Only 125 pints of blooA was donated and of that amount 64 pints were given by Marines stationed at the Edenton base. But for the Marines, the coun ty would have made a very poor showing, indeed, with only 61 pints donated during the day. The Herald understands, however, that Thurs day was an inopportune day for the visit in that several other affairs conflicted so that donors were unable to visit the bloodmobile before its departure. But, be that as it may, Chowan County is falling down miserably in donating blood. The major portion of blood donated heretofore has come from a comparatively few people. The same group has appeared at almost every visit of the bloodmobile, donating to date anywhere from 11 to six pints. Two people, Paul L. Partin James B. Stillman have already donated 11 pints of blood and three, H. A. Campen, William E. Bond and the Rev. Preston E. Cayton have donated 10 pints. Others who have donated blood ranging from nine to seven pints include Beulah Privott, Jimmy Earnhardt, Mollie L. Hollowell, Annie Spruill, Margaret H. Jones, John L. Foxwell and Miss Kathryn Brown. It is obvious that a handful of people have car ried the lion’s share of the load in contributing blood, which is not as it should be. Another disappointing aspect in the local blood program is the fact that last week only two colored civilians made a donation. Reluctance on the part of Edenton’s colored population to donate blood is hard to understand, for in every project of a worthy nature they usually can be depended upon to make a creditable showing. But two pints of blood do nated at a visit of the bloodmobile lacks a whale of a lot of being a creditable showing. If more people would just stop and think how much blood is needed and the great amount of good it does, plus the small amount of time it takes, to give it, more people would be willing to make a contribution. When blood is needed for a trans fusion then is no time to look for a friend who will come to the rescue, nor is it time to hunt around for blood which will match the victim whose life hangs in a balance. Chowan’s poor showing was not due to lack of efforts on the part of recruitment workers. Per sonal contacts were made and cards requesting do nations were sent throughout the county, so that the only plausible reason for the flop is that people apparently are not interested. It is hoped that Chowan County people will think more seriously about the great necessity for blood and that when the bloodmobile visits Eden ton the next time a better showing will be made. Think it over, folks, it may be you yourself who will need bljood, or possibly some of your loved ones. There should be no hesitancy to give blood and Chowan County, with a population of about 12,000 should be ashamed not to give 1 50 pints. Voice Your Opinion Attention is called to a public hearing to be held in the Court House Friday night, June 5, when hunting regulations will be considered lor the 1953- 54 hunting season in the First District. Present at the meeting will be Clyde Patton, executive director ol the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission, under whose sponsorship the meeting is called. Hunters in all of the districts of the State have attended similar meetings, when bag limits, seasons and other matters of interest to hunting have been discussed. Many times complaints have been heard about bag Emits and seasons, so that anyone interested is urged to attend the meeting and voice any objac |frgß ' More Hi health is #used by too much food than too little.

C., THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1963. ——— Heard & Seen By “Buff” - —» At Greensboro last week Mayor Robert Frazier mad* a splendid address of welcome to the Red Men and Poca hontas, when they held their Great Councils there. He listed quite a few advantages Greensboro has and, of course, commented upon the great amount of business done in the city, all of which gave the impression that there is a lot of money in Greensboro. Well, there ought to be a lot of money going into Greensboro, for we all know too well that the Director of Internal Revenue has his offices there and a lot of us drop him a letter every three months and most of us send him another letter along about March 15 each year. o But as enthusiastic as the Mayor was, a newspaper man took a different view. When I called on him he ask ed, “Buff, why in the world have you left such a fisher man’s paradise to come to Greensboro when you have a few days off ? I’d like to exchange places with you these few days.” 1 When housing conventions maybe hotel people should remove the comfortable chairs near the elevators. The elevators do a rushing business, you know, and some times a fellow has to wait a spell to go up or down. At any rate one of the Red Men decided to sit on one of the chairs until the elevator arrived and he fell asleep. The funny part about it is that the guy fell asleep short ly before midnight and didn’t awaken until 6:30 the next morning—too late for any of the usual parties. Upon entering his room he remarked, “What in the dickens did I engage a bed for?” o Maybe John W. Coston, who lives on Route 2, wonders what became of a letter addressed to Sears Roebuck & Co., in Greensboro. Well, I found the letter in front of the Cupola House and dropped it in the mail box. You’re welcome! ' o A friend told me the other