THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1947 THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT BE CHARITABLE: A friend loveth at aj times, and a brother is born for adversity.-—Prov. 17:1.. Welcome, Baseball Folks! People of Edenton and Chowan County, and we don t believe we’d be wrong in saying, of the Alb. marie, ex tend a Cordial welcome to the Binghamtoh IT-iplqfs and the Denver Baseball Clubs, beaded up bv two former j major league stars, Vernon "Lefty” Gome.: and Marty McMartus. Lefty came with the New \ ork fare: •••:> : \ and Marty came with the Denver aggregation.. Already j the Chamber of Commerce. city officials and individual .j citizens have been doing a 1 they can :■■ yalrn th ; an.l cordiality.

Wdeonie., fi lows ’ V.. ■ . I Mr-. Lefty: Gomez 1 Congratulations! The Herald, or .course, joins, the many friends who are congratulating John W. Graham upon his appoint ment by Governor Gregg Cherry as Solicitor for the j First District to succeed Chester Morris, who was elevated to Judge to till the vacancy caused by the r.n- , timely death of Judge C. E. Thompson. The Herald, too. congratulates Chester .Morris, a very able man who can he depended upon to discharge his important duties in keeping with his predecessor. Mr. Morris, through the years as Solicitor has won the ad miration of hosts of people wherever he has served, so that it was only to be expected that his ability should be recognized by Governor Cherry. The IU raid believes that justice will be administered fairly in the hands of Judge Morris, and that he, too, like the man he succeeds, will win recognition and admiration as he goes about presiding over sessions of Superior Court, Mr. Graham, one of the youngest attorneys in F.den ton, has served well in positions of trust, and being elevated to Solicitor will, no doubt, inspire him to con tinue in his effort to be of Service to his State. In hav ing Mr. Graham as solicitor, judge Chester Morris can be assured of having a man who will cooperate in; every way to the end that law and order is upheld in the counties where he. serves. The Herald, therefore, congratulates both Judge Chester Morris and Solicitor John W. Graham. Buy Easter Seals With the Red Cross drive.about completed, another opportunity now presents itself for Chowan County people to contribute to a worthy cause. From now until Easter, seals will be sold, with money derived going to-’, ward aiding crippled children. Not only will the money be used for extending services to afflicted children, but by buying seals you will help provide additional train- d personnel, new physical plant facilities and foster re search in the causes and procedure and meth'd- f .'r •■ care and treatment e various diseases which make cripples of so many children. It is interests to know ;ha* in the neighborho -1 .if 35 children m Chowan C..t:n*y have been helped through buying Easter. Seals, so that me shoo'd : 'b;-y to join 1:: the campaign and buy- the attractive sea's. Our sp>via!

Never take it for granted that people understand your motives a ••less you have .made them very clear, very of ten. The battle oir the highways is almost as deadly as the combats of warfare. The dead and dying are on our highways every: hour of the day and night. The truth is a great goal for human intellect, but it will never be discovered by those who refuse to use their brains. This would be a better world if you could tel! what some people mean by what they say. !«► riiras I POTTED PLANTS IN FULL BLOOM ] CUT FLOWERS AND CORSAGES 4 PHONE US YOUR ORDER [ LULA WHITE’S FLOWER SHOP 4HL 1 PPE TELEGRAPH FLOWERS j ; PHONE 243-J DAY OR NIGHT \un7»M £ IUE CHcAVA.x HEK u.D.

