THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1946. _ THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT WE NEED GUIDANCE IN LIFE’S CONFUSIONS: Teach me thy way. 0 Lord, and lead me in a plain path.— Psalms 27:i1. Have You Bought Christmas Seals? With a campaign through the.sale of Christinas Seals raise funds with which to combat tuberculosis now m progress, too much emphasis cannot be placed on the importance cf fighting the disease from every, angle. >\ nurchasing these seals, local workers are enabled to get at the root of the disease in many cases and, thereto,uv. . augurate a program of prevention, which is equally as ....pertain as treatment of cases where .tuberculosis has reached an advanced stage. .... Main words have been printed and spoken relative to tuberculosis, but a seventh grade colored girl of. the Warren’s Grove section recently wrote a paper on the subject Her language may not be of the highest type ami - her phrases 'may not be t’owery and in accordance with proper English.. but the thoughts as she expresses them in her own way make good sense and can readily be understood bv anvone who can read. The paper was submitted to Mrs. J. A. Moore. Christmas Seal chair man, and because of the timeliness of the subject, it appears below: "Tuberculosis is a catching disease. It, copies up when .our back is turned. You have to be spry if you want to keep away from it. ' . "There are six warning signs. It you keep losing weight, watch your step. If you feel tired all the time and have nothing to be tired of. that is a danger sign. If you don’t feel hungry when it is eating tinie, some thing must be wrong. If you have a i*«>m that han£> i*n. that’s something to watch. If you have a pain in your che-stvthat gets worst* when you take a hum breath., that means phirisy. If you spit up blood, that’s .sure a dam ger sign and vou’d better look out. "If an older person has tuberculosis in.a house w'herc there is a baby, for goodness sake (ion t let him play .vith the baby.' because the poor baby might catch the disease, . . "Always cover your nose and mouth with a paper napkin for a sneeze or a cough that can be burned "Always clean your form well Boil : ,your blankets. ''m everything out in the -sun, because the sunshine is one of the best germ killers. "If you are a man with a huge family, they can mart three or four months before you go to work better than ney'can do without you aH, the timo forever.

C„ THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 28, P.rtb. j Heard & Seen By “Buff’’ Well, the Edenton Aces have Wound up the 194 ti schedule and all in all it has been a successful one, al though the boys should have won the first three games which they lost. Os course, they also lost the final game to Elizabeth City, but not by as large a score as had been expected. In fact, the Yellow Jackets were very lucky to nose out by a 12-7 score. During the season various members of the squad have been praised, but as is the case in football, many on a team play just as cre ditable a game as a player who races for a touchdown or in some other way makes a play which is easily seen by spectators. However, the boys in the line are prone to be overlooked and it is they very often who bear the l brunt of the bruising charging of an opposing line and the onslaught of a ball carrier and his interference. The Herald doffs its hat to all the boys on the Edenton squad, for Tex Lindsay has seen to it that every boy has taken part in a game during thv season. Os course, some boys played better than others, but each one’s individual ef fort went toward a smooth working machine. The boys have done well, so that here’s a pat on the back for each boy on the squad, which includes the following boys: Stalieil Davenport. George Habit, Curtis Pressley, Pete Manning, Sammy Ross, Frank Habit. AI Habit, Hector Lupton. Jr., Edgar Rogerson, Russell Wheeler. Henry Powell, Earl Goodwin, Jack Habit. Jimmy Cates. Ralph Ward, Bobby Byrum. Dick Hollowell, ITilly Altman, Hay- Wood Rogerson, Philip McMullan, Charles Morgan, Rod ney Harrell. Frank Hughes, Mickey Wright. Tom Wright. Joe Privott, Earl Menshew and Ernest White. —,——o Then 1 must not forget the Edenton cheering souad. They, no doubt, worked just as hard in the interest of winning games as the boys on the field. They have been ini hand at every game to yell and encourage the boys, and in Elizabeth City Friday night, despite the fact that the Elizabeth City cheerers have a band, and a very good one. the local crowd easily outyelled the crowd on the other side of the field. Yeah, when will Edenton have another hand? And talking, about boys, it is very encouraging to note that Comdr.' C. M. Speight. USCG (Ret,), who has made Edenton his home, has taken, over the Cub Scouts as i Oubmaster. This, too. is a group of regular Young Americans, who have been . without a Cuhmaster since the Rev. D C. Crawford, Jr, left to.accept the pastorate of a church in Tennessee. Os course, the Cub Scouts were held together by several Den Mothers and Assist- . | ant Den Mothers, but now that Comdr. Speight has taken I over, The Herald hopes he will find a great deal of joy | working w ith the hoys. It is safe to bet that the youngs I ters are delighted to have Comdr. Speight as. their Cuh | master, and unless we miss our guess we should be hear ing: more from this group. Francis Hicks and Billy Gardner have now advanced to the rank of Webelos, which honor is equivalent to being an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts. More power t«i Comdr. Speight and his group of youngsters. j If 1 had to write this column along about Thursday or Friday of last week ami if I had to do the writing with my legs instead of my hands, it's doubtful if it would have been written. I. together with a goodly number of Lions. Rotarians and a few Red Men. made i trip to the bowling alleys at the Edenton Naval Air Sta tion for a while Wednesday night, and w hile we all had a good time rolling the balls (and some of the boys set ting up the pins) there's no doubt but that some of us realize that we’re not as young as \ve Used to be. How-. • •vor. I haven’t seen any of the hoys hobbling around on crutches, and despite a little soreness, which soon-wears off, it's a fine pastime. Here's hoping the interest com •itiues and that the various ofganizations w ill soon have -teams- organized and a league functioning, which should result in a lot. -of fun and beneficial exercise. ;’ . - -o • Whileeating supper on the way home from the recent .Carolina-Wake Forest foot ball game.
