Rainbow Glory For Local Gridders As Season Ends Washington Final Vic tim In Hard Fought Game ENVIABLE RECORD Honor Banquet Planned And Captain Will Be Selected Edenton High School’s 1936 foot ball team closed its season Friday amid a halo of glory as a much heavier and undefeated Washington High School eleven was defeated by the score of 19 to 12, thus keeping a clean slate so far as home games are concerned since 1933. The game was packed with thrills as both teams un corked all the power they had as well as every conceivable play in their bag of trucks. A play that especially thrilled the spectators was a run by Melvin Layton, spark-plug of the Edenton aggregation, when from the 40-yard line he tore through the entire Washington team to sprint for a touchdown within two minutes after the game started. He also made the extra point. From this point Washington tightened up and as the quarter ended the visitors af ter recovering a free ball were bid ding for a touchdown with the ball on the 3-foot line. They went over for a counter as the second quarter started, but failed to make the extra point, leaving Edenton in the lead 7-6. Neither team was able to score the remainder of the half. During the third period spirits of Edento fans were somewhat dampen ed as Washington, after recovering a fumble by John Byrum, put on all steam and scored another touchdown to lead the Edenton boys. Their at tempt at extra point again failed, leaving only a touchdown by Eden ton to come off the winner of the j fr&y. This touchdown came in the final quarter as Melvin Layton and I John Byrum rammed at the center of j the line and as Washington centered j its efforts to back up the line Layton I unexpectedly skirted left end for the | counter. The extra point again fail ed, but fans were greatly relieved to | say the least. And to make the vie- j tory more complete Layton during the [ closing minutes of the game made i another spectacular run of 30 yards to add six more points. It was a beautiful end run with John Byrum, blocking in excellent fashion, giving | Layton little opposition in the play. Washington had a heavier team than Edenton and during the game gave an exhibition of spinner plays, shuffles and reverses seldom seen in a high school combination. They came prepared to win, having been undefeated during the entire season, and Edenton likewise was determined to keep up the record of no defeats on the home field since 1933. The game was very interesting from start to finish and the victory over Washington found a perfect set ting as th ecurtain was drawn on the 1936 season, which resulted in the 7-6 defeat by Elizabeth City, the 0-0 tie with Roanoke Rapids and victo ries over Windsor, Williamston, Franklin, Va., Tarboro, and Wash ington. This year’s taem, though practical ly a new squad, made a creditable contribution to the past record of the school, being able to maintain a clean home slate as well as piling up a total of 131 points to their oppon ents’ 19. Edenton teams have lost only four games out of the last 39 games (Continued on Page five) Yeopim Union Meets At Rocky Hock Church Friday And Saturday The Yeopim Union meeting will be held in the Rocky Hock Baptist Church Friday and Saturday, the opening session being at 11 o’clock ■Friday morning when the introduc ' tory sermon will be preached by preached by Rev.

