Friday Afternoon
Wilkesboro high school’s foot
ball team defeated a fast Mocks-
vllle eleven at Wilkesboro Fridny
afternoon 7 to 6 and gave prom
ise of rounding into a good high
school team as the season pro
gresses.
The first quarter was played
on about even terms but the sec
ond was decidedly Wilkesboro as
the Ramblers outplayed the visi
tors and scored what looked like
an easy touchdown and extra
point.
Both teams put on aerial bom
bardments with varying success.
Mocksville came back strong in
the third quarter to score a
touchdown but the line plunge
for extra point failed miserably.
Wilkesboro’s score came a few
plays after a Wilkesboro player
had Intercepted a Mocksville pass.
On the touchdown play, a smart
piece of high school football,
Adleman passed to Bouchelle,
who Interaled just as he was be
ing tackled about the fifteen-
yard stripe. Linney took the lat-
iiral and went over easily. By
faking a kick the pass play from
Adleman to Bouchelle for extra
point was carried out without
much trouble.
Mocksvllle’s marker came in
the third period after a pass
straight over the line landed in
an end’s hands a few feet from
the goal line. Two line plays
put the ball over by Inches.
Bouchelle and Linney were out
standing in Wllkesboro’s ground
offense while Adleman was good
at throwing passes.
Both teams appeared to be a
bit dumbfounded by opponents’
passing attacks and were weak
on pass defense.
Wilkesboro will play Cleveland
at Wilkesboro on Friday after
noon this week.

“The purpose of these county
days,” Weeks stated In his Invi
tation, "is to give leaders of
neighboring counties an oppor
tunity to get together in an In-
tormal way to consider not some
special project of immediate im
portance, but the many general
matters in which both counties
are concerned. , ■ v, -? ^ -

Pine Limb Stays
Green 9 Months
After Being Cut
N. M. Dancy, a resident of Red
dies River township, is responsi
ble for this “Believe It or Not”
story.
Mr. Dancy, in the city looking
after business matters Saturday,
brought with him a small pine
limb which came off a small pine
tree that was cut down nine
months ago. When out this limb
fell on a wire fence and against
another pine tree nearby, where
it remained until brought to The
Journal-Patriot office by Mr.
Dancy. For some reason, this
limb remained green instead of
soon drying up and turning
brown, and was in an apparently
healthy condition when brought
here Saturday.
Mr. Dancy would like to know
why the limb remained green for
nine months after being cut. So
would many other people.

QUARTER MILLION DRAFTED
London, Oct. 1.—Great Brit
ain’s king summoned another
250,000 men to the colors tonight
as his first lord o' the admiralty,
Winston Churchill, boldly declar
ed the European war would end
only when the allied forces were
convinced that Reichs fuehrer,
Adolf Hitler, “has bad enough.’*
The admiralty chief. In an em
pire broadcast, declared “Russf*
has warned Hitler off his eastern
dreams.” But he added that he
conild not forecast Russia’s next
move, terming it a "riddle wrapp
ed In mystery inside of an enig
ma.”
Shortly before the Churchill
speech. In which the admiralty
head said Britons believe “we are
entitled to the respect and good
will of the world and partioularly
the United States,” King George
VI called to armed service all
British men between the ages of
20 and 22 years “with certain
exceptions.”
240,000 Called La.st June
Some 24 0,000 youths aged 20
were called up last June. Today’s
proclamation applies to those In
the 21-year age group and those
who have become 20 since ^lune
5.
Churchill told the empire "it
was for Hitler to say when the
war would begin but it is hot for
him or his successors to say
when it will end.” ”
How soon the war ends, he
said, depends upon “how. long
Herr Hitler and his group’^ef
gangsters whose hands are stain
ed with blood and sticky- With
corruption can keep theih grip
upon the docile, unhappy German
people.”
Churchill said “three Import
ant things’’ had occurred ld''th*

off his eastern dreams; and th*
U-boats may be safety left to th*
