Lord, Lord, shall enter into ffie kingdom ... but he that doeth.the will of my Father.—Matthew 7:21. God wills for us useful and complete lives on con dition that we let go of grudges and selfishness, and open our hearts to His influence. Merciful Father, may w e surrender our lives to the guidance of Thy Spirit. Are You Properly Registered? Attention is called to the fact that next Saturday, October 27, will-be.'the. IpsUday a voter can register in order to cast a ballot in the general election Tues day, November 3. when a President of the Un ; ted States will be elected. Thebe is some misunderstanding about being reg isteredj.for there are two sets of registration books in Chowan County. One is for voting for Edenton officials alone and registration only in this book does not entitle .a voter to cast a ballot in.a county o genera' election. Aml vice versa, if a name is listed csly in the county registration books, the voter is not entitled to cast a ballot in an Edenton election. Special attention is directed to young persons who wil' be 21 years old by November 6 and people who have moved their residence. It is necessary to be registered in the precinct where one resides, so that even if names are on the registration books and a vpter moved his residence to another precinct, he must be registered in the latter precinct. The fact that a name is on the registration books in one pre cinct and the voter lives in another precinct does not entitle him to vote in the election. On a number of occasions in previous elections voters were denied the right to vote because they were not properly registered. In most cases the voter was registered in only me of the books and learned when arriving at the polls on election day that his or her name was not on the hooks for that particular election. It is not only a privilege, but it is a duty for every eligible voter to cast a ballot in an election for pub lic official*. At the present time uprisings are oc curring i fi Ijnn Curtain dominated countries seeking free elections. It is a priceless Heritage still pos sessedyhy Americans, so that every last one should take Advantage of the opportunity to say who shall be placed in officp.; of public trust. It miCT|t be well for voters who are not absolutely certain if 'they are properly registered to visit their respective polling places and find out. Election day will be too late. Registrars will sit at the -arious polling places Saturday, October 27, from 9 o’clock in the morn ' ing until sunset, when voters can register or ascer tain if their names are on the proper books. Children Will Have Their Day Wednesday night. October 31, is exppeted to be a gala occasion for the youngsters of the community when they will gather in Edenton by the hundred to parade on Broad Street and later enjoy a Hal loween carnival on the playgrounds. This affair, in augurated several years ago and sponsored by th<- Edenton Woman's Club, has not diminished In in terest since the first party was held more or less as an experiment. Children look forward to it with pleasure and older people, too, enjoy the costume and antics of the youngsters. ’ At the playgrounds free refreshments will be dis tributed to all the children and entertainment wil' also be provided, so that with favorable weather an other record crowd of hoys and girls is expected. The Woman's Club is to he congratulated for thi worthy project. It means no little amount of effor' to plan and carry out the affair, hut the women ar greatly encouraged by the wholehearted cooperation they receive on every hand each year. Not only doe" the parade and party provide fun for the youngsters, but it also prevents fewer minds to be directed to ward miscfiief in celehrating Halloween. Since th Halloween celebration was inaimurated there is fa less destruction of property and less rowdyism thar before, so that the Halloween party is very worth while. What Government Does To You Life magazine vividly testates what is termed an “old truth’’ in these words: "... The more a govern ment does for you, the more it has to do to you.” Before government can provide you with any ser vice, it must first take the money from the pockets of you and all the rest of the taxpayers. And it al ways takes more than it returns, inasmuch as thp administrajtiye costs run high. - That isnVall—or even the worst of it. Any wel fare state Eventually turns to a cheap money policy and lets loose the tides of inflation. Every dollar then buys less and less. The result is a murderous combination of sky-high taxes and depreciated “HIU _____ You can go a long way in the world if you make it yotjj to mind your