ATr^TToiTTODAY ★ If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink. ( —Proverbs 25:21. LOVING KINDNESS is greater than law; and the charities of life are more than all ceremonies—Talmud Cleanse our hearts of all bitterness, O Lord, and fill them with Thy Spirit of love and understanding. Red Cross Needs More Support Chowan County usually does its just share when call ed upon, but according to actual facts the county has no reason to be exceptionally proud of its support of the Red Cross. Last year in the neighborhood of $1,400 was realized by contributions, of which amount $726 was retained for work in Chowan County, but total expenditures of the Chapter for the year were $1,296, a deficit of $570. With the Chapter retaining $726, even the pro rata share of the blood program was not met which was $Bl7. This year’s quota in the Red Cross Fund Raising Drive is $3,500. which if realized will result in the Chapter receiving $1,785, which is more in keeping with the Chap ter needs in its various activities during the year. The 1954 Fund Raising Drive is scheduled to begin to day (Thursday) and Chairman N. J. George has appoint ed a group of capable canvassers in the hope that every home in the county will be solicited for a contribution. These canvasers will make a sacrifice of time and energy to secure contributions, but unless more people open their I pursestrings the drive will again wind up short of the I goal. Chowan County can easily and should raise $3,500 for the Red Cross, an organization which is ready and willing to give aid in an emergency wherever and whenever one occurs. If more people throughout the county will make even a small contribution the drive will have a better chance of being realized. In fact more people should take part, for the Red Cross is not for any particular person 1 or group of persons, but for all people. Consider the merits of the Red Cross and after some thought .to its work, be as liberal as you can with your contribution. Os course, in a county-wide drive some homes and peo ple are certain to be missed, but this should not be. an excuse to withhold a contribution. Mr. George, or any of the drive workers will be glad to receive any amount. Unusual Opportunity People in this vicinity will have an opportunity to hear j an opera when “Carmen” is scheduled to be presented in | the Elementary' School auditorium tonight (Thursday) I at 8 o’clock. The opera will be sung in English and is sponsored by the Edenton Parent-Teacher Association. Good music is good for the soul and the opera should, therefore, attract just as large a crowd as do some of the hill-billy programs. Besides, what profits are realized will go to the PTA and will be used for worthwhile pro jects in connection with our schools. If for no other rea son. many people should buy a ticket even if they have no desire to hear first class singing. Seldom is the opportunity presented to hear an opera except by going a long distance, so that the auditorium should be filled to capacity.

N. C., THURSDAY. MARCH 4, 1954. »——- | Heard & Seen j By “Buff'’ Joe Webb was telling the County Commissioners Mon day that while coffee prices are going up, the price of eggs is going down. Last Saturday he went into a gro cery store and asked how many dozen eggs it will take to trade for a pound of coffee. He was told it will take three dozen. “Well,” said Joe, “You can keep your cof fee—l’ll eat my eggs and drink water.” That’s what a lot of us ought to do and let the coffee profiteers drink their own bloomin’ coffee. o And speaking about the County Commissioners, it is necessary sometimes to come back for an afternoon meet ing, as was the case Monday. West Byrum, the chairman, congenial and good-natured as he is, usually says, “Well, fellows, come along and have dinner with me.” But on Monday West was reminded of what a Commissioner said some years ago following the invitation. “No thank you,” said the Commissioner, “I’m hungry today, so I think 1 I’ll go to a restaurant and eat.” o At a Rotary meeting Judge Marvin Wilson was folding up some paper and suddenly a sheet of it was sailing over the room just like an airplane. One of the Rotar ians remarked. “I didn’t think you knew anything about making paper toys.” Marvin replied, “Shucks I didn’t ' go to college so long for nothing.” o The County Commissioners had a rather pleasant duty to perform Monday when they approved Miss Hattie Singletary as home agent to succeed Mrs. Imogene Coch rane, who will resign April 1 prior to her wedding, and also Miss Clara Mason as assistant home agent. After the young ladies were introduced and given a fine rec ommendation by Mrs. Esther G. Willis, district home agent. Chairman West Byrum asked the Commissioners if they had anything to say. Acting first on Miss Sin- 1 gletary’s approval, Commissioner “Winks” Bond lost no 1 time in saying “She looks good to me.” And a little la ter when a motion for approval was in order, “Winks” said “I make a motion to approve both of ’em” before my of the other Commissioners had a chance to put in a word. At any rate, the Commissioners were favorably impressed with both young ladies, who also appeared de lighted with the opportunity to work in Chowan County. The only suggestion the Commissioners made is that I they don't find themselves a husband too soon. | o Edenton’s Aces wound up the basketball season Friday night when they defeated Tarboro 54-34. During the sea son the Aces have hot hung up such an impressive rec ord with six victories and 13 defeats, hut some of the games were mighty close. The girls didn’t have the op portunity to taste of victory in a single game this sea son. Well, maybe they figured somebody had to lose, i At any rate, it isn’t a disgrace to lose so long as each player has done his or her best. o Quite an improvement is noted at St. Paul's Church yard. where the old brick wall has been rebuilt and the wooden fence properly put in place. The work, just com pleted, adds considerably to the appearance of the old churchyard. _o So far as 1 can see. March came in like a lion on Mon day. so that maybe the old idea will hold true that it will go out like a lamb. For a few days a fellow had a | hard time holding on to his hat. Col. Bill Rosevear at the recent Rotary Assembly held ! at Rocky Mount won a rather unusual prize. It is a j week’s free stay at the Ricks Hotel for any couple who will spend their second honeymoon in Rocky Mount. Bill is trying to sell the prize, but up to last reports he still had the prize. Anybody want to buy it—at a bargain ? o, Two of the boys at my house were talking the other day about etiquette, and one said to the other, “You don’t have any manners at all. What would you do if mamma brought in a visitor while you were looking at television and no more chairs were vacant?” The other boy immediately said, “I do have manners, I’d say hello.” WHliamstOQfants To Play League Ball Expresses Desire to Join If Albemarle League Is Revived Another town this week has ex pressed interest in joining the propos ed revival of the Albemarle League when W. M. Cozart received a letter from Turner Leggett of Williamston. Mr. Leggett stated that Williamston is definitely interested in being a member of the league if organized. Williamston, it will be remembered, had a strong team and a large fol lowing in the old Albemarle League days, and it is believed the club will be able to make a strong bid for the championship. Mr. Cozart has invited Mr. Leggett to attend the next meeting of base ball representatives from the various towns which will probably be held next, week. County Bonds And ; Coupons Ordered Paid ; W. W. Byrum, chairman of the Cho wan County Commissioners, was au thorized at a meeting of the board I Monday morning to make two pay-1 ments on the county’s indebtedness. > One was a payment of $7,638.58 which will be due March 15 and rep resents school building bonds and cou pons. The other payment is for $20.- 123.99 and falls due April 1, which represents road and bridge bonds and coupons and school building bonds and coupons. CELEBRATES 80th BIRTHDAY Mrs. R. F.
