No Reason For Gloom
Though it was a hard game to lose. Coach
Bill Billings’ Edenton Aces were eliminated
from the State Class A football championship
race Friday night in Greenville when they lost
to Cary by a score of 15-12. thereby losing the
Region 1 -Championship and the privilege of
playing for the eastern crown.
The Edenton boys started off like the cham
pionship calibre which they displayed most of
the season. However, a mysterious change
took place shortly after scoring two touch
downs early in the first quarter, so that the
team failed to click and. of course, were defeat
ed by a team considered less capable.
The loss stunned not only Coach Billings and
members of the Aces' squad, but many fans as
well. There were several close and question
able plays called by officials and after the game
rumors went the rounds that Coach Killings
protested the game and even that the game will
be replayed. However, none of these rumors
had any foundation of fact.
As a matter of fact, the game has been
played anti the Aces lost. The show is over for
this season. Though the Aces lost the reg
ional championship, they and fans have just
reason to be proud of this year’s record. Los
ing practically the entire 1954 championship
squad by graduation, the outlook at the be
ginning of the season was anything but bright.
Coach Billings had to work with boys Who were
light in weight and for the most part inexperi
enced. but despite this handicap, a team was
developed which defeated all Albemarle Con
ference foes and the only two defeats of the
regular season were at the hands of Class AA
schools. Roanoke Rapids and Elizabeth City.
The Aces, with hopes of another chance at
the state championship as the season progress
ed, lost out,-which is nothing to be ashamed of.
Had they won. there would have been much
rejoicing, but in defeat true sportsmanship has
an even better opportunity to manifest itself.
The Aces form a creditable team and they are
big enough to take their defeat on the chin as
they would have been to celebrate a regional
victory or even the state crown. They' have
hung up their uniforms for the season and can
reflect, back upon a season of fair play and
good sportsmanship which netted them a just
share of victories. The boys have been bene
fited physically and the heart-breaking loss
Friday night to Cary should tend to impress
upon the boys that in the pathway of life vic
tories and joy are bound to be mingled with
defeats and sorrow. The hitter necessarily
goes with the sweet, and they will be called
upon to face both at one time or another.
It was a very successful season for the Aces
and with the experience gained, prospects
should appear even brighter next season.
Buy Christmas Seals
H With the 1955 Christmas Seal Sale now un
der way, it is well to point out that the active
interest and support of the people of North
Carolina in the fight against tuberculosis today
is needed to help win tomorrow’s battle. The
current year marks the 50th anniversary of the
North Carolina Tuberculosis Association in its
crusade to control and ultimately eradicate TB.
There is a danger of becoming too compla
cent as we note progress made in past years,
but TB still remains the number one com
municable disease problem in the state.

B] By “Burr”
Mrs. H. T. Miller, Jr., of Suffolk, historian
of the Virginia Society of the Colonial Dames
of the XVII Century, recently wrote an article
having to do with her impressions of Edenton
on a recent visit. The article appeared in The
Herald and a number of copies were sent to her
which caused her to write the following letter:
"Dear Mr. Bufflap: The November 10th
editions of your fine paper were received in
good order and. please believe me, I scanned
every column with keen enjoyment. 1 wish to
thank you, especially, for your kindness in giv
ing my little article on Edenton so much space.
It is a distinct thrill to make the front page of
a newspaper and I appreciate this courtesy
more than I can tell you. \our paper, at this
very mament, is doing quite a bit of traveling.
I have many relatives scattered over the coun
try—Oklahoma, New England. Florida, Wash
ington, Tennessee —with whom I wished to
share my pleasure and interest in Edenton and
her people, and The Chowan Herald will find
a cordial welcome from them all.”
Durward Travis saw to it that I had a cigar
to smoke Monday afternoon. Durward on No
vember 15 became the daddy of a daughter,
so that he finally got around to passing out
cigars. He's been married a long time, so that
he's had plenty of time to save up to buy cig
ars. Anyway, tanks and congratulations.

