What The Daughters Os
American Revolution Ho
From the beginning of tbe organ
ization of the Daughters of the|
American Revolution in 1890, thi ■ ■
major objectives hav e been con-1
stantly stressed, with remarkable
achievements along all lines of hi - i
torical appreciation, viewing the.
past as an incentive for
patriotic endeavor, emphasizing]
better eitizenslii)) in tbe present;
and educational training, teaching
young people to tak,. responsibb
roles in our Constitutional Repub
lic and to appreciate and value the
ideals on which it was founded and
which havv made ours the greatest
nation on earth.
Committees are set up to more
efficiently carry on the numerous
and varied works of the D A R.
The committee on Americanism
and the D.A.R. Manual for Citi
zenship includes providing an edu
cation for aliens as well as native
born people.
Foreign-bom arc encouraged to
attend night schools and American
ization schools. Attendanc,, at the
classes enables them to become
citizens of our country: citizens
who are able to read, write and 1
speak English. This committe. al
so works with the youth by spon
soring playgrounds and youth cm-j
ters, assisting in settlement hous-,
es, dental and medical clinics, and
day’ nurseries; giving aid to youth!
under Welfare Departments, ci>:
operation with authorities to stamp j
out the teen-age drug addiction 1
problem, juvenile delinquency and
automobile accidents among ont
youth. Members of the D.A.R. give
many hours of work and contribu
tions to make a happier life for
the deaf, the Mind, the crippled and '
the mentally ill.
An outstanding work of the so-.
ciety is the educational program
conducted through the thirteen
schools and colleges endorsed by
this society. To qualify for the ap
proved school list “a school must
be definitely for underprivileged
boys and girls who otherwise would
not have an opportunity for educa
tion; or for the Americanization of
foreign-bom students or students
of foreign parentage.”
Two of the schools, Kate Duncan
Smith in Alabama, and Tamasseo in
South Carolina, were founded by
and are completely dependent Upon
the Society for support. These
two schools are in districts where
there are no other educational ad
vantages available. The other
eleven schools are not entirely de
pendent upon the D.A.R. for sup
port, but receive assistance in car
rying on their educational pro
grams.
The Conservation committee is
one of the most important in the
Society. The present program
stresses: (1) The interdependence
of soil, water, forests and wildlife;
(2) The understanding and appre
ciation of Conservation methods in
all of these fields; (3) The local as
well as national use and protec
tion of all of our natural resources.
A large tree-planting program has
always been an important work of
this committee. Many forests have
been purchased and maintained by
the D.A.R. Road beautification
and bird sanctuaries are given par
ticular attention.
The D.A.R. Good Citizens Com
mittee’s goal is to create an appre
ciation in young people of charac
ter building as a basis of good citi
zenship. Each year girls are cho
sen on the qualities of dependabili
ty, service, leadership and patrio
tism from the Senior Gass of ac
credited public high schools. From
these firis * girl is selected who '
becomes the Good Citizen of her
school
The D-A.R. Student Loan Fund
was created to aid deserving stu
d mts desiring a higher education.
Thousands of young men and wo
men have been assisted by these
funds who would not have been
able to complete their education
without this assistance. Each]
State Society administers its own j
fund, which has been established
by contributions front its member; j

pointed out that a large numlier of j

i Edenton Aces And
Hertford Play Friday
] (Continued from Page One) i
; this year, its peak performance]
1 just might be enough to spoil,
| Kdenton’s title hopes, A look at
j the record discloses four losses andj
lone tie —-hut none of the losses are
•by big margins. Hertford has,
- bowed to Churehland. Ya., 27-6, in!
' the season's opener, 13-6 to power,
i ful Ahoskie, fell to Tarhoro and
l'lymouth by 19-7 and 6-0 scores,
j respectively, while tying William
! .-ton in its last outing, 7-7.
Coach Hillings points to Hert
ford’s showing against Ahoskie,
Plymouth and Williamston as evi
dence to th,- fact that Hertford will
1 bring more than just team spirit to ;
town tomorrow night. Ahoskie is I
i still undefeated in CLiss A play. |
and is just as much in the running 1
tor this year’s title as the Aces
it-,. Ahoskie's one-touchdown vie-1
| tory "V i- Hertford gives credit tol
! the idea that Hertford has some
! talent.
Young Tommy Matthews is ex
pected to lead Hertford into the
duel with Edenton. Matthews, rat
'd one of the best hacks in Easterlf
North Carolina despite his team’s
poor tv cord, plays left halfback in
"T" formation plays, and switches
t" the team-running tailback slot
' for single wing plays.
A I broken Held runner. Mat
thews is supported by Quarterback
‘Charles Whcdbee. right Halfback
Stan Pierce and Fullback Paul
Wood. <>t\ hand to haul in his pass
j,-- are Ends Hilly Kray and Mel
Williams.
The trio of injured Edenton
players leaves Coach Hillings in
(somewhat of a crack in the all-im
portant quarterback slot for the
contest. Holland, an almost sure
dl-state choice, picked up a bad I
! “charley-horse” in last week’s 27-0)
victory over Tarhoro. Kramer, aj
regular end, who plays second ]
quarterback t" Holland, isn’t slated
j to see action at all tomorrow night
! because of a leg injury. Downum,
j hurt earlier in the season, re-injur- 1
ed his shoulder against Tarhoro, j
and isn’t expected to play, lie had
been counted on as the team’s third
quarterback.
Holland is expected to bp in the
game, hut the leg injury might
take a little of the lustre off his
performance. The slender slinger
will probably start in a brickfield
filled out by Halfbacks Tommy I
: Bass and Hilly Hunch and Fullback
Chan Wilson.
Kdenton’s record now stands at
four victories and two defeats. The
] two losses came at th,. hands of
j Roanoke Rapids..and Elizabeth City,
a pair of Class A A opponents, in
games that didn't affect the Aces’
Class A standing. Edenton has
j whipped Williamston. Beaufort and
- Tarhoro in the Class A ranks and
] Great Bridge. Va. I
I The rivalry between Hertford andj
| Edenton dates hack to 1926. Hert-!
ford holds the edge, but has seen]
it dvvimlle to a two.game margin
in recent years. Hertford has Won
13, while Edenton has won 11 and;
three hav*. ~tided in ties. The Aces i
would like very . much to trull to j
within one game of their long-time j
foes, hut Hertford is just as an-,
j xious to hang on t" its slim lead.
At any rate. Coach Ik,- Perry’s
I Hertford team should come to
I Edenton just about its carefree as
Ia tetim can he. while the pressure!

' ing to mount on Couch Billings’
' Aces, A crowd approaching the
throng that witnessed the Eliza
beth City contest is expected to
see if the Aces can make it into
their final two games with a chance
( to repeat.
Coach Billings, looking back at
last week's 27-0 victory over Tar-
I boro, said that he thought his team
j played a “very good hall game.”
He praised the tough little Tarhoro
team,- stating that "we feel that
We did a good job, heating them by
four touchdowns. They have a
pood team there; they have improv
. ,! a lot since the beginning of the
, enson.”
He was pleased in particular
with the play of Holland, who
threw three touchdown passes, and
| alert tackle, Wayne Keeter, who
j pounced on two Tarhoro fumbles.
' Coach Billings said that “they are
| two of the best hoys I ever coach
ed. Holland has loads of ability, j
and Keeter is a good, smart hoy.:
i He's a real leader.”
Following the Hertford game.
; Edenton will turn to contests with
Ahoskie—the final home of the
regular season in Edenton—and
Plymouth. Wins in both are nee
essary if Edenton is to retain the
State title.
He just before you are generous.
