ALIFT FOR TODAY ☆ That they all may be one; a%thou, Father, are in me, and I in thee; that they also ipay be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. —John 17:21. From this prayer of Jesus we learn that anyone for whom the Saviour prays-will be welcomed into the family of our loving heavenly Father as His children. We thank Thee, 0 God, for Thy great love which embraces all of us and makes us joint heirs with Thy only Son. Better Pay Up—Or Else A goodly number of Edenton merchants on Fri day night formed a local Credit Reporting Bureau, the purpose of which is to protect them from ex tending credit to a certain group of people who have “stuck” other merchants and in all probability will “stick” just about anybody who will sell them any thing on credit from groceries to a fur coat. Hardly without exception Edenton merchants have accounts on their books which they cannot collect and they figure it is about time to call a halt. Some of these people have the nerve, while owing a long past due account, to request further credit of the same merchant. Others, on the other hand, not intending to pay the bill, will seek new pastures and make an effort to “stick” some other merchant either at home or in nearby towns, which has often been the case within the four counties now making up the Four-County Credit Bureau. It is not the purpose of Edenton merchants to place a hardship on any of their customers to whom they have sold merchandise on a credit basis. There is not a single one who would ignore a re quest for more time in event some unforseen or unfortunate circumstances developed which makes it impossible to pay as promised. The merchants are human and realize that sometimes circum stances crop up unexpectedly which play havoc with well-intended plans. It isn’t this group which the credit bureau will affect. There are some people, however, who would hot pay the Lord Himself. In fact, they would con sider it an act of particular honor to pay anything whatever for the upkeep and advancement of the church or other worthwhile movement. They con sider it an act of shrewdness to be able to secure a bill of goods and know full well at the time that they do not intend to pay the bill if they can any way get out of it. It is this group of people which will be affected and the credit bureau, and they should be curbed. The credit bureau will do this if the members cooperate wholeheartedly, for they are required to report the name and address of those who have bad or unsaticfactory accounts, and these names are compiled and sent to every member of the credit bureau in the four counties. It is also expected that the plan will soon be adopt ed by other adjoining counties. The merchants, of course, will feel a little re luctant to report any of their customers, but they can ill afford to remain in business and carry sub stantial amounts on the books which are not' col lectable. Some merchants have already reported collection of delinquent accounts since word has gone out that a credit bureau was to be organized in Eden ton. The best way to prevent being circularized as a' “dead beat” is to pay up delinquent accounts or make arrangements with merchants whereby they may expect curtailment of the debt. When once a name appears in the “Red Light” book, the only way it will be removed is by paying the mer chant, and merchants in some cases, the account which is long past due. Family mystery: How junior can know his lessons when he doesn’t even look at his books. You may be able to find a good excuse for any thing, but this will not get you anywhere in the long run. You might try going to church next Sunday. You can’t blame the heat now. 1 . s Most people can’t think with their mouths open, and most of them find this no serious handicap. There’s ip .old saying that money isn’t every thing, but there are lew troubles that s little money fttn’t lighten. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. CL THURSDAY PESBRUARY JL9^l9Sß^__ Heard & Seen By “Buff” Maybe some people do not believe in prayer, but the Edenton Aces, no doubt, believed in it Tuesday night. Just before the Aces entered the basketball game with their ancient rivals, the Elizabeth City Yellow Jackets, they asked the Rev. James Mac- Kenzie, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, to come into the dressing room for the purpose of prayer. Os course, the preacher complied with their request and offered a prayer, not only that the Aces win the game, but that the boys would be enabled to play a clean game and come out of the fray un scathed. Well, all of this happened, much to the delight of the Aces and fans as well. It was the final Home game of the current season and a good ly number of fans were on hand —as it sbould have been all season. o And speaking about prayer, on Friday when the World Day of Prayer will be observed in Edenton, everybody is requested to pause at noon, when church bells ring, for a moment of prayer. A un ion service will be held Friday night at' 8 o’clock in the Methodist Church, at which time the church' really should be over-crowded. There never was a