' Peanut Festival Announcement is made this week that local business and community leaders will stage a peanut festival, scheduled to be ob served from November 19 tnrougn the 28th. j During the nine days two parades will be held, a Pean- 1 Festival Queen will be crown ed and many cash prizes will be awarded. During the celebration, too, many bargains will be offered by the cooperating merchants. Edenton has for many years missed out on staging an annual peanut festival. We see where manv other communities annually hold various kinds of festivals so that Edenton and Chowan County being so prominently identi fied with peanuts, has every reason to observe an annual peanut festival. It is remembered that Edenton some years ago staged a very successful peanut festival j when the affair attracted wide attention. Moving picture photographers were here for the event, as well as writers and other prominent visitors, so that it was a great day and a celebration which should have been observed every succeeding year, but it wasn’t. Those in the group interested in this year’s peanut festival are hopeful that it will be a success. The Herald, too, hopes it will be successful and that it might be the begin ning of an annual Edenton PeaniY. Festival. Just About One Way To Vote Members of Town Council and the Board of Public Works have already given serous consideration to a proposed bond issue calling for authority to call an election on a $557,000 bond issue. The bond election is more or less forced on Edenton in order to comply with the State Stream Sanitation Commis sion’s mandate that raw sewage must not be continued to be emptied into local waters. Much preliminary work has already been done but. of conrse, active work on con struction of a sewage disposal plant, lift sta tions and pipe lines cannot be begun until funds are available. The word is that if Edenton does not pro vide the funds to construct a sewage disposal system, then the state will step in, have a system installed and pass the cost on to the taxpayers of Edenton. It has been pointed out that if the latter course is pursued, the cost will be consider ably greater, so that every taxpayer in Eden ton should also give serious consideration to the forthcoming bond issue election. Bond issues are not very popular with a great many people, for all too many vote in favor of their pocketbook rather than pro gress or even necessity. Edenton’s situation at present is one of necessity, so that voters can ill afford to vote against the bond issue. The election, when it is held, will be another one in which every voter should take advant age of his privilege and in fact his duty to go to the polls and cast a ballot. The question to be decided is whether Edenton will provide funds to do the work and possibly share in federal aid, or allow the state to construct a sewage system at a higher cest and minus any chances at all of receiving any aid from the federal government. J. Edgar Hoover Says: “A valuable ally in Ihe fight against crime, the news media' of the nation can afford fur ther public service in focusing the spotlight of public opinion on those members of the judiciary who, in the face of the present cri sis, persist in endangering the public by un leashing young terrorists apprehended at great risk by law enforcement officers. “Parents who, through bad example, in difference, or lust for worldly gain, inflict upon their fellow men the scourge of vicious offspring deserve to feel the sting of public indignation and to face legal and financial re sponsibility for the criminal acts of their children. “At this time, when the increase in youth ful crimes constitutes the bulk of the shame jul rise in oar national crime, serious con sideration should be given to lowering the age distinction between a juvenile and an — , , JJeard Cf ■Seen j By Buff i . —— « Last week I said both Edenton and Plym outh football fans wvuld probably resemble a piece of souse. Well, they went me one better and resembled two pieces of souse, for all of 'em were more than nervous and some even almost frantic. One local fan told me he was through going to the games. “I don’t think I have heart trouble,” he said, “but another game like that and I know I’ll pass out.” Anyway, Plymouth fans had their day about two miniites from the end of the game when the Panthers scored what appeared to be the winning touchdown. Edenton fans, however, had two days when with only a few seconds remaining, Carrod Forehand crossed the goal line to tie the score and Bubba Hop kins set the crowd wild when he rammed through the line for the winning point. It was an exciting game, to say the least, and what’s even more commendable is that, de spite the importance of the game in deciding the Albemarle Conference Championship, it was about the cleanest game played this sea son. The Aces now go into the playoffs for j the State Class AA Championship. They rest | this week, but Friday night of next week they will be pitted against the strong Smith field aggregation to decide regional honors. The game will be played on the East Caro lina College gridiron in Greenville and, with favorable weather, Greenvi'le’s population for ‘ about two hours will be almost as much again I larger as Edenton’s population, for just about ' the whole town will be at the game. Here’s , hoping the Aces bring back the bacon. o Izzy Campcn toned up rather late at last week’s Masonic meeting, but Louis George Wilkins is a very cooperative secretary. “If you want an excuse. Izzy,” said Louis George, “I’ll mark you present.” o Charlie Overman was all diked out in a very loud necktie at last week’s Rotary | meeting. Col. Bill Rosevear wanted to know I if Charlie had already opened some of his > Christmas presents. The Rotarians have in time past given a prize for the loudest neck tie worn the first meeting after Christmas. ; Charlie, however, was a little ahead of time, but he’d no doubt have won the prize. Save it, Charlie! c The eighth grades of Edenton and Ply mouth schools played a scoreless tie game on Hicks Field Thursday afternoon of last week. The boys went to it for all they were worth and some of the youngsters looked like good material for future Edenton football teams. Jimmy Earnhardt at last week’s Rotary meeting won the free meal for guessing most nearly correct the football scores. Jimmy j said he was the first Rotarian to win a free meal when the football score guessing contest was started some years ago. “I don’t re member the right score I picked,” said Jimmy, “but I do remember that it was an upset.’ Bob Marsh was quick to remark, “Well, if it was an upset, the chances are that the Uni versity of North Carolina must have won.” • o Keith Reeve was the principal speaker at last week’s Rotary .meeting and in the course of his remarks said that four or five families ' will move to Edenton from Tyrone, Penn sylvania. in connection with the Seabrook Blanching Corporation. One of the Rotarians asked, “Are there any football players among them?” Mr. Reeve replied, “Well, yes, I have one. He’s only two years old, but he’ll be a football player.” o Town Councilmen again earned their pay Tuesday night, when they were held in ses sion until after midnight. Os course, they didn’t get too hungry, for Mayor John Mit chener had some cokes and nabs sent in the early part of the night. At any rate, one of the Councilmen pointed out that with such late meetings they % become sleepy and irrit able and cannot do justice to the important business at hand. The suggestion was made that meetings adjourn about 11 o’clock and if the town’s business is not completed, then they should be called back to another meet ing to finish the job. But that would only be another meeting added to the too darned many meetings a lot of us are already obliged to attend. Anyway, the way of a Town Councilman is not a bed of roses any way you look at it. o Julius Leary, a former Edenton boy, sent in his renewal for The Herald last week.
