THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT
BE A GOOD SAMARITAN: Be not forgetful to en
tertain strangers, for thereby, some have entertained
angels unawares. —Heb, 13:2.
Great Loss
In the passing of John Augustus Moore, not only the
family experiences an irretrievable loss, St. Paul’s
Church a loyal and wise counsellor, the Rotary Club a
valuable member, his textile associates a capable of
ficial, but Edenton as a whole will be the poorer as the
result of his rather sudden and unexpected demise.
Os a quiet and unassuming disposition, Mr. Moore,
nevertheless, had the interest of Edenton at heart and
not a few times has he confided with the writer about
what he thought was for the welfare of the town, and
usually his opinion proved to be most advantageous.
It hds been a peculiar pleasure on numerous occasions
to sit beside him at Rotary luncheons and even eat with
him at the Albemarle Restaurant when his folks were
not at home, when one could experience some of his
outstanding characteristics.
Mr. Moore was very polite, kind and generous, to
which the writer can attest, partly due to fraternal re
lationship. He held a high standard of duty and had
the courage to stand by his convictions, a virtue many
of us might with profit emulate.
St. Paul’s Church in particular will be affected by his
death. He held the high and honorable position of
Senior Warden, devoting much of his time not only to
the local Parish, but his influence was felt throughout
the diocese and the nation.
Mere words cannot express the feeling of the writer
in losing a friend of the calibre of “Gus” Moore, and
the same is no doubt true of a host of other friends*
As sympathy is extended to the bereaved family, the
following familiar lines are recalled:
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
Let’s Turn Out
Tonight Norman Cordon, Metropolitan baritone, will
present a concert in the high school auditorium for
the benefit of Chowan Hospital. Mr. Cordon will at
tribute his services, so that our people should rally to
the hospital’s support and attend in large numbers.
Mr. Cordon will begin his concert at 8:30, and tickets
may be purchased at the door if they have not already
been procured.
Our Wish
As the result of a meeting held last week, another
new organization was formed which deserves the support
and cooperation of Chown people in general. A Chow
an Hospital Auxiliary is now functioning with Mrs.
William D. Holmes, Jr., as chairman.
The Auxiliary -was organized for no selfish purpose
whatever, but rather to be of some service to the Chow
an Hospital. Various kinds of activities will be under
taken and it is not doubted but that many worthwhile
things will be accomplished. The program in itself is
without doubt encouraging to those in charge of the
hospital, for the value of moral support alone is hard
to estimate.
There were many discouraging episodes experienced
in connection with openng the Chowan Hospital and
it is useless to believe that there will not be other prob
lems develop during the course of its operation. How
ever, with a hospital auxiliary at their side, those in

! Heard & Seen
By “Buff*’
Edenton people had the opportunity to get a first
hand glimpse of Uncle Sam’s fighting tanks this week,
when two M-4-A3 tanks were received by the Edenton
Cannon Company. The things weigh 36 tons and were
made in expectation of being sent overseas near the
close of the war. They were shipped complete separate
ly on flat cars from Lima, Ohio, and on them is mount
ed a 105 mm Howitzer and each is equipped with radio.
The local outfit is scheduled to receive nine of the
things for training purposes, so that the two “toys” have
arrived in time for Christmas. At present 46 men have
enlisted in the Cannon Company, where the quota is
76. -Cajjjain William P. Jones or Lieut. Jesse Harrell
will be glad to enlist any newcomers.

