Hats Off To ’Em Edenton’s Aces on Friday night lost the Eastern Glass A football championship to Southern Pines in a hard-fought game 7-6 in Goldsboro. Though defeated for the Eastern crown, the Aces have ev ery reason to be admired and complimented by the Jtost of fans who stood by them at home and abroad during the season. While the Aces at times during the season dis played a little better brand of football than they did Friday night, they played an outstanding game and were defeated by a very good and wide-awake opponent who knew they were in a football game after it was all over. Coaches Bill Billings and Johnny Morris, as well as the Aces themselves are to be commended for the showing made this season. At the beginning of the season the coaches didn’t have much of ] a nucleum around which to build a strong ma chine. Most of the boys were inexperienced and the opinion was not infrequently given that the Aces this year would not have a chance to even win the Albemarle Conference Championship, with the opposition they were scheduled to encounter, much less go as far as to play for the Eastern Championship. The boys have come a long way and have over come their inexperience with a desirb to play the game, so that some opponents, with the Aces as the underdog, were bowled over in spite of ap parent odds. Few of this year’s squad will be lost by graduation, so that with quite a few remaining, the prospects appear very good as to a strong team next year. During the season, due to the nature of football, boys were given a great deal of credit, which they justly deserved. However, on a football team there are those who play just as valuable a game but whose efforts too many times go unnoticed. The Herald, therefore, does not single out any par ticular player for the success of the 1958 season, but rather congratulates every member of the squad, as well as the coaches, for the fine showing made despite a very light and inexperienced team to start with. Important Elections December 15th is Referendum Day for many farmers in Eastern North Carolina in that they will be given an opportunity to vote on that day on the continuation of the peanut assessment, the con tinuation and increase in Tobacco Associates, on the tobacco quotas and on cotton quotas. This is a definite advantage to the growers in that the four referenda are combined and all of them can be voted on in one trip. The peanut assessment idea, whereby growers could vote to assess them selves and use the funds thus derived to promote the production, marketing and consumption of pea nuts was first put into effect in Virginia at lc per 100 pounds. Then in 1953, North Carolina voted in lc per 100 pounds. Seeing the need for in creased funds, the peanut growers in 1955 in North Carolina increased their assessment to 2c per 100 pounds. In 1957, Alabama, seeing the successes in North Carolina and Virginia, voted to assess themselves 5c per 100 pounds and then in 1958, Georgia, seeing the advantages, voted to assess themselves 5c per 100 pounds. Texas and Okla homa are now in the process of getting legislation passed so that they, too, will be able to assess themselves and raise funds to promote their pea nuts. The fact that Georgia, Alabama, Texas and Okla homa are coming in on the assessment basis, fol lowing North Carolina and Virginia, is certainly endorsement to the success of this program. The peanut growers of North Carolina who are aware of the activities of the North Carolina Pea nut Growers Association or who will study the activities of the association, will certainly feel'that ! a continuation of the 2c per 100 pounds assessment is to their benefit. Detailed information of the ac tivities of the association will be made available through press releases, radio, county agents, voca tional agricultural teachers, and other agencies, to all farmers prior to the referendum. It is hoped that the peanut growers will turn out in large numbers and give strong support to a favorable vote on the peanut assessment. It is even more important now with the other states competitively promoting their type of peanuts with more money than is being raised in North Carolina that all support the assessment referendum in order that the North Carolina Peanut Growers Association can continue and expand its activities in promoting the North Carolina grown peanut. Carrots For The Rabbits j- Have you made your Christmas Seal contribu tion One hundred of your neighbors have, ac cording to Ralph Parrish, treasurer of the Chowan County Tuberculosis Association. Are you one of toe 2,100 who haven’t? Did you say to yourself, “They won’t miss my gift.” But your small gift is the whole point of the Christmas Seal Sale. It was founded on the prin ciple that small contributions from the many, many people who want to see TB licked will do the job. The TB association people don’t high-pressure their Mends and neighbors into contributing. They, don’t solicit in stores and factories or ask for pay- p[| Os Seen Q By Buff With Thanksgiving to be observed Thursday of this week, the Rev. Walter E. Isenhour of Taylorsville, N. C., sent me the following poem: THANKSGIVING For clouds that send their drops of rain And give the little seeds their birth; For fields that yield their crops of grain, And skies that shine above the earth; For mountains, valleys, plains and hills That make the landscape grand to see; For oceans, rivers, streams and rills, >0 God, in thanks we look to Thee. ‘For birds that sing their cheerful songs That greet us at the break of day; For ev’ry heart of man that longs To bless us all along life’s way; For food to eat and clothes to wear, For friends and loved ones, homes and beds, For health and strength and daily care, O God, in thanks we bow our heads. For our great privilege to live Where schools and churches dot the land, Where men their best to others give In time and service that is grand; Where Christians love and pray and sing And add dear brothers to their rolls; Where men to right and freedom cling, O God, in thanks we lift our souls. For Thy good