own business. Faith and patience are great assets and wonder have them when you need them. , If you ev»r had a doubt, about the two sides to every question, just listen to the campaign orators. Helping people in their battles in life is just as rescuing the victims of misfortune. V-r f ' ■ -V?.' Jdeard. & .Seen By Buff Forest Ranger Frank V. White late last week said The Herald should be a daily newspaper instead of a weekly. His reason was that last week an article appeared in The Herald to the effect that he will pay $7 a bushel for cypress balls and $2 a bushel for pine cones. By Saturday night he was swamp ed and was ordered from headquarters to “call off the dogs.” Pine cones and cypress balls came in by boat loads, truck loads and toted to him in bags. Nope, he’s not buying any more, for on Saturday his orders were: “We’ve got enough, don’t buy any more.” Anyway,- quite a few made a nice profit for a day or two. —o Mrs. Jack Leary, one of Edenton’s fine old ladies, will celebrate her 94th birthday next Thursday, No vember 1. Some of us think we can remember way back, but Mrs. Leary can remember when some of the Edenton “old-timers” were born. Here’s one who wishes her a very happy and peaceful birthday, and many of her friends do the same. “Happy birthday, dear Ida, happy birthday to you!” o Harry Jordan, who hails from Springfield, Mis souri, dropped in the office the other day and before he left he gave me a hifalutin’ hat. It is one of those wide brim cowboy-looking hats, and I’m lucky to get it, for Harry had to almost fight off Paul Par tin, who also wanted it. I started to wear the thing to the football game in Hertford Friday night, but the Missus laid down the law that she’d not go along if I did. Rick Allsbrook then borrowed the hat and wore it to the game and time after time he was call ed Elvis Presley. Well, if that’s the reward for wearing the thing I think I’ll wear my old hat or go bare-headed. o One every now and then hears older people com olaining how mean youngsters are nowadays. And p ve heard some of the very same people already tell about some of their carrying-on when they were kids and darn the difference. Anyway, the idea o' •hivalry has not passed altogether from the mind of all youngsters. Over at Hertford Friday nigh' spats were at a premium long before the game start ed, so that just about as many had to stand through out the game as had seats. Two Edenton ladies were standing, near the visitors’ bleachers when twe hoys got up, turned to the ladies and said, “Ladies you can have our seats.” The boys disappeared toe ouickly, for the two ladies would have gladly giver ’em a kiss or even bought ’em a drink or two. o And speaking about good manners, the Edento’- \ces received a fine compliment the other- day. Th' hoys stopped to eat at. the Town and Country Res •aurant near Wiiliamston when they played Tarbnrn and this week Principal Gerald James received a let 'er from William S. Coble, the manager, who had •his to say: “It was a pleasaure to serve your tear and we would like to commend you and your facult for the fine training and discipline that these boy have received, because we have never served a grou of high school students who were as well behaved o more orderly than these hoys were. We did appre mate this business and welcome the opportunity t -erve you again.” That’s just about as good new a." hearing that the hoys won the football game. . —— o-———- C. D. Stewart dropped a few lines from Morehea; City last week telling me to change the address o 'he paper, for he’s moving on another street. H added this postscript. “You had better come dow again for two or three days to go fishing. I think rom vvhat the papers say, that the fish are bitin better. But I suppose they would stop biting righ away if they heard you were coming down.” C. D is no doubt right, for at the rate I catch fish fror -’iers, it would take two or three days or maybe long "r to catch a good mess. —o —. . Tick Elliott has just become grandpappy forth first time, hut he’s waiting for his son-in-law, Clif ord Overman, to pass out the cigars. The othc grandpappy, Charlie Overman, is no doubt doing th same thing. Anyway, Tick says now that he’s granddaddy he’s thinking of growing a beard to mak dm look older. He don’t want to be a grandpappe md still look like he’s only “21”. Well, if he can' grow any more hair on his chin than he has on th hop of his head, he’ll continue to look like he’s “21”. I'm not the only person who is getting very forget ul. Not so long ago Walter Wilkins was a gue~ ff Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Haskett at their cottage a' 'xitty