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. De
partment of Agriculture, and it very
vividly shows how to get the most
profit from pine trees. The club mem
bers seemed to enjoy the film very
much and at least one club member
and his parents ordered 500 pine trees
as a result of the 4-H Club boy seeing ■
the movie. J

tremely difficult.

Kenneth Jordan were given awards as 1
being the best speakers. One of the '
feature events of the program was the 1
first public appearance of the school’s
choral group and rhythm band under

astic to the renditions of the choral 1
group and rhythm band. (

correct figure should have been SBOO. -
The error is regretted and correction
' ina'de in order to give full credit for

AN URGENT APPEAL
(Continued from Fage One)
be missed, I will be more than glad to receive any contributions at
The Herald office.
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.