TIIUIto«DA> MARCH 27, IM7, V *~ 1 ■ ■‘■■■■■■■.■i** •> |Heard & Seen 1 By “Buff’’ j J * Rarlow Harrell has come to the conclusion that he will have to subscribe to The Chowan Herald if he wants to read the puper. Meeting him in the post office the other Jay, Friend Barlow, instead of starting on the subject of shoes, said he can find all kinds of reading material in the waste cans at the post office. "I get a copy of the Christian Advocate, the Masonic Orphans Friend ! and almost any kind of catalog 1 want from the trash i cans," he said, "but I never find a copy of your paper." o Yep, things are getting back to normal in some res- I pects, which I learned Friday while in Norfolk getting { fixed up with a pair of glasses. Why a fellow is now able to go right into a store without feeling that he is trespassing or needs a formal invitation, and ask to buy something without fear of insulting a clerk. In fact, in a couple of instances while window shopping, a clerk, or owner of the place so far as I know, stepped out from inside, asking, "Can I sell you something today?" It's not altogether a secret that when a fellow joins a Masonic lodge there is a certain amount of memoriz ing to do before he can proceed with the various degrees. Which brings to my attention a certain man in town who, while home utilized right much of his time repeat ing what he was taught. Finally his wife became rather concerned about her husband "talking to himself”, and asked another Mason, "What does Masonry do to-.a Irian anyhow? Why my husband talks to himself while in ! the bathroom, while walking through the house and even j before going to sleep he’s .mumbling something-—he’s j always talking,, which 'is so different from his Usual I habits before joining the lodge.” Keep a listenin’, sister, ! maybe you’ll learn the password. There's a lot of mumps around and the bloomin’ dis ; , use, like most diseases, is no respecter of persons or I of age. Take G. 11. Cobb, father of Mrs. T. B. Williford j IV. ■ instance. He's 75 years old ami I understand he's I nursing, a stubborn case of the mumps at the home of j ,h:s daughter. Better watch out, folks. ■. ■ | o - 'I. ! A sign in Mitchenef’s Pharmacy might be a bit con -1 fusing. U. ads the sign "Welcome Triplets." One rath. : inquisitive fellow went in the store to inquire who had triplets. Os course, the sign is directed to the Bing hamton baseball recruits who have begun their spring training in Edenton, | Good use is being made of the parking lot on the site |of the former Penelope Barker Hotel. The Street De -1 partinent went to quite a bit of trouble in cleaning off the lot, making it level and laying out parking places. On Saturdays every parking space is utilized, which means that about 30 drivers are relieved of the trouble of driving back and forth in the business section to find a place to park. Besides, quite a few cars are parked there during the week. Yep, hunting season is in full swing for office seekers --up to the time of going to press nine had announced their candidacy for the 11 offices to be filled in the May fjfh Primary, Just before this column was written Clyde Hollowell dropped in to say he will be a candidate for Councilman in the Fourth Ward, which brings the num ber of candidates up to ten. There’ll be more, no doubt, so that it might be a scramble for the offices. In fact, if al! run who it has been rumored will run, a guy who votes for himself will do himself a lot of good. o What appears to be an up and coming organization in Edenton is the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post. It’s rather exclusive, for to be eligible a member must have served overseas during the war. I'm not eligible to join. J but then most of the VFW boys will not be eligible to | join my Grandpappy Club, if 1 ever get it functioning. So far there are only two members. Arthur Hollowell is president and I’m secretary—we voted for ourselves. o If the bloomin’ wind which has been blowing a gale for two days doesn’t soon abate, and somebody sees part of a shack and a fellow- buried under it in the yard of the Gordon home on East Church Street, that will be me and part of my house. For two nights now I felt ...re the r. ..f would be torn off or even the house crumbl ed in, Anybody else in the same fix ? o William Reeves, a colored boy who has worked for Tin- Herald a long time, is due to get his wages cut, or < impin'. It all comes about on account of some re marks he made Monday night. William heads up a quartet of colored boys who are. gaining quite a reputa tion f.>r their singing and I invited them to sing at Mon day night’s Red Men meeting. Upon their arrival I ask ed William, to introduce the boys. He began thusly: -'Gentlemen, and Mr. Buff ap . . . ." Now is-;'* that gratitude? Anyway, the hoys delighted the R. <1 Men with a goodly number of songs, and then helped to.eat up the hot dogs. o What should be a "screamer” will take place Friday night in the school auditorium, when another Womanless Wedding will be staged. In the neighborhood of 50 lo cal people will take part, and according to similar pre vious affairs, a full house will no doubt be on hand. It’s no reflection on the way Chowan women prepare fish, but just the same they’re invited to a fish p.epar ation school which will be held in the Agriculture Build ing in Hertford, Tuesday afternoon, April 1, at 2 o’clock. A specialist from Washington, D. C., will give the demonstration, so that the women are urged to attend. So far as I’m concerned, I’ll bet a stogie that some women I know can prepare fish to my liking better than any specialist. ; JUDGE MARVIN WILSON HEADS ALUMNI OF UNC IN CHOWAN At the meeting of alunmi of the University of North Carolina, held 1.
