THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 2. 1961. i jj* 7 Tift tor today The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.— Psalms 144:18. Our Father is always seeking us—so let us operiv the door of our hearts and welcome him. We thank Thee, our Heavenly Father, that Thou art gracious and full of compassion; slow to ancer, and of great 7 Worth The Effort Edenton has experienced another very suc cessful Halloween party for the children of j the community, thanks to the Edenton \\ o- j man’s Club, sponsor of the project, and in j far greater degree to H. A. (Izzy) Campen. But for the interest, talent and hard work on the part of Mr. Campen. the annual Hallo ween partv would be far from what it has been over a period of about 10 years. In fact, the community Halloween party is the outgrowth of a party Mr. Campen held in his back yard for his own children 10 years ago. That party was so unique and attracted so much attention among Edentonian*. and especially the women, that it was decided to sfege it on a community basis, so that the Woman’s Club adopted it as an annual pro ject. So well received has been the party : that little trouble is encountered in securing the necessary funds and various items need ed to entertain the children and -furnish re freshments. Merchants, business concerns, as j well as individuals, have no hesitancy in mak- j ing what contributions are necessary. Be sides, the Woman’s Club each year meets with the best kind of cooperation in staging the party, which requires a_ great deal of , planning and help while the party is in pro- j gress. The Jaycees each year pitch in and j help with the parade and perform a number I of other duties, and the same can be said about other organizations and individuals. Children by the hundreds look forward to and enjoy this annual affair, not to mention the pleasure derived by parents and adult friends. Not only does this Halloween party pro vide fun and wholesome entertainment, but far more important the parties over the years have practically eliminated vandalism and destruction of property. Time was when no small amount of damage has been done by youngsters on Halloween night, so that citi zens more or less dreaded to see the observ ance arrive. The party has had the effect of diverting the desire for mischief on the part of youngsters, so that in itself is well worth the efforts put into staging the annual event. This year's party was again very success ful and with ideal weather prevailing, children and adults as well turned out in great num bers. The Woman’s Club and Izzy Campen in particular are to be commended for the part they played in staging this party and for see ing to it that it has been held every year since it was started about 10 years ago. Glad To Come Back A letter from Charles L. McCullers, former resident of Edenton and guest speaker at the Edenton Chamber of Commerce banquet on October 24th, to Joe Conger, Jr., Chamber . president, has expressed his gratitude on be ing able to meet so many of his old friends again on that occasion and “to be invited j ‘back home’ to Edenton where I spent my happiest years.” “McCullers’ banquet speech was an elo quent one. I thought,” Conger said, “and I aim in solid agreement with his statement that no community can be called a good com munity by coasting along paying taxes and enforcing the laws, but rather by the service of its people, who of their own free will, con tribute also of their time and talents to im prove the community. rtl “A Chamber of Commerce.” Conger add ed- “is the one organization in a community into which these energies of >- volunteer man power can be channelled to get results and to produce the most progress for the com munity.” There are people in the world who judge every individual by the size of his or her bank account. - t %• ■ ' .' • * j 3 , ,1 l,abor saving do no good unless The time saved is wisely utilized fdeard Os Seen By Buff Just about the happiest town in this neck, of the woods Friday night was Ahoskie. for after trying for seven years the Ahoskie In dians came off the football field with the long end of the score—l 3-7. It was, how ever, more or less sort of a present, for the Aces scored a touchdown when Carroll Fore hand sent the Edenton fans wild with a thrill ing 79-vard punt return, which would have tied the score and probably with an extra point would have won the game. The play . was nullified because the Aces happened to have 12 men on the field—.a big, big break | for the Indians. However, even if the Aces t did lose, it was a splendid game, so that no body had any reason to bellyache because they didn’t get their money’s worth. o And speaking about the football game, it provided some Ahoskie