THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1948. Hail The Champions! Edenton baseball fans without doubt are proud of this year’s edition of ithe Edenton Colonials, who handily won the Albemarle League pennant, then went on to win the semi-final playoff by an edge of 4 to 1 games from the Hertford Indians, with the climax coming last Saturday night (when the Colonials won the fourth straight game from the Windsor Rebels to claim the undisputed championship of the Albemarle League for the 1948 season. The splendid Colonial baseball team did not happen by accident, but ib it is reflected no small amount of interest and untiring effort on the part of somebody. Most fans were primarily interested in going to the games just to see a group of young men play the (national pastime, but back of this group of boys was another group whose interest and ability is just as es sential as players in making the present season a buccess both in number of games won as well as finan cially. At least four men, and possibly others, were not in uniform, but played a very important part in the show ing made by the Colonials. To mention names, they are Marvin Wilson, president of the Edenton Club; Bill Elliott, who attended to a multitude of duties, all of which went toward a smooth working aggregation of ball players; David Holton and L. S. Byrum. This quartet, all of whom are lovers of the great American sport, contributed of their time, energy and advice in an untiring effort to provide Edenton fans with good baseball. Their efforts have not been in vain, and while they have made sacrifices in the interest of baseball, they have the satisfaction of knowing that the sport has been enjoyed not only by Edenton fans, but many living elsewhere as well. There is no ques tion that Edenton’s baseball team has attracted more people to Edenton than any other one thing in recent years, and as a result the various baseball games, while packed with competition, have gone a long way to creating a more friendly feeling in the several towns in ,the league. The Edenton Colonials and officials of the team have hung up a splendid record for the season, both in way of victories won and sportsmanship. The Town as a whole is proud of their record, and The Herald joins ■in saluting them as a real group of champions. They have won the Albemarle League championship, but what should be more important, they have won the ’hearts of a large group of fans in Edenton and else where. Opportunity To Help Attention is called to a letter appearing on the front page of The Herald, written by Mrs. Carolyn McMullan Grant, who is now living in France. Mrs. Grant has an opportunity to witness first hand the needs of many poor French and other European children, so she is appealing to any person or group of persons for contributions of shoes which she will distribute among needy children. To be sure, many people in Chowan County throw away shoes which would be a godsend to many unfort unate European children. If anyone is interested, Mrs. Grant, who is the former Miss Carolyn McMullan, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. McMullan, will be glad to hear from them. Her address is: 8 Avenue Eugenie, Seine et Oise, St. Cloud, France. When people evenjjwhenje ay nee on a pnodutct, you. know that pjiodjjoct id yootl!

THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. O, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1948. I Heard & Seen By “Buff** j Os course, everybody knows the living costs are sky high, but it didn’t worry me one morning this week, so far as breakfast is concerned. Mrs. Haywood Phthisic called me on the phone about 6:46 one morning, asking me to fix up an advertisement, and added that she was sending my breakfast, and she did. It included a tray of the fast-selling Phthisic sausage meat and three eggs, which in reality were about six eggs. They were laid iby some of Mrs. Phthisic’s pullets and were as large as about two regular size eggs. Anybody else want me to fix up an advertisement ? Mrs. George Byrum was one of the Edenton Colonials faithful feminine baseball fans this season and when playing away she couldn’t wait until, the team returned home to learn the score, so she called the telephone operator. “What’s the score?” she asked on one occasion, and the operator replied 2-2. In her excite ment, Mrs. Byrum hurriedly asked Who s favor. The operator didn’t answer, but Mrs. Byrum heard a giggle and joined in herself after she realized she miscued. I had something to say a short time ago about em ployees being obliged to be mind readers. Well, the same thing applies to newspaper folk. For instance, Frank Muth has been living at Charlotte for several months and apparently he recently returned to Snow Hill. The reason I know that is because Frank dropped me a letter the other day giving me hail Columbia for not getting his Herald at Snow Hill, when he didn t even let me know he left Charlotte. Frank also said in his letter that on a recent visit to Edenton he heard Peter Carlton’s program over the radio and the an nouncer said “Eattington”. The “eat” caught Franks attention, saying that maybe all of the people in Eden ton are like a certain editor who also specializes on “eat”. But speaking about “eats”, I’m slipping. West By rum had all of the County Commissioners at his home for dinner Wednesday noon and I was especially invited to join ’em. But darn it all, at about the time they were enjoying a meal prepared by Mrs. Byrum, I was busy as could be .writing this mess, as well as the ad joining column. At any rate, I understand a good cook enjoys seeing guests eat, and unless I miss my guess Mrs. Byrum had this pleasure when that crowd of County Commissioners planked themselves in front of the table. Postscript—ls you get your paper late it s because I just couldn’t resist staying away when Mrs. Byrum urged me to .be on hand. “We have chicken, she said. That sounded good, but when she said “We also have ham,” well, that did the trick, so whether The Herald is late or not, I’m leaving this instant to eat dinner with West Byrum and his group of County Com missioners. o Without doubt Doc Murphy, Edenton Colonial peppy third sacker, was the happiest man in Edenton Satur day night. Doc envied practically every member of the team for Smacking out a home run during the season and while he hit ’em all over the park, against the fence and even over for foul halls, yet he was able to hit his first home run Saturday night in the final game of the championship series. What made the circuit clout more satisfying is the fact that it was made with a former major league pitcher on the mound for the Windsor Rebels. Doc was as happy as a kid on Christmas morning and his joy was also shared by all Colonial fans, who were pulling for him to hit a homer. o I haven’t taken particular notice recently, but I heard a fellow on the bleachers at the baseball park last week say that he doesn’t find any worms in pea nuts these days. “I have often found worms in pea nuts,” said the fellow, “but they’re not so plentiful any more—especially since the price of meat has sky-, rocketed.” Maybe he has something there.

Dances Resumed At Legion Hut Opening Affair Sched uled Saturday Night, September 18 » 1 Officials of Ed Bond Post of the American Legion announced Wednes day morning that the Saturday night dances at the Legion Hut will be re sumed, starting Saturday, Septem ber 18. For the opening dance the music will be furnished by Buddy Butterton and hk orchestra of Portsinouth. The Saturday night dances attract ed large crowds .before they were abandoned for the summer, so that it is expected that the forthcoming events will again be very popular. Successful Revival At Rocky Hock Church A very successful revival meeting at the Rocky Hock Baptist Ghurch closed Sunday night, during which 22 were added to .the church by confes sion of faith and three others affiliat ed with the church by transfer from other churches. The preacher fo# the revival was the Rev. W. H. Hollowell, a former Rocky Hock resident, now serving a pastorate at Castalia, N. C. Successful revivals were also re cently completed at the Center Hill Church and the Warwick Church. The Rev. Robert L. Costner of Knightdale, preached at Center Hill, while the Rev. W. C. Pate of Gaffney, S. C., preached at Warwick. « In rivers and bad governments the lightest things swim at top. —Benjamin Franklin.

It is estimated that the civilian and military payroll at the station will be approximately 15,000,000 annually. In addition, a considerable amount will be spent lo cally for supplies and services neces sary for the operation of the air station. It is possible that the consumma tion of the Marine Corps plans for Edenton may meet with opposition from some of (the present users of the property. However, it is felt that the compelling need for these facili ties for the defense of our country should far outweigh these objections. It is with these latter thoughts in mind that I am forwarding this in-- formation tp you so that you may be fully informed as to our plans for the Edenton Air Station. “Please be assured that we are ex tremely anxious to work these prob lems out to the mutual satisfaction and benefit of both civilian and mili tary interests, and I should be happy to receive any expression from you as to your own views.
