as the result lights are broken and other damage done. In one instance one boy shot another boy the other day. Os course, Chief Dai I does not want to interfere with pleasure of our young ! sters, but he is appealing to parents to keep the boys off the streets with their rifles. —o- j Members of Chowan County’s home demonstration clubs are contributing cans of food for the relief of starving millions in war-torn countries. Os course, they’ll do a good job of it, but they’re not selfish and will ap preciate any contributions from those not members and even folks living in town. Give ’em a lift. —,—- —o —' ■■■: ■ Entertainment in a town the size of Edenton is lim ited, but every now and then a treat is in store. One of these was "Wings Over Jordan” presented in the Kadesh Methodist Church Wednesday night of last week. There were almost as many white people present as colored and all enjoyed a splendid program by the famous Ne gro choir. The bass singer must have had a string tied to John Jones, for as the singer gradually lowered his voice, John gradually raised up in his seat. Then Lena Jones’ fourth grade youngsters presented a program, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” at last week’s Rotary meeting. It was worth the price the Rotarians paid for the meal without the extra feature presented by Gene Saunders and Pearl Perry. Then another affair which no doubt delighted a large audience was the May- Day exercises on the Court House Green Wednesday at just about the time The Herald was being printed. Os course, a report cannot be made, but here’s butting it was O. K. Another entertainment which is bound to be a fine affair will be the primary operetta, “Wedding of Flowers” at the school Friday night. Over 100 young sters will take part, so that moms, pops, brothers, sis ters, aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas will be on hand. Here's betting it will be a good show. o L. N. Sicha of Ahoskie, who is connected with the Home Owner’s Loan Corporation, was an early visitor in Edenton one day this week. Being an early riser the early part of the week, I happened to be in the office when he dropped by. “I want to comment on your clean town,” said Mr. Sicha. “I visit many towns in the State, but I believe this is about the cleanest one I have seen.” “Thank you, sir,” I replied, “1 happen to be the Street Commissioner,” and the way the visitor talked you would have thought I chase around the streets on the end of a broom. Anyway, it's encouraging to hear such complimentary remarks from a stranger in contrast to the never-ending bellyaching on the part of some who cap find nothing except things to complain about. o Politics seem to be getting in high gear hereabout, but politics are hard to understand. For instance last week the Edenton Naval Air Station was ordered to go on a caretaker basis and the next day the order was rescinded, so that it is supposed to continue as was. Well pronto, friends of Herbert Bonner say he saved the base. And just as prompt were friends of Robert Lee Humber to predict that the whole thing was a political stunt and that the base will no doubt be closed within 60 days. Then others say it was a mistake in sending the closing order. It’s too much for me. What I’m waiting for is the order to open the fishing season on May 20, and I don't want to hear of any politics stopping it, either. It’s a long way from my birthday, but I had a nice piece of birthday cake the other day. It was sent by some of the members of the Young Woman’s Bible Class of the Baptist Church, which celebrated its 18th anni versary. T’anks, ladies. Here’s wishing you would ob serve an anniversary every week. groups who have the final voice. It is a matter which calls for serious and unbiased thought on the part of all concerned to the end that the best possible site is selected, one which will adequately serve the needs not only now-, but for many years to come. Lions Witness Film Showing Conditions In War-Torn Areas W. J. Taylor, secretary of the Eden ton Lions Club, reported at Monday night’s meeting that six members had a perfect attendance from Sep tember through April. In the group were J. R. Byrum, L. S. Byrum, W. E. Malone, West Leary, J. Clarence Leary and Oscar Duncan. A. P. Hassell entertained the club by presenting a very interesting film depicting conditions in war-torn countries and the huge task faced by UNRRA. President J. P. Partin reported to the club that the recent baseball game sponsored by the Lions cleared about S4OO, which was very gratify ing to the members. At the meeting Jesse Harrell was installed as the newest member of the club. MRS. SUSIE WARD DIES Mrs. Susie Ward, 84, died at the Ward homeplaee in Gates County on Monday.
