EDENTON FIGHTERS
TAKE MATCH FROM
Y ROCKY MOUNT HIGH
The Edenton High School boxing
team turned back the fighters from
Rocky Mount High School last Thurs
day night in. the Edenton Armory
when out of a card of six bouts two
resulted in draws, Edenton won three
and lost one. A large crowd of fight
fans were on hand to witness the
fights, which provided many thrills.
In the opener, Tom Wilder, 99, and
Holmes, 98, fought to a draw in a
match which lacked the action usually
*' displayed by this class of boxers.
The second bout also resulted in a
draw with Pete Everett, 119, oppos
ing Perry, 115. In this fight also
both fighters lost right much time
sparring, seeking an opening, but
mixed things right much in the last
round.
i The first decision came in the third
fight of the evening when William
Cayton, 121, easily outclassed D.
Brake, 119. Cayton had the better of
the argument in all three rounds, get
ting in punches almost at will and
displaying a good brand of foot work.
Bill Harrell, 130, scored the only
knock-out of the evening when
Farmer, 129, ace of the Rocky Mount
team went down for the count in the
first round. Harrell at the start of
the fight sent a series of hard blows
to the face and body that sent his
opponent to the floor. After remain
ing down for the count of nine he
resumed fighting, but very shortly
went down the second time, and be
fore the round ended he fell to the
floor with an injured shoulder and
was counted out.
> The only victory for Rocky Mount
was the semi-final fight when Lance
Bufflap, 137, forfeited to J. Brake,
135. Bufflap, who hadn’t fully recov
ered from an attack of flu, had the
better of the first round, but weaken
ed in the second and was forced to
use what energy remained to protect
himself. Coach House refused to al
low him to continue the fight under
the circumstances, thereby giving
Brake the decision.
Richard Rogerson, 163, gained a
decision over Council, 162, in the final
fight of the evening. The fighters
were evenly matched, but Rogerson
appeared to have a shade the better
of the argument, using his left hook
to the body to very good advantaj

Birth Certificates
Reach Washington
Fully 20,000 little buff-colored
cards each representing the birth of
a baby in North Carolina during the
past year, had arrived in Washington
properly filled in by as many parents
by Saturday night.
This number is estimated, based on
receipt by Tuesday night of last week
of 10,200, and slightly more than
15,000 that had reached the Bureau
of the Census by Thursday night.
This is a splendid record, according
to Willard C. Smith, assistant chief
statistician, and H. R. Green, special
agent, of the Bureau of the Census,
who arrived in Raleigh last week ana
have been traveling over the State
assisting in organizing field forces to
see that all “Register Your Baby”
campaign cards are returned.
North Carolina has made a splen
did start and is expected to take its
place among the leaders in percent
age of cards returned, properly filled
out, Mr. Smith and Mr. Green stated.
They urge that every parent of every
child bom within the last year fill in
and mail these cards, in order to make
the State record as complete as pos
sible. The local postoffice will supp.y
any parents who, for any reason,
failed to get these cards last week.
The State Board of Health, the
Census Bureau and the State Emer
gency Relief Administration .are co
operating in this campaign ,to make
it possible that every child bom in
the State the past year and from now
on may be able to secure a birth cer
tificate—described the “baby’s citizen
ship papers.”
