Not One Man’s Job With the beginning of 1947 the Chowan County Cham ber of Commerce and Merchants Association entered upon a new era in that for the first time in its history it has the services of a full-time executive secretary. Peter Carlton, former Boy Scout Field Executive of the Albemarle District, is now devoting all of his time to the work of the organization. Mr. Carlton is wry much enthused with his new posi tion and before accepting the secretaryship, realized the j potential possibilities of Edenton and Chowan County. ' He has many meritorious ideas and is ready and willing to go the Jimit in any effort which will benefit the town j and county. He desires to become a part of the com munity and is very anxious to meet and make friends with not only Edenton people, but those living in the rural section as well. The new secretary is well qualified for the position, ' but irrespective of his qualifications, or any other secre tary, for that matter, he cannot do the job alone. He must have the backing and cooperation of the board of directors, as well as the membership as a whole. Os course, he is paid for his services, but to make the proper progress, the efforts of more than one man is necessary. In years gone by, general criticism of the Chamber of Commerce has most generally been directed to the fact that it lacked effectiveness due to only a part-time sec retary who did not, and should not have been expected, | to devote all of his or her time to the work. Now, how- | ever, a full-time man is employed which, more or less, is an experiment. If progress in any marked degree is realized during the year, there should not be any trouble in subsequent years to raise the amount of money neces- ; sary to operate on a full-time basis. If, on the other ■ hand, little is accomplished and members of the organiz- ; ation fee! that a full-time secretary is unnecessary, then ! the next best thing to do is close up .. shop and forget all about a Chamber of Commerce. This would, however, be a calamity, for whether some people realize it or not. there have been and will continue, at one time or another, to arise occasions when some organized effort will be needed ! to press the claims of the town and county, without which either or both I might be the loser. The Herald has been of the opin ion that a full time secretary is es sential to a useful Chamber of Com merce, and with the proper coopera tion on the part of members, the or ganization should, under the present plan, go forward and accomplish more than ever before. Eyes will be on Mr. Carlton, but at the same time he will need the help and support of every member of the | organization. With this cooperation, | The Herald believes he will develop i into a valuable asset to the town and county and under his leadership pro gress will bt realized. Faith, it is recorded, moves raoun- I tains, but mountains, it is reported, I have been known to move faith. i Character building is talked about j, and recommended by parents to chil- II dren, but the process gets little ac- | tual attention from human beings.

Looking out a win dow, I saw a light on the porch at Marvin Wilson’s home, and thought the Christmas carols were being sung on his porch. About the time 1 became awake enough to open the door, I heard one of my colored friends say, “I’m going home.” At any rate, the fact that I thought it was a radio program I was hearing is reason enough to say that the singing was very good. However, the group had gone before I could get myself together even to yell “Merry Christmas.” -o Though L regret that Edgar Pearce’s health required him to go to Florida for a rest, I more or less envy his trip. His physician asked him if he had any hobbies, so Fdgar replied, “Yes, I like to fish.” The doctor then told him to go some place where he could have a com plete rest and devote some of his time to fishing. Ed gar, therefore, plans to spend several weeks at Clear water, Florida, where he can fish either in fresh or salt water. I’m waiting for him to return, when, 1 hope, he will be greatly improved in health and prepared to hand out a few tall fishing yarns. Those around here are about used up. —o The County Commissioners on Monday, for some rea son or other) talked about the oft-discussed building of a new county jail, when one of ’em said he wondered if WPA would return, in which case some Federal a : d might be available. “No. let’s not depend on WPA,” said | one. “The WPA built the new ball park on Hicks Field j and started to put in wooden posts for the fence. It j took so long to complete the iob that termites ate up the j posts andt then concrete posts were put in.” Anyway.,j here’s hoping that conditions will not get so bad again ) that WPA will be necessary for some people to get some-1 thing to eat. With the Republicans now in power, may- | be we’ll be sitting pretty. o j- Arthur Hollowell, Raleigh Hollowell. Jim Daniels, Frank Hughes and I journeyed to Washington, N. C., Monday night to attend a Red Men’s meeting. The "bait” was a barbecue supper and it was a good one. The “bait” was successful also in getting a lot of the Washington Red Men out. which is mentioned in case some Edenton organizations are anxious to build up at- ; tendance—for one meeting, at least. Arthur Hollowell ! earned his supper, for he was called upon to install the, new officers of the Washington tribe, and he did a very j good job of it. o January will not be long in slipping away, so that j here is a reminder to list vour property for taxes.

Edgar Pearce Leaves For Florida To Rest Edgar L. Pearce left Monday for Florida, where he will spend several weeks resting. Mr. Pearce has been in ill health for several months, and a complete rest was recommended by his physician. He will visit several points in Florida, but will most likely spend most of the time at Clearwater. Mr. Pearce was accompanied by J. P. Partin and Lloyd E. Bunch, who will return from Florida by train.
