Edenton’s Aces, defending State Class A champions, stopped down
into their own bracket Friday night at Williamston and easily pounded
the willing but piinchloss Williamston Green Wave down to a 35-6 de
feat. The victory, second straight for Coach Mill Hidings' Aces, came
iii their first meeting of the year with a Class A team, and got their
Albemarle Conference season off to a flying start. Edeliton has lost
only to Class A,A Roanoke Rapids.
Senior quarterback Stuart Holland scored three touchdowns and
steered his team across the Green Wave goal line the first five times
it gained control of the tinll. It'
wasn't until late in the third quar
ter, with Sophomore .1 oh tiny Kra
mer quarterbacking a substitute
studded Edenton team, that* Wi'-
liamsfon’s defense got off the (look
without being scored upon.
The statistics dearly show the
pattern of the contest, with Eden
ton holding a big advantage in
everything except . passing. The
Aces out-gained Williamston on the.
ground, 350 yards to HP; In total
yardage Edenton was tops, 307- l td.
The Aces tod in first downs, I 1-5.
Edenton showed its versatility hv 1
striking for -touchdowns, by two
methods—long runs and short hut
effective scoring plays after long
drives. Ace halfbacks Tommy Mass
and Billy Munch turned in long
runs, with Mass scoring from Hi
yards out and Munch being brought
down on tho Wave two after a 55-
yard gallop.
Holland picked up his 18 points
on a 26-yard run on the Aces’ third
play from scrimmage, a 14-yard
jaunt later in the first period, and
a two-yard quarterback sneak in
the second quarter that capped an
86-yard drive,
Williamston'.s only touchdown
came .as a shock to the crowd of j

Edenton then turned in its long
est. drive of the night, starting

unit kept Williamston bottled up

Farm Fire Loss Highest Ever
The liiclic-l vciirlr farm lire Ins* in l:. S. history jumped
875.000 when this dairy barn and silo homed al Newington, Conn.,
late last year. Total loss for tile year was .8157.000.000, a 13 pe
er 111 inerease from the year before, areording to I . S. Department of
Agriculture estimates. Farm tires don’t have to happen and they ear ;
be prevented hy eonimon-sen-e tire preventionmeasures, .says the 1
National Fire Protection Association.
Each year farm fires exact a.
greater toll of life and property,
says the National Fire Protection
Association, sponsor of Fire I’re*:

losses on the farm’ in 1054 jumped
13 percent over the 1053 figure
for a total of 8157,0(11),(100, ac
cording to the C. S. Department
of Agriculture.
Thi‘majority of last year’s
farm fires should not have hap
pened, and for farmers Who would
keep their farms free of fire, the
NFI’A has this advice:
1— Break the habit of sfhok
ing in bed and in danger areas
such as barns, sheds, and store
rooms. Smoldering cigarettes
and hurtling matches carelessly
.tbro\yii aside are to blame for a
heavy proportion of U, S. farm
fires.
2 s— Keep fl'liinees, stoves,
space heaters, brooders and other
heating equipment clean and in
good repair. : Dirty or faulty
heating equipment is another

Production Is Down
Based on reports from growers
as of September 1, the 1955 soy
bean crop in North Carolina is es

is 18,000 bushels below, the 1954
production of 4,720,000 bushels, ac
cording to the North Carolina Crop
Reporting Service.
If the estimated yield per acre of
16.5 bushels is realized, it will
equal the highest yield of recqrd
