THURSDAY, MAY 17, i9si- We Should Have More Many comments heard by newspaper folk who attended the spring meeting of the Eastern North Carolina Press Association held in Edenton Friday and Saturday again reflects the friendliness and hospitality of Edenton. These newspaper people came here from many sections of the eastern part of the state and very complimentary remarks were heard regarding treatment received at Hotel Joseph Hewes, the splendid dinner served by Mrs. W. L. Boswell and the hospitality in general accorded them while in their midst. The climax of a very enjoyable meeting was pro vided by Mrs. Inglis and John Fletcher, who very graciously invited the entire group to be their guests at Bandon on Saturday afternoon. The very popu lar couple went all-out to entertain their large group of guests, with Mr. Fletcher meeting the cars as they arrived and extending a cordial greeting “Wel come to Bandon” as they approached the house, where they were met by Mrs. Fletcher. A delicious meal was served with a group of as sistants seeing to it that nobody went lacking. Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher, too, moved around the spacious j yard in an effort to make their guests feel wel come. To say the least, the popular couple won the hearts of all of the newspaper people. As one of the host newspapers, The Herald was very proud to have the newspaper folk in our midst, and is very proud of the fact that they went away high in praise of the beauty, friendliness and hos pitality they found here. The meeting was a success from every angle, which bears out the contention that Edenton is just as good a place as any in North 'Carolina to stage small conventions. We should have more of them. Not So Bad Entering organized baseball for the first the Edenton Colonials are not doing so bad. As of Wednesday they were trailing Suffolk only one full game for the lead in the Virginia League. No fan should expect a team to win every game and thus far the Colonials have better than broken even. The boys have been playing a good brand of baseball, but even at that attendance could have been better. With the prospect of warmer nights, fans should turn out in greater numbers. Let’s all support the Colonials. Help To Save Lives For several weeks news articles have appeared in The Herald relative to the Red Cross Bloodmobile which arrives in Edenton today (Thursday). Chair man George Alma Byrum has been calling attention to the great need of blood, which should not fall on deaf ears. $ Not only is there a great demand for blood in Korea, but more blood is used in the Chowan Hos pital than the average person realizes. This is the sixth visit of the bloodmobile and to date two per sons have contributed every time, they being Wil liam E. Bond and Beulah Privott. Others have been very faithful, but there are many who have shown no interest at all. It is a worthy cause, and requires only a few minutes of your time. There is no pain in connec tion with giving the blood, and one pint may mean the difference between life and death of a man in Korea or even here at home. Mr. Byrum points out that if any person has not registered but desires to donate blood, he or she, white or colored, may do so by coming to the ar mory today at any time it is convenient. If every person was as interested as the Marines at the local air station, Chowan would make a won derful contribution. Os the 49 Marines available, 43 of them plan to be at the armory this morning to donate a pint of blood. They are to be com mended for their interest and willingness to give blood. Probably they know something of its value. Some Os our gangsters are finding out that it is more dangerous not to answer questions than to operate their rackets. - Driving an automobile while drunk is about as serious a crime as a person can commit in this day of speed on the highways. m When you think of the taxes that defense cost, think of S&riin and what he would do to you. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 19K »■■■ Heard & Seen By “Buff” My hat’s off to Mrs. Inglis and John Fletcher for being such delightful hosts to the newspaper people at Bandon Saturday afternoon. “Squire” John (that’s how Mrs. Fletcher referred to him) was out in front of the house to Jreet the guests with “Wel come to Bandon,” and both “Squire” and Mrs. Fletcher apparently were as happy over the occa sion as the newspaper folk. “Squire” John, I learned, is somewhat of a “musician” for to get the group together for dinner, as well as for the speak ing, he grabbed a cow’s horn and made noise enough to attract attention. o*f course, a few times he evidently didn’t have his lips puckered just right and the “music” sounded more like a sneeze. But he was persistent enough to blow in the thing until the right sort of sound came out of it. A splendid meal was served and the popular couple won the hearts of the entire group. Here’s one who’s going to get up with the colored cook to find out how she cooked beans which, to me, almost outdid the country ham. In fact, I forgot all about etiquette and went back for a second helping. 