A LIFT FOR^TODAY As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men. Gal. 6:10. OFTEN (WIE SIGH for opportunities of doing good, whilst we neglect the openings of Providence in little things, which would frequently lead to the accomplish ments of most important usefulness. Crehbe. Lord, show us the opportunities near at hand, and then open before us wider vistas of service. Officials of the Edenton Baseball Club, players on this i year’s team and Manager Gashouse Parker deserve the plaudits of not only baseball fans, but Edenton citizens in general for the splendid record of the Edenton Co lonials. Edenton, the smallest town in the Coastal Plain Lea gue and playing its first year in the circuit, won the championship Saturday night when the Colonials defeat ed Goldsboro four out of five games played. In the semi finals the Colonials didn’t even give Wilson a chance, winning the first four straight games in a seven-game series. The Colonials, from a shaky beginning, developed into a strong hall club and provided baseball fans, not only in Edenton but from nearby counties, with just about every thing to be expected in the great national pastime. Sen sational catches were made in the outfield and on the in field thrilling plays were made which brought applause from the spectators. Timely hitting brought fans to their feet and an error or bone-head play resulted in “roasting” on the part of fans. True to form, the um pires came in for a goodly portion of criticism and heck- , ling from the stands. But in this connection, this year’s games were not marred by arguments with the umpires on the part of players as was the case last year in the Virginia League. Coastal Plain umpires for some reason had very few arguments to contend with, which is as it should be. A few players were sent out of the game, which evidently had its effect on curbing unnecessary “beefing” and arguing, which added to the pleasure of the game, for fans pay to see baseball and not a few hot heads who are prone to question almost every decision an umpire makes. AH in all, the 1962 baseball Beason has been a won derful success unless the financial status, of which the writer knows nothing about, tends to make it otherwise. < Due to Edenton’s participation in the Coastal Plain Lea gue the town has received a slice of favorable publicity which money could hardly buy. The Herald, therefore, compliments the Colonials or, their splendid record and would not forget the group of avid and persistent baseball fans who made it possible for Edenton to enjoy baseball this season. I Even the smartest individual has much to learn and the sooner they realize it, the smarter they will be.

C- THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 1952. —mmmtmmmmmmum |B Heard & Seen By “Buff” - Baseball fans sometimes do a lot of arguing and com ing, but withall they have a heart, too. (At Saturday night's final game of the championship series Mr. and Mrs. Baseball fan dug down in their jeans to the time of |175, which was given to Boas Horton, popular Colonial shortstop. Ross was forced to undergo an operation for appendicitis earlier in the season and was a little too anxious to get back on the baseball diamond, so he had to go back to the hospital, thus incurring a good-sized hospital hill. The collection was taken to help him square off his hospital bill and, to say the least, lie was greatly appreciative for the help. But even at that, here’s one who regrets that some recognition has not been given Manager Gashouse Parker. Gashouse, from what I un derstand, wasn’t even asked to play with the Colonials at the outset of the season. Things weren’t going so well with the Colonials and fans continued to daimor for Gas house, who went to (Florida. He was contacted and ask ed to return to Edenton to manage the Colonials, prhich he did. The rest of the story is now history. (He, with the help of a capable and hustling group of players, finished third in the regular season. They trimmed Wil son four straight games in the semi-finals playoff and came back to win the Coastal Plain (League champion ship by defeating Goldsboro four out of five games play ed. The Colonials appeared to be a different team alto gether after Gashouse took over the reins. They have played wonderful baseball and Manager Parker’s in fluence and directing surely had a great deal to do with Edenton winning the championship. The Colonials, and' Manager Parker in particular, deserve some sort of rec ognition, if some fans and baseball officials like him or not. o— ■ Bill Harry, president of the Edenton Rotary Club, at Thursday’s meeting appointed a committee which he caiA ed “How to Raise Money Committee.” I’m not on 'the committee, but I’m going to keep both eyes and both ears open to try to find out a good way to do it. On Tuesday morning it appeared as though the Bank of Edenton was running over with money. Nathan Dail had some business to transact in, the bank and as he started in, he found a dollar bill on the steps. Nope, he’s not advertising for the owner, for the chances are he’d hear from too bloomin' many who lost a greenback. o Here’s one who helped make up the crowd at Friday night’s football game. It’s not because the Aces lost, ' but it was one of the most uninteresting games I’ve ever seen. Why? Well, just because Bus Wozelka wasn’t on the talking end of a loud speaker to let folks know what was going on. A very favorable addition, though, is the clock which was rigged up by Master Mind Izzy Cam pen. The clock adds a lot to the game, but for gosh sakes, let’s have the loud speaker going at future games, even if fans do not have much of an opportunity to sit down since the old bleachers were removed. In an effort to let parents know just what sort of meals are being served at the Junior-Senior High school cafeteria, Mrs. Paul Holoman, manager, this week fur nishd the menu for the week beginning Monday, Septem ber 22: Monday—Franks, Pork and Beans, Slaw (cabbage-car rots), Weiner Rolls, Milk, Cookies.

Hunt Parker adjourned the September term of Chowan Su perior Court shortly before noon Thursday of last week. The criminal docket was completed Tuesday, with all cases cleaned up. Judge Parker saw fit to comment that it was one of the very few times since he has served on the bench that not a single ' case remained on the criminal doc ket awaiting trial. The same cannot be said of the | civil cases, however. According to Clerk of Court E. W. Spires some . 50 civil cases are awaiting trial, but not a single one was disposed of at this term of court. After completing the criminal cases j on Tuesday, the attention of the court 'was directed to a case transferred to '.Chowan County from Currituck Coun ty. Principals in the case were Cap tain and Mra. Walter Bhindell of Barco. Mrs. Blundell charged her husband with a crime against na ture. The case lasted all day Wednes day and on Thursday morning, after deliberating only ten minutes, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Following the jury’s verdict Judge Parker adjourned the term of court. BEAM Kentucky Whiskey A BLEND B 66 JM PROOF jVffSjk Mufrol mtslrOe otailiSjicS. Cltrmont.
