THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1954 A LIFT FOR TODAY it The Lord your God goeth before you, he shall fight for you.—Deut. 1:30. IT IS GOOD to know that in our bitterest hour the great hear of The Infinite is touched by our need; he will help us accomplish what would he impossible without his sustaining power. Help us. O God. to draw near unto Thee and receive strength and courage from Thee. Can Or Will You Give Again? It is generally known that an emergency cam paign is now in progress to raise funds for tire March of Dimes, which has been necessary to cover the mounting costs involved in treating the disease as well as the increasing number of victims of in fantile paralysis. Chowan Countv made a good showing in the first March of Dimes drive in January of this year, and the editor of The Herald, who is chairman nt the Chowan County Chapter of the National Foun dation for Infantile Paralysis, has had difficulty in securing anyone to direct a second campaign. i However, there are surely some people in ('ho- , wan County who will want to make another con tribution toward the fight against polio, so that anv contributions sent or brought to The Herald office will be turned over for that purpose. To date two people. I. G. Perry and F. A. Bug" have contributed a total of sls. Chowan County should, of course, join with nth- j er counties in raising more money in this emer gency to the end that no victim of infantile paraly sis shall go untreated due to financial conditions of their families. This extra money is needed now and The Her ald’s editor will be delighted to receive contribu tions in anv amount. They Need Help Principal Gerald James of the Edenton Junior- Senior High School, this week submitted a finan cial statement for last year's football season. This ■ information is embodied in a story elsewhere in this week's Herald, and should set at ease the ap parent belief on the part of some that money is T made hand over fist during the football season at the Edenton school. It is true, according to the figures, that football brings in a substantial amount of revenue, but it > is also true that other sports at the school are car ried on at a loss, so that football receipts have been used to pay expenses of other athletics. Mr. James also points out that approximately ' 50 per cent of students in the 9th through the 12th I grades last year participated, directly or. in one or more inter-scholastic sports after school j hours which, of course, requires funds for uniforms and equipment. No money is allocated from state or local funds for this phase of school work, so that the expenses must come from gate receipts, which in all too many instances are deplorably meagre. So. in order to adequately carry on an inter- | scholastic athletic program, the school has adopted a plan to 'ell two sets of tickets, one is a book pro- ' viciing reserved seats at all home football games. j admission to 10 basketball games and five baseball | games, and is being sold at $7.50. quite a saving if a person pays to see all the games. The other is a season ticket for home football games, the cost of which is $5.00. Through the sale of these tickets, it is hoped to raise enough money to pay out in football, as well as have a surplus left to apply to other sports. The Jaycees and VFW members are pushing the sale of these tickets and they, as well as school of ficials. are hopeful that many friends of the school in Edenton will buy them, thus helping to build up morale in the realization that Edenton people are backing the school and sports, and also helping to eliminate one of the many headaches—finances. Regardless of your state of rrfind, you are a very lucky person and you can prove it to yourself by looking around you. When the great men of this earth are revealed in the happy hereafter, there will be many sur prises. It’s surprising how few breaks really deserving people sometimes get. A good church is that way because those running it are on the job. Page Six THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON* N. C, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1954. ! Heard & Seen j By “Buff” A week or two ago I had something to say in this column about one of my brothers going to Cali fornia and getting a belly full of the place in less than three months, subsequently trailing back to • his home town in Pennsylvania. I wound up the paragraph by saying ‘‘Give me good old Edenton in which to live.” Well, Mrs. W. C. Bunch has been living at Mammoth Spring. Arkansas, just a short time and she sent back the clipping with a big “Amen" written at the bottom. Which reminds me that there’s some people who continually criticize and bellyache about Edenton. but if some of ’em | would go elsewhere for a while, maybe their tune ! would change a bit. O Fishing is just about my favorite sport, but I had a new experience Sunday