FOR TODAY it .. . behold now is the day ... II Cor. 6:2. TOMORROW, and tomorrow, and tomorrow- creeps in this pettv pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted tools the way to dustv death. Shakespeare. Dear Father, let us not build our lives upon future hopes, but upon Thy promises for today that we may have Christ in our hearts here and now. Goal Far Short During the past week $15,000 in stock purchases in . the Edenton Development Corporation has been added to the $20,000 heretofore reported so that sales as,of Wed- ; iiesday stand at $35,000, which is a long way from tht | goal of a minimum of SIOO,OOO. Os course, the report of stock salesmen is far from be ing complete, but many more will he obliged to purchase stock and others increase their purchases if the goal is to be realized. , It would be hard, most likely, to find many people in Edenton and Chowan County who see no advantage in new industries locating in the community. And it must be frankly stated that unless local people fork up money in the form of an investment. Edenton stands little chance to land any of thd industries which at the present time are seeking locations far removed from the metropolitan areas. . * Money in the corporation will be used to secure sites or buildings for prospective industries, which will be paid back to the corporation in the form of rent. The payrolls, of course, will benefit local business, but not only busi ness but all phases of community life will also be bene fitted. The proposition boils down to the fact that if Edenton and Chowan County want new industries and added pay rolls, citizens in general must be willing to make an in vestment in the future of the town and county. Other communities smaller than Edenton have raised enough money to bring in new industries and this com munity is able, if it will, to do the same. Firemen Did Good Job Edenton experienced its most disastrous fire in recent years Friday afternoon when the merchandise and fix tures of the Malone 5 and 10-cent Store were a total loss and the huilding also badly damaged. Two adjoin ing stores, the Elliott Company and Hughes-Parker Hardware Store were also threatened, but due to the ef ficient work of Edenton firemen and fire fighters and equipment from the Edenton Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field, the fire was confined to the Malone store. The fire could have very easily spread to adjoining business houses and played havoc with a goodly portion of the busin- ,-s block, so that while the damage is regret ted the situation could have been far worse than it is. The fire fighters did a good job at holding the dam age to a minimum and preventing a conflagration which could have badly crippled Edenton’s business activities so that The Herald compliments the firefighters and ex tends its sympathy to those who were victims of the fire. ■ i AUGUST SALE Os All New Fall | COATS and SUITS 10% off During Our August Sale 1 I USE OUR LAY AWAY PLAN OR USE | YOUR CHARGE ACCOUNT j Th is Is Y our Opportunity To Save I ALL SUMMER MERCHANDISE HAS BEEN I REDUCED AT AND BELOW COST | s&*£ SlUjpjp© .* Page Four THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C„ TfIUKSDAY. AUGUST 5, 1954. I Heard & Seen! | By “Buff” j Miss Goldie Layton’s home had all the aspects of a funeral the other day except for the fact that there was !no corpse. It all happened when Goldie’s parakeet slip ped out the door and hasn’t been seen since. Goldie says the parakeet was the talkingest bird she had ever seen and is willing to pay a generous reward if anybody finds and returns it to her. The parakeet flew on Miss Lay ton’s shoulder as she opened a screen door and was talk ing when the door made sort of a slam, which apparent ly scared the bird and away it flew. Since the bird flew away, Goldie has been looking up every tree she comes to and told me the other day she never knew there were so many sparrows in town. However, to date she hasn t I seen anything of Skippy—her light blue parakeet, but if it is found and returned, the Layton home will, no doubt, take on as much rejoicing as was the case in the return of the prodigal son. :—— -o Frank Twiddy was carrying the West Side mail last week for Charlie Swanner, who was on a vacation and i had a new experience for a mail man. When Frank 1 opened the mail box at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam I Moore in Morris Circle a flock of unfriendly wasps emerg ed. Frank had a busy time for a little while, for he was ! stung on the nose, on the forehead and one even got in his hair when he took off his hat to chase the scudders away. He wants to know what Charlie does to keep on the good side of the wasps. —— o ——- According to latest reports the new Masonic temple ’ will be completed within a very few weeks. The Masons I will have u big dedication service in connection with the completion of the building when the Grand Lodge of j North Carolina will convene and many Masons from the eastern part of the State Will attend. The Masons will I also Observe open house the Sunday following the dedi j cation so that the people of Edenton and surrounding territory may have an opportunity to see- the building j inside and out. The next function closely following will be a banquet for members of Unanimity Lodge, their wives and members of the Eastern Star. The Masons have every right to be proud of their temple, which is the envy of every Masonic lodge in the eastern part of the State. o Os course, owners of the concerns affected by Friday’s fire in the business section were very much concerned while the firemen were fighting the blaze, but their con cern hardly eclipsed that of a couple of boys who were watching the fire. Standing in front of W. E. Malone's 5 and 10-cent Store, one of ’em said to the other, “Gosh just think of all that ice cream and candy which is being ruined.” o Shortly after daylight one morning last week one of our local fishermen called a friend on the phone. In a gruff voice the fellow who was aroused from his slum ber said “Hello.” But before very few words passed he added, “Why in the devil have you called me so early?” The answer was “Well, I’m going fishing and wondered if you'd like to go along.” It made a difference for the sleepy fellow soon was wide awake and replied, “Why. sure, I'll be right over.” It makes a difference, you see. o Mayor Leroy Haskett was in a good humor early this week when making his usual call to collect insurance. In fact, he said he was mighty proud of three departments of the town. In the first place, he said, the firemen did a splendid job in fighting the fire Friday afternoon at Malone’s 5 and 10-cent Store. Then, the police did a splendid piece of work in solving a check forging case and to top it off, he said, he saw one of the town’s trash truck drivers get out of the truck and help to load some of the debris caused by Monday night’s storm. Well, that’s one time the cops, firemen and Street Department got a pat on the back instead of a cussin’ out. 1 ; . o —— For a little while some fans at the hall game Tuesday night were a hit befuddled to know if it was Edenton or Rocky Hock playing Elizabeth City. The reason was that Gasbouse Parker, for many years a fixture on Colonial teams, was playing with Rocky Hock. Gasbouse -didn’t make a hit, but I heard an Elizabeth City fan say that in Elizabeth City lie hit a ball that looked as though it would land on the Camden Court House.
