THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1940 THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT WE ARE INVITED TO SHARE IN A DIVINE PARTNERSHIP: The children of Israel brought a wil ling offering unto the Lord, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.-—Ex. 35 :29. No Reason To Hold Back With only a few of the canvassers in the March of Dimes making a report up to Wednesday morning, it is hard to predict if Chowan County will reach it s $1,420 quota, although off-hand it would seem that a larger amount should have been returned. Thirteen workers turned in to the county chairman $123.45 which is a poor start toward the amount set, so that unless subsequent reports are larger, Chowan will for the first time fail to raise its quota in the drives to raise funds with which to combat infantile paralysis. It is hard to understand if this year the county fails to reach the quota, for the year 1946 saw the worst in fantile paralysis epidemic in history. True, there was no outbreak in Chowan County, but being fortunate should not be reason to tighten up purse strings in this worthy cause. No person in Chowan County is immune from an at tack of infantile paralysis, and being no respecter of persons, it may strike in families who can afford to pay for treatment, while on the other hand it might strike in families where financial help is necessary. It is the aim of the National Foundation For Infantile Paralysis that no victim of the disease shall suffer because of lack of ability to pay. At present the Chowan County Chapter has $2200 on deposit in the Bank of Edenton, which is a trifling sum to cope with an outbreak if one should occur. Os course, the local Chapter on several occasions sent money to State headquarters to help out in emergencies and may be called upon to do it again. So in either event the local fund should be materially increased. There are some people in Chowan County who have come in contact with the ravages of the disease and need no prodding to make contributions, but having been very fortunate in not having many cases, some apparent ly do not realize the seriousness of the situation. Robert L. Pratt, who volunteered as Chairman of the March of Dimes, has spent a lot of time and thought in connection with the drive. Canvassers, too, are sac rificing time to secure contributions, all without any desire for remuneration except the satisfaction of tak ing part in an effort to raise funds in order to he better prepared in event the disease injects its deadly tentacles into our fair community. Chowan County does not need help now, but who can guarantee that we will not need all of our local money, as well, as some from other sources? Chowan County should, then, raise its quota. making it less embarrassing to make a request for help : f and when it is needed. Our citizens are easily able to contribute $1,420. Will they do it? Deserving Praise Building and Loan Association officials had reason to be encouraged Tuesday nigm when the organization held its annual meeting, for the gathering of stockhold ers was referred to as being the largest and most rep resentative in the history of the association. Comment, too. was made concerning the splendid record made dur ing the year, as well as the war years when building and repairing ><f necessity was practically at a stand still. Time was when comparatively few people had much faith in. the building and loan idea, but it has been the means of many people owning their own homes who otherwise would most likely never been able to buy one. The more home-owners in a community, the better class of people will make up its citizenship, so that the Eden ton Building and Lean Association deserves the com pliments and commendation expressed at the annual meeting.

Harrell I have lost another of my many fine farmer friends and one who will be greatly missed. While he has not been such a frequent visitor of late, I recall very vividly during the early days of The Herald when just about every Saturday night a group met in the office on East King Street to play set back. Usu-ally among those in the group was Mr. Har rell, who derived a great deal of pleasure when as my partner we opposed Charlie Swanner and Paul Bunch in some very hot games. Three of the quartet have now gone to their reward, so that about all left for me to play is solitaire. Incidentally, the account of Mr. Har rell’s death on page 2 does not include three of the hon orary pallbearers. The three omitted are Fermor Hobbs, Jr., William Averette and Amos Griffin. o —■ Attending the North Carolina Press Institute in Chapel Hill the latter part of last week, the writer met many newspaper friends from all over the State. The trouble with such meetings is that there are always a few who want to talk "shop.” At any rate, a fellow is obliged to sit and listen to some folks who know the newspaper game and some who only think they do. All kinds of advice and suggestions are advanced at such meetings if it amounts to anything or not. Maybe it does some good and mavbe not, but The Herald’s editor, like most of the others', no doubt, listens and then comes back to do just as he darn pleases. • 6—: ■. The usual crop of jokes were "harvested” at the news paper meeting-in Chapel Hill last week and during one session of joke-telling a group became serious. Several were telling about their ancestors, some coming from England, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, etc. One follow said, “I’m Scotch-Irish,” and several others were at tempting to tell their ancestry, when a bird in the back of the room piped up, "Mine is Scotch and gingerale.” o— There may, be some misunderstanding about a recent storv concerning the appointment of Dr. John W. Warren as County Physician. This appointment is only a part time job and in no way interferes with his regular prac tice. I understand that at least a few of his patients were under the impression that his county duties will call him away from his regular duties. There is a dif ference between the offices of health officer and county physician. o ’ \ I wish we had more in Chowan County like a local boy I heard about this week. The March of Dimes drive is now in progress and the youngster told his mother he will have to wait a little longer to make a contribution, saying he had only 88 cenLs in his penny bank. He shelled out the whole amount when his mother told him she would add enough to make an even dollar. If more would give in proportion to their ability to contribute, the quota would be a drop in the bucket. o The hunting season is open at the Edenton Naval Air Station—that is on dogs. Raymond Umbaugh says one of his fine heifers was recently killed by dogs coming on the base and two others were seriously injured. Now he’s planning on doing a little shooting by getting out his gun and go oh a hunt for stray dogs. What’s the limit, Ray? And speaking about the base, there’s a western air about it as the cattle are rounded up. And going to prove that women can do some things men cannot do, Miss Adair Shaw helps in rounding up the cattle. Os course, Raymond Umbaugh and Doc Maker can ride horses, but Miss Shaw, who is laboratory technician, is the onlv one on the base who can lasso a cow. so that she’s ah important cqg in the project. Miss Shaw hails from Massachusetts and during the summer performs with a rodeo, so that her duties at the base, no doubt, help her to keep in practice. —o- Reports were in circulation Wednesday morning that a tug boat collided with the bridge over Roanoke River at 'Williamstop causing traffic to be held up. Gosh, whv don’t a couple of tugs run into the Chowan River bridge? But then if the bloomin’ thing sank, the bottom of Chowan River would be rather bumpy. And to bring in fishing, with the sort of weather we’ve been having, the water is all stirred up and be cause of so much rain probably the fish went eleswhefe to keep froth getting too wet. At any rate, prospects at present are very gloomy for any good fishing for some time, sothe fishing crowd are "enjoying” (is that the proper word?) a vacation. Edenton High and New Bern’s basketball teams will meet in the Edenton armory Friday night at 7:30. New Bern beat Edenton by four points in their first confer ence game, so Friday night’s game should be a thriller for basketball fans. lo tbc Days of Our Youth MASSES NEXT SUNDAY AT WINDSOR AND EDENTON The Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered first at 8 A.
