Chowan County Agent ' — f .The 1959 Community Progress Contest awards programs are 4 scheduled January 25 and 26. to plans made by the Chowan County Agricultural 'Workers’ Council at their regu lar meeting on January 5. The Negro community awards program will be held at White Oak School on Monday night, -January 25, at 7:30 o’clock. The white community awards program will be\ held at Chowan High School on Tuesday night, January 26, at 7:30 o’clock. Five communities participated in each group. The scrap book reports are very good and show the excellent progress made by these communities in 1959. The 1960 .Community Progress contest year is here. Each com munity should carefully consider their needs and plan for projects to be concentrated on during this year. The agricultural workers plan to meet with com munity leaders and assist them in working out the 1960 plans. The 1959 41H Corn Growing Contest was climaxed by a ban quet at the Edenton Lions Club on Monday night. This was the fifteenth year the Edenton Lions Club has sponsored the contest. In 1945, the first year, yields ranged from 29.7 bushels to 104.4 bushels, averaging 68.4 bushels per acre. Twenty-five members completed Lie contest. Carl ■Ober was winner with a yield of 104.4 bushels per acre. Herbert Ray Lane was second with a yield of 95.9 bushels and Louis Monds was third with a yield of 84.5 bushels per acre. In 1959, fifteen club members completed the contest. Per acre yields ranged from 64.0 bushels to 120.9 bushels, averaging 96.86 bushels. Eight of the fifteen club members made over 100 bushels of corn per acre. Jerry White, son of Mr. and j Mrs. Sidney White of Enterprise | community, made a yield of 120.9 ; bushels per acre. Jerry was win- ■ ner in the senior group, 15 years ; —of age and older, and also the county champion. Richard White, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. White of Cross Roads community, made a yield of 116.0 bushels per acre. Richard was winner in the 13-14 year age group. Tom-1 my Brabble, son of Mr. and Mrs. I J. T. Brabble of Yeopim com munity, was winner in the 10-12 year age group with a yield of 110.0 bushels per acre. We congratulate the Lions Club on its fine cooperation with Ihe boys and their dads. Four rl Club member Richard White thanked the Lions Club for the banquet. Two two-bale cotton produc tion records have been sent in to the state office for certifica tion. These high cotton yields were made by David Ober and Earl Bunch of Rocky Hock com munity in 1959. On a measured 3.7 acres, David Ober made six bales with a total weight of 2,788 pounds plus 3,102 pounds of seed cotton which was sold in the seed. Earl Bunch made 6.658 pounds of seed cotton, which was sold in the seed, on a measured 2.4 acres. Both growers planted Coker 100A variety. Treated, dehnted seed were planted at the rate of eight to ten pounds per acre. Only a few thick spots of plants were thinned. The plant stands averaged about four to five plants per foot of row. The equivalent of 600 to 700 pounds i of 5-10-10 fertilizer was applied per acre. Mr. Ober side dressed with 250 pound r of nitrate of soda. Mr. Bunch side dressed with 150 pounds of nitrate of soda and 200 pounds of 14-0-14 ner acre. Side dressings were made when plants were aboul six inches tall. The soil was Norfolk sandy loam type. We congratulate these growers on their good yields. Good yields depend on good soil, prooer fertilization, following good production practices and Plagued Day And Nightwithßladder Discomfort?

PUNCH—The ground soldier’s new Sunday punch is the “Honest John" rocket. An artillery weapon in Ihe Army Guard’s 21 infantry and six armored divisions, this gives ground forces immense firepower increase. • HISTORY In The Fore In Peace and, War v The National Guard tradition of service to country and com munity is an unbroken line which links the missile age of today with the era of the Min ute Man. Although the heroic figure of the Minute Man and the “Spir it of ‘76” have come to sym bolize the 20th Century concept of the civilian-soldier, the fact is that the National Guard tra dition is even more deeply-root ed in t'ne American past. It began, in 1 a sense, when the first set tler? patrolled the perimeters o f Jamestown and Plymouth. It flourished in the courageous ‘trained bands’ who protected settlements and opened roads through prime val forest. JV : ffm 1 n. <Tn -< i-iiiuiiv.s* - . The colonists’ philosophy was that an able-bodied man would “join the avocation of a sol dier” to whatever business, or trade happened to be livelihood. This was the philosophy which led to the reliance that was to 1.3 placed in the militia over the years. An American phe nomenon, it defied the Europ ean tradition that arms were to be borne only by“professionals’’ led by noblemen. Nevertheless. Colonial militia forces fought shoulder to shoul dcr with the British in the French and Indian Wars. They helped win the siege cf Louis bourg with skill which startled the professionals. British noble men were inclined to look down their noses at “a regiment of New England farmers and fish expressed the opinion that Eden ton was an ideal location for spring training headquarters for northern baseball teams. Edenlon Rotarians observed ladies' night with Edmund Hard ing of Washington, N. C., as the principal speaker. Trustees of the Shepard Pru den Memorial Library ware in formed that a total of 6,576 volumes were on the library shelves. Edenton Ro’arians inaugurat ed an attendance dr.ve with John Graham and C. E. Kramer chosen as leaders cf the two sides. Mrs. Lizzie Bunch -died at the heme of her sister, Mrs. Ida! Reed, at Center Hill at the age rta cirowAN herald, edenton. north Carolina. Thursday janpary u. mo. ermen led by a lumber mer chant!’’ Britain’s professionals and noblemen would meet these pro vincials again. It began, the history books tell us, at Lexington, Massa chusetts. This is where the tradition of the Minute Man got its impetus. What is now known as the “National Guard” was first the Organized Militia. The term Na tional Guard was first asso ciated with the militia in 1824 when the 2nd Battalion, 11th New York Artillery (later, the famous 7th Regiment) was se lected to serve as guard of hon or for the visiting Marquis de Lafayette. The New Yorkers promptly re-named their outfit the “National Guard” in defer ence to his “Garde Nationale.” pi great importance to the military structure of the U. S. was the passage of, first, the Dick Act of 1903 which set the stage for modernizing the Guard along the same lines as the Regular Army. The Nation al Defense Act of 1916 official ly bestowed the title “National Guard” upon the elements of the old Organized Militia, or dered the- organization of the Guard to conform to that of the Army itself. This estab lished the Guard firmly as a part-of the Nation’s organized peacetime establishment as well as an integral part of the Army of trio United States when in active service. In 1016 some 159,000 Guards men were mobilized for duty along the Mexican Border. In World War I the National Guard furnished 17 divisions. Eleven of them saw service un der General Pershing in the AEF. Os eight U. s divisions •of 101 years. Lloyd C. Bunch was installed I as sachem of Chowan Tribe of Red Men. ROTARIANS MEET TODAY Edenlon Rotarians will meet! ! this (Thursday) afternoon at 1, ! o’clock in the Parish House. J. P, Ricks, Sr., will be in charge 1 ! of the program and President 1 Jimmy Earnhardt urges every : Rotarian to be present. j ___________________ AUXILIARY MEETING The Auxiliary of Ed Bond Post No. 40 of the American Legion will meet Tuesday night at 8 o’clock at the home of Mrs. J. I ; Paul Holoman, president. Mrs. j I Holcman requests a full a*tend- j ance. Scnool Training Program Last year, for example, more than 8000 Guardsmen took active duty courses at U.S. Army ser vice schools. Courses range from one week refreshers to fullscale resident courses of ten months duration. More than 3000 Guards- . men were enrolled in Army ex tension course programs. Guardsmen who would become new second lieutenants must attend an accredited Officer Candidate School. Active Army OCS is open to Guardsmen and, in addition, 42 States new operate officer candidate pro grams based upon Fort Benning Infantry School standards. • “Training with modern equip ment under Strict professional standards, the National Guard today is ready to meet its res ponsibilities as a first-line mem ber of the U. S. military team,* says General Kerr. “We’re an effective military force today. We’ll be more ef fective tomorrow and the day after.” rated “excellent” or “superior* by the German High Command, six were National Guard divi sions. In Avgust 1940, the President of the United States ordered the National Guard into active military service. This brought into service more than 300,000 men in 18 combat divisions as well as numerous non-division al units and 29 air observation squadrons. This at one stroke doubled the strength of our traditionally meager peacetime Regular Army. Guard units and individual Guardsmen served with great distinc tion on every World War II b a 111ef r ont from Bataan to Okinawa, from North Africa to D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. w r..,i, m' 1 * In July of 1950 the U. S. en gaged communist forces in Ko rea and a “partial mobiliz ation” of our forces took place. During 1950-53, 183,000 mem bers of the National Guard saw active service. Eight infantry divisions, 22 air wings, and hundreds of other units of both the Amy and the Air Nation al Guard were ordered to duty. Two divisions were hurried to bolster our forces in Europe; two divisions and two air wings Battle-tested and time-tested, the National Guard up-to-the Minute Men are ready today just as they have always been ready, willing and able in over 300 years of service to country and community. I Edenton Divides With Williamston By BILL GCODWIN The Edenton Acelets defeated Williamston 40-32 for their first Albemarle Conference victory ol the season as the Green Wave : downed the Aces 39-26 in Wil liamston Friday night. i The Acelets jumped out to a 13-2 bulge at the first quarter and were leading 28-13 at the : half. They then froze the action | until the final horn, i Sara Relfe Smith captured the night’s scoring honors with 24 points, her finest perform-' ance to date. Beverly Morgan i contributed 10 and Mary Anne j Overton 4 to the Acelets’ cause, j Mary Rogers ‘ got 17 tallies foi | the Greenies. The actual margin of victory: came during the first half when ' the Acelet guards, fJorma Blan chard, Ida Campen and Mary Ann Hare, - took advantage of . soiyie poor shooting to shackle ' i the Williamston scoring attack. The Aces, trailing 20-14 at the half, failed to keep pace with | the tall Green Wave during the ; j final two periods. It was the 1 second conference loss for the | Aces in as many starts this sea | son. Johnny Phillips and Jeny Tol ley paced the Aces with 8 points ' aoiece.
