Getting off to a rather sluggish start, the Aces have greatly improved and thus far have won four games and lost three. They , will, without doubt, endeavor to add another victory to the win side of the ledger and at the same time try to , maintain an unbeaten record against a Franklin outfit. To date the gridiron teams of the two schools have met only three 1 times, all of which resulted in vic '. tories for the Aces. In 1936 the Aces won 7-0, in 1938 the score was 32-0, while last year the local boys threw a monkey wrench in the Franklin out fit’s perfect record by taking the long end of a 26-0 score. Little is known of the strength of Franklin this year, but Coaches Tex Lindsay and Nick George are expect-1 ing to run up against a rugged team and are drilling the boys accordingly. Members of. the squad are in good shape for the game, so that the most optimistic fans predict the Aces will . take the measure of the Franklin : boys. Coach Lindsay will no doubt staht with his usual lineup, with Paul Has sell and Earl Goodwin, ends; Hector Lupton, Jr., and George Habit or Etb gar Rogerson, tackles; Earl Menshew and AI Habit, guards Frank Habit, center; Andrew Whitson, Boblnr By- : rum, Jack Habit and Russell Wheeler, 1 backfield.

C„ THURSDAY NOVEMBER 6. 1947. Commissioners Give SSOO To Band Fund i Committee From PTA Makes Appeal at Meeting In response to a plea from a com mittee from tho Junior Woman’s Club, the Chowan County Commis sioners on Monday voted to make a SSOO contribution to the band fund. Comprising the committee were Mrs. L. A. Patterson, president of the PTA, Mrs. John White, Mrs. J. Clar ence Leary, Mrs. Earl Goodwin and Mrs. Hector Lupton. Mrs. Patterson was spokesman for the group and told the Commission ers that although the fund had reached around $4,500, the canvassers had about exhausted prospective con tributors and for that reason they were appealing to the County Com missioners and will enter a similar appeal to Town Council. She stated that the goal # is $6,000 and that the PTA does not want to see the project* fail when realization ih so near at hand. Mrs. Patterson, for the benefit of the Commissioners, broke down the $6,000 budget, stating that $1,750 will be needed for new instruments, | $25 per month for rent of a room from Mrs. John Habit will take S3OO, $3,000 has been estimated for salary for a director and a certain amount will be necessary for repairing in struments on hand and other in cidentals. Uniforms are no problem at pres ent, said Mrs. Patterson, for it will be some time after the band is or- . gahized before they will be advanced far enough to parade. Negotiations are now in progress to employ a full time director which is deemed es- , sential rather than a part time dir- 1 ector. Mrs. John White told the Commis sioners her group would like to see the Commissioners boost the “ther- ' mometer” 10 notches, which would ! have been SI,OOO, but the Commis- ' sioners contributed half the amount, 1 which brought a round of applause from the ladies. Gene Spruill Able * < To Leave Hospital; —*- i Parents Have No Bad 1 Feelings Toward Any < ’ Concerned 1 Gene Spruill, a member of the Edenton High School football team, 1 who was accidentally burned during . a Monogram Club initiation, was re leased from the Chowan Hospital ) Friday afternoon. The parents of the young man, Mr. and Mrs. Will Spruill, requested The Herald to express their thanis and sincere appreciation to Dr. Frank Wood, nurses at the hospital, Edenton doctors, Mayor Leroy Haskett, John A. Holrfies and a host of friends, both old and young, who visited their son while in the hospital and showed their interest in his welfare. Mr. and Mrs. Spruill say they deep ly appreciate everything that was done in behalf of their -son, and that ■ they and Gene have only the kindli est feelings toward all who were con cerned in the accident. Mr. Spruill stated that he had been urged to bring suit as the result of ' the burning but, he said, he has lived in Chowan County all of his life, where he has many friends, a (id he doesn’t intend to resort to a suit as a means of revenge for what was purely an accident.

OLD Mr. oOSTON ■ MOCKsRYB I V,. 1 '■*’ I •m anumi gMiuML Ml Edenton Flooded By : Heavy Rain Monday High Tide Contributes To Sluggish Drainage Os Water y ■ Aided by an unusually high tide, a torrential rain Sunday night and early. Monday morning flooded several see tions of Edenton to such an extent that some families were marooned and cars stalled in standing water, ipaking it necessary to detour traffic in a number of cases. So much water fell that the outlets to the variouh storm sewers and ditches leading to the Sourid were unable to allow any more water to flow, so that it backed up and formed veritable lakes in several sections of town. The condition on North Broad Street along Hicks Field became alarming and one or two families ex pressed fear that they would be oblig ed to move furniture to the second floor. Some damage was also caused in a number of instances. Albemarle Street near the ceme tery was impassable with water a foot or more above the bridge. Groups of people on each side were prevent ed from proceeding to their destina tion. Flooded conditions also prevailed on Granville Street near Route 32 and at the corner of Granville and Carteret Streets water accumulated for quite a distance, making traffic doubtful. On Court, Queen and Church streets water rose to a considerable depth. Flooded conditions prevailed at the cotton mill and near the hospital at the Naval Air Station, while many rural roads and fields were inundated. Hertford, Windsor and other towns were also affected, it being necessary to detour traffic going to Hertford due to Route 17 being covered with water at several places. Many say the rain was the heaviest ever experienced here, which, coupled with a high tide, prevented the heavy downpour to drain off. Conditions were not normal until about mid-day. 56 JAILED IN OCTOBER According to Jailer Herman White, 56 persons were placed in the Chowan County jail during October. Confine ments ranged from one to 21 days, with the expense amounting to $164.58, which included jail %nd turn key fees. • Gift Wrapping Materials and Greeting Cards For AH Occasions CAMPIN’S JEWELERS g* ueinrs] PEACH fUu**ed BRANDY ~ CODE No. «IS JsU|||jßh n.BO ml FULL PINT TO MOOT CHARLES JACQUIN Ot CI PHILADELPHIA, PA. • «ST. 1«M i. —^ FUN FUN FUN T EVERYONE INVITED!
