Ayden Defeats Farmville; Takes District Title Ayden won the Coastal Conference Championsnip nere last Friday mgnt by defeating the local high school eleven, 28-0. FarmviUe started the game with a bang as tney blocked an Ayden punt and recovered on the Ayden 36-yard line. Two passes, both''from Charlie Fitzgerald vo hoy Vick, ate up most of the yardage as the local boys went. on to score. Fitzgerald went over on the third attempt from the two yard line. Ayden came right back with a score of its own in the first period. Cannon hit the middle of the Farm ville line, and from all indications was stopped at .the scrimmage line. However,- he spun away and easily scooted 73 yards for the score as the Farmville boys, thinking Cannon was down, tailed to give pursuit. Edwards added the extra point on a sneak and Ayden lead 7-6. „ Farmville’s pass defense lapses were responsible for the other Ayden TD’s. All of the remaining scores were the result of long passes in which the receiver cut behind the secondary de fense. Ayden could not gain steadily through the Farmville line, which played its best defensive game of the season. However, the forward pass proved to be the more lethal weapon. Farmville led Ayden in first downs, and completed ten of nineteen attempted passes, which surpassed Ayden’s total. However, Ayden led in rushing yardage and in>.#*§di yards gained by passing. The local boys made several bids for pay dirt after their initial score, but fumbles at crucial times hurt their cause considerably. Several of Che locals made a credit able performance in the game. Among the linemen, Boy Vick, chal Barrett, Jimmy Allen, Fotimtiin perfc hackfield Chao Smith were the leaders. The next .home game is with . ' " . >.

Chances are, , however, that a new P. 0. would be under construction by now if land values had not shot up ward overnight when Uncle Sam an nounced that be was in the market for a lot on which to build an office. Tis election time ' in the JLiwahiS club, and the next president, whoever he may be, will find his task easier by virtue of the outstanding work this year by President Charles Ed wards. Not only has the club suc cessfully carried on a wide range of outside activities—all designed to benefit the community in general and young folks in particular—but the ease, with which Charles presides over the meetings has drawn many compliments, and his sense of humor has been the bright spot of more than one meeting. And, better yet, he is humorous without stooping to in dulge m off-color jokes. Farmville citizens of both races will welcome the announcement that the local colored school will hence forth bear the name of ifh principal, H. B. Sugg. The honor that has come to the highly-respected school head is well-deserved, and it is good that the honor Is bestowed upon him while he is alive. Professor Sugg is thfe type of man needed by both races, and relations between the groups would not be strained as they are today if his ideas and ideals were practiced more generally. THOMAS C.

Flanagan said that today the farmers have more problems than they have ever had. “We must have a strong Farm Bureau organization to combat these problems if we expect to earn a living wage on the farm,” he said. Flanagan called attention to the fact that the net farm income in this country has decreased over 5 billion since 1946. He said that ^this net in come would continue to decline even further if farm prices are not more in line with the things the fanners have to buy. “The general public has been gross ly misinformed by the so-called farmers-getting-rich line,” ha said, “but if they .could realize that the faAner receive only 69 cents an hour for his work in comparison to the $1.46 average hourly wage other groups receive they would be more sympathetic toward him.” Flanagan said that the Farm Bureau would continue to lead the fight for a fair share of the national income for farm families, and called on every serious minded farmer in Pitt County to “stand behind this or ganization.” - Townships in the county that have already- exceeded their membership quotas are: Ayden with 426 mem bers; Beaver Dam with 183 mem bers; Bethel with 382 members; Carolina with 289 members; Falkland with 233 members; Farmvilie with 479 members; Fountain wmi 141 members.
