MOVIE FEATURES MEETINGS A film entitled "Pine Ways to Pro fit” was shown at 4-H Club meetings last week. This is a very good film which was produced by the U. S.

In the more than a quarter of a century I have lived in Edenton I have yet to witness an appeal made for a Worthy cause which has gone unheeded. ' I consider the March of Dimes a very, very worthy cause and believe our citizens will rally to my appeal and thus maintain the county's splendid reputation. . .Chowan County has been very fortunate in nbt being plagued wfth a polio outbreak. We have used some of the funds tor a few local cases but in event of an epidemic it would be necessary to call on state and national headquarters for financial assistance. Be ing the one to make this request, it would be humiliating, indeed, to ask for aid if the county raised dnly S4OO in the drive to raise money for such purposes. Chowan County can raise much more j than S4OO and I feel confident ft will. If it don’t, it not only let me down, but it will alsb let down some victitn of* polio who needs some of the expensive treatment to combat the disease. I NOTICE!
