THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT
THE GOOD LIFE REQUIRES ALERTNESS: Blessed
are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh shall
find watching; verily I say unto you, that he shall gird
himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will
come forth and serve them. —Luke 12:37.
We’re Proud Os ’Em!
Though the writer has no children in the Edenton High
School Band, it is hardly possible for any parents of band
members to feel any prouder of the group of local
youngsters. According to reports coming from Eliza
beth City, the Edenton boys and girls last week virtu
ally outdid themselves something on the order of a foot
ball team which sometimes enters a gridiron struggle by
far the underdog and emerges victorious over a foe cal
culated to be many touchdowns the better team.
Resplendent in their uniforms and playing and per
forming like seasoned veterans, the Edenton Band more
or less stole a goodly portion of the show in the Tide
water Albemarle Music Festival, in which they com
peted with high school bands from Eastern North Caro
lina and Virginia. All along the line of march in the
parade the Edenton outfit was greeted with rounds of
applause, as was the case in other activities in connec
tion with the festival.
Even before the splendid showing in Elizabeth City,
the writer has been proud of the band, and often as the
youngsters parade or play for various occasions, chills
virtually creep up and down the spine, caused by a feel
ing of pride and appreciation for a band which is not
only a credit to the school but Edenton as a whole.
The band has made phenomenal progress, which re
flects the ability of Director Howard Williams to train
young people, and by the same token it reflects the fact
that among Edenton’s and Chowan County’s boys and
girls there is talent, determination and stick-to-itiveness
which not only will develop into a band of the highest
calibre, but which attributes will go a long way toward
the making of worthwhile men and women—citizens of
tomorrow, if you please.
The Herald is proud of the band and congratulates Di
rector Williams and the band members themselves for
their splendid performance in Elizabeth City, and looks
forward to having one of the best bands in the State.
Money Well Spent
It is interesting to note that Chowan County exceeded
its quota in the recent cancer drive, when the quota was
$1,050 and contributions totaled $1,076.22. The fact that
Chowan County people contributed enough to reach the
quota, which was more than S2OO over last year, reflects
the fact that people in Chowan are becoming more in
terested in the fight against cancer.
Cancer is just as great an enemy to mankind as tu
berculosis, infantile paralysis or other diseases. It, too,
is no respector of persons and there is no way of cal
culating the untold pain and misery it causes.
At one time, the word cancer was whispered. There
was a taboo, a mystery connected with the very word.
Discussion was limited to small groups. If a man died
of cancer, it was hushed up as if he had committed a
crime or shameful act.
The taboo is gone now. It exists only among the gross
ly ill-informed. The hush-hush of cancer has been con
verted to the open discussion of cancer dangers.
But even today too few people realize that cancer kills
more people than pneumonia and tuberculosis combined.
Few people realize that in a single year cancer kills
more Americans than did the war in its four years.
Would that the time will soon come when the mystery
of the cause of cancer and its ultimate cure will have
been fathomed, and any money contributed toward this
cause is money well spent. No one knows when the
deadly fangs of the disease will invade one’s own
threshold.

Heard & Seen
By “Buff”
i..—
Somebody who made up The Herald last week must
think Herald readers are mind readers. On one of the
pages was a card of thanks, placed in the paper by Mrs.
Buff, who wanted to thank the many folks who sent her
flowers, cards, letters and rendered other kind deeds
while she was a patient in Chowan Hospital. The
scudder who put in the type left off the signature “Mrs.
J. Edwin Bufflap”, the line of type for which was found
on the composing stone Thursday morning. At any
rate, she, as well as myself, appreciates the many
flowers. All of them were simply beautiful, and es
pecially the roses sent by Mr. and Mrs. McKay.Wash
ington. They were as beautiful as any florist could
raise. Both of us again express our sincere thanks to
Jimmy Manning and Vernon Barrow, who donated their
blood for transfusions, as well as all the many kind
words and deeds during and since hospitalization. It
is at such times that one realizes the value of friends—
as I said a number of times, I’d not trade my friends
for all the money in the world.
I always gave Arthur Hollowell credit for being a
truthful man, but I’m about to change my mind, all be
cause of a post card he sent from High Point, where
he attended the Great Council meeting of Red Men.
“Having a good time and getting lots of sleep”, wrote
Friend Arthur on the card. The last part of the
sentence is what puts me in doubt of his truthfulness.
Either he’s telling me a darned lie, or else he’s not at
tending a Red Men’s Convention. However, he usually
catches up on some sleep on the way home when some
body else is driving the car and maybe that’s what he
had reference to. Anyway, I’ll get a full report from
Jim Daniels, Louis Francis and George T. White.
o
A beautiful Masonic tie clasp was found at Chowan
Hospital by Mrs. Linton Jackson, which is now on my
desk. Mrs. Jackson thought I lost it, but I didn’t, so if
the owner wants the tie clasp, see me and help to find
it somewhere on my desk.
