Page Six THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, August 31, 1973 I As Seen In The Mirror^t SPORTS of Athletes and Events FYiday night’s curtain raiser here between New Bern and Havelock will be a stiff test for both ball clubs. Regardless of the outcome, the Bears and the Rams should gain much ex perience from the battle. Opening against a 4-A op ponent isn’t calculated to terriiy the visitors. Havelock has done well in recent years, and this year’s crop of gridders won’t be easily pushed around. New Bern Loon & Jewelers Your Reliable Diamond & Watch Store. 215 MIDDLE ST.

I^at fans anticipate is a wild, free scoring affair, and they’re apt to get it. 'The game will be the first for the Tar Heels on foreign soil. They open at home against William and Mary on Sept 15, and remain at Kenan Stadium the two Saturdays following for contests with Maryland and Missouri. State’s Wolfpack opens its season a week earlier than UNC, entertaining the Pirates of East Carolina in a scuffle under the lights. A week later Virginia invades Carter Stadium, and then the Wolfpack journeys to Nebraska. Duke’s Blue Devils, hoping to te in contention for the ACC title, have no soft schedule. Starting with a road game against Tennessee on Sept. 15, the Devils face Washington, Virginia, Purdue', Tulane, Clemson, Maryland, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, N. C. State and North Carolina. Wake Forest opens against Florida State, at home, on Sept. 15. A victory for the Deacons, generally unexpected, could be the tonic that would spur them to further wins.

Restore Old Trunk The “Titanic” 1,012 icebergs were sighted in 1912, the year one ice mountain slashed a 300-foot wound in the "Titanic” which sank, taking some 1,500 lives. The master of the "Ti tanic” testified he first mistook for a windjammer under full sail the iceberg that riped his 46,000- ton vessel and sank her in three hours on her maiden voyage. Into Treasure Chest RALEIGH — Old trunks are coming out of hiding and finding their spot as treasure chests in today’s houses. They make great con versation pieces and fill the need most of us have for more storage space, explains Wilma Scott, extension house furnish ings specialist, North Carolina State Uni versity. If you are lucky, the specialist notes, you may find an old trunk in your own attic or stored in a relative’s home or barn. Or you may find one at some auction or estate sale. No matter where you find your old trunk, you’ll probably need to fix it up before you can use it. Miss Scott says. So here are some ideas: The simplest way to restore an old trunk is just to clean it up. Pre pare a detergent and water solution — but be sure to test it out on an inconspicuous place before using it. Allow the trunk to dry and add a coat of paste wax. For honest beauty, leave trunk in its natural condition. If your trunk has no natural beauty, you might try painting it with a flat latex wall paint, then rub lightly with gold gilt paint to highlight the grain line. An antiquing kit will give similar results. Metal bands around the trunk can be painted black or some contrasting color. Inside, you have several choices: just leave it alone and keep the lid closed; paint it; paper it; cover with DEALER'S AUTO SERVICE Expert Body Work • 24-Hour Wrecker Service Auto Painting 429 FIRST ST. 637-5466 DAY or NIGHT Ben Moore's Shell Station 900 GEORGE SI McCreary New Tires WASH - GREASE OILS - X TIRES GUARANTEED RECAPS PRICED TO SELL We Appreciate Your Business. — Ben & Doris ^Vl/onderwHaf mates If fasTe so JOE ALCOKE LINCOLN-MERCURY 420 Tryon Palace Drive mmmt or tm coca-cou company iy New Bern Coca-Cola Boytling Works, Inc.
