Near Theater
Announcement has been made of
the removal of the production
rooms of the Roanoke Rapids
chapter of the American Red
Cross from the building adjacent
to the Imperial theater in uptown
Roanoke Rapids, to a building at
the corner of 10th and Henry
streets, it was learned here today.
The Rosemary Manufacturing
Company has given their old li
brary and band hall building to
the use of the Red Cross, and
new floors have been laid, the
interior freshly painted, windows
screened, making an ideal work
room for the ladies participating
in the Red Cross program.
Mrs. F. G. Jarman, chairman of
the committee on surgical dress
ings for the local chapter, has
announced that she will notify all
volunteer workers when this ac
tivity is to start.
The chairman of production,
Mrs. Jennie Zollicoffer, issued a
note of thanks to Lee Wheeden
for making possible the use of
the building formerly occupied by
the Rosemary Cafe, for the past
few months in order that the Red
Cross could carry on its activities
in a location that would be near
by to all workers.
• cuts Attendance M
Ra'" pLoroimds During
Ci*Y , ,73 Attend
Past Week; l.1”
Due to frequent rains during the
past week attendance at the city’s
four children’s playgrounds was
cut down to a total of 1,273, it
was revealed in the weekly report
issued by the recreation commit
tee.
Patterson, as usual, led in num
ber of children attending the
weekly programs, with 466, while
Rosemary had 344. Central had
306, with Bunker Hill trailing
with 151.
The girls of all the playgrounds
have had an increase in attend
ance during the past week. Much
interest has been displayed in
the games and prizes offered. At
Central every morning there has
been a story period, during which
children hear and tell stories. On
the Rosemary playground, the
girls are proud of their increased
attendance.
In the Boys’ Softball League,
Central continued its winning
ways. Outstanding was its 18 to
0 win over Bunker Hill. Central
was able to gain second place,
while the failing Rosemary team
slipped to third.
In the Junior circuit, Patterson
slipped and lost two in a row.
The cellar Rosemary team won its
first victory of the year by up
setting Patterson with only one
week of Boys’ league play left.
The teams representing both cir
cuits just about have the two
flags in the bag. But in the
Boys’ league there was a possibil
ity of Central tieing them up.
After the league closes playoffs
for the city championships will
begin in both leagues.
