B >- PETER ’* * CARLTON
School children are showing a lively interest in Edenton and
Chowan County, the Chamber of Commerce and Merchants Asso
ciation reports. Close to 20 requests have come in this past week
for descriptive literature from such places as Winston-Salem, Grif
ton, Charlotte, Statesville and Clemmons. We received an interest
ing request from Carroll Swearengen, president of the Two Rivers
Teachers’ Association in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Mr. Swearengen
asks us if we know where he can secure wooden money which may
fchave been issued in North Carolina or in Edenton. He says he’s an
collector of wooden money, -—-v -

having one of the largest collections
there is, numbering over 1,100 pieces,
representing 245 different cities and
43 different states. If any of you
readers know where there is any for
sale or otherwise obtainable give the
Chamber office a buzz.

farms in North Carolina. Arthur
L. Winslow of Yarmouth, Maine,
wants a dairy farm or a job on
one. He says his wife can work,
too. He’s a 38-year-old veteran.
Ernest Wancenried of Avoca,
Minnesota, has a farm there and
capital of $20,000. He wants to
purchase a farm in North Caro
lina. J. 11. Resco of Clifton,
Kansas, says he can come in Feb
ruary to look the country over.
He wants a dairy with about 20
cows. We have many more re
quests. Those of you who have
land to sell or are interested in
any of these requests, contact

ciation office.
Edenton's Great White Way was
the scene of many shoppers and vis
itors this past week-end. Many mer
chants expressed satisfaction over
the amount of business that came in.
Jimmie Earnhardt’s corn popper cer
tainly was busy. Many folks are
commenting on the fact that the
town’s main stem looks much better
and more inviting since a goodly
number of merchants are leaving
their window lights on a little long
er. Among those whose lights were
seen on this week are: Joe Vail,
John Habit’s grocery, Ralph Parrish’s
Electrical Appliances, Iredell Florist,
The Betty Shoppe, Quinn Furniture
Store, Tank Gas Company, Edenton
Furniture Company, Pender’s, and
those whose lights are on by nature
of their business include The Albe
marle Restaurant, Mitchener’s Phar
macy, Leggett & Davis, Ed Habit,
Dixie Grill and Cherry’s Restaurant.
You should have seen the get- I
up on Ernest Kehayes when he |
went hunting this week. That
red chapeau is something to write
home about—maybe the quail
could spot him miles away—he
only shot two. One spectator
suggested that-instead of asking
how many quail lie shot, one t
should ask how many shots he |
fired. But then we know it can’t
be his fault—for didn’t we read
recently in the papers that all
the birds are down on Pea Is
land? Charlie Overman is still
looking for his pet bird dog who
went off on his own while they
were hunting. Maybe he’s down
on Pea Island, Charlie, flushing !
the birds. They say there are
upwards of 18.000 or so on the
refuge. Isn’t science wonderful
—to enable someone to count
that many birds?
Fish ponds are stirring up much in
terest around these parts. County
Farm Agent Charles Overman reports
that an agricultural engineer spent
some time in the county with Cyril i
Winslow and Percy Chappell of Ty- j
ner going over the possibilities of:
planning fish ponds on their farms.!
It seems that the soil is too porous
j for maintaining uniform water !.cv« 1 j
during extremely dry seasons. Charlie]
suggested digging,* holes two, four
and six feet deep to he checked per
iodically throughout the next sum
mer, thus making an inexpensive way
n' testing the water holding capacity j
of the soil.
We hear that the American Le
gion is going to organize a jun
ior baseball league. To play, a
boy must be under 18, but his
father need not he a member of
the Legion. It is expected tin t I
Edenton, Hertford, Windsor, Eli
zabeth City. Ahosk’e and Wit
liamston w'l.l be, invii d to par- 1
ticipate. Walter Holton' is State
Director and Ray Everett is Post
Representative, we are told.
Speaking of recreational activities.
Coach Lindsey tells us that the ar
mory is a popular place for the kids.;
Boys and girls roller skate, and all 1
can make use of the various games!
and facilities. Among those activit
ies listed are: Badminton, volley
ball, ping-pong, shuffleboard and a
punching hag. Ben Askew and Coach
Lindsey supervise. About 15 or 20 '
youngsters come in from the county
to avail themselves of the ben !'D
of the program. They plan to in-1
augurate what will be called “midgett j
intramurals”, from among young- •
sters in the fourth grade and up. The
schedule calls for eight teams. Re
cently Coach Lindsey gave out some 1
awards to deserving groups and in
dividuals. The sixth grade girls were ,
awarded a new basketball for faith- 1
ful attendance. The eighth and ninth
grade boys also received a new bas
ketball. Bubber Dobson received an
individual award of a football be
cause he took part in all recreational
programs and gave assistance. Base
balls were given to R. Hassell, Wal
lace Goodwin, Haywood Rog-mson
Jack Habit, Morris Hassell and Fred
Keeter. A1 Habit received a, slugged
bas°hall hat for perfect attendance
at sports during the last three years.
A ii"- 1 trsin'rg program is con’eri
plat'd by Coach Lindsey wherein h"
nia-is Hv'teach the younger boys how
to officiate, keep time, act as score
keepers and learn the rules of the
game of basketball and other snorts
(This looks like a good thing and

Bob Simmons, band director of the
’Elizabeth City High School band,
informs us that the Suffolk Merch
ants Association has inquired as to
how they, too, can start a band. Bob
tells us that during February, the
Elizabeth City Band will be hosts
of the Lenoir High School Band over
a week-end of concert playing. They
say that the Lenoir High School band
is one of the oldest in the State, hav
ing been in operation continuously
since 1927. They’ve won during this;
time District. State and National!
honors.
Dave Holton, Walter Holton,
Jimmie Partin, Henry Cuthrell,
Graham Byrum, Jay Coffee, en
gineer, have been making plans,
laying out the hall park, plac
ing stakes (which incidentally
were pulled up by someone), and
getting ready to haul the neces
sary dirt. Others who have shown
interest are Joe Conger, Mayor
Haskett and Ed Bull'd)). The hall
team is coming in March as most
of us know. The City is really
trying to get things ready for
them.
The Men's Shop has uii interest
ing sign in their window pertaining
to the rainfall here in Chowan Coun
ty for last year. They say it rained
at least-100 days. They urge readers
and those pasing by to buy raiil
coats. The most interesting thing i?
that since the sign has been up we’ve
been having pretty weather.
