A LIFT FOR TODAY
■k ... 1 know that my redeemer liveth.
—Job 19:25.
“RISE GRATEFUL dust! I heard Hini say:
“For thee have I put death to
m °v£ thJinir Thee, Almighty One, that Jesus Christ
arose and now reigns triumphant over death.
Buy Christmas Seals
It is encouraging to note that the initial re
sponse to the Christmas Seal Sale in Edenton
is very generous, so that the co-chairmen.
Mrs. James Bond and Ralph Parrish are very
hopeful that the campaign to continue the
fight against tuberculosis "ill again be suc
cessful in Chowan County.
Letters and packages are already decorated
with these seals, happy harbingers of the
Christmas season and symbolizing a g>ft in
the long but persistent fight to eradicate tu
berculosis. In fact these seals are almost as
much a part of Christmas as tinsel, holly and
other decorative materials used to celebrate
the great holiday.
These seals support tuberculosis associa
tions in the work of preventing and control
of the disease, so that there should be nobody
who should not buy them. Tuberculosis is
no respecter of persons, and all too often it
is prevalent and not known. The spread of
the disease while still alarming, has been
greatly curtailed through the sale of Christ
mas Seals and this effort warrants the sup
port of everybody in helping in the fight to
provide the knock-out blow of the stubborn
and vicious enemy of mankind.
If you have not sent in your contribution,
do it now before the many Christmas atten
tions crowd it from your mind.
Almost Made It
Though too late to carry a story about it
in this week’s Herald, it is encouraging to rc
port that 107 pints of blood were donated at
the bloodmobile in Edenton Monday. This
is still three pints under the quota of 110
pints, but it is an increase over most of the
other visits, which is very encouraging.
In reality 113 reported to donate a pint of
blood, but six were rejected for various rea
sons, and of the 107 donors-72 were civilians
and 35 Marines.
The need for blood is great and it is a
reflection on a community when more bipod
is used than is donated locally, which has
been the rase at Chowan Hospital.
Those who donated blood are none the
worse off physically, they lost very little time
and suffered no pain. But they have the sat
isfaction of knowing that by their cooperation
they might be the means of alleviating suf
fering and even helping to save a human life.
Having blood on hand for an emergency is
: very important and there should be no time
when the quota is not reached.

Judge Chester Morris was not feeling so
i very good Monday when he opened a term of
Chowan Suprieor Court, for he hadn’t fully
recovered from a case of flu. However, he
was reason for court spectators to enjoy a
good laugh shortly after court convened.
While waiting for bills of indictment to be re
turned from the Grand Jury, the Judge agreed
to hear divorce actions. It was while an eld
erly Negro was testifying that he said he knew
the plaintiff had not been with his wife in the
fast two 'years. “How do you know that?”
asked Judge Morris. “Wal,” said the colored
man, “I knew that boy since he was a little
baby that’s why I know he wasn’t with his
wife.” The Judge sternly ordered “Come
down,” and continued “how can apy person
say he knows a man and wife had not been
together in two years?” And byway of ex
-•’anat'on he said, ‘‘Why Solicitor W alter Ca
th;'vL T was with my wife last night, but
he doesn't actually know if I was or not.”
Thi r.e wa.- a brief silence, but Solicitor Ca
hoon. retorted, “If you were not with your
wife last, night, you better not go home to
night.”
o
It's hard for me to print a story about last
week’s Rotary program, for it was all in
French. Miss Ann Mayo had four of her
seventh grade French pupils at the meeting*
and all that they said on the program was in
French, so that I hardly know a word they
said. However the quartet, Diane Brabble.
