THURSDAYrTuNE^TI94r^ this week’s Bible thought INSINCERITY IS THAT: Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto •nen; but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. —Matt. 12:31. We Cannot Become Weary Drive after drive has been the order of the day,, so much so that solicitors as well as those who are solicited are no doubt tired of being called upon for this or that cause. However, a drive will be held in Chowan County, as well as the nation and 30 other countries in behalf of starving and suffering children in Europe and Asia who are the innocent victims of a cruel war. It is estimated that 230,000,000 children are victims and that one out of every ten has no father or mother. These children are hungry, practically naked, sick and suffering, so that Americans must be concerned. Were some of these children in our own community, there is no doubt whatever that our people would minister to their needs. The only difference is that, they are thou sands of miles away, which means that we cannot see them or hear their despairing cry. It does not relieve ( us of our concern in bringing about some immediate re lief. A decent home is unknown among this great num ber of children, for some live in caves, boxes or any sort of shelter they can find. Chowan County is asked to raise $1,416 toward a $60,000,000 fund to provide relief to these children. This means a little less than an average 10 cents per person less than the amount spent daily in many cases for “cokes” by the average person in the county. Almost every public-spirited organization in North Carolina has joined hands and hearts and people in every walk of life have pledged their support. So, while Chowan County people may be sick and tired of drives, if one will picture so many innocent children crying for food, clothing and shelter, it should soften enough hearts to raise the quota. The drive will be in progress from June 14 throughout the remainder of the month. Without doubt we are face to face with a grim world emergency. If we allow present conditions to warp the minds and hearts of these children, what will the future bring? It is one of those times we should remember the Scripture, “Inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these... ” John Q Public In Driver’s Seat Another time John Q Public has had his say and did so in electing a group of public officials in Saturday’s primary election. Os course, all candidates could not be winners, and no doubt some of those defeated are just as capable of the ones elected. But be that as it may, the voters decide the matter, so that it is hoped all who were elected will live up to what is expected of them and merit the confidence reposed in them. After all, any public official is a servant of the people who put him in office, and'it is the people who are to be served rather than selfish individual interests. Politics explains many occurrences and much talking; ordinary human nature explains the rest. l lN ■_. ,| l j o en^ 01 Distiict f ißi \ 1! W.l.

Y. _„ I SEE!“THE IRON CURTAIN" I i.,— — " Heard & Seen By “Buff** , | • -f , With Hec Lupton being away this week, here’s one 1 who has been up to the neck in work and just about going around in circles. Any reader who sees Willie Bunch’s ad in the adjoining columns, will be likely to say I’m' upside down, We at The Herald make a lot 'of mistakes, but Willie’s ad being upside,down is not a mistake —he requested it and said if it did not appear that way he would not pay for it. So that is that, and I hope you read his ad and then gq to have your car inspected so that you have no trouble with the cops. * ; — 0 One of my cOlored friepds does not have the trouble I have regarding what to get for Sunday dinner. It was while I was talking to Arthur Hollowqll that I said, “I don’t know if I’ll have chicken or roast beef.” ' It was then that my colored friend piped ■ in, “I know i what I’ll have for my Sunday dinner. I’ve been married ; 40 years and my wife has not failed to have cabbage a single time for dinner. He stated further that when t he dies and if he is buried on Monday, his funeral will have to be held-in the afternoon, for rain or shine, his wife washes every Monday morning. \ o . ; There is a piano at the Legion hut where the Red Men are meeting temporarily, so that the other night J. H. Thigpen parked in front of the thing and rattled off a few chords. What he needs (o do, however, is to take some lessons from those daughters of his, for they can play up a storm beside chords. o The VFW boys must be on the outs with the weather ' man, for it seems it rains every time they try to do something. They fooled the weather man on Sunday, | however, 1 for they managed to hold a Memorial Day service between showers. The veterans, VFW and American Legion groups marched .behind the band to the cemetery, but by the time they returned it began to rain again. At any rate the program was very im pressive and the VFW boys are to be complimented for arranging the service. , o ' |t I’m looking for Rupert Goodwin. It was too late to mention it elsewhere in this issue of The Herald, but he became papa Tuesday, when a daughter was' born in Chowan Hospital. The name of the young lady is Sarah Simon, but I don’t know the name of the cigars Rupert will pass around. o Now that the election is over, we’ve heard a number of “Just as I said,” or “I told you so.” But even so, I don’t know of anyone who knows what the outcome of an election will be until the votes are counted. Peter Carlton was right much excited Wednesday morning when he informed me he had a new automobile. “It has gear shifts and I can lock the doors to this one,” he said. Now that he has a car with gears, I’m wondering how he got around in his old jalopy. As for locking the door to his old car—well, what was the use ? Who wanted it? He has two cars now. o Members of the Edenton Band were no little worried Tuesday night, so much so that some of them shed tears. It was while some of the boys were kicking up I that Director Ben Stevenson walked out of the band room in disgust. Most of ’em thought hq quit, but I learned Wednesday that he didn’t. In fact, it would be a calamity if he would quit at this stage, so here’s hop ing the boys and girls quit all foolishness and devote that energy to becoming one of the best bands in the State. It’s a great outfit already. o— Methodist ladies served a delicious and generous, turkey dinner to the Masons Thursday night at the Junior Woman’s , Club building at the base. It was while I sneaked in the kitchen that one of ’em said, “My, won’t we be glad when we have a kitchen and dining room at the church.” Here’s another one who will be glad if the meal they served Thursday is a sample. The banquet was a delightful affair, with Leon Gray, superintendent of Oxford Orphanage, presenting a splendid address on “Peace”. In this regard he said, “We will have peace when you and I are willing to pay thp price of peace in our lives.” 4 [I Kidneys Must I K Work Wel!-| For You To Feel Veil 24 hours every day, 7 days every week, never stopping, the kidneys filter waste ipatter from the blood. If more people were aware of how the kidneys must constantly remove sur plus fluid, excess acids and other matter that cannot stay in the blood without injury to health, there would be better understanding of why the whole system is upset when kidneys fail to function properly. % Burning, scanty or too frequent urina tion sometimes warns that something is wrong. You may suffer nagging back ache, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic pains, getting up at nights, swelling. Why not try Doan’s Pills'! You will be using a medicine recommended the country over.
