Many Should Join With the local Chamber of Commerce reorganized, ma chinery has been put in motion for the \operation of a much needed organization in Edenton. However, a suc cessful Chamber of Commerce cannot be conducted by only the president and board of directors. The coopera tion oif business concerns and individuals is necessary, so that attention is called to the membership drive which will get under way Friday. An effort will be made to contact every business con cern in the county, as well as many individuals to the end that a membership will result which will enable the Chamber of Commerce to function properly. It is not a one-man’s organization and to be of real value to the community funds are necessary, and the only way to rea lize funds is through membership fees. Edenton for some time has been in a very embarrass ing position. People have visited here and sought infor mation, but with no Chamber of Commerce, about the only information available was what might have been picked up from a passerby, and nine times out of ten the average person is unable to answer quesiions a.'ked. Undoubtedly some have left carrying with them the im pression that Edenton is a “one J horse” town. ■Many letters, too, are written seeking various kinds of information, and with no Chamber of Commerce it is ob vious that many have been unanswered. Edenton has always needed a Chamber of Commerce, but at this particular time, with the prospect of new comers coming here, .the need is even more keen. A Chamber of Commerce can be a great help and credit to a town, but its operation should not and will not be shouldered by a few. What benefits the town as a whole benefits the individuals who make up the town, and for that reason many members should be enrolled. Tell any person that she, or he, has charm and the chances are better that there will be charm. What people say is not important except to those who do the saying.

Marsh left shortly before Christmas to spend the holidays with his folks in Monroe, but was rather reluctant to leave due to the fact that h'e was invited to a dhitterling dinner and had to miss it. I asked‘him if he liked chdtterfings and he re plied, “I sure do.” Charlie Wood was sitting nearby at the Rotary Club meeting when the conversation wa4 go ing on, and he chimed in, too, that he also likes chitter lings, but, he added, “they are all right if they smell a little don’t like ’em to smell too weak.” Well, that smell business, no doubt, is what has caused me never to get hungry enough or get up enough nerve to taste the things. One of our local ladies happened to come in The Her ald office Monday and she took occasion to compliment me for' last week’s editorial comment about price con trols on food. I told her I was almost dumbfounded when I was soaked 85 cents a pound for stew beef and that steaks had jumped as high as $1.17 per pound. “Yes,” she agreed, “why even your favorite chitterlings have jumped to 65 cents per pound.” Well, so far as I am concerned they can boost the price of chitterlings to j $5.00 per pound—that’s one thing which will not affect me so far as the price of food (are the things considered food ?) is concerned. / World Day of Prayer will be observed in the Metho dist Church Friday, February 9, and one of the good ladies of the church handed me the following prayer: “Our Heavenly Father, we, Thy children, acknowledge we have not followed Thee as we should. We humbly repent and ask Thy forgiveness. We pray Thee to let Thy Divine Love flow through all Thy children, especi ally our world leaders. Dissolve all misunderstanding, greed and hate, and impel us to bring forth a just PEACE—now, in the name of our Father. Amen.’* Nothing lies beyond the reach of prayer exceipt that which lies outside the will of God, so that readers might clip the above prayer and fit it into their daily prjnyer life. o Already 10 days in January have slipped away and this s the month to list property for taxes. It is one of those things which too often is put off and at the last minute crowds flock around to be waited on and, of course, lose a lot of time. It will be advantageous to you and the list takers to attend to this matter at once. It has to be done and the sooner the better. c It just doesn’t seem the same to go around to the Court House and not see Eddie Spires in his office or chasing around looking after the building. Eddie is in the Norfolk General Hospital and here’s one who hopes he will recover, and that right soon.

Safety Important To Farm Families Getting work “safely done in 1951” is a resolution for the new year sug gested by C. W. Overman, farm agent in Chowan County for the State Col lege Extension Service. Safety, says the county agent, is not only thoroughly practical but also of great importance. It can be carried out by the whole family to the bene fit of all. The National Safety Council offers the following hints to be observed throughout the year: Check the farm and farm home to locate and remove hazards. Keep all shields and guards in place on machines. Handle poisons and explosives ex tra carefully, keeping them well label ed and out of reach of children. Regardless of the emergency, do not permit young children to operate or ride upon farm machinery. Be cautious in handling all farm animals. » Keep guns unloaded and out of reach of children. Encourage farm safety activities in all organizations. Be alert for safety 52 weaks of the year.
