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.

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.
