THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1948. All Should Help With the approach of the holiday season, of course, also conies the usual effort to sell Christmas Seals, many of which will appear on letters or parcels sent through the mail. The little stamp in itself may be rather insignificant, but there is no way to estimate just how much good they have done. Like a drop of water in a bucket, one stamp does not mean so much when it is considered that in most cases only a penny was paid for it, .but when thousands are added together it isn’t hard to realize that a sizeable sum can be realized if enough people buy. It is generallly known that money derived from the sale of Christmas Seals goes toward fighting tuberculo sis, so that there should be no hesitancy in buying the seals. Many letters will go out throughout Chowan County in which will be included a batch of the seals. Those receiving these letters are urged to consider the importance of the appeal and remit for the seals at once. All too often these letters are laid aside and forgotten. Tuberculosis claims more deaths among people be tween the ages of 15 and 44 than any other disease, de- ’ spite the fact that the disease can be prevented, and it is well to know that money raised in Chowan County, for the most part, goes toward preventive work. Much of this work is in way of x-raying to discover tuberculo sis at its source, as well as an educational program, so that money raised through the sale of the seals could hardly go for a better cause. Tuberculosis is a com municable disease and, as so often repeated, it is no respecter of persons. Early symptoms are hard to detect, but with proper precaution and education this handicap will, eventually be overcome. The Chowan Tuberculosis and Health Association has been and is doing splendid work in the fight against tuberculosis. Their only means of securing funds is through the sale of Christmas Seals, so everybody in Chowan County is urged to buy as many as possible. Even if you help just a little—-it will be that much to ward the fight against a common enemy. Who’S As the result of a news item in Wednesday morninv newspapers coming from Washington to the effect that the Navy Department had decid°d not to reactivate the Edenton Naval Air Station, there was considerable concern. It is generally understood that the Mariper will occupv the local base shortly aft°r the first of the year and, in fact, only last week groups of Navy of ficials were at the base making investigations and stat ing that it is the desire to do as much work as possible this month toward getting the base in proper shape for occunancr hv the Marines. It is little wonder, then, that the news struck like a bomb and. of course. Mavor Torov WesVett and others immediatelv made the wires hot -fn contact Congressman Herbert Bonner in order to check on +bc accuracy of 1 r~~^ \ S&ra*\ 1\ // cm >\ E: _jiinmrMfflm!^”^^^iwSiMii^.j T Lii Ift HYDRVHvnr : -jWaESiaWMM driwa/ y 4 Product oj General Motors Above everything else.. a good ear! . Pontiac has one manufacturing principle which takes precedence over all others: Pontiac must always be a good car! There is no other motor car quality which people value so much as goodness. That’s why Pontiac engi neers and production specialists spend so much time and energy and money to insure Pontiac quality. Pontiac cars must last long— add they must last well— and they must function through the years with a minimum of upkeep cost. •General Motors Hydro-Made Drive and White Sidewall Tires and Bumper Guards eptioaal at additional cost.

The other day Eddie . Spires told me he ought to have at least $4.00 of it for all the trouble he went to in order to finish up the count, and he’s justified in his contention. But then Philip Mc- Mullan and Lyn Byrum, members of the €how;an County Board of Elections, say they ought to share in it, too, Philip giving as a reason that they selected the election officials at the various precincts who, after all, made it i possible for Chowan County to get in the first complete ] returns, and that claim is also justified. However, by ] the time I’d share the five bucks with all who deserve , some of it, I’d have about three cents left, enough to write a letter to the Associated Press, thanking them ; for the checjc. Gosh, I forgot all about the Collector of Internal Revenue, for if he knows about it, he’ll want a little slice also. Well, to eliminate an argument, I’ll cash the check and keep it all. O— — • Waitresses at the annual Home Demonstration (jlub banquet Thursday night were kept on the run keeping some of the eaters supplied with biscuits. The biscuits were brought in small baskets and about the time the baskets were placed on the table, the biscuits were gone. 1 Take farmers like Willie Saunders, Louis Francis, Ells worth Halsey, Percy Smith, Will Harrell, Lloyd Bunch — and some others, what is one or two biscuits? Next time the Home Demonstration Clubs have a banquet, the waitresses will save time and energy if they drag out the biscuits in peck baskets. * o There’s been plenty of fishing stories, but a very un usual one was told by Harry More, an old friend of C. P. Wales, who was here on a recent visit.' Mr. More says he was fishing for bream near Fort Meyer, Fla., where he lives and while pulling out his line to check on the bait, a 60-pound tarpon grabbed his hook, jumped in the boat, and knocked him around to such an extent that his hip was broken. Mr. More walked with some difficulty and on account of he’s a former newspaper man, it must be straight stuff. o ’ I understand the Masons are planning on having an oyster roast, which caused one of ’em to remark, “It’s hard to figure out how many oysters to buy because you can’t tell how elastic some of the Masons’ stomachs are.” Another replied, “Yea, some of ’em are empty clean down to their feet.” In that case Masons like W; J. Taylor, Charlie Overman, Paul Wallace and a few more will make it necessary to buy an extra few bushels. o At a meeting of the Rotary Club, Captain L. A. Pat terson had President Jim Wood announce -that he had four tickets to a Carolina football game which he wanted to get rid of. There was little interest until some bird asked, “Is he going to give ’em away?” All of a sudden almost the whole works became interested, and necks be gan to turn over in the direction where Captain Patter son was sitting. Nope, he wasn’t giving ’em away! o Passing by the ABC store late one night this week, I i looked in to see what time it was, but there was no light at the electric clock. My daughter asked, “Don’t they keep the clock lit?” Well, I don’t know if they dc or not but there’s enough stuff in the store for the clock or anybody else to get lit up. the report. Mr. Bonner at once contacted Washington and very shortly thereafter informed Mayor Haskett that the report was an error and that the reactivation of the Edenton base will go on as planned. This latter news will be comforting to many hereabout who welcome the reactivation of the base. In view of the latest report, however, it is more or less puzzling to understand how the report went out that the Edenton base will not be reactivated. It could be possible that the report of the error is also erroneous, but in view of the amount of interest manifested when the first re port became known, Edenton wants to see the base occupied by the Marines. Owners have been quick to appreciate this. Some of the testimonials they send to the factory, and to Pontiac dealers, tell of performance feats that seem almost impossible of attainment. Pontiac has many other outstanding virtues, of course. It is a wonderful performer. If is delightfully com fortable and easy to handle. It is a great beauty, and unusually distinctive in appearance. But its greatest virtue is goodness. This year, or any year, you just can’t beat it for faithful performance.
