Plans For Drive Wffl Be Male Tonight
' ■ ■——*-•
mans for Farmville’s second Com
munity Chest drive* will be made to
night whendirectors of the chest meet
at 7:30 in the Town HalL
It will mark the third' meeting of
the week as directors, nominated last
week by the retiring board and elec
ted at a meeting Sunday afternoon,
are forming plans for the drive.
George W. Davis has been elected
president of the Chest, and Dr. 'John
M. Mewborn is vice president. Cleve
land Paylor was re-elected secretary
treasurer. Other directors are Mes
dames Jesse Moye and Frank Allen,
Fred Moore, Mias Mamie Davis, H.
B. Sugg, L. E. Walston and James B.
Hockaday.
The Chest was launched last year
in an attempt to systematize the
soliciting and donation of funds in
the town. All organizations seeking
funds or conducting drives joined the
Chest with the exception of the Red
Cress, which refused to join the
group and which conducted a separ
ate drive. It is expected that the
same schedule will foe followed this
year, although attempts are being
made eto have teh Red Cross join the
Chest this year, thus avoiding the
duplication of drives.
The Chest last year had a budget
of $6,000, more than <4,000 of which
was raised. The tentative budget for
this year calls for $6,760, exclusive
of the Red Cross, but its final adop
tion, with whatever amendments are
desired, will be on the order of busi
ness at tonight’s meeting.
Farmville Dumps
Yanceboro 26 2
The Farmville High School Red
Devils dumped Vanceboro last Friday
night 26-2 for their fifth win of the
season. Little Jess Joyner started
the fireworks with the runback of
the open’ng kick-off behind beauti
ful blocking for 80 yards. The second
' time the Red Devils had the ball they
moved some 85 yards for the toucB
down as Teddy Allen bolted through
, tackle out to the Bidelines, picked
up a couple of good blocks and scored
standing up, making the score 18-0
x as Dilda added the extra point.
Farmville held and Vanceboro was
forced to punt. Farmville got the
ball on the Vanceboro 45 yard line.
Fitzgerald pitched out to Dilda,
and Dilda charged around left end,
picked up two blockers and romped
46* yards for the touchdown. Jack
Allen put the key blocks on this run
getting two men with one block.
The second quarter was scoreless.
At the beginning of the third quar
ter, Farmville started a 70 yard drive
that netted its final touchdown with
Teddy Allen plunging oven from
about the five. A few minutes later
Farmville had the ball on their four
yard line and attempted a pitchout.
Teddy Allen was trapped in the end
zone for the safety that gave Vance
boro their two points.
Showing up well for Farmville
were C. Wooten, Jack Allen, and
Frank Moore and in the backfield
Charlie Fitzgerald handled the ball
and carried out fakes that had the
other team tackling him when he
didn’t have the ball.
Farmville plays LaGrange this Fri
day for their last home game of the
season. This promises to be a rough
ball game. The Red Devils have
shown plenty of spiMt in their work
outs this week and want to put an
end to the defeats handed them by
^LaGrange the past two years.
Jimmy Allen, rugged defensive
guard has returned to action after
being out of last week’s game.

At The Kiwanis Club
. Dr. John G. Brauer, dean of the
dental school at the University of
North Carolina, gave the Kiwanians
and their guests Monday night a
three-point program for improving
the general dental standards of the
nation. Dr, Brauer, whp told his
audience that he came from the dean
ship of the University of Southern
California because he was impressed
with the challenge offered in North
Caroline and with the foresight of
dentists and leaders whom he met on
his first visit to Chapel Mill, paid a
handsome tribute to Dr. Paul Jones
as one of the prime reasons for his
coming to the State. Dr. Jones has
been in the forefront in securing the
establishment at the dental school,
which will graduate its first class in
1964.
The three-fold program advocated
by the dean is:
(1) Total health program in the
schools.
(2) The practice of fundamental
health programs in homes.
(3) A fluoridation program for the
public water supply.
It was on the third point that he
spent the most time, and it is on this
phase that prompt action can be
taken. Dr. Brauer stated that the
addition of fluorides'to water supplies
has been known to reduce dental de
fects by at least 60 percent
That Dr. Brewer’s recommendation
pertaining to the water system will
get attention came when Dr. John M.
Mewbom suggested that the dub peti
tion the town commissioners for- such
a program, and it was indicated that
the board will get such a recommen
dation at its next meeting. Dr. Mew
bom states that the initial cost is
quite low, probably not mom than
$6,000, and that the maintenance cost
is negligible.
Dr. Brauer was introduced by Dr..
Frank Harris, program leader for the
evening. Other guests at the meet
ing were Dr. Jones, Dr. Charles E,
Fitzgerald and Dr. John Mewbom,
Dr. E. H. Oakley and J. P. Harris of
Bethel. Jess Spencer, vice-president
of the Key Club was also a visitor.
