Letter To The Editor
v
To the citizens of Eden
ton:
To express my thanks to
the citizens of Edenton is
difficult, not difficult
because of the lack of
friendliness, on the con
trary. I want to compliment
the citizenry of Edenton for
their expression of love
shown to the Amburn family
and Greer family after the
tragic death of Luke Am
burn.
Never have I seen or
heard or felt a warmness
such as the citizens of
Edenton expressed.
Just to mention a few of
the incidents 1 saw that
impressed me about your
town.
The respect shown to the
family by the police as the
funeral procession passed
through a intersection.
The cross-section of
people in attendance at
Luke’s funeral warmed my
heart. What better feeling
would you have than to have
people from every walk of
"Promises, Promises,
And Promises!"

Footrace Begins Waldensian Festival
Come celebrate with us at
the Waldensian Festival
1981 commerating the
Glorious Return. The
Waldenses, who later settled
the Town of Valdese, were
driven from their valleys in
the French - Italian Alps in
1686. Three years later, in
what was called the
Glorious Return, these
brave people fought their
way back to their valleys.
Every August the citizens of
Valdese remember their
courageous ancestors. The
festival will be held on
August 15, 1981 from 10
A. M. until 5 P. M.
The festivities will begin
at BA. M. with the Fourth
Annual Great Waldensian
Footrace, a one mile run. At
8:15 A. M. two races, a 5000
meter and a 10,000 meter,
will begin. Entry to all three
races is open up until
starting time. A boccia
tournament will be taking
place all day. Boccia, a
favorite of the Waldensian
men, is similar to lawn
bowling.