afternoon, for in order to try to catch a fish it was almost necessary to fight to get a line in the water. It all happened on one of the piers at Nags Head when Frank Hughes. I Maynard Perry. Doc Downum and I suddenly de | cided to run down to try our luck. Although the ■ | bloomin' fish were not biting up to par. the pier put a fellow in mind of the crowds which gathered | some years ago when sugar, coffee and other items | were rationed and a shipment arrived in local stores. ! When a man or woman (and there were as many women as men fishing) caught a fish or two it was only a matter of seconds until a fellow couldn’t' even get up to the rail of the pier at that point, which meant that lines got all tangled up and even when a fish was pulled in, the lucky person was not known until several lines were untangled. I like to fish, but do not enjoy pushing, squeezing, shov ing and almost fighting in order to catch a fish. 1 \nd. iuckv for me. I can say fish in the plural for I caught a total of four fish. I’ve heard of W. E. j Malone referred to as One-Fish Malone but I can now refer to Doc Downum as Xo-Fish Downum. Doc didn't catch a single fish in the water, but be fore coming home he was given a blue fish by the fellow wh > operates the pier. Just wanted to make that statement in order to keep the record straight, j AM of which again strengthens mv belief that for the most part a fellow can have just about as much pleasure fishing in this neck of the woods than driv ing in the neighborhood of 100 miles to wet a hook j —and it's cheaper, too. . o—. —— It was a happy group of men Sunday when the Edenton Heavy Mortar Company of the National | Guard returned from two weeks training at Fort McClellan in Alabama. Os course, there were some happy people also who were just as glad as they were to see 'em home again. One of these was lit tle Richard Bass. When his daddy. Hoskin Bass, left for camp, he was told his daddy was over at the armory, and several days later when his daddy didn't return he said to his mother. “Mama. let’s I. .go over to the armory and turn daddy out.” i. - n I.inwood Earl Davenport helped boost cigar sales | a little this week. He dropped in the office Mon day and forked out two cigars. I thought he was [ “overpaying” me. but he said “twins.” His wife. ! the former Miss Nora Fee White, presented him j i two bouncing boys in Chowan Hospital Sunday. My congratulations to both of ’em and thanks for ' j two cigars to smoke Sunday. — —: At about the time The Herald crew was scramb- ■! Mug to get the final four pages of the paper on the i nr:" this week, there was a scramble at the school I houses, for the new term of school opened Wednes day morning. At the Elementary School so many ! cars were on the school grounds and adjoining | streets that it looked as though a free show was in progress. However, with youngsters hanging around ■ the house for about three months, lots of mothers | -be a sigh of relief now that school has started 1 | and the kids wal be in school instead of tormenting tlvMu most of the day. But—pitv some of the teachers! o Another example of cooperation on the part of the Edenton Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field occurred just before The Herald went to press. Chaplain Dean K. Yeltman dropped in the office to secure containers in order to collect con tributions from the Marines at the base, many of whom, he said, wanted to add their hit in' the emergency March of Dimes campaign. So far as I can remember, ever since the base has been in Edenton, there has not been a single time when the Marines threw a wet blanket on any worthwhile proiect in Edenton—which is more than can be said of some Edentonians. Anyway, the chairman ship of the Chowan Chapter of the National Foun dation for Infantile Paralysis was wished on me many years ago and. not being able so secure any one to head up this emergency March of Dimes drive. I’ll be very glad to receive contributions in any amount. o Edenton made preparations for the hurricane which was to strike Monday night, but it failed to show up. It was better to be prepared and no storm strike than to have the hurricane swoop down and not be prepared.

The inter scholastic sports program is financed wholly from gate receipts, for no money is allocated from state or local funds. He also states that gate re ceipts from football have in the past had to finance the basketball and base, ball programs. In order to provide financial support for an adequate interscholastic ath letic program at the school, it is hop ed. therefore, that many fans and friends of the school will become members of the Booster's Club by pur chasing the Booster’s Club book of tickets or the football season ticket. “MARY ANNE” SERIAL NOW IN BALTIMORE AMERICAN America’s newest, best-selling novel, “Mary Anne,” by Daphne Du Maurier, is yours to enjoy in a great newspaper serial.
