FTSt^for^today We are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? —Rom. 8: 24. Eternity is the divine treasure house, and hope is the window, by means of which mortals are permitted to see, as through a glass darkly, the things which God is pre paring. Mountford. Eternal hope, O God, we desire, that we may see be yond the visible and envision, in part, that which Thou hast in store for those who keep Thy commandments. Need For Cooperation It is rather startling to learn that rats and mice in Chowan County during a year do approximately sls worth of damage per family, which, of course, means that much more damage is done in one place than an other. This damage is hard to eliminate altogether, but by proper cooperation on the part of the general public the figure can he substantially reduced. At present a rat and mouse control campaign is an nounced by County Agent C. W. Overman, who points out that these destructive pests travel from house to house and farm to farm. This traveling back and forth can be materially reduced if a majority of people cooperate by putting out poison during the campaign. The drive to get rid of rats and mice obviously will not be very successful unless enough people take part. If one per son puts out poison and neighbors do not, it will not he long until the rodents take over. 'Not only do rats and mice cause financial loss, hut they carry disease germs to humans and livestock, which should be another reason why they should he greatly re duced in number. The cost to participate in the campaign is very little compared to the saving realized, so that every family in Chowan County should seriously consider taking part. Help Needed With each passing week more and more interest is de veloping in the Pilgrimage of 'Colonial 'Edenton and Countryside. Inquiries continue to come in from many states, so that the visitors are expected to greatly ex ceed those of the two previous touts. With many expected to come here from distant points, the matter of sleeping quarters is causing some concern among members of the Edenton Woman’s Club, sponsors of the pilgrimage. 'The hotel, tourist courts and tourist homes are expected' to be filled to capacity, so that the club women are anxious to list any rooms which might be rented during the tour. Anyone who can and will rent a room during the tour is requested to contact Mrs. (R. N. Hines as early as pos sible so that a list will be available when the visitors arrive. The difficulty in teaching is .that those who need to know most refuse to seek knowledge. It takes intelligence to admit that another is smarter than you are, in most respects. - -y^i—irVin—l|—»—ir **■ *i"<*l*^l*l%VVVriAruVVVWW , >AAfUV>AlI\A»~UVVUV l \A»~UVVUV f L- T- DUNBAR ] i> Western Auto Associate Store 1 i | 204 SOUTH BROAD ST.

By “Buff” 'With so much interest in the Colonial Store television Quick Quiz show, a fellow should be careful about using the phone. The other night while the program was on television I called Mbs. EmeSt Lee to place an order for a few steaks. Mrs. Lee was watching the television at the time and when the phone rang she almost jumped out of her dress to get to it, thinking that she was being ! called to answer the question, which she Could have done and as a result win SSO worth of groceries. While she likes to get business, she was let down considerably by the phone call at that particular time. o : In my over a quarter of a century living in (Edenton I knew a lot of the Edenton old-timers, but this week I received a letter from one whom I never knew. The let ter was from Mrs. G. L. Smith, who now lives in (Norfolk. She left Edenton 43 years ago and that was before my . time. Anyway Mrs. ISmith had this to say: “(Please find enclosed money for which send me your paper for a year . . . Edenton was my home until 43 years ago. Al though a long time has passed, I still have a very tender 'spot in my heart for my childhood home and I will love to get a paper from there. I happened to learn the name of your paper when I 'bought some fish from 'Rich’s !Sea 'Food Place on Granby Street. The Ifish were wrap ped in a copy of The Herald and I don’t know which I enjoyed most —reading the paper or eating the fish. I’m settling on the paper, I believe, and hope to receive it real soon. 1 know lam going to have lots of fun and pleasure hearing about lots of people 1 have once known.” I’m glad Mrs. Smith subscribed to The Herald, but what in the dickens is a fish market in Norfolk doing with The Herald to wrap up their fish? Then, too, time was when a lot of us knew just about everybody in Edenton. That isn’t true any more, so that Mrs. Smith, too, will no doubt find out that many of the names She sees in The ' Herald will be foreign to her. In other words, Edenton isn’t what it was 43 years ago. Carroll D. Chappell, who lives in upper Chowan County, says he had an unusual experience in Norfolk Sunday. In front of the Municipal Auditorium he was doing his best to lead a friend to Christ by Way of the Cross, and says the Lord was letting the blessings ring. (He was arrested by the Norfolk police, charged’ with disturbing the peace and placed in jail. He was released on con dition that he shows good behavior for six months. He says no sentence could have been easier and says he is praying for the folks who arrested him. o I thought I had a dickens of a job on my hands last week to count 'the money collected in the March of Dimes, which included checks, bills, half dollars, quarters, dimes,. nickels and pennies (fortunately no washers were col lected in the drive). I called 'Mrs. Inez Moran, treasurer of the Chowan County Chapter of the National Founda tion Tor Infantile Paralysis, to find out how she want ed me to separate the money and was I surprised when she said, "Just bring over the whole works, we have a machine into which we dump the money and it- comes out separated.” Holy smoke, I’m getting behind the times. IWhat in the dickens will they invent next? Even if this week’s Herald don’t look good, it Should smell good. The P & Q Super Market’s advertisement this week features Cashmere Bouquet soap and a high falutin’ fluid was put into the ink, which should give you some idea how the soap smells. What in the dickens will folks think of next? o f Usually getting to the Herald office about 6:30 in the morning, I had an early caller Tuesday morning when W. O. (Bill) White dropped in before 7 o’clock. He pok ed out a cigar, for during the night he became the daddy of a bouncing baby hoy. While he was all smiles, he look ed as though he didn’t get much Sleep—and I don’t ex pect he did. o Talking about automobiles, I heard a fellow say the other night that if a person wants to realize how good his car is, just inquire about the price of a 1963 model.