fans an opportunity to “present” a “trophy” which must have been in waiting long before the game, most likely last year or even before. When Mrs. Graham Robbins opened The Betty Shoppe Saturday morning she found placed on the cash register a very neat coffin, for which great pains must have been taken to make. Inside the coffin, neatly arranged, were small football boys representing the Edenfton Aces with Coach Bill Billings at the head. The “corpse” was neatly covered with lace and on the inside cover was this message: There is little one can say And little one can do Except to express the heartfelt wish That comfort be granted you. Os course, the six employees at The Betty Shoppe were expected to be “pallbearers,” but they were too het up to perform that job Saturday morning. Anyway, it was a very unique stunt to give vent to the joy in de feating the Aces. Then. too. I’ve been told that a "graveyard” was rigged up in Ahoskie with a grave left vacant to bury the Aces. o The Methodist Men’s Club will serve a pickled herring breakfast at the church Sat urday morning, November 4. from 7 to 9 o’clock. The boys will charge a buck with the provision that anyone attending may eat all they want. They better be careful on that count if they expect to make any money, for I’m told there are some really big pickled i herring eaters around Edenton. o Now I feel a little better. Mrs. Ed Bond : came to The Herald office Tuesday after- | noon. She had just been in the office of Gilliam Wood over at the Home Feed & Fer tilizer Company. “I told Gilliam,” said Mrs. Bond, "that his desk looks just about like Bufflap's at The Chowan Herald.” But she sort of came to Gilliam’s defense bv saying that he was making some changes in his office.— o Fishing has been very good lately and fish ermen from many places are coming here to try their luck. The rock fish fishermen have been doing very well out in the Sound and among them is H. Z. Moyers, who stopped by the office to show me nice catches. But here’s one who likes to watch the cork bobble and it hobbled quite a few times Sat urday afternoon. ' o Edenton Aces, thanks to Mayor John Mitchener. went to Baltimore Sunday to see the Baltimore Colts, and Chicago Bears play. Quite a few other Edentonians also made the trip for the game and though, thanks to Nick George. I had two tickets, I could not make the trip. The whole crowd thoroughly enjoyed the game, in which Bill George, Nick’s brother, played with the Bears. Incidentally, the Sunday’s Baltimore Sun had this, in part, to sav about Bill George: “Bill George leads the 'onslaught in haras sing quarterbacks. It’s a little harder to find George for he lines up anywhere from one end to the other. He’s quick and he’s strong and even though the program usually lists him as weighing 235 pounds, the men who trv to block him will tell you he goes close to 250. George is a smart tackier and best all around defensive performer, and as such is in the best position to be in the thick of every thing. George just lines up where he thinks the play is most likely to go. George is one of the most interesting players in the league. Last year, before the Colt-Bear game the Bal timore coaches cataloged the big linebacker’s moves and wound up with charts on 84 dif ferent variations of his. defensive play. If you wanted to count them they were there— -84 spots where you might find one Bill George, No. 61, during any one Colt play. George swears, without a trace, of a smile on his face, that he learned his first linebacking from a magazine article. He had been a*. THE CHOWAN HEN ALP, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY.

I Tobacco Survey * Is Being Meld In 'Chowan County A tobacco variety performance survey is being* conducted in Chowan County to determine 1 how various varieties compared ! in yield and value during 1961! on tobacco farms. As many farmers as are being contacted so that the information gathered will rep resent a sizeable portion of the tobacco grown in the county. Growers are being asked what total yield and value they re ceived from £ach Variety grown ‘ in 1961. Cards are being sent to a representative group of grow ers in the county and the growers who receive cards are urged to fill out the card ac* curately and return it to the county agent’s office. Every-, one who receives a card should send it in regardless of whether his yield is low, medium or high. This is essential if the summary of the variety data' is to represent the actual perform ance of a given variety in the county and state. This informant n is also be ing accumulated by other coun ties, and a summary of the county, belt and state results will be available for growers to! see as soon as it has been sum marized.
