At a recent meeting in connection with the proposed plan to secure a USO branch here which was attended by Chaplain William Swets, he made the statement that on holidays especially the base is as lonesome as any place can be, so that many of the Marines who cannot enjoy the holiday with their families, without doubt, would en joy a meal in a private home. It is understood that Marines will he invited in pairs and any family which will invite two or more for dinner on Thanksgiving day is requested to contact Chaplain Swets as soon as possible so he can make the necessary arrangements. Without any reflection on the base, one can easily un derstand why a Marine desires to get away from his every-day surroundings when the opportunity presents itself. Very few of us would get any particular pleasure in eating our meals every day and especially on holi days, at the place where we toil day in and day out to make a livelihood. It is a splendid gesture to invite Marines in for their Thanksgiving dinner, so that it is hoped every Marine who so desires will be invited. It goes without saying that the idea will help cement the friendship between Edentonians and the Marines and will allow the boys to eat a meal in the environment of a private home in keeping with their own, where hospitality and fellow ship should add to the spirit of the day. Many Chowan County boys will be in the same situa tion this Thanksgiving Day and what parent would not appreciate their son or husband being invited into a I private home to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner? | Pre-Thanksgiving | Reduction on all | EARLY FALL and WINTER { | COATS, SUITS, TOPPERS j AND DRESSES | Winter Hats % Price | | New shipment of Party andi I Christmas Dresses in Jersey,; {Taffeta, Moire, Net and Velvet.!

Mrs. William D. Townson, J Jr., the former Miss Pearl Whichard, who lives in Murphy, wrote a brief letter the other day commenting upon “Fields of the Woods” »nthat neck of the woods. “If you have never seen the Fields of the Woods,’ you should,” she wrote. “The Ten Com mandments are so large on the side of the mountain that you can read them from an airplane at a pretty high altitude. Also it is the most beautiful and quietest place I’ve ever seen." Mrs. Townson said that by read ing The Herald she feels as if she goes home once a week. “Incidentally,” she said, “by the way you wrote an article in your column some time ago, I can’t remem ber exactly what it was about, but you left the impres sion you had 20 toes. Do you?” I don’t recall the item Mrs Townson is referring to, but the last time I wash ed my feet I had only ten toes. However, as busy as I’ve been lately, I’d like to have about 20 fingers.. —o L. 0. Copeland, sachem of Chowan Tribe of Red Men, has offered to furnish the fish for a fish fry next Mon day night at his Ampco Service Station on the Windsor highway, provided some of the Red Men will help to fix up a table. Monday night a few of the Red Men volunteered to help. One said he’d bring a saw, another a hammer, another a square and nails. By that time Jim Daniels piped out, “I’ll bring an umbrella to hold over you while it’s raining.” The pessimist! o- Henry Quinn told me Van Harrell, whose address is Route 2, Box 163, won the tenderized ham in the Swift Jamboree held at the P & Q Supermarket last week. Henry says he is having a hard time contacting the win ner, so I offered him a solution to his problem by agree ing to take the ham off his hands. As yet I haven t seen the ham, however. o I don’t quite understand this fishing business lately. I went fishing Friday and despite the perfect water the scudders just would not bite in two creeks, so I came home empty-handed. However, another fellow also went fishing the same day and brought home six squirrels and two ducks. Nope, he didn’t get ’em with fishing lines, so that I’ll have to include my gun with the fishing equipment. o Mrs. Julien Wood informed me the other day that she is giving up her residence on Court Street and will make her home at Hotel Joseph Hewes. In making the change, Mrs. Wood, of course, cannot take all of her belongings with her. so that I’m satisfied that lovers of antiques can make a deal to buy some unusual and valuable antiques. o Some time ago I loaned a two-burner electric hot plate to the Methodist ladies. It suddenly disappeared, so if I any of the ladies know of its whereabouts I’d appreciate i letting me know where I can find it. [lies!*!
