Washington Defeats Green Wave Friday In One-sided Contest Washington High School over whelmed Williamston High's Green Wave 62-6 in a game played in Washington last Friday night. Play ing against what Washington fans describe as their best team in twelve years, Williamston was unable to match the fierce line play of their opponents and the large score was rolled up by the strong ground at tack maintained by the Pam Fkick throughout four full quarters of bruising football. Paced by Bud Fowle and Dave Tayloe, runners extraordinary, the Pam Pack rolled up a large score by long, spectacular runs. Tayloe contributed three long runs for touchdowns, a 45 yard sprint from scrimmage in the second quarter, a 30 yard punt return in the third quarter and another punt return of 35 yards in the fourth quarter. Fowle scored three touchdowns, and aver aged 6.3 yards per try in plunging the line 12 times. Williamston fans had their big mo ment early in the second quarter when Ben Gurganus passed 10 yards to Bennie Weaver who caught the ball on his forty and raced 60 yards for the locals' only score. Billie Peel had set the stage for the scoring play by an interception of a Washington pass thrown by Howard. Although the Green Wave's ground attack was throttled by their oppo nents fast charging line, fine pass plays by the Williamston lads main tained interest in the game. With Ben Gurganus cooly picking his man, nine passes were completed for a to tal of 107 yards. Most of the passes were short passes, good for three to r MEN'S and BOYS' SHOES ? By ?

And despite mis-apprehension on the part of many consumers, your credit is as good as it ever was. Regu lation of installment credit was de signed to halt inflation, but not to stop purchases. Down payments are slightly higher on some commodities, and accounts are expected to pay out in a year's time, but one-fifth down payment is all that is required on furniture and one-third down on re maining quantities of some scarcer products.

Ther USA Chamber is a--udver ti/n for a salesman to sell in eastern North Caliny. Hit dont say what thay haves to sell, and that leaves a fel ler on ther fence, and a-gessin what he'll put his foot into when he gits down on thay side. Course thay mout sell sum sales tax, ef thay aint already sold all that out to ther UjS A Congress. Or thay mout sell sum Jay What-you-call 'im finance-figgers, or thay mout sell sum in-bred veriety of ezy ways to wiggle into wealth, but in that case most of ther Tar-Heels air so well a-quainted vtfth in-breds, when hit comes to producin, that thay would not be apt to do much bizness with ther farmers, and as fer most of ther manufacturs, a post-cyard would bring good bizness bout as quick as a good salesman. And all that leaves a feller still on ther fence a-wondcrin what that Chamber has planted down long that fence whar he's about to step down into. Reduce Insurance Rates On Cargoes Definitely on the encouraging side was the announcement last week telling of the second reduction with in a month in cargo war risks by ma rine Insurance underwriters. One of the principal reductions is on ship ments between the United States and the West Indies, the east coast of Central America and Mexico, and the north coast of South America? all areas which, until recently, were the scenes of constant sinkings of merchant ships by submarines. Since it's hard-headed business that gov erns insurance rates, it's cheering to learn that cargo boats are a better risk than they were before. The re port laconically attributed the rate change to "improved methods of convoying, and other protection."

CREOMULSION for Coughs, Chost Colds, ? ronchi tis West Fires \re A Menace To Victory The North Carolina State Forest ?rvice makes an urgent appeal to rery hunter and tamper for his ac ye cooperation in preventing forest res during the coining fall hunt g season in Eastern Carolina. The forests of the state are vital important to the war program by mtributing in a gigantic measure war industries. Southern pines and irdwoods are used in almost every iase of war production as construc m lumber and timbers, wood pulp ir paper and plastics, naval stores, (plosives, veneers and plywoods for efflbrication of buildings, aircraft id naval craft. Wood is a versatile ar material of absolute necessity, y preventing forest fires we have on the first battle in keeping the ?rest stands thrifty and productive | growing high quality timber. A careless and thoughtless flip of match or a cigarette can cause an j ppalling waste of potential forest roducts resulting in a loss to the j mberland owner, to the commun y and to the nation. Forest fires produce a sky glow isible for miles at sea as a direct id to enemy submarines. Smoke "om forest fires forms a dangerous azard and interference to naval and ir operations. At this time of all lit war, it is not enough that we set ur goal at a mere reduction of for st fires, but at the elimination of icm. Although everyone realizes the anger and damage of forest fires, irelessness is still their major cause, he rule is to be alert?be careful? e thorough when discarding cigar ttes, matches ,pipe-heels; when urning brush, trash and leaves and rhen extinguishing camp fires. Re ort all forest fires and other county ires to the nearest forest ranger or ounty forest ire warden. Remember that every forest fire educes the personal safety of every jtizen and interferes materially rith the war program. fr it takes five tons of iron ore, coke, mestone, and other materials to qual one ton of scrap metals.
