New Herald Feature
The Chowan Herald is initiating a new
service which it is hoped readers will find
interesting and helpful. \\ ith ths issue will
be published a column to be known as “Ihe
Three P’s” under the direction of a coun
selor of experience. In this column the coun
selor will attempt to answer and give advice
on problems that o.me up in every day liv
ing.
The answers and advice will be the sole
responsibility of the counselor and not ne
cessarily the opinion of this newspaper.
We hope our readers will like it and sub
mit questions in care of the editor.
Doctors Overworked
It will be of interest to Edenton and Cho
wan people the announcement that Edenton
doctors, after October 12. will discontinue
office hours at night.
This practice is in general keeping in all
communities in this section of the state, where
night office hours have long since been aban
doned.
It is not the purpose of the doctors to cre
ate a hardship for their patients, but it is
rather a move in the direction of their per
sonal welfare. The work load for local doc
tors has increased to such an extent that it
becomes necessary for them to consider their
own health, and at the same time provide
more time to spend with their families.
By discontinuing night office hours does not
mean that the doctors will neglect their pa
tients. They will always be available for
?mergpncies of art’’ kind at nil horns, but thos o
who call at the office at night will be obliged
to make arrangements to call during the day.
Doctors, like all other human beings, need a
certain amount of rest and recreation, and it
is in the interest of their health more than
anything else that the new policy has been
adopted.
Os course, the doctors hope their patients
understand their position and that the change
will not cause any undue hardships.
Terrific Fire Loss
With the observance of Fire Prevention
Week in progress it is timely to remind read
ers that fire, always a constant threat, last
year (1957 ) destroyed $152,000,000 in farm
property alone. And accidents on the farm
resulted in 3.100 deaths, a large number
ircm fire.
Combustible substances like hay, straw and
gasoline, plus heat-producing equipment—
matches and smoking tobacco and sparks from
machinery (not to mention the chance of
lightningi—combine to increase the danger of
fire on the farm. In addition, many farms
are in isolated areas which fire-fighters can
not quickly reach.
Because of this, the National Board of Fire
Underwriters advises that each phase of the
farmers daily work should be done with the
threat of fire in mind. The farmer should
inspect his entire farm carefully for fire haz
ards. Cardinal safety rules is that heat,
sparks or flames (actual or potential) and
combu-tibles like hay. straw, gasoline or kero
sene do not mix. Keep plenty of space be
tween them.
Here are some suggestions offered by the
National Board of Fire Underwriters:
1. A garden hose, if you have water under
pressure. Keep it handy; have plenty of bib
type outlets where you can hook it up.
2. A back-pack pump. The tank holds five
gallons of water and can be carried anvwhere.
3. Your fruit-spraying equipment. It’s mo
bile, carries plenty of water and throws a
good spray.
4. A ladder, for reaching fires on roofs or
for rescue purposes.
5. Fire pails and buckets. Keep them fill
ed with water and hanging on hooks or brac
kets, oije pail for each 400 or 500 square feet
of building area. Cover pails to reduce evap
oration.
It is very fitting to set aside a week to be
observed as Fire Prevention Week, but like
tbe late R. K. Hall, veteran Edenton fire chief,
***** week in tb< year Fire

. J&M. I
A group of stockholders of Edenton Indus
tries met one night last week at the Peoples
Bank & Trust Company. A number of them
arrived at the bank promptly on time, but
Dick Atkinson was detained and turned up
late. While waiting one cf the group said that
if he could get in the bank he’d get enough
money to finish financng the local fberglass
concern. “No you wouldn’t,” said another,
"because you wouldn’t know how to open the
places where the cash is stored.” But it re
mained for John Graham to say, “just put
three boys under six years old in there and
give ’em a hammer, screw driver and a wrench
and I'll guarantee you they’ll open anything
they’ve got in the bank.” And John might
not be far wrong.
o
And incidentally, while meeting in the di
rectors’ room, one of the group said there
should be red carpet on the floor. Asked why.
he replied, “Because a fellow has to sweat
blood sometimes to get a loan, so that the
drops of blood would not be so noticeable on
the floor.”
o
A group of Edenton football fans went to
Baltimore Saturday night to see the profess
ional football game between the Chicago Bears
and Baltimore Colts. They were thrilled with
the playing of Bill George, brother of Nick
George, who plays with the Bears, but despite
Bill’s outstanding performance, the Bears lost
to the Colts.
o
It was a group of wiggling Rotarians at
last week’s Rotary meeting, when each one
tried his hand (or rather his body ) at trying
to keep a hula hoop in motion. Jack Habit
uncorked a rather unique program by divid
ing the club into two sides to determine the
winner. Moving pictures were taken of the
contest which should be a scream when they
are shown at a later date. At any rate, only
three Rotarians managed to keep the hoop
swinging for any length of time, they being
Jimmy Ricks. Frank Collins and Don Dal
ton. They in turn competed for the “cham
pionship” with Jimmy Ricks winning out.
He received a prize from Jack Habit but I’m
too modest to say what it was.
o
From the looks of things Monday night,
just about everybody in Edenton except the
police and firemen were at the football game
in Elizabeth City and, as is usually the case, !
in this particular game, the Aces came home
nursing another defeat at the hands of the
Yellow Jackets. It wasn’t that the Jackets
were two touchdowns better than the Aces,
but as has been the case on numerous occa
sions. the Aces just withered under pressure
n their great desire to once more topple the
\ ellow Jackets. Fans were also treated to
a fight among a couple of service men. but
s he ccps turned up to break up the show. At i
In .v rate, it was a good football game with !
the two teams about evenly matched except I
'hat Elizabeth City was hanging on to two
touchdowns and the Aces none. About all j
if the consolation we have is to say, “Wait i
mtll next year.” The Edenton Band did it
elf proud at the game, joining with the big .
Elizabeth City Band to provide entertain
ment for the large number of spectators.

