Scoutin’ A round
By PETER CARLTON
The Good Book says to visit the sick. There are lots o, our f. iends
and neighbors who are home sick today. Some very much so. We
don’t know who they all are at this moment, but we have a few
names. Mrs. A. G. Pinkham, mother-in-law of our Chief of Police,
Creorge I. Dail, has been ill for some time; Mrs. George Smith, moth
er of Mrs. Jesse Harrell, has been recently operated on for gall stones
and we hear is doing nicely; Mrs. Henry Cuthrell is recovering nicely
from her appendicitis operation; Mrs. C. C. Osborne was operated
rpn Saturday at our newly opened Chowan County Hospital, and we
understand this was the first operation case since it opened. She,
too, had acute appendicitis. Louis E.<
Francis, we are happy to say, is back
in circulation again. He came along
with us to a Masonic district meeting
in Lewiston on Wednesday night of
February 19. He thought it was the
barbecue he had eaten when he felt
ill the next day. That night around
midnight of February 20, the “doc”
advised he’d better get to the hospi
tal. Our new hospital wasn’t opened

yet, so they rushed him to Elizabeth
City. He was operated on at 1:30
P. M. We didn’t know about it until
we saw him on the street. Sickness
strikes suddenly—it sure does. And
those folks who are sick sure like the
folks to remember them.
——o
We have several of our little
neighbors in “sick bay,” all with
the mumps. (Now for heaven’s
sake, don’t go around feeling your
jaws and thinking you’ve got
them, too!) They include Chan
Wilson, 9-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Marvin Wilson; Betsy Dun
can, 12-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Oscar Duncan; Billy
Goodwin, 4-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Bill Goodwin; little
I Ruth Jackson Stokely, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. William Stokely.
We had this one wrong in our
“Let's Be Neighborly” program
last Sunday. We understood it
was “Little Firpo” who was ill—
our apologies). Little Lyn Still
man, age four, son of Mr. and
Mrs, A. E. Stillman, has been a
very sick boy, his mama reports.
But we are so happy to report
he is a little better now. He, too,
had the mumps. One of our
young ladies, Miss Dorothy Buff
lap, is back on the job again as-
I ter a siege of the mumps. Looks
like it doesn’t spare anyone.
We’re all glad in more ways than
one. “Buff" says she is one of his
mainstays in the Chowan Herald
office and a crackerjack lino
typist (she can read his writ
ing). He’d been running around
like a chicken with its head cut
off all the time she was out. He’s
back to normal again now.
Hundreds visited the Chowan Hos
pital at its formal opening this past
Friday. And judging from the num
ber of newspaper people present, it
was an important event for the Albe
marle, Edwin Bufflap, editor of the
Chowan Herald, the most widely read
newspaper in Chowan County, was
much in evidence and being given spe-

