THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT
WE HAVE FREEDOM TO CIIOOSE SIDES: Hut ho
that denieth me before men shall be denied before thr
angels of God. Luke 17:9.
Meeting Many Should Attend
No little amount of publicity has been given by news
papers and radio to the proposed program: of the North
Carolina Good Health Association in an effort to lift.
North Carolina front the mbarnissing low position
among other states regarding health Conditions.
In every forward'movement there :s hound to he some
‘biection and the proposed program is no different than
other urgent movements in that there are and will be
those who object to the idea.
Not much comment either , for or against has. been
tieard in Chowan County, but on-the eve ot opening a j
hospital, which has been in the minds of many ChoWan ,
t'ountv people for many years, there should be reason i
for otir people to become health conscious. - ;■
,1. Clarence Loary. chairman in Chowan County for ;
•he Good Health Assoeiatiou. has arranged for a meet
ing to be, held, in the Chowan Court House Wednesday
night of next week, which should: attract; a capacity
house. The principal speaker for the occasion will b,
Harry B. Caldwell, who. is executive secretary of tile .
North Carolina Coed Health tcsoc atidn. Mr. ( aldwell ,
is weli acquainted with health conditions in the State ,
and is well posted on the plans ami purposes of the Good 1
Health Program, so that he should be able to pass oiit-j
first hand information. ■■■'■*'. \
There is no argument that every person should be m
• .rested in better health conditions, so that if there ar*
those who are not iii sympathy with the proposed pro
gram. they, should attend next Wednesday * lnffeting
and become enlightened on sem, phases whieh may mat
be altogether clear.
A great deal of interest has been aroused-throughout;,
the State and Chowan should, especially in : view of the j,
long local hospital struggle, have a large croud on hand
to learn as much as possible about what is being- pro- ;
yos»*o.
Shooting Stopped, But-
This week a large group of canvassers are a: uor
m the interest of raising Choxvan County's 1 S(i quota
of 51,500. This amount is less than half of- what was
raised in the County last year, but there is some belief
'that the smaller amount will, be much harder to 'raise
t his year.
It is tr ie,;ha- actual ffg.ht • g has cased but. never

Duty To Vote
Attention is called to.the.election to be held through
out the county.next Saturday, .when AAA committeeinen
will be chosen. This should i»‘ a matter of vital inter'.-'
to every farmer In order to name men -who haw; the con
fidence-«f ail. Ail too often no part is taken by some in
such, affairs, and .these ..very people are first to criticize
what is done by those who are put in charge of affairs.
It is not only a privilege but a duty falling on all
farmers and they should go to the polls and vote for the
men they think are best fitted for the place.

Old Man Weather played a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde
stunt the early part of this week, for on Sunday it was
'■plentv- warm enough for folks to sit out on front porches,
but bv Monday morning it turned so cold that "the
sunny' South” felt more like a winter day up Canada
way. In fact the mercury dropped to around the freez
ing point, so that a lot of people hurriedly put on their
long-handled drawers. And if the truth were known, I
expect even Miss Lena Jones dug up her red flannels.
o— •
For several days now it has been sort of difficult for
( me to recognize Hob Marsh, assistant county agent. It s
all because Bob “mowed" off his moustache. Well, may
be with the scarcity of so many things he doesn’t need a
soup Strainer these days. Anyway, it s funny how much
different a few hairs make on a person’s face. Gosh, it
reminds me that 1 need a shave myself.
Josiah Elliott was rather surprised Monday morning.
Apparent Ivi he makes his initial stop at The Herald of
tice on his' monthly round to collect bills for Byrum
1 Hardware Company; "What do you want in here? 1
; asked as he poked his nose in the door before 1 got
started to argue with a typesetting machine. “What do
you think 1 want with this hand full of bills?" he re
plied. "These are not press passes to a college football
gaum, you know." All of which meant that 1 had to
stop and. write a check before Joe. w as willing to leave.
Ain't these bill collectors persistent ?
Mayor Jerome Flora of Elizabeth City was among tin
■officials attending the district meeting "f the League "f
Municipalities' is the Court lions.- .Monday, and wa. |
telling about a . stop he. made on the way over. He i
stopped to watch a peanut picker in operation and after |
1 looking at the thing for a while, asked a man standing
i nearby "How far is it from here to Kdenton?” live
fellow replied, "Well, it used to be 20 miles, hut now
' that everything ..else has gone up so bloomin much. I
reckon it is about 25 miles." Where’s the QUA
1 A. S. HoUoWoll oil Monday took his scat as a t ounty ■
Commissioner, succeeding the veteran commissioner. A. j
| Boyce. Mr. Boyce, incidentally, was at the meeting
i when it opened to wind up a matter to which he was ap
! pointed to attend some time ago. Chairman West
Bv rum had a few kindly, remarks -to make regarding
! both, telling Air. II oil owe! I that he was filling the shoes
i * of a very good commissioner and that he (Byrum-) felt
i satisfied’that Mr. Hollowell would in turn also make a|
: good official. Friend Hollowell is rather warni-natured.:
I ha; he had jumped into his long-handled drawers before 1
coming to the meeting, and I expect the other com mis-<
.-’oners did the same thing.
f. Vi.: -o~—r —’■» .
And speaking about the commissioners, theywere paid
j off for a whole year's work Monday. Os course. Friend
ItoMowell was paid for only one meeting, so it will be a
long time until he gets another check. F-onr bucks nei
meeting they get, plus mileage. If I'd be West Byrum. j
! and A. S. Hollowell, I’d walk or drive around the block
a number of times before going to the meeting and then
collect mil. -age.
It looks as though Santa Claus has been hanging
around the fire station. In the rear of the place a whole
gang of toys are scattered about a table and on the floor. I
All of which means that Captain Dick Hall, has aid .
j some response for old toys to. be painted or repaired f ,v r ,
! distribution among poor children for ( bristmas presents, j
Cap’ll’ Dick derives a lot of pleasure in tinkering w
the old teys. so if you have any around the bouse of riff j
re use, jet him have 'em and he'll do his part to help
ake - .* youngster happy oi Christmas morning.
Since receipt, and printing of this week's High School
News.which haste do With speeches on the Good H-alt-h
. Urogram, I’ve been informed that two colored students.
Theophiius Barker and Lula Kelly, have prepared vert:
good'- papers oil the subject. The papers .Will, no dmiht.
in read at various meetings of colored people:
Which s: a reminder that a meetingwill be held iir
the Court House Wednesday night of-next week. When
every person interested in better health conditions is j
urged to attend. Harry B. Caldwell, executive secretary j
of the North Carolina Good Health Association, will '.he
•he principal speaker, and will present facts and infer- :
ati.hi yhich should be of interest, to all.
