Well Represented
Edenton is well represented in the Ocean Highway As
sociation, for not only are four motor courts members
of the association, but the town has two members on the
board of directors, Clyde Hollowell and John F. White.
The association is staging a battle to keep tourist traf
fic on Route 17, so that it needs the support of more
members who naturally benefit by traveling on this
route. Bids are being made by other routes for the traf
fic now using Route 17. The stronger the Ocean High
way Association is, the more improvements can be made
on the route to attract and keep the tourist traffic.
Mr. Hollowell has for several years been a director
and Mr. White was elected last week. In these two di
rectors Edentonians can, be assured that every effort
will be made to hold tourist traffic on Route 17 which,
of course, means traveling through Edenton.
More Blood Donors Needed
Since Marines have been stationed at the Edenton
Marine Corps Air Station, they have cooperated splen
didly with the local Red Cross blood program and have
donated in some instances almost 100 per cent.
According to George Alma Byrum, chairman of the
'Chowan County Red Cross blood program, the bloodmo
bile will be at the Edenton armory Thursday, May 29.
However, says Mr. Byrum, a separate visit of the blood
mobile will be made at the local base Friday, May 23, so
that Marine blood donations will not be availab’e in
Edenton. This means that many more civilians will have
to volunteer to donate a pint of blood if Chowan County
is to meet its quota of 150 pints.
Mr. Byrum emphasizes the fact that more blood is
needed at the local hospital and at the same time the
need for blood for wounded service men has not decreas
ed overseas.
There are many people in Edenton and Chowan County
who have unstintingly given blood upon each visit of the
bloodmobile, but now with the Marines’ blood given sep
arately the obligation rests entirely upon our own people
to rally to the appeal for blood which not only relieves
suffering, but saves precious lives as well.
It should not be necessary for Red Cross workers to
ferret out volunteers, both white and colored. There
surely should be at least 150 people in Chowan County
who are willing to give a pint of blood for the sake of
suffering humanity and if not contacted they should
visit the bloodmobile when it is in Edenton on May 29.
The thought occurs that this is an election year and,
therefore, you can discount whatever political speakers
say by about 90 per cent.
Some people never admit their error in anything but,
as time goes on, they fool fewer and fewer people.
People usually “haven’t got time” for unpleasant jobs,
even though time isn’t the problem.
The best way to get somewhere in life is to know
where you are going and get up sufficient steam for the
journey.
Life would be more pleasant if there were not so many
sapheaded individuals.
About the only net result of emotionalism is that the
speaker perspires freely.
Everyone has good traits, if you will take the time' to j
discover them. |

I met up with Frank Muth at the bug station Sunday.
A friend asked him, “Frank, you’ve fallen off some
haven’t you.’’ Frank replied, “No, I weigh about 178
pounds as usual. Maybe the difference is that I’ve
taken off my long underwear.”

I've never doubted the veracity of Jim IChestnutt, but
I came near doing it last Thursday. At the Rotary Club
he gave a detailed report of the recent Rotary district
meeting held in Burlington and in his remarks he said
a morning meeting was held at 9:30 o’clock. Who in the
dickens can get up at a convention early enough to go to
a meeting at that hour? Why, a lot of guys have had
just a few hours of sleep by that time.
—— -O” # \
Hill Harry also reported what had impressed him most
at his first district Rotary Convention, After A long list
of impressions Bill said. “I was impressed with the mile
age received in the automobile in which I rode to Burling
ton and back.” iWonder what kind of a car it was —he
sells Chevrolets, you know.
Here’s one who got off to a good start Wednesday
morning. As I entered the Post Office I was greeted toy
Dick Dixon, who wore a broad smile and poked a cigar
at me. He became the daddy of a son only a few hours •
before and either he had the cigars in advance or got
some merchant to open up early in order to buy ’em. He
“paid off” just as soon as I learned he was “indebted” to
me.
" o
I’ve read a little about Penelope Barker and if my im
pressions are about right, the distinguished lady of Co
lonial days got around a lot faster than the house now
is in which she lived. Anyway, here’s one who has to
drive all around town to get to and from work.
o
Ha! Looks like a good smoke for me in the offing.
Last week I received a letter from James Mitchener, who
is now located in 'Concord. He told me his wife gave
birth to a daughter and that he remembered not “pay
ing me off,” with a cigar when a son was 'bom two years
ago. “I will send you a cigar for each of the children,”
write James, “and one as interest for late payment.” In
cidentally, James said he saw in The 'Herald that several
Edenton people were in Concord several months ago: “If
this should happen again,” said James, “stop by to see us
because it is a real treat to see anyone from home and 1
link they will enjoy seeing our new 300-bed hospital.”
o
I, and I’m satisfied some others in Edenton, have been
conferred the title of “Country Squire” by Governor W.
Kerr Scott. The certificate bears the great seal of the
State of North Carolina and the Governor’s signature.
I’ve tried to find out what a “squire” is and in the dic
tionary I learn that in England it is a title of dignity next
in degree below knight and above gentleman. (Take note
you guys who think I’m a so-and-so). Anyway printed on
the certificate is the following:
“Reposing special trust and confidence in J. E. Bufflap,
I, Governor W. Kerr Scott, note that:
“He is one of the branch head boys, bom and bred in
the Tarheel State, who has quit draggin’ his feet and is
catchin’ up on his haulin’; and
“Whereas he has demonstrated that he is a tried and
true member of the rougher element and plows out to the
end of the row; and
“Whereas, he is versed in both the meaning and the
mystery of our significant and proudly proclaimed dates;
and
Whereas, he is forward-goin’ and has a natural han
kerin’ for Chittlin’s, possum and ’taters, lamb fries, pot-
Likker, corn pone barbecue and sas fras tea; I do
“Therefore proclaim him a Country Squire, entitled to
all the rights and privileges of this estate.”
Os course, I do not altogether qualify for the honor,
for I was not bom and bred a Tarheel. I became a Tar
heel of my own choosing. Then if I’d have to plow I
doubt if I’d ever reach the end of the row. I like to
think I’m forward-goin’ but if having a natural hankerin’
for chittlin’s and possum is a prerequisite to be a country
squire, I’ll have to be counted out.

The little boys who sell refreshments at the baseball
games are rather witty sometimes. The other night a
fan asked one of ’em if he had any chewing tobacco. “No
the boy replied, “but I have some snuff if you want it.” '
