Take our Association, for example. Because our people believe in thrift and entrust their money to our care we have funds to loan for buying, building or improving a home. This in turn gives employment to carpenters, electri cians, plumbers . . . everyone associated with the building trades. But when people save in distant cities, this money is unavailable locally which causes our economy to slump . . . slow down. Be loyal to your home town. Help keep our community a better place in which to live and do business by saving your money at home. j| Edenton Savings & Loan Assn. A Safe Place To Save Since 1905 322 S. Broad St. • Edenton. N. C.

Seniors Phil Asack, Dick Biddle, John Cappellano, Wes Chesson and Leo Hart have been picked to play in the prestigious all-star games. Chesson and Hart, the great Blue Devil passing combination, will team in the East-Aflffs-V, .Shrine game ; ifr San Francisco on January 2 and in the Senior Bowl on January 9 in Mobile, Ala. Chesson, a 6-2, 195 pounder from Edenton, finished his career with 164 receptions for 2,399 yards. This season he caught 74 for 1,080 yards. Both Hart and Chesson have re-written the Blue Devil and ACC record books. Asack, a 6-3, 220-pound linebacker from West Bridge water, Mass., will play in the North-South Shrine game in Miami on December 25 and in the American Bowl in Tampa on January 10. Both Biddle, one of the na tion’s leading linebackers from Parkersburg, W. Va., and defensive back Cappel lano, a 6-1, 190-pounder from Easton, Pa., will play in the Blue-G-ray game in Mont gomery, Ala., on December 28. Biddle will also play in the ifamed Hula Bowl. After guiding the 1970 Duke team to a 6-5 record and a 5-2 conference mark, it’s easy to see why Asack, Biddje,- Capppllano, Chesson I and Htirf will' be missed in the Blue Devil football camp.
