Opportunity To Save
It is interesting to note that a group of Eden
on merchants are planning a fall sales promo
ion campaign which it is hoped will bring many
i hoppers to Edenton. These special days have
i »een designated as October 12, 13, 14 and 16,
vhen special bargains will be offered which
should attract many thrifty shoppers.
] This sales promotion will be given wide publ
icity with 10.000 sections of The Herald going
nto every nook and corner of Edenton's trade
erritorv.
Bargains offered during "Edenton’s Fall Value
bays” will include items of every description,
jnost of which are especially timely at this par
ticular time. In many cases new merchandise
fias been ordered especially for the event.
J Edenton merchants are very eager to add new
Customers to their list and are firm in their be
lief that just as .good merchandise at just as fair
farices can be purchased in Edenton as anywhere
pise.
■ The merchants extend a cordial invitation to
pew, as well as old customers, to take advant
age of the savings offered during “Edenton’s
Fall Values Days.”
Fire Prevention Week
; Next week, October 8-14, will be observed as
■Tire Prevention Week, when everybody in the
.community is requested to do whatever they
can to relieve hazardous fire conditions about
their premises, thus contributing to a safer com
munity.
In this connection Fire Chief W. J. Yates em
phasizes that a large number of fires are caused
by carelessness in handling matches and smok
ing. ‘‘Matches should be kept where small chil
dren cannot reach them,” savs Chief Yates, “and
a liberal supply of ash trays throughout tha
house is another way to reduce fires.” Mr. Yates
particularly emphasizes that, “if you value your
life, do not smoke in bed.” In observance of
Fire Prevention Week, it is pointed out that great
damage is caused by rubbish fires, so that re
moval of rubbish from cellars, attics and closeis
will help to eliminate many fire alarms.
An unconscionable number of lives and ap
proximately a billion dollars worth of property
are lost each year because of fires, many of
which could have been prevented.
While it is very worthwhile to observe a week
set aside as fire prevention week, every week
should be observed as fire prevention week, for
fires have no respect for any particular time
of year.
Thriller In Prospect
Hicks Field will no doubt be a very popular
place Friday night when Edenton’s Aces and the
Elizabeth City Yellow Jackets meet in their an
nual football classic. With favorable weather, a
record crowd will most assuredly be on hand to
witness these two arch rivals match wits and
strength on the Gridiron.
The two teams meet with creditable records
this season, so that a hard-fought game is in
prospect. The Aces have been victorious the
last two years, but Coach Honey Johnson of the
Yellow Jackets is not in the habit of staying on
the bottom many years in succession. He be
lieves the Yellow Jackets will take the measure
of the Aces this year.
Coach Bill Billings is making no predictions,
but he has developed another tough and hard
fighting football machine, so that a real foot
ball game appears in the making.
Edenton and Elizabeth City have been arch
rivals for many years, and each team is especi
ally anxious to win Friday night’s game. It
should be a thriller, one that no local football
fan should miss. There will be color attached
to the game, too, with the crack Elizabeth City
High School Band and the Edenton Band on
hand to provide entertainment. Game time is 8
O’clock.

The following letter was recently received
from Erie and Betty Prior, who live in Clear
water, Florida, and visit in Eden to b frequently:
"Since we have been coming to jEdenton for
the last 13 years, as visitors from Florida, we
have always been struck by the grdpt friendli
ness and hospitality by the people in\ this area.
I “This time our vacation turned out somewhat
differently. I had to have an operation and
subsequent treatments and, therefore, had to
spend a good week in the hospital. Permit me to
express my sincere admiration for Dr. Wood, my
surgeon, and Dr. Bond, in charge of my treat
ments. These two doctors are a credit to their
profession, and together with all the nurses and
staff of the hospital have shown such sympathy
and friendliness that I have felt very much at
home.
“We also wish. to extend our gratefulness to
all members of the family, friends and residents
of this area who have brought greetings and
paid visits to the sick room and to the place
we are staying with, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Yates.
“We shall indeed take the best memories back
home with us to Florida and we hope to leave
about mid-October.”
o
Town Councilmen and members of the Board
of Public Works met in a lengthy session Tues
day night to consider the many angles of the
forthcoming election on a $543,000 bond-issue to
construct a sewage disposal plant. Thomas By
rum, Chairman of the Board of Public Works,,
presided over the meeting and at the outset he
mentioned the fact that Mayor John Mitchener
opens Town Council meetings with prayer. ‘To
night,” he said, “I think it would be proper to
offer prayer on behalf of A1 Phillips and Jimmy
j Ricks on account of last Saturday’s football
game.” (North Carolina defeated State 27-22).
