Eph. 3:8, 9 RADIATION of the Spirit of Christ proves to our fel lowmen that we have heard Him and believed on His Holy Word. We thank Thee, O God, for Thy promise—“My grace is sufficient for Thee.” Fish Hatchery Rumors Rumors have been going the rounds that the U. S. Fish Hatchery at Edenton is scheduled to be closed the last of this month and that W. C. Bunch, superintendent will be transferred to another hatchery. In order to secure accurate information, a letter was written to Congressman Herbert Bonner to check on the accuracy of the rumor. Mr Bonner’s letter follows: “I have your letter of the 11th in regard to the Eden ton Fish Hatchery. “Some time ago I heard that there was a rumor with respect to its closing. I talked to Mr. Day, Assistant Director of Fish and Wildlife, last week at which time he told me that it was very expensive to operate the Edenton Hatchery and the service felt that a better job | could be done by consolidating their efforts with exist ing hatcheries in other parts of the state. He advised me that he and Mr. Farley, the new Director, would come by and see me sometime this week. I will do all I can to retain the hatchery' at its present operation." Not Merely A Donation This week a batch of letters were mailed in Chowan County requesting contributions to the 1954 Heart Fund in the American Heart Association’s efforts to reduce deaths due to heart causes. In 1962, latest year for which figures are available from the National Office of Vital Statistics, heart and circulatory diseases caused 771,000 deaths or 51.6 per cent of all deaths. For the same year the next highest causes of death were: Cancer, 224.000; accidents, 95.- 000; pneumonia, 47,000; tuberculosis, 25,000. and dia betes, 25,000 —a total of 416.000 for the five. About 10.000.000 persons, cr one out of every 16, suf fer from some form of heart or blood vessel disease. Os these, about 500.000 are elementary and high school chil dren. Heart diseases affect people in all age levels and economic groups. After the age of 45, they cause one of every two deaths. Unknown to medical science are the. causes of rheu matic fever, high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis. However, the outlook is hopeful that both causes, and controls will ultimately he discovered. It is now known that prompt and efficient medical treatment of strepto coccal, sore throat with penicillin may prevent develop ment of rheumatic fever. Notable surgical procedures have been perfected, remarkable tools have been develop ed for the diagnosis and study of these diseases, and many new drugs have been formulated that are effective in the care and treatment of diseases of the heart. Each year at least T 52.100.000 man-days are lost as a result of heart and circulatory diseases. The cost is even more staggering in terms of loss of life, human suf fering, and treatment programs. With emphasis on the hope that contributions may speed solutions of the problems of heart disease, mem bers of the Chowan Committee hope what contributions are made locally will be viewed more in the light of an investment than a donation: Laws and commandments, in the opinion of some, were made to guide the other fellow always. Th» person who has no appreciation of the beautiful in life has not been properly educated. Be very careful about making promises; some of them can be collected in court.

EDENTON. N. C„ THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 18, 1954. Heard & Seen By “Buff” With the U. S. Fish Hatchery in Edenton reported to be closed the last of February, quite a bit of comment has been heard regarding what use Uncle Sam will make of the property. Some have advanced the idea that it would make a splendid park and if fixed up properly would attract tourists. Another idea is that it would be an ideal spot for a swrimming pool. But if the hatchery is closed, nobody at present knows what Uncle Sam in tends to do. o With the weather warming up a bit, it looks like the baseball bug is beginning to w'iggle a little. A group of baseball fans gathered in the Court House last week to sound out sentiment regarding reviving the Albemarle League. Well, we’ve had some more or less big time ! baseball in Edenton the past few years, but here’s one who does not recall any more interest and larger attend ance than we had during the old Albemarle League days. And here’s one, too, who hopes the surrounding towns will again get together and fight it out on the baseball diamond. Time was w'hen we had a good baseball team and a sorry diamond. Now' we have a good baseball field and no baseball team. , o With weather moderating considerably the past few days, a fellow again sees cars driving along with fish ing poles sticking out the side window. For one thing the bloomin’ fish have had a good rest during the cold and unfavorable weather of the past several weeks, so that they ought to go to biting. Whether they ■will or not. I don’t know'. You just can’t catch ’em if they will not bite. o Chowan Tribe of Red Men observed Past Sachems’ night at its meeting Monday night and a few of ’em were sort of nervous. The old timers had to carry on the meeting and it’s for suie some of ’em were a little rusty with the work. Wonder what they would have done if j they were called upon to confer an initiation. In a pamphlet I read the other day I came upon a list of “Three Sweetest Words.” Here they are: “I love you,” “Enclosed find check,” "Let me help,” “Dinner is ready,” “Vacation with pay,” “Keep the change,” “Show ers and cooler,” “Have a drink,” “all is forgiven,” “Go ing back home.” o As of today our mailing list will be a little more up-to date. In a letter from Gecola Ward, who is stationed at Gulfport. Miss., she informs me that for over a year now her name was changed to Gecola Gober. Then, too, she was listed as a corporal in the United States Army, but since April, 1952, she has had the rating of staff ser geant. Anyway, she has been receiving The Herald de spite her new name and rating, and she says, “I do en joy The Chowan Herald. It’s the only way I can keep up with Edenton and the folks there.” o There evidently must be a lot of sickness. While pass ing a doctor’s office Tuesday night the crowd in the 1 office reminded me of the days when sugar and other items were rationed—chairs were filled and it looked as j though standing room was at a premium. o Right many favorable comments have been received regarding the personal items now appearing in The Her ald. Ladies of one of the Methodist societies are now furnishing personals and they’re doing a good job. My hat’s, off to them. Incidentally,*if these ladies happen to miss an item, just call The Herald and it will appear in the paper. We’re glad to publish the goings and comings of our people. o Today is February 18, which means that March 15 is just about 25 days off. Some folks have already filled out their income reports—others will wait until about March 13 or 14. In which group are you? ————o “All things come to him who waits” is the belief of Clyde Slade, one of the colored boys who works for the Herald. Almost a year ago Clyde lost his wallet in which was about $4.00, his social security card and some other papers and pictures. The other day he received his j wallet in the mail, but that’s all it was—his wallet. Not a single thing was in it and besides the wallet looked as though it had rough treatment. If the party makes him self known Clyde will let him keep the wallet. o Mr. and Mrs. George Harrell returned home Tuesday | j after spending over a month at West Palm Beach, Tam | pa and St Petersburg, Florida. Mrs. Harrell’s sister, Mrs. George E. Privott, spent two weeks with them in 1 Florida, and all report a wonderful time in Florida. New Books At Shepard-Pruden Library Mrs. C.