Marlene Gilley.' Dena Lee Lorance and P. L
Beeler, carried on a conversation with Miss
Mayo demonstrating that they are learning
the language very well. Some of the Rotar
ians spoke a few words in French to Miss
Mayo after the meeting. It must have been
l low grade French because she couldn’t un
lerstand what they were saying.
o
Incidentally, the Rotarians decided not to
sell fruit cakes this year. Most of the Ro
•arians had to buy the fruit cakes last yeat j
because they didn’t sell ’em, so that a few
of the boys claim they still have fruit cake
'eft from last year. Well, those cakes should
be old and mellow or stale and dry.
o
Many Edenton football fans braved the
rain last Friday night to see the F-dentoi
\ces play Farmville in Greenville, and a lo*
f ’em arrived home pretty well soaked. Foot
ball is a funny"thing, for if just about 99 pe:
rent of ’em hdld to do some kind of- work un
ler 'he same conditions, the weather would
lave been too bad. Anyway, the Aces should
ie proud of the support they have received
r rcm Edentoh fans and should show their ap
preciation next Friday night by playing their
very best in an effort to ccp another state
title. In the elimination games each succeed
ing game seems harder and if reports are cor
-ect. Mebane will be the toughest foe the Aces
have met. this season, so that it will take all
the Aces have and no monkey business. The
\ces have played some very good football
his season but on the other hand they have
olaved some sorry ball. They are capable of
playing a brand of ball which will win the
championship and fans arq-'hoping they do
iust that. Let’s go Aces!
o-
Christmas isn’t very far off, and some o'
the youngsters are getting their requests to
Santa Claus in time. So far three letters have
been secured from the following:
Dear Santa Claus: I would like to have
a tool set and a tab'e for the tool set. boy’s
«port watch, waterproof and shockproof, a blue
football shirt and blue football pants, a white
football helmet with mask and a pair of foot
ball ’shoes and a pair of football shoulderpads.
—Your Partner. Danny Hassell
Andy Bowman sent a picture of an airplane
set and hid this to say: Dear Santa Claus:
I am trying to Ire a good boy. Could you
bring me this toy? lam sending you a pic
ture of it. ' —Andy.
Sharon Parker also sent a picture of a Tink
er Toy Set and wrote: Dear Santa, I would
like to have these toys for Christmas: Doll,
basanette, tinker set and bake-a-cake-set.
—Jhank You. Sharon Parker
With practically everything closed Thurs
day, Thanksgiving, Edenton should be a quiet
place. Os course, the hunters and fishermen,
weather permitting, will be on the job, so
that fish and game might be in for a tough,
day
) O
Getting The Herald out a day ahead of time I
is no easy job, and the boys in the shop will
be about worked down by the time Thanks- ‘
giving day gets here. Maybe a part of their
prayers will be that they are thankful they do
not have to work Thursday. Anyway, here’s
hoping’all our readers will have a very quiet,
enjoyable and beneficial holiday. There’s
plenty to be thankfut for no matter what our
lot may be, so let’s all be thankful.

German Gifts Are ‘Thank You*
For Fine U. S. Troop Behavior
Goeppingen. Germany An
American general and his men
have impressed leaders in Ger
man towns so well that one civic
■jroup presented the commander
i vith their most esteemed pnsses
iion—the town’s colors, flown
only on special occasions.
The mayor of Geislingen was
Tuoted in the German press the
day following the presentation as
laying that soldiers of the “pen
tomic” Eighth Infantry Division
had not been involved in any se
•ious incident since their arrival
learly a year ago and that such
F ine discipline deserved the ap
preciation of the German people.
The division commander, Major
General Thomas M. Watlington,
instigated special training for his
troops long before they moved to
Germany from Fort Carson, Colo.,
last fall. The orientation pro
gram included classes in the Ger
man language, history and traffic
rules. * j ’
On the eve of his departure for
a new assignment in Paris, Gen
eral Watlington found himself
saying goodbye to as many Ger
man leaders as commanders of
his major units, located in South
ern Germany in an area triangu
lated by Ulm, Heilbronn and
Nunberg.
In addition to the historic flag
of Geislingen, the departing gen
eral received a special etching of
his headquarters city, Goeppin
gen, from a German delegation
headed by the chief of the county
government.
It is the Eighth's boast that of
ficial records show the division
with a lower percentage of un
oleasant incidents between its
members and Germans than any
other in Europe.
God sendeth fortune to fools, i
—-John Heywood.
