Only 4 Home Games
On Colonial Schedule
V
Fans Especially Urged
To Turn Out For Final
League Contests
Only four more home games re
main on the schedule of the Edenton
Colonials in the regular Virginia
League season. These games will be
played next Friday with Petersburg,
Saturday with Emporia, Tuesday of
next week with Franklin and the final
game Thursday night of next week
with 4 Elizabeth City.
According to Colonial officials, at
tendance at the remaining games may
largely help to determine if Edenton
will have organized baseball next sea
son. The club is in need of funds and
with large attendance at the remain
der of the games, this phase of opera
tion will be greatly helped.
Officials suggest that the next week
be designated as Baseball Apprecia
tion Week and urge fans not only to
attend every game themselves, but
that they go to some effort in inviting
or bringing friends to the games. In
this way the burden will not rest on
a comparatively few in raising the
necessary finances.

Sponsored by the Edenton Police Department, an exhibit titled
“The Pay Off,” depicting the fate of our late enemies, Hitler, Mus
solini and Tojo, will be shown on the Belk-Tyler lot on Broad Street
Wednesday and Thursday of next week. .
This exhibit shows, through the medium of third dimensional
scenes, Hitler just before he fired the fatal shot ending his mad
career; Mussolini pleading vainly for his life before a squad of
Italian partisans, and Tojo nervously awaiting his hanging in Sug
ama prison.
The exhibit dramatically points out that Tojo was the first top
flight war maker ever to be brought to trial before a court of law
for his crimes and executed. It also emphasizes the fact that Stalin,
through Russia’s participation in the Nuremburg war crimes trials
becomes an international criminal himself in the eyes of world jus
tice. _ Excerpts from the speeches of Stalin and other Communists at
the time of the Nuremburg trials show that Stalin helped to set up
laws against aggression—the laws he now ignores so frequently.
Among the highlights shown in the big traveling exhibit are a»
set of Hitler’s silverware, beautifully engraved and like most other
Hitler treasures bearing “Der Fuhrer’s” monogram; an ornate key
formerly carried bv Mussolini, and a Japanese Samurai sword made
before Columbus discovered America.
