And lately some small towns are getting new industries to move into their midst, the latest being announced only Wednesday morning of this week when it was learned that a northern needlecraft factory will locate in Ahoskie. The concern proposes to open with a minimum ployment of 150 and a yearly payroll of $300,000, with the expectation that these figures will be tripled with in a few years. This concern did not just happen to decide to locate in Ahoskie and the same goes for other industries mov ing into North Carolina towns. Local communities must take the initiative and sell a bill of goods that their com munity is a good place to do business. This, of course, entails experienced procedure and the Department of Conservation and Development realizing this fact is cooperating in a campaign to attract industries to small er North Carolina towns. In order to more adequately acquaint those interested in securing new industry, the Department of Conserva tion and Development is sponsoring a series of develop ment forums, one of which will be held in Elizabeth City next Tuesday night, October 27. The meeting will be held in the Pasquotank County Court House, beginning at 7:30 s’clock. New industry is needed to provide additional revenue in Edenton as well as in other Eastern North Carolina towns. Industry is needed if the Albemarle section is tq go forward. At the Elizabeth City meeting will be heard speakers who are in the know-how regarding steps necessary to attract industry. Heading the list of speakers will be Lieutenant Governor Luther H. Hodges and Cecil E. Blass and climaxing the meeting will be a question and answer period, when those present will be permitted to ask any questions for enlightei ment. Edenton at present is angling for a northern garment factory to locate here, so that it behooves all who are interested in the progress of Edenton and securing new industry to bring about a better balance between agri cultur and industry to attend this meeting in order to be better informed and thus be in better position to seekj and attract new industry. These meetings have been well attended in other parts of the State, so that many from Chowan and adjoining counties should make a special effort to attend Tuesday night’s meeting in Elizabeth City. Your children will tell you what’s wrong with you, without the necessity of questioning. Most people when confronted with their favorite meal, make a spectacle of themselves.

By “Buff” r , I, | , '"‘l m —A , Private George Hassell, who is now stationed in Korea wrote a letter to his mother this week in which he told her a Christmas party is being planned for unfortunate Korean children. Presents will include discarded shoes and clothes, toys and in fact just about anything. Pri vate Hassell says the GI who gets the most stuff for the Korean kids will be allowed to attend the party. He would like to go to the party, so he will appreciate it if anybody in this neck of the woods will send anything to give the little Koreans. His address is: Private George Hassell RA 13454470 A Battery 15 FA Battalion Second Infantry Division Care Postmaster San Francisco, California ; According to the way I hear, squirrels had a hard time < Thursday morning of last week, opening day of the sea son, and for several mornings after the first day for that < matter. Not enough wind was stirring to shake a leaf, j so that it wasn’t hard to find Mr. or Mrs. Squirrel hop- ping around in the branches. In some sections of the county it sounded like a battle was in * progress. Then j quite a few hunters tried their luck to shoot a deer and ] at least one, Dr. Roland Vaughan was either lucky or , wise enough to bag a deer. The way I heard it, Doc a new way of hunting deer. I was told he stood on a < stand about four hours and not seeing or hearing any > signs of a deer, he parked’himself in his car and fell asleep. His slumber was aroused when a colored man ’ driving a log truck stopped and, giving Doc a shove, said, “Say, partner, do you want to kill a deer ?” Doc | sleepily said, “Yes, where is one?” “There swimming in the water,” said the colored man. Then Doc asked, Is * it a buck?” The colored man replied, “I don’t know, but it has horns.” Completely awake by this time, Doc , crawled from his car, sneaked along the edge of the wa- , ter and when Mr. Deer hit land, Doc bagged himself a ; deer. Well, that’s another example of cooperation, for < had the colored man not cooperated or had the deer , decided to swim to the other side, Doc would have come ; home like a lot of others-r-empty-handed. ; o So far as my fishing is concerned the bloomin’ speckled ] perch have knocked off biting lately, but J. A. Wheeler j says things are picking up. The other morning he tried , his luck and caught three. I was told that he usually J catches one speckled perch and a catfish, so that things < must be looking better for him. < o < Bill Goodwin, who is a certified Masonic lecturer, spent < last week down around Hatteras, where he lectured a J lodge. Before he left Edenton he borrowed Dusty , Rhoads’ rod and reel, but that’s not used in the Masonic < work. Maybe he wanted it as “protection” in event he , was held up. At any rate, he brought back a couple of < nice bluefish, so that maybe he had to do some lecturing J along the water’s edge. But then a fellow can buy blue- , fish, you know, but Bill still contends that all the blue- < fish cost him was some extra muscular effort. ’ Rummage sales are very popular these Saturdays with bne in progress at almost every street corner and be tween corners, too. With so many of these sales going on a fellow better check on his Sunday suit before going ):o the closet to get dressed for Sunday School or church — yep, Sunday School and church services are held every Sunday in case you’ve forgotten. o The menu in the press box at Hicks Field Friday night was lemonade instead of hot coffee—the weather made ,the difference. Sponging on Bus Wozelka has affected my conscience, so that I’m going to have charge of the menu this Friday night, which will be doughnuts and coffee—be it hot or cold night. (The press box ac commodates only a limited number of people and the same goes for the doughnuts). The press box was full last Friday night, with radio workers broadcasting the game over WCPS, the Tarboro radio station. Incidental ly, members of the “working press” are wondering what has become of Joe Webb, Jr., the “Yeopim Daily” cor respondent—he’s been absent the last two games. o Here’s one who is. either too darned busy or mighty absent-minded lately. Some weeks ago my friend Harry Jordan sent me some good (and I mean good) cigars from Missouri. I intended to write him and thank him for ’em, but due to procrastination, I saved three cents for a stamp. Mr. and Mrs. Jordan are now spending some time in Edenton, so that when he dropped in the office Tuesday he poked out a cigar, which reminded me to thank him for the ones he sent me some time back. When I saw him it was one of those “most embarrassing moments,” but I thanked him just the same. Beauty Operators Given Instructions Mrs, Kermit Layton, Mrs. Clarence White and Howard C.

Edenton Hornets Win Prom Winfail 15 To 0 Edenton’s Hornets, colored high school football team, defeated the Winfail Phantoms 15-0 Friday night on the Hertford gridiron. It was a nip and tuck battle during the first half, with neither team be ing able to make much headway. However, in the third quarter the Hornets began to click and Robert Coston crashed through right tackle for the first touchdown. Bernard Fleming’s kick for extra point was good. Two more points were added when a safety was made. The second Hor net touchdown resulted when Winfail fumbled and Henry Bond bulled his way to the goal line from the 15-yard line. The Hornets play in Scotland Neck tonight (Thursday).

What exactly are the cor rect signals to be used in North Caro lina? M.O.—Brevard. This is one of the easiest driving regulations to remember. The Motor Vehicle Manual describes correct arm and hand signals as follows: Left turn—hand and arm horizontal, fore finger pointing; Right turn—hand and arm pointing upward; Stop—hand and arm pointing downward. The law fur ther says the signal must be given from the left side of the vehicle and continued for the last 100 feet trav eled prior to stopping or making a turn.
