NiAnbar 104 Youngsville Teams Favoretl Tourney Enters Setni-Finats By T. H. Pearce The first (am* In Wednesday's semi-final round at the Frank lin County High School Basket ball Tournament provided enough eictteraent to make up for the dullness of the openlnj round contests when the You ngsv Ills (Iris defeated the County champions from Bonn Si -JO In an overtime contest. The champions got off to aa early fame load and for awhile It looked like they might have things all their way. A diffe rent point of view was held by the Youngsvllle female phan toms, however, and remember ing their two defeats In regular season play, they were deter mined not to let It happen again. A four point Bunn lead at the epd of the first quarter had been cut to Just three at half tlme aad by the start of the fourth quarter, Youngsvllle sextet forged slowly ahead. to the final period, Bunn set tled down and found the range once more as they pulled even with Youngsvllle In the closing minutes of play. Trying the same strategy that had given them a victory In regular sea son play, Bunn played possesion ball, gambling for a goal la the closing seconds to put them a head. With about < seconds left In the game Peggy Strickland attempted the all Important shot and connected, to put Bunn our and connected, to put Bunn out fr&nt 30-28. B was then that Youngsvllle did the Impossible, with five seconds remaining the hot guard combination at LaRue Paschsll, Martha Lye and Mary Wrenn slammed the ball down court to Shirley W he lees, who ssnk II to 00 the (core at SO all and put the game Into the overtime. In the overtime period Bunn guards Nancy Kelly, Joan Med lln , and Betty Batton, put up a tight defense that kept the Youngsvllle forwards away from this basket. Bunn got the ball and tried the same stra tegy that had put them ahead In the final eecoMa at regulation ptay, but a foul was committed on Martha Lye, with Just If seconds remaining. She sank the free throw and that was the ball game. The teams were about as closely matched as It Is pos sible to Imagine. A large part at Youngsvllle' s strength lying in the fact that their scoring punch la evenly divided among Ady Pearce, Shirley Wheless, Mltil Tharrlngteo and LaRue Paschsll. Wheless was high tor Youngsvllle with S. Game high scoring honors went to Peggy Strickland of Bunn, who connected for IS, half her teams total.

Telephone Terrorist Caught By ?' Police A 6 foot, 250 pound negro youth, who local police said has been terrorizing local white wo men, mostly teen-ager^, for the past six months by telephoning for dates, was caught In a po lice trap here last night. Loutsburg Chief of Police Wil liam T. Dement identified the mystery caller as Earnest Ed ward Johnson, 18 year-old ne gro of Halifax Street. He was charged with assault on a fe male and with reslstln^arrest. Bloodshed Box Score RALEIGH ! The Motor Ve hicles Department's summary of traffic deaths through 10 a.m. ' Monday, February 18: KILLED TO DATE 1U KILLED TO DATE ?? LAST YEAR 121 Dement said that his depart ment had been trying to track down the source of these calls for some several months with out success. Last night, how ever, police, "wltfr the aid of a local white teen-age girl, set a trap for the caller. By agreement, Dement said, the girl was to go along with the caller's suggestions the next time he called and agree to meet him. That's exactly what hap pened, only Chief Dement prov ed to be the "blind date." . Dement declined to identify the girl, but added it tQOk plenty of courage on her part, and he commended her for cooperating with them In an effort to tr&o ihe offender. [ V The Officer said that when the huge youth realized he had showed up for a date with po lice, he put up a fierce struggle, but was unsuccessful in at tempts to escipe. ? Charter Calls For Seven Member IUmIv With lb* date of the biennial municipal ?lection drawing nearer. Town Administrator E. S. Ford this week pointed out Chances In the Town Charter that not only effects the sire of the Council, but the method of selecting the Mayor as well. Prior to the City-Manafer plan, the town was governed by the Mayor-Commission plan, directly by the electorate. The Mayor, under this plan, had a vote In matters before the body only If necessary to break a tie. Then caiqe the City- Manager plan. Under this system there were five City CouncUmen el ected directly by the people and the Council then selected the Mayor from their own number Mayor from their own number^ usually the high vote fetter In the race for the Council. The Mayor, under this system, was a full member of the Council and voted on all matters before the Council. For the past two years, the town has been operating under a modified City-Manager plan at government -approved in a charter change vote held in con junction with the last municipal election. In addition to chang ing certain areas of respon sibility, the new Charier also provided changes In the mem bership of the Council and method of selecting the Maywf to take effect at the time of the 1963 municipal election. This year, the electorate will be called upon to elect six City CouncUmen plus a Mayor as In the days of the Mayor-Com mission plan of government. The main difference under the new plan Is, however, although the Mayor will run and be voted on In a race separate from the Council, he will, upon election and assuming office, be a member of the Council also with full power to vote on any and all niatters before the Coun cil.

One thlnf for sure- If the May or and all present merfkl>ers of the Council decide to seek re election, and that Is notconstd ered probable, (here still re mains two stats to be filled. Things at this stage of the game certainly point towards a wide qpen election.
