Check On Registration
.' Attention is called to the fact that Chowan
bounty registrars were on duty at the various
polling places last Saturday and will sit again
Saturday, October 22 and 29 from 9 A. M.,
Until, sunset for the purpose of registering
voters so. they are eligible to cast a ballot in
the general election on Tuesday, November 8.
.Invariably after every election some com
plginti are heard from voters who go to the
polls and are not permitted to cast a hallot
because their names do not appear on the
books.
It is pointed out that there are two sets of
registration books in Chowan County, one for
elections only in Edenton and one for county
or general elections. To be able to vote in
the forthcoming general election on November
8, a voter’s name must appear on the county
registration books. It is also pointed out that
a voter must have lived in the state at least
a year and in a voting precinct at least 30
days in order to vote. So if any voter has
moved from one voting precinct to another,
it is necessary for him or her to register in
die precinct in which they now live.
It is not the desire of registrars and judges
of election to deny the right to vote to any
citizen, but it is mandatory that names ap
pear on the registration books before a ballot
is issued. It Is not the fault of election offi
t.als if a voter cannot cast a ballot, but it is
the fault of the voters themselves if they do
not go to the trouble to see if they are quali
fied by being registered.
The registrars, as stated before, will sit
8C the various polling places the next two
Saturdays. October 22 and 29, so that unless
a voter is absolutely he or she is registered in
the proper books, it should behoove them to
go to their proper polling place to make sure
their names are properly recorded so that
they can cast ballots for the candidates of
their choice.
After the election will be too late to learn
that a voter had not been properly registered.
Do it one of the two next Saturdays.
Passing The Torch
The ancient Greeks had a ceremonial foot
race called “Passing the Torch". Their swift
est runners carried a lighted torch and passed
it, burning, into the hands of the next relay
of runners, sometimes from city to city, until
it reached its goal.
In our nation, we have an annual event
carrying a similar idea—a path of light to
ward a goal. However, in this event, no phy
sical exertion is involved—only faith. The
occasion is National Bible Week.
The twentieth annual observance of Bible
Week takes place October 17-23. The theme
for the Week is. "The Bible —Strength of
our Nation.”
This year also marks the twentieth anni
versary of the Laymen’s National Committee,
the interfaith organization which sponsors
the Week. The first observance of Bible
Week began on December 7th. 1941. a date
that shall endure in our history. Today, we
are again confronted with an international
crisis. Full participation by our people in
National Bible Week will help us to keep
the faith handed down by our Founding
Fathers.
Can Our Youth Be Fooled?
American youth is being wooed by the
Ccnwmmists.
J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI, reports: “In
1959, the Communist Party. U. S. A., launch
ed a major campaign with youth as its target.
The purpose was to devise a program to at
tract young blood— teenagers, students, and
marking youth — to the ranks of the Party.

Near about pandemonium broke the
press box at Hicks Field Friday night. Ii
all came about when Miss Patricia Lane, wiiu
had just been named as the 1960 Homecom
ing Queen, entered the press box for at radio
interview. The whole works forgot alf about
the football game as their attention was so
fixed on the attractive young lady that none
of ’em even thought about helping her down
the steps. Finally the spirit of chivalry rose
in Nick George so that he almost fell down
he steps himself to offer his assistance. Os
course, the new King, Freddie Ferguson, also
came in the press box. but he didn’t get near
the attention as the new Queen. Anyway the
two made a delightful couple arid received a
hunderous round of applause from the large
:rowd of Edenton students and fans when
hey were announced the winners in this very
topular annual affair. Congratulations to
both of ’em.
o
What should be a sight in this world is
likely to take place at the VFW Club Tues
day night, November 1. The club on that
date will hold a kick-off dinner as a start for
a membership drive. The way I understand
it, all members will be required to wear their
old uniform or as much of it as they can get
into in order to get in for the meal. Accord
ing to the size of some of the boys now, some
parts of ’em might be hanging out and by
the same token some of ’em will likely be lost
in the clothes they wore during the war. Any
way, the club wants and needs more members.
o
Mrs. Irene Dunbar has had an unusual
number of friends call at her house lately,
the main attraction being a splendid colored
television set. Here's one putting in a bid
so look at the Tournament of Roses on New
Vear’s Day. But then maybe so many oth
ers will want to see this beautiful sight in
color that she’ll have to charge admission.
However, Mrs. Dunbar is delighted with the
color television and has derived a great deal
of pleasure in having her friends enjoy it
with her. The only trouble is that some of
ihe programs keep her up too bloomin’ late.
o
Edenton's Aces had just about a good prac
tice game when they played Weldon Friday
night and rolled up a score of 52-0 with re
serves pigling the greater portion of the
game. It was when Coach Bill Riflings sent
in the third team that Bill Cozart, Nick
George, Cecil Fry and Rudolph Dail began
speculating about asking Coach Billings to
send in the Varsity Club boys next. It didn’t
materialize, however, because Nick and Bill
both wanted to play quarterback. It’s good
they didn’t play, for we’ll be needing ’em at
the game Friday night.
o
And speaking about Friday night’s game,
the Aces will hardly have such an easy time
with the Perquimans Indians in Hertford.
Remember last year, when the Aces were al
so greatly favored to win, and came out lucky
with a tie score? The Indians, as well as
Ahoskie and Plymouth, have their sights set
to upset the Aces, so that all three of these
teams will no doubt be fired up to throw a
monkey wrench in'the Aces’ ambition to go
through the season undefeated, especially in
the Albemarle Conference. For any of the
above three teams to defeat the Aces will be
considered a very successful season irrespec
tive of their previous record for the season.
The Aces know this, and for that reason are
taking nothing for granted, even on paper, so
that three successive hard-fought games might
be on the agenda for the high-flying Aces.
With favorable weather Friday night just
about a corporal’s guard is likely to remain
in Edenton. for practically the whole works
will be in Hertford for about two hours. The
band will be there, too, so that the game
should be very interesting and maybe very
thrilling, too.
Or
And now it is announced that adult edu
cation classes are scheduled to be held at
John A. Holmes High School. Well, the
“students” will have at least one advantage,
for if thev misbehave, most of ’em will be
too old to have parents to reprimand or punch
’em. and surely they’ll not report to their
offspring. Anyway, like the saying goes, “A
person is never too old to learn,” so maybe
ence the Party held in Chicago in June. The
major pointy on the agenda for the two-day
conference were (1) ‘mass developments on
the campus’ and <2) ‘left-student develop
ments’. Discussed in relation to these points
were ways and, means by which young Com
munists could exploit such controversial is
sues on campuses as civil rights, ’academic j
freedom, and other so-called peace issues.” j
The Communist threat from without must
not blind us to the Communist threat from
within, which, if succetsful, would wipe out!
the very things Coramqrasm professes to pro-;
mote, namely, civil rights, academic freedom
and peace issues.

