[ 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

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. S. Marine Photo).

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.
