MY SON: EDWARD ZIMMERMAN
If anyone noticed an un
kempt young man wander
ing about Edenton over the
past two weeks, it was me.
While enjoying my first
real vacation in two years
of the daily clean-shaven
shirt - and - tie regimen, I
have wasted as little time
as possible on the niceties
of civilization. One doesn’t
need a shave to doze in the
sun, or a fancy get-up to
go fishing.
In the “grass is always
greener . . ” category, it
is hard for me to imagine
where Edentonians would
go for their vacation, con
sidering the amenities of
this town and countryside.
My wife and I are always
trying to get Englishmen
to visit friendly places like
Edenton when they come
to America, instead of tour
ist traps like New York, a
city so untypical of our
country (and mind you,
I’ve lived there). But the
average European either
doesn’t understand or is
intimidated by the very
size of our country. Con
sider the fact that England
proper is smaller than
North Carolina.
The more places Geri
and I visit, the more we
realize “there’s no place
like home.” In spite of
the social upheavals that
are getting so much press
coverage these days, Am
erica is still the greatest
country in the world. This
is certainly exemplified by
the wealth of history and
period architectures in
Edenton, but we are even
more impressed by the
people.
Buff took me to the Ro
tary Club meeting last
week, where I was de
lighted to meet several of
the leading Edenton busi
nessmen. |A scrumptuous
barbecued chicken lunch
was xgaflawed by a lively
discussion of the North
Carolina Fund. It was en
couraging to hear such a
wide divergence of opin
ions expressed on the sub
ject.
We haven’t had the good
fortune of knowing Buff
nearly as long as most of
the readers of this paper,

“The Lilliston 1500 Peanut Combine is, quiet-running and
will pick under any conditions. It doesn't make any differ*
ence what they are, it sure will get the peanuts off the vine.
The 1500 has good speed, too. It leaves the vines just right
for baling."
"Most dependable Combine
I've ever seen."

. but I can’t help volunteer
■ ing another (albeit johnny
s ccme-lately) comment, in
. the form of an excerpt
; from a conversation with
i Ernest Kehayes. “It’s too
, bad Buff doesn’t have a
; mean streak in him,’’ I
■ said.
“What kind of a thing to
say is that?” exclaimed
Ernest.
"If he did, then I could
describe him to my friends
in England,” I explained,
“because when I tell them
what a completely good
person he is, they don’t
believe me.”
Fascinated by the luxuri
ous grass in front of the
Tower of London, an Am
erican tourist asked one of
the “Beefeater” guards how
the English gardeners got
it started. “Elementary,”
he explained. “They plant
ed the seed, then rolled,
watered and cut it regu
larly.”
The American complain
ed, “My father and I have
been tending our front
lawn just like that ever
since I can remember, and
it’s nowhere near as nice
as this. How long have
they been tending this
grass?”
The Beefeater sniffed, I
“Nine hundred years.”

WINTER STORM TODAY
A winter storm
Came this mom’.
Lifting brown leaves
To unannounced heights, I
Then beating them down j
With wet kisses.
I saw new streams
Branch out anew,
11
Flooding ditches, and I
Finally, into the swamp. I
Soon the storm blew on- I
ward
To a new winter mom’. I

As a man grows older it I
is harder and harder to I
frighten him. I
