R. O. STEPHENS
ELECTED PRESIDENT
Of Franklin County High
School League
The Franklin County High
School League met in the office
of County Superintendent Wiley
F. Mitchell, on Thursday after
noon, October 19th. Representa
tives from all the schools were 1
present, and plans were made
for the League activities for the
year 1944-45.
The following general officers '
were elected:
R. G. Stephens, Gold Sand, 1
President.
Kelly Wallace, Franklinton,
Vice-President.
C. Ray Pruette, ? Louisburg, 1
Secretary.
Mrs. Eva Person, Gold Sand, 1
Treasurer.
O. G. Thompson, Bunn, Pub
licity Director.
For the past few years, due to 1
reasons beyond our control, the '
League has been forced to cur- 1
tall its activities. It was deemed
inadvisable this year to try to
enlarge the program, as much as 1
we would like, to include such
activities as debate teams, essay
contests and baseball; so, as last
year, the events will continue to
be limited to three- ? declamation
recitation, basketball and glee
club.
The elementary declaination
Tacitation contest will be held in
the Youngsville High School on
December 1st. This will be the
flwt of these contests and the
only league activity in which the
elementary grades are eligible to
participate. The president ap
pointed the following committee
to sponsor this contest: Mrs. J.
K. Tharrington, Youngsville,
chairman, Mrs. Clara Moore, Jus
tice, and Mrs. Margaret Holmes,
Harris.
The high school declamation
recitation contest will be held at
Epsom on December 8th, and the
following committee was appoint
ed to sponsor this event: Mrs.
Nellie McGirt, Epsom; H. D. Dan- '
iels, Edward Best; and Albert S.
Lamm, Bunn. Each school en- '
ters one boy and one girl contest
ant ? the boy to declaim and the
girl to recite. The winners o?
last year's contests are eligible as
entrants, but no contestant will
be permitted to use the same
speech used last year. Other
rules will be formulated by tho 1
committee at an early date.
The BasKetDali tournament win
be played in the Armory in Louis
burg, at the close of the regular
season. D. J. Dark, Kelly Wal
lace and E. C. Jernigan, coaches
respectively of Epsom, Franklin
ton and Mills, are responsible for
arrangements.
Plans for th? Glee Club contest
will be made by: Mrs. Bruce Hart
sell, Franklinton, Mrs. Gladys
Bailey, Mills, Miss Ruby Mayton,
Youngsville. The event is sched
uled to be held in^^ranklintoti,
April 27, 1945. ^
Rules, regulations and arrange
ments governing these contests
will be made and announced by
the respective committees several
weeks prior to the date of each
event.
Points are allotted in each con
test on basis of place won in
competition. Trophies and medals
are awarded the winners of each
event. After the last contest the
total points are tabulated and a
cup is awarded to the school
which has accumulated the most
points. Mills High School won
the cup last year.
Naturally, interest in these con
tests is county-wide because every
school participates. An effort will
be made to schedule an event in
_each school in succeeding years,
provided the facilities of the host
school are adequate in space and
equipment for the contest.
tn conclusion. Superintendent
Mitchell expressed deep appre
ciation for the activities in which
the League engaged' In last year,
and congratulated the officers for
the excellent spirit and enthusi
asm demonstrated by the , appli
cants of each event sponsored by
the League last year. He forth

NO COUPONS STORED
AT RATION BOARDS
Raleigh, Oct. 25. ? Moving to
half losses of valid rationing cur
rency through thefts, the Officc
of Price Administration has' an
nounced no gasoline, sugar or
other official coupons are now
stored at local War Price and Ra
tioning Boards.
District OPA director, Theo
dore 9. Johnsen said storage of
coupons at local boards was halt
ed because thieves had made sev
eral large hauls in the Southeast
by burglariiing Board offices
"Stolen Coupons," he said "had
becomg a menace to the gasoline
and sugar rationing programs
comparable to counterfeit cou
pons. Although local Boards ex
ercised extreme care and. In most
cases, stored coupons in vaults or
in nearby Jails, professional crim
inals found ways to steal valid
coupons."
During the month of Septem
ber, regional OPA officials in At
lanta said burglars who entered
local Board offices found their
efforts unprofitable and the lots
of coupons by theft in the South
eastern region was negligible.
Celluloid, the first plastic, was
developed In 1869 on a wood pulp
baSe, as a result of a search (or a
substitute for Ivory billiard balls.
