Highway Safety Campaign in N. C. Schools Tax Returns Increase?Number Schools May Lose Rating?Beard Still Sought?Ten Days In A Well?G a s Ghamher Okeh-_r!itch-Hikes To Jail?Barely Beat Deadline?Innocent Youth Shot?Paul Green Premiere ? flefilrns from taxes on consump tion soared in North Carolina las: month. Each of the three direct consumption taxes, the three per cent general sale, tax, the gasoline tax and the levy on beer, showed a large increase over collations for November of last year, and the ag gregate increase was largely re sponsible for a 9.67 per cent in crease in all State revenue collec ? i ons ..lor the month. Over 50 high schools in North Carolina are expected to lose their Grade A rating with the Association . f Secondary Schools and Colleges of the Southern States because they do no; have nine-months terms. Only 11 school units in the Scate have voted supplementary I taxes for extension cf their school ! terms. Loss of the Grade A rat ' in? would be a slight hindrance to graduates desiring to enter colleges out of this S.ate. Search for D wight, Beard, 25-ycar 1 old college-educated killer and thief who escaped from the Central Pri \ sen at Raleigh last summer while : he was serving a life term for mur ! der. is being pressed in Western !

He disappeared during a drunken spree and fell in to the well, which was dry. Sun day. a group of hunters, attracted to the well by the barking of their dogs, found Dyson half-dead from hunger and cold. After two days in a North Wiikesboro hospital. Dy son was ready to go home. North Carolina's new lethal gas chamber operates perfectly and! painlessly, two United States Health Service physicians and Dr. Carl V. Reynolds. State Health officer, de cided Tuesday after watching a dog put to death in the second demon stration cf the device. The dog howled loudly, as did the first, but the physicians said it was onvolun tarv and did not indicate pain. The belief had been expressed that the chamber tortured before killing be cause the first dog on which it was tes.ed howled loudly before dying. Private G.

Paul Green's new eight-scene play. "The Enchanted Maze," will be given its world premiere by the Carolina Piaymaker- at Chapel Hill this week end. Mr. Green has woven into his latest play a panoramic view of a composite university and in ironic and satiric manner exposes its dis- j iliusionments and hypocrisies, its! hopes and attainments. Safety Campaign North Carolina law enforcing of-, ficers have invited the public schools , of the State to join forces with them, beginning this week, in what promises to be the widest and most concerted effort for highway safe ty made in North Carolina. The first step was taken when 250.000 copies of the Institute of Govern- \ ment's 32-page study, "Guides To High Safety." were mailed to high I schools thruotu the State. New Adoption Law Under North Carolina's new adop tion law. which went into effect i Sunday, secret or closed records of I the social history of adopted chil-' dren and of the foster parents will j be kept in a locked case by the State Board of Charities and Pub-1 lie Welfare. These records may be inspected only under written orders! from Superior Court judges. There ! are other important provisions in1 the new law.

