Worthy Os Praise
To the numerous words of praise already
heaped upon Coach Bill Billings and the
Edenton Aces following their successful cam
paign for the State Class 2-A football cham
pionship, The Herald would like to add its
commendation.
This year’s edition of the Aces comprises a
superb football team which includes every
boy on the squad. By the very nature of a
football game, there are many unsung heroes.
Usually the player who makes a touchdown,
one who throws or snags a pass is given the
lion’s share of the credit when, as a matter of
fact, many times these plays would not have
been accomplished had it not been for the ac
tions of other boys in the line and in the
backfield, who provide protection as well as
making holes in the line in order to pick up
yardage.
The Aces this year were very fortunate in
having the best rounded team ever developed
in Edenton. Each man on the team played
his position as it should be, so that the Aces
performed like a well-oiled machine with
every part functioning properly.
During the season the Aces in willing all
of the 13 games played, have met some for
midable foes with the Hanes High School
providing by far the mast stubborn opposi
tion. The latter proved the fact that the Aces
had a powerful team, and the Winston-Salem
boys had nothing to be ashamed of in their
defeat for they just ran up against a strong
er team.
The offensive strength of the Aces is re
flected in the fact that a total of 478 points
were scored in the 13 games. By the same
token, the fact, that the 13 opponents were
able to score only 38 points is proof enough
that the Aces’ defensive play was equally as
strong as the offense.
The Aces are the proud possessors of the
state championship, which is the result of ex
tremely hard work in preparation for the long
grind. It was not easy to report at the be
ginning of the football season for practice
when the weather was extremely hot. It was
hard work and had the boys not had football
in their bones, some would have dropped by
the wayside. In fact, it is this initial train
ing and preparation which made the Aces
what they were. They were in good shape
physically and were willing to put in what it
takes to make good football players.
The season, without doubt, has not only
strengthened the boys physically, but their
experiences on the gridiron have provided
some of those qualities which are so essential
in the battle of life and should stand them in
good stead as they mature to manhood. The
boys have won the state championship not by
an easy method, but in the course of their
success they have met with many hard knocks
and bumps. This will also be true when their
school days are over and they face a hard
world to make a livelihood. But if their
training of fair play and determination is car
ried with them as it was on the football field,
there is little reason to believe that success
will not be as realistic. Life is sort of like
a football game and he who carries with him
the lessons learned on a football field will
have an upper hand in getting ahead.
The entire community is very proud of the
Aces’ record and Edenton in particular should
be especially proud. By their record the
Aces have provided a nice slice of favorable
publicity the like of which could not have
been purchased. Many people in and out of
the state who probably had never heard about
Edenton. have read stories about the football
team and this publicity is worth a great deal.
With the football togs put away for an
other year. The Herald compliments every
last boy on the football squad for a job well
done, and this goes for Coaches Bill Billings
and Billy Hardison, for to win a state cham
pionship two things are absolutely necessary—
good coaching and good football players-.
Without good coaching, the Aces probably
would have been a mediocre team, and with
out the calibre of players be had, the chances
are that Coach Billings would not have had
the championship team. The boys are very
proud of their coaches and the coaches are
equally as proud of the boys who make up
this year* champions. It’s been a wonder- j
fu] football season in £dentdb and the Herald
doffs its hat to every last boy on the squad
as well as the coaches. They’re champions

