THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT
DO WE LOVE LIGHT BETTER THAN DARK
NESS ? As long as 1 am in the world, I ani the light of
the world. —John 9:5.
Military Training And Our Guard
That some kind of universal military training is
strongly indicated, one can observe from world events.
The people of the United: States react more and more
to the idea that we must do something along this line
if we expect to remain safe from a steam-roller sudden
attack by any of those nations which are day by day
girding themselves for what ? You might well ask
yourself and with deep concern — why is Russia training
children from the fifth grade up in things of a military
nature ? You might well ask yourself why over 115-. mi
l Soviet, citizens are being.;trained Constantly in the
art of warfare.
The word “appeasement” was flattened by the war
machine of the ruthless Nazis. “Appeasement” has
taken op a meaning that is apt to be most uncompli
mentary. The American people are not. kidding them
selves. ' They know that it’s as much as their lives and j
freedom are concerned to ignore what is as plain as a j
wart on one’s nose.
Speaking of this coming military duty—those who
get in on. the ground floor with the National Guard will
be ahead of the game. The local Cannon Company is
making steady progress. From 30 it's grown to 44
members. Join {he National Guard and get in on the
ground floor.
A Salute To Our Teachers
Graduation is over. The school year is finished.
Those youngsters who graduated are looking ahead to
new horizons, already forgetting what they are leaving
behind. There are faithful servants holding the ground,
waiting expectantly for the new crop of youthful as
pirants to advance along the ladder of education. These
faithful servants-—to the young advancing, may seem
to stand still, but this is riot. so. For they venture forth
to the four corners of the earth embodied in. the teach
ings given each graduate, many times upon many times,
according to years: of service they have given to the
school systems of our nation.
Theirs is a noble task—this task of teaching our
children. Let each who reads these words pause in
momentary reflection and thanks for the interest shown
and the countless little services rendered above and be
yond the call of professional duty. We pay homage to
our /teachers—in Edenton and Chowan County. We
salute, pur educators all over the nation. Theirs is a
noble task. Theirs is a.vital task!
Sober Thinking Needed
That Chowan County citizens are taking seriously the I
huge problem facing them in way of providing necessary
improvements, paramount of which are adequate school
facilities, is reflected in the fact that no time has been
lost in calling the' committee together to begin the
Herculean task placed upon it. This group is called
to meet this afternoon to consider a building program
upon which will depend, no doubt. Chowan County’s
action in a program which calls for a .tremendous out
lay of money. .
Without question, the needs as presented at the recent
mass meeting are necessary and very, much needed, hut
at the same time it is obvious that the Countv cannot
stand a tax burden to raise an amount estimated to total
over, a million dollars in. order to provide what is deem
ed necessary.
The situation is a serious onr and one which will re
quire deep thought and laying aside of personal feel
ings. It is for the welfare of the county that the Com
missioners placed the matter before the citizens and as
the result of which a . committee was appointed and
charged with the-.responsibility of making a survey of
the needs and subsequently submitting recommendation '
to another mass meeting and later to the County Com- i
missioners. ri
An effort was made to have a committee representing 1
a cross section of the County, so that there should be
no partiality shown in the ultimate decision of the com
mittee. What recommendations are arrived at The
Herald cannot predict, but it is reasonable to believe
that it is composed of men who are vitally interested
in the county's welfare who will, after due and serious
consideration from all angles, recommend what they
believe best for the County as a whole.

! Heard & J^een
j By “Buff”
Y'ep, the baseball season is on, as could well be seen
at the Red Men’s meeting Monday night, when the
j Edenton Colonials played the first game of the Albe
marle League’s season. A quorum was not present at
the lodge’s opening time, so Sachem George T. White
stated, “We will call off the meeting due to the eighth
grade graduating exercises at the high school.” Jarvis
Skinner looked rather surprised and then chimed in,
j “Y'es, and there’s a ball game going on at Hicks Field,
j too.” It wasn’t hard to guess which affair attracted the
most Red Men. At any rate, what organization will
| not have a dickens of a time holding a meeting if a
I baseball game is on tap?
[ o
And speaking about baseball, Edenton has two league
teams. The Colonials are in the Albemarle League,
while the Cotton Mill team is a member of the new Tri-
County League. And as if that isn’t enough baseball,
the Varsity Club has been successful in organizing a
soft ball league which is scheduled to play two games
a week. The teams in the league are the Varsity Club,
Boy Scouts, Rotary Club and Red Men. The first game
j will be played next Wednesday, June 11, when the Var- ,
sitv Club meets the Boy Scouts. Games will be played
on the east end of the baseball diamond, so that the
playing field will not interfere with the regular base
j ball diamond. Then beside all this baseball, the Ameri
! can Legion Junior baseball team will be playing its
| share, so all in all Edenton is well off so far as base
| ball is concerned this year.