Sunday, with several new faces in the line-up, they were the most aggressive club that has! worn the red and white this season.1 i Roger Shannonhouse, James Cooper, and Earl Perry all call our fair city home. They were in the Louisburg line-up here Thanksgiv- j ing when the Collegians tied up with 1 the Cards -and all three of them j gave a good account of themselves, j Roger was especially effective | against his former schoolmates, scoring his team's only touchdown j and running the team from quarter j | like a veteran. j Cecil Reel announced last week that this season would be his last I i year as a football player. ' Rap" i as he is called by his team mates, j will be missed in the Cardinal line and fans of the gridiron regret very i much to see him hang up his mole skins for keeps. Incidentally, Cecil played the best game of his career Sunday in the game with the Red | Raiders. I I noticed that one of America's i oldest sports is again the rage in | Elizabeth City. On Riverside Drive, at the Elizabeth City Ship Yards, the men employed on the yachts | and also the men that live opposite 1 the Ship Yards on that street all get together for a honest-to-good ness game of horseshoes. Sunday a four-handed game was in progress j and I judge there were around thir ty enthusiastic spectators standing around when I passed by. Claiborne Nixon, reports that footballing up at Duke University is no set-up. You work or you gel out. Maybe that explains that 25 to 0 store on November 17th? Basketball will soon be in full swing in the Albemarle again, as football gives full notice that it is about ready to share the limelight, due to the chilly weather that drives | the fans indoors. This year should be the best year for basket ball in1 many years. Why? Because more schools are organizing teams and their are more gyms in the section than ever before to accomodate the teams. The competition will be closer and the interest will boom as a result. The rural conference, already in full swing. Is having a banner year and the competition is very keen. There are more inde pendent clubs being organized than in past years. The Elizabeth City High School girls team has already started practice and the boys will follow suit next week. Both teams report prospects good. The Cardi nals. an independent club will be organized this week end and prom ises to be the fastest court club to ever represent the Pasquotank City on the hard wood. On my trip through the central part of the state last week I notic ed that the skeet clubs were in full swing and were attracting a large and colorful following. AVo all along the highway there were several turkey "shooting." These, Turkey "shoots" are quite interest ing. The man in charge of the Turkeys picks up a Turkey and weighs the bird. We'll say it weights 15 pounds. He take up fifteen pieces of cardboard about six inches square and then he immediately cells the fifteen cards at 35 cents, each. The purchasers write their' name on the card and hand them j back to the man in charge. He t places them on standards forty or fifty feet away and you shoot at them as your card is posted. Every one hits the card, that is every one did until I shot, so to determine the winner a cross is drawn in the center of the card and the shot that comes the closest to the middle of the cross is declared the owner of a turkey., Pretty cheap turkey for 35 cents eh what. The outstanding events of , the week? National ? Columbia trips Dartmouth. State ? Carolina stampedes i Virginia. Local?The Cardinal fine play in week end games. ?????i?~ : Six of North Carolina's leading ! sports Editors cast their votes for ; the selection of the All-State team . and in my opinion did a very good ; job. apparently judging players by I their performances and not their i reputation. However there is one | thing I can't understand. Now , don't get me wrong?I don't think 1 I am any kind of authority or j critic, but I do feel Walton Kit- j chen has been done an injustice, j Each writer was entitled to his ; own opinion * and I suppose^ each ! one of them weighed the question j thoroughly, but why, may I ask did < Anthony J. McKelvin leave Walton | Kitchen off his first team? Mr. McKelvin has witnessed Wal- I ton grow up from a little boy. And ' like all the students who attended 1 the Baptist institution while Wal-. ton was growing up. marveled at his football ability as a youngster. He starred on tiie scout team, then the high school team and then at Oak Ridge. Finally, returning to Wake Forest, he developed into one cfl the best backs in the south. Op posing coaches have praised this youngster for his passing, running and generalship in practically every game the Deacons have engaged.) Wallace Wade v.ms high in praises, rating Kitchen with any in the south. Mr. Wade has proven his knowledge of football is by no means limited Incidentally, the News & Observer sports edtior was the only writer that placed Kitchen I on the second team so lie received sufficient votes to make the honor- j ed team, however. I still can't tin- I derstand why. of all people, that | McKelvin should be the one to keep | Kitchen from being a unanimous choice along with Parker and West. I Mr. MctKelvin asks for argument in his article in Sunday's paper and here ic mine. Also he con tends that his rea on for selecting Bardes for the fourth position in the backfieid was due to his ver satile style of play. Now I ask, those 01 you that have seen the two in action, which is the more ver satile. Kiltchen or Bardes? Reports have reached my cars from the Capitol that Hunk An derson. who proved himself a cap able line coach and an expert rhow man in his 1935 edition of the Woif pr.ck. will have a new backtield pack, will have a new backfield coach next y.'ar, possibly Frank Caridco. Fred Dixon's fine public ity work also helped to increase the gate from 330.039 to 540.000 over tiie preceding season. I hop? the horse lovers around this section will not think that I have forgotten about mentioning the fine horses around here, but as scon as football season dies down I intend writing a few articles about the licr-cs. The horse has been greatly neglected in recent years. However, we still have a few that stand by Old Faithful. Walter i Wood has some prize horses and Mr. Luther. City Chemist, has one of the best blccdctl horses in the East. Harry Ferebee ct Camden still raises some nice perehons and their are several others in the Albe marle that weald be worth looking at. prediction* iui me YY^?.n.
