Important For Farmers
i What should be a very important event for
; farmers in Chowan County are the ASC elec-
I tions which are scheduled to be held today
(Thursday). These community elections will
ta held in the county’s three designated agri
l, Cultural communities, with polls open from
| 7\A. M,, to 6 P. M.
The best way to prevent election difficul
ties and the only way to assure that the best,
i possible committeemen will be elected is for
farmers to turn out in goodly numbers and'
cast their votes for those in their respective
communities who are most capable of assist
ing in the administration of all A9C pro
grams.
farmer should familiarize himself
with the slate of nominees for his respective I
■ community and vote for the men who are best j
' qualified to serve them.
Credit Where Due
» 1 The hog may seem a humble resident of
earth, llut, if he were given his just des
serts, he'd be cited for 9,000 years of loyal
. service to mankind.
tr That point is made in a booklet telling
► the story of pork which has just been issued
by the American Meat Institute. Thousands
{ of years before Christ man began to adapt
the wild hog to fit his needs. In ancient
Rome the great poet Virgil gave thanks to
the gods for corn to fatten hogs into fine
hams and sausages. Long ago in Egypt hogs
were considered sacred and were kept for the
sole purpose of sacrifice on certain feast
days.
Anyone who thinks the hog is stupid should
think again. According-to a study made by
Cornell University, the pig is the most in
telligent animal in America. On top
q{ that, he is a perfect conservationist, who
will eat whatever his master provides, and is
a prolific meat-making machine.
All honor to the immortal hog!
You Earn More Than You Think
Employees of 1,064 big and little business
firms throughout the country averaged sl,-
in fringe benefits in 1959, according to a
report by the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States.
' The Chamber found that employes aver
age $22.80 in fringe benefits for every SIOO
in wages. Social Security, unemployment
compensation, workmen’s compensation and
other legally required employe benefits ac
counted for $4.20 of that. Private pension
and insurance programs, separation pay, and
other agreed-upon payments came to $7.20.
Paid vacations, holidays, rest periods, sick
leaves, and other payments for time not work
ed added up to $6.90.* And profit-sharing
payments, bonuses and similar payments were
wcf!h SI.BO.
The Chamber also found that 90 per cent
of the companies had employe joension pro
grams, and all but two per cent had insur
ance programs and paid vacations.
We’re better pafS than most of us realize.

Chowan County Commissioners met Friday of
last week instead .of Monday of this week due to
Day—and so did the gnats. Some of the
Commissioners complained while slapping at the
gnats, but Commissioner Raleigh Peele said,
“Why you don’t know nothing. You should be
in Rocky Hock, where we really have gnats. I
feel as though I’m out of them in here.” Any
way. the bloomin’ gnats almost make me lose
what religion I have when I’m trying to write
with the devilish' things crawling up my nose,
in my eyes and even under my specks where I
can’t smack at ’em. But their days are numbered
for Mr. Jack Frost isn’t too far away, which will
mean the end of the gnats for a spelL You see
there’s always something pleasant to look for
ward to —but then I almost forget about the oil
bill with the gnats gone.

