Acts 17:28. , .' Christ taught that God and his kingdom are within us, but we are in God also, for he is in all life, and all life is in him. ' • To Thee, Our Heavenly Father, we are grateful for this blessed fellowship with Thee. Step In Right Direction Chowan County Commissioners at their July meeting last week again expressed some concern about the val uable records housed in the old Court House. They sen sed the fact that in event they were destroyed by fire, no amount of fire insurance could replace the records and they would be gone forever. As a protection to preserve these valuable papefs the Commissioners gave some consideration to microfilm them and to store the films in a Court House in some other county, so that in event the original records were destroyed, the microfilm would preserve the papers. And vice versa, if the films happened to be destroyed another set would be made from the original papers. So much interested are the Commissioners in the plan that they are scheduled to confer with a representative of a concern which sells microfilm equipment at their August meeting. In this idea the Commissioners are displaying some forethought. To be sure there will be some expense at tached to microfilming the old records, but if perchance they should be destroyed, no amount of money could re place them. It is far better to spend a little money to preserve them than to be forever sorry if misfortune should strike in one form or another and the old and val uable records vanish. Making Good Impression Mrs. Imogene Cochran has assumed her duties as home demonstration agent in Chowan County, succeeding Miss Rebecca Colwell, who recently resigned. Mrs. Cochran is gradually meeting the rural and town people and so far as The Herald cdn learn, she is being very well received. Mrs. Cochron was no little pleased shortly after her arrival when two Chowan girls, Evangeline Copeland and Mary Sue Elliott won the 4-H Dairy Food Team Demon stration Contest in Washington. Mrs. Cochran will find in Chowan a splendid group of cooperative, capable and hospitable-people, so that The Herald hopes her stay in Chowan will be long and pleas ant. Welcome To Edenton Last week a change was made in command at the Edenton Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field, when Col. John D. Harshberger succeeded Col. Elmer E. Brac kett, Jr., as commanding officer. The Herald welcomes Col. Harshberger in our midst, and expresses the belief that the same friendly relations will prevail between the base and Edenton as existed un der the command of Col. Brackett as well as his prede cessors. Edenton has been very fortunate in enjoying the best kind of relations with the Marines ever since they have been stationed near town, and it is the hope that the same situation will continue. The Marines have always shown a desire to cooperate with the Town of Edenton and by the same token the Town is always ready to co operate with the Marines.

(L, THURSDAY JULY 16,1953. Heard & Seen By “Buff” Joe Webb, one of Chowan County’s Commissioners, was reminiscing the other day and pulled out jan old tax receipt to show how much taxes have advanced. His re ceipt showed that in 1909 the taxes on his property in the Yeopim section were $22.81. On this same property today, said Mr. Webb, the taxes are about S2OO. Well, we’re all in the same boat. It is said that two things a fellow must do—pay taxes and die. But by looking over Chowan County’s delinquent tax list, some of ’em ap parently think they’ll escape one. Week before last The Herald carried a story about the Edenton Cotton Mills receiving a beautiful certificate o 1 safety achievement from the Department of Labor for the State of North Since then I have learned that two other Edenton concerns received similar rec ognition, these being the Edenton Peanut Company and Halsey Hardwood Company. There may be others, too, i which goes to show that Edenton employers are vitally interested in reducing accidents among their employees. There’s no telling how many people come here to fish of late, and there’s no telling how many Edentonians go many miles from here to go fishing. And in many cases a fellow can do just as well or better by fishing at home. Take for instance Robert Henderson, who sells a lot of bait and rents boats to fishermen, who scatter all around the creeks. The other day Robert fished within a few yards of his place at Johnson’s bridge and caught a 6V2 pound bass. Some of the out-of-towners’ eyes almost popped out when they pulled up at the dock and saw the big fellow. Millard Ward, an Edenton boy who is now living at St. Pauls, N. C., has a new wrinkle. On June 25 he be came the daddy of a son and this week he sent me two bits to buy a cigar. That, you see, gives me an oppor tunity to get my favorite brand cigar, and with the two bits I can buy two instead of one. Time was when two bits could have bought five good cigars. T’anks, Mil lard, I’ve marked you off the books. o This paragrph was crowded out last week and has to do with two members of the Rocky Hock baseball team. While playing on Hicks Field Saturday night a week ago someone stole money from the billfolds belonging to El bert Bunch and Willard Wilson. In a brief message to me two ball players had this to say: “We send our regards to the one who stole our money while playing ball Saturday night. We wish the one who stole it has as much trouble borrowing money the next time as we did this. Signed: The Broke Two.” Yes, there’s some mighty mean folks in this world, boys. o Frank Twiddy visited Tom Harris at the McCain Sana torium Sunday, where he has been a patient for many months. When Frank saw Tom he was taking a bath and was using a Chowan Herald as a mat. “I’ve got ath lete’s foot,” Tom told Frank, “and I got it from standing on Buff’s old newspaper.” I can’t understand it, but with all I have to say about fishing in this column, I wouldn’t be surprised to have Tom say he got fish scales between his toes by standing on the paper. o The weather man must have gone nerts. Last week we had weather so hot a fellow almost melted down. Then early this week there was a delightful chqnge when a fellow grabbed for covering at night and as a result there has been several good sleeping nights. A fellow hardly knows what to expect, but the cooler weath er has been a great relief. 0 Some idea of traffic going througn Edenton was giv en by Bill Everett at the Town Council meeting Tues day night. A check was made Friday, Saturday and Mon day between the hours of 6:30 P. M., and 8:30 P. M., only two hours. It was revealed that 187 vehicles pass ed Friday, 246 on Saturday and 228 on Monday. The check was made to learn how many cars had excessive exhaust noise and it was found 94 such vehicles race through town. The police are on the lookout, so if your muffler is faulty, you better have it fixed. Complaint has been made that some people cannot sleep due to the fuss and that in a few cases plaster has been shaken from walls. Yep, it’s a shaky world we’re living in. Overman Reports More BoH Weevils Little Difference In In festation Through out County “Cotton insects are still working in spite of the continued dry weather,” says County Agent C. W. Overman. “The new crop of boll weevils was on the increase this week because soft and hard weevils were found in many of the fields. The boll worm is be ginning to work in squares before they open and will continue to increase from now on unless it is controlled. “Twelve fields were examined again on Monday. There was apparently no difference in infestation from Yeopim to Gliden, this means throughout the county. The nine dusted fields rang ed from 0 per cent to 14 per cent and averaged 5 per cent punctured squares. The three undusted fields contained 22 per cent, 28 per cent and 43 per cent respectively. Six of the dusted fields had less than 5 per cent punctured squares. “Due to the fact that the boll worm is beginning to work, we feel that you should begin using a dust containing DDT. 2% per cent Aldrin with 5 per cent DDT or 2% per cent Dieldrin with 5 per cent DDT should be applied at the rate of 12-15 pounds per acre at least beginning next week and fol lowing with another application the next week. If you have the boll weevil well under control in your field you can use 10 per cent DDT dust at the rate of 15 pounds per acre for the boll worm. Both pests will continue to work until the last or middle of NEW COOPe ZbeLxe REFRIGERATOR if j* #*&'' ■' if ■ j» IV T m |i - m— ■ 111 I Deluxe 10 cu. ft.
