JUNIORS
AS HOSTS
Roanoke Rapids Juniors will be
hosts to the 22nd district North
Carolina Jr. O. U. A. M. on Fri
day, November 17th.
A large crowd is expected i'i
Roanoke Rapids that day from
the eleven Councils in Halifax,
Northampton, Hertford and Bertie
Counties, which comprise the 22nd
District. The total membership in
this district is around 400.
A well planned program is being
planned by the local Council which
includes speeches by State Coun
cillor Siske and other notables and
an old fashioned barbecue and
brunswick stew dinner.
DON’T NEGLECT
It is particularly unwise to allow
leaks to spring and be temporar
ily “patched up,” because although
you may spend only a couple of
dollars a tth etime—you will even
tually run into trouble, and have
to undertake a much greater cost
in the replacement of the affect
ed pipes. It is far cheaper and
wiser to have a thorough job done
immediately—and as soon as pos
sible—because lower labor costs
now prevail than will later in the
season—and plumbing materials
are also cheaper.
Secretary Wallace minces no
words. He says inflation is possi

Quite a number from Roanoke
Rapids attended the Duke-Tennes
see football game in Durham last
Saturday.

John D. Canncn, Roanoke Rap
ds boy, who has been held under
a $10,000 bond in the Cannon
murders, was a free man Tuesday.
On motion of the defense, the
Boydton, Va., court ruled Tuesday
that Cannon could no longer be
held on the bond posted after the
nreliminary hearing when he was
held for grand jury action.
The killing of four Cannons,
relatives of John, was in March of
rhis year in Mecklenburg County,
Virginia.
Cannon was also questioned here
last week in connection with the
slaying of Marvel Cullom, who was
a witness in the preliminary hear
nig of the Virginia case. Officers
here we# convinced he had noth
ing to do with the Cullom murder.
The boy left the first of this