Arriving in the office too late to appear else
where was the information that the Edenton
High School Hornets will open their football
season tonight (Thursday) at 8 o’clock on Hicks
Field. The Hornets will tangle with the Lewis
ton Bulldogs and a battle royal is expected.
Expected to start the game for the Hornets will
be Lawrence Alford and Sherman Horton, ends;
Richard Stallings and Albert Johnson, guards;
Marshall Jordan, center; Ernest Goodwin and
George Mizelle, tackles; Joe Blount, Lewis Hor
ton, William Jordan and Johnny Bonds, back
field. The school band will be on hand, as well
as the majorettes and cheerleaders to provide
entertainment prior to the game and during the
half time period. We’ll know there’s a game
going on out there!
—o
And speaking about football. Carroll Fore
hand, Bubba Hopkins and Jerry Tolley were very
happy Friday night when this trio chalked up
five touchdowns between them against the Cam
den Rebels. But they were not half as happy
and proud as Douglas Sexton, who made his
first touchdown for the Edenton Aces. Douglas
is only a freshman. His pappy, Bill Sexton, and
his uncle, Calvin Sexton, were gridiron war
j horses years ago for the Edenton school, so that
j young Sexton, no doubt, has the football fever
I in his bones and seems to have the making of a
star performer to follow in the footsteps of his
dad and uncle., Another proud Edenton player
also was Jimmy White. Jimmy kicked his first
field goal for extra point in a regular game, but
the Aces were off sides and the play was called
. back. After the game Jimmy, a lineman, said.
“Shucks. I made my first point in a football
game and then they took it away from me.”
Anyway, Jimmy played a steller game, inter -
i eepting a pass and almost getting away for a
touchdown, and being in the majority of tackles
when the Rebels had the ball. He was full of
himself and here’s hoping he causes the Roanoke
Rapids Yellow Jackets just as much trouble.
o
Although at the outset of Friday night’s game
it appeared as though a tight game was in pros
pect, the Aces, after the first quarter, went into
high gear to run rough shod over the Camden
Rebels to the tune of 38-0 and even then prac
tically all of the reserves saw some action. How
ever. Roanoke Rapids is on deck tomorrow (Fri
day) night, and they’ll no doubt put up a much
stronger opposition than did Camden. The Aces
will be out for another victory, but at the same
time Roanoke Rapids Yellow Jackets will also be
trying to avenge last year’s 25-6 defeat at the
hands of the Aces. The band, majorettes and
cheerleaders will be on hand to make the game
interesting, so let’s all turn out and give the
Aces our support.
» -o—J—*-
While Rudolph Dail did a pretty good job over
the loudspeaker at Friday night’s football game,
the press box didn’t seem the same without Bus
Wozelka occupying his usual seat. Wonder why
Bus can’t get a job in Edenton—especially dur
ing the football season.
o
Various branches of county government have
presented their needs for office space in the
hotel building when it is changed into an office
building. The only trouble is that the building
has only one first floor, for most of the depart
ments would rather be on the ground floor.
o
Football has about taken over the stage, but
the Rocky Hock baseball team hasn't thrown in
• the towel yet. The boys were defeated Tuesday
night by Colerain 3-1, and plan to play Perry
.town Friday, night on the Chowan High School
diamond. This will be a homecoming -game with
a door prize to be awarded. The team sports a
17 win and 7 loss record for the season, which
isn’t bad for any baseball club.

Northeastern Milling Company will observe
open house Saturday, September 10, from 8 A. M.
to 4 P. M. The event is planned in order for
people to meet the new manager, Marvin Wil
son,son, and to inspeci the plant. Free refresh
ments will be served and five prides awarded,
including 25 fryers, $lO in merchandise, one ton
free grinding and mixing, $2 in cash and 10
pounds of dog food. The concern hopes many
people will attend the open house observance.
o
Reports are to the effect that rockfish are bit
ing like the dickens in Albemarle Sound. The
only trouble is that a lot of ’em are under 12
inches and must be thrown back—only to die
and float on the water. What one fisherman
asked was if it was worse for the fish slightly
under the limit to be thrown back aryd die than
to take ’em home to be eaten?

Letter To Editor
RESENTS ACTION
Dear Editor;
I have been reading with the
utmost disgust where some
schools in the State of North
Carolina are refusing the appli
cation of Indian students.
America is the “melting pot”
of the world and according to
the democratic tradition of the
United States, all men are
equal, from log cabin to White
House, etc.
I would venture to say with
out fear of successful contra
diction that this same school
that refuses admission to the
American Indian has a mixture
of German, Dutch, Irish, etc., in
the!? students now enrolled. If
we wish to come right down to
the fine points of the issue,
the Indian is the only true
American!
It seems bad enough that our
ancestors stole the Indian’s coun
try and pushed them back on
desolate reservations, but now
that we are an educated peo
ple we add to the sins of our
ancestors by denying them free
and equal rights. How can we
expect foreign nations to re
spect democracy? Actually, we
are “our own worst enemy.” I
would venture to say that “Red”
newspapers in the Soviet Union
have a “Hay Day” over such sit
uations as this.
It is my desire that this let- 1
ter may be printed in your
newspaper and that a copy of
the paper be placed upon the
desk of the high school superin
tendents where this deplorable
condition exists.
No, 1 am not an Indian, but
am a mixture of Dutch, Eng
lish and Irish, and yet attended
schools of my choice. If I had
Indian biood in my veins I
would be proud, however, to at
least have a trace of the “real
American" in my blood.
Yours for Democracy,
Verne Gainer.
P. S. I am a veteran of World
War II with 3'i years in the
South Pacific.
