THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1957 Tljft'Tor^today^ ... be thou faithful unto death, and I will gige thee a crown of life. —Rev. 2:10. Things of God that are marvelous are to be be lieved on a principle of faith, not to be pried into by reason. For if reason set them open before our eyes, they would no longer be marvelous. —S. Gre gory. O God, let no disloyalty steal from us the herit age of our faith. Should Be Appreciated Two very important events, from the standpoint of children, are announced this week. One is the annual Christmas parade and party sponsored by the Edtnton Business and Profes sional Woman’s Club, and the annual Halloween party which is sponsored by the Edenton Wom an’s Club. Os course, the Christmas party is anxiously looked forward to by the youngsters, many of whom want to see Santa Claus and receive a pres ent. But it also ushers in the Christmas season, a time when friendliness and good cheer are more in evidence than any other time of the year. The Halloween party, too, is an enjoyable event anticipated by youngsters by the hundreds. This event, however, was planned primarily for the pur pose of providing wholesome enjoyment for boys and girls in an effort to eliminate rowdyism and the nuisance of trick or treat tactics. The Halloween party is put on almost entirely through the cooperattion and liberality of business concerns and individuals, some of whom have reg istered complaint for being bothered with the trick or treat callers long after the annual party is over. The complaint is justified, for members of the sponsoring organization work hard and long to make the necessary preparations and arrange ments. Everything at the Halloween party is free, so that there is little reason why youngsters should aggravate and even torment citizens when so much has been done for their evening's enter tainment. The Halloween party has by and large reduced damage which was all too often done by rowdyism before the parties were begun some ten years ago. It is hoped that parents will prevail upon their children to refrain from bothering anybody either before or after the party, which is staged especial ly for their benefit, and that damage to property by pranksters will be a thing of the past. Both the Woman’s Club and BPW Club are to be commended for their efforts in behalf of children of the community by sponsoring these parties for their entertainment and pleasure, and it is to be hoped that the motive for them will be realized.

Hobbs Implement Co., Inc. GUY C. HOBBS, Mgr. “Your John Deere Dealer” EDENTON, N. C. I Y ° Ur F3rrT ' Eq u ' J4earcl Os Seen j In the mail this week was a letter from Mrs. William S. McCaslin, Jr., whose husband was sta tioned at the Edenton Naval Auxiliary Air Sta tion. The McCaslins are now living at Costa Mesa, California, and with a check for a subscription to The Herald Mrs. McCaslin had this, in part, to say: “Please start sending me The Chowan Herald. If you have any old copies of The Herald, please send them to me. We left Edenton the middle of Aug ust, so you can see I have missed quite a few is sues. We miss Edenton very much, but it’s won derful to be back in California again. My husband says that his tour in Edenton was one of the best in his time in service. We made lots of friends there, and some day hope to be back in that sec tion of the country.” . * o George Twiddy likes to go deer hunting, but this sport for him is over for this season. You see he, together with a group of others, went hunting the first day and George shot two deer and says he had a perfect shot at another after he bagged his season’s limit. Anyway, he has been going deer hunting for seven or eight" years and it was the first time he shot a deer. It doesn’t worry him, for he says he’d rather have the vension in the freezer locker than to keep on going hunting in the hope of shooting a deer. o A group of Pocahontas members, realizing that the Red Men allowed their hall to get pretty darn ed dirty, pitched in Tuesday to clean up the place and they had a real job. In fact they didn’t get done during the morning and had to work an af ternoon shift, so that Elsie Lee, Ellla Mae Parrish and Arlene Keeter went to my house for a coffee break and a little snack. One of ’em said “We’re not hungry,” but Ella Mae Parrish chimed in “You speak for yourself—l’m ‘hongary’.” o And speaking about coffee, the Methodists ser ved coffee between the church school and church hour. If that don’t get ’em out it might be a good idea to add ham and eggs to go along with the coffee. o The Parish House was filled with smoke after the Rotarians had finished eating Thursday. No, there was no fire, but Don Dalton passed out cig ars. He was a little late due to missing the previ ous meeting, but he “paid up” for a new 7-pound son. o Jimmy White, one of the “boarders” at my house, was in the bath room one morning this week messing with a razor. “Why, Jimmy," said his mother, “you’re not starting to shave, are you?” However, he continued messing and re plied, “Why, mamma. I’ve been shaving for about a year and I cut myself both times.” * o A week or two ago I had something to say about a football team in Edenton 51 years ago. C. P Wales, after reading the article, brought in a picture of the football team of Central High School of Binghamton, New York, taken in 1896, about 61 years ago. Though Mr. Wales was on the picture, it was hard for me to recognize him, and it is in teresting to note the sort of uniforms and para phernalia they wore back in those days. He played fullback on the football team and was a member of the track team, specializing in the hammer throw. He enjoyed showing the picture, but he can’t get around as fast now as he did then—just like a lot of us. o What might be the last home game the Aces will play this season will take place Friday night when they lock horns with the Ahoskie Indians. Here’s one who hopes they will turn back Ahoskie and Plymouth the following night at Plymouth, and go on toward another state championship. How about going out to see ’em play Friday night? THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 24. 1967. Record Crowd At PTA Meet Tuesday Night That interest in the Edenton Parent-Teacher Association is at a high level is reflected in the fact l that attendance at Tuesday night’s first PTA meeting of the season was one of the largest in attend ance ever experienced in Edenton. The group met in the auditor ium of the Edenton Elementary School and was presided over by the president, Joe Conger, Jr. The meeting opened with prayer by Chaplain Iley of the Edenton Naval Auxiliary Air Station, after which President Conger welcomed those present and expressed his appreciation for the splendid at tendance. Ernest Swain and Ger ald James introduced the teach ers of the Elementary and High Schools respectively and John A. Holmes introduced members of the school trustees. The meeting was termed a “buzz” session with various groups separating to consider the sort of program dssired at forth coming PTA meetings and many suggestions were advanced. The theme of the program was “Look ing to the Future,” which proved to be very interesting and inform ative with many participating in a oi pauuejd uie.i3o.id pasodoid evaluate the needs and desires of the community. At the conclusion of the meet ing refreshments were served.

New Folder On Asian Flu Is Distributed A new authoritative folder on Asian flu, published by the Pub lic Health Service of the U. S. De partment of Health, Education, and Welfare, is being distributed as a community health service by the Hospital Care Association of Durham. H. C. Cranford, Jr., public rela tions director of the Blue Cross Plan, said his organization has been authorized by the federal health agency to reprint the fold ’er and distribute it in North Caro lina. Hospital Care has already printed more than 50,000 of the leaflets, Cranford said, and will mail them out this week to all North Carolina hospitals, public health departments, doctors and Other health agencies. Additional quantities will be printed as need ed. While pointing out that “it is impossible to know when or where an epidemic may occur or how extensive it may be, the fold er says that judging by experi ence elsewhere, health authorities believe many communities will have epidemics this fall or win- ter (1957-1958); there probably will be tew deaths due directly to the flu; most patients will recover in 3 to 5 days, but will remairl weak and exhausted for several more days.” The folder recommends vacci nation against the flu with the new vaccine now being produced for everyone except persons known to be allergic to eggs. What to do iri' the event of an epidemic, what to do until the doctor comes, what to do in the case of complications, are other subjects covered in the folder.
