A LIFT FOR TODAY
I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting
up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.—-I Tim.
2:8.
No faith, no holy living—no hope in this life nor
for the life to come, without the constant outreach
of our lives to God.
Our Father, teach us to pray with complete trust
in Thy infinite love. and give us open hearts to re
reive Thy message.
More Can Help
Latest reports are to the effect that contri
butions for the Empty Stocking Fund are only
about a third as much had been received as was
given last year at the same time. This is an
unselfish service rendered by the Empty Stock
in'; Fund in which unfortunate children and
adults as well are remembered during Christ
mas, thus making the celebration a little hap
pier than would be the case without it.
Then The Herald is reminded that there are j
quite a few non-family people in ( howan
Countv whose outlook for Christmas is ju>t
about as bright as any other day. The Wel
fare Department can furni-h names of this :
group of people if anybody is willing to see that
they are remembered on Christmas.
Then, too, the more contributions, cash and
otherwise, received by the Empty Stocking
Fund, the more unfortunate people will he
made happier on tHis the greatest of all holi
days. Many of us can give at least a little ,
which will not even he missed in order to help
make some unfortunate child or adult a hit hap
pier and thus enjoy Christmas, a day of good
cheer.
We’re For Him
While not a member of the American Legion,
the editor of The Herald would, if he were,
have no hesfiancy in endorsing John A. Holmes
for the nomination of Commander of the State
Department of the American Legion.
Mr. Holmes is at present commander of the
Ed Bond Post, which includes enough enthusi- j
a-tie members to make their ambition known in
State circles. He has filled just about every
position in the local post, as well as in the
district. The Herald, therefore, joins the Leg
ionnaires in the belief that no better man than
Mr. Holmes can be found in the entire State j
to fill this position.
If elected Mr. Holmes will, without doubt,
bring credit to himself. Ed Bond Post. and the j
entire American Legion organization in North
Carolina. The Herald hopes local Legion
naires will ,-ucceed in having their candidate
nominated and, of course, elected.
Let’s Be Careful
It i> a tragic fact that 11.000 persons die ev
ery year as a result of fire. Still more tragic i- j
the fact that at least 2.000 are children, most
of them under five years of age.
Why are these little children so often fire's <
victims?
One reason is their utter helplessness as ha- j
hies. If trapped, for instance, in a burning !
building, they are powerless to help themselves.
Another reason is their inquisitiveness and
lack of fear of fire.
Since children spend most of their time at
home, parents should teach them simple safety j
rules and, above all. see to it that fire hazards J
do not exist in and around the house.
Every means possible should be used to em- i
phasize the safety measures whereby loss of
life and property can be substantially reduced
Let us in this community assume our share of
this responsibility and help make America safe
from fire, especially during the Christmas sea
son when happiness should be enjoyed rather
than being faced with sorrow.
All of us want to be popular but the price
that one must pay is often exorbitant.
The greatest effort made by many, workers
is to look busy while doing nothing.
The church and politics should not be mixed,
but unfortunately they too often go hand-in
hand. f
It’s all right to think well of yourself, espe
cially if you deserve it, but you needn’t tell
everybody about it.
Strange as it may seem, you are often wrong
and the other fellow often right.

Peter Carlton, former secretary of the Eden
i ton Chamber of Commerce, who is now living
in Henderson wrote a brief letter the other day.
“Lois (his wife) and 1 are thrilled over Eden
i ton winning the football championship,” he
j wrote, "mostly because the little kids as we
; know them have now become big men.” Then
regarding the change in The Herald Peter con- j
j tinued: “It is a sign of old age, no doubt, when i
one wants to cling to the past. There was a |
I certain class and difference in the 6-column j
j Chowan Herald which set it apart from the
i mass of papers. However, ‘the opinions cx
! pressed are not necessarily those of the editor
l and publishers of The Chowan Herald.’ In ex- !
pression of continued interest and friendship j
letters have been written to you and The Her- j
aid. That you never answer and acknowledge ■
( does not destroy the Christian fellowship, nor '
1 continued friendly interest.” Well, a? for an
swering letters. I believe I’m just about the
world’s worst lately.

• It was nothing -hort on the part of Ernest
Kehayes when he had the Edenton State Class
i A football champions as his guests at a fried:
j chicken dinner Thursday night. He even,
i pranced around the room asking the hoys if j
i they wanted any more chicken i something tm-!
• usual at a banquet i. Anyway Jimmv Harri
! son noticed a lot of cream puffs and pie on
the table at the rear of tire room, and replied.
"No, thank you. I'm saving a little space for
that dessert.” • Then the Rev. James MacKen
zie asked if he could come hack later in the
evening and eat more. “You surely can." said
| Ernest, ‘ hut you'll have to pay for it then."
Anyway, it'- hard to say if the champ- enjoyed
the dinner any more than Mr. and Mrs. Ke
haves enjoyed having ’em as their guests.

I Here's one who had a hot -eat the other day. ,
\ While speaking to Band Director Ernest Gen- j
i tile in the office. I poked my pipe in my hip
pocket and -at down to do some writing. I felt
i something warm, which wasn't unusual for me.
j but at that particular spot'it was getting hot
ter and hotter. Then Mr. Gentile said. ‘ Watch
. out, you’re burning " He was right, for a hole
was burned in my hip pocket and underwear.
(as well as part of my handkerchief. I couldn't j
twist my neck enough to see if tny hide was
singed, hut it felt as though it was.

I have on my desk a group of letters to San

A little while hack 1 received a letter from
Mr: and Mrs. Fred W. Storm which is good j
publicity for Edenton. Said the couple from j
Cambria Heights. Long Island: • j.j
“An accident happenedan your town the latter part ij
: of August that we think should be brought to light.
I “Unfortunately we were involved in an accident on \
i Highway 32. in Edenton. Being 100 some odd miles ;
I from home. Car disabled and my wife with a badly
injured foot, needless to say things looked very black
for us. I.ike a bolt out of the blue, one of your resi
dents. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter Hogcard appeared took ;
my wife to the hospital and secured lodging for us j
at the Triangle Motor Court, where we were treat
ed most graciously. While there we were visited
daily by the Hoggnrds.
“We feel we have made life long friends With Mr. 1
and Mrs. Haggard and our simple thanks is not suf
ficient. Your town of Edenton should be very proud.j
of such good people—it surely was ‘Southern Hos- j
pitality’ and. a public ‘Thank You’ is certainly due j
them.”

With some of our local sportsmen going ]
hunting and every time coming home empty- j
handed, maybe they ought to try their luck at j
some of the group of turkeys shoots already
scheduled. But what in the dickens can a fish

a bite is its scarce as hen’s teeth?

Somebody is due some congratulations for
Edenton’s street decorations for Christmas. It’s
very attractive, especially the bell ringing ef
fect in the middle of the principal business sec
tion on Broad Street. Rut what has become of
the custom, of awarding prizes for the best in
dividual decoration?