time when people should be more interested in prayer. Os course about the only time some peo ple think about prayer is when they are face to face with great trouble. See you in church Fri day night. o Most families at cue time or another have their, domestic squabbles and I had one ’tother day. I was enjoying smoking a cigar and for some reason placed the thing, about half consumed, on top of the electric stove while I stepped out doors. The Missus was cooking some beef stew and while I was out she took the lid off the pot and, not seeing my stogie, laid the lid right on top of the cigar. Af ter looking at the stew, she picked up the lid and put it back on the pot. The bloomin’ stew had a dickens of a taste and upon making an investigation it was discovered that my cigar clung to the lid and, of course, dropped unaware into the stew. It was a very good cigar, but I’ll admit .it didn’t make good seasoning for the stew. .Why, even my de voted dog wouldn’t eat the mess. I was given to understand in no uncertain terms that the place for an old stinking pipe or cigar butt is in an ash tray —and as to my supper I’d have to be satisfied with what was on the table. o Quite frequently I receive brief notes from sub scribers living in distant places when sending in their renewal for The Herald, and one of these came this week from Mrs. William T. Pullen of Daytona Beach, Florida. “Edenton is my old home,” she wrote, “though there is little of the old town left when I was a child there. But I will al ways love old Edenton. I enjoy the piper every week.” Well, if Mrs. Pullen hasn’t been in Eden ton for a long time, she’d be surprised to note the changes. o AH of the people in Washington are not scound rels. Take for instance, Mrs. Mabel White, who lives there. She sent two bucks for The Herald and some time later remembered that the price of The Herald outside of North Carolina is $2.50 per year. Pronto she sent 50 more cents. T’anks! o At the P & Q Super Market last week one was reminded of the war days when a store received a shipment of coffee, butter, soap powders and other scarce items. The P & Q received some of the New Zealand beef which sold for 39 cents per pound. It didn’t take long for the word to get around and the beef went away like hot cakes. And speaking about hot cakes, why not eat break fast Saturday morning in the Penelope Barker House? An effort is being made to raise money through the stomach in order to pay off some of the indebtedness. You’ll get a belly full for a buck and at the same time help toward the realization of a community building for Edenton. o Just ’taint fair. Henry Gardner caUed me up early this week to tell me the Bank of Edenton will be closed Monday of next week in observance of Washington’s birthday. Shucks, my birthday is on the 24th and he didn’t say anything about the Haplr closing on that day. - • o Anybody who can stand a good laugh should go to the high school gymnasium Saturday night, when a donkey basketball game will be played. There’ll be chills and spills by members of the Varsity Club and the Monogram Club and while the gym floor is very beautiful, it isn’t a bit soft. J. B.

It’s not always simply a matter of resolution, but if you now enjoy good health, re solve to keep it. It’s priceless. Even if you don’t go in for New Year’s resolutions, this is a good time of year to take a close look at the state of your health, at (he way you are living. It is much easier to keep in good health than to get well after you are sick. And easier, too, to throw off colds and to build up resistance to di sease, if your health is already good. Here are a few simple rules of good general health, which we all can fol low: Eat well-balanced meals. Eat enough, bu not too much. Exercise regularly, preferably out of doors. Get enough rest and sleep. Keep clean. Good personal, hygiene is essential. See your doctor and dentist regu larly. Get a physical checkup every year, including a chest X-ray, whether you feel sick or not. Don’t wait until you feel sick to see your doctor. Your doctor can help you prevent sickness or detect it early enough to cure it promptly. You are most likely to get sick when you are run down from lack of sleep or from the wrong kind of food. A balanced diet means eating enough of the right kinds of foods, but not eating too much. Overweight is a shortcut to illness. Balanced meals can be arranged nutritiously with dishes from categories such as proteins, including meats, poultry, fish, eggs; green and yellow vege tables; fruits and salad greens; whole grained breads and cereals. You sleep best if the air in your rooms is fresh and cool. The ther mometer should read about 68 degrees, not more than 72. Plan to keep well this year. SUNDAY FIRE Edenton’s Fire Department was called to Westover Heights shortly after noon Sunday to a fire caused by the oil furnace in the basement of Dr. G. L. Gilchrist. The fire, for tunately, made little headway and there was no damage. ■ JOHN DEERETruss-FramePlows I ..tyPfJ .jUt 'if '’ ~v ‘i lr* ■* * * * * Yoor altar joar, I*mH Had to majority ol plowing dunpioga ooatyaDaan .
