tion District held its first meet
ing of 1959 at the Carolina Coffee
Shoppe in Elizabeth City on the
night of January 7, at 7 o’clock.
Thirteen of the fifteen members

present including two newly
elected members and one ap
pointed member. The two new
ly-elected members were Fahey
Byrum of Chowan County and
M. K. Berry of Pasquotank

Leary of Camden County, vice
chairman, and Ralph Po'cer. <•
Currituck County, secretary and

to contact district supervisors
(farmers) who have not asked for
assistance in the last two years.

they need revision.
Mr. Bunch also asked that each

Aces And Aeelets
Down Williainstoni
Edenton’s Aces and Aeelets
took their first Albemarle Con- ,
ference victories Friday night as
they played hosts to William
ston’s Green Wave.
The Aces won 35-31 and the
Aeelets by a 41-27 score. Wil
liamston’s Jayvees handed the
Little Aces their sixth straight
defeat in a thrilling overtime
contest 21-19. i
Without sharpshooter Billy •
Cooke Griffin, who was out nut's- ;
ing an ankle injury, the Aces had ,
to rely on scrape and the jump
shots of Billy Wilkins. The score
was 33-31 in favor of the A cost
with two minutes to go, but Wil- j,
liamston was stymied by a fine 1 1
block by Jack Bunch and a lay-1
up by Wilkins.
The Aces scoring were W lkins j
17, Jerry Tolley 6. Bunch 5, Elton'
Boss 4, and Johnny Phillips 3. j
Billy Wynn had 14 for the Green
Wave.
An inspired group of Aeelets ;
rose to the occasion and stomp-1,
ed the Williamston girls. The
Aeelets’ guards, paced by Norma
Blanchard. Beverly Morgan and j .
Ida dampen, put the reins on the
visitors. Time and again they
stole the bull so that the for-'
wards could produce points. Sara:
Relfe Smith took honors for . the
Aeelets in this , end with 19 tal
lies. Linda Spencer got 13. Mary:
Ann Overton 7, and Judy Elliott
two points.
Abernathy took the night's'
honors by dropping 21 points for
Williamston
Edentori’s Jayvees came so
close to taking their first win and
making it a triple vic-torv night.'
I
that hairs were pulled every-,
where. With 30 seconds, left n |
the final period. Bill Goodwin I
sank a lay-up for a 19-17 Aces' j
advantage, but the Greenics tied
it up and sent the game into an
overtime. The Aces folded and
the Green Wave took it 21-19. .
Goodwin led the Aces with 10.
points. Jimmy Patterson got 7
and Bobby Stokely 2.

Grady Stevens, chairman of the
conservation poster committee,

trict in each state sending one
district supervisor and the out

4-H Boys Engaged
In Forestry Projects
Several Chowan 4-H boys have
learned the importance and value
of forestry projects through their
club work. Leon and Lewis Ev
ans, Joe and Roy Nixon and Bil
ly Lane, all of the Oak Grove!
community, have a 4-H forestry |
project each. Leon started his j
project three years ago, and he
is the “veteran” of the group, j
He has set out approximately 3.-
000 loblolly pine seedlings and
approximately 100 red cedars.
He attended the State 4-H For
estry Camp in 1957. Leon plans
to set more loblolly seedlings this
year.
Joe and Roy Nixon have sot
out about 1.000 loblollies and
plan to set another thousand this !
year. Joe attended the State 4-H
Forestry Camp in 1958.
Lewis Evans, Roy Nixon and
Billy Bunch are junior 4-H For
estvv members, and they are very
active. Although their forestry
projects are riot as extensive as
those of Leon Evans and Joe Nix- j
on, their projects are progressing,
very well. Each of these boys,
should have a good income from
their forestry projects in a few
years.
Robert Marsh, assistant county
agent, took these 4-H forestry
, project boys on a. tour on Tues
day. December 30. They observ
ed a new tree planter in action
i on the farm of Haughton Ehring
haus of the Yeopim community
The planter is manufactured by
the Darf Corporation of Edenton
and it does good work.

tour were woodlands owned b.f
