ANGER INJURES YOU: But now ye also put off
all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy com
munication out of your mouth, —Col. 3:8.
Welcome, Visitors!
With favorable weather the latter part of this week,
members of the Junior Woman’s, Club, as well as other
interested people, are expecting a large number of
visitors Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the North
Carolina Home and Garden Tour, which is sponsored by
the Edenton Junior Woman’s Club.
In anticipation of the event, groups of ladies have
been working like Trojans to the end that nothing is
left undone to make the tour a wonderful success. It
is the first time, so far as The Herald knows, that
homes have been thrown open on such a scale for the
benefit of visitors. The Junior Woman s Club is to be
complimented for undertaking the sponsorship of the
tour and owners of Edenton and Chowan County s lus
torical shrines also deserve no little credit for placing
their homes at the disposal of the many visitors expect
ed to make the tour. With such a spirit of cooperation,
the venture should be successful.
The Herald can see nothing but credit coming from
the tour. Too long have we “hid our light under a
jasket”, and the belief is here advanced that many of
those who come to Edenton will be surprised and favor
ably impressed with what they will see. The tour ob
viously should bring about a great deal of favorable
publicity, and result in many more tourists coming to
Edenton who would, no doubt, not have known anything
about the old Colonial community had it not been for
the tour. ~ ■_
The Junior Woman’s Club, with Mrs. Jimmy Earn
hardt as chairman of the committee arranging the tour,
have worked long and hard in the interest of the week
end event, and their labors have been made somewhat
easier due to the wholehearted cooperation of so many
people. No little cleaning up has been done by many
citizens in an effort to present a clean and attractive
town to the visitors when they arrive and proceed over
the route to the show places on the program. Nature,
too,*is presenting a picture with many van-colored
blossoms in yards and gardens. Trees are budding forth
and the handiwork of the Maker of Nature is to be
seen on every hand.
With Edenton and Chowan County making its initial
participation in a Garden Club Tour, no efforts have
been spared to make proper preparation. By chance,
there may have been something overlooked, but one
thing is certain, Edenton is prepared to meet and wel
come the visitors, show them some of the charm of the
community to the end that those who come here will
carry away the good will of a splendid group of people
and, it is hoped, will want to return again.
The Herald is happy to see Edenton included in the
Garden Club Tour and joins with Edentonians generally
in extending a cordial welcome to the visitors who
come here for the occasion.

West Byrum as chairman of the Chowan County
Commissioners is not supposed to make a motion, but
he did so Monday at the monthly meeting of the Board.
Due to a term of Superior Court being in session, the
Commissioners gathered around the table in Register of
Deeds Maurice Bunch's office. West sort of felt his
chair giving away and jumping up before he had a
chance to fall, he said, “I make a motion the County
Commissioners buy a few new chairs. Arthur Hollo
well chimed in with “I second the motion,” for earlier
in the meeting Friend Arthur did more or less of a
iueeling act in order to maintain his equilibrium while
considering county matters. It’s a sure thing one new
chair will be needed, for when Chairman Byrum got to
his feet he “fixed” the chair so that nobody can ever
sit on it, let alone fall off. He didn’t have to use much
strength to crush the old chair and the last I saw ot
it, it was just a pile of kindling wood laying in the cor- i
ner of Maurice Bunch’s office.—

J. Clarence Leary must have become excited Monday
night when word came from Chowan Hospital that he
again’ became grandpappy. The news reached him a
short time before the Lions Club meeting and quick as
a flash he chased out of the house, bought a box ot
cigars and passed 'em around at the Lions Club meet"
ing Might not be a bad idea, for grandpappies ought
to be “penalized” some way. Then, too, Mrs. Leary is .
still all excited and says her new granddaughter is the
cutest baby she has ever seen. Why, of course. What
else do these grandmothers have to say about a new .
grandchild ? .

William Reeves, colored handy man around The
Herald office, turned up a little late for work the other
morning. I asked him if he was sick or what the
trouble was. “No trouble,” he said, “I was just having
a wonderful time. I was dreaming that I got hold of a
lot of money and I wanted to sleep as long as possible
so that I could enjoy it.” I didn’t hear any of it rattle
in his pockets, however.
o
I had a little consolation Tuesday night when I chas
ed up to the Court House to get the result of the April
term of Superior Court. As I entered Eddie Spires and
Mrs. Leon Leary were as busy as bees trying to get the
records and minutes of the court ready so Judge Leo
Carr could sign ’em the first thing Wednesday morning.
What gave me some consolation was the fact that I m
not the only one who gets In a jam and runs around in
circles in order to get out of a jam. The only difference
is that I have the same thing to go through every week,
while there are only a limited number of court sessions.
Anyway, despite the jam he was in Eddie and Mrs.
Leary took time out to fiumish me the information I
wanted. T’anks!

The sort of weather we’ve been having has put the
! fishing fever to work. So many bloomin’ ' fishermen
are in the creeks these days that if the Town votes out
the parking meters it might be a good jdea to put ’em
somewhere in the creeks. Did I hear someone say. “on
the bottom of the creek?”

All things come to him who waits, which was the case

pieces of fruit cake. It must be for a gang of birthdays.

“Now is a good time for all public

cially those located in areas visited by
summer tourists, to begin such im

a large volume of business,” Dr. J.
W. R. Norton, State Health Officer,
said, in a statement released this
week.
“There is every reason to believe
that North Carolina, this summer will
be visited by many more tourists
than came last year, when, unfortun
ately, there was an unusual outbreak
of infantile paralysis,” he continued.
“While we cannot, of course, pre
dict either epidemic or the absence
of them, we have every reason to be

in North Carolina this year will be
