PAGE TWO [ AROUND THE FARMS IN CHOWAN W.' OVERMAN, Chowan County Agent j I' The last four weeks have been I FAIR. Last week was the N. C. gState Fafr Week. The week be- Bfore was Chowan County Fair. KThe two weeks before that were ft preparations for the fairs. I in- S tended to take a vacation last I week and attend the National ■County Agents’ meeting in Bos ff ton but ended up by “Fairing”. I thought we had a very com . mendable exhibit at the N. C. P State Fair. There were five ibooths on the Challenge Program <Rfrom as many different sections |of the State. Surry County’s ex ■hibit placed first with a prize of '-S6OO. Nash County took second jjplace with SSOO. Chowan County »took third place receiving $450. Macon County placed fourth re-: gceiving $450, and another county .placed fifth receiving $450. I The Chowan exhibit depicted “More Dignity and Contentment Sin Country Living.” This was ex § emplified by a wedding scene at I Rocky Hock Baptist Church. The newly married couple were stand ■ing in front of the church with f their friends “Looking To The < Future.” The future was repre- j ; sented by a modern farm and i home scene placed on the other ; end of the exhibit. Along the I highway between “the beginning” ; and “the goal” we showed model buildings with scenes represent y ing spiritual, social, health and M other values which contribute to ‘ making more diginity and con ‘ tentment iu country living. The backdrop was a scene of the Ber t tie side showing the highway dis appearing behind the river. Our 7 completed exhibit fitted the men tal picture we had developed to r exemplify the idea. Agriculture workers contribut ing to this- were: James Griffin, : George Conner, E. S. White, Mrs. i Lorraine Rogerson, Miss Ann | Lassiter, Miss Maidred Morris, | Mrs. Jacqueline Lewis, R. S. | Marsh, C. W. Overman, f Phillip Morris, a senior at Cho ! wan High School, did an excellent i job painting the backdrop scene. The Chowan County Fair the ['previous week was excellent in my opinion. Our horticultural | and field crops were smaller than [ usual but much more extensive s than anticipated when we consid er the drought that struck us last • summer. Certainly a goodly • group of Exhibitors contributed t toward paaking the County Fair I a greater success. I would like | to compliment every exhibitor ■ who contributed in this event. Now that the fairs are over, ■ we are settling back in the groove ;of routine work. A corn variety ( test demonstration has been har ! vested. A milo variety test dem onstration has been harvested. j Several peanut demonstrations are in the process of being harvested. Results of cotton insect control are being checked on. Records! on 4-H projects are being obtain ! ed. From time to time as these | things are completed we will give ■ : you results. 1 Dr. George S. Bradshaw, fed-1 eral veterinarian, is working in 1 Chowan County testing cattle for' Bangs Disease and' a spotted check for T.B. We do not have a complete list of cattle owners so if you find that we have work-: ed in your community and have I not tested your cow, please be sure to call or write my office soj that we can test your cow for you. ! We hope to get this work com pleted in the next two to three weeks.

Halloween Party Thursday, Oct. 31 Continued from Page I—Section 1 thused over the approaching party and has rendered invalu able service over the years to the event. It was Campen’s Halloween party for his young daughter, a decade or more ago, | that started the ball rolling. That ! affair was started in his back [yard and proved so popular with those attending and the many who watched over the fence that the idea for staging a community Halloween carnival originated. The first party, held in 1947. was an overwhelming success and [was the talk of the area. Each succeeding year has proved no [less successful and the affair has 'grown by leaps and bounds an nually. At each party Campen, who is Edenton’s “Mr. Fixit,” 'has been an important part in its preparation. Mrs. Bruce Jones, Jr., and Mrs. Richard Hardin are co-chairmen of the party and they have en listed the support of scores of j workers for the affair. Import , ant among these are the mer | chants, business and professional [leaders, other civic organizations and interested individuals who i are once again giving whole hearted support to the Hal loween carnival. Appointed from among the club register to direct various committee activities are mes | dames Frank Holmes, Kermit jLayton, J. M. Thorud, Federal [Taylor, C. A. Phillips, Wesley Chesson, Ed Bond, W. J. P. Earnhardt, Scott Harrell, W. D. Holmes, Jr., George A. Byrum, [Earl Goodwin and A. F. Dow ’ num. They are charged with the [responsibility of supervising the various refreshment booths, the tickets, prizes and such. For re freshments there will be hot dogs, peanuts, pop corn, candy and gum, apples and soft drinks. And it’s all free to the children attending. Party officials state j there will be “plenty of refresh ments and prizes.” i Special prizes will be awarded for costumes and floats. There will be five prizes for costumes — one for the most original and one each for boys and girls for the most comical and for the best costumes. Two prizes will be given for floats one for sta tionary floats and one for mov ing floats. A special invitation has been [extended to Marine personnel at the base to bring their children to the party. And Marines from ■ NAAS, Edenton, will operate the; lhayride once again. 1 Club officials are grateful for jthe work of N. J. George and a group of students at Edenton’s Junior-Senior High School for rebuilding the stands at the play ground. Principal Gerald James jhas also offered the assistance of I a number of high school stu dents in setting up the party. A gala parade will start tyre evening of fun for the party goers. The parade, to be led by the high school band, will form at the Court House Green at 6 o’clock Halloween night. It will get under way at 6:30 and is scheduled to arrive at the play ground area at 7 o’clock. J. D.

