The victory gave the Aces a record :of six victories to three defeats for the season. The Edenton outfit hand ed Columbia two defeats, won from ! Williamston, Windsor, Ahoskie and; I Plymouth, while games were dropped ! to Elizabeth City, Hertford and Wil liamston. Friday night’s game was a thriller from start to finish for the large num ber of fans who witnessed it despite a cold night. Edenton scored early in the first , quarter when George Norris snagged, a Plymouth pass. Jack Habit recov- j ered his early season form and plow ed for about 20 yards and again for 10, and then lugged the ball from the 8-yard line for the first score of the game. Try for extra point failed. From this point until the final quar ter the ball see-sawed back and forth with both teams fighting doggedly, but neither being able to make much progress. Plymouth fans were made happy in the fourth quarter when Peele recov ered an Edenton fumble on the 20- yard line. Playing an inspired game, Gurganus and Basnight advanced the ball to the one-foot line, from where Gurganus plowed through the Eden ton line to score. Try for extra point failed, making the score tied at 6-6. With only a few minutes remain ing in the game, Edenton was knock ing for a touchdown when they ad vanced to the one-yard line. On a line play there was a fumble, but George Norris recovered over the goal line, which netted another touchdown and the game. The try for extra point failed, so that the final score was 12 to 6. For Edenton Jack Habit, George Norris and Andrew Whitson played outstanding ball, while Basnight and Gurganus were best for Plymouth. Chowan Charities Gets Check For $l,OOl W. J.

The notice reads as follows: "Recent laboratory analysis of J whole unpasteurized milk which was purchased on the open mar ket in the Town of Edenton re veals that this milk is contamin ated. Consequently Naval per sonnel are advised not to drink any milk that can be purchased in the Town of Edenton. “Milk which can be purchased 1 at the station commissary, ship’s service or that which is served at any of the messes on the station is pasteurized and perfectly safe 'I to drink.” Inquiry at the Health Office re- ] vealed that milk has been found not up to par following investiga tions of sanitary inspectors, but | that efforts are being made to clear up the situation at once. United War Fund Goalj Is Finally Reached | Late Contributions Send Drive’s Figures to $5,028.50 With the final report turned in early this week, W. J. Taylor, chair man of the United War Fund drive, was greatly relieved when a check on the contributions revealed that the quota of $5,000 was reached. At a meeting held late last week, Mr. Taylor reported that contributions amounted to $4,954.50, which was $45.50 short of the goal, but that a few scattered reports had not been made. On Monday $74 was turned in by the remaining canvassers, which boosted the contributions to $6,028.50, or $28.50 more than the quota. In reaching the quota, Mr. Taylor senses a deep feeling of appreciation, for at various times during the drive it appeared that the quota would not be reached. Mr. Taylor desires to thank all who helped in the canvass as well as those who made contribu tions which enabled Chowan County to maintain a record of having met all quotas.

Afternoon Session Held Monday to Consider Conditions NOW APPALLING Mass Meeting Is Called For Thursday Night, December 13th So vitally concerned- are the Cho wan County Commissioners over tu j berculosis conditions in Chowan j County that an afternoon meeting was I held Monday at which Mrs. J. A. j Moore, Mrs. J. H. McMullan and W. ! J. Taylor were invited to attend for j the purpose of receiving information, ) as well as hearing any suggestions as Ito how the Commissioners could as | sist in helping to improve conditions. W. W. Byrum, chairman of the Board, said that he understands conditions are becoming alarming and that the Commissioners realize the danger if the disease is not checked, and for that reason would like to have some I suggestions from those better ac quainted with conditions, so that more progress can be made in combatting | tuberculosis. Mrs. Moore, who is vitally interest ed in stamping out tuberculosis and ] has spent a great deal of time and [effort in that direction, said that in her opinion the most effective means ; would be to organize a Tuberculosis Association in Chowan County for the purpose of case finding, caring for the indigent sick by providing proper clothing, food, sanatorium attention arid pneumothorax treatments. She explained briefly what could be done with the organization, referring to i other counties in the State which are similarly organized, in some instances supported by tax money. It was the general opinion of the Commissioners and the trio called fn that under present conditions,' a Tu berculosis Association should be or ganized, with funds coming from pub lic subscription. The belief was ad vanced that if Chowan County people Were aware of the appalling condi tions, theye would be no hesitancy on their part in contributing to an ade quate fund which would be used solely in Chowan County in an effort to stamp out tuberculosis. So much impressed were the Com missioners with the idea that they re quested a mass meeting to be called in order to Jay bare facts before the people and to organize a Tuberculosis Association. j Subsequently Mr. fay lor conferred with Mrs. Moore and it was agreed : to call the mass meeting, which will ! be held Thursday night, December 13, at 8 o’clock in the Court House. At that time Frank Webster, secretary of the North Carolina Tuberculosis ! Association of Raleigh, is expected to ; be present to offer advice relative to ! organizing and to speak to those at- I tending. It is felt Certain that the associa ] tion will be organized at that time and that a board of directors, chair man, secretary and treasurer will be elected so that as little delay as pos sible will be necessary before active participation in the fight against tu berculosis. Committees will also be set up throughout the county for the purpose of inaugurating a drive in the near future for contributions to the fund. Those vitally concerned are hopeful that many in Chowan will become awakened to the danger which exists and attend the mass meeting, so that an organized movement can (Continued on Page Two) 15 School Absences Reported Last Month W.