Two more of my friends are on the siok list, Clayton
Hollowell and Ed Habit. Friend Hollowell returned
from Duke Hospital where he went for observation,
while I understand Ed Habit went from Duke to a
Baltimore hospital. Here’s hoping both of ’em get on
the mend and are able to be about again.
o—
Last Saturday was a vfcry disagreeable day, so maybe
the parking meters are to blame for poor business.
' Anyway, during the morning a feftow dropped in Hey
wood Jones’ store to have $5.00 changed. Shucks, |
said Haywood, “at the rate I’m going, I’ll not have
$5.00 by tonight.”
o
The Rev. W. L. Freeman, new Methodist preacher,
made quite an impression at the two services he held
Sunday. At the night service so many remained in
the church that I asked him if he was serving sand
wiches and coffee. Anyway, he wants to meet members
of his congregation and a good place to do it is in one
of the pews. He’ll preach both morning and evening
from now on, so that there need be no more excuses
that a fellow forgot whether there was morning or
evening preaching.
o
And speaking about coffee and sandwiches, someone
should have been around the Municipal Building Tues
day night about midnight. A sale could have been
made to a few of the Councilmen, I know.
John White was among the group assembled in the
room asvMayor Haskett called upon various ones if they
had any matter to present. Finally he got around to
Mr. White. “Do you have something to bring before
the Board, Mr. White?” asked the Mayor. “No, your
honor,” replied Mr. White, “I’m only sitting in to watch
Town Councilmen in action.” Well, maybe there wasn’t
any action at that particular moment, but it was soiqe
relief to have a citizen on hand who didn’t have some
thing to complain about. Let’s have more of ’em, for
maybe more people will get an idea of what a Town
Councilman has to sit through and hear.
o
Policeman Tolley will no doubt turn into a coin col-,
lector. Reason —he has already gotten from the park
ing meters coins from about a dozen different countries.#
Says Tolley, “I get all the foreign coins—and all the
headaches.” 7*
Thanks to the Elizabeth City High School Band,' the
Edenton Student Council will be able to add some color
to the football game Friday night when the Aces play
the Yellow Jackets in the final game of the 1947 sched
ule. Let’s all turn out to see and hear the band, and
then if some who have not contributed toward the Eden
ton band, will dig down and make a contribution, the
“thermometer” at the Bank of Edenton.will go up de
spite the cold snap. The game should be a thriller, for
the teams are evenly matched, and the Elizabeth City
band will put on a show between the halves. The Aces
are hoping to turn in a victory, but the Jackets are
equally anxious to walk'off with the long end of the
score. Let’s all turn out and see the difference between
a football game with a band compared with none.
charge should be encouraged in the work, which will go
toward making a better hospital.
In scanning over the list of members attending the
initial meeting, The Herald sees no reason why the
Auxiliary will not be a success and gain a place as one
of the County’s leading organizations.
Such a wish comes from The Herald.

IN MEMORIAM
In memory of our son, Louis Nixon,
who was killed in a wreck November
10, 1946.
The month of November again is here
To us the saddest of the year
For one year ago today
Our dear boy passed away.
Your death was like a blow
Upon ohr hearts it felP
Called home without a word'
Not even a last farewell.
How little did we think
When you left home on your way
That we would never see you again
Before the close of day. >
It’s not the tears at the moment shed
To tell how we loved the soul that fled
It's the silent tears often wept
And the sweet memory forever kept.
Sunshine passes and shadows fall
Love’s memories outlast all
Though Ijhe years be many or few |
They are all filled with memories
of you.
But now that God has called you
To a home not made with hands
Therefore we submit tp His will
And sometime' we will understand.
By his mother
Mrs. J. C. Nixon.

It has not been our policy to take orders for KAISER
FRAZER cars in advance of their arrival in Edenton. Our
reason for this was the fact that we were mot sure of de
liveries and we did not want to string our customers along
with impossible promises. But now, thanks to the fact
that KAISER-FRAZER has become the WORLD’S
FOURTTJ largest producer of automobiles we are assured
of substantial deliveries. We are promised three cars this
week and three next week, and will probably have ten to
deliver by CHRISTMAS. . So if you want to give your
wife a real Christmas present, come in and place your
order immediately.
Remember, KAISER-FRAZER cars are the only real
Post War Cars yet Dut on the market by either of the
Big Four. ■ • /

There is solace to be found
in a quiet stream, a quiet book,
a quiet friend. There is some
thing in them infinitely more
comforting and of greatef value
than is to be s found in noisy
demonstration or strident
power.
Invariable courtesy and a
real, not unctuous, dignity,

with a charm that is gratefully