Marines Revive Traditional Military Ceremony il! jyt|, IS| f SMI Pictured above are some of the officers of Marine Aircraft Group 14, including Col. A. R. Stacy, commanding officer. As the picture was taken the officers were toasting the Commandant of the Marine Corps, just one of the highlights in a ceremony which dales back to the early days of western military history. Uniform for the mess night, as it has come to -be called, is evening wear or mess dress, dress whites or blues. The program proceedings start with cock tails 30 minutes before dinner is served. Then upon the playing 'The Roast Beef of Old England," the officers take their places at the table. After the meal and the toasts, coffee is served and the commanding officer and guests usually make short speeches. The speeches over, the officers adjourn to the lounge and ante-room for singing and conversation. The purpose of the event is to foster a close relationship between the officers of the unit and is just one of the many great traditions which exemplify the outstanding "esprit" found throughout the yniled States Marine Corps.—(Official U.

National Itiblr -'' Week Oct. 21-27 From his vacation headquarters in Newport, Rhode Island, Presi- 1 dent Eisenhower wired Charles R. Hook, National Chairman for the 17th annual National Bible Week observance, a warm message in which he endorsed the all faith# event. Sponsored by the Lay-1 men’s National Committee, Inc.,! this year’s Bible Week is October 21 through 27. The President’s message is as follows: “National Bible Week focuses attention on the best known book in the world. From its inspired pages people in all lands have gained strength and direction in ages past. From its eternal truth our children’s chil- [ dren will continue to gain help j and comfort for years to come. “Congratulations to the mem-! hers of the Laymen’s National Committee for their sponsorship of this annual observance. “Realizing the world and its: people are more and more in-! creasing their sum total knowl edge at an amazing pace, the need to keep our spiritual knowledge apace with that of our material advancement becomes necessary. Without a spiritual guide—such as a daily reading and study of one’s Bible—mankind might easily at omize itself into oblivion. That is why we observe a National Bi ble Week.” Suggestions To Fight Asian Flu In an exchange the following was clipped having to do with what to do if flu strikes: The flu is a mild disease resem bling the grippe. There is a high tion for good citizenship—the most important institution in ex istence. It is here that the child learns his first lessons. Citizen ship should be taught at the mo ther’s knee. It is here that par ents can set examples that will j help the children build high standards of integrity, morality, and of consideration for others. The general purpose of the pub lic school is to help all children and young people to grow up as healthy, happy, and useful citi zens. ' It is here that the child is trained for living, for doing his . share of the world’s work, for solving public problems by intel ligent thinking and action, and . for the kind of good citizenship that is based on strength and , j character. We should not educate I the children without educating . the parents. The church is most important because of its task in the spirit ■ ual development of the communi ty. In a prosperous community, i there usually is a prosperous • church. Every family has a re > sponsibility towards making the' church the center of spiritual life in the community. Let us ask . ourselves—“ How pood a church II would my church be if all of the ’j members are members like me?” Citizenship starts in the home ,| as soon as you are born. The man. woman, boy or girl who has | no interest, no love for the com ■ munity in which he or she lives !j is in a pitiable condition. It is the responsibility of every indi vidual and every family to make the community a better place in . which to live.
