A LIFT FOR TODAY
if ... . When they heard that Jesus was coming to
Jerusalem, the people took branches ot palm trees,
and went forth to meet him. and cried, Hosanna;
Blessed is the King of Israel that coipeth in the name
of the Lord. -.John 12:12, 13.
IT IS EASY to sing praises t" God. Init it is not
so easy to do his will; it is easy to go with the crowd,
but difficult, to go against it.
Help IIS. O God, to ho loyal to Thee and our fellow
man, and practice eyerv day «Ivat Thou hast taught
us in Thv Holy Word.
All Must Help
Reports have it that the.rat situation in. Edenton
is getting nut of control and that, despite individual
efforts, mounting damage: is being done by these
Cussed pests. Not only are the rats overrunning
various establishinents. hut they now, in grea.t num
bers, infest open ditches and fields.
A counfy-wide :nit control campaign is scheduled
to lie held during tile last, week of April under the
direction of the county agents, arid Kdepton people
are urged to join in the fight, buy the poison prepar
ed and put. it.out in order to help reduce the rat
population.
The success of the campaign, of course, depends
upon the number who participate, for any one per
son can: place poison on their: premises and probably
kill a few rats, but unless the same thing .is done bv
neighbors, it only means that other rats will move,
in from adjoining places.
Town Council men at their meeting Tuesday night
agreed to cooperate in that an effort will he made to
kill rats in open ditches and other outdoor breeding
places, and issuing an appeal to all residents to pur
chase the required amount of poison bait and: place
it where the rats will most likely eat .it.
Rats are a general nuisance and a health menace,
and while it is hard-to get rid of them altogether,
by cooperating many can be disposed of, so. it is
hoped many I'dehtoif people will join, in the cam
paign against rats.
The poison will cost SLOO and "ill hot affect do
.mestic animals, and if placed out according.to dir<’i'.-
tions is said to be every:' effective in killing rats. It is
worth trying, for. rats not- only destroy property 'out
carry disease as well.

[Heard & Seen
By “Buff”
~
JimmyOglesby on April 2nd became the grand
pappy of twins and its a result lie “paid up in full’
by handing out a cigar for the grandson and one
for the granddaughter. His daughter, Mrs. Arthur
[rvin Holleb, (the former Miss Carolyn Oglesby)
gave birth to twins in New York City and was able
to leave the hospital on Sunday. The daddy of the
twins, Dr. Arthur Irvin Holleb, must have put out
a lot of smiles after it was all over, hut I’ll bet the
two stogies Jimmy passed (Alt (1 can bet only one,
for I’ve smoked one) that the doctor was not much
happier than Jimmy was to hear the news, for
he’s a grandpappy sure ’nuff now.
Well, if anybody had any new Easter togs to show
(iff oh Sunday, they could hot have wished for a
more perfect day to do it. In fact the weather was
made to order, so. that, maybe somebody has a pull
with the weather man.. As was expected, quite a few
people made their annua! visit to the church of their
choice and, no doubt, dropped in tile Collection plate a
thin dit>le. also an annual contribution to the church.
How many people' would like to live in Edenton if
every ehtiTch .closed its..diiors ? And how long could
any church continue to exist it it had to depend upon
the atH'tidailee and i-ciitrihntlons of some of the peo
pl(u liviim hViv ? These (juustioMs ure not so \ery
hard to answer.
If what I hear Is collect, I’ve learned a new meth
od, to borfoVvc Money at the Rank of Edenton. As I
get it. Kfnest Kijiayes asked Henry Gardner for a
loan in order to buy a boat. "UH have to think over
it," was Henry’s reply. But a few days later Henry
accompanied Ernest iil the latter’s boat on a fish
ing trip up the i reek. Henry was standing up when
Ernest, started the mot.br and as the boat jerked for
ward. Henry fell overboard. While Henry was
scrambling tit the water Ernest veiled. “Now will
you loan me the money to, buy a new boat?” I'm
told Henry yelled back. ’•Hell. yes. get me out of
here arid I’ll loan you all the money you want..”
■ ' ;. .. ) -'-r- '
Recently, the Tire siren- on the water tank was
pjaccd on top of the, armory and the smaller one
which .was oh the armory was stuck up in front of
my home. I’m a poor tiremaiV. for I haven t heard
the' thing shriek yets However, I ve .almost, starved
to• death:a few times, for,now I can’t hear the siren
when it sounds for tj .o’clock and as a result have
been working o', rtinie-—-and 1 don’t get paid extra
for it. Anyway, the change...was made: so that more
of the volunteer firemen, most of whom live north
of i’hureh Street, will hear the alarm, arid they’re
the boys who should hear it.
With the -basehall .. season.’ opening this week in
. the major hCgties;. i : t should, not be long until the
baseball bug hcins to crawl in Edenton. I under
stand coriSid progress is being made on the
diamond at Oho Wan H igh School and the diamond
on Hicks Field is in good shape. All we need now is
..baseball teams'-to use, the parks. Here’s one who
rem<>iti.hi rs when Edenton had crackerjack teams and
a- so fry ha! i park, but now we have a splendid ball
park,, hut not much prospect: of a good baseball team.
Speaking..about, the weather, man, lie threw a mon
key wrench, ib the proposed annual flower siimv spon
sored by the Edentoti Woman's Club, The show has
been cancelled because Jack, Frost killed and damag
ed.: many "f the flowers and Edenton and surround

However, Edenton. wasn’t: the: only victim, for last
week On a trip to Forest, City i noticed: many flow

is reported almost a total loss arid already I've heard
about runs be: g made tin’canned peaches in antici

there’s always -something to worry about.

Thanks A Million
Dear Friends and Voters;
As another City Flection nears arid I am not a candi
date for re-election to your ( ity (lovernment. may l take
this opportunity of thanking you for the privilege of serv
ing you for the past eight year.s.
The experience to me has been something more than
money can huv. Working with my fellow Board members
and fine Clerk has made serving you a pleasure, as 1 think
they have been as fair and conscientious to me and our
town as possible.
As for our Fourth Ward, I think we are fortunate in
having a man of Mr. Luther Parks character in wanting
to serve in our City Government, and I feel.that he will do
his best for our town as a whole.
In closing, may I again say that I shall always treasure
the last eight years of serving as City Councilman of the
Fourth Ward and 1 hope 1 can continue to be of some ser
vice to my fellow citizens.
