demonstrations conducted in 1960
have been completed. Hurricane

make evaluations on ear height,
standability, stalk rot, weevil re
sistance or grain quality. Our
printed results will show evalu
ations on these factors taken
from our 1959 work.
In our computation all yields
were adjusted to 15.5 percent
moisture. Average yields in
bushels per acre of the two dem
onstrations are as follows: Funks

Other assignments during her
early years of service were at
Fort Sam Houston, Texas, where
she was a counselor for military
personnel being discharged from
the service. Vocational guidance
was an important part of her
work in this assignment.
From 1947 until 1949 she was
assigned to the Military Liaison
Office in Miami, Florida. The
following four years were spent
overseas in Germany with as
signments at Munich and Stutt
gart.
Major Eailey, married since
March, 1943, has successfully
combined a military career and
marriage.

they are undefeated this season. l
and have rolled a total of 299
points while holding their op
ponents to 24. Their victories
include Camden, Roanoke Rap
ids, Wallace-Rose Hill, William
ston, Scotland Neck, Elizabeth
City, Weldon and Hertford.
Ahoskie has lost only one
game, that being to Greenville,
19-0. They defeated Roanoke!
Rapids 7-6, Hertford 27-0, Ply- j
mouth 21-0, Central 28-0, Scot-'
land Neck 14-12 and Norlina
33-0.
By comparison, the Aces de
feated Roanoke Rapids 33-6,
Scotland Neck 33-0 and Hertford
51-6. So, on paper, the Indians
take on the role of underdog.
Coaches Bill Billings and Billy
Hardison, as well as the Aces
themselves, anticipate a hard
fought game, so that they have
been practicing hard in order
to down the Indians and thus
maintain a clean record.
The Edenton Band and cheer
leaders will also be on hand to
add 'color and entertainment to
a game which should prove to j
be very thrilling.
