I By Defeating Hanes High 19-7

B>n the Aces’ 30. Bovendar, York
Knd Lentz moved the ball to the
■5-yard line in six plays, from
■where Bovendar crossed the line.
■A kick by Lentz was good so
■hat the Dragons took the lead
V to 6.
■ The Aces, however, came back
■trbng and at the end of the
■quarter, with Hopkins carrying
■he brunt of the battle, had the
■ball on the 2-yard line.
| On the first play in the fourth
■quarter Hopkins rammed through
■for a touchdown, and Forehand
■swept around end for the extra
■point, so the Aces went ahead
■by a score of 13-7.
I Near the end of the game the
■Aces scored a clincher touch
■down after Tolley intercepted a
■pass on the Aces’ 17. With Hop
■kins again doing most of the
■ball carrying on the drive, the
nAees marched 83 yards for the
(final touchdown. Hopkins car
ried 13 times in the drive, with
Tolley contributing an 18-yard
jaunt and Dixon adding 7 yards.
A pass for the extra point was
broken up, so that the Aces had
the game in the bag with about
a minute to go with a 19-7 lead,
Bubba Hopkins wound up his
high school football career in a
blaze of glory, He scored all
three of the touchdowns, carried
the ball 41 times and gained 167
yards during the game, Jerry
Tolley was a marked player and
the defense departments on both
teams were so effective that
neither team wa sable to break
away for long thrilling runs.
The Aces’ splendid defense was
again reflected in the fact that
Hanes, loaded with hard and
elusive runners, was able to
register only five first downs
and were held to a gain of only
P 0 yards. Jimmy White again
prayed a spectacular .game in
this department while Wayne
Baker, Fred Britton, Richard
Dixon, Jack Sawyer, George
Nixon, Leroy Spivey, Erwin
Griffin and Charles Cuthrell
were thorns all night in the sides
of the Hanes ball carriers. The
line, too, considerably outweigh
ed by the Dragons, provided
holes for Edenton runners, so
that all in all every member of
the Aces performed with a great
deal of credit against a team
which was believed by many to
come out the victor.
The Edenton presented a very
interesting program at half-time.
Before the game a welcome to
all spectators was extended by
Mayor John Mitchener, who con
gratulated both teams for reach
ing the final playoff for the
state honor and expressed the
hope that the Aces would again
come out of the fray the win
ner. This remark brought no
"<nall amount of boos from the
'large crowd of Winston-Salem
fans.
At the close of the game the
Aces were presented the state
championship trophy and Hanes
High School was awarded the
runner-up trophy in a ceremony
held on the football field. Af

Frankly Speaking
By Franc fLMrti j
A few random thoughts for
this particular Thursday. Silent
j movies on tee-vee in the form
of a program called “Silents
Please” proved so popular it
will become a yearly show in
stead of a summer replace
ment. In addition, the Taylor
Theatre recently showed “When
Comedy Was King” and “Golden
Age of Comedy” showing some
of the best of the silent screen
era. The youngsters in the audi
ence just loved it, and it left
me to wondering what happened
to Hollywood’s funnybone? Or
the world’s for that matter?
Nowadays it’s all sophistication,
tangled plots and sly asides. Os
course, there are no artists the
calibre of Chaplin, Larigdon,
Keaton, the Keystone Cops, Lau
rel and Hardy and so on. Well,
those films were before my time,
but I love ’em. Hope they’ll re
| issue some more of them.
Now that the government de
j cided that the way to save
| money is by not permitting fami
i lies to be overseas with their
! hhsbands, I wonder how many
■ Gl’s who voted Republican felt
like kicking themselves after
, wards?
For almost a year Frank Sl
j natra made only albums, no sin
' gle records. Then two 45’s in
i a row, and they both wound up
iin the top one-hundred. Proof
of his singing abilities, especial
jly when most of your top rec
ords are aimed at an audience
of sons and daughters of those
who used to swoon at Sinatra.
The New York Times, Readers
Digest and one or two other
magazines recently had wonder
ful write-ups about Governor
Hodges before he was officially
chosen to be the new Secretary
of Commerce. A deserving
choice.
Went to the library and was
reading a magazine from Eng
land, the Illustrated London
News. It contains many inter
esting features including quite a
bit about America with stories
and pictures that are usually
better than those found in most
of our magazines.
“G. I.” Blues,” playing now at
the Taylor Theatre, is the first
of Elvis Presley’s pictures to re
ceive very favorable notices from
the hard New York newspaper
critics. Off and on we’ll be
playing excerpts from the sound
track of that album this week.
Also this week, Christmas stories
in the library for the youngsters.
We read to the 3 and 4 year
olds yesterday and will be read
ing to the 5 to 10 year age
group today.
Our town is producing its
share of journalists. H. Ehring
haus with an editorial letter in
The Herald and D. Bray with
same in the News & Observer.
Many thanks to the Edenton
Women’s Club for their very
kind note to me recently.
Watch the Taylor Theatre for
a real thriller shortly. It’s in
color, cinemascope and 3-D. The
first new 3-D movie in many
years, with a scene of a tropical
storm that’ll have you ducking
under the seat with houses,

