Basketball Tourney Starts Monday
Some Tickets Still Available
The annual high school basketball tournament gets
underway here in the Paul Elani gym at Louisburg
High School Monday night with the Gold Sand girls
meeting the Louisburg girls in the opener. This will be
followed by an opening round contest between the
Gold Sand boys and Bunn.
The affair is to run continuously through Saturday
night with Thursday night being reserved as aiv open
date. Tuesday night at 7 P.M. Bunn girls will meet
, Wakelon and Louisburg boys will play Wafelorw'
Ticket sales are brisk, but most schools report that
' | tickets are still available. The
League voted this year to sell
one ticket good for all five
nights. In the event the sea
son tickets are not
completely sold, single night
tickets will be placed on sale
at the box office at Elam
gym, according to reports.
Youngsville boys now hold
the conference lead and could
take first place if Gold Sand
happens to defeat the hot
Franklinton Rams. If the
Rams win, as is expected,
they will tie the Phantoms for
the title. In both divisions,
teams one and two get open
ing round byes and the posi
tioning this year is not as
important as in years past.
The Youngsville girls are
undisputed conference
champs, repeating from last
season.
League balance this season
is expected to make for a
more interesting tournament.
Youngsville and Franklinton
boys are equal favorites and
the Youngsville girls are given
the nod in their division.
The 1600-capacity gymna
sium is expected to be filled
by tap-uff time Monday
night. Increased enrollment in
the member schools and
limited seating in the gym
necessitated advance sale of
tickets.
Five girls teams and six
boys squads will be scrapping
for the coveted tournament
title. The girls championship
game will be played Friday
night and the boys title game
will follow on Saturday.
There will be two games each
night and awards will be pre
sented following the final
contest Saturday night.
As Years
Go By
A man and his wife were
out driving in the country. He
was driving and she was rem
iniscing.
Finally, she broke the si
lence. "John, do you remem
ber when we were first mar
ried and had our first car?
Remember how close to
gether we used to sit in that
old Ford?"
With a twinkle in his eye,
the husband replies, "I
haven't moved."
The Best Part
A group of children was
being conducted through the
bakery. At the end of the
tour, they were taken into
the display room.
"Well, now," said their
guide, "are there any ques
tions about what goes on in a
bakery?"
Little David gazed long
ingly M the beautiful frosted
cakes in he display case.
"Yes, ma'am," he sighed.
"Could you please tell me
who gets to lick out the
bowls?"

towers. Two. surveyors stand
on the outer tower, while the
delicate measuring instrument
is placed on the inner tower.
The surveyors will be
working mostly at night be
cause the atmosphere is
clearer and le*> likely to dis
turb the precision surveying.
Constant checks will be made
of the air temperature, since
the temperature and humi
dity determine the density of
air. and light speed is reduced
by increased air density.
Laser geodimeters will be
used for the surveying work.
These instruments utilise the
speed of light to measure
distances. A beam of light ?
will be sent from one tower
to another, where a set of
prism mirrors reflect the light
back to its origin. The
infinitesimal time this takes
will be exactly recorded to
measure the distance between
the two points.
Each reading will be re
peated 32 times and the mean
of the findings computed to
l-100th of a second. The
Coast and Geodetic Survey
will be accurate to a
1- 100.000th of a degree. This
means an error factor of only
1 foot in 25 miles in the work
to i be conducted. That's
pretty exact by anyone's
standards.
The Geodetic Survey Divi
sion of the North Carolina
Department of Conservation
and Development requested
the work to be done by the
Coast and Geodetic Survey.
North Carolina's efforts in
this area have long occupied a
position of national prom
inence. We were one of the
first states to organize and
create a geodetic survey divi
sion. The work of the North
Carolina Division of Geodetic
Survey has been frequently
cited for its accuracy" and
preciseness.
The State of North Caro
lina currently establishes geo
detic monuments at the rate
of 500 per year, a rate which
falls far short of the increas
ing demand for the precise
markers. At the present rate
of establishment, it will take
North Carolina about 125
years to complete its work.
Bad Mechanic
A man was driving in the
country when his car stalled.
He got out to check the spark
plugs 'Suddenly an old horse
trotted by.
The horse said, "Better
check the gas line." Then the
horse trotted on.
The motorist was so fright
ened that he ran to the near
est farm. He told the farmer
what had happened.
"Was it an old horse with a
flopping ear?" asked the
frame r.
"Yes! Yes!" cried the
man.
"Well, don't pay any at
tention to him," said the far
mer. "He doesn't know any
thing about cars."
