A Distinct Loss Edenton and Chowan County have lost a splendid and valuable citizen in the death of William Henry Gardner Sunday night. He was one who more or less frowned upon per sonal publicity despite his many deeds of kind ness and unselfish devotion along many ave nues of community service. Quiet and unas suming, he wen and maintained many friends wherever he came in contact with people, so that his passing will be mourned not only by his immediate family but by friends and ac quaintances throughout Chcwan County and North Carolina as a whole. Henry Gardner was a prince of a man, kind and accommodating, and for 42 years was as sociated with the Bank of Edenton, working his way up to its president. For 30 years he was treasurer of the Town of Edenton and for 17 years served as treasurer of the Chowan County Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. He also served as treasurer for many community activities and in all his offices of trust he carried out his duties faithfully and to the complete satisfac tion of everybody concerned. Edenton and Chowan County can ill afford to lose a citizen of the calibre of Henry Gard ner and The Herald, therefore, joins a host of friends in extending its sympathy to the be reaved family. A Community Asset There can be little argument that the Eden ton Junior-Senior High School Band is not a distinct asset to the community, so that Miss Lula Williams, its director, should have the wholehearted support of the town as a whole. Band Booster Day is scheduled to be ob served in Edenton next Saturday, November 3, when a concerted drive will be made to raise money for the band. Funds are now needed to purchase instruments for a concert, band, - which to be sure will benefit the entire com ». munity. can be mpre pleasing and ele : vatirtg “than to listen to a band concert pro gram especially when many other community activities are more or less at a standstill during the disagreeable winter months? The band can be called upon and takes con siderable pride in cooperating in any civic af fair, many of which fall flat without the pres ence of a band. The progress of the band has been very encouraging and with sufficient funds raised it will become even more of an asset to the community. Business concerns and individuals will be so licited Saturday for contributions and friends of the band are hopeful that every concern and individual will be a band booster and that the response to this appeal will be very generous. The Herald hopes the drive for funds will prove very successful and that ere long Eden- X ton can boast having a concert band. No town ever grows without unselfish service and genuine leadership based upon somebody’s desire to be of service to others. Health is something that is appreciated by those who need.it most. Human nature changes slowly. About all that you can do in the effort is to improve yourself. You can go to the ends of the earth without * finding better people than those who live in Chowan County, so why bother? h Church-going people have no monopoly on the religion of the world but, even if mistaken, they seek to promote spiritual development by organization and cooperation. , - The happiest life is to be found around a] contented fireside, Where some family lives at ] peace r9 *fth itself, its fellowmen and God. JJ-eard. Os Seen I II _J We’ve probably gone through the “rainy sea son” and it was a welcome sight Wednesday morning to see the sun shining again after sun shine has been so mighty scarce for two or three weeks. I felt like taking a picture of the sun. The rainy weather has caused farmers, espe cially those who grow peanuts, to sing the “Blues,” and rightly so for the rains came at the most inopportune time, when some peanuts were ready to be dug and the major portion stacked, so that a great deal of damage is an ticipated. The present farmers, this year re-' sembled a poker game with the farmers hold ing a “full house,” but the weather man holding four of a kind—damp, cloudy, rainy and dis agreeable days. o And speaking about the long spell of rain, mothers who have to wash for their youngsters join the farmers in complaining, because it has been impossible for clothes to dry. I thought I had a good suggestion at my house, but it wasn’t very enthusiastically received. My sug gestion was to hang the dirty clothes on the line, for with so much rain they ought to be washed pretty clean in a day or two. o In one of the grocery stores Saturday a lady asked the clerk if the grapefruit were sweet. ‘They’re getting sweeter each week,” the clerk told her. Taking another glance at the grape fruit, the lady replied, “Well, I’ll wait until next week so that they’ll be good and sweet.” o Jimmy White was talking about playing football the other day and told his mother he was playing on the eighth grade team. His mother said. “I thought you were playing on the Jayvee team.” The boy said he was but that the Jayvees boys were bigger than he was. “Well, you’re not afraid of them, are you?” his mother asked. “No,” said Jimmy, “but I just don’t want to get tangled up with them.” o Rotarians will have to be more carefully seat ed hereafter when looking at slides or moving pictures at their meetings in the Parish House. Last week Bill Moore showed some color slides and Izzy 'Campen said he saw the sun rising in one of the pictures. “You’re wrong, Izzy,” an other Rotarian said, “that’s just a reflection from Jim Wood’s head.” Maybe some of the Rotarians will be required to wear wigs when pictures are shown. o Robert White pulled at stunt in Friday night’s football game with Ahoskie. He was quarter backing the second team and called for a jump pass. Well, he jumped, threw the ball and caught his own pass. It so happened that the ball hit a player and bounced right back in his arms. The only thing he should have done to tell Ripley about it was to run for a touchdown after he caught his own pass. o And speaking about the football game, it was - almost a pase of sink or swim AhoSkie field. The boys on both teams were wet and muddy from head to foot and by the time the game ended they all looked as though they were pulled from a sewer pipe. o It will be homecoming night at Hicks Field Friday night—not from the high school’s stand point, but it will be the first time in five weeks that Bus Wozelka, Izzy Campen, Bill Cozart, the boys from radio station WCDJ and yours truly have had an opportunity to jam into the press box at Hicks 'Field. It’s been rather poor accommodations for the press and radio boys at some of the games away from home, so that seme sort of a celebration is in order. Maybe somebody will bring coffee. ‘ ' o - Here’s one who was in a predicament Tues day night due to two free meals being on tap at the same time, one by the Degree of Poca hontas and the other at the Advance Comjnuni ty Building, where the Chowan Home Demon stration Clubs staged their achievement and husbands’ banquet. I settled by attending the home demonstration dubs’ affair and the Miss us ate with the Pocahontas. At the Advance Community Building it looked as though they had a “little” rain lately, for, if nobody got stuck getting in or out they were lucky. Any way, the muddy outside had no effect whatever on the splendid meal the ladies served and the friendly atmosphere which prevailed during the evening. It was a very delightful party throughout unless Willie Saunders is unable to bo about. WBKe’s wife was called to come to the front to receive a certificate for perfect at tendance, but Willie piped out, “She can’t get out, she’s too big.” There might have been an accounting when he got home. 0 Jim Daniels, after a stay in Chowan Hospi- I tal 4s How at home and was cheered considera bly Tuesday night.

