A Fair Question
Traffic deaths during a single month have
shot over the 100 mark more times than can
easily be counted.
But October, November and December
seem extra savage. Motor Vehicles Depart
ment officials call them the killer months
and with good reason.
In October, this year, 125 died. Only four
other months have been bloodier trafficwise
since records have been kept.
Back through the years, the three deadly
months hung up grisly tabs like these.
October 1941—152 dead.
November 1941 —145 dead.
October 1955 —137 dead.
December 1955 —134 dead.
Will this year, for you, end on the calen
dar—or on the highway?
A “Week” For Merchants
There’s small doubt that this country suf
fers a superfluity of “weeks” designed to hon
or some institution or other. It’s a matter of
too much of a basically good thing. How
ever, some of the observances do deserve the
national interest and attention they seek.
That’s certainly true of “National Retail
Merchants Week,” which is scheduled for
January 30-February 4 of next year.
Plans are well under way now for seeing
to it that the week is properly observed. Var
ious non-retail organizations are providing
support —among them the Bureau of Adver
tising of the American Newspaper Publish
ers Association and the Television Bureau
of Advertising. The primary objective is to
give us all a better understanding of what
modern retail merchandising has done on our
behalf.
That is a truly big story. For mass mer
chandising is the full and equal partner of
our justly vaunted system of mass produc
tion—neither could be successful without the
other. The chains pioneered the mass mer
chandising concept many years ago. but they
had no patent on it. Other types of mer
chants have adapted it to their operations,
and earned in return a full measure of public
patronage. It is based on the principle of
big turnover at small unit profits. The big
turnover gives the merchant an adequate total
profit. The small unit profit assures the
consumer that his dollar will go as far as
possible.
Retailing’s services to this country are enor
mous. The coming “Merchants” week will
recognize and pinpoint them.
Advice For Castro
The following editorial is reprinted from
the San Francisco Chronicle:
‘ The Government of Cuba, which has been
busily seeking ways to support itself, has
found time to make a handsome and help
ful gesture to a small neighbor, the consti
tutional Crown Colony of British Guiana.
The Castro government has granted Guiana
a $5 million loan, and has agreed to buy Gui
ana rice at a premium price.
‘‘We have some advice for Fidel Castro:
“Look out!
“We, as a Nation, have learned by rude
experience, Senor Castro.
“Beware of befriending your small neigh
bors. First thing you know, you will be
branded an ‘imperialist aggressor’ and you
know what that means.”
Death Os A Free Press
One thing dictators can’t stand is a free
press.
Cuba has provided the world with another i
tragic example of that truism.
One by one the newspapers which were in I
any way cf the Castro government have been
silenced. The latest to suffer this fate was ]
the distinguished Prensa Libre. Because of
an effort to publish an editorial in which it
said that the Castro revolution was employ
ing “the strategy of Goebbels and dialectic
tactics of communism,” it was taken over by
its workers, who are members of a govern
ment-controlled union. Its directors took re
fuge in a foreign embassy.
William H. Cowles, president of the Inter-
American Press Association, states: “The
confiscation of Prensa Libre by the workers
of that newspaper means that Fidel Castro
has crushed or seized all Cuban newspapers
opposed to Ms policies or critical of the in
creasing communism influence in his regime.”

