After granting a request that the
town tax be waived on a carnival
coming here next week under the
sponsorship of the Veterans Nof
Foreign Wars, the Board of Com
missioners Monday night adopted a
reslution authorizing policemen to
enforce, to the letter, sanitation laws
and those governing , games of
chance. .V i
In the resolution, unanimously
passed, the executives gave police
officials wholehearted support in
seeing that the laws are enferced and
told the officers, to clamp down cm all
games that were not within the scope
of state laws.
It has been the custom for the
town to waive the , (town tax when
carnivals or similar events came
here under sponsorship of patriotic
or civic organizations. The Com
missioners expressed themselves as
being anxious to help any local or
ganiation, but frowned upon the
type of carnival that has been com
ing here in recent years.' The offic
ers promised that those entertain
ments coming under the law would
not be molested.
Almost at the same time the Com
missioners were taking action to pad
lock gambling devices, county offic
ers were putting the clamps on sev
eral illegal games and devices at the
county fair in Greenville.
The town board last year instruc
ted policemen to padlock games of
chance at the carnival but the steps
taken Monday night are the most
stringent that have been taken so
.far. The resolution placed the mat
ter in the hands of policemen, who
were guaranteed the board’s support,
insofar as the laws were enforced.

ILS DEFEAT
SNOW BILL TEAM 12-7
The Red Devils of Farmville High
School scored their second victory of
the season last Friday faight when
they outlasted Snow *Hill 12-7. f A
good size crowd was on hand to wit
ness the contest
Farmville received the opening
kiekdK and promptly marched 40
yards downfield on -running plays,
only to fumble and lose possession of
the„ball on the Show, Hill 20 yard'
line. Snow Hill then fumbled'a few
plays later and Farmville was not
to be denied this time as they march
ed 36 yante for the score. Joe Smith
went over from the two yard line for
are: tally. A nice run by Sigbee
Hilda set up the touchdown. The re
mainder of the first quarter was
scoreless and the score at the end of
the first period was Farmville 6,
Snow Hill 0.
Midway of the second period, Roy
Vick broke loose on a 60 yard scor
ing jaunt on. aft end around play,
sending the score to 12 for Farmville.
Vick was# giveft fine assistance oft
the play as his teammates gave hiia
beautiful downfield blocking. There
was no further scoring in the first
half. ' • ;
Farmville was unable to score in
the secorid' half when almost every
drive was ended by w costly mis
play. Snow Hill, however, managed
to score late in the fourth period oir
a short pass play and subsequent
run of 40 yards. They added the
extra point on an end run, to end
'the scoring for the night i _V V
averages, reports that tee Farmviile
market set a new modem record
Monday, with sales of 707,224 pounds
-for an average of *62.70. Wednes
day’s sales were '637,636 -pounds for
an average of $61.67. These figures
, are all official. Season’s Sales to
date are 18,842,814 pounds, and the
official average is $63.86.
Despite its slow start, which re-.
suited from the inferior quality of"
tobacco offered for sale, the Farm
ville market is rapidly forging its
way to the top in Eastern North
Carolina. That this is so is evidenc
ed by the fact that sales in the East
ern Belt now; average $51.70 for
270,000,000 pounds. Farmville’s
official average for ibe season is
more than $2.00 above this fignre,
and the figures for the .past two
weeks would be way above the belt
average. *"•'
Selling time on the Farmviile
market will be increased to five
Hours, beginning Monday. This will
mean that more patrons can be taken
care of--some of those Who have had
to postpone selling, or go elsewhere,
because'of the shorter sales day
which has been in effect for three
weeks. • . -
It is estimated that between 60
' and 65 per cent of the 1951 crop has
been sold, including offerings on
. yesterday and today, which will send
'Farmville’s total for the year past
the 20-million mark. ~

convention which was held at East
I Carolina College in Greenville, 'Tues
day.' “
EhrC Logan Wilson, vice president
of the Consolidated University of
North Carolina at Chapel Bill,
brought the main address. Dr. Wil
son outlined four challenges facing
public school teachers and adminis
trators. .;^r,
Quoting Dr. Wilson, “The first
challenge is posed4>y the great in
crease in population! Elementary
schools are. already feeling the im
pact of thid increase. Within fifteen
years college enrollments will be a
tHfrd larger than jhey now are.
- “The second challenge into arouse
the public to the fact-feat w are
spending relatively less now than we
owe did. Many of our-supporting
groups are under the impression that
education is being more generously
underwritten than ever before. This
notion is completely erroneous.#
“The third challenge is that of
doing an even better job with the
human resources placed in oud hands.
We are wasting human resources,
through drop-outs, through neglect
of exceptional children, through
Mlure to discover promising pupils
who should continue their educations
on higher levels.”. .> • J#
