An American version of “What Every Woman Knows has just been enacted in “real life” in La Crosse, Wis consin. Sir James Barrie’s thesis that a woman is back of every man’s success has taken, however, a new twist in La Crosse. And fairness is served thereby. In this story, the cause of the success of the Man o the Year” is a woman, but so is the “Man of the Y ear Mrs. Alf Gundersen won that title and a plaque awarded by the Chamber of Commerce for distinction in local civic tiff sirs. Some may say that the La Crosse chamber should ne\ - er have assumed that the only persons likely to qualify for the award would be men. The chances are, however, that the chamber never assumed anything of the sort. Being largely composed of male members, it momentarily forgot the existence of the opposite sex. But one must admit that the male element in this case has made handsome amends. For it has not only ad mitted that a woman is the “person of the year” but even permitted that person to be called the “man” of the year. The male of the species may err but its repent ance is always truly touching. And that, too, is what every woman knows. —Christian Science Monitor. —1 SPECIAL EE A TURF!

C. , I *■ "■ '■ - THE CHOWAN HERALD EPEMTON, N. O, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 23, IMO_ — ■ Heard & Seen By “Buff” I lost my nerve Thursday of last week yes, sir, I lost ,my nerve! Several colored men were busy as bees cut ting down trees and bushes at the Cupola House while some of the ladies *at complacently on the porch. I walked over with the intention of saying what some of ’em have said to me on various occasions about trees, but . . . yep, I lost my nerve. Anyway, some of the old bushes are gone and the yard looks sort o’ bare, but a truck was parked in front of the Cupola House filled with all kinds of bushes and shrubbery, which will replace those which were cut down. Oh, well, it all goes to show that it is simply the way one looks at things in connec tion with improving the old town. o When it comes to persistency, Mayor Leroy Haskett has it The other day he went home with an armful of chitterlings and visioned a good square meal. But the Missus promptly threw a monkey wrench in the works when she stumped her foot on the floor and said, “You’re not going to cook those things in my kitchen. The Mayor pouted as his spirits dropped and after sitting around for a while with his chin hanging on his chest, he gathered the things together and went to his farm. There in the open he dumped the things in a big iron kettle, gathered some wood and proceeded to cook them. His mouth watered and every once in a while he used a stick to pick out a hunk to taste. In fact, he went through that procedure so often that when the bloomin’ things should have been cooked, there were no more left in the kettle. But he came home all smiles, for he had a belly full of chitterlings. Nope, I haven’t been hungry enough or worked up enpugh nerve to taste the things up to now. For my part, they can give ’em back to the hogs. I’ll take mine in ham. And incidentally, Edgar Pearce thought I didn’t hear him the other night when he said he was going to give me a mess one of these days. o And speaking about ham, the ladies who feed the Ro tarians pulled a surprise the other Thursday. It i3n’t unusual for them to pass around potatoes, beans or other things on the menu a second time, but country ham is closely guarded. However, much to my and other Ro tarians’ surprise a plate full of ham made its way around the table. Very few of the boys let the plate pass by, so I’m not the only one who likes good ole country ham. Every now and then I read something about move ments on foot to curb moving pictures deemed unfit for children (some of ’em are not fit for adults). But while in Richmond over the week-end I attended a movie and I’ve about come to the conclusion that the movie indus try should sponsor a school to teach players in western pictures to shoot straight. Why I saw some guys on the screen shooting up a storm at close range and not a single one dropped from his horse. It just don’t make sense. They ought to use pop-guns. o : Mrs. William Sexton presented her husband a real Valentine on February 14 in way of a bouncing baby boy. Bill celebrated by going fishing. He didn’t go fishing for fish, however, but fished around to get up enough bucks to pay the Doc. That’s four youngsters for Bill and he hasn’t shelled out a single cigar. What’s he fig uring on doing—wait until he owes me a whole brx? Then Joe Conger, Jr., should take along a box of cigars at the Rotary meeting today, for he, too, is now a pappy. o Speaking of eating, the youngsters in the Primary De partment of the Methodist Church School were served light refreshments the other Sunday morning in their classes. Gosh, maybe they’re getting around to serving something to eat at church services. That ought to bring some of ’em out, especially on Sunday nights. Edenton Lions Club Proud Os Its Baby Club At Colerain New Club Expected to Be One of Most Ac tive In Area When John Campbell and his hardy ! pioneering followers set sail from their home on the River IBann in Ire land some 300 years ago, they were seeking a domicile in Ithe new world comparable to the one they were leev* ing. Yes, they sought a home situated upon a beautiful river, which might abound in various species of fishes, such as shad, herring, rock et cetera, similar to the ones they were depart ing from. This they finally'found on the banks of the Chowan River in what is now Bertie County. They moored their vessels and came ashore to, prospect. So pleased were they with tllis lovely spot that they decided to settle there. They named it Colerain in honor of its Irish counterpart.

Consequently, West Leary, zone chairman, Leroy Haskett and several other members of the Edenton Club went over the river and conversed with a group of representative citizens at Colerain. As a result of these efforts, Cole rain can now boast being the “cub” Lions Club in this zone and the Eden ton Club can be justly proud of the accomplishment, for the people of i Colerain never do things by halves. !
