A- Graham _ ins- selected as Edenton’s “Woman of the Year - ™e honor was bestowed upon Mrs. Graham by the Edenton Business and Professional Woman’s Club, which annually names Edenton’s No. 1 lady. Mrs Graham is entitled to the honor, for her activi ties in church work, social, patriotic, philanthropic, civic and business activities are well known, although she is very modest about what she does and to some degree carries out the injunction of Holy Writ in not letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing. Mrs. Graham’s helpful influence has been felt in many organizations, so that she is not only loved and respected in Edenton, but throughout the entire State. The honor is very befitting and The Herald is proud that Edenton can claim her as one of its citizens and especially as the “Woman of the Year.” Worthy Os Joining With the first Parent-Teacher Association meeting of the current year scheduled to be held Tuesday night, October 14, an appeal is being made for new members in the hope that the local school can boast a 100 per cent membership of parents. Needless to say, the PTA can do a wonderful work, and the greater the number of members, the greater the in fluence will be in establishing good home and school re lations to the end that the child’s most intimate and powerful educators can do together what neither can do alone. With more members there should result more ideas, interest, inspiration, service, strength and support, for there is work to be done for the children and yonth of the community, which will not wait. It doesn’t take a child long to grow up, so that every parent should sense a responsibility which no other person can shoulder. As members of the PTA. parents can join forces in doing something practical and effective by helping share re sponsibilities and keeping informed about the facts in educating our boys and girls, the most precious pos session we have. Help make better boys and girls of your children — join the PTA. Farmers In Dilemma To say the least, some Chowan County farmers are ex periencing no little difficulty in harvesting their cotton crop. Help in picking cotton is limited, so that young sters have been obliged to pick cotton, many of whom depend upon this source of revenue to purchase shoes and winter clothing. Added to this hardship the last few days has been the appearance of a Federal agent, who warns farmers that no child under 18 years of age is allowed to pick cotton on the strength, no doubt, that he or she should be in school. As a result, some farmers are in a dilemma, I * !• i ■ J Yi* J*T^m SIfJ yxf.t' 1 4jr -■■ . r.,: & • ' ! *■>*./:-. if; Hobbs Implement Co., Inc. GUY C.

The band will ptey from 8 to 8:30 o’clock, after which the sale Will be held. Va rious items to be sold will be donated by merchants and others, so some timely and worthwhile article* will be offered for sale. The purpose of the auction sale is to help raise money in order to purchase new instruments for the band. Go out and hear the youngsters play and bid on some of the things which will be sold. You may need some items sold, and at the same lime help to make our present band even better. Mrs. Bo Thomas came very near kissing one of the men at the fair Tuesday night. She went up to the ; man who guesses ages and he guessed Mrs. TTiomas as being eight years younger than she actually is. She ( was so delighted that she was tempted to invite him to . come to Hotel Joseph Hewes for a free dinner. Gosh, it looks like two ways to please a lady is to tell her She is younger than she is, or tell a fat ’un that she isn t fat. Just about the best exhibit I saw at the Chowan County Fair Tuesday night was the booth reflecting the improvements made at the Rocky Hock Baptist Church. Os course, Izzy Oampen was called in to fix up the models of the church and grounds as it was some 20 years ago and as it is today. Izzy done a splendid job, > as usual, and even has a little man on the steps which i represents Willie Saunders, church sexton, smoking his pipe and waiting for the preacher or worshippers to ar rive. The exhibit won first prize and will he entered in the 7-County Fair in Elizabeth City next week. —— o Chowan County Commissioners on Monday were faced with a problem of installing a stove in the county jail. The trouble is that there is not enough space between the wall and cell blocks to install a stove large enough to adequately heat the building. Sheriff J. A. Bunch, custodian of the jail, was instructed to contact a con tractor in order to rig up some way to put in a stove, most likely knocking out part of the wide wall. At any rate, the Sheriff was told by the Commissioners, “Go ahead and get a stove in the jail, for we don’t want to freeze if we are sent there.” Here’s one who went fishing Saturday and while fish ing at a favorite hole, a fellow came oozing along with a nice string of bream. “How’s luck?” I asked him. .“Well, I’m soon got to quit,” he said, for I almost have the limit. But I don’t have far to go, for I live just a short distance from the bridge. “Do you live near Jerry Turner’s camp?” I asked. “Why, you are talking to HJerry Turner,” the man said. Well, about 20 years ago I moved in a house which Jerry vacated but I didn’t even recognize him. At any rate, Jerry told me he takes “suckers” out fishing down Manteo way, but when he wants to go fishing and catch some fish, he comes back to this neck of the woods. And incidentally, the Missus and Martha Crummey were along on 4fce trip, but I can’t figure out how they expect to catch, sigh with their lines on top of the bushes. o Edenton’s firemen held a very enjoyable barbecue chicken dinner Thursday night, to which town officials were invited. It was a splendid affair, but on one of the chickens the hot stuff must not have been distribut ed. Mrs. J. Clarence Leary got this piece of chicken and said if she hadn’t been in the fire station she would call out the firemen to put out the “fire.” One of the 'best things about the party was that there was no long winded speakers. Quite a few were called on by Cap’n Dick Hall, but all “speeches” were very brief, including what several of the ladies had to say. for cotton is ready to be picked but the laborers are few. As a matter of fact, Hie opinion is advanced that if children of this age are prohibited from earning this seasonal money, more children will be out of school due to lack of clothing than would otherwise be the case. It is not the purpose of Chowan County farmers to ex ploit children and if children are required to wait until they are 18 years old before being required to work, there will, without doubt, be a bumper crop of first grade ■ loafers within a very few years.

M. Question: The other day I discover ed that my landlord had been over charging me in the rent on my apart ment. When I went to him about it he said he would reduce the rent to the legal maximum next month but there was nothing that could be done about the past months because I had already made the rent payments with out objections. Is there? Answer: The fact that you paid the rent he requested without objection makes no difference. Your landlord was supposed to show you a copy of his registration statement, showing the maximum legal rent and services he is required to supply, when you first rented the unit You may now bring suit through your own attorney for attorney’s fees and court costs plus up to three times the overcharges during the year just (before the suit is filed or $l5O, whichever is greater.
