May our young peonle Clearly hear Thy call and respond with full surrender to Thee. Join March of Dimes Once again citizens of Chowan County as Well as the entire nation arc being called upon to make a contribution to the March of Dimes in the fight against infantile paralysis. Sixteen years ago the late President Franklin Roosevelt inaugurated the March of Dimes movement and for 15 years now funds have been used In treating polio, victims, edu cation and research until now- there is reason to be lieve that victory in wiping out the disease is in sight. For that reason efforts should be redoubled so that the fight is not retarded due to lack of money. Chowan County has been extremely fortunate, for very few cases of the disease have developed within its borders. During the year, however, a little white girl contracted the disease and was confined to the Maryview Hospital in Portsmouth 42 days, the cost of which amounted to over *SOO. plus a brace costing $28.50. This particular family was unable to pay the bill, but treatment was administered and paid from the Chowan Chapter funds. Had this money not been in the local treasury an appeal would have, of course, had to be made for state or national as- j sistance. This has been the larges* amount, ever paid by the I Chowan Chapter hut. of course, portions of chapter | funds have oh several occasions been sent to state headquarters to he used in communities where there was an epidemic of the disease and funds lacking to pay the bills. . The National Foundation for Infantile Fbralysis - can state with confidence that no polio patient shall go without care for lack of funds and, moreover, that this aid will continue until the patient has made a j maximum recovery. March of Dimes' funds are shared by the local chapter treasury to provide patient aid and by nut ional headquarters to support a vast program of po- -j lio prevention, scientific research, professional edu cation and epidemic aid services, including financial \ assistance to chapters that have exhausted their j share of March of Dimes funds. The March of Dimes campaign in Chowan County j is sponsored by the William H. Coffiehi Post. No. 9280. Veterans of Foreign Wai-s, with the command- , er. Bill Perry, chairman. Mr. Perry is now perfect ing his organization arid Within a few days will , swing into action in an effort to raise at least $3,900. j laist year’s contributions amounted to $2,576.84. Mr. Perry and his workers emphasize the great, need of funds this year and urge every citizen to give some serious thought about, making a contribu tion and to be ready when solicited. With a reasonable amount of cooperation and generosity Chowan County can raise $3,000 and do it before the end of January when the drive officially j terminates.

By “Buff” L. : Barlow Harrell #amc pretty near having a long j day Saturday, New Year’s Day. Religiously, Barlow J gets up every morning when the Halsey Hardwood ; Company and veneer mill whistles blow at 6 o’clock. I Well at midnight Friday the whistles blew to usher in 1955 and. hearing the whistles. Barlow thought it i was 6 o’clock. He'crawled out of bed. dressed and went about his usual schedule. But when he went out doors he. sensed a feeling that something was wrong, and it was then that he realized 1955 had just arrived. He Went hack in the house and got j another little snooze before starting out lor the day. In order to have :t sip of wine on hand for Christ- j mas visitors, a certain follow brought home a gallon . of choice Pea Ridge grape wine. None of his fami- j !y drinks the stuff and it so happened that no visit- ! ors called during the holidays who drunk wine. At j any rate a few days after Christmas the fellow was I going to give the wine to a friend, but when he saw • the bottle it Was empty. He didn’t have the nerve I to ask the colored cook if the wine was good. o Here's one who is about convinced that so far ns fishing is concerned, about the most fun ahead is to recall the days when it was not unusual to go fish ing and bring home a stringer full. 1 went. Satur day and dragged over enough territory to catch a tub full, but the Missus and I each caught an Kng lishman. A few more trips like that and I'll sell ; some fishing equipment at a bargain. A follow can ; get almost as many bites fishing in a bath tub. ; 0-7- • Horace White is trying to take off some of his j weight, but he just can't agree with his doctor. Os ; course, he is supposed to refrain from eating cor- | tain kinds of food and that’s where the disagreement ! comes. On his list of foods to be eaten do not ap- j pear ham and biscuits, so Horace says "it's no use. for a doctor td tell me ham and biscuits are not the i right kind of food.” j Monday was not such a happy day for a lot of youngsters, fop they had to trek hack to school after j a long holiday for Christmas. Jimmy White was among those who was sort of hard to get. up to get ready for school. His mother called him three times \ and on the third call he said. “Wait a minute, mama. I want to see wlvat happens in mv dream.” !
