Overman, a cam paign to deal a death blow to rats will be held Wednes day, November 15. It is interesting to note that Cho wan, Bertie and Perquimans counties are cooperating in this war on rats, which should make the project more effective. The more people who cooperate in the campaign, the more good will result in ridding the communities of rats. In fact for some to put out poison and others not, only means that rats move their headquarters and in a short time will overrun the communities as before the cam paign started. There is no question about the great damage done by rats every year in town as well as on farms, so that there is no good reason why practically everybody should not join in the war on rats on November 15. There is practically no trouble in setting out the poison, for it will be already mixed and ready to be placed where rats are most likely to eat it. Th e cost, too, is so small com pared to damage done that there should be nobody who objects to paying SI.OO per package to get rid of the pests which do so much damage. Unsuspected Ability Present-day swimming teachers do not look with favor on the old-fashioned method of instruction which consisted of tossing a fellow into the creek and letting him paddle his way out. Cpl. Douglas G. Dykes, with the Marines in Korea, learned in a rather grand-scale version of that method. Stranded on a beach behind enemy lines, the corporal was one of a group of nine men who decided to swim for their ship, 1,500 yards out, rather than risk cap ture. Dykes made it, though he had never swum a stroke before. Probably more people could do the impassible if they didn’t stop to think they couldn’t. —Christian Science Monitor. Maybe when the Democrats- and Republicans begin their campaign oratory, the Russians will be convinced that the country is really divided after all. There is no use trying to regulate the world—unless you sh-st demonstrate that you can regulate and con trol yourself. You have to take people like you find them if you ex pect people to take you like you are. ~ ||flKte , NOW IS THE TIME TO THINK Hill WBwn are refurnishing, demand the $ \ smart simplicity ... the cas- I ual good giving atmosphere t ; centrated on .the best sources * ‘ ; i lISsHSy REMEMBER .. .

THE CHOWAN HERALD EDENTON, N.yiC., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1860 ■ i. i.n Heard & Seen By “Buff” - ' » ■ - * Bill Harry, boss out at the B. B. H. Motor Company, has a problem on his bands concerning growing grass. A portion of his yard is sandy soil and he says he’s unable to get any grass to grow on that particular spot. What he needs to do is to get some seed of the kind of grass which grows through cement sidewalks. Luther Ashley at the post office was chopping 40 me such grass Wed nesday morning, and even in front of The Herald office the 'bloomin’ grass is growing between the sidewalk and the building. At any rate, Bill’s problem is altogether different from many of our farmers, who would give a pretty penny if grass would not grow in their sandy fields. ■ —O Tonight (ThursdayUthe ladies of the Edenton Tea Party Chapter of the DAR will stage a game party in the James Iredell house on East Queen Street. “(Bridge, canasta or whatever you like to .play!” say the ladies. However, I don't reckon there will be any tables for the poker players. The party commemorates the 176th anniversary of the famous Edenton Tea Party held in 1774, and is being held in an effort tp raise some money to apply to the indebtedness on the property, which was purchased by the local chapter. Anybody who likes to play cards should attend and help along a worthy cause. o Shucks, they say I am a big eater, but I’m giving way to Sam Allen especially as far as a fish fry is concerned. I sat beside Sam at a fish fry Wednesday night of last week which was held by the Young Adult Bible Class of the Methodist Church at the Williford Funeral Home. I lost track of how many helpings Sam had and I could hardly see him due to bones piled up on his plate. He finally quit eating, not because he was filled up, but because he felt ashamed due to still stuffing in fish af ter everybody else at the party had finished some time before. o With many more football games like the Edenton Aces uncorked last Friday night, there should be a boost of sales of heart remedies. The game wound up like the old dime novels with Buddy Cannady and Mack Privott taking the* parts, of heroes. With just four minutes re maining in the game, each of the 'boys scampered for a touchdown, putting the Aces ahead 26-20. It wasn’t even cold Friday night, but practically all fans at the game were on their feet, gasping and some of ’em shiv ering as if the mercury was around the freezing mark. The game was one of the best high school gridiron battles many of the fans have ever seen. And the best part of it is that the Aces came out on top. . o- ■ Local Red Men will stage a Halloween square dance in the armory Saturday night in an effort to raise money for the building fund. The Bertie Clodhoppers will fur nish the music. Horace White, who will, no doubt, do the major part of the work, says folks may come in full dress, shirt sleeves, overalls or any other way—justfc so they come. Os course, he bars any member of a nudist colony.
