Second, our system may not have wanted to fool with making application. Third, the system may not have need* cd the money. (Not a very likely answer). The Edenton - Chowan system has handled the desegregation problem with out fanfare and smoother than anyone could have expected. Once the yelling ceased and the board, administrators and teachers got about the task before them, a workable program was put in motion. While things have not always been peachie, most people along the Public Parade have put the child first, their/feel-> ings second or third, and the trouble predicted hash’t been in the forefront. But back to the recent grants. There was one to the Wilmington Youth Coun cil in the amount of $635. We would wager that it cost twice that amount, just to make the application, let alone process it through Raleigh and the Atlanta, re gional office. Maybe, though, that is what the De partment of Health, Education and Wel fare means by “maintaining staffs and essential activities.” Feeding For productivity The agricultural community's greatest task is to fulfill the first law of life—to produce food in abundance —so that Am erica’s growing population will be well fed and productive. . ; Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz made that statement recently before the national board members and national of ficers of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. As we head into an other harvest season, along the Public Parade and throughout Northeastern North Carolina, lis words are extreme ly on target. ‘ Secretary Butz said only after this great task is done “can a nation then de velop the affluence and good life that we seek.” He explained that this ever-greater objective requires that the nation keep the American agricultural process in top working order. , ■’ “That, in turn, takes income, because we have S3OO-billion-plus farm plant to maintain. Every woman in America, and every husband who earns the money to pay the family’s bills, has a) stake jn. fair prices to farmers so as to assume that the agricultural machine, stays, nr good working order,” the secretary said. He pointed out that only a healthy* dynamic agricultural economy can widen consumers’ choice to have the kinds and qualities of food they want. He said only an agricultural effort based on profit in centives like any other business can as sure everyone food abundance with built in safety, wholesomeness and conveni ence. Secretary Butz said that only in Am erica, with a arming capacity to produce in super-abundance, could people stage the most massive campaign in mankind’s history to wipe out the blight of poverty caused hunger in a land of affluence. “Only in America can we enjoy our high level of eating so reasonably that we spend only 16 cents of every take home dollar for our food,” he pointed out. He said that when USDA was estab lished as a cabinet Wei department 102 years ago, President Lincoln was said to have called USDA the ‘‘people’s depart ment.” “He was quite' right,” Secretary Butz said. “No other agency of government touches the lives, every day, of as many people—consumers and producers, young and old, rich and poor—as does the U. S. Department of Agriculture.” Yet. even the USDA, from time to time, takes for granted those who till our soil and produce food in abundance.

Aces Win Again; Face Gates Next Edenton Aces posted another victory last Friday flight at Hicks Field in the second conference game of the season. The Aces shut out the Plymouth Vik ings 21.«0. In the first quarter of action, the Aces, after a 65-yard march, scored when Richard Morring went over from the eight yard line. They threatened to score again ini the first quarter but were stopped short :pri the one-yard line. Thomas Slade, ih the second quarter, crossed the goal line, but the touch down was called back when the officials assessed a clipping penalty against the Aces. Edenton did not score again un til the third quarter. On the opening kick-off of the second half, Arnold Brothers returned the ball all the way down to the Viking 30 yard line. The Aces were halted until the next series when quarterback Bill Chesson sneaked over from the one yard line to post another six. Brothers went across from the five yard line, in the fourth quarter for the final score of the ball game. All three conversion attempts by Ralph Garrett were succesful. Aces’ head coach Marion Kirby later commended the defense for an excel lent job in completely rendering the Plymouth offense harmless. He partic ularly commended linebackers Ray Bate man and Morring for “a great job”. He went on to say that the defense, as a whole, has shown a great deal of im provement. Friday night, the Aces’ de fense gave up a total of 52 yards rush ing, and none passing. As Kirby put it, they have gained poise and ma turity, Kirby stated that they have had two good weeks 'Of practice, and the guns will be loaded for the defending cham pions, Gates County, this Friday night. He expressed confidence about the game, but complaceny is out of his vo cabulary. The Aces will be ready for this vital game, but as be said, “De fending champions never lay down and die.” , Reporter At Fair By Flynn Surratt Fall is the most appropriate time of the year for a fair. The days become shorter,, and the nights have that breezy, almost electric atmosphere when the piped-in music and roar of the diesel engines drift across the fields highlight ed by the steady singing of tires as cars roll in for the annual event. County fairs seem to just appear for a week and then disappear back into the obscurity that they came from. Chowan County had its fair last week with all the trimmings, fast talking hustlers whose games are often only won by attractive girls or children. By Saturday night, the 15 rides of the David B. Endy company were working overtime to satisfy all the desires for excitement and the coffers of the side shows were running over with the bounty of the week. Many ribbons were won, many ani mals sold and much produce displayed. No doubt many a youngster suffered from an over-consumption of cotton candy and candy apples. The people that operate the rides and sideshows stiU remain a mystery. They are seldom anxious to satisfy the curi osity of a reporter, and always wary of a camera. From all that I could gather few of them have a place that they claim as home and they continually change from one troupe to another. Life is carried on on a day-by-day basis. One of the special guests for the Week was Ted Hanson and the Coun try Express from Nashville, Tenn. Tom (last name not given) the driver for their converted bus, stated that none of the group was actually from the South, and several of the musicians had started in the music business play ing in rock groups. It was apparent that they were all anxious to see some time off in their home town. Off stage, they spent their leisure moments relaxing and formating the next show. They recounted their past episodes across the country in clubs and fairs. As Tom put it, “We like fairs better. Clubs are different. The minute you step inside, you can tell if it’s going to be all right or an other bummer.” During the five day event, about 21,000 people passed through the gates at the 1972 edition of the Chowan County Fair.
