( . - Thursday; October h, 1951 We’re In Accord Members of the Edenton Varsity Club struck a re sponsive chord with The Herald Tuesday night when they appeared before Town Council in the interest of intelli gent planning for recreation at Hicks Feld. The idea, no doubt, was born due to the fact that seating facilities at Hicks Field are in a deplorable state and if the field is to be maintained something must be done about the bleachers. At present the football bleachers are danger ous and only the first six rows are permitted to be used due to the rotten condition of the main supports. The Varsity Club advanced the idea of securing the services of a playground and recreation center expert to devise a plan which would provide the most use of the acreage at Hicks Field. They pointed out that the recreational area should be planned for joint year-round use by the school and community, taking into considera tion any permanent constructions, such as a swimming pool, which has been the target of consideration off and on for a number of years. In other words, what the Varsity Club has in mind is a master plan which would govern further construction and arrangements for various kinds of recreation so that the area will be used to the best advantage. The Herald agrees with the Varsity Club Ln its con tention that it is unwise to continue to repair and spend money needlessly on the present seating facilities. Only last month over S2OO worth of lumber wag used to patch up the football bleachers and even then only six rows are deemed safe to be occupied. The Varsity Club suggested that an expert in planning be contacted to prepare a master plan for use of the area. The Herald believes it a wise move. In this way the most use of the field will be realized and recreation facilities will be on a more systematic basis, thus being more beneficial to those taking part, those witnessing various events and the plot being more attractive. Os course, development of the area will of necessity stretch out over a number of years due to the expense involved. However, what is necessary to be done should be done in conformity to an intelligent plan which eventually will result in an up-to-date recreation center of which the community may well be proud. The Varsity Club was asked to make an investigation relative to the expense involved in securing a master plan, and will report its findings to Town Council within a short time. The Herald hopes and believes the club members are so enthused over the idea that they will find a capable person to work out a plan. The cost should not be too great and it will, without doubt, pay j dividends in years to come. You’re Invited Chowan County’s Fair, sponsored by Edward G. Bond Post, No. 40, American Legion, will open next Monday and continue throughout the week. Officials of the fair have been working hard in an, effort to present a fair which will reflect credit to the county. They have sought many kinds of exhibits and as an inducement have pre pared a premium list of over SI,OOO for prizes for the best exhibits. % The officials beli eve many exhibits and displays will be on hand, so that they also hope many visitors will at tend the fair to witness what, will he on hand. While still new in the fair game, the Legionnaires are trying to present a fair which will be both educational and enter taining. Aside from the various exhibits, there will be a free act at night, as well as several other features and, of course, the usual midway attractions. . Provision has ( also been made for school children, with white children admitted free on Wednesday and colored children on Thursday. The Herald joins the Legionnaires in extending an invitation to all to attend. * I ° TRY Cm\ Jg§ B|||§|s ifr fii\\. %|Au| Jr 1 / £ «(, : : ' ••■ qK& ’SRRxky' ji VilJy WKw j'A V ?>>>P>ifii ■ jt\ Jk- Jr JHkß^ v JPjjr B:; •:-;. |W. \ L I t^A’ ‘i-i® »£»:£/ # _ *:?£ : i£e® BKfo:~ A .fIM/ I .ftrt«xJßMßWMffy ,i - :Jr^., i .