W illiam E. Bond has taken over the du
'ies as chairman of the County Commis-
succeeding the late West Byrum. and
he s going about his job like a veteran at the
business. Monday was his first full day as ;
chairman andjjespite a goodly amount of busi
ness. the was disposed of with such dis
natch that the Commissioners finished up be
fore the noon hour.

At the Court House the room used for
\ears and years by the Masons has been re
modeled so that it now looks like a real of
fice for Mrs. Evelyn Williams, county ac
ountant. The steps in the room were rip
ned out and the room given a coat of paint.
'O that the various Masonic emblems painted
at the top of the wall and ceiling bv the late
Paul Olson are a thing of the past. Mrs. Wil
liams is now very proud of her office.

Miss Francis Harrold of Macon, Ga., can
consider Herself a very lucky person. Re
cently Miss Harrold made a trip to Williams
burg and vicinity and on her way horn# stop
ped over in Edenton, spending the night at
the Eden Motel. When she reached Colum
bia, S. C„ she missed an onyx ring set with
diamonds, which she prizes very highly as a
valuable heirloom. She telephoned Chief of
Police George I. Dail to ennhst his help in
trying to find the lost ring, telling him that
she stopped a number of times along the
Great Dismal Swamp Canal to take pictures
and also spent a night in Edenton. She said
she lost the ring somewhere between Williams
burg and Columbia, S. C. Chief Dail went
to the Eden Mold and inquired from Mi*.
Shelton Moeif if die saw anything of the ring.

Grand Prizes Given
To Season Winners
in Fishing Contest
Fish Biologist Refers j
To Edenton Gaining
Title of Rocks ish Cap
ital of State
Arthur W. Dickson, fish biolo
gist of the North Carolina Wild
life Resources Commission, I
speaking at a dinner last week
for the grand prize winners of
the Chamber of Commerce fish- j
ing contest, said that Edenton is;
fast gaining the .title of “rock- j
fish capital of the state." Dick-1
son said more and more sports I
fishermen are going to Edenton
for rock fishing.
Dickson was the principal
speaker at the dinner which
also honored representatives of
the five business firms which
donated the weekly as well as (
the grand prizes in the 14-week >
contest.
Grand award winners for the j
heaviest entries in five classes
were Mrs. E. P. Kehayes, wife of
Edenton’s Mayor, for large mouth j
bass; Clyde Miller, Colerain, I
for rocks ish: Hoskin S. Bass.!
Edenton, for white perch; eight-!
year : old Norman Perry, Jr., I
Colerain, for crappie, and Mel-1
vin Evans, Edenton, for bream. |
Representing the participating
firms were George Alma By
rum. Byrum Hardware Com
oany; Watson Bell, Bell’s Store;
Scott Harrell, Edenton Marina;
Ed Parker, Hughes-Parker Hard
ware Company, and Max Gar
land, Western Auto Store.
Mayor E. P. Kehayes praised
the Chamber of Commerce and
the business firms for sponsor
ing the .contest and creating in
terest in local fishing. He said
Edenton is fortunate to have
natural resources which provide
excellent recreation. The Mayor
also said he was happy that the
town and county are taking
steps to improve the harbor by
removing broken pilings and ob
structions. He added that the
project will greatly increase the
use of local waters for recrea-
I
She searched everywhere and
even looked in the vacuum
cleaner to see if it might have
been picked up. It was while
Mrs. Moore and Chief Dail
were talking about the ring
when a colored boy heard
’em. “I found a ring in the
yard.” said the boy. “I,
thought it was a 5 and 10-
cent store ring, so I didn’t
sav anything about it.” But
the ring is worth at least SIOO
not to say anything about its
value as an heirloom. The
ring was sent to Miss Harrold,
who in turn mailed the boy a
reward of 10 bucks, so both
Miss Harrold and the colored
boy were very happy and
Miss Harrold rightly consid
ers herself very lucky.

ing is a million dollar business
|in North Carolina. The State j
Wildlife Resources Commission
, was created to protect and de- j
velop the state’s natural re
sources, both for recreational
j and commercial purposes. Diek
! son described several fish man-
I agement projects which help

are aimed at developing “less
time between bites.”
“Our regulations and limits
are designed to safeguard these!
natural resources,” stated Dick
son.