Anyway, here’s hoping he’ll soon be able to be up and I around again. o Just to remind you that next Tuesday., November 6, is eleo tion day. Don’t forget to take out enough time to go to the polls and exercise the pfrjvilege , for which you would fight for if it were taken away frdm you.

Vernoni Parker, 4-H Club mem ber of Gates County was master of ceremonies. Mayor E. P. Kehayes of Edenton, welcomed the group and C. W. Overman, Chowan Coun ty Agent, took the group on a tour of a part of the historical spots of Edenton. E. W. Spires, Clerk of Superior Court, gave a brief talk about the history of the Court House and other places in Edenton prior to the group taking the tour. Entertainment was given by Molly and Marion Welch of Curri tuck County and the Keel sisters of Perquimans County. John E. Piland, Eastern District County Agent of the N. C. Extension Ser vice, recognized the guests and Miss Florence Cox, District Exten sion Home Agent, introduced the speaker of the day, Carroll Holmes of Perquimans County. Mr. Holmes congratulated the 4-H Club members on their many achievements and praised them for practicing their motto “To Make The Best Better”. “Os all the pro fessions or occupations of man since earliest recorded history, none has heen so vital or necessary as farming,” said Mr. Holmes. The effort and time devoted by these winners to their projects is shown by the fact that only coun ty winners submitting long-time records of 4-H achievement were eligible to compete for district and state honors. Individual crops win ners for 1955 were also invited to attend, along with one man and woman adult 4-H leader who had contributed to the success of the county 4-H program during the past year. \ In announcing the district win ners, M. L. B. Dixon, Assistant! State 4-H Leader, said, “Although 1 each 4-H member present here to-, day may not receive a certificate! as being a wipner, he is still ope,; because there are no losers among. The purpose of the 4-H Recogni-. tion Day is to recognize and honor all active 4-H Club members who have made outstanding progress in, their club work during the pasC year. There are 16 counties in Hie! Eastern District, and Chowan County is proud to honor its win-i ners. There are six districts in North Carolina, and each district held its Recognition Day on Octo-, her 27. This is the second time, that Edenton has been chosen as the site for the Eastern District Recognition Day. Although the Recognition Day exercises were brief, the club mem bers who attended were very en thusiastic. Those dub members present were the ones who have stuck with the 4-H Club through thick and thin, through adversity and sushess, thriugh defeat and vic tory. It was those members who have been loyal, faithful, true, de pendable, courageous, kind and truthful, and not the opportunists, the fly-by-night type, or Hie grac ing individuals, who were invited to the Recognition Day. Many long hard tiresome hours were spent by the dub members who represented their counties at the District Recognition Day. And a look at the bright -faces of those cheerful club members showed that the award was worth the effort. “It is this kind of person who we can trust and depend upon to tat i , our government tomorrow,” says Assistant County Agent Robert Marsh, “and it was an honor for Edenton to be chosen to honor these worthwhile dub mendM*?’ There are different kinds satf love. As an instinct, it is desirable and important. As g modification of true benevolence, it i» command able. But as an idolatrous affec tion, it is censurable. Awards Presented Local Cub Scouts ‘Pilgrim Harvest* Will Be Theme During November Cub -Scout Pack 159 met at the Junior-Senior High Sshool cafe teria Tuesday night for the regular monthly Pack meeting. The Cubs presented puppet shows in connec tion with the October theme and received recognition for recent achievements. * It was announced that the Cubs will march with the high school band Friday evening before the football game at Hicks Memorial Field, when Edenton meets Ply mouth. The Cubs will attend the game as guests. “Pilgrim Harvest” is the theme for November for the local Cub Pack. The Dens will meet weekly during November in preparation for the November 27 Pack meeting.

BYRUM Home Demonstration Agent Chowan Home Demonstration 1 Club members received a $250 pre mium for their booth at the State Fair. The booth, “Is Your Money A Family Affair?” stressed 1 the importance of a sound family mon ey management program. ' The booth was planned by Mrs. Bristoe Perry, Mrs. H. T. Hollowell, Mrs. B. P. Monds, Mrs. A. D. Ward, Jr., Mrs. H. M Phthisic, Mrs. I. E. Halsey and Mrs Henry 'Bunch, county planning committee, with the assistance of Miss Mamie Whisnant, State Home Management Specialist.

Club members were responsible for the care of the booth during the fair. It was entered in the fair -by H. T. Hollowell, Mrs. B. P. Monds, Mrs. Roland Evans, Mrs. Helen Mohan and Bob Marsh. I would like to thank everyone who worked with the booth in any way for their interest and support. I feel that the booth was a credit to Home Demonstration club work and to the county as a whole.