§/, . v Maa3aMßraf, ' ' . *(Aia, mk CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11,1961 f Heard & Seen By “Buff” A-.. Hi I Excuses come in handy many times. For instance, the other morning I told a certain lady her hair was turning gray. But not willing to admit ilt she said she had cook ed hot cakes for her husband for breakfast and that some of the flour, no doubt, floated into her hair. Well, I must have been cooking hot cakes, too. But then I didn’t notice any flour oil the bald spot on top of my dome. Gals just must keep in style at any cost. OA Sunday night I noticed one of our girls walking north on Broad Street wearing a pair of those shoes which make them look as though they are walking on their toes. I know the bloomin’ shoes were not comfortable, for after the young lady passed the group of people in front of the Methodist Church, she didn’t go very much further until I saw heT walking in her stocking feet and carrying the shoes. Well, she was in style until she reached Gale Street, but then, no doubt, she said “T’ell with the style—my toes hurt.” J. H. Allsbrook and Emest Kehayes went fishing one day last week, but they didn’t have their minds very much on fishing and, therefore, didn't catch any. While driving to the fishing grounds in the Rocky Hock sec tion they ran over a large rattlesnake on the road, which sort of dazed the reptile. They crawled out of the car and with the snake coiled up and the rattles rattling, they managed to kill the thing and brought it to town. They had the snake on their mind, which was their reason for not catching any fish. Chick Doak, a representative of the Curtis Publishing Company was one of the speakers at the Rotary Club Thursday afternoon and was telling about some of his experiences in the apple growing section of Washington State. He said while he was there he and his group of workers were allowed to have all the apples they wanted for making cider, but the trouble was that “they couldn’t keep the cider drunk up as fast as it hardened up.” Well, that would suit a lot of other fellows. Doc Wallace Griffin is getting very much enthused over catching Ocean View spots over around the U. S. Fish Hatchery. On Wednesday night of lart. week he came to my house with four of the things he had just caught. And the economical angle of the fishing is that he didn’t have to go to Ocean View nor did he have to buy salt water shrimp—he used worms. He probably would have caught more, but his worms gave out and he says they bite good. He insisted that I take the spots and eat ’em so that there could be no fibbing about them being spots. The only bad fact about it was that Doc rang the door bell while I was taking a shower and I had j to go to the door in little more than my birthday clothes. o Due to the length of Town Council meetings the last two months, it’s easy to tell that the baseball season is over. On Tuesday night the Councilmen remained in ses sion until after 11 o’clock, as was the case at the Sep tember meeting. The boys have a knack of getting through with the business in a hurry when a baseball game is on tap. Harry Jordan, who lives in Minneapolis, Minn., reads The Herald religiously and keeps up with local happen ings. He is much concerned about the condition of Henry Gardner, who recently returned from a Boston hospital. ! Well, there’s a host of friends who hope Henry will soon I be up and around and maybe take a little fishing trip. Anyway, Mr. Jordan says. “Your paper certainly has good news coverage and I look forward to its arrival each week.” Summer is gradually losing its grip and the last few mornings if felt good to get around a little heat. Possi bly it will not be long now until we hear somebody say “I’ll be glad when summer gets here again.” It’s the old story of being hard to please all people all of the time. o Arrangements are about complete for the Chowan County Fair which begins next Monday and lasts throughout the week. Bob Pratt hasn’t anything to do with the fair, but he did a swell job in selling adver tising for a fair edition. Bob sold enough advertising for 20 pages of The Herald, which made the little Herald group of employees almost work their hips off. Here’s hoping a large crowd attends and enjoys the fair next week. Edenton’s Aces will play Kinston on Hicks Field Fri day night. Let’s go out and give the boys our support. They’re not perfect, but will, no doubt, dish out a good game. Plans Shaping Up For Big Halloween Party October 31st Annual Kiddies’ Affair Expected to Attract Over 1,500 Plans for the anmwd children’s Hal loween party, sponsored by the Eden ton Women’s Club, are now underway and club officials announce that ev erything possible will be done to see that the kiddies have the time of their lives on Halloween night, Wednesday, October 31.

Curtis Representatives Speakers At Rotary Charles (Chick) Doak of Goldsboro and J. O. Maxwell of Atlanta, Ga., both of whom are connected with the Curtis Publishing Company, were speakers at the Rotary Club meeting Thursday afternoon. Mr. Doak pre sented some very interesting experi-, ences in his travels in the Northwest, | while Mr. Maxwell, yrhose time Vas limited, expressed a desire to return at some future date to speak.
