BOONVILLE TAKES OPENER OVER NORTH WILKESBORO FRIDAY 20-7 Ed Cherry, assistant manager of the Southeaatern division of the United States Cbamt>er of Commerce, told a membership meeting of the Wilkes Chamber of Commerce FViday night that per capita business levels are In direct proportion to, education In the United States. Speaking on the suibject of “Education—lAn Investment in People,” Mr. Cherry told his lis teners and showed by charts that states which spend most for edu cation have higher educational levels in citizenship, which Is reflected in the same proportions in every index of businees activ ity. His charts showed that the southeastern states, including North Carolina, have low aver ages in per capita retail sales and low educational levels, rank ing practically the same In bnS' iness liudex. He stressed the im portance of ibusinesB cooperating with education. The fate of the nation he said, depends upon keeping a high level of business activity in order that the nation may raise a yearly budget of 20 billions for yearly expenditures and interest on the national debt of near 270 billions. J. B. Carter, vice president of the Chamiber of Commerce, pre sided in the absence of Presi dent J. B. Williams. He welcom ed the attendance of about 100 chamber members and presented committee chairmen who made excellent reports of chamber ac tivities to date. W. 0. Marlow, Trade Promo tion chairman, gave an Interest ing report of plans for Farmers’ Day October 2 and said plans are to continue the event as an an nual affair. J. B.

With the exception of the two 70-yard runs by Pardne. the game was on even term*. Playing On a wet field in a drizzle of nta. the teapis were held to straight football during much of the contest. Boonville opened offense play after taking a third down punt from North Wilkesboro, and the visitors threw an early scare In to the crowd by advancing to the 10-yard line, where they loet the ball on the fumble. They took the ball again down inside the 20 and the wet ball got away again. North Wilkesboro then started an offensive drive with Sturdi vant and Rousseau doing most of the ball carrying chores. This drive paid off when CaudlU, plunging fuliback, went over from the one yard line and Stur divant ran the extra point But Boonville evened up the count in a matter of seconds. Pardne took the kickoff, and after evading a number of at tempted tackles outran every body to score. Boonville received on the opening play of the second haU and Pardue almost duplicated his first touchdown performance. He ran the baU 70 yards but a clipping penalty stiwped the ^1 short of pay dirt Two plays .la'tw Pardue shot a pass Into ,gey’s hands for the score and extra point was rung up by end rnn, North Wilkeaboro put on an- offense that looked good Mb«t*feU short and Boonville put oa another drlTe that wided in ^the a 20-yard end run by Pardue for the third score. Try for extra point failed. In the waning minutes of the game North Wilkesboro fought valiantly for another score, with Sturdivant throwing beautiful southpaw passes that often found their mark. But this drive end ed in an interception. , A large crowd of football hungry fans braved the rain to see Coach Howard Bowers’ boys perform and were treated to a splendid game. Pardue’s speed as a ball carrier and downfleld blocking made the difference in the score. Harold Sturdivant’s triple threat task of running, passing and punting in the North Wilkesboro backfield was out standing. The team played well as a unit, showing splendid co ordination.