But A1 Phillips promptly said, “No need to do
that, better pray for us for next Saturday.”
o
This being National Letter Writing Week,
just about everybody in Edenton and Chowan
County over 21 years of age has received a let
ter. These letters were sent by Sheriff Earl
Goodwin and Town Clerk W. B. Gardner. There
wasn’t so much to read in the letter, but it did
state how much each one owes for town and
county taxes for the year 1961. And the sooner
these taxes are paid, the better it will be.
o
If you don’t know it, there’s another fine musi
cal group in Edenton, the Bass Clef Club. The
club, directed by Miss Suzanne Hardison, sang
1 at the Pocahontas meeting Thursday night and
the only trouble was that they didn’t sin? more
numbers. The group is composed of Roger
Lamb, Douglas Twiddy, Bobby Perry, Louis
Craddock, Tom Phillips, Neal Hobbs, John Mar
shall, Douglas Sexton, Jim Partin and Bill Boot
wright. »
o
Dick Dixon dropped in the office the other
day to tell me he had a bone to nick with me.
. “I caught your cold at a meeting the other
night,” he said. But he’s dead wrong—l still
have the devilish cold which I’ve had for over
two weeks now. I'd be glad to give it away.
o
Chowan County Commissioners on Monday had
an application for an off-premise beef license.
While considering the application somebody ask
ed Chairman W. E. Bond what was meant by an
off-premise beer license. “Well,” said Mr. Bond,
“it means that you can buy some cans of beer,
drive up the road to drink it and then throw
the empty cans in my ditches.”
o
James Griffin and his crew in the Soil Con
servation office are crowded almost like sardines
in a can, so that Jim went before the County
Commissioners Monday to see if more space
could be given them. Jim stood for some time
at the meeting and after a while he spied a chair
in Mrs. Evelyn Williams’ office, where the Com
missioners met. He tip toed to the chair in a
corner of the room so as not to cause any noise,
but when he sat down he caused plenty of fuss.
The seat in the chair crumbled under Jim’
weight so that Jim’s “southern extremity” went
I floorward and his feet went skyward.
°
I Center Hill-Cross Roads firemen had a lot of
customers for their chicken barbecue supper Sat
urday at the fire station and someone told me
that over 750 hungry appetites were appeased.
Here’s one who went to get a couple of plates-tb
take home and the parking lot, as well as the
highway, was so crowded that I thought I’d
have to have my two plates delivered down at
Center Hill. Anyway, it was a very good meal
for which they charged $1.25. I’ve eaten many
a meal not half as good that cost twice as much.
Garland Asbell, chief of the fire department,
was a proud fellow, not only because of the
large crowd which turned out for the chicken
supper, but last week the up-county firemen
answered their first fire alarm. “In two min
utes,” said Garland, “15 volunteers were on the
job.” It was not necessary to put the fire truck
in operation, but it shows that the firemen in
| that neck of the woods are on the job and ready
to do whatever they can to fight fires.

THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THUKSDAT. OCTOBER 5. IMI.
LETTERS TO'
THE EDITOR
DARLINGTON OAK ON
GREEN AGAIN OPPOSED
Dear Mr. Bufflap:
May I add a few words to '
what Mrs. Badham has already
said about the trees to be planted
on the Court House Green.
Since talking to some people
who are familiar with the Dar
lington oak, I believe a more
satisfactory tree can be found.
I am told the Darlington oak
grows into a very large tree
with limbs very low, about four
feet from the ground. Also that
it is subject'to blight and, un
less' treated, frequently is short
lived.
I suggest the winged elm.
since its limbs grow high with i
lacy foliage which would not. 1
obstruct the view of beautiful j
Edenton Bay nor the handsome i
old Court .House which has been
so beautifully restored. I also
feel that more than three trees
on each side of the Green would
interfere with the view of the
residents on either side.
I congratulate the Woman’s
Club on the result of its sincere
efforts to beautify the Green and
hope it will consider this letter
in the spirit in which it is writ
ten, a sincere desire to be help
ful.
MRS. ERNEST W. LEARY.
Employ Handicapped
Week Being Observed
Manager Buell A. Bailey of
the local Employment Security
office has announced that he and |
his staff have joined the state- 1
wide campaign to promote the
“National Employ the Physical
ly Handicapped Week” in North
Carolina.
According to Bailey, the first
week in October of- each yearj
is designated by. the President .
as a time of special emphasis on ,
the employment needs of handi-j<
capped workers. 'The week is ’
authorized by Congress, he said, ~
and Governor -Sanford has an- .
nounced official observance of
the October 1-7, hire-the-handi-j ’
capped program in North Caro- j
lina. j,
Explaining that approximate--
ly 10% of job applicants through j
the local employment service j
are handicapped, Bailey point- ,
ed out that when placed in the 1
proper <job thp rehabilitated,.'
physically handicapped worker J
has just as good a- safety rec- ,
ord as his co-workers. “In ad- |
dition, absenteeism is less, and 1
in a lot of instances his work J
production is higher,” he said. <
“I hope employers in the'
Edepton ' area' will give serious I
consideration to the skills of our
handicapped workers. I think >
it’s a good, £ound personnel
policy.” 1
Bailey urged all employers to
contact the employment office '
for information on placement of 1
handicapped workers. (
