C. P. Allen, local chairman, inounced this week.

"Stamps were used as a means raising money for hospitals as n ng ago as the Civil War," the h lairman pointed out. "In 1897 such c stamp was sold in Australia to se- I ire funds for the establishment of v tuberculosis hospital. But it is to o ie inspiration of a Danish postal fi erk, Einar Holboell, that we owe f; ? Christmas Seal idea as it has c iveloped in the past 25 years. He y was who in 1903 interested his e ivernment in the idea of a sale of amps at Christmas time to build | a hospital for tubercular children. t, ne idea was adopted in this r untry in 1907. From the first such g amps have had a double value. v hey have been effective as a eans of money raising and they r vp been a potential vehicle for ie spread of health education." I Commening on the Seal Sale sterday, R. C. Cox, principal of ,e John Graham high school, said M at there were more than 100 un:rnourished children enrolled at te local school. Pointing out the s ;ed for funds to provide milk for ^ lese children, he expressed the f )pe that citizens would respond a jerally in purchasing the seals, not s lly to aid in the fight on tubercu- 0 sis made over the nation, but also fc i help in a splendid cause locally. * OFFICERS CAPTURE STILL r A 65-gallon capacity copper still J as captured Saturday afternoon s i the result of a raid by Deputies I D. and J.

Especial memtion is due L. C. Kinsey, who played the most difficult part well, to little Miss Mary Harrison of Henderson for vocal numbers, to Misses Arline Lindsay and Anna Cohoon, to the juvenile choruses, to John Henderson and Henry Anderson for their harmonica selections, and to A. J. Ellington who starred as the negro preacher in perhaps the best scene of the minstrel proper. Proceeds from the play will be sent to Oteen for disabled World War Veterans, it is said. False Alarm Cause Manv to Leave Play ? ^ _ I A false alarm was thrown in at the fire switch in south Warrenton [last Friday night about 9:30 | o'clock. It is not known who threw in the switch. j The siren shrieked for only a few minutes before the falsity was J discovered, however the alarm drew many from their seats at the local school where a home talent play was in progress. The play continued and those who left the auditorium soon returned, as did those who had | been called from their fireside and j various other places. Smi RIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, K LOCALS A BENEFIT GAME John Graham School Football Players to Clash With Spring Hope Tuesday GUESTS OF KIWANIANS Football players of the John Graham high school have battled for the fun of the game and for the glory of their school in weekly clashes since the formation of a football team here this Fall. Next Tuesday afternoon they will clash with Spring Hope in order to provide funds for undernourished schoolmates. The game will be called at 3:15 o'clock and is expected to draw the largest crowd of the season. Spring Hope defeated Warrenton two weeks ago at Spring Hope. The local boys are determined to have their revenge Tuesday afternoon as well as to provide funds for a good purpose. The local boys will play Whitakers this afternoon at Whitakers. This is the second game that Warrenton will play with this team. Whitakers met the locals in the first game of the season here and took home the big end of a 13-7 score. Warrenton defeated Norlina here last Friday afternoon to the tune of 20 to 12 in one of the hardest fought games of the season. Starring for the locals were Haithcock and Terrell, the former scoring two touchdowns and the latter one. John Drake kicked across the goal bar twice for extra point. A pass for extra point failed. Duke, Weldon and Watkins furnished the driving punch for Norlina. Duke scored both touchdowns for Norlina. Tries for extra points failed. The Warrenton Kiwanis club entertained members of the football squad at supper last night at which time various members of the club expressed their appreciation of the fighting spirit shown by the team and told them to go to Whitakers day with a determination to win. "The formation of the football team marks a new area in education in Warren county," J. Edward Allen, superintendent of school, said. "Their example will, I believe, be followed by other schools, and will mean a better balanced system of education." E. E. Gillam, president of the Kiwanis club, told the players how glad the organization was to have them as its guests and expressed his appreciation of the work of Manager Bob Bright and Coach Jimmy Mayfield, and for the fine spirit shown by the whole squad in all its games. Both Manager Bright and Coach Mayfield told of how much the backing of the Kiwanians had meant to the team and what a splendid bunch of boys they had with which to work. They express ed their thanks to L. C. Kinsey for his work as referee during the various games in which the team has engaged. "It is not whether you win or lose that counts in an athletic contest, but how you play," Mr. Bright continued, "and I am happy to say that these boys play the cleanest, most sportsmanlike game that I have ever seen. The lessons they learn on the football field will be of great value in. the game of life." Loyd Kinsey said that in his refereeing that he was impressed by the clean play by members of the team, and how much pleasure he derived from his association with the boys. James Poindexter, captain of the team, speaking in behalf of the squad, expressed his appreciation of the Kiwanians' hospitality and for the splendid backing given the team by the organization. Eruce Howell, team mascot, was called on for a speech and responded "I think that's its a fine team.' Announcing that a benefit game wil be played with Spring Hope here next Tuesday afternoon, President Gillam appointed W. N. Boyd, M. C. McGuire and Bill Hunt a com? mittee to ask the merchants to close their stores on the afternoon in order that the town may turn out in full force. Tickets will be placed on sale by the school children today and it is expected that a large crowd will be present to cheer the boys on next Tuesday. Members of the squad present with Coach Jimmy Mayfield and Manager Bob Bright were Pettis Terrell, Clifton Tucker, Edward Grant, John Baird, Frank Ridout, Gill Allen Jones, James Poindexter, Allen Peoples, Thomas Overby, Jack Riggan, Raymond Harris, Jim Frazier Jr., John Drake, Edward Hunter, Wallace Hayes, Edward Hall, Albert Paschall, Woodrow Parker, and bruce Howell, mascot. ri). ? , Sf-e ' "* '( Negro Man Shoots ]\ Father When He Refuses Shelter Because his father refused to feed < him during the winter, George Davis, negro, fired a load of bird shot into the back of his head at close range and as a result is in ?

L. Shipman, chairman of the orphanage publicity committee, said this week J in appealing to citizens to contribute the income from one day's labor to their favorite orphanage as a Thanksgiving offering. "These children do not know their si own sad plight," he said. "They la are mute, indulging in the rosy yi dreams of childhood, thinking all ja will go well, but we knew better ai and will refuse to accept the challenge at the peril of the coming jr generation. Surely the offering will n, be big and generous. sj "Orphanages and other agencies C( are crippled by the falling off of tl contributions due to the industrial b( depression. Especially is this true ci 'of the last few months. Our genera- cl tion has had no such challenge as fi this. The very difficulty of the sit- o] uation ought to call out the great- tl est Thanksgiving offering made in m ten years.
