EJJWIN BUFFLAF Editot HECTOR LUPTON Advertising Manager Entered as second-class matter August 30, 1934, at the Post Office at Edenton, North Caro lina, under the act of March 3, 1879. Cards of thanks, obituaries, resolutions of respect, etc., will be charged for at regular advertising THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, thought OUR TIES ARE SPIRITUAL: For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven the same is my brother, and sister, and mother—Matt. 12.00. “A Youngster Shall Show Them” There is a verse in the Holy Scriptures which says “ a little child shall lead them”. Something of a similar line can be written in Chowan County, ‘a young ster shall show them”. This remark, of course, refers the work of the 4-H boys. It is interesting to note that in the 4-H Club corn growing contest sponsored by the Edenton Lions Club, the various projects averaged 82.3 bushels of corn per acre, with L. T. White carrying off the honors with a yield of 119 bushels from his one acre. , Then Aubrey Harrell, another 4-H Club boy, netted 2,406 pounds of peanuts from one acre this year, and as a result won a free trip to the national 4-H Club Con ffrOfS course 1 , C the 4-H Club boys are required to follow certain practices, some of which are not in accord wit old-timers who persist in adopting methods used by their fathers and even grandfathers. , , , Whether the “smart alec” methods used by the boys coincides with the ideas of their dads is beside the point The fact remains that these 4-H Chub boys prove with results that up-to-date farming methods pay dividends as to the size and quality of the crop, and necessarily greater cash income. , ~ , Old-time farmers may well sit up and take notice of the progress of the 4-H Clubbers, for in some cases, at least, the possibility is that the boys might be able to furnish profitable advice to their elders, despite the ad vantage of longer experience in the game.

O, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1948, j Heard & Seen ] By “Buff" I- M A person doesn’t have to be so very old to have an education or to be smart. Take little Jimmy Blythe, four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Blythe, for in stance. On Thanksgiving afternoon after his daddy returned from fishing a la W. E. Malone (he caught one fish), and the youngster pointed to his daddy’s automobile license plate and asked, “What is this?” His daddy replied 1-9-4-8 in order and then as the boy pointed to the lettering called out the letters spelling North Carqlina. Then Mr. Blythe asked the boy “What is that?”, hoping the boy would be able to reply “North Carolina”. Instead the chap piped up “an automobile license”. That ended the conversation and Mr. Blythe started to clean his fish. o I’m glad McKay Washington went hunting on Thanks giving day, for had his gun been at home, the chances are that I would have been shot. Mrs. Washington was enjoying the holiday at home, but on two different oc casions I asked her to go to her .store to get some couplings in order to get the heating equipment at the Methodist Church hooked up. Both times she very 1 pleasantly said she would gladly go to the stpre to try to get what was needed and finally the bloomin’ boiler was ready for use. At any rate her holiday was no doubt messed up a bit, so that I’m glad the gun was being used to shoot at quail instead of my rear view. In Peter Carlton’s Santa Claus column it states that Santa Claus will arrive Friday. This is one of the items held over from last week, so that it does not mean Santa will come on Friday again. He came Friday and a big crowd of youngsters was on hand to greet him. Os course, some of the kiddies would like to see the jolly old fellow come more often than he does. And speaking about Santa Claus, Izzy Campen has finally realized one’ of his ambitions. Many times he has taken the role of Santa Claus, but up until thi3 year he’s always been obliged to stick a pillotv under his coat to make a big belly. He’s now equipped with a “bay window” large enough that he doesn’t need any packing either fore or aft. And incidentally, I don’t know anybody who would make a better Santa Claus than Izzy. Members of the American Legion Club have an nounced that the club house at the base has been closed, so that there will be no more dances sponsored by the club. The affairs have been very popular and were the source of a lot of pleasure. The club has had a nice set-up at the base, but the Legionnaires as well as the whole she-bang at the base will soon have to be out to make way for the Marines. Eden Theatre] EDENTON, N. C.

That Mrs. Carolyn Grant, the for mer Miss Carolyn McMullan, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. McMullan, : appreciates the response to her ap ; peal for unfortunate 'children in i France, where she is now residing, ! is reflected in a brief note to the ; editor of The Herald. Mrs. Grant’s appeal for shoes was printed in The Herald and was res ponded to by the Rotary Club by sending a shipment of shoes. Mrs. Grant’s brief letter of ap preciation, received this week, follows: “Dear Mr. Bufflap, Taking for 1 granted that you are a Rotarian, I included a message for you in my letter of thanks to the Rotary Club. But in case I was wrong and you’re not, I want to make sure you receive J my thanks for your cooperation in the shoe request. Your editorial paragraph was very thoughtful. “ The Rotarians responded almost . immediately and so many nice shoes , arrived. Thanks very much.” “Carolyn Grant.” - 1 1 Masons Will Choose New Officers Tonight At the meeting tonight (Thursday) of Unanimity Lodge, No. 7, A. F. & A.
