Unfortunate Conflict
It,is very unfortunate that a conflict has
affecting the Edenton Christmas party
and file Edenton Aces’ championship football
game in Burlington Friday. There are many
who would like to attend both, but there is no
way 6t postponing either, so that one of the
othen,events must be missed by a large number
of people.
j Publicity has been given,, the Christmas
•party and a group of bands already have agreed
to participate, one of which is the crack Cherry
Point Marine Band, worth anybody’s while to
come out to hear. Other preparations have
also'been made so that postponement is out of
the question. v
The football game, too, cannot be postponed
for the date for this contest was set back in
September by the North Carolina High School
Athletic Association. It must, therefore, be
played or else. In fact at the outset of the
football season there was apparently little
thougfit given tc the Aces’ chances of reaching
the playeff for a State championship, but it has
happetied, much to the credit of the Aces
themselves and their capable coach. Bill Bill
ings.
The Herald hopes the Christmas partv will
g ■ over very successfully and is equally as
hopeful that the Aces will return home in pos
session cf the State chamnirnship, and that
many people will attend and enjoy both cf the
affairs.
Shop Early
Fach year about this time merchants begin
to advise us to “Buy early—and avoid the
Christ"'as rush.” That is always good advice.
And this year, it would seem, it is better than
ever. For. according to the Chamber of Com
merce cf the United States, Christmas sales,
auto sales excluded, will total more than seven
per cent above those of the 1955 season, for a
new all-time record. The dollar total for No
vember and December is forecast at $31.1 bil
lion -The Chamber also observed that the
1956 retail boom is healthier than last year’s,
reflecting a more normal expansion in popula
te n and personal income.
This season the millions of people who flock
through America’s retail stores, in search of
either holiday gifts or the routine things we
buv at. all seasons, will be offered an almost be
wildering assortment of wares from which to
rh"v"-. Thev will see the best and most at
tractive standards of display, sanitation, adver
tising and promotion. They will, with few ex
ceptipns, be met by frfehdly, courteous and
helpful sales people. They will—unless their
want'* arc unusual indeed—find exactly what
they are looking for. And they would do well
to consider what has made ali this abundance '
possible. The most important force in that has !
been the competitive, free enterprise system, in
whicb-nc one has a monopoly on anything, and
in which the rewards go to those who please the
public mest, and who offer the best value for |
the dollar. I

“ “Frbhe Wdihnacht and Gluckliches Neujahr”
is printed on a greeting caFd received Friday
from Lieut. John M. Harney, who is stationed
at Heidelburg, Germany. Maybe because John
thought I didn’t know what the message meant,
he wrote the following: “This is to wish all
my friends in Edenton a very merry Christmas
and happy New Year.” Anyway, one thing is
certain, John did his Christmas mailing early,
which some of us over here will most likely
not do despite the urging op the part of Post
Office officials to do so.

I j •
Here’s one. who with Rick Allsbrook, had the
nerve to go fishing Saturday as cold as it was.
It would have been more comfortable to fish
in the bath tub at home and we would have
raught just as many fish. At any rate, with
the scientists devoting so much time to the
atom bomb, why can’t we get a few of ’em to
come to Edenton to find out where the fish
have gone or why the scudders will not bite?
o
With Edenton’s Christmas party scheduled
to be held Friday afternoon and the Edenton
Aces playing in Burlington Friday night for
I the State Class A football championship, there
is quite a conflict and each will keep some
people from one or the other of the two big af
fairs. Those who will accompany the Aces
must leave before the Christmas party and for
these vvhb wait to see the parade and party it*
will be too late to go to Burlington. To be sure
the crowd who remain at home will have a
(t-H time and here’s hoping the crowd going
to Burlington will also have a good time by see
ing the Aces come home with the State Class
A championship.
o
This week the Electric & Water Department
beys installed the Christmas decorations in the
business section. The lights will be turned on
j just prior to the Christmas parade and party
l Friday night when the Christmas season will
be ushered in Edenton. It’s still over three
weeks until Christmas, but not too early to
have the Christmas spirit—which should pre
vr’i the year around instead of only a few
weeks.
o
Last week I made a miscue about the num-
I ber of employees remaining in Edenton in con
| nection with the new dial telephone system. I
said there are only two, when as a matter of
fact there are seven. The seven include: Mrs.
Luther Keeter and Mrs. Jim -Keet#r.-informa
tion operators; Mrs. E. W. Spires and Mrs. Na
than Owens, collectors; Melvin Harrell, re
oairman; Eugene Carpenter, equipment man,
and Johnnie Halsey, service man. Anyway,
here’s one who sometimes forgets about the
dial system and in the rush picks up the re
ceiver listening for “Number, please.”
o
Edenton has a new cop in the person of Wat
lord Hill Phelps, who went on duty Tuesday.
| He succeeds, Paul H. Pope, who, after being
, r n the police force two and a half months, re-
I rigned to return to his home town, Dunn, to
I enter business. Mr. Phelps, a native of Merry
Hill, before coming to Edenton was a member
! of the Suffolk Police Department and says it’s
J nice “to get back home.” He and his wife are
! making their home with Mrs. Phelps’ grand
father, Frank Rogerson.
o
\\ hile not living in Edenton at present, one
of the most interested fans of the Edenton Aces
; is Lieut. George Rorrer, who last year attended
j all of the football games and wrote up the
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THTTRSDAT. NOVEMBER 59, 1956,
stories for The Herald. Friend
George for a while was at Nor
folk arid in a letter he wrote:
“It’s the last place l expected
to be right now and since I
never lost anything here, I’d
just as soon be with my wife
and baby.” He also wrote to
Coach Bill Billings, telling him
l that if the Aces didn’t win the
State championship, he’d come
back to Edenton and write a
nasty column. Anyway, George
is pulling for the Aces just as
much as any of the Edenton
fans. And here’s hoping he’ll
not have to write that nasty
column.
o
Just as we were going to
press I was informed that a
bake sale will be held at the
NAAS PX Wednesday, De
cember 5 and that all Fidelis
Club members are urged to
bake for this sale.
o—
Snow filled the air Saturday
night, much to the delight of
many, but by Sunday morning
it had disappeared. Youngsters
were disappointed, but farmers
who have net picked their pea
nuts were satisfied.
Universities are full of knoxvl-'
edge; the freshmen bring a little in!
and the seniors take none away,:
and knowledge accumulates.