Word and saving grace, And for our glorious flag unfurled; And for the right to fill our place In this great nation of the world; For Christ who came from heaven's throne And died up the cruel tree, That He might crown us as His own, O God, we thank and worship Thee. o Here’s one who was fortunate enough to attend the annual Home Demonstration Clubs’ annual | husbands' banquet held at Wards Community , Building Wedesday night of last week. And all ' I can say is that there are some stumped-down good cooks in that neck of the woods. It was the fartherest north in Chowan County that I have ever eaten a meal and, with no reflection on other meals I’ve had with home demonstra tion clubs, it was as good as any meal where I have stuck my legs under a table. It was fittin’ for a king. o And then the women had a pile of favors at each place so that it was almost necessary to have a small traveling bag to put ’em in. But sometimes the favors are wasted. Take for in stance a comb which was at Winks Bond’s place, a toothbrush at Raleigh Peele’s place and a plas tic purse at my place. Winks has no hair to tidy up, so the comb is of no use to him. Ra leigh Peele has no teeth, so he needn’t brush his teeth, and T have no money to put in the purse, so—well, what the hec, it was a fine banquet. o— Just about the most popular question asked Thursday night and Friday morning was, “Are you going to Goldsboro Friday night?” I heard one good answer when I. E. Halsey, Jr., asked Jack Hardison the same question out at the Tasty-Freeze. Jack’s reply was “Well, my car has wheels on it, hasn’t it?” o And speaking about the football game, a large crowd of Edenton fans accompanied the Aces to Goldsboro. The band, too, was on hand, and presented a very outstanding performance at half time, for which they were generously ap plauded by friend and “foe.” An interested spectator on the Edenton side was Congressman Herbert Bonner and when I spied him walking in I went to his seat, asking, “What are you doing in this neck of the woods?” Herbert, all diked out in a loud mackinaw, replied, “Why, I’m here trying to help Edenton win the Eastern cham pionship.” Well, we didn’t win and if Friend Herbert didn't have any more influence in the Congress of the United States than he had on the Goldsboro football field Friday night, darned if I'd vote for him any more. o At this season of the year there are a number of campaigns in progress to raise money. I heard one colored man say to another on Monday morning, “We had a meeting Sunday to plan to raise some money and you weren’t there.” The other fellow hesitated a bit and replied, “You know one thing, I met with myself last night arid found out that I don’t have any money.” o Just about out of gas and energy, too, in order to print The Herald a day earlier this week on account of Thanksgiving. Here’s hoping all of us will find enough time Thursday to count some of our blessings and thank Him, who has been so good to us. roll deductions. They don’t ring doorbells or so licit by phone. They trust implicitly in a letter explaining why money is needed to fight TB, a letter that you receive and answer in private. In the more than half a century of the Christmas Seal Sale their faith has been rewarded annually. But you’re still asking, “What difference will my few dollars make?” Here’s one small example out of many. In a laboratory in Philadelphia rabbits are nibbling on carrots. These rabbits, which look like any other rabbits, have been bred for genera tions for one purpose to find out why some get sick when infected with TB germs and others do not. Some day this research may lead to a meth od of making us all resistant to tuberculosis. Christmas Seal funds help support this research. But if that support has to be withdrawn because there isn’t enough money? If there aren’t enough carrots to feed those rabbits? How about it? Send your contribution today. Selfish individuals contribute very little to ward a better world. People who get tired easily seldom accomplish much worthwhile work. Going to church is a habit that one should cultivate; there is little danger in it. An honest man, after reviewing his own life, will be inclined to let youth chart its own course.

Assisting the jurist is Charles H, Mitchell, court messenger.,' I SENATOR Ek 1 SAM ERVIN JlLgk Washington—From what I have read about the general legisla tive program for the next Con gress suggested by Majority Lead er Lyndon Johnson there seems to be encouraging signs that over whelming Democratic control of the State will continue to pro duce responsible legislation. This is not to say that there will not be squabbles with the Republican Administration in the White House or even smooth sailing among Democrats at all times. Nol Party-Line I have not minimized the dan ger in which the South finds it self with respect to changing Sen ate Rule XXII. But that danger is not a party line affair. It mushrooms from the mistaken no tion that much desirable legisla tion has been killed or long de layed by the use of unlimited de bate in the Senate. Such is not the case. The device of unlimit ed debate is not a whim of so called Southern conservatives. Historically speaking it has been used by minorities from other sec tions to carry on an educational process in the Senate against leg- 1 islation which they considered harmful to the country. Unfor tunately when Southerners pur sue this same process they are charged immediately with a fili buster "no matter how worthy or lofty the reason. The civil rights debates in the last session of Congress were maintained on a high level. When the debates started few people in the country had taken time to study the proposals in the bills. As an example of this truth we can recall the uphill battle that had to be fought on the jury trial feature. Had Rule XXII not been in effect it is doubtful that this debate could have been had due to the highly emotional aspects of the proposition. In this debate the South had the support of buy now and get these 5 BIG BENEFITS a 3Ea.. J a^K^MBB^BSI : ■'^■■•
