Edenton Aces Win Over Morehead City Friday Night 20 -13 Holland Turns In 9 Sensational Game In Second Victory Sparked by the offensive play of) Stuart Holland and Jimmy Harrison,] the Edenton Aces won its second foot ball game of the season Friday night' on Hicks Field when they defeated! Morehead City 20 to 13. The Aces showed considerable improvement over* their first game when they defen ted ■ Roanoke Rapids 14 to 6, so that fans were well pleased with the game. Stuart Holland, replacing Tay By rum, who sustained a broken collar bone in the first game, at quarterback, played a sensational game, scoring aH three of the Aces’ touchdowns. Ho also performed like a veteran at call- , Ing the game, one time sweeping the' visitors off their feet by a fake kick with Jimmy Harrison racing to the Morehead City 9-yard line. Together Harrison and Holland bore the brunt of Edenton’s offense, with both adding yardage by spectacular! runs which brought spectators to! their feet. I On defense. Center Billy Hardison was a thorn in the flesh for the visit ors. as was Lin Bond and Cecil Mil ler who time and again broke no, plays and stopped tbe Morehead City 1 ball carriers. | The Aces Scored first late in the. first quarter. Edenton kicked, and on the second play Morehead City sum-i bled. After the ball changed bands j a few times the Aces got possession' in midfield. Stilley drove eight yards i and Holland picked up five for a first down. Jack Smith then gained six '■ and lost one. With the ball on the' 30-yard line Holland raced for thel touchdown. Smith crashed through for the extra point. Morehead City came back strong in, the second quarter to score two touch-' dowms and led at half time 13-7. Bob-} by Willis scored first for Morehead City when he picked up 16 and Con-' nor added 14, but the visitors were! penalized 15. Willis then ran wide' around end to gain 59 yards and was' brought down by Wayne Emminizer' ■ t on the 4-yard line.

C. 1 _ *m r WOMEN AND WHEELS Four Checks When You "Fill ’Er Up 99 By Mary Lou Chapman A “dip-stick” is not a new type of ice cream cone. It’s that gadget under the hood of your car that shows you how much oil is in the engine. And if you have anything to do with cars—even if your hus band generally takes care of such things you should be familiar with it There are actually four other items besides gas that ought to pop into your mind every time you drive into a gas station. They are: checking the oil, the water in the radiator and in the battery, and taking a look at your tires. Just because you may not un- Mias Chapiuaa derstand the engineering intrica cies behind these items, don’t be intimidated. Get out of your car anyway and watch what the at tendant does. IT’S FLATTERING J He’ll probably be flattered to have you watch him do his job, and will do it better—and maybe you’ll learn more about your car in the process. Lots of men we know get out every time that hood goes up. There is something fas cinating under that metal canopy. Os course you don’t have to carry this motor-peering to extremes and start your own repair shop. But bear the following in mind ! when you go gasoline trotting in the future: Check the oU. This is where the dip-stick comes in. Your gasoline attendant should show you the car’s oil level on the dip-stick. This is how you read it: The level should be between the “add-oil” •nark and the “full” mark. If the •;vcl drops below the “auci oil” j nark, add only one quart of oil. I midway of the quarter.

N. r ”~”URSDAY. SEPTEMBER 23, 1954. OIL’S EXPENSIVE 1 The level should be watched quite closely, because if it goes over the full mark, the oil is likely to be wasted. It chums around in there and leaks out. Oil is just too ' expensive for that sort of thing. Yet too little is dangerous, because the function of the oil is to keep the wearing surfaces of the engine smoothly lubricated, and lack of J oil may ruin it. You should see that the oil is kept deem, too. A ! filter is helpful for this. If your car has one, remember that these fil ters also need periodic changing (every 5,000 miles) as they become filled with the dust and dirt they remove from the oiL i Check radiator water. This is im portant. The water is circulated from the radiator through a “jac ket” surrounding the engine. It keeps the engine (which often gets as hot as 2,000 degrees in the com bustion chamber) cooled down to a | mere 160 degrees or so. That is, as , long as you keep enough water in it. Check the battery. This one too ! is primarily a water problem. Each 1 cap should be removed to see that the water is at the proper leveL i Normally, the battery should be checked about every two weeks, ! but in hot weather or while you are on a long trip, have it checked : every week. i TIRES TIRE, TOO *' Check the tires at least once a week for signs of small breaks and for proper pressure. Your dealer will tell you what pressure is best for your particular tires, but it averages out in most to about 24 pounds when they are cool and 27 pounds after they have been roll ing awhile. Never let air out of tires immediately after a long journey, though, as tires are built ( today to stand expansion. Just be sure that they are properly in flated when moderately cool, and ; you’ll be safe. i Periodic rotation to different wheels helps aU four tires plus the spare to wear evenly. This should: be done at every 3,000 miles. More complete servicing of your car is done when it is lubricated.' This is every 1,000 miles or once j a month. * * • (Fashion writer, artist and TV per sonality, Miss Chapman is a natii.i of Detroit, and has spent the Ins; several years working with r. >— j mobile stylists, designers anil \ ./. 1 neers at Chrysler Corporation.) on their own 35, the visitors march ed to the 3-yard line, from where, Wickizer plowed over for a score. The try for the extra point failed, putting the visitors out in front 13-7. i The Aces went ahead 14-13 about the middle of the third quarter when on fburth down, after losing 10 yards and an unsuccessful pass, Holland called a fake play and as he was in kicking position Jimmy Harrison scooted to the 9-yard line. Another pass failed, after which Holland ram med over for the touchdown. Smith added the extra point. The Aces nar rowly missed another touchdown near the end of the quarter when Chan Wil son gathered in a pass and went to the 3-yard line. However, a fumble was recovered by Morehead City as the quarter ended. The visitors fumbled on the first play of the fourth quarter with Rog erson recovering for the Aces. The Aces were forced to kick and the visitors fumbled on their own 21. where Cecil Miller recovered. Holland gained 4 and Stilley drove for a first down to the Morehead City 6. Stilley picked up 3 and then lost’ 2, but the visitors were penalized 5, putting cbe ball on the 1-yard line, from where Holland rammed over for the final touchdown. The try for the extra point failed. After the Aces kicked the visitors were unable to make much headway so that it was Edenton’s ball on the I Morehead City 35. Twice the Aces were penalized for too much time in calling signals, and lost the ball near the end of the quarter. The visitors resorted to the air and Stilley inter cepted a pass as the game ended. The Aces chalked up 9 first downs] to the visitors’ 4 and gained 152 yards I by rushing to 112 for Morehead City. Edenton added 69 yards by four of 12 passes completed while the visitors completed two of 10 attempts for a total of 45 yards. Edenton Police Make _ 55 Arrests In August Chief of Police George I.

