THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1948. ~ THiFwEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT ONLY ONE ALLEGIANCE: But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him. —I Cor. 8:6. Another Worthy Cause Last week The Herald had something to say about three worthy causes for support byway of contributions, namely the Red Cross Fund Raising Drive, the sale of Easter Seals and the March of Dimes. This week an other equally worthy drive is announced, the Cancer drive. Chowan County people to be sure are acquainted with the havoc wrought and suffering caused by cancer. It is the nation’s No. 2 killer, one which claims the lives of one American every three minutes, to say nothing of the untold suffering. Like other plagues, it is no re spector of persons, so that no one is sure that he or she will escape the disease. Mrs. Ralph Parrish has been named commander in Chowan "County and has associated with her Miss Re becca Colwell as chairman and Mrs. Nathan Dail as the treasurer. The drive, as was the case last year, is spon sored by the Junior Woman’s Club, with a quota of SBOO allocated to the county. The cancer program is three-fold in nature, with em phasis placed on education, service and research. The word cancer is a powerful word, the mere mention of it spreading fear among almost any audience, for it has stricken people in every walk of life. Each contribution received will heip secure the funds urgently required in each state, county, city and com munity to continue the program for cancer control. Con tributions will, therefore, help advance the cause and further the work srgainst this terrible killer. Chowan County should, and The Herald believes will, join in this fight against the No. 2 killer. Our Forgotten Men President Truman has proclaimed April 6th as “Army Day” and appeals to the people of the United States for “appropriate and sympathetic observance” of the occa sion as a “token of special honor to the soldiers and veterans of our Army, at home and in foreign lands.” The people of the United States seem to have lost sight of the fact that thousands of American soldiers are now serving overseas. With the end of the fighting in the recent war, there was a general assumption that no need existed for additional patriotism on the part of our young men. If ever a group of men belonging to any country have become the “forgotten men” of a nation, the term applies to our soldiers now serving the cause of this country overseas and at home. Chowan County will hardly observe “Army Day” by any appropriate observance, but we all should appreci ate the services rendered to the nation by its fighting 1 men and do some serious thinking about the steps which should be taken in the interest of protecting their lib- I erties and the existence of their country. We are quite sure that men in the service will appre ciate such thinking on the part of their fellow citizens and that the best evidence that we can give them, as a nation, of our support will be forthright to adequately prepare the United States for ahy emergency. A supreme dictator might be worth something to the world if he would assemble all tightwads in one country and let ’em work upon each other. When the nation's will is determined by selfish in dividuals, each acting for himself, the government of the nation is doomed.

PHONE 1046 ■ : i - 1 HAMPTON ROADS TRACTOR & EQUIPMENT COMPANY _—.... ... ■ J . j iii Heard & Seen By “Buff” 4. , « We’ve heard all kinds of fish stories, but an unusual I one is now in the making. Last week John G. Small and others heard a terrible splashing under the mill at Ben nett’s Mill which sounded as though a horse had fallen' overboard. Upon investigation no horse could be seen, but occasionally a loud noise is still heard under the mill, so that Mr. Small decided to close the gates, so that whatever it is, is still penned up between the two gates of the mill. A hole was cut in the floor of the mill and a boat lowered. A couple of venturesome young men got in the boat in the hope of seeing what the mys tery is, but Whatever it is, it was too smart to come to the surface. Besides, a close watch has begn made with shot guns in hand in order to send a load of lead into the critter, but still it is too smart to come up to be a target. (Fishing with a shot gun is a new one on me). At present the tide is high and right much water is un der but Mr. Small plans to keep both gates closed until the tide drops, when he expects to be able to see and even catch 'what has been causing so much commotion. Os course, Mr. Small is mystified, but he told me Tuesday night that he thought it might pos sibly be a sturgeon which wandered where it had no business. At any rate, he promised to let me know what the thing is when he finds out, but he refuses to let me fish from the floor of his mill. Here’s hoping it doesn’t get away like a lot of the big ones do on a hook and line. These store clerks should be a little more specific. The other day Roy Leary and I happened to be looking at some cheese in the Colonial store. Roy noticed that one pile was a light color and another a golden hue. “Which pile is the oldest?” asked Roy. One of the clerks replied, “It tells you on the package.” Well, afi I could see on the package I was looking at was the figure 38. “Here’s a hunk 38 years old,” I told Roy, but the clerk soon chimed in, “that’s the price, qir.” Well, if you’ve ever smelled limburger cheese, you’d think the stuff is 138 years old, or at least old enough to become rotten a couple of times over. Thank goodness, no store in Edenton has the nerve to carry limburger cheese, or at least I’ve not seen it—but then a fellow does not have to see it to know it’s around. I put. limburger cheese in the same class as chitterlings, so far as my eating is concerned. o Herbert Hollowell dropped in the office Tuesday, his face beaming with a smile. At the same time he dropped two cigars. It’s a boy, you know, and the younger Mr. Hollowell will be known as Herbert, Jr. To each his own or every person to his own liking, or something like that, but here’s one who doesn’t want a job like Roy Shireman, who went up the flag pole at the Edenton High School Monday afternoon just about like a squirrel travels up a tree. Mr. Shireman fixed the chain at the top of the pole and also painted the thing from top to bottom with just about as much ease as I do to park in front of an Intertype machine and set a line of type. On top of that flag pole is about as close to heaven that a fellow can get in Edenton, but I don’t want to go that way. Gosh, we think we had a lot of snow this winter, but according to Leon Hamilton, business manager of the Binghamton baseball club, we “haint seent nuthin.” Mr. Hamilton arrived Tuesday to make preliminary arrange ments for the spring training quarters and said up until a short time before he left Binghamton he hadn’t seen the ground of the baseball diamond there on account of being covered with snow just about all winter. He also encountered a flood on his way here. Incidentally, the ball players from he Binghamton club and the Man chester, N. H., club are scheduled to begin arriving next Sunday. o i I understand that some exception was taken to an item in this column last week relative to our up and coming band. I believe at least one person resented reference j to “some discordant notes heard” at the first appearance |of the band. To be sure, some discordant notes were heard, but if that is any reflection on the band, indivi dual' members. the band as a whole or on Director Ben Stevenson, somebody is all wet. And if no more discord ant note' ire heard, we’ll have a miracle performed right here in Edenton. The reference was not in a spirit of criticism, and any fair-minded person could not construe it a<= smh : n light of the entire paragraph. Yep, I’ll bet a stogie I’ll hear more “sour” notes by the band, but that is to be expected and it does not lessen mv admira tion for the boys and girls who are so much interested that they were not afraid to appear in public knowing tnat they were not “professionals " it * oniv King mistakes that one learns how to do things rieht some times. Go to it, boys and girls, we’re not worried about the mistakes you make. The first appearance was O.K. and gives us something encouraging to look forward to.