Hawk and Walter kept complaining that h was mighty hungry and wanted to know how soor breakfast was ready. Finally the word was passed out that the morning meal was prepared and every ‘hing ready to eat—all except Walter that is, for when he began to eat he piped out “Lordy me. I for got my teeth.” o Mrs. Pugh Roberson sells a lot of merchandise hut, not ouite everything. The other day she sold Mrs. John Pavlich a unique clothes line. “It will go good with your washing machine,” Mrs. Robersor told Mrs. Pavlich. Little Ferrell Pavlich heard th* - -onversation and the next morning he picked up the Mothes line and going up stairs told Mrs. Robersor "Mama wants the washing machine which goes with the clothes line.” o As of now, the picture looks rosy for the Edenton Aces t(\ win another Albemarle Conference champion ship, but there are two more games to be played which can easily throw a monkey wrench in the works. On paper the Aces should have an edge over both Ahoskie and Plymouth, but the actual ontcome will not be known until after the games are played. There is such a thing as over-<Anfidence which has lost many a gridiron battle, and it can just as easily happen for the Aces if they do not play heads-up football. Here’s one who hopes the Aces will cop another championship, but they’ll have to play good football to do it. See you in Ahoskie! o Mrs. Martin E. Miley of Charleston, S. C., sent in her renewal and had this to say: “I enjoy the home town paper very much: it’s the best wav to k»»n in touch with happenings there. When I get to go home there are few I know any more as Edenton has cer tainly grown and changed, too," THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROIJNA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1956. Just Guessing { By“PETE” ! ! V. d This week I join supporters of the Edenton A .-es in heaping noth ing but praise upon them for the performance they came up with last Friday night against the Hert ford Indians. In my opinion the' Aces defeated the best defensive team they’ve run up against all | season. I believe that i.i defeating i Hertford, a team reputed to be the strongest team in the Albemarle Conference this year, the Aces rea lized the added incentive needed to' go on and win another conference! -hampionship—possibly even anoth er State championship. This week Edenton journeys to! thoskie to meet another conference! giant. I believe the Aces will | handily defeat the Indians if they '■nter the game expecting a hard fought contest, rather than exer cising a sense of superiority due to the fact that Ahoskie was defeat ed by Hertford and also Tarboro, 1 a team which the Aces had little difficulty at running up a one-sided score against. I have stated in this column before that Ahovkie was capable of upsetting the Aces’ high hopes of winning another con ference crown if the breaks of the game leaped toward Ahoskie.

How ! ever, I also believe the Aces have a much better team than does j Ahoskie, but it will be very easy , for the Aces to ■ let down a trifle due to over-confidence. Anyway, ' I’ll say Edenton 20, Ahoskie 0. e Hertford’s Indians will meet h Manteo in « non-conference game . this week. The Indians, after the ? ! bruising battle with the Aces last e ! week, should come back very strong 1 1 this week. I say they’ll make the r j score just about what they want. 5 1 It’s hard to make a prediction of a a game when one team holds the superiority over another that Hert , ford holds over Manteo. Neverthe , less. I'll say Hertford 44, Manteo 6. Tarboro and Plymouth will tan gle this week ’in a game which ’ should prove interesting. Neither ’ team is sporting a very enviable 1 1 record for this season. I do be ’ lieve, however, that Tarboro will hold the edge. Tarboro 13, Ply mouth 7. ■ ,-- - - The Wiiliamston Green Wave ' plays out of their class in meeting . the powerful" Pam Pack of Wash ington this week—another game in which there is no comparison be tween the two teams. Washington 54, Wiiliamston 6. For the first time last week I made wrong guesses so far as win ners and losers are concerned. I picked Ahoskie over Tarboro and | Wiiliamston over Plymouth, which las a result spoiled my record. So far, I’ve made guesses on 14 games, 12 of which were right and two wrong; some actual scores and others fairly c'ose—but then I’m “only guessing” anyway! Below are listed last week’s prediction and actual scores. The first line repre sents the prediction, the second line the actual score: Edenton 13, Hertford 6 Edenton 14, Hertford 0 Ahoskie 20, Tarboro 0 Ahoskie 0, Tarboro 6 Wiiliamston 20, Plymouth 6 Wiiliamston 6, Plymouth 13 * Mtfs.
