Respect Due
Our Soldiers
Continued from Page 1, Section 1
front of the County Court House
as the most appropriate place
1 for their soldiers’ memorial. It
was the most appropriate place
then. It continues to be the
most appropriate place now.
These soldiers were not consid
ered “second rate” when they
were dying. Why should a
memorial to their memory be
considered as warranting just a
second rate place now? I firm
ly believe that if we allow our
Confederate soldiers’ monument
to be moved to a second rate
site, these brave soldiers will
have died in vain, insofar as
we who permit it are concerned.
These Confederate soldiers
i are representative of all phases
[of our county history, as they
[were the sons, of the sons, of
our Chowan County people from
its beginning. You have read I
about them. They are the men'
who froze at Valley Forge. They j
are the men who lived on |
parched corn as they fought
battles at Seven Pines and in
the Wilderness. They are the
men who charged up the hill
against great odds at Gettys
burg. They are the ones who
fought in the Spanish-American
War. They are the ones who
fought in the Argonne. They
are the ones who fought on “D”
Day, in the Battle of the Bulge
and at Corregidor. They are the
ones who fought in the Korean
War. You know them. They
are you. They are your sons,
your husbands, your fathers,
your brothers, your uncles and
your forefathers back to the
Revolution and before.
Freedom was not permanently
accomplished in 1776, or in any
other war. In order to keep our
Freedom we continually have to
be worthy of it, and sometimes
fight again for it. When we be
gin to forget our heroes and sol
diers of the past, who have
passed this Freedom along to
us, and relegate our memory of
them to second rate places, we
are becoming perilously close to
not meriting our Freedom, and
lacking the courage to defend it.
According to The Chowan
Herald, February 4 edition, the
County Commissioners “are
anxious to hear any objections”
to the proposed plan for the re
moval of the Confederate sol
diers’ monument at their next
regular meeting at the Court
House Monday, March 7, at 9:36
A. M. It is to be hoped that
patriotic men and women of
Edenton and Chowan County
will attend this meeting. Brave
soldiers, who are dead, cannot
fight for their rightful place,
except through patriotic men
' and women who come after
’.them who are willing to see
that they* did not die in vain.

By CATHERINE A MAN
Assistant Home Economics Agent
Today, I am going to write
about a loan fund which is
available to rural girls who!
want to go to college. This I
loan is called the Jane S. Mc-
Kimmon Educational Loan Fund.
This loan fund was established
by the home demonstration
agents in 1927 as a tribute of
love and affection for their
State Home Demonstration
Agent, Dr. Jane S. McKimmon.
In 1929, the state organization i
of Home Demonstration Clubs |
assumed the responsibility of
the loan.
I
The purpose of the loan fund
is to assist rural girls to ob
tain a college education in any
field of study. Application
blanks may be secured from the
County Home Economics Agent,
I Miss Pauline Calloway, or from
I the assistant agent, Miss Cather
j ine Aman.
I Money shall be loaned with
out interest while the student
is in an accredited four-year
college, all loans to be repaid
within two years after finishing l
school. Failing to do this, the,
borrower agrees to pay interest
at six per cent from the date
the note is drawn. Should the
borrower marry, the date for
maturity automatically falls due.!
All applicants for loans must
be rural residents of North Car
olina who are able to present
sufficient credits from an ac
credited high school. Loans
are for students in North Caro
lina colleges only, and pref
erence will be given to 4-H
girls. No loans shall exceed
$500.00 annually.
All requests for loans must
be made by letter in handwrit
ing of the applicant, a filled-in
application blank and recom
mendation from the following:
Principal of high school (or
school last attended) and one
other teacher, .the home eco-i
nomics agent, one from a re-,
sponsible man or woman of her
community, a health certificate
from a reputable physician, and
her high school records. Stu
dents must present a record of
work done each year in college.
The application for loans shall
be made to the chairman of the
Jane S. McKimmon Educational
Loan Fund Committee by March
1, and shall be submitted by
her to each member of the Loan
Fund Committee subject to ma
jority rule.
The treasurer of the North]
Carolina Organization of Home
Demonstration Clubs shall hold 1
monies of this fund. . Checks
shall be issued only when in
structed by the Loan Fund
chairman and after receiving the
note of the borrower properly
signed and endorsed.
Each borrower is requested to

