THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1954 aTiftTortoday Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.—l Cor. 13:1. The place of charity, or love, like that of God, is everywhere. Our Father, help us to love others and to be kind and friendly as Jesus was. Encouraging An Edenton group is to be commended for the interest taken in having some branch of the State government take over the U. S. Fish Hatchery at Edenton which was closed July 1. It is understood that the Federal govern ment will turn over the six-acre property in fee simple. Closed only since the first of July, already there are signs of deterioration, so that instead of a place of beauty and attractiveness, the place stands in good stead to become an eyesore. The Edenton group, composed of Mayor Leroy Has kett, Geddes Potter, J. H. Conger, Gibson Brickie and William P. Jones, went to Raleigh Friday in order to con fer with Governor William B. Umstead, and the chief executive was interested to such an extent that he called in the heads of various departments and instructed them to come to Edenton at an early date to inspect the fish hatchery property with a view to the State taking it over. It would be little short of a crime to allow the prop erty to become an eyesore and eventually be sold by the government in a run-down condition. The site would be very valuable to the community in a number of respects, even if it used only as a picnic grounds or a place to attract tourists to tarry for a while to rest. The Herald hopes the delegation from Raleigh will be favorably impressed with the property to such an ex tent that they will recommend that the State will take it over. The “good old days" are gone but there are people who think they would like to have them back. A budget is a good thing for any family if the family will carry it out, but it lyon’t work miracles by itself. Friendly criticism may be extremely hopeful though it is not pleasant to the ear. What has become of the old-fashioned man who be lieved that great wisdom was to be found in the nation’s capital ?

I Heard & Seen I By “Buff" —;—— - - » Miss Mamie Hogg had a birthday Friday and she sayß she didn’t kno\y there were so many “mocking birds’’ in Edenton who,pould sing “Happy Birthday” so beautifully byway of the - telephone. These greetings made her very happy and Miss Mamie says that, while she remembers the date of her birthday very well, she has a rather hard time to remember the number of years she’s been around. Well, a lot of us would like to clip off some of ’em, but it just will not work. o A fellow called in the office Saturday morning to mail a few paper to friends. He had labels already addressed to stick on the paper and as he licked one label his face puckered up a bit, as he said, “I don’t see why in the dickens they don’t flavor that paste with chocolate.” Well, some other flavor would do just as good.' Mrs. George Byrum the other day received a card sent from Bergen, Norway, sent by Miss Elizabeth Lar- I rick, a former Edenton school teacher. Miss Larrick left New York June 25 on the S. S. United States for a tour of Europe and she says it seems like a dream. She has taught school in Washington, D. C., since she left Eden ton, but it’s so long ago I’m wondering how many of her former Edenton pupils she’d recognize if she happened td visit Edenton one ot these days. Yep, time passes swiftly. Jim Daniels was a “hot sister” Tuesday afternoon. Due to ill health of Dr. J. A. Powell, Jim has been acting president of the Edenton Colonials. On Tuesday police were instructed to move the sign at the intersection of Broad and Queen Streets which advertises the games on Hicks Field, so that Jim was about as “hot” inside as he was out, and he was popping off on the outside, when 1 saw him. Besides, he was giving a wad of chewing gum a fit as he was trying to figure out a reason why the sign was ordered removed at a time when the baseball club needs all the fans at the games it can get in ordpr to pay out. At any rate Town Council allowed the sign to remain until the baseball are over. Town Clerk Ernest J. Ward, Jr., doesn’t smoke and, therefore, is not accustomed to carrying cigars around in his pockets. But he did just that on Saturday morning. His shirt pocket was bulging out with cigars and, smil ing all over his face, he was passing ’em around. Rea son! Well, he became the daddy of a 7-pound, 7-ounce daughter in Chowan Hospital Friday night at 10 o’clock. He was not as nervous Saturday morning as he was sev eral hours before the arrival of Miss Ward at the hos pital. The newcomer’s name is Joanne Marian Ward. Then again at Town Council meeting Tuesday night he tigain passed out cigars. It was a good week for cigars, for Johnny Oliver also stopped his car on Broad Street to hand me a stogie. He’s tne daddy of a baby boy. o ■■ ■ ■ Rain or not, quite a few folks living in the Advance community enjoyed a chicken fry Monday night of last week. Rain began to fall just after the chicken was fried and despite a strong wind, flashes' of lightning and a downpour of rain the group enjoyed a bountiful meal. But when it came time to go home the lawn was slick and water gathered so that it was necessary to remove shoes as folks waded in water to reach their cars. With some strong pushing all cars moved away and everyone apparently enjoyed a wonderful evening. Well, that’s the way a lot of picnics wind up, but they’re fun just the same. o It’s a small world. Take Carey Bunch, who is now at' the U. S. Fisheries Station at Mammoth Spring, Ark. j Carey wrote a brief note the other day saying: “I have ; run across one other Edentonian since I have been in Ar- | kansas. He was Willis Jordan, brother-in-law of Tom Goodman. He lives in St. Louis and was over in Arkan sas on a fishing trip. I guess you will meet someone you , know most anywhere now a days. This is a great fish ing country.” i —im—ir~n~n—r- ~ ~■—ir— r--r ~ Revival Services Begin At BaHanTs Bridge August 15 Rev. Chas. W.

Holmes was the principal speaker at the Edenton Rotary Club’s meeting Thursday afternoon. Mr Holmes explained the duties of a Ro tary district governor, who will visit the Edenton club early in September, as well as pointing out what a Rotary governor reasonably expects from a (Rotary Club. j Mr. Holmes urged President Gilliam I Wood to hold a club assembly before I the governor’s visit so that reports can be submitted relative to organization' and programs and activities of the| .various committees reported. Farmers Urged To Send Soil Samples I Chowan farmers who are planning i to establish a permanent pasture this fall are urged to take a soil sample jand send it to the Soil Testing Lab oratory, North Carolina Department of (Agriculture at Raleigh, immediately, j In case a soil sample has not already been takn and lime applied to the . land, the soil samnle for pasture 'should be marked “For Lime Only”.
