THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1955 DA\’" ■k The heavens declare the glory of God: and the firmament sheweth his handywork. —Ps. 19:1. OUR GOD is in this world which reveals his cre ative majesty, power and love. Truly “the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. ” We thank Thee, O God, for the beauty of the uni verse and humble ourselves in Thy holy presence. May we strive to make the earth even more beauti ful for Thine honor and glory. Be “A Man In A Blue Suit” There is a legend about the old Marshalesea pris on for debtors in London. England, that has a mod ern application. It is said that once each year for many years a man appeared at the prison to pay off the* debts of 30 prisoners and release them from their chains. The benefactor was known only as “the man in the blue suit”. Here in Chowan County we nave many men and women of generous spirit who play the role of the men in the blue suit” at least once each year. For each year during the Easter Seal campaign of the Chowan County Society for Crippled Children and Adults they make their contributions to help relea.se some child from the chains of crippling. Each year, they give some child, the opportunity to walk, to talk, to feed himself, to ko to school. David Holley is one of the children receiving this care now from the Chowan County Chapter. In Cho wan County there are many more youngsters who need this same opportunity. Join the ranks of “the man in the.blue suit”. Send your contributions to Easter Seals to Jesse L. Har rell. Chowan Lagging And speaking about drives. Dr. A. F. Downum. Chairman of the Chowan County Red Cross Chapter, reports that the Red Cross drive in the county is bad- > I.y lagging. Up. to. Tuesday'. W. A. Hollowell. treas urer, reported only $845. in hand while the county’s i quota is $2,910, While the report is not. complete, the co-chairmen of tile drive, Gerald James and Frank Holmes,, esti mate that at best only the half waY mark has been reached. Os course, they urge the various coiivass ers to make their reports as soon as possible and in the meantime also make. an. urgent appeal to every body in Chowan County to give liberally so that it will not- be necessary to conduct a second drive as was the case last year. Support, of the Red Cross is a worthy cause and while other drives are meeting and even surpassing their quotas, it is hard to understand why the Red Cross drive should lag. Welcome, Newcomers The Herald this week welcomes a new concern in Edenton. C. N. Ricks of Ahoskie, who has opened a jewelry store next to The Herald office. Paul A. Otts will serve as manager of the new store, who, together with bis family, live just across Albemarle Sound in Washington County. Both Mr. and Mrs. Otts are active in civic and ; fraternal circles, so. that they will, of course, be an asset to Edenton. The Herald, welcomes the new concern and Wbpes | their stay in Edenton will be both pleasant and profitable. Those who always make positive statements make a lot of mistakes. Great men and women seldom toot their horns, and often go unrecognized as a result, until they are only memories. j«K|g; SEE THE 40 OF YOUR CHOICE V /V?

PAGE FOUR Heard & Seen By “Buff” An error was made in last week’s personal items where it was stated Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Dail visit ed in Woodland Sunday, As a matter of fact they were on their way to Woodland but unfortunately had an accident. Mrs. Dail sustained a broken arm and a number of bruises, while Mr. Dail was scratch ed and bruised. Though the accident was unfortu nate, Mr. Dail was rather optimistic for, in the first place, his wife’s right arm was broken, and she is left handed. In the second place they could have been more seriously injured and probably killed, for they were trapped in their wrecked car and had to wait to-be extricated until some colored men happen ed to come upon the scene. For soma months now the trash pile has been treated regularly in an effort to reduce the rat popu lation and I’m informed that it has done a great deal of good. However. West Byrum was telling me the other day that some of the ditches around town are now full of rat holes and that it was his opinion the town should put cm an all-out campaign to get fid of rats. Lloyd Bunch was explaining how some rat poisoh is distributed, saying it is put in pipes, for rats like to crawl in pipes. However, Marvin Wilson, figuring on the size of rats in his neighbor hood, wanted to know what size pipe he should use. o Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Lee have been living at En gelhard for some time how and they spent the week end in Edenton visiting relatives and friends, Mrs. Lee is making considerable progress, for when I asked her how. she. is getting along she said “Just foine.” And then their daughter came home from school the other day and told her mother the children in her room say "feme” instead of five. >■ ■■ . by-■ <-> - ■ , :■■ If any more law violators want to plunge over board at the foot of Broad Street, it will be a little harder now. The police and Street Department em ployees oh Tuesday erected a barricade at the wa ter's edge and painted It with black and white I stripes. Anyway if any more drive overboard they'd likely not land so far our in the water. / o School teachers ami a number of guests enjoyed the anna! dinner meeting of the Edenton Unit of the North Carolina-Education Society hold in the Ma j sonic Temple Tuesday night. At the meeting four veteran teachers; Miss Paulina Hassell. Miss Lena I Jones, Miss Myrtle Jenkins and Miss Ruby Felts. J were awarded diamond pins in recognition of their i service in teaching in Edenton 25 years or longer. It was more or less a .solemn affair until Miss Jenkins 1 on the way back to her seat remarked, “Well, the j first 2-5 years are the hardest.” ————-o- —- | Who in the dickens .can keep track of the weather these, days? W. hud real summer weather and j over the .week-end. it was fittiri to wear red flannels, i Anyway Jack Frost played havoc with a lot of flow, ! ers ,an<l tender leaves on trees and bushes, even after ! quite a few flowers were transplanted only a few j days before and some ladies were not yet done with using liniment. (One.of ’em was at my home, hut I didn’t have to buy crutches). i, ... ..* - -rt ——O i Old Chowan County Court House no doubt has ! hung up a “first.”, All kinds of affairs have been j ..held,in the old building, but the other night a stork shower was held for one of, the members of the BI'W Club. Parties, dances, and all kinds of meet j ings .have'been held in the building, but it’s the first stork shower I've ever heard of. Anyway, I’ll be looking for a cigar. Again I'm about convinced that it’s needless to go I a long way from Edenton to fish. On Saturday I went far up Perquimans River over at Hertford to j fish and caught one small speckled perch and an Englishman; Spending far less time and effort, a ' youngster living near the Herald office caught three i speckled perch weighing in the neighborhood of a pound each almost within a stone's throw from Broad Street. And speaking about fishing, at the Masonic meeting Thursday night Ernest Kehayes Was telling about catching a 5-pound bass near his ! home. He didn’t get very far, for one of the boys ! piped out: “Yeah, there you go. just as soon as you get in a Masonic hall you begin telling lies.” But Ernest says he can prove his claim by Henry Gard ner.