day he was puzzled. I ask ed him about what, and he said, “Well, you’ve often heard that day breaks and night falls, but I’ve never heard of either being hurt.” - o At the Rocky Hock-Hobbsville baseball game Sunday afternoon I heard two boys in a heated argument. Um pire Earl Goodwin had just called out a batter on three strikes. One of the boys said to the other, “It’s ‘tree’ strikes.” The other replied, “You can’t even talk plain, it’s ‘free’ strikes.” o While in Greensboro last week I bought a few cigars. It convinced me that there are a lot of good 5-cent cigars v on the market, but they are selling for 10 and 15 cents. o Many eager eyes have been peering in (Jampen’s win dows the past few days. In one of the windows Izzy Campen rigged up two improvised clocks. On one of the clocks Chowan High School graduates are pictured and on the other Edenton High School graduates appear. When the clocks stop a watch will he given to the stu dent nearest the hands. This annual stunt always arouses a lot of interest not only among the students but their friends as well. There will be two lucky graduates. o And speaking about a clock, Mrs. G. L. Davenport of Mackeys this week sent me the following impressive poem: The clock of life is wound but once, And no man has the power To tell just when the hands will stop At late or early hour. Now is the only time you own, Live, love, work with a will, Put no faith in tomorrow — The clock may then be still. o = * Dick Dixon was an early morning caller in The Her- | aid office Tuesday morning, and as he walked in he hand ed me an attractively decorated cigar. The cigar wrapper had storks pictured all over it with the wording “It’s A Girl.” It’s the second baby for Dick and his wife, so here’s my congratulations. o The Red Men’s meeting on Monday night looked some thing like old times. Raleigh Hollowell, a Red Men wheel horse, who has been missing from the meetings for many months due to illness, was able to attend. The Red Men were'glad to see him, but they were no more happier than Raleigh himself for being well enough to meet with the boys again. o Rotarians are staging an “ugliest man contest” in or der to raise funds for various Rotary activities and over 75 names have been presented The Herald from which approximately 25 contestants will be selected. Percy Perry told Dave Holton he knew a few others who should be include* in the list. Dave agreed, but told Percy this is an amateur contest, so that “professionals” will be bar red. At any rate, vote for your favorite contestant, knowing that the pennies voted will go for a worthy cause. o Next Saturday, May 30, will be Memorial Day and the local VF*W Post is urging that as many flags as possible be displayed during the day. Let’s join, ’em in their ef forts to see Old Glory waving in the breeze. Sometimes a person wonders if all too many folks do not lack the proper respect for the flag, and at times apparently for get what it stands for. Let’s all put out our flags! a o I heard a fellow say Tuesday night in Hertford that he is entitled to a two-weeks vacation each year, but that he seldom takes advantage of it. “Why not?” asked a friend. “Well,” said- the guy, “I’m afraid if I’m away from my job for two weeks the boss might figure that I’m not so much needed anyway.” . o Leon Thomas informed me Tuesday night that there are more bass being caught and of a larger size than in many years. And he and his game wardens are seeing to it that some fellows don’t get away with more than the limit. He’s also picked up quite few who try to get by fishing without a license. Better be careful, boys! . o-' »■■■—. — Palmer Tynch’s Rocky Hock baseball team and the Marines have been furnishing some baseball, but fans apparently do not know about the games. They’ve been playing pretty good ball, and the Marines will be seen in action (Thursday) and Saturday night on ■■ - WeeksviHe NAF Trips Rocky Hock Tuesday On Hicks Field 9 To 4 Costly Errors Mark Up Runs In Early Part Os Game Plagued by 10 errors, most of which were committed in the early innings, proved to be the downfall of Palmer Tynch’s Rocky Hock baseball team Tuesday night on Hicks Field when the Weeksville NAF won by a score of 9 to 4. Tommy Hollowell was on the mound for Rocky Hock and was pitching ef fective ball but errors were respon sible for practically all of the visitors’ runs. Hollowell, who allowed seven hits, was relieved by Buddy Long in the sixth and the latter gave up only two hits the rest of the wav. Red Harrellson was on the mound for the Sailors and allowed eight hits. Ray Jordan was the batting star for Rocky Hock, marking up a record of four hits out of four • trips to the plate. Rocky Hock staged a short-, lived rally in the eighth, when Wood row Lowe and Ray Jordan singled in succession and Stan Perry then dou bled, scoring Lowe and Jordan. With no outs, the rally bogged down. Rocky Hock will play a return game with Weeksville NAF on the Rocky Hock diamond starting at 3 o’clock on Saturday. On Sunday afternoon Rocky Hock journeys to Weeksville to wind up a three-game series. tost Colony Will Open 1953 Season Saturday, June 27 This YearVshow Will Be Dedicated to Queen Elizabeth of England America’s loingiefft Kved outdoor pro duction, Paul Green’s inteiHartionaHy famous The QLoslt Colony, will open for its 13th season in Marvteo a“j Walter side Theatre on June 27.
