THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT WE SERVE EITHER GOOD OR EVIL: And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should for sake the Lord, to serve other gods,—Josh. 24:16. • Welcome Back Home The Herald is happy to see any new business start in Edenton, but there is just a little more tinge of satisfac tion when one of the younger men of the community •embarks upon a new enterprise. Such is the case this week in the announcement of the opening of Colonial City Motors, an automobile concern headed by Ernest J. Ward, Jr. Young Ward returns to his home town after about 15 months in Leaksville-Spray, where he was executive secretary of the YMCA. in that capacity he learned to meet people and a» The Herald understands it, was meetings. Though physically handicapped, he graduated meetings. Though physically handi-1 capped, he graduated from Edenton High School and attended the UniVer- ■ sity of North Carolina. He is con-. seientious in anything he undertakes, j so that The Herald wishes him sue- J cess in his new venture. ' Worth Attending Os course, there are no professional actors in the cast, but The Herald is willing to venture the guess that any one who attends the Lions Club min strel and jubilee Friday night will en joy it as much or even more than they would a play in which profes sional actors perform. Not only will value be received by way of entertainment, but by attend ing one will also make a slight con tribution toward the Lions work among the blind of the county as well as the Edenton High School Band. The proceeds of the show will go to these two very worthy causes. Members of the cast have spent a considerable amount of time and ef fort to present a creditable show, so that they deserve the support of the community as a whole. Let’s give ’em a full house! Costs Nothing It is noted that the Edenton Jay cees plan to resume their scrap paper drive next Sunday afternoon. : It goes without saying that the Jaycees will appreciate any waste paper contri buted during the drive. It is one way of helping a young organization to make some progress without any out lay of money, and at the same time probably eliminate a fire hazard in some homes. Jaycees will collect paper between 1 and 3 o’clock, so if possible give, ’em a lift. Any paper should be put on porches or other places where it can be easily seen by the collectors, Few women understand the peculiar eating idiosyncracies of men—and vice versa. Speeding automobiles carry you 1 fast, where you want to go, but some-1 times they carry you faster Where you do not want to go.

Take for instance, the other day when Clarence Speight, Preacher Freeman and I arranged to * play a game. Friend Speight suggested that I drive around to his house and pick him up, when he lives only a few blocks from The Herald office. Then since the Marines have taken over the 6&se, parking is not allowed at any old place, so that golf players are obliged to park their cars at the club house, which is about a short block from the first hole. I’ve heard some of the boys say it’s too far to walk. But when they get to hitting the ball and sometimes walk half a mile or so trying to find the thing, and do about the same trick on nine holes —well what the heck—somebody must be “nerts”. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to ride a bicycle when play ing golf. Anyway, I played with a preacher, so that all I could say was “doggone”, “what the heck”, “holy smoke” or some other mild explosion of steam. Os course, facial expressions betrayed what any one of the three wanted to say a number of times. Nope, there was no such thing as a score.. o Sgt. J. A. Jones happened to find one of The Herald office doors open the other night, and in order'to keep from getting me out of bed, he went in, found the lock, and locked the door. Next morning I found a note m my desk reading something like this: “Dear Buff: Your front door (south side) found unlocked while making ! rounds. Can’t tell if your office has been disturbed ae- j cording to the looks of your desk. Why don’t you I straighten up your desk some time? How do youee r r | (find anything? If anything is miss jing, kindly notify Police Depart- , linent.” Note to Sergeant Jones' This I |is clean-up week, and IF I don’t go I i fishing, play golf or forget it, I’m I 'going to cooperate with clean-up I week and straighten up said desk. I which means that next week I’ll be I looking for something and will not be I able to find it. o Mrs. H. V. Bass is one who read this column last week. I had some thing to say about forgetting a piece of fruit cake on my birthday. “Don’t get excited over the fruit cake,” wrote Mrs. Bass, “you might get an April fool.” By heck, tomorrow is April Fool’s day, isn’t it? o My friend, the Rev. Harold Gilmer, was sort of under the weather sev eral days ago and when he felt just a wee bit better he rambled down street. He was telling me about feeling very- punk, so I asked him where he hurts. “What, man! he exclaimed, “Why, confound it all, I hurt all-over.” ()— Edenton must be progressing fast-, er than 1 know anything about, for the other night I heard a young lady tell another over the telephone that they should meet at the subway. 1 haven’t seen any subway construc tion but discovered the young lady was talking about the more or less enclosed walkway in front of the Belk-Tyler property. Incidentally, the brick walls for the new Belk-Tyler store are rapidly heading skyward. t-o Col. R. E. Hopper is the high knocker at the Marine Corps Air Station, but his authority apparently doesn’t affect him like it would a whole gang of some people I know. He’s the sort of fellow who doesn’t hold himself aloof, but instead wants to meet and become acquainted with Edenton people. He informed me that he and Mrs. Hopper will be de lighted to have people call at their ! home a\ any time, if they have met [ before or not. In other words, he led me to believe that the latchstring to 1 the door is always on the outside. THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, N. C. t THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1949.