cial consideration by Dr. Frank Wood
and Miss Lucille Hall, hospital ad
ministrators. Herbert Peele, editor
of the Daily Advance and president of
the North Carolina Press Associa
tion, was there covering the beat,
along with Ben Dixon McNeil, re
ported to bo the ace reporter and
photographer of the Albemarle. Es
sie Coflield, Suffolk News Herald ace
reporter, was also giving the place a
going over. This writer tagged along
behind and enjoyed the explanations
given by the staff members, especial
ly from the pretty nurses. Many
have breathed a sigh of relief now
that this most modern and up-to-date
hospital ha.s opened its doors to the
sick of the Albemarle.
Patrolman Tolley of the Eden
ton police force tells this one.
Recently at the Joseph Hewes
Hotel, a man came up to him and
asked him his name. Upon find
ing out that it was Tolley, he
said, “you don’t remember me, do
you?” When Officer Tolley re
plied in the negative, he went on,
“You gave me a ticket last year.”
Tolley asked him if it was a good
one. “Good enough for $15.25”
was the emphatic response.
“However, you were so courteous
that I’m presenting you with a
ticket.” Tolley discovered it was
a ticket for a set of free photo
graphs of himself or family. The
man was a photographer covering
this area. (Ernie Kehayes piped
up and reminded Tolley about the
murder that happened up North,
almost like a detective story. The
murderer had the gun concealed
in a camera. Good gracious—
what a prospect!)
Anne Jenkins of Anne's Beauty Sa
lon, tells us she has a newcomer with
her —Miss Aileen Moore from Golds
boro, who is an addition to the staff
in the capacity of beautician. Wel
come to Edenton, Aileen! Anne re
cently attended the North Carolina
Convention for hairdressers and cos
metologists. While there she studied
some new wrinkles in hair styles un
der some of the country’s outstanding
hair stylists. At the Goldsboro con
vention, Anne was appointed chairman
pro tern for the purpose of setting up
a unit of the North Carolina Hair
dressers and Cosmetologists Associa
tion, Inc. Mrs. Jenkins states that
Eastern Carolina has never been rec
ognized up until now, due to the lack
of an organization of a unit. She is
confident that when the hairdressers
and cosmetologists in this area learn
more of the program of the organiza
tion, that there will be no difficulty in
getting one started. (The old “saw”
about in unity there is strength, is no
exception here).
o
We’re most interested in the
contests and projects being un
dertaken by the 4-H clubs under
the guidance of Charlie Overman
and Bob Marsh. Bob tells of a
baby chick project to be sponsor
ed by the Home Feed & Fer
tilizer Company of Edenton.
Charlie Overman, our County
, Agent, tells us of corn and pea
nut projects which have gotten
under way already, with applica
tions being received by 4-H mem
bers. Charlie says the Dads must
sign, too, or it’s no go. Reason
being that assurance must he had
that Dad will back up the pro
ject. Signed up so far for the
corn contest are: Roger Bunch,
Aubrey Harrell. Herbert Ray
Lane. Wesley Parrish, Larry
Ilollowell. Thomas Paul Griffin,
Robert White, Leon Privott and
James Monds. For the peanut
contest: Jesse By rum, Aubrey
Harrell, Sherelon Layton, Mal
colm E. Copeland, Melvin How
ell, Maurice Nixon, Herbert Lane,
Carroll Evans and Sammy By
rum. Others are expected. (1
promised to take the pictures of
the winners and have them pub
lished in the newspaper). An
other important item for all us is
the “rat control” campaign super
vised by the County Agent’s of
fice. It was so much in demand
last September that it will be re
peated shortly. Right now, how
ever, anyone can put in an order
for the poison bait with either
the County Agent or with the
community representatives. Mr.
Overman says they are not all
appointed. The following is a
list: Gliden community. Tommy
1 A. Berryman; Ryland, Mrs. H. H.
Lane; Yeopim, Joe Webb, Jr.
(More to be appointed). Bait
will be made only for those who
order it—and it will be on a non
profit basis. (But. says Charlie,
we don’t expect to lose any
money, either).
Is it true that we not only have the
only “cow girl” in the State of North
Carolina; but we also have the only
cowboys of the air, since our scien
tists, have taken to th° air to trace
down lost cattle at the Edenton Naval
Ah- Station?
We, thy neighbors, salue thee,
Ellen E. Byrum. on thy 9fith
birthday. God bless you and keep
you!

The Dance Festival attracted an
attendance comparable to commence
ment exercises. Both nights of the
festival were very enjoyable, full of
activity and information, and the
Public Relations Committee expreases
its appreciation for the splendid pat
ronage.
At the PTA meeting a goodly
number were present, when Prof. D.
F. Walker explained the needs of the
school, setting forth the sort of
building necessary to properly carry
on the work of the school. He also
emphasized the importance of child
ren attending school regularly. Af
ter checking attendance, the banner
was awarded Emma Foreman’s 7B
grade.
The Booker T. Washington High
School Chorus entertained a large
audience in the school auditorium
March 7. This was one of the best
trained groups of young people ever
to perform here. The program was
sponsored by the Les Elites Club
and was greatly enjoyed by both
white and colored people.
The next program to be presented
will be the seventh grade annual
play, “The Traveling Cousin”. The
date will be announced later.
BIBLE CLASS MEETS
The Young. Woman’s Bible . Class.

sick members and other class ac
