As we look back over the year 1953, despite any sor row, hardships or misfortune, surely there is not a sin gle person but who has enjoyed many blessings for which he or she should be truly thankful. No matter what our lot, if we look about a bit, we will be able to find some one less fortunate than ourselves. In looking back over the past year The Herald has much to be thankful for and, too, it is realized that some mistakes have been made, but which cannot be rectified. It is hoped we can benefit by these shortcomings in our effort to give our readers a better newspaper in 1954 than we did in 1953. Let us all endeavor to profit by the mistakes of com mission and omission we have made in 1953 in order to help make 1954 more happy and more prosperous. It is in that spirit that we wish for every Herald read er a successful and joyous new year. Not Too Late Chowan County people have little to be proud of in a report by Mrs. Duke Cropsey, executive secretary of the district Tuberculosis Association, of which Chowan is a part. According to Mrs. Cropsey, 1,885 letters were mailed in Chowan County in which were batches of Christmas Seals. Os this number only 604 letters were returned ■which netted $732 toward the county’s quota of $2,400. It should be understood that the sale of these seals is the only source of income in the fight to wipe out tu berculosis. It is used in making X-rays, health educa tion, case-finding, medical research and rehabilitation, all of which are necessary if a check on tuberculosis is to be made. Eighty per cent of the money raised re mains in Chowan County and it is obvious that not much work along this line can be done with 80 per cent of $732—5585.60. With mass X-ray units scheduled to come in the district in June and July, the case load and case-finding will be still heavier, so that more money will he necessary. It is not believed that Chowan County people are dis interested in reducing and even stamping out tubercu losis within the confines of the county, but rather that they have overlooked or forgotten to send in their con tributions. It is not too late, so that an appeal is made for anybody who will to send in whatever amount they can so that the fight against tuberculosis may continue. List Property Earlv With the arrival of January a duty falls upon every taxpayer in that he or she must file property for the purpose of taxation. It is an old custom for it is remem bered that Jesus was bom when his parents had traveled a long distance in order to be taxed. It is not so much of a hardship today, for here in Cho wan County tax listers will be stationed at convenient places during the month of January to list polls and Wfkb 111 \ joHN DE®* P | fjeirtVe ****fUkgEESSm \ \ J///) meat.

C, THTOBPAT. DECEMBER M. W 3. | Heard & Seen] By “Buff” 1 ! Little children sometimes have more sense than we fhinir Take little Jeanette Lee for instance. After she : had received her Christmas presents she began to sing j “Happy Birthday.” Her mother, interrupted by saying “Why, Jeanette, this isn’t your birthday.” But the little girl continued her song and wound up by singing “Happy birthday, dear Jesus, happy birthday to you.” Well, ac- J cording to the way some people act on Christmas they don’t even know they are celebrating the birthday of i Jesus. The little girl’s song was very appropriate, me thinks. < o i Some women should be more careful about hanging out i their clothes when washing. A certain woman, maybe a little short, one night last week, washed her panties and J hung ’em on a line to dry about night, tater her hus- ( band walked in the back yard and happened to run into a piece of wet clothing. Upon entering the house he asked his wife, “Did you wash today?” The wife re- . plied, “No, why?” “Well,” said the husband, “while walking in the yard I ran into a sheet hanging on the ] clothes line.” What a woman! o One or two days during the Christmas holidays were ■ fittin’ for goose hunting, but I didn’t want to go with 1 Asa Griffin. The last time I went with him we had to walk about a mile to a blind and every time Asa took ( one step I had to take two in order to keep up with him. . Then when we had to cross some fences Asa could swing his legs over the fence while I had to lay down my gun i and do a little climbing as well as get loose from the wire. As a result when we reached the blind I was just about all in. Maybe it was good that the geese didn’t fly near our blind, for I doubt if I could have raised my | gun to my shoulders for a while at least. o An interesting letter received over the holidays came ■ from Wayne L. Starr of Pittsburgh, Pa. The letter fol lows: “Dear Sir, I have had the opportunity of late to read , copies of your paper which are sent to a friend of mine. I get much delight out of reading them although I don’t know the people whose names appear in them. “Truly you must all be very proud of your town and of the surrounding country. My roommate has spoken so well of it and the beautiful old homes. “I first became familiar with that particular part of the country through the writings of Mrs. Fletcher whose books I have enjoyed very much. “It would give me great pleasure if someday it will be possible for me to come and see these many things I have heard and read about for myself. “If everything is as nice, and the people as friendly as I have come to believe, yours must be a wonderful com munity in which to live.” o Les Layton didn’t enjoy the Christmas holidays as much as he would have liked to because he was nursing a painful rising on his shoulder. And to add to his mis ery he put some sort of ointment on the rising which, he said, felt like it was pulling out his backbone. Anyway, he managed to stay together until the rising came to a ( head. j o Maurice Bunch must not be over the holidays yet. When leaving home Wednesday morning he put on a vest only to find that he already had a vest on. He took one off and raced down to the post office and when reaching for his box key he was surnrised to find no pockets in the vest. But then he discovered that he had his vest on inside out. He was wondering what kind of a doctor to go see. personal property. Though paying taxes has never been popular, generally speaking, it is a duty which must be performed if one likes it or not. The law specifies that property must be listed during the month of January and failure to do so will result in a penalty. For that reason every taxpayer should at tend to this matter as early in the month as possible. It is so easy to forget and those who wait until the last minute will, of course, be obliged to await their turn, thus adding more inconvenience and unpleasantness not only for themselves but the tax listers as well. w M V w J'w M w M M- M Mm m B B M M m M M m A -jßiiiißr t . .