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, I falling on Thursday, The Herald ap pears one day egfHer this week. I This action WSs taken in order for readers to receive their copy of the paper to enjoy on the holiday as well as afford workers for The Herald the opportunity to spend the day out of the city if desired. Due to advanc ing of the day of publication some news ordinarily carried was necessar ily received too late for this issue. Edenton Dropped As Pulp Mill Location Edenton dropped out of the paper pulp mill picture, which has been painted so rosily all through the Al bemarle since summer, by the re ceipt of a letter on Saturday from the Kieckhefer Container Company, of Delair, N. J., which said the propos ed Edenton location “would not be as favorable as others in mind.” There has been so much talk of the pulp mi11,—52,000,000 mill, $20,- 000 weekly payroll, and so on—that the editor of The Chowan Herald de cided to find out about it, and wrote the Delair folks who have figured in Williamston, Windsor, Plymouth and Edenton gossip. The reply was sat isfying if not reassuring, and was as follows: “Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of October 26th, 1936, in which you state there is considerable interest in Edenton regarding the possibility of our locating there, in respect to our proposed pulp mill, we regret to ad vise that for various reasons such a location would not be as favorable as others in mind.” Yours very truly, KIECKHEFER CONTAINER CO. C. A. White. Plan Exhibit Paintings Os W. Selby Harney An exhibit of the paintings of W. | Selby Harney is now being arranged ; by Circle No. 1 of St. Mary’s Guild. I The exact date of this exhibit has ! not been decided upon, but it will be ! early in December. It is the purpose of the ladies to conduct the exhibit during an entire week and on the opening,night to stage a silver tea in connection with the affair, which will be held in the Parish House. Mr. Harney, formerly a resident of Edenton, and now secretary of the Norfolk-Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce, is an artist of no mean ability and in the exhibit will be 18 or 20 pictures painted by him, includ ing a portrait of his wife, Dr. Frank Graham, Governor Ehringhaus and other well-known people. A small admission will be charged by Guild members in order to raise money for this particular Circle. Prepare For Erection New Service Station The old frame dwelling house at the northeast comer of Broad and Queen Streets has just about been leveled to the ground by a corps of carpenters who began work late last week. The building is being tom down to make room for an up-to-date service station for the Sinclair Oil Company, work on which will be be gun immediately after the lot is cleared. District Auxiliary Meet Held In Parish House The American Legion Auxiliaries of this district will meet in Edenton at the Parish House Wednesday morning. The meeting will convene at 10 o’clock, and Mrs. W. E. Baker, president of the local Auxiliary, is very desirous of having all members of her unit present. Representatives from * Elizabeth City and Manteo are expected in large numbers, and it is hoped that much good will be derived from this meeting. I Outstanding visitors will be Mrs. C. P. Andrews, of Charlotte, State president, and Miss Aurelia - Adams, State secretary and treasurer. Mrs. W. W. Cohoon, of Columbia, will also be present, and each of these visitors will have a forceful message for the units. Dinner will be served and those who expect to have dinner at the Parish House are requested to notify Mrs. Shelton Moore or Mrs. Jesse White as soon as possible.

O. HELPING Employer and Employee To Pay; Plan of Tax Explained Employees affected by the provi sions of the fe.leral social security act received their blanks yesterday, which must be filled out and returned through the local post office. The cards are expected in by December 5. The post offices of the country are distributing and handling the return of the blanks byway of full coopera tion in the accomplishment of the gigantic task confronting the Social Security Board. It is the plan of Postmaster C. E. Kramer at the Edenton office, as well as other post masters, to obtain the desired com pleted information sought by the ap plication blanks with as little incon venience as possible to employers and employees. About 26,000,000 working people will be provided with something to live on when they are old and have stopped working by the terms of this new “pension” act. The provisions of the act become payable after the individual has reached the age of 65, and the cost of carrying this type of annuity will vary according to the age of the individual worker, and in any essential will be but an infinites timal part of his or her earning. The taxes called for in this law will be paid both by your employer and by you. For the next three years you will pay maybe 15 cents a week, maybe 25 cents a week, maybe 30 cents or more, according to what you earn. That is to say, during the next three years, beginning January I, 1937, you will pay 1 cent for every dollar you earn, and at the same time your employer will pay 1 cent for every dollar you earn, up to $3,000 a year. Twenty-six million other work ers and their employers will be pay ing at the same time. After the first three years—that is to say, beginning in 1940—you will pay, and your employer will pay, 114 (Continued on Page Five) Senator Bailey Favors Federal Park Idea, Too United States Senator J. W. Bailey, who has just gone to Duke Hospital, has written Rev. C. A. Ashby that he, too, would like to get in on the Parson’s idea to make a federal park out of this historic section of the Albemarle. The Senator said he had read of the his compatriot, “Bob Reynolds, r.nd Lindsey War ren, were taking in the movement and he believed he could be of help, too, and would like to be. He assert ed there was no section in North Car olina so deserving of such park pro motion, and anything he could do to assure it he would be glad to. REV.G.W.BLOUNT| IS RETURNED BY M. E.

N. Pruden, chairman of the Chowan Chapter of the Red Cross, j reported Tuesday afternoon that the : County will by far exceed the quota of 250 members in the annual Red j Cross Roll Call. When The Herald i went to press last week 115 had ! joined during the drive and up to Tuesday of this week 130 more names have been sent in, bringing the total to 245. That the quota will ! be exceeded is assured by Mrs. Pru ! den in that there still remains eight I more canvassers to be heard from. ! Mrs. Pruden has also sent cards to j Legionnaires throughout the County, : and she expects to secure some mem bers from them. As chairman of the Red Cross, 1 Mrs. Pruden is very appreciative for ' the splendid cooperation on the part of the canvassers as well as those j who have joined in the Roll Call, and is proud to be able to send to Red Cross headquarters an over-subscrip ] tion by the time the drive ends.