Speaking of the movies, the
Taylor recently played Disney’s
movie version of “Kidnapped”.
The name of the director of that
pic? Robert Stevenson. No re
lation to the author.
A Norfolk columnist recently
interviewed Dr. Roy K. Marshall,
who was doing local TV spots.
He’s the one who used to give
scientific explanation on his
commercials for a leading auto
mobile. The columnist forgot to
mention why he was off national
TV. It was a morals charge.
Wonder bread, white bread, is
made in Rye, New York. (Edu
cational, huh?) Here’s another
one I dug up. The name of
Charlotte, North Carolina’s police

8 YEARS OLD—STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY—B 6 PROOF-SCHENLEY DIST. CO., N. Y. C.
This is
the Law
By ROBERT KLEE
(For the N. C. Bar Association)
Dogs
Is the owner or keeper of a
dog liable for the damage it
does?
Section 67-1 of the General
Statutes of North Carolina pro
vides: “If any dog, not being at
the time on the premises of the
owner or person having charge
thereof, shall kill or injure an;
livestock or fowls, the owner or
person having such dog in
charge shall be liable for dam
ages sustained by the injury,
killing, or maiming of any live
stock, and costs of suit.”
It should be carefully observ
ed that the above statute refers
only to “livestock or fowls.” It
says nothing about bodily in
juries to one’s own person or
damages to property other than
“livestock or fowls.” The par
ticular statute, although enacted
in 1911, has never come before
the North Carolina Supreme
Court for an interpretation.
The civil liability of dog own
ers is found in the common law
or the decisions of the court.
The most recent dog law ap
pears in Pegg v. Gray handed
down by the Supreme Court ol
North Carolina in 1954. In an
opinion written: by Justice Jeff
D. Johnson, Jr., evidencing both
a practical and legal knowledge
of dogs, the court said: “It
may be conceded as a well-es
tablished principle of law that
where a dog roams abroad on
another’s land of its own ac
cord and does damage or in
flicts injury to persons, animals,
or property there can be no re
covery therefor in the absence |
of special statutory enactment, j
unless it be shown that (1) the
dog was possessed of a propen
sity to commit the depredation
complained of and (2) the owner
knew, or was chargeable with
knowledge, of such propensity.”
“This principal of law is
grounded upon a recognition that
by natural instinct and habit an j
ordinary dog of most breeds is |
inclined to roam around and
stray at times from its immedi-i
ate habitat without causing in- 1
jury or doing damage to persons
or property. And in -deference
to this natural instinct of dogs
the processes of the early com- !
mon law eschewed the idea of
requiring that they be kept shut i
up, and instead promulgated the
foregoing rule which allows a
reputable dog a modicum of lib
erty to follow his roaming in
stincts without imposing liability j
on its master. And so, since
early times the law has been and
still is that the owner of a repu
table dog is not answerable in
damages for its entry upon the
lands of another upon its own
volition under circumstances
amounting to an unprovoked,
trespass.”
Is the owner or keeper of a |
dog liable in trespass if he sends j
or allows his dog to go on the
land of another in pursuit of
game?
Yes. The Supreme Gourt of
North Carolina expressly so rul
ed in the Dreviously mentioned
case of Pegg v. Gray.

In the particular case, a pack
of seven to ten foxhounds of the
defendant on numerous occasions
chased foxes onto and across the
plaintiff’s land without his per
mission and in disregard of his
protests. They damaged grow
ing crops and stampeded a herd
of seventy beef cattle which in
turn damaged the fences. Al
though the hunter himself did

it was held that he could be
