Walter Jones praised the women for ohlding the re-enactment in support of the N. C. Heart Association's public education campaign* and cited Edenton as “one of the cradles of an idea—a wish and hope of mankind given voice—which changed the world.’’ “It is not simple to imag ine that the soft-spoken de fiance of fifty-one women in an obscure colonial town could shake and enrage the nonarch of the mighiest em pire on earth.

Those volunteers among us who struggle with the causes and cures of heart disease struggle with an enemy whose lack of drama makes it doubly hard to arouse its potential victims to their mortal peril,” Bowles said. To emphasize the gravity of the problem, Bowles sug gested to the crowd: “Look at the person io your left; now at the person to your right, or at any two people in this crowd, includ ing me. One of the people you looked at will ultimately die of some disease of the heart or the blood vessels.” The event was climaxed by the performance of one of America’s oldest and oddest New Year’s observances, the filing of the guns by the 200-year-old New Year’s Day Shooters, a group from Cherryville, who recite ar. ancient chant and shoot anci ent flintlock muskets as an omen of good luck for the New Year.
