George Nethercutt, local boy, did not play due to a bus iness trip to Wilmington; however, Jack Vincent played and got a cou ple of nice base knocks. To Mr. and Mrs. Phil Phan City. Dear Mr and Mrs. Softball Phan: Don’t ride the Romaneos when a visiting team fails to live up to ex pectations, as the affair Saturday night. I book all the games so take it out on me. The team has nothing to do with who they play— and frankly they’d rather play a good team than a sorry one. You can’t book a perfect ball club every week, but when they are rotten, ride me. Don’t ride the team, be cause it’s me who’s to blame.—I can take it. Sincerely yours! ' Bill. —o— When Y. B. M. C. was booked they bad a two-game lead in the City League in Raleigh. They lost the first half title by one game to Johnson Coal. The absence of George Nethercutt was unfortunate. Due to business reasons he had to be in Wilmington, N. C. over the week-end. George has a job to take care of—so business before pleasure! Our remarks last week in regard to the girls playing Henderson was made entirely in a spirit of fun. We know from past experience that it is hard to book games for a girls team, due to the fact that there are not many close around.

P. Beckwith. The letter received by the local woman is as follows: Mrs. R. P. Beckwith The British War Relief Society Inc., Roanoke Rapids, N. C. , Dear Mrs. Beckwith, As Representative of the British War Relief Society here in Lon don, I feel that I must write you, and through you all your helpers, how deeply and sincerely grate ful are the people to whom these gifts from America have come. It has often been difficult for them to obtain the names of the donors or donors committees to whom they wish to write let ters of thanks and for that rea son it is possible that you may not have had direct testimony from the beneficiaries themselves of their thankfulness as often ex pressed to us here for these things which they so badly need. Scores of letters pass over my desk weekly and are sent donors, but we feel that sometimes they r;o astray. I am suggesting to the British War Relief Society Main Office in New York that a system be adopted making it possible for these recipients to express their gratitude to the proper people. Certain suggestions have been made and in due course of time you will probably receive a re quest to so inscribe your con signments that English people here may send their thanks direct to you. Until that happens, please al low me on their behalf as well as my own, to give you definite assurance that not only have these gifts been the direct answer to thousands of cases of real need and suffering, but that much has been done by your work and that of other Committees of the British War Relief Society working throughout the country, to cement that feeling of friendship and mutual co-operation which is so necessary for the future of all English speaking people. Very sincerely yours, Bertram Cruger (Representative in Great Britain) Negress Is Shot In Northampton On Way to Church Viola Gee, Negress, was brought to the local hospital Sunday for treatment of a gunshot wound in the leg.

All appointments for the clinic should be made in advance through the office of the health department, and a small fee will be charged for each operation. Surgeons from the Edgecombe County General Hospital at Tarboro will perform the operations. Branch - Smith Mrs. J. W. Smith of Roanoke Rapids announces the marriage of her daughter, Marvit M.
