THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1963. r , nnJUW»AAAAT» .*■“ ** ** A LIFT FOR TODAY A man’s life consisteth not of the abundance of the things which he possesses. Luke 12:16. EXCESS POSSESSIONS can actually make us poorer because we forget that only the unseen things are real and eternal. May we forget the glitter of the material, Our Father, and fasten our faith upon the eternal verities of Christ’s teaching. Timely Theme It is interesting to note that Edward G. Bond Post, No. 40, has adopted “Better Safety For a Better To morrow” as its theme for the 1953 fair which will be held the week of October 26. So enthusiastic is this appeal for safety that city and county schools in Chowan Coun ty have been asked to participate through special pro jects which will be on display during the entire week of festivities. Under the supervision of Mrs. Alice E. Futrell, field representative, Highway Safety Division of North Caro lina, both white and Negro schools of the county have selected some phase of safety to portray through ex hibition to the public. Ranging from safety in the home to safety throughout the entire county, much time and conscientious effort have been devoted by the school chil dren in making this timely appeal a success. Merit will not go unrecognized, however. The nine projects will be judged on October 28 by trained safety supervisors of the State and prizes will be awarded. It behooves any child to practice his safety manners at all times, and especially on October 19 and the en suing week. During this particular time any student en rolled in one of the Chowan County schools may be ap proached by safety spotters and given free theatre tic kets if he or she has been noted practicing safety cour tesy. This may involve a simple matter of crossing the street at a corner rather than jay walking or it may en tail giving proper signals while riding a bicycle. Ten dollars worth of such tickets will be handed out during the safety drive. Schools in Chowan County participating and the pro ject selected by each school are as follows: Edenton High—Driver training in high school. Edenton Elementary—Pedestrian Safety. Chowan Elementary—Bicycle safety. Rocky Hock Elementary—Farm safety. In the colored schools the projects will he: Edenton High—School bus safety in North Carolina and Chowan County. Edenton Elementary—School playground safety. White Oak Elementary—Fire safety. St. John’s Elementary—Home safety. With such a slaughter on our highways and injuries and deaths resulting from carelessness, too much em phasis cannot he placed on safety measures, and the logi cal place to start is among our children. Ed Bond Post is to be commended for adopting the theme “Better Safety For a Better Tomorrow” for this year’s fair. See Boy Scouts In Action Adults who are interested in Boy Scouts will have an opportunity to get some idea of their activities when a “Scouting In Action” fair will be held in Edenton Satur day. Scouts from Edenton, Rocky Hock and Center Hill will put on different demonstrations from 11 A. M. to 5:30 P. M. The Scouts have been preparing for weeks in order to demonstrate a cross section of their Scout work, so that it is hoped a goodly number of adults will put in an ap pearance to see the Scouts in action.

There was nothing short in the press box, at Hicks Field Friday night when Edenton’s Aces were defeated by the Elizabeth City Yellow Jackets. Even before the game started, Announcer Bus Wozelka pulled out a gal lon jug filled with piping hot coffee. Cups, spoons, cream and sugar were also brought to the game by Bus, so that every now and then during the night folks in the press box sipped coffee. Joe Webb, the “Yeopim Daily” representative, was not on hand Friday night, so his cup of coffee went to Miles Clark, pappy of the crack Eliza beth City High School Band, who was invited up (and I mean UP) in the press box. Then Izzy Campen, who is on hand to see that the clock and score board is properly functioning, distributed hags of Spedic peanuts, so that the boys got along very well. However, the peanuts came very near being the ruination of Izzy. He had just shoved a peanut in his mouth about the time one of Edenton’s backfield men wiggled away from Yellow Jacket tacklers and looked like the Edenton boy was off for a touchdown. But the Yellow Jacket safety man yanked him down which caused the peanut to flip down Izzy’s throat, almost choking him. ■ o Mr. and Mrs. John Parrish had an odd experience the other night. As they were leaving the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Crummey, parents of Mrs. Parrish, they heard a cat meowing. They looked outside the car and the inside as well, but could not find the cat. They even looked in the trunk of the car, but still the noise was heard but no cat found. Finally Mr. Parrish lifted up the hood of the car and there sitting on top of the en gine was a small black kitten. How or when the cat got under the hood is still a mystery to Mr. and Mrs. Parrish, but fortunately for the cat, it was found before the seat got hot. o Quite a good deal of interest prevails at the Rotary Club each Thursday in connection with guessing football scores. Os course, most of the Rotarians forget from one Thursday to another -vffio they picked as winners, much less the scores. At any rate, last week I jotted down my guesses and while doing so, Tick Elliott re marked: “What’s the use of doing that? By Sunday you’ll not know what you did with that slip of paper.” Well, he’s nearer right on that guess than he is on some of the football scores. o . Today (Thursday) a lot of hunters and guns will get some exercise, for the squirrel season officially opens. (It opened unofficially for some fellows before). I’ve seen a lot of ’em while fishing and in one instance a bloomin’ squirrel was up a tree dropping acorns in my boat. But had I had a gun the scudder would have been half a mile away from me. Anyway, Leon Thomas an nounces that in North Carolina the duck and geese sea son is November 11 to January 9; brant, December 26 to January 9; woodcock, November 26 to January 6 and snipe and jacksnipe, November 26 to December 10. As with other game, it is good policy to observe not only the legal season, but hag limits as well. o And speaking of fishing, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon White of Arlington, Va., spent the week-end in Edenton. Ver non was working at the Edenton Daily News when I first put in an appearance over a quarter of a century ago. He told me he had bought a cottage at Solomon Island, near Washington, D. C., and that he has caught 13 dif ferent kinds of fish. He’s invited me to come up to visit him and enjoy a day of good fishing, and by gosh, he’s liable to have an unexpected visitor one of these days. —: There was a fine crowd on hand for the football game between the Edenton Aces and Elizabeth City Yellow Jackets on Hicks Field Friday night. Were as large crowds on hand at every game, Coach Ben Perry’s head aches would be fewer. It takes money to keep a foot ball team on the field and the principal source of reve nue is taken in at the gate. The Aces meet Tarboro in an Albemarle Conference game Friday night. How about going out to watch the Aces play and hear the Edenton High School Band play? Town Councilmen had quite a few visitors at tKeir meeting Tuesday night. Os course, whenever the Coun cilmen enter the room and see a large crowd, it usually means that somebody is wanting sumpin’. The trouble is that requests are becoming more numerous and the' wherewithal seems to be getting less. More Fish Stocked In local Waters 8,800 Bluegills Released In Rocky Hock and Pembroke Creeks ________ * In accordance with previously ap proved plans, the Wildlife Resources Commission has completed stocking of 8.890 bluegills, averaging one inch in length, in the waters of Pembroke and Rocky Hock Creeks. These fish were produced at the State Fish Hatchery located near Fayetteville, N. C. District Game and Fish Pro tector R. E. Evhns directed the re lease of the fish and solicited assist ance from members of the local Wild life Club and other interested sports men. Those participating in the stocking were: Gibson Brickie, Wil liam (Gashouse) Parker and W. M. Cozart. The Wildlife Resources Commission points out that the cooperative ef fort of all interested in the State’s fish and game resources will be re quired to bring about better fishing, the favorite outdoor recreation of so many Americans. i d f ▼ 8.8.