In 1947 Sports Afield Maga
zine published an article titled
“Hunting and Fishing is Big
Business.” It reported results of
one of the earliest estimates
made of how much American
outdoorsmen spend per year
when they go hunting and fish
ing. A second such article,
“Hunting and Fishing is BIG
GER Business,” appeared in
1951. Both jolted money-minded
people. The hunting and fishing
business totaled billions of dol
lars.
This year Sports Afield once
again asked outdoor writer Ar
thur H. Carhart to make another
survey on how much hunters

land fishermen are currently!
! spending. The results were even
more phenomenal than the last
two surveys.
Sportsmen who received ques
tionnaires were asked to put
down under each heading wnat
ne spent in the past 12 montns
because he went hunting and
iisnmg. Not on one trip, not on
one phase of the whole, but just
that —what was spent because he
hunted and fished.
The. 1951 tally showed 20.7 per
cent of those answering our
[queries were executives or pro-
I fessional men; in 1959, 19.1 per
jeent were in this category. In
1951, 29.2 per cent .were skilled
and unskilled laborers; in 1959,
34.4 per cent were listed in these
brackets. The other vocations
were stacked up in about the
same percentages in 1959 .as in
i 951. The actual top-group list
ings in 1959 were; executive
professional, 19.1 per cent; busi
ness, 18.9 per cent; labor, 18.9
per cent; skilled labor, 15.5 per
cent. The separation between
skilled and other labor cannot
be too closely drawn. The bal
ance of the respondents were of
fice workers, students, retired
people, farmers and still other
groups. Eighty-five per cent of
the sportsmen queried both
hunted and fished. Seven per
cent hunted only; eight per cent
fished only.
The sale of fishing licenses
would seem a sound basis from I
which to start estimating how
many outdoorsmen spent how
much in 12 months. In summing
up the probable number of peo
ple in tha United States to
which was applied the average
individual expenditure in 1951,
the estimate totaled 23 million.
In 1955 the official survey reck
oned 23 million people went
hunting and/or fishing that
year. On the same basis of in
crease, close to 28 million out
door folk would be going fishing
or hunting in 1959, Another
source estimates that 30 million
people go fishing each year. The
difference between the 20,177,605
fishing licenses actually sold in
1958 and the 30 million estimate,
lies in the number of salt-water
fishermen who do not have to
buy licenses and those anglers
who have no license requirement
where states allow pensioners,!
youngsters, women, veterans and
cane-pole anglers to go afield
without a license.
Tha tally showing travel in
dicates that the average sports
man goes- fishing and/or hunt
ing 25 times in 12 months. The
longest trip he takes averages
about 660 miles. The average.
total mileage traveled as Johni
Q. Sportsman goes afield is just 1
over 3000 miles. |
Here is how sportsmen spend
their money, by percentage of
the whole and by the average
amount per sportsman in terms
of money. The sequence, and
the items covered, are practical

One of the unknown factors in,
sportsmen’s spending has beer,
the part of the salt-water fisher
man. In the survey each man
was asked how much he spent
on. a salt-water, rod. It wasn’t
much on the aver|ge, about $5.
Between two and five times that
would be spent oq tackle and
related equipment.
The Sports Fishing Institute
supplies another indication of
the number who engage in salt
water fishing; it estimates that
there are some 5,391,000 salt
water anglers in the seaboard
states. Or, at ldast 40 per cent
of all fishermen in these states
are salt-water anglers, although
they may also in fresh wa
ter.
The burning question is: How
big is the total annual expendi
ture by sportsmen?. If “the aver
