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

sideration should be given to lowering the
age distinction between a juvenile and an

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.

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.
