CHRISTMAS STEAM
Walking up the Avenue the other
day we passed a bunch of the High
School Girls basketball team. I no
ticed that they were giving me sever
al hard looks as I was approaching.
One of them said, “We are mad with
you about your write up of th eEliza
beth City game.” I wanted to know
why. Soon I learned that the reas
on was the nicknames I applied to
several of the players. “Spec” Hines,
who holds down a guard position
sadi that she did not mind about hers,
but Mildred Tudor objected to the
name “Shorty.” Personally, I think it
would be a good idea for the girls
to have names like that. Now, for in
stance, we would call Miss Cameron
“Slim” or call Captain Stainback
“Runt,” or we would call Miss Wilson
“Altitude.” We have several more
in mind and will try and work them
up before our next writeup of a game.
It will soon be time for baseball
again. We wonder if tHe Textile
League will function this summer.
We hope so. It was a boon to base
ball in this town. Under the proper
management this league will be an
asset to the Twin Cities.
Please Santa Claus: Bring Carroll
Wilson a safety razor. Bring Ned
Manning a plug of chewing tobacco.
Bring Roanoke Rapids a good bas
ketball team, and bring Old Timer a
new pair of underwear. That’s all,
Santa.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
We wish all the readers of the
Sport page a Merry Christinas, plen
ty of (hie) good cheer and every
thing that goes with it. We hope that
the New Year will bring you many
joys (hie).
We think it would be a good idea
for Captain Sullivan of the Yellow’
Jackets to call for practice immedi
ately after Christmas, before school
starts. If the boys are willing which
I am sure they are, it would be quite
a start for Coach Hoyle to return and
find the squad in good condition and
ready to start the conference schedule.
Robert Gray of Chicago, on trial
for vagrancy, was freed when he said:
“Your honor look at them blisters.
How can I ge tlike that unless I
work?"
INEW YEARS
FOOTBALL
Every day we pick up the News
and Observer and read about the my
thical Carolina Poke game that will
be played for chatty. It brings *n
'dea. Why not have a big mytoica
footba'l game hc*c on Ne v
Day between the Textile All-Stars
and the Merchants All-Stars. The
gate fee will bo two dollars( myth
ical) and it v ill be or * of the best
games ever played in the town All
gate receipts will g oto the Associ
ated Charities for the use of the
needy. Of course yon auII w inc to
know who will pi_y. I nave picked
out a team that would do credit to
the Textile industry, and another
team to represent the merchants that
cannot be heat.
On the Textile tc**vn we wu start
off with their backfield. At fullback
we would place Towe of Roanoke
Mills, a goqd man hard to stop and
with his cigar would be a hit. At
the halfback we would place Man
ning of the Rosemary Manufactur
ing Co. We mean Will Manning and
as his running mate have Louis Can
j non. Both are hard to stop if they
ever get started. At the quarterback
I position we could place McGee of the
Rosemary Manufacturing Co. Mc
Gee should run the team quite well
and is a triple threat man—hit, bite
and kick. This is a good backfield.
In the line we would have Tom Mul
len of Rosemary at right end, Frank
Williams at right tackle. Williams
hails from Roanoke Rapids. Sam
Peace of Roanoke at right guard, Ned
Manning of Rosemary at Center.
.Jackson of Roanoke at left guard
Taylor of Patterson Mill at left tackle
and Hugh Camp at left end.
The Merchants would have “Doc'*
Martin of the Rosemary Drug Co.,
at fullback, one of the best backs
in town. Tommy Jenkins and J. H.
Matkins a tthe halfback positions and
Curt Shell at quarterback. In the line
they would have Em mteMtaTHdfa(
they would have Emmett Matthews at
right end, Duke Wade at right tackle,
George Taylor, at right guard and
Frank Wilson at center. At left guard
we would have Jack Weissner, left
tackle Jim Taylor, left end Joe Wells.
For a Reserve backfield we would
have a J. Allsbrook .fullback, Zol
licoffer and Kelly Jenkins at the half
backs and Reeves Manning at quarter
back. If the first backfield could not
score we would guarantee this one
would. All are lawyers—enough
said. Howard Pruden has consented

SPORT BRIEFS
We think that our mythical foot
ball game between the Merchants and
the Textile All Stars will go over
quite big. You can see that both
teams are strong and with McGee and
Shell at the quarterback positions it
should be a nip and tuck battle. The
merchants boast of a great fullback in
Doc Martin who can rip thru a line
to a fare ye well.
We thank Old Timer for his Christ
mas gift, “they hit the spot.” We
would like to thank him personally
but as he is unknown we will have to
be content with this little writeup. Ev
ery time I light one of the cigarettes
tha the sent me I will think of the re
spective merits of the various Roa
noke Rapids teams and dream of days
gone by, never to return.

Ad In The Herald
Quoted By National
Insurance Magazine
Th eDecember number of “Service
Bulletin" an insurance magazine with
, national circulation carries the fol
lowing item:
An Exception Insurance Newspa
per Ad. The close tie-up fo the insur
ance business with the news was
strikingly illustrated when the Bounds
Insurance Agency of Rosemary, N. C.,
published one of the most effective
newspaper advertisements which we
have ever seen.
In a space of two columns by eleven
inches, this enterprising agency ran
a story and photograph of a local ac
cident that happened at South Rose
mary.
The advertisement is titled,
“Where The Car Hit.” Below this
caption is a photograph of a most
throuoghly wrecked filling station. In
a boxed space follows an account of
the accident which includes the men
tion of the fact that the driver of the '
car suffered the loss of his right arm.
The balance of the advertisement
is devoted to short, pointed para
graphs on the subject of automobile
liability and property damage insur
ance and mention of the $10.00 per
sonal accident automobile policy.
It is truly an attention compelling,
thought provoking advertisement
combining all the necessary qualifi
cations of timeliness—local news in
terest and powerful sales appeal.
Our congratulations to this alert
agency and we feel sure that good re
sults may be traced to this publicity.

IN MEMORIAM
In memory of our dear baby, Ver
gie Mason Askew, who died December
28, 1928.
Heaven retain her treasures
In her lonely casket sleep
There is a sad but sweet remember
ance
Of the one we could not keep.
No one knows how much we miss you
Miss you more and more each day.
And the moon and stars are shining
On that sad and lonely grave.
Dear Vergie, your place will forever
be vacant,
In our home is bitter pain,
For the one we love so dearly
We always hope to meet again.
When all our work is over
When God calls all his children home
That’s whne we shall meet again, dear
Around that great and golden throne.
Your Mother and Daddy.

turned from a visit in Emporia.
