Scoutin’ A round
By PETER CARLTON
WE WENT to Williamsburg this past Sunday with
every intention of witnessing “The Common Glory”
pageant. The weather threatened all the way. When
passing through Suffolk, my good wife suggested it
would be a wise thing to find out if there would be
a showing, should it rain. Being like most men, '
this suggestion was not headed. And so a good
many miles were traveled with very little return.

meeting, which took place in the Joseph Hewes Hotel in Edenton,
last Saturday night, were Doctor Cola Castelowe of Windsor, Doctor ,

We’re going to miss “Dad”
Bufflap. It was, as some folks
say, “some kind of good” to hear
his friendly greeting as he sat in
the chair specially set aside for
him at The Chowan Herald.

We were going to read the an
nouncement of the baptismal service
held at Cannon’s Ferry on Sunday
morning, but we ran out of time on
our “Let’s Be Neighborly” program.
The Rev. W. C. Francis, pastor of the
Rocky Hock Baptist Church, officiated.
Among those immersed were Miss
Dorothy Eason, James Harrell, J. C.
Toppin, Mrs. Troy Toppin and Mrs.
Nolan Toppin. These names were
secured from Medlin Belch, church
secretary.
o
Spying Chief Dail’s silver plat
ed automatic pistol, we queried
him as to where he ever got hold
of such an one. He replied he
had been hiding it away, because
every time someone sees it, they
want to buy it. (Especially when
the armed forces operated in this
area, he says).
o
Speaking with Mayor Jerry Hughes
of Elizabeth City this past Monday,
we find that the people like the park
ing meters. Very few complaints.
As a matter of fact, passing through
there during the week, we saw many
cars parked around the meters. Only
instead of the cars belonging to clerks
in the stores, they no doubt belonged
to people who came to town to do
business.

Speaking of good public relations
and its effect on business, a colmunist
in a certain newspaper devoted lots
of space to describing the treatment
which a bank accorded him (an al
leged typical borrower) when he came
in to borrow SIOO. It ends with the
intended customer apologizing to the
banker for coming in and offering to
make the bank a loan. The bank im
mediately sent its check for SIOO to
the columnist, together with a one
year installment note which he was
asked to sign and return. The letter
accompanying the check offered op
portunity to the bank to point out
that it has more than 78,000 small
borrowers’ loans on its books and
welcomes that kind of business.
o
How many of our stores check
on their brand of service to their
customers? Good public relations
pays dividends. When any firm
or organization hMieves it is so
big that it does not have to make
any effort to get business, then
is the time to watch out, for the
slide down hill is faster than the
effort and money and years speat
in building up a good business.

Billy Rose took a crack at public
relations firms and counsels. Calls it
press agentry in so many words. Mr.
Rose is to express his opin
ions in his column and elsewhere, but
could he be basing his opinion on his
own experiences with press agentry
in boosting his many enterprises in
the world of amusement? Albeit, it
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY. AUGUST M, 1947.
would seem a bit ungrateful on his
part to bite the hand that helped put
him over. However, public relations
takes in a greater field than just
boosting or whitewashing a client, or
indulging in the pyrotechnics of bal
lyhoo. Public relations is human re
lations. It is a sensible approach to
a problem of making people under
stand the “why” of a given activity
of a person or organization. It em
braces not only the field of journal
ism, but all the media of communi
cation between humans, including,
conferences and speeches. Also in- *
eluded are the many humanizing ac
tivities that make people feel that an
organization or client is a worthy ci
tizen or asset to the community. This,
in part, explains the type of profes
sion that is rapidly becoming the part
of every type activity imaginable. So
Billy, me boy, even though your
columns are most interesting and en
tertaining, you’d better make a more
serious study of what those in the
field of public relations are trying to
do before you become quite so flip
pant with your pronouns and syno
nyms.* You owe it to your, many
readers to be accurate.

Opportunity unlimited—it was
inspiring to listen to the ideas of
some of our citizens concerning
business opportunities. Many
might say that “hot air” never
got anyone anywhere* Yet, I’ve
listened to many people with
ideas, over the years. A good
percentage of them wanted
someone to talk to, more or less
as a “sounding board,” to hear
how their ideas sounded aut loud.
Many of them have put their
ideas into practice. J. A. Moore
spoke of a book called “Acres of
Diamonds.”' Since our conversa
tion, I’ve heard or read about
many references to the ideas con
tained in this book. There are
“opportunities unlimited” in our
back yards, if we had the per
ception and the understanding
and the aggressiveness to find
them . . . “acres of diamonds.”

