VFW Meets Snag
For War Memorial
Members Say Coopera
tion Lacking With
Legion
According to members of the local
VFW Post, the organization has en
countered a snag in the plans for the
erection of a memorial honoring the J
war dead of Edenton and Chowan |
County. In February, 1950, William |
H. Coffield, Jr., Post, 9280, Veterans
of Foreign Wars began making plans
for the erection of a beautiful monu
ment on the Court House greens to
honor the battle dead of World Wars
I and 11. The cost of this erection
would be approximately SISOO and
the local Post has asked for the re
lease of the Memorial Fund appro
priated in 1944 by the County Com
missioners and Town Council. This
fund of SI,OOO plus interest is being
held in trust at The Bank of Eden- ■
ton and the VF\y post has offered to
take the obligation of paying the ;
balance of the cost if this will be re- i
leased for the purpose. 1
A letter of proclamation was read
to the County Commissioners and the j
Town Council asking for the release j
of the memorial fund for the purpose '
of honoring the war dead with an i
appropriate memorial. Both bodies <
considered the request and advised the (
local post to contact the other vet- ]
crans organization in Edenton and de- i
ciae on the type of memorial wanted, <
then both organiaztions appear before
them for the official release of the
fund.
A committee of VFW members have
on two occasions contacted the other
veterans organiation but cannot get
any assistance or cooperation.
It was announced after the VFW
meeting Tuesday night that the local ’
post has not given up on their pro- ‘
ject. However, if some interest and '
cooperation is not shown by other or
ganizations in the near future the
VFW will be forced to alter their (
plans.
This group of boys are the ones who 1
saw dead heroes fall. They know, as '
only they can know, why their fallen '
comrades should be honored; and it
was announced b the VFW memorial J
committee that these boys will have
a memorial of some type if the Wil- .
liam H. Coffield, Jr., Post, 9280, has
to hand carve a monument of wood.
The local post asks the public this !
question? “Do you want to honor 1
the boys who honored you enough to
pay the supreme price for our free- ,
dom, your happiness, your peace, your ‘
life,- or would- ou like to see us drop
our plans ?” '
The post has no intention of drop
ping its memorial plans and VFW 1
members are still begging for coopera- *
tion in the erection for those who gave
so much for so many but have been
remembered by so few.
Correspondence and cooperation on 1
this matter will be greatly appreciated

Rams. Griffin allowed only six hits
during the 11 innings, while the Co- 1
lonials collected eight safe bingles
off Carratt’s offerings.
Both teams played a splendid brand :

their winning run in the 11th inning
on an overthrow at third base.

; One of the many reasons why North
I Carolina needs more improved pasture
and more livestock on its farms is that
• consumption of livestock products in
t the State falls far short of what nu
tritionists recommend for good health,
I says D. W. Colvard, head of the Ani
mal Industry Department of the North
, Carolina Experiment Station.
The State would need half again as
. much milk if its citizens consumed j
the amount of milk and dairy pro- 1
ducts recommended by nutritionists,
says Colvard. They recommend 391 •
quarts of milk or its equivalent in]
dairy products per person annually. I
The average person in the United j
States consumes 284 quarts, but the
average in North Carolina is only
228 quarts.
Fluid milk was once a classic ex
ample of North Carolina’s livestock
deficiency. During the past 10 years, 1
local Grade A production has equalled
or exceeded the demand during the
summer of “flush milk” season. How
