Scoutin’ A round

Lefty Gomez, former New York Yankee baseball player, stopped
at Joseph Hewes Hotel late Saturday night with his wife and two
children. Lefty is the present manager of the Binghamton ball club,
the “Triplets,” which will come here the end of this month. He was
making a check on arrangements. In connection with the coming of
the ball team for Spring training, our own Town Committee, local
citizens and Chamber of Commerce are giving their wholehearted
support to help make the team members comfortable during their
stay with us.

Miss Janie Mitchener was scheduled to play some selections of
sacred concert music last Sunday at the First Methodist C hurch in
Elizabeth City. Due to the snow and
rain, she had to cancel her engage- j
roent. The Elizabeth City High
School Glee Club created quite a stir
aver the excellent performance given.
The upper balcony and a good portion
of the lower part of the church was j
filled by those who turned out to hear
the kids sing; It was well dene.

bert Peele of the Daily Advance
once said, in substance, “Many
things are done for which there
is no material compensation, but
the reward of self satisfaction for
having served.” Harmonious
voices of youth blended in harm
ony, particularly the harmony of
sacred music, cannot fail to tonch
even the hardest heart. The Rev.
Allen P. Brantley’s exortation,
backlighted by the cultured voices
of the regular choir, provided a
titling prelude to the program.
o—
The mayoralty and Councilmanic ,
contest is really beginning to foment.
Rumors are flying fast and furious.
We hear that everything is decided—
i it’s, all sot. Then we hear now names
] being bruited about. Yet our present
j' incumbents .are Holding tight and
o no comments. I!ut that does
, not. stop the rumor factory from]
working overtime. Mentioned as pos
sible; candidates for Mayor from
among the "scuttlebutt” are Mayor

to; ru:i' as the opposition, says the
rrapevine. in addition to one self an
nounced’ candidate, George S. Twiddy,
arc Crank Holmes, Dave Holton, Kid
Jones, Ernest Kehayes, Mike Malone,
S.d Campon, Clyde Hollowed and
Jesse L. Harrell. But there never
was much truth in “scuttlebutt” and
rumors, so this just makes interest
ing speculation. It won’t be long
now before there will be some state
ments f »r:ln oming from the present
j incumbents. We won't be surprised
] to be hearing shortly from those who
are contemplating running for the
I most important posts of representing
| their neighbors in administrative ca
pacities—with wisdom, sagacity and
j good judgment.
o
There are many—go go the rn-
THE CHOWAN HERALD. KDFVn'N N. C.. THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1947
j mors—who feel that the calibre
of a person who seeks to serve
the public is geneially of the
! highest order. That they have a
sincere desire to be elected be
cause they want to do something
for their fellow citizens. They
also believe that being of such a
high calibre, those elected would
not for a moment seek to hang
on to an honorable job if they
personally felt they were not do
ing it justice. Not and be living
up to their Christian duties. We
believe this, too.
o
We enjoyed the comments about
Solveig Lunde and the furor that ap
parently has arisen over the reports
on her person, her clothing and her
playing. The only difference between
some people and others is that some
have the right to express their opin
ions in the press by virtue of their
connection with it; others can write
letters to the editor, which may or
may not be printed. Unfortunately or
not, it is seemingly the fact, that a
report in a paper, regardless of
whether the one who reported it as
his opinion got up on the wrong side
of the bed, or had had a bad day prior
to his attendance at the scene of the
reporting, does cause a definite reac
tion among readers—whether good or
i bad, and sometimes is accepted as the
] final word from the mouth of the oft
• maligned cow. So in the interest of
J free speech and unbiased press, let us
] give an excerpt from the February is
j sue of the Musical Courier—people
who make their livelihood front news
l on music: “Solveig Lunde on an ex
tensive concert tonr of the United
States and Canada. Appeared in
January in major cities front Califor
nia to North Bay. Canada (including
Elizabeth City, NY C.) One of her
engagements was in the Beethoven
Concerto No. 1 and Walter Piston’s
i Concertino for Piano and Chamber
Orchestra ’with the Musical Arts So
ciety of San Diego under Nikolai So
koloflf. She has been engaged bv the
San Francisco Symphony for next
season.” While sheer opinion is inad
missible before the Court of Law,
there is no harm in weighing one
opinion against multitudinous factual
evidence that Miss Solveig Lunde is
certainly in demand for her perform
ances. (An interested music lover
more concerned with music than the
clothes, said that in her “opinion”
Miss Lunde wore simple, sweet cloth
ing, so as not to detract from the
musical presentation). This writer
learned early in life that “hell hath
no fury like a woman scorned.” (Gra
cious, the prospect is too horrible to
think of—but what name could we
give to the situation wherein there is
more than one woman scorned?)