———o
Dick Hines informed me just as The Herald was go
ing to press that electricity will be cut off in Edenton
next Sunday morning from sto 7 o’clock. The Virginia
Electric Power Company will be making repairs to the
local sub-station in Edenton between those hours, so if
anyone makes toast or coffee that early, they better get
up an hour or so earlier, or snooze a little longer.
o
Another recent daddy, Doc Martin Wisely, has been
removed from my list of debtors. He sent in two cigars,
so that, no doubt, he “paid in advance.” In sending the.
cigars, he said he was doing so in order for me to keep
my mouth shut. Os course, I’ll have to keep my mouth
shut while I’m smoking the stogies and maybe somebody
else will hold their nose shut while I’m doing it. Any
way, t’anks, Doc. Now who’s next?
—o
I’ve never seen a happier group of men than at the
Red Men’s meeting Monday night when members of
Chow'an Tribe met for the first time in their new wig
wam in the building on Broad Street next to the Broad
Street Fish Market. The Red Men have been shoved
around since they were obliged to vacate the Bank of
Edenton Building, so that several months ago they pur
chased a building, had it practically rebuilt from .top to
bottom and stem to stern, and now have a very nice
meeting place of their own. It is the first time in the
history of Redmanship in Edenton that the local Red
Men have owned their own home and, incidentally, ex
cept for the Edenton Tea Party Chapter of the DAR,
which organization recently purchased the Iredell house,
it is the only other Edenton organization which can
boast owning its own building. In appreciation for the
progress, an appropriate prayer was offered at Monday
night’s meeting by W. C. Hollowell, and the tribe, no
doubt, in the near future will have a fitting dedication
ceremony. The Red Men are in debt, but it’s quite a
consolation to be in their owm home, and the members
will say so.
Maybe business methods have changed some. At least
one fellow thinks so after an experience the other day.
He went into a store aod after what he wanted was
wrapped up, he said, “Charge it, please.” However, the
clerk wasn’t long in replying, “Why, you don’t have a
charge account with, us.” The fellow, sort of surprised,
replied, “I know, but I’m starting one now.” It so hap
pened, though, that he didn’t start one.

Interest in the 1949 corn-growing contest between North Carolina and Virginia is growing by leaps
and bounds. Farmers from both States r.re enrolling, anxious to increase their own com yields and
to help their respective States come out on top. The exhibit shown above is being displayed in various
localities. In the center appears the trrthy which will be presented to the winning State by the Corn
Committees of North Carolina and Virginia. It is donated by The National Fertilizer Association.
Baptists Urged To
Raise Two Million
Stirring Address Made
By Horace Easom
Friday Night
Representatives of Baptist churches
in this area, listened to a stirring ad
dress by Horace Easom at a meeting
held in Hotel Joseph Hewes Friday
night. Mr. Easom, State director of
the Baptist Convention Program for
Wake Forest College to raise two
million dollars for relocation and en
largement of Wake Forest College at
Winston-Salem, said, “There has
never been a greater Christian educa
tion offer than the one now being
promoted at Wake Forest.”
The $2,000,000 fund is necessary to
benefit by a huge Reynolds gift and
the speaker said, “A great tidal wave
has come to Baptist Christian educa
tion in North Carolina and has swept
forward on the crest of the wave. God
is calling all of us to take stock and
invest in this glorious opportunity and
to keep this Christian education for
ever on the crest of the wave. Two
ways of life have met, the Christian
and the Communist, pagan, Godless
way and we must push this Godless
way of life back.”
Mr. Easom said Wake Forest now
has the deed for 600 acres, together
with a gift of $12,000,000 with no
brings attached and, of course, urged
his listeners to work toward the goal
of $2,000,000 to be raised through the
Baptist churches.
Dr. Ronald E. Wall, pastor of the
Blackwell Memorial Baptist Church
of Elizabeth City, presided over the
meeting.
IN MEMORIAM
In sad but loving memory of our
dear wife and mother, Blannie R.
Copeland, who passed away one year
ago today, May 19,' 1948:
Sad but expected was the call
Os one so dearly loved by all;
Your memory is as sweet today
As in the hour you passed away.
We watched her slowly fade away,
We could not keep her here;
With aching heart we had to part
With one we loved so dear.
We sit and think of you, dear one,
And think of how you died;
It was so sad you could not speak
to us
Before you passed to the other side.
You shall never be forgotten,
Never shall your memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts will always linger
Around the grave where you are laid
—Devoted Husband, Richard Cope
land and Sons, Carroll and Harold.