To say the least, it was a large crowd of dis
appointed and sick-looking folks who came
back from Greenville Friday night, where the
Edenton Aces lost the Region 1 Championship
to Cary by a score of 13-12. Doc Downum
and I bought a cap especially for the game
and the more I think about it. the more I be
lieve the bloomin’ caps were a jinx. At any
rate, the game was rebroadcast Sunday after
noon and at least one lady was disappointed.
Mrs. Myda Taylor said she listened to the
game and much to her disappointemnt, the
score wound up the same as it was in Green
ville Friday night. She was hoping maybe the
Aces would score another touchdown on the
rebroadcast. And me. too!

Uncle Sam has greatly improved the appear
ance of the mail boxes in Edenton. The box
es. for a long time painted a dirty color of
green, now sport coats of bright red and blue
paint with white letters. It is a big improve
ment and makes the boxes more attractive and
easier to see.

Herbert Baker and C. D. Sawyer made an
apology to me which was uncalled for. They
attended the conferring of Scottish Rites de
grees at New Bern last week and in the gallery'
they spotted a guy fast asleep. "That’s Buff
up there.” said Herbert. "It sure is,” replied
Sawyer. But later they discovered it was not
me, so they apologized, for I had my nose to
the grindstone instead of being at New Bern.
For Pete sake, just because a fellow doz.es a
little in church is no reason to think he’s asleep
all the time. And speaking about the Scottish
Rite degrees, some time back Mrs. J. G- Cam
pen was told that the exemplification of the
Scottish Rite work makes for a better man,
Later on she said to her son, “Allison. I thought
the Scottish Rite degrees should make a better
man out of you.” Izzy hesitated a little while
and then replied, “Well, they do, mama, spirit
ually but not physically.”

Apparently I’m trying to put Patrolman
Tommie Canipe in the wrong neighborhood.
In a story last week about Mrs. Canipe coming
to Edenton from Weldon. I said they are liv
ing at 106 East Albemarle Street. As a mat
ter of fact, they are living at 106 East Carteret
Street, quite a difference in the neighborhoods.

Some of the football fiJhs should take a few
lessons in spelling. On the Aces’ football sched
ule hanging in Leggett & Davis Drug Store
somebody printed the score of each game as
it was played. Os course, Murfreesboro was
not on the schedule, so on the bottom was
written, “We beat Murphyiesburro 33 to 6. Os
course, I didn’t see what was written about the
Cary game, but they might have written “So
solly.”
older age group, both from the standpoint of
cases and deaths.
With the active interest and support of the
people of North Carolina in fighting TB we can
look with confidence to the future when TB
will be ultimately eradicated.
“With this objective constantly in mind,”
says Mps. J. A. Moore, county chairman, “I
earnestly hope that the people in Chowan
County will help us celebrate the 50th anni
versary by buying more Christmas Seals than
ever before. When you buy Christmas Seals,
you are attacking the TB problem at all levels.
No home is # safe from TB until all homes are
safe.” _ i

PRAISES USO
The Chowan Herald:
I would like to take this oppor
tunity to publicly commend Mrs.
R. P. Badham for the splendid
work that she has been doing and
is still doing for the United Ser
vice Organization here in Edenton.
The service personnel at the lo
cal air station arc in the service
of their country and we all realize
that they would prefer to bp in
their own hom e town. It is the
duty of the citizens of Edenton to
assist Mrs. Badham in every way
possible to make these boys feel
at home.
During the last war a large num
ber of service men were invited to
the homes of residents of Edenton
every Sunday for dinner. Although
we are not at war now, these boys
are here not of their own choice,
but to serve their country and I am
sure that they would appreciate be
ing invited by our citizens for a
Thanksgiving or a Christmas din
ner.
Our town benefits a great deal
from the presence of an air sta
tion here at Edenton and we should
show bur appreciation to the per
sonnel stationed here by providing
assistance at the USO and inviting
the boys into our homes.
Yours very truly,
ERNEST P. KKHAYES,
Mayor of Edenton.