0 Mrs. Bo Thomas accompanied Mrs. Josie Ruth Carr and Miss Clara Wheeler to 'Nags Head to spend the week-end. It was her first visit to Nags Head, and the way I hear it, she likes the place very much. Os course, she had to try her luck at fishing. Mrs. Thomas won the admiration of many of the newspaper people at Hotel Joseph Hewes last week, but she couldn’t win the admiration of the Nags Head sish —she didn’t catch any. Anyway, I promised to take her fishing some time, but if that’s her luck, what’s the need to go? 0 I was an agreeably surprised buddy one day last week when Mrs. Josie Ruth Carr, retiring presi dent of the Edenton BPW Club, came into The | Herald office. Under her arm she carried a good sied package which, after a while, she said was a present for me and all The Herald employees. It was given, she said, by the BPW Club as a small token of appreciation on the part of the club for my interest and cooperation in giving space to the club’s activities. The package was opened arid in it was a large box of first class candy. The whole Herald crew was invited to have some of it, and because my crowd evidently have sweet tooths, the candy soon vanished. To say the least, I greatly appreciate the present, but even more than that, the thought back of its presentation. Here’s one who is very anxious to cooperate with every local organization—candy or not. If I had the same kind of cooperation from every group as I have had with the BPW Club, maybe more organiza tions, as well as The Herald, would be more bene fitted. Let’s have the new§ —we’ll print it. O • Raleigh Hollowed, Jim Daniels and Arthur Hol lowed attended the Red Men’s Convention in High Point this week, and on Tuesday I received a card from Raleigh on which he wrote, “Sleep here is fine.” How in the dickens should he know? Who sleeps at a convention? At any rate, Mrs. Horace White and Mrs. E. J. Pruden accompanied them in order to attend the Pocahontas meeting, so that I’ll get a more detailed report later on. I had to miss the “party”, for two conventions in straight running is just too much for me —even if “sleep is fine.” That gang will discover that “sleep is also fine” in Edenton after they get home. Maybe my time to go fishing is getting a little closer. My fishing partner, Frank Hughes, who has been shut up for several weeks due to illness, is making some progress. He is now downstairs, al though still in bed. That means that he’s just a little closer to the fishing grounds. When he’s able to get about, we’re going to celebrate by trying our luck. I know he’d feel fifty per cent better if he could pud up a few speckled perch. The baseball bug is now crawling. Town Coun cil’s meeting on Tuesday night was shoved up to 7 o’clock instead of 8 o’clock. Why? Wed a ball game was on tap out on Hicks Field. Despite a lot of business, the meeting was ended in time to allow the Councilmen to see a few innings, at least, of the game with Suffolk. What’s the matter with the weather man, anyhow? Very few' nights thus far have been real baseball nights. If it keeps up maybe the boys could sell more hot coffee than cold pop. Anyway, let’s back up the Colonials and hope they get in first place in the league. The Varsity Club had a big banquet in the'arm ory Monday night, at which Coach Everett Case of State Codege and outstanding athletes were guests. The purpose was to honor high school athletes, and at the same time they heard some good advice from Coach Case. This annual sports banquet causes a lot of work for Varsity Club members, but it is worthwhile in promoting interest in clean sports and honoring those who participate in them. 0 The Red Cross bloodmobile will be at the Eden ton armory today (Thursday). Have you done your duty in donating a pint of blood? , Tabe a les son from the group of Marines who will be there. Vote Is Canvassed fly Town Council Candidates Become Of ficial at Special Meet ins: Saturday Edenton’s Town Council met in special session Saturday morning, when the vote was canvassed in the municipal election held Tuesday of last week.

Ashley, who is the son of Mr.' and Mrs. Archie Ashley, re turns home a hero, having been award ed the Purple 'Heart, Silver Star and Bronze Star with a line company com mendation. He was wounded four times on the Korean war front. The club presented Miss Evelyn Leary, news service chairman, a set of gold cuff links and The Chowan Herald a box of candy, in appreciation for their cooperation during the past year. Members of the club were reminded of the State Convention to be held in Asheville on June 8-11. A $25 gift will be presented by the club to the most outstanding high school student the past year. “The Three Bows”, composed of Grace Hudson, Frances Bennett and Juanita Bennett, sang several delight ful numbers.
