A LWT FOR TODAY
ic The Lord bless thee, and keep thee; the Lord make
his face to shine upen thee, and be gracious unto thee;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee
peace. Nu. 6: 24, 25, 26.
IF WE in America would unite in a prayer for all man
kind, it would go far toward bringing harmony into our
world, and we would be blessed also.
Almighty God, forgive us for our indifference toward
those who know Thee not. May we ever pray for men
everywhere.
We’ll Pay Sooner Or Later
On Saturday, October 3, citizens of North Carolina will
have an opportunity and indeed a privilege to vote on a
bond issue which, if carried, will be of inestimable value
to schools and mental institutions in the State. The vot
ers will, by their ballots, decide if 50 million dollars shall
be used to improve, enlarge and build schools and 22 mil
lion dollars to improve the mental institutions.
There will, of course, he many people who will oppose
the bond issue on account of the tax bugaboo, but locally,
at least, money will ere long have to be secured to en
large school facilities so that soonor or later Chowan
County will have to fork up and then on a greatly enr
larged scale.
On the other hand, if the bond issue passes, Chowan
County stands in good stead to secure enough state
money to do what work will be necessary.
’Tis true that schools have been built and enlarged in
Chowan County, but in a short space of time conditions
have become so crowded that more room is already need
ed, and this condition will become more aggravated as
time goes on, so that sooner or later the county will be
obliged to make an outlay for school purposes.
It’s strange how some people howl about paying taxes.
In some cases a few dollars in taxes for schools might
apparently bankrupt a complaining taxpayer when at the
same time a much larger amount must be paid Uncle
Sam in way of income tax. Isn’t it better to pay taxes
locally, which are deductible from incomes, wherein the
community directly benefits than to send the very same
money to be spent on a national scale.
One thing is certain. Chowan County will sooner or
later be forced to spend money on schools. If some or
all of this money comes from the bond issue, it is obvious
that the burden on the county will be far less than if the
bond issue is defeated and the county itself will have to
shoulder the expenditures involved.
Voters should think seriously about the bond issue and,
of course, go to the polls on October 3 to register their
wishes.
One reason people are so easy to fool is that few of
them really seek out the truth.
It is amazing how much time two people can waste
trying to shift one person’s work between them.
The reason some people don’t stick to the truth is that
such a policy would eliminate a lot of conversation.

Heard & Seen

Friday’s calamity, when two people were shot to death,
cast a pall of sorrow over the entire community, possibly
more than any previous misfortune in recent years. Hav
. ing some few years ago gone through an ordeal aqually
I as heart-breaking, I can realize the sorrow experienced
by members of both families. I want, therefore, to ex
tend my sympathy to bereaved relatives and friends and
especially Mrs. Irene Dunbar, who is left alone with her
family and the extea responsibility of managing two
business concerns, the Western Auto Associate Store and
the Western Gas Service. Both business concerns will
continue in operation under the direction of Mrs. Dun
bar, who says there will be no change in personnel or
policy. Mrs. Dunbar will learn that time will, to some
extent, heal her wounds and she, too, will realize that
in Edenton she will find a host of friendly and sympa
thetic people ever ready to be of any assistance, which
will also help to make her burden lighter.

Mrs. Jimmy Crummey miscued a little one day last
week. She opened an egg and when the contents drop
ped in a frying pan she found three yokes. She sent the
friend eggs to The Herald office for me to see, but where
she miscued was that they arrived just after I had eaten
dinner. Had she sent ’em an hour earlier maybe it would
not have been necessary for me to go home for dinner.
Anyway, with eggs selling at 75 cents per dozen, I’d
like to buy a dozen or so of the same kind of eggs.
Percy Perry narrowly missed getting shot or beat up
the other day during the hot spell. Willard Rhoades was
climbing up a ladder in front of his shoe shop to fix an
awning and when he reached the top the telephone rang.
RhoUdes on three successive trips up and down the lad
der finally recognized Percy’s voice over the phone.
Percy was sitting in the Chowart Motor Company of
fice and could see Rhoades as he made the trips up and
down the ladder, but the fun ended on the third telephone
call.
o
And speaking about hot weather, isn’t the change the
last few days a pleasant relief ?
o
Barlow Harrell, who quite often would welcome a ride
from down town to North Edenton, said the other day
that a lot of people look mighty lonesome with only one
person in a car with two seats. The trouble is that Bar
low has to hold his brief case with one hand and his cigar
with the other so that he cannot give the sign that he
wants a ride.
o
Errol Flynn lost a new seamless brown leather billfold
in the ball park, which contained an identification card
social security number, $22 belonging to the Virginian-
Pilot and $6.00 of his personal money. He says he will
pay a reward of $5.00 if returned to The Herald office.
Pretty tough for the young fellow to have to dig up 22
bucks which didn’t belong to him. Anybody find the bill
fold? Why not make young Flynn happy?
o
Rocky Hock and Colerain will play a five-game series
With the first two games scheduled on Hicks Field Fri
day and Saturday nights. Old Man Baseball will soon
pass out of the picture to make room for football. The
Edenton Aces will play their first game Friday night,
September 18, with Columbia. How about dropping
around to see ’em play?
o
With the schools now in session, teachers back after
a summer vacation, and a lot of other people through
with vacations, things are again getting back to normal
in Edenton. The school teachers are glad to get back and
Edenton is just as glad to have ’em in our midst. _
o
Every time I have company and take ’em fishing, it is
necessary for my friends to buy a day’s fishing license,
and just about every time no fish are caught. Might
try taking ’em without a license, but than the game war
den surely would turn up.