With »the senior class winding up its school career, ,
thoughts of many of us go back maybe more years than ,
W'e care to remember when we were in the same shoes.
However, its a joyous time for the boys and girls in |,
some respects, while on the other hand there is. no.]'
doubt, a tinge of sorrow that their public school days j
are over and they embark on a new era —one in which j
they will be obliged to face the hard and many times |
unfriendly realities of life. But be that as it may, the
Edenton Seniors on Wednesday enjoyed a picnic at ,
Sandy Point which, after the graduation exercises Wed- .
nesdav night, will, no doubt be the last time they will
be together as a group of students. The Seniors pre- I!
sented their home room teacher, Ben Askew, with a |
j present as a token of their esteem. Here’s wishing
every member of the Senior Class just as much and 1
even more success in life than he or she experienced I
i during their school Career.
o
Chowan Hospital has another booster in Johnny :
Bruce Hughes. Johnny Bruce recently underwent an | :
operation in the hospital and is high in his praise of Dr.
Frank Wood and the group of nurses who attended him I
while a patient. Here’s one who has not heard a com
plaint from any patient of the hospital, so while it 11
might be hard sledding, so far as finances are concerned, ,
] here’s hoping that the hospital will soon he on a more |
paying basis. Not that there is a wish for more people .
to become sick or needing an operation, but rather that J
more who go to other hospitals will use the one at our t
back door. •

Although the Rev. H. F. Surratt was not in the best *
of condition Sunday night when he preached the bac- I
calaureate sermon, being the victim of a bad cold he did. '
no doubt, have some satisfaction in preaching a sermon I
when the front seats were occupied. The Senior Class
occupied the front seats in the auditorium. Maybe a |
move should be started to have seniors in all of our
churches, in order to have front rows of seats occupied |
now and then. .

A revolution in fishing will no doubt be started as l <
the result of an experience Sheriff J. A. Bunch had the I
other day. The Sheriff was fishing for bream and, of i
course, was fishing very shallow up near the shore. At ■
one time when he threw his line near some lily pads I
a bass grabbed his cork and went under the water with | •
it. The Sheriff wondered what was going on and when 11
he pulled in his line he noticed the bass had chewed a .
piece, off his cork. Now he’s planning, when fishing for j
I bream, to attach a few hooks to his cork as well as at J
the end of the line, A new wrinkle, I’ll say!
Then I’ve heard about the experience Oscar Duncan
had up the creek. I’ve been told Friend Duncan caught
a very big bass and not having a stringer along, he
decided to fasten it to a cow chain in the front of the
boat. He continued fishing and all of a sudden the
boat was pulled around and nearly turned over as the
bass broke the cow chain. Gosh, it’s good the chain
broke or else Friend Duncan might have landed down
by Oregon Inlet, for these parts are no place for a fish
of that size. Anyway, I understand Friend Duncan
didn’t want the story to leak out for fear somebody
might not believe it.
Conditions often make a difference how a fellow feels.
For instance, one of the County Commissioners was
asked Monday morning how he felt. "Oh, I feet very
good.” was the reply. Then he was reminded that vari
ous budgets would come up for consideration. That al
tered the picture immediately, for he at once cable back.
"Conte to; think about it, I don’t feel good at all.”

Charlie Overman has what he considers a Democratic j
] pipe. However, he said the other day that he’s going !
to put it in the Republican party—on account of it (the J
pipe) also getting very much stronger.
“I want to put an ad in the paper,” said a fellow over
the phone the other day. “It’s no use asking how much
it is for I’ll have to pay it through the nose,” he wound
up the conversation. No, just pay through a check, pal.
and it will be all right.