For some years (now there has been open gambling at I the fair, but early this year a dele ' gat ion fom the American Legion re layed to me a solemn promise that there would be no gambling there in 1954. This same promise was made to the Board of County Commissioners less than two weeks before the fair began. In addition to this, I wrote. the local American Legion command er that a lawyer had informed me such gambling was strictly forbidden by the laws of the State of North Carolina. There was gambling at the fair. There was a bingo game at the fair which young children were encourag ed to play, even without their par ents’ consent. The attention of leading Legion naires was called to this, but noth ing was done about it. I personally inspected one of the games, and found it to be crooked. The Sheriff of Chowan County did absolutely nothing to stop this gamb-i ling. The manager of the Ferris Shows. ' which operated the carnival part of | the fair, told me that they paid the Legion sixteen hundred dollars for the privilege of fleecing the people of I Chowan County. Gambling, he ex-1 plained, was the only way they could I realize a return on their investment. | He boasted that they have set up their gambling booths all over North I Carolina, and have never been molest- 1 ed. He Was well aware that gambling is illegal in North Carolina, but ex plained to me that “after all, every one breaks the law” ( !). ] The professional gambler is a para site; he lives off the labor of others, and contributes nothing whatever to society. I have no idea how much money these vermin have taken away from our county, but it must run up into the tens of thousands. It comes from those who can ill-afford the loss, and gives them nothing whatever to j show for their hard-earned money. ! These gamblers have special games! for the young people. On occasion. | one of them, under the influence of alcohol, will leave his booth to ap-1 proach a group of young children and! entice them into throwing away their few pennies on his particular game.' Usually these children’s games have! . “come-ons” such as “a prize for ev eryone.” The purpose of these games, : as the manager of the shows admitted, ; to me, is primarily to instill the gamb ling habit in our children, and to set' t them up for the time, a few years i from now, when they will have more 1 ~ | T ASSURE THE SUCCESS OF YOUR J I Peanut Harvest I i WITH THE DEPENDABLE PERFORMANCE OF THE NEW I f Benthall Peanut Picker j b And Benthall Hay Baler I We Have In Stock a Complete Line of Machines and Parts for T Your Peanut Picking Needs A I Let Us REPAIR Your OLD DIGGER NOW j I DON’T GET CAUGHT IN THE LAST MINUTE RUSH 4 Q We Carry a Complete Stock of Goodrich Repair Parts Byrum Implement & Truck Company “Your International Harvester Dealer” D- -/t 2 " ~~ ~ rjtr ~ ? edenton, n. c. < * (money to lose. | Finally, this gambling is giving our community a bad name among the hundreds of Marines stationed near here (the Legion made a no-gambling pledge to the Commanding Officer at; the Base last year). These boys can (ill-afford to lose money, and when they are fleeced by “sharpies” they become bitter. Sometimes this bitter ness is directed against the local com- 1 munity, more often it is directed against the South as a whole. There is much more I could say,! but I do not wish to indulge in per-1 sonalities. Further, there is some in-1 formation I have which I wish to save until later. Sufficient to say that too many promises have been made, and broken. Both the Ed Bond Post of the American Legion and the Ferris Shows should be punished for their open, flagrant contempt for the laws of the state, and both of them should be put out of the fair business once and or all.