write to the chairman of the
Jane S. McKimmon Educational
Loan Fund Committee once each
quarter.
Loans for each school year are
made in two installments, one
at the beginning of each school
term. Each note must bear the
endorsement of the girl, her par
ents or guardian, and two citi
zens of approved financial re
sponsibility, than her fam
ily. These notes must be re
turned by June 10 and Decem
,ber 10. The committee shall at
| all times encourage girls to
! keep their indebtedness to the
minimum.
The treasurer shall hold all
notes and collect payments on
these notes as they fall due.
The committee shall be satis
fied with the student’s work be
fore extending help a second
year. j
j Failure to comply with the
' rules herein stated makes an ap- j
plicant ineligible for a loan.
' Next week, I shall write about!
, the Estelle T. Smith Loan Fund i
which is available for girls who!
wish to enter the nursing field. |

Club Points Out
Tourist Business
Continued from Page L Section 1
outside authorities on such mat-1
| ters who have been consulted. I
,Os this amount, the Woman's!
Club has assumed the responsi
bility of SI,OOO. Furthermore. j
the Woman’s Club has used
every cent of the profits from
! its tours for contributions to
restoration projects designed to
draw tourist business to Chowan
County. The. Cupola House, the
Iredell House, the Court House,
and the Barker House have
benefitted in this way.
The purpose of this project is
to increase 'the value of the
tourist business to Chowan
County. The method is to beau
tify two sites which greatly need
improving. The register at St.
Paul’s Church shows hundreds
of visitors a year, many of
whom never know there is any
thing worth seeing south of
Queen Street. The monument,
• if placed on the proposed site,
. would be visible the whole
length of Broad Street and
would attract into the business
district and the neighborhood of
the Court House, the Cupola
House, and the Barker House,
many people who never even
learn of their existence.
Chowan County has the
equivalent of a huge industry
lying dormant. The tourist bus
iness was worth 720 million dol
lars to North Carolina last year.
How much of that did Chowan
County get? Tt is un to this
j community not to throw away
, its most valuable economic as
set.

j LESSON
[S. p
. Continued from Page 6, Section 2
our day. The mission of Christ
to the world deals with urgent
maud's. The church is not an
other organization in the com
munity which takes its place
with the service clubs, the;
lodges and the country club.
The message of Christ deals
with human destiny. The appli
cation of his teachings holds the
promise of new life for men and
for all society. Churchmanship
requires a sense of urgency on;
our part to share the gospel
and to make its message effec
tive in every relationship.
In charging his followers to j
, help the weak. Paul's words hold
' as true today as they did in his
| time. Every church and every
| class includes certain members
j who are careless in attendance
and in loyalty. Self-giving calls
| for our interest and concern in
j helping them to find the richer
j treasures of faith. Few churches
] have their members assembled
jto full capacity at Sunday ser-1
i vices. Every Christian has an I
obligation to those whose care
lessness weakens the fellowship. I
Continuing his instructions, [
Paul counsels faithful Christians
,to be alert for those who pro
j mote selfish ends by endeavor
ing to divide the fellowship.
I The opposition of evil forces to
j the Christian faith is under
| standable. It is tragic when
' professing followers of Jesus use
their position to divide the fel-!
lowship. The answer to oppo
sition within the fellowship is
J Jesus—known, loved and fol
lowed. When we give our
selves, to Christ, we will not be
■ turned aside by those who pros
per by dividing the Christians
who are faithful.
The twentieth chapter of the
Book of Acts is teaching at its
best. It is a lesson in spiritual
growth. It is an irrefutable
fact that a church grows when
its members are both disciples
' and shepherds. Moden disciples
of Jesus are challenged by the
words of the apostle to learn
more about the faith, the mes
sage of the Bible, and the mean
ing of the faith for life in our
day, and to grow in faith and
dedication until self-giving in
1 Christian service becomes not
■ only necessary, but natural.
1 Every church member is called
to be a disciple. But church
members should also be shep-
I herds. We have an obligation
' to help our fellow Christians.
In many branches of the church
the members are referred to as (
\ “brother” or “sister.'" Such a j
custom is in keeping with the
relationship which Christians
have toward each other. We
are members of the family of '
, God. As such we are privileged
1 to help and strengthen one an
. other.
I We are. in short, called to be'
shepherds, sharing our faith
(with those whom we meet in
business, social life or our
i neighborhood. If we will only
jlook around us, in our daily liv-
ing. we will find ample oppor-jj
tunity to purify ourselves and'
our faith in daily self-giving. j|
