Envelopes By Christ
mas Eve
ant-
Mrs; C. A. DavenDort. chai rman of
the Christmas Seal campaign for
Perquimans County reported Monday
that the sale of the seals here is lag-
" STW behind quotas made last year.
Total sales reported up to Monday
' amounted to $235, while the county's
cruota for the camDairn la Sfinn It
Is hoped by the committee that the
' jpumio response during the final days
' of the drive will be sufficient to put
the campaign across.
".Th drive will come to a close on
Christmas Eve, and all persons who
have received seals through the mail,
requesting the purchase of the seals,
are asked to mail in remittance by
this date. A large number of the
seals were sent out in this manner
d and it is Mrs. Davenport's belief that
the envelopes and seals have been
laid aside and forgotten or overlook
" f ed en the part of many who received
them. She is not of the opinion that
interest is lacking so she is appeal
ing to those who have not sent in
, . their money for the seals to do so
at once.
I-,'., It has been pointed out that the
money realized from the sale of
eslSvH used to combat tuberculosis,
sad the greater the amount raised
Jiere the more money the local com
mittee will have to accomplish its
, . work here in Perquimans County.

Indians And SquaYs
Split With Central
Perquimans High School divided a
double header basketball bill with
Central High School last Friday
night when the kMs won an over
time game 28-24 while the Indians
lost a listless battle to the Central
boys 29-20.
The Squaws opened the lirt eame
by gaining a commanding 9-4 lead
in tne nrst quarter and it looked as
though the local girls were in for
easy sailing but Central spurted dur
ing the second half and tied the score
at 2.'i-all as the whistle ended the
: regular Dlariner time. Half time
score was 18 to 11 in favor of Per-
quimans. '1 Central outscored the
point lead but failure to score but
one point in the final period caused
the game to go into an overtime con
test. During the extra three minutes
of play the Squaws racked up five
points to Central's one and the final
eount was 28-24 for Perquimans.
In the boys game Central got off
to a fast start and collected nine
points to the Indians two in the first
period but the Indians turned on in
the second period to score 7 points
while holdino- Central tn a Inn Ku
ket and the half time score was 11-0
in favor of Central. The Indians
recked up seven more points in the
third quarter mark 10-15.
The Indians faltered during the
final period, however, and nermitted
the Central boys to get loose for nu
I merous shots which were converted
into points and Central collected 14
tallies to Perquimans' four to win by
a nine point margin.
