Qcoutin’ Around By PETER * CARLTON t The baseball mill begins to grind! Former Major j League New York Yankees baseball star, Lefty 1 Gomez, is here heading up the spring training center t of the Binghamton Triplets—also termed the “Little ! New York Yankees.” Yes, sir, the baseball mill has | begun to grind. What comes out is anybody’s guess, < but those in the know don’t often guess very far j wrong. Here in Edenton, which is gaining recogni- 1 tion as the “home” of the Binghamton Triplets dur ing their spring training sessions, was developed a most valuable player. Last year a lad came here, among the some forty odd players, just as this year P yt, t PETER CARLTON they have come. Today we have been informed that he couldn’t be bought for less than $35,000. We are speaking of Vic Raschi, who is now pitching with the regular New York Yankees major league squad. Welcome home, fellows! Wel come home, Lefty Gomez, Leon Ham ilton, Billy O’Donnell. Sam Nash and Charlie Peet! Your neighbors of Edenton and Chowan County offer the keys of the city to you all. o At four o’clock in the morning, this past Saturday, one of our neighbors, E. O. Corbett, watch man for the Evans Mill at Cisco was attacked and assaulted in an attempted robbery. From reports j FOR'SALE I !

MIDGETTE, Manages of the affair, the lights were sud denly switched off by an unknown person, and Corbett was beaten about the face. While banged up and bruised, he sustained no ser ious injuries. The thief in the night was scared off by the yell ing and the coming of neighbors, one of whom declares he saw the struggling going on, but could not identify the assailant This is the third time Corbett has been ' THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., I'HI ItSPW,. MARCH 27, HU7. held up and attacked. The first time he lost fifteen dollars; the second time he lost eighty dollars. 0 Here's a word for the fellow who thinks he is getting away with it. The files of our City, County and State police, and also those of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, are full of cases of fellows who thought they could get away with it. Get this—the long arm of the law is re lentless. Even while you are asleep it keeps probing—probing—search ing. It will track you down no mat ter where you are. You can’t get away with it! Somewhere, some place, you've left a clue. Mark what I say, “You can’t get away with it!” -——o There’s a definite way that one can tell when certain things come to pass. It’s not difficult to tell when one is grief stricken, nor when one is happy—and neither is it difficult to tell what has hap pened when you see a couple of fellows coming along with their shoulders swinging high, and their chests extended—well, at least two inches more than usual. When you follow in the wake of these fellows to see what they’re up to —and then suddenly run in to a smoke barrage, caused by everyone puffing furiously and joyously on a mouthful of big. brown cigars, then you sort of figure that just one thing could have happened—somebody’s had a baby. Yes, sir-two babies. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Louis i George Wilkins of Edenton, on March 17, in the Chowan Hos- t pital. a seven pound eleven ounce j bundle of joy—a son, Louis George, Jr., and we hear he will carry through life the distinction of being the first child born in the newly opened Chowan Hospital, which is located at the former Naval Air Base in Edenton. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Murriel By rum —eight pounds and six ounces of precious—-“female-ette”, a little daughter, Susan Brendina. Nam ed after her mother. Susans Brendina—mother and child — your neighbors here in Edenton and Chowan County, take you both into their hearts. Into the warm heart of Edenton, the for mer Colonial Capital; the Eden ton which offered haven to others 225 years ago; others seeking a new world—a new life. 0 It is so difficult for one’s neighbors j to observe their friends suffering j from any illness whatsoever. To see, Lynn Byrum and Clarence Leary, Jr., walking about again and breathing in that delicious Spring Edenton air, is tonic for all of us. o Mr. John Holmes informs us that his wife is showing definite improvement. Mrs. Corrie White is up again after a brief siege of illness. Miss Mildred Byrum, daughter of Mr. and Mtb. Eli T. Byrum of Rocky Hock is home due to an enforced recess of school, caused by an outbreak of “flu” in the Williamston school system where she teaches. It is expected that she will be home about a week. We called the Chowan Hospital this past Sun day morning around 7:30 A. M. and the cheerful voice of the nurse in charge informed us that Miss Eleanor Evans of Rocky Hock would he going home with in a few days. Eleanor was op erated on for appendicitis.

We hear Frank was a very sick lad for a while. He is show ing improvement now. Mrs. N. J. Goodwin and Mrs. “Kid” Jones were both down with the “flu”. From last reports, they are up and about. o Something no one should miss is the “womanless wedding” which will take place tomorrow evening at the High School. Leroy Haskett should bring the house down as the “bride”. David Warren is the “groom”. Wal ter Holton is the "jilted sweetheart”; A. P. Hassell is “Mr. Turnip Green”; Johnny Mitchener is the “aunt of the bride”; Frank Holmes is the "uncle”. Can you picture Izze Campon as “Miss Nosey” and George Twiddy as “Miss Needs A Man”? This is really going to be a scream. J. E. Baker, President of the Farm Bureau of Chowan County and Jesse L. Harrell, President of the Edenton Chowan Chamber of Commerce and Merchants As sociation both received letters from Herbert Bon ner relative to the threatened farm appropriation cut. He as sured both groups of his active support. . , —() Watch Eugene Smith—he's here with the boys. He promises to be a most valuable player judging from past experience. They say his en trance, into professional baseball is 'almost like out of a story book. . As lan unknown semi-pro ball player, he ; walked into the office of the S:\ Aug j ustine Club of the Florida Statu I League one day early in :ho lM(i [season. He talked hi -if into being . allowed to pitch for the batting prae tice. When Manager Bill .Steinecke saw, that he could not only get, the hall I over the plate but also coi l i put plenty: “moxey” on his pitches, he wasted no time iit signing him up on j - contract, lie proceeded to set an out- 1 standing record for Class D ball. He 1 won 21 games and compiled an “earn ed-run” record of 2.78, Word of the Florida boy’s prowess quickly spread through the baseball world, and at the close of the season the Yankee | owned Newark Bears succeeded in outbidding many other clubs and 1 purchased his contract. And now I he’s with the Binghamton Triplets. 1 From D to A ball will be quite a ! jump for the young pitcher, but 1 Yankee officials expect him to make ; it with no trouble. He owns a blaz ing fast ball and has good control, j Let’s watch this young athlete—will I he be another Vic Raschi?
