They Deserve Your Support It is very noticeable at Hicks Field practically every night the Colonials play that the crowds are not as large as they were last year, which fact is rather dis turbing to baseball officials. For the most part of this season the Colonials have led the Albemarle League and the officials have gone to a considerable amount of trouble and expense in order to provide Edenton and Chowan County with 9/ good brand of baseball. Os course, the baseball officials would welcome somq sign that their efforts are appreciated by the fact that more fans attend the games. They have had some dif ficulty in meeting expenses at various times this year, which condition can easily be remedied by the cooperation of more fans in attending the games. Good baseball has been the general rule thus far this season, although any team in any class league plays an occasional sorry game. Fans should appreciate the brand of baseball offered in Edenton and turn out more regularly for the gjames. Incidentally, Monday night’s game provided just about all the thrills one can expect in a ball game, and there are very few games which are not worth the price of admission. To encourage baseball officials, why not observe'an “Appreciation Night,” say tonight (Thursday) when a doubleheader will be played on Hicks Field with the, Elizabeth City Senators. The First began at 6:30 o’clock with the price of both games being the same as a single game. The Colonials are now leading the Albemarle League, and they have made enviable records in previous years. Let us all rally to their support and add our moral sup port, which in turn will, no doubt, help them to again come out at the top at the close of the season. Our Best Wishes The Herald joins the many friends who regret to lose Comdr. Clarence M. Speight and his family, who left Edenton Sunday, enroute for Korea, where Comdr. Speight will be civilian advisor to the Korean Navy. Though not natives of Edenton, the' Speights took a peculiar liking to Edenton and decided to make their home here. In the few years they lived in Edenton, the Speights have made many warm friends. Both Mr. and Mrs. Speight have taken an active part in various or ganizations, where they will be very much missed. They have made very good neighbors and citizens, so that The Herald wishes for them all the success and happiness in the world in their new and far-away loca tion. Delicate Problem Edenton’s bootblack boys are developing somewhat of a problem, which is trying to be solved by the Town Council and the police, and can be aided no little by cooperation of those who have the boys shine their shoes. At present the boys line up along show windows and cause hazards to pedestrans as well as prevent windof shopping. The boys will be required to shine shoes along the curb as a trial and the public is asked to cooperate. These boys earn a few pennies and their thrift is commendable. If this privilege is taken away from them, ' there is no doubt but that some will resort to pilfering I Don’t Miss Our Clearance Sale o^Ladies^l Dresses - Hats - Beachwear I I And Many Items Throughout Store I I HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE ITEMS: I MEN’S 1 STRAW HATS I $1.98 each B Values to $3.00 ■ MEN’S HEAVY DENIM 1 DUNGAREES I $1.98 I Boys’ Sizes I 51.fi I SIMON Heard & Seen By “Buff” Old Edenton baseball fans had a treat for sore eyes Monday night when they spied Joe Nixon at Hicks Field. Joe was one of the old timers who played for Edenton about a quarter century ago, when he was first base man and a slugger who made many a fan glad many a time. ———o And speaking about baseball, the announcer at Hicks Field didn’t keep the fans adequately informed at Mon night’s game with Windsor. Os course, the announcer would call out each batter as he went to the plalte, and at the end of each inning he would call out the number of runs, hits and errors. What he failed to announce was the number of arguments with the umpire. 0 Edenton’s firemen are sporting a new bench to enjoy the evening breeze in front of the fire station. The bench is a present of the M. G. Brown Company and Fire Chief Cap’n Dick Hall is almost as proud of it as he is the old Reo fire truck. Quite a few fellows smoked a cigar last week, when Anthony Gosser passed around a lot of ’em. It was a boy, and Friend Gosser agreed that he has had plenty of time to accumulate the cigars. Anyway Friend Gosser wanted to know how much the birth announcement cost. Well, it doesn’t cost anything to print a birth announce ment but that’s about all there is free when having an increase. It was very hot last Thursday afternoon, so that every Rotarian, except one, went to the weekly meeting with out a coat. That one was George Twiddy and he used a little aforethought, for he had to have the president’s button pinned on him. George had a handful of papers and he made a big hit by not reading all of ’em. Comdr. A. von Keller was sort of bragging the other day that Cal Kramer didn’t have much on him in way of Rotary attendance. Both had perfect attendance ever since they belonged to the Rotary Club. The only dif ference is that Cal has been a member for 23 years and Comdr. von Keller has been a member about a month. Then there’s Major W. R. Lucius, who also has a perfect record—he’s been a Rotarian for a whole month. At any rate, Cal has given all Rotarians a record to shoot at. 0 Major W. R. Lucius seemed rather excited down town the other day. He said he was looking for his wife. “Do you think she’s lost?” I asked him. “No,” he replied, “she’s around here somewhere spending money.” My only advice was “Ye gods, you better find her quick.” o “It seems as though every time I call that man on the phone he’s gone to his farm,” said a lady the other day as I entered her office and she was hanging up the telephone. Well, so far as that particular fellow is con cerned his farm is more often than not spelled “golf course.” o And speaking about golf, I played my first game in over two months last Friday. Hec Lupton said my score w r as 72, but I’m pretty sure he must have counted the number of times I swung at pesky mosquitoes. Any way, I -was out of practice and was given some advice by my daughter when I came home. When I told her I was out of practice, she suggested that I take a few swings at the grass and weeds which have grown up around the house since the Missus has been sick. And tWait’s what I don't tuidenstand —I can swing at a golf ball 72 times and walk a couple of miles after the ball and it’s fun. But to take 72 cracks at grass and weeds and not even walk over a few steps—well, who in the dickens can stand such kind of hard work? 0 I don’t know who enjoyed Monday night’s baseball game most —the Edenton fans or Doc Murphy. The Colonials won over Moe Bauer, a jinx to Edenton batters, which pleased the fans no little. But then Doc Murphy fanned the air for stikeouts three times in succession and on his fourth trip to the plate he walloped a home run. It must have been “good news tonight” for Pop Murphy. some of the things they want as well as causing other kinds of trouble. It’s a problem which needs delicate handling.

M. Ellis, agricultural engineer for the State College Extension Service. Building improvements should begin with strengthening of the joints, he adds. Ellis says two engineers at the Agricultural Research Center, Belts ville, Md., have just compfleted a test of wood-frame joints of various types. “The joints are often the weakest parts of any structure,” they said. “Failures are therefore most likely "It's an Easier life!" ...WITH HOHN DEERE Equipment Yes, farming today, the John Deere way, is easier than grandfather ever thought possible. And, it’s faster and better, too.