A brief but discouraging letter ctu.e in the
mail Wednesday morning from Lloyd White,
who now lives near Bamberg, S. C. Sail
Lloyd: “Last week my dwelling house lo
cated three miles south of Bamberg was com
pletely destroyed by fire. I lost everything
except part of a bed and a few items of cloth
ing. I will greatly appreciate any help any
one can me.” Lloyd's address is Route 1,
Box 144, Bamberg, S. C.
o
Izzy Campen and Haughton Ehringhaus on
Monday morning climbed up to the clock on
top of the Court House. When they came
down they were asked “What’s the matter up
there?” Haughton replied, “Well, the clock
was running backward and we want to see
things go forward in Edenton instead of back
ward.’’
o
Joe Conger, Sr., was a visitor at the County
Commissioners’ meeting Monday morning and
it was the first time I knew he wears a hear
ing aid. “Yes,” said Winks Bond, “he’s been
wearing one for some time and the thing
about it is that when he especially don’t want
to hear a certain thing, he just pushes a but
ton and puts it out of operation.” He didn’t
cut the thing off Monday, however, for he
wanted to hear everything the Commissioners
might have said about necessary improve
ments to Edenton schools.
o
Maynard Perry .don’t look much older, al
though he recently became a grandpappy. In
honor of the event, Maynard passed around
a box of cigars at last week’s Rotary meet
ing. The Parish House was full of smoke,
but not so much that the Rotarians could not
enjoy seeing the film “Ye Towne On Queen
Anne's Creek.” Some had previously seen
the picture but it takes more than one view
ing to really appreciate the splendid film.
The film was shown to the Hanes High School
football team before Friday night’s game and
they, too, were very much impressed and en
joyed the picture.
o
Jim Wood, with two votes, did not win
election to Congress on November 8. but he
did win an electric alarm clock as a door prize
at the annual county achievement meeting at
Chowan High School November 30. Asked
for comment on winning the clock, Jim re
plied, “I would rather be on time than m
Congress.”
o
Maybe we should abandon use of the word
ing “Cradle of the Colony” on the Edenton
automobile license tags. The Rev. George B.
Holmes says it’s sort of embarrassing to him
when he loads up his crowd of youngsters in
his car and then sees somebody take a good
look at ’em and then glance at the auto tag.
I
o
Santa Claus met up with at least one hard
boiled youngster at the Christmas party on
Thursday afternoon. The little fellow oozed
up to Santa, who asked. “What do you want
me to bring you. Sonny?” The boy hesitated
a few seconds and then said. “Nothing, you
pot-bellied scoundrel. You promised me a
bicycle last year and I don’t have one yet.
so I figure you’ll not bring me anything this
Christmas.”
o
Well, the Edenton Aces did it again and
they are now State Class 2-A football champs.
The football field was really "air-conditioned”
Friday night as was the press box. Haughton
Ehringhaus was a jump ahead of the weather
man. for he had a small electric heater on
the floor in front of him which could be felt
for some distance. In fact there were a large
number of shivering fans at the game, but for
a spell it was hard to determine if it was
caused by the chilly weather or the excite
ment of the game, especially after Hanes High
went in the lead 7-6. The coffee in the press
box soon disappeared, but it didn’t take away
all the shakes with the Aces only six points
ahead at half time.
o
Friday night after the Edenton band pass
ed his filling station on the way to the foot
ball field, Lyn Perry knocked off and locked
up his joint. He was telling the boys at the
Post Office about it. when one of 'em piped
up: “Well, you might as well have closed,
for nobody was down town —they were all at
the game.”
. o
Mayor John Mitcbener has had many kinds
of experiences, but one which got next to him
most occurred Friday night after the foot
ball game. As he approached the field house
Fred Britton grabbed hold of the Mayor’s
coat and. pulling. At him, said, “We want you
in the field house.” When he entered the
Mayor was presented the football with which
the Aces won the state chamoionshio. The
Mayor was flabbergasted as to what to say,
but the boys can rest assured that this token
of appreciation almost floored him and it was
one which His Honor will always remember.
If he didn’t say so. I can say that he appre
ciates it from the -bottom of his heart, more

than even the boys themselves I
can realize. I
o
And speaking about the very J
cold weather for the football
game, I don’t know what he
.iad underneath, but Coach
Jill Billings was parading up
and down the sidelines wear-!
ing his light blue sweater, j
Like one fan said, he doubts |
if Coach Billings’ team could
win if he wasn’t wearing that
blue sweater. Well, I had an
old corn cob pipe working at l
full blast which has been sort
of good luck at the games.
The game was a happy ending
for Edenton fans, but not so
for the large number of loyal
fans front Winston-Salem. In:
fact after the game I saw two:
Winston-Salem women crying
as though they had lost a good
friend. It recalled a certain
game played at Greenville I
when a lot of Edenton ladies]
were crying when the Aces
were bumped off.

! Court House Green.
Permission was asked to use
, the microphone after many peo
ple were struck M the face at
close range and one child struck
severely in the eye. The har
r ass ing began as paraders moved
down Broad Street as partici
pants in the Christmas parade.
It continued on the Court House
Green as the crowd assembled
to visit with Santa.
The boys were asked in no
uncertain terms to stop. How
ever, the practice continued as
they moved off toward home
and particularly on Broad Street.
The Safety Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce and the
Safety Committee of the Parent-
Teacher Association have been
notified and local merchants sell
ing the items were asked to re
move them from Jheir shelves
in the public interest. Chief of
Police George Dail gave his dis
approval of the use of such
items. An .announcement of
these facts was presented to the
principal of the Edenton Ele
mentary School to be read to
all classes that such items would
not be used on the school
grounds. Parents are asked to
cooperate in this or any other
endeavor that will permit an
adult or a child to go unmo
lested down the street or to pub
lic functions. It is felt that the 1