There was sort of a party in the press box
at Friday night’s football game, for not only
did I climb up the steps with hot coffee, but
Bill Cozart also brought along a stomped
down good cake. I made the coffee and Bill
swears he made the cake with his lily-white
hands. He invited Mrs. John Mitchener to
the press box for a cup of coffee and a piece
of cake, but she turned down the invitation,
saying that if I had my pipe in the press box
she doubts if she could eat cake (the cruel
thing). Then, too, the cheerleaders came
into the press box. Looks like somebody is
mighty anxious to have sweet young things
come into the press box lately and some of
the “old heads” apparently have their minds
more on the beautiful cheerleaders and ma
jorettes than they have on the ball game.
Anyway, the gals came up to record a lusty
cheer for the radio broadcast, but they were
too late for coffee and cake. The Aces are
now scheduled to play Garner in Greenville
Friday night, November 18, for regional hon
ors, and if the weather doesn’t warm up a bit,
a lot of Edenton fans will be dragging coffee
(and maybe something else) along to the
game to help keep warm. Here’s hoping the
Aces come out on top!
o
Maybe the county has an antique that very
few people know about. On Monday morn
ing when little Earl Goodwin Chesson began
pulling names out of the box for jury duty,
Gilliam Wood asked. “How old is that jury
box?” Well, it must have some age to it, for
everyone present said it has been in use ever
since they can remember.
o
And speaking about Earl Chesson, who is
a grandson of Sheriff Earl Goodwin, he, like
a lot of boys his age, isn’t so fond of going to
school. One day he was not very anxious to
go to school and his mother told him, “Why,
son, everybody has to go to school.” The
boy hesitated a few moments and then asked,
“.Mama, did Adam and Eve have to go to
school, too?” Well, did they?
o
After serving over 21 years as a County
Commissioner, Raleigh Peele attended his last
meeting in that capacity Monday morning.
Os course, he’ll attend the December meeting
of the board, but his principal item of busi
ness will be to pick up his check for the year’s
work. Raleigh has made a mighty good
County Commissioner and his opinions on im
portant matters will be greatly missed by the
other Commissioners. He’s been the “official
bill stamper” and one of his cardinal virtues
was to scan over each bill so that the county
would not pay out any more money than they
had to. Here’s one who will also greatly miss
sitting beside him at the Commissioners’
meetings.
o .
Edenton’s two star photographers were on
the job Monday. At the Commissioners’
meeting Jim Griffin was jumping on and off
chairs to get a good picture of the Commis
sioners. Then at Town Council's-, meeting.
Jimmy Ricks climbed up on the counter, then
on a chair to get a good picture of the Town
Councilmen. Both pictures were taken at
the request of the Institute of Government
for use at the dedication of the Joseph Palmer
Knapp Building. I’ve understood that the
idea is to hang the pictures of all County
Commissioners and Town Councilmen on the
walls and then I was told they wanted the
pictures to be deposited in the cornerstone.
Well, if the latter is the case,, it doesn’t mat
ter much if the two Jims got good pictures or
not. And while at the Commissioners’ meet
ing Jim Griffin put in a request, on behalf of
the Lions Club, for suitable quarters in the
Hotel Joseph Hewes building when the county
takes it over for an office building.
o
Things are getting sort of hifalutin at Town
Council meetings. On Monday night a pitch
er of ice water was on the table and a cup at
each Councilmen’s seat. Well, the new addi
tion is rather appropriate, for there’s some
mighty long-winded meetings, so that a little
water is needed to pick up some steam. The
pitcher and cups are very attractive and may
be the assistant cleark, Miss Celia Spivey, had
something to do with it.
o
A lot of people should be feeling pretty
good today, for Mrs. Inez Moran called jnst
before this column was finished to say that
the bank on Wednesday afternoon mailed out
Christmas savings checks. A total of $62,-
000 was mailed which will be very welcome to
those who put aside a little each week-
o — ,
Jira Roberson over at the- Chamber of Com
merce office, the other day received a gang
of literature and some samples of pare aroma
printing compounds. The idea is to scent
newspaper ads or other kind of printing and
included a number of kinds ad aroma. Bat

Closing Me For
HH Ao* Hearing
About 530 Farmers In
Chowan County Now
Signed up to Partici
pate In Program
With the 1960 Agricultural
Conservation Program closing in
just a few more days, approxi
mately 530 Chowan farmers have
signed up to participate in the
program, according to figures re
leased by A. C. Griffin, chairman
of the Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation County Com
mittee.
Griffin reports, however, that
of this figure many farmers
have qualified for Federal cost
sharing with the exception of
reporting performance of prac
tices which have already been
approved and carried out. '
He pointed out that the Agri
cultural Conservation Program
for this year is still open to all
farmers and urged farmers who
have carried out practices to re
port performance to the ASC
county office manager in the
county. Farmers who have not
yet completed performance of
previously approved practices
were also urged to complete the
practices and report perform
ance. >
In Griffin’s words, “Conserva
tion of the soil and water re
sources is so vital to the welfare
of the State that we all must do
everything we can to see that
only good conservation farming
practices are carried out on the
land.”
Under this year’s Agricultural!
Conservation Pregrain, as well as |
the program planned for next
year, conservation practices
which help to build up and
store potential productive capa
city in the soil are being stress
ed. This, Griffin says, is mighty
important at this time when
thousands of acres of North
Carolina farmland are being tak
en out of production of allotted
crops.
“Saving for the future has al
ways been a good policy,” Grif
fin said, “but it’s still better
when applied to our life-sus
taining topsoil!”

•
Chowan County Commission
ers are proceeding with their ef
forts to collect delinquent taxes
with Tax Attorney John Shack
elford instructed to enter suits
which will bring in the taxes

On Monday the Commission
ers agreed upon the payment to
Mr. Shackelford for this work,
some of which a
’deal of time in” research.
There are two forms which
can be used in entering tax
suits, a short form and a long
form, the latter being necessary
when it is necessary to contact
all persons who might have an
interest in the property involved.
The Commissioners agreed to
pay Mr. Shackelford for the
short forms 50% of the first
SSO or a minimum of sls.
The fee for the long form is
to be determined by the clerk
of court with a minimum fee
of $75.

back of the Eden Motel. After
a lengthy discussion the Council
men agreed to allow the motel
[ to use the street, now practical
ly blocked by a swimming pool,
but felt that by giving a lease
might set up a precedent which
could become embarrassing.
Some consideration was also
given to a drainage problem cn
East King and Queen Streets,
but it was pointed out that it is
not the policy of the town to
place pipe on private property.
The Councilmen also gave

who's literally picking your pockets—your tractor. ;
Prod? What more do you rifeed than this—authoritative tests
by impartial engineers at thd University of Nebraska proved
beyond doubt that during a year's work, a tractor can lose as
much as 20 per cent of its power. Such power loss means extra
hours in the field to do the same work ... gallons of fuel pouring
out the exhaust. And most tragic—fanner-owners were not
aware of this power loss.
Your tractor, too, needs a check-over. Perhaps only a tune-up
is required. Regardless ... in our shop, only the necessary
work will be done; our skilled mechanics will do the work
