A LIFT FOR TODAY . . . Abraham believed God . . . and he was called the Friend of God —James 2:23. To love and serve God with all our powers— Yfith all our heart and soul, and mind' and strength; as ourselves to love our neighbor, this is Christianity—only this can bear the test. — Van Dyke. O God, we would be obedient unto Thee that too. might be called Thy Friend. Putting: Best Foot Forward Edenton merchants will observe a big Trade Fair starting today and running through Saturday as the result of whfch they hope to attract many friends and shoppers to Edenton. The Fair has been widely pub licized with 10,000 circulars distributed in the Edenton trading area. The cooperating merchants have arrang ed attractive booths in the Edenton armory which will be open at 1 o’clock this (Thurs day) afternoon and are also offering many bargains in connection with the event. Ac cording to W. J. P. Earnhardt, I rade hair general chairman, the visitors will be num bered in the thousands, so that the merchants and members of the Chamber of Commerce, sponsors of the Fair, will put their best foot forward to win new customers. So that the affair will be further enjoyable, somp first rate entertainment will be provid ed. This will include The Ink Spots, na tionally known Negro entertainers; a beauty pageant; a fashion show; numbers by the choral group of John A. Holmes High | School; Chowan High School Jay Jacks: John A. Holmes High School Band and a seven piece combo under the direction of Band Di rector James Cozart. Another feature of the Fair will be draw ings for prizes which will be offered by vari ous Edenton merchants. "Members of the various committees have worked hard in making the necessary ar rangements for the Fair, so that it is hoped many people in Edenton and Chowan County and adjoining counties will visit and enjoy the affair. Great Loss To Edenton It is regretted that William D. (Bill) Bill ings has tendered his resignation as a mem ber of the John A. Holmes High School fac ulty. which means that the school and Edeft ton will lose just about the best football coach Edenton has ever had. He will leave Edenton at the.close of the present school year to accept a more lucrative position in Middleton, Delaware, where he will be head football and basketball coach at a million and a half dollar school plant with an en rollment of about 800 students and a mag nificent athletic setup. Coach Billings will leave Edenton with an enviable record, one which any future coach will have a difficult time to equal. His rec ord includes 76 victories, three ties and 14 defeats, most of which were at the hands of larger and stronger non-conference teams. His Aces won four state championships dur ing his eight years of coaching at Edenton. They won seven consecutive championships in the Albemarle Conference. Coach Billings had the ability to bring out the best in the boys who trained under him. and a number of times the prospects seemed gloomy for a winning team, but by the time his teams were ready for action, they were developed into a rugged football machine much to be dreaded by their opponents. / It was Coach Billings who did most to make Edenton football conscious and due to the winning ways of his teams, he enjoy ed the wholehearted support of Edenton as a whole and football enthusiasts in particular. Coach Billings’ football teams and the rep utation they earned did as much as any thing to put Edenton on the map. The pub licity he gained for Edenton has been very valuable and resulted in more favorable pub licity than money could buy. In one instance a tourist made the remark at a filling station, “This is the town where they have such good football teams.” > . Coach Billings regrets to leave Edenton, but he cannot be blamed for bettering him self in his new position. Edenton people gen erally, too, regret to see him leqve and in his departure wish for him an equal amount of success as he has enjoyed in Edenton. With Us leaving Edenton football lans are \tteard & Se*n It looks as though some people are in for some extra trouble. Because certain people failed to list their property for taxation dur ing the month of January, the County Com missioners on Monday passed a motion that all non-tax listers be turned over to the Grand Jury. Now, if they still fail to list their property as required by law, they will have an opportunity tp “tell it to the judge.” o Last week I had an item in this column regarding “The Indispensable Man.” Again scheduled! to enter upon the sen of matrimony tonight (Thursday), plsns caH for a wedding trip and a number of my friends very graci ously offered their services to accompany the bride-to-be arifd myself as driver of the car. Well, that’s one person who is absolutely dispensable. Maybe when I come back I’ll need some help, but not on a wedding trip. Anyway, here’s thanking so many of my friends for their kifcd remarks prior to the wedding and their wishes for a happy and contented married life* o- Judge Henry Stevens hit the nail on the head in a statement Tuesiday morning when considering sentencing a defendant in Su perior Court. He withheld a prison sentence because the fellow had three children and his wife was expecting another. “If I send you to prison.” said the judge, “the county’s tax payers will have to foot the ball for caring for these children. Taxpayers are sick and tired of paying so much money for earing for children whose bread-winner is serving time, together with so many bastards, and I don’t blame them.” And he’s so right! o It will be noted that in an advertisement in The Herald this week, as well as a story on the front page that the April meeting of Town Council and a public hearing has been postponed from Tuesday night, April 10. to Wednesday night, April 11. The public heat ing is to hear any opposition to a proposed extension of the Edenton lire district and adoption of a fire prevention code. The rea son for the postponement is that Mayor John Mitchener will be attending a convention of the North Carolina Pharmaceutical Associa tion at the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel in Ra- I leigh. At the convention Mayor Mitchener will be inducted into the North Carolina Academy of Pharmacy. Another reason for the postponement is that yours truly, Mayor, protem, will also be out of town—not for a convention (although he’s supposed to be at the Eastern North Carolina Press meet ing gt Goldsboro April 6 and 7) —but will instead be on a honeymoon with a new bride, so that he will be inducted into the Order of Benedicts. o Business is not so brisk with Lyn Byrum, Chairman of the Chowan Couittjr Bogrd of Factions. COirijiardtively wave" tiled with him as candidates in the May Demo cratic primary election. Mr. Byrum empha sizes the fact that the deadline to file as a candidate and have names printed on the bal lots is Friday, April 13, at 12 o’clock noon. And again, he says, that means 12 o’clock and not a minute or two later. o Dr. and Mrs. Richard Hardin and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Thorud last week flew to Florida in Dr. Hardin’s plane. They visited Dr. and Mrs. L. F. Ferguson at Venice, Florida, and had a very enjoyable visit, for the Fergusons were very glad to again see and talk with some Edenton friends. Incidentally, Dr. and Mrs. Ferguson are avid readers of The Herald, and told the Edenton group about Edenton news which was news to them. “Well, we read it in The Herald,” the Fer gusons said. The Fergusons also said they will be verv bmpy if any Edenton people who go to Florida will pay them a,visit. o With a term of Chowan Superior Court in session Monday morning, the County Com missioners were shoved out of their regular meeting place. They met, instead, in the Tax Supervisor’s office in Hotel Joseph Hewes, but despite the change of “scenery,” they . finished up their work before the noon hour. o Some of the boys have been catching a few • speckled perch, but the weather man just hasn’t come up wilh the sort of weather to put the fish in a biting mood or else they just ain’t there. Like a lot of other guys, here’s one who’s itching to try ’em out. hopeful that another coach wiH be secured who will be able to keep the Aces in the front ranks in the gridiron struggles in the future. The Herald joins Coach Billings’ many friends in expressing regret that he will be leaving and extends- the wish for his con tinued success on the foo itbaH field, and that he will go even higher m the coaching pro fession. mbme aw Miptt a ffAATR CASOL2NA< THURSDAY* APRIL S District Mettm Os Women’s Clubs In Edenton April 7th The Northeastern District Federation of Women’s Clubs will convene Saturday, April 7, at the Providence Baptist Church in Edenton at 10 A.
