More than 100 war veterans attended the affair and during the meeting a number of veterans renewed their membership in the Post and others who heretofore had not been members joined the organization. John Graham, commander of the Post, was very well pleased with the meeting and expressed his apprecia tion to those who were responsible for the delightful occasion. The commit tee arranging the supper included Richard Davis, Tom Francis, Troy Toppin, Irving Bunch, Fred White, Jr., Wesley Chesson, Hal Davis, Eph raim Forehand, Carrol Byrum, Paul Byrum, Willis McClenny and Elton Jordan. Others who contributed food and other services were Betram Byrum, Titus Chappell, Heavy Deßlois, J. I. Boyce and J. Bertram Hollowell. Robert L. Pratt was winner of the door prize. The Post is becoming very active of late and interest in the organization and its activities is now at a high pitch. TRY A HERALD CLASSIFIED AD!

Very Lively Meeting Lions Club Holds (Continued From Page One) Hector Lupton, president of the Club, stated “I have never before seen a 1 father-and-eon induction into this club. It is a new experience and I am glad that Mr. Byrum consented to act in this capacity. iWest Byrum • has served the club well. He was the second president and has never relin quished his keen interest. iWe should all be better Lions because of what we have seen and heard here tonight.” Ernest Ward, Jr., assisted with the initiation and injected his usual bit of fun and humor into the occasion. Scott Harrell gave a very interest ing 3-minute talk on the subject of a sw r i turning pool. “I am not suggest ing that this be accomplished at once,” said Harrell, “but am bringing it to the attention of the Club for serious consideration and future action. We have plenty of water, but none suit able for swimming, due to contamina tion. We owe this to our children and ourselves.” Dr. Wallace Griffin explained that the club sponsored such a project and it was about to be realized in 1941, through the help of the WPA, but this had to be dropped from considera tion due to the outbreak of war. He expressed the hope that such a project could be undertaken in the future when conditions become more favor able to the venture. Ravenel Holland, famed for his dry humor and rare witticism, offered a motion that the club amend the by laws to permit the awarding of a “certificate to fatherless Lions.” “I notice that every time some Lion becomes the daddy of a young ‘cub’ he proudly passes around cigars, the small group of us who have not been thus blessed are invariably subjected to a round of ‘ribbing 1 . “We have been good-natured and long suffering about this,” said Holland, “but I think it high time that we receive some form of certificate that will entitle us to one year of surcease at the hands of our well-intentioned breth ren”. The motion was lost in a gale of laughter. Volume I, No. 2, of the weekly bul letin, “The Lion” appeared at each .plate. It sets forth a good description of the plans for the building of the Lions International City, which is now in the course of construction near Chi cago. The local club donated $50.00 towards this work. A sprightly car toon lends zest to the bulletin. 87 JAILED IN JANUARY Chowan County’s jail apparently was a popular place during January, when 87 persons spent frt>m one to 30 days in confinement. The cost amounted to $279.81, which included jail and turnkey fees. THE CHOWAN HERALD EDENTON, N. Q, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1960.

Edwards has appealed to members to “make an extra effort” to attend the 14th annual state-wide l convention in Releigh, February 12-16 inclusive. “The yearly meeting provides Farm Bureau members with the organiza tion’s leadership and receive first hand information on our agricultural problems,” Edwards said. “It’s easy to stay at home and think of the past, , but a militant farm group must have ; members who come out to such meet ings and help to plan for the future.” Edwards said he hoped this year’s , convention would attract a record crowd because of the importance of a well-informed membership in Farm Bureau’s efforts to promote “equality for agriculture.” He added that the outstanding array of speakers schedul ed for the meeting promises unusually interesting sessions. Rotary Club Enjoys Centennial Chorus Edenton Rotarians enjoyed a splen did program at last week’s meeting when a program was presented by the famous Centennial Chrous. The group sang a series of numbers which brought rounds of applause, result ing in a number of encores. The general opinion was that it was the best unusual program ever heard by the Rotary Club. The Chorus sang at the Edenton school Friday morning before departing. ,>•♦♦>♦♦>♦♦♦<<•♦♦<♦<♦♦♦♦>♦♦*♦>♦♦*<<<♦<#<>♦♦♦♦♦>♦♦♦♦>, W e have all of your Baby Chick ! I needs . . Waterers, Feeders, Pills, !!
