THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1949. ~ THIS WEEK’SBIBLE THOUGHT THE SUPREME TEST: Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends, lohn 15:::;. Worth Trying Although not all of Edenton’s stores are cooperating, it is interesting to note the number which have joined in the idea of staging dollar days which will be observed Friday and Saturday. While some attractive bargains are offered, the principal reason for the event, The Herald takes it, is to encourage trading in Edenton not only Friday and Saturday, but every day throughout the year. The Herald hopes those merchants who are cooperat ing in the Dollar Days will realize some beneficial re sults and that the event will be an annual affair. Shoppers will trade in Edenton if they find what they want at a reasonable price and are treated courteously. Dollar Days is one way of helping to bring this about. All Are Satisfied Edenton now .has a new Chief of Police in the person of George I. Dail, who served in the same capacity a few years ago. For fear that there might be some misunder standing among Edenton people because Mr. Dail suc ceeds R. L. Pratt, The Herald hastens to say that the change was made with the full accord of Mr. Pratt. As a matter of fact, the need for an extra patrolman has been apparent for some time, and Mr. Pratt himself made the suggestion that if Mr. Dail could be employed, he would gladly step down in favor of Mr. Dail in order to be relieved of the Chief of Police responsibilities. Mr. Pratt is thoroughly satisfied with the change, the patrolmen welcome Mr. Dail back as their Chief, and Town Council believes the Police Department will be operated under an able and efficient manner by Chief Dail. We’re Proud Os ’Em Edenton’s Colonials have reflected credit not only upon themselves but the town as well, as the result of their success in winning the Albemarle League pennant. How ever, even had they not won the pennant, the town as a whole has every reason to be proud of them. The Colonials not only played a good brand of base ball, but they conducted themselves in such a manner as to set an example for the youth of our town, some of whom almost worship a good baseball player. It isn’t unusual to find in a group of baseball players a rowdy-type of young fellow or some who have no respect for others, young and old. Such was not the case with this year’s Colonials, for each one has been every inch a gentleman, so far as The Herald knows, s !oo,oofrfces 25 | 4 door Custom V-8 Ford Sedans, equipped with Radios, "Magic £ ~ Air" Heaters, Overdrives, and £ White Sidewall Tires.

Words fail me to express my appreciation for so many kind nesses during the illness and death of my wife. Floods of sympathy cards, telegrams, letters and personal ex pressions have been extended to me and my son and daughter, and besides so many kind deeds have been done that the burden has been made somewhat lighter to bear. In fact, in a lonely house much of my spare time will be devoted to reading the soothing messages which have been sent. It will be without doubt quite a consolation to realize how many friends share one’s sorrow. It is really surprising, too, how words can be arranged to formulate such beautiful expressions of sympathy which go a long way when one is faced with sorrow. As I have said on several occasions, I would not trade for any amount of worldly goods the friends I am proud to have. One of my wishes is that I can in some way show my appreciation for this friendship. Os course, there has been betting of various kinds at the baseball games this summer, and some of them were out of the ordinary. For instance, Joe Webb and Palm er Tynch bet a down-town Coca-Cola the other night on the game. Byway of explanation, a down-town Coca Cola costs a nickel, while if you drink one at a baseball game it costs you a dime. <i Bob Pratt has just become the daddy of another son, but methinks he’s forgotten something. As a matter of fact when passing The Herald office he has his mind so much on the parking meter in front of my car that he’s forgotten to pass out a cigar. And then O.bie Brown hasn’t “paid up” either. In fact, there’s been so many increases lately that I’m having a hard time keeping up with ’em. o G. W. Wallace, who is visiting his son and daughter in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wallace, dropped in the office the other day to tell me he hasn’t been fishing since he’s been here. Well, he hasn’t much on me, for while I haven’t been fishing for several months, I went “boat riding” Monday morning. (The bloomin’ fish just would not bite.) I’ve been spending right much of my spare time at the “farm”—carrying a bag on my shoulder and walking all over the place. Crops good? I don’t know, I haven't seen any—except the mosquito crop. o Major W. R. Lucius is a very economical person. The other night he was itching to go to the baseball game, thit somehow the Missus was not in the mood to go. He hinted around a bit, and finally Mrs. Lucius informed him he just couldn’t go. So the Major decided not to go, saying it costs too much, anyway. o In the adjoining column I said “the Colonials are now playing in a series for the Albemarle League champion ship. As this is written it is pouring down rain to post pone the game again. What I should have said is that Edenton and Colerain will play when it stops raining. which is worth more to the boys themselves and the community even if they had not won the perinant. The Colonials are now one of the two teams playing for the Albemarle League championship, and while The Herald hopes they are victorious, our hats 'are off to them as a fine group of young men—win orylose.

From a fire safety viewpoint, schools are usually structurally su perior to the average farm dwelling in that they have adequate exits. .3. Schools are well stocked with dependable first aid equipment in the form of Underwriters’ approved fire extinguishers. “Not every home can be built as fire-resistant as a school,” the agent said, “but all parents chn become more fire conscious.
