JAX BEAT TARBORO 21-7 AS BURTON'S PASSING FEATURES The Roanoke Rapids Yellow Jackets met a heavy Tarboro High School club Nov. 11, and wrenched a 21 to 7 victory from them. In the first half of the game the Jax allowed the Tarboro backs to break away for long gains. Tar boro recovered a fumbled punt and after a series of hard drives, Stricklein of Tarboro, plunged over for Tarboro’s score. Another plunge accounted for the extra point. The Jax were able to drive within scoring distance of the goal but were unable to push it across. Another fumbled punt almost pav ed the way for a second score by Tarboro, but the Jax managed to hold. With the score 7 to 0 against them, the Yellow Jackets came back with a charging offensive at tack that drove the Tarboro club back to their own goal in the third quarter. A short, quick pass from Burton to Bennett gave the Jax their first tally. The extra point was scored by another pass from Burton to Bennett. For the rest of the game the Jax, played one of the best games of the season. Mills intercepted a pass on about the thirty-five yard line and ran it over for the Jax second score. The extra point was made by Wright on a line buck. Burton carried the ball on an off tackle play for the Jax third touch down. A short pass thrown by Burton to Brown scored the extra point. Burton, one of the Jax’ outstand ing threats of the day, threw five passes during the game and every one hit the mark. Three of them were for scores, one netting a touchdown and two getting extra points. Burton also made several nice gains around the flanks. Ben nett, who received the majority of Burton’s heaves, was another big factor in the Jax victory. Mills came back into the game during the last quarter to rip holes in the opposition. Byrd was outstanding in his work at end. The entire squad played a much better brand of football in the sec ond half.

Shell, in connection with the Post Office Department’s celebration of No vember as the Silver Jubilee of the establishment of this important branch of the Postal Service. "Parcel post is the greatest ex tension of postal facilities in world postal history. The Founding Fa thers of this Government, 150 years ago, must have had a remarkable vision of the future when they a dopted a resolution in the Conti nental Congress authorizing the postmaster general to “fix such rates per pound weight as he may judge will be most likely to induce persons to send such packets by post.” “By 1910 modern life had devel oped a demand for a universal, low rate postal service which made in evitable the enactment by Congress in 1912 of the law establishing our modern parcel post. From the day it started, parcel post won increas ing public favor,” Mr. Shell said. "By the time parcel post was in augurated, January 1, 1913, the for mer miniature postal system of the United States, of 1789. with only 25 post offices, less than 100 employees and receipts of not quite $25,000, had grown to be the largest single business in the entire world! Yet in the 25 years since 1913, par cel post has leaped to second place in the United States postal reve nues. In the number of parcels handled annually, parcel post ex ceeds the total mail of all classes of certain foreign countries. “Historically, our mails were first opened to merchandise in Lincoln’s time, for ‘seeds, bulbs, slips, and cuttings.’ Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock inaugurated the modern service, John Wanna maker, famous merchant and for mer postmaster general (1889-93), mailing the first package at Phila delphia, some souvenir spoons to President Taft.” “The expected package is a thrill,” said Mr. Shell. “The sur prise package is a climax! Make use of the parcel post service!” Mr. and Mrs. Grover Taylor, Mrs. Hazel Rook and son,. James Mor ris, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Lambert son were guests of Mrs. A. H. Pearson at Bracey Sunday. jrV~B A5 £ B ALL W/jjfi H i1> ' k/DISDAIN #£f M {.PLAYED football SfoWAFFORD/lfllu IS Coach HoyLfS PETE" 15 AN ASSET LrS UT IS RiGHT HARD MAR. TO the ^school AND City.

The Virginia Club is expected to bring over Wilson Bradshaw, Cul len Faison, Bernard Coulter and Dick Martin and quoting a para graph from a letter received No vember 14th, the boys state, “We expect to put on the best fight in Roanoke Rapids of the season.” As an added attraction the new ly organized "Owl” Hill-Billy band will entertain the patrons from eight o’clock until the fights start which will be promptly at eight thirty.
