Sc uppernong Grapes Are Won
ders il in the home orchard. As
far back as I can remember,
whe i scuppernongs were ripe,
' at cad’s grapevine on weekends
for a mess of grapes and good
fellowship. Also, we had plenty
to pat until they were gone.
. Mother made grape jelly, grape
preserves and canned grape juice
whch we enjoyed for many
months. Does your place have
a good scuppernong vine on it?
L so, why not take care of it?
II is some trouble to keep up
and in shape, but what is worth
mjrch .that isn’t some trouble?
Now is the time to repair
the Scaffold, thin out dead wood,
and prune the scuppernong vine.
This should have been done in
November and December but
they are very busy months.
Sothe bleeding may occur where
live wood is cut but don't worry
about ’ that, just try not to cut
any large canes. Get the vine
up in good shape.

ing and Training Muscadine

Bunch Grapes Ripen Earlier

work them over. Bunch grapes
are varieties such as Fredonia,
Ontario, Delaware, Niagara, Ur

Concord.
These vines should be set 10

Ahoskie Too Much
For Edenton Aces
By BILL GOODWIN
Ahoskie’s Indians and Squaws
grabbed double Albemarle Con
ference victories over the Eden
ton Aces and Acelets in a triple
header played on the local court
Tuesday night.
The Edenton Junior Varsity
avoided a shutout by taking an
18-16 decision.
The Indians came out over
the Aces by a 42-31 count, and
the Ahoskie girls won 41-28.
The Aces, containing Indian
shooting ace Bringley Overton
with a modified zone, managed
to stay fairly close during the
first half and trailed at inter
mission 20-16. Ahoskie solved
the zone in the third quarter and
outscored the Aces 12-5 in that
period. Both teams ran rough
shod in the final eight minutes
and gathered in 10 points apiece.
Overton, usually a 20-point
performer, got only five tallies,
but Ruffin Odom scored 13 and
Wesley Wise and Earl Dilday
made ten each to lead the In
dians on.
Johnny Phillips and Jerry Tol
ley shared honors for the Aces,
each getting eight points. Billy
Dail scored five. Fred Britton
and Bobby Stokely three apiece,
and Bryant Griffin and Bill
Goodwin two each.
The Acelets, trailing 20-11 at
the half, rallied to trail by one
point at 20-19 before Ahoskie
took charge to win handily. Kay
Krause took the night’s scoring
honors by 1 bagging 27 points for
the Squaws. Mary Anne (Over
ton made 10 and Sara Relfe
Smith and Beverly Morgan nine
each so the Acelets.
Boys Getting: Better
Examples To Imitate
No matter what he says,
clothes are important to a boy.
At times, when you can’t get
him to pull in his. shirt-tail or
change his trousers, you may
find this hard to believe.
However, from the time a
youngster dons his first cowboy
suit or spaceman outfit, he is