A little boy made a business of
selling bait to fishermen. He noticed
in one particular section where he
lived that after the rains, many
worms came to the surface of the
neighbors’ lawns. He collected them
and made a good many hundreds of
dollars for the summer’s vacation.
o
A little girl began tying “flies”
or fishing lures; today she has a
nice little business with many
people working with her.
Enough to save money for col
lege. A salesman took around a
specimen of her work and to her
surprise found that there Wits a
demand for them. She gets or
dersjfrom all over the country to
day. (Isn’t it simple, after it
gets started? What is it that
retards us? Why is it that some
people have all the “luck”? Is it
not rather—that beyond an occa
sional fortuitous opportunity—a
mixture of sweat and guts?)
Edenton Colonials
Clinch League Race
(Continued from Page One)
Edenton 5, Colerain 4
Wednesday afternoon of last week
the Colonials defeated Colerain 5-4 on
the latter’s diamond. The Colonials
scored a run in the second inning and
in a big third inning hung up four
counters. Colerain scored a run in
the second, and the score stood 5-1 in
favor of Edenton until the ninth in
ning, when the Bertie boys scored
three runs and threatened seriously
to win the game. Vick was on the
mound for the Colonials and despite
a commanding lead, he was touched
for four hits and three runs in the
final frame and a runner on base.
Jordan was called in at tl. : s point and
after walking the first batter, Fow
ler flied out to Trot Leary to end the
rally.
•DiLorenzo was on the mound for
Colerain and while allowing only six
hits, his teammates made five mis
cues, which figured in the scoring.
Vick led Edenton at bat with two
hits, while Claude Griffin hit a home
run over right field in the second in
ning.
Edenton 6, colerain 5
The two league leading teams again
crossed bats Thursday night on Hicks

close game 6-5. Lester Jordan and
Monk Harrington engaged in a pitch
ers’ duel, performing on about equal
terms until the seventh inning when
the Colonials made three hjts, netting
four runs. Harrington was. replaced
by Mustian in the eighth. Colerain
near the end of the game again
threatened to go off with the long end
of the count, scoring three runs in
the eighth and another in the ninth.
Colerain outhit the Colonials, making
9 hits, while the locals connected
safely 8 times.
Edenton’s big seventh inning rally

ners scampering home.
Edenton 7, Elizabeth City 4
On Friday night ofi Hicks Field
the Colonials had little difficulty in
defeating the Elizabeth City Sen
ators 7-4. Johie Griffin, on the
mound for Edenotn, was in good
form, giving up only six hits, while
his teammates had their batting eye
working, gathering 13 hits, three of
which were circuit clouts by Joe
Wheeler, Joe Fulghum and Ben As
kew. Timm for the Senators was
touched frequently for base knocks,
but held out until the eighth, when
he was replaced by Edwards.
The Colonials began scoring in the
second with two runs, added one in
the third, two in the fouith and one
each in the fifth and sixth. Ben As
kew, who was on first base instead of
Claude Griffin, had a big day at bat,
connecting for three hits, a home run,
double and single.
The visitors had a big seventh in-j
ning when they scored three of their
runs. Three hits and an error re
sulted in the trio of runs, while their
final run came in the eighth oil an
error and a long fly hit by Kelly.
' Edenton 7, Elizabeth City 5
On Hicks Field Saturday night, the
Elizabeth City Senators were appar
ently coasting toward a victory until
the seventh inning when the Colonials
registered five hits and five runs to
go in the lead 6-5. Up until the sev
enth Edwards, Senator moundsman,
had allowed only five hits, but was
relieved by Black in the seventh af
ter three hits' and two runs were

Edenton 3, Elizabeth City 0
In Elizabeth City Sunday after- ,
noon, the Colonials walked off with
the long end of a 3-0 score despite
the fact that Don Helms for the Sen
| ators turned in a splendid perform
: ance by allowing the Colonials only
four hits. Costly errors were respon
-1 sible for the loss, which put the Sen
ators out of the running for fourth
1 place and the opportunity to take
part in the Albemarle League play
offs. J
Vick for the Colonials was in good 1
form, allowing only four hits, but be- 1
came wild in the eighth and walked :
three men, filling the bases, with only 1
, one out. Jordan was sent to the 1
mound, fanning one batter and the
other popping up a fly, thus ending
the scoring threat.
