Among the projects responsible for Inez winning the con_ test were the organizing of a tfr rural fire department in the community and the encouragement given by the Inez Community Club to the building of a Methodist parsonage in the community. The club organized a rural fire department that is now in full operation. This was buill by people contributing theii labor in the community and $1592.10 raised from contribu tions and money raising activi ties such as suppers and sell' ing candy. In its work for the parsonage, the club conducted a sup per and harvest sale, netting S1015.00 to be applied to the building of the parsonage. The club has also made improvements in the community club house. Among these were re-wiring the entire building making outlets for refrigeratoi and electric stove; buying s 60-cup "electric ^percolator painting kitchen; adding curtains to windows, adding furn nuir aiiu laiu^w, i c)iiav.uj(i front wooden steps with con Crete steps; buying gas range refrigerator and table; buying rug for kitchen floor; installing sink and running water; add ing a street light All laboi was contributed free by the members and the only cost foi Improvements was for mater r Town Boai I On Fortifr Discussion of and passage o a clarifying amendment to the B town's budget ordinance wai the principal item of businesi H before the board of town com missioners in an hour and t half session on Monday night B Under Chapter 18 of th< B fieneral Statues of North Caro lina there is a provision for i B^Ievy of a municipal privilege E tbx of $10.00 on dealers is H sweet wines for off-premise!

G. Student For Goal Poa Following apologies from the student bodies of both schools, Norllna and Warrenton have agreed that each school would repair its own football post torn down following a game here on October 30 in which Norlina walloped John Graham by the score of 59 to 6. Immediately following the game, the goal post at the east side of the John Graham field were torn down. Blaming alumni for the action, the students of the Norlina school published an apology - for this action in last week's edition of The Warren Record. In that apology, the students offered to pay for repairing Warrenton'sj goal. Sometime after the game here, students from the John Graham High school went to Norlina and tore down both goal posts on the Norlina field. J. A. Hockaday, principal of John Graham High School, said yesterday that John Graham students involved had confessed and apologized for their action. Their punishment, he said, was to pay the cost of repairing the John Graham goal post. On last Friday, Tommy Miles, CO captain 01 UK looioau iram and president of the John Graham student body, went to Norlina and apologized for his school's behavior. He said that his reception by the Norlina student body waa most cordial. Equipment Given To Local School Fifty dollars worth of equipment for the principal's office ind typing room was donated ly the John Graham Chapter rf .the Future Teachers of < America at a recent meeting \ >f the club, it was learned , from the school yesterday.

Vac- :ines are being studied and xperiments conducted on the ;ffect of the anti-tuberculosis ' trugs on the life habits of the I TB germ. "TB imposes costs on every 1 axpayer and particularly I leavy burdens on several hunIred thousand families each year The. Nation's TB bill now is S725 million annuallv f [or hospitalization, compensa- > lion, case find and other c items. It has increased more h than $100 million since 1952. c "Many's struggle against dis- p ease never can be relaxed, fc Complacency leads only to disaster. Most dangerous is neg- a leet of infectious diseases like rB, because uncontrolled they perpetuate or increase themselves. Thus, in tuberculosis aur dramatic reduction of cases and deaths is not enough ?more than ever we must dedicate ourselves to its eradication. "Your tuberculosis association depends entirely on funds from the sale of Christmas Seals. Yfe urge you to buy as many as you can." Warlick urges citizens to give greater meaning to all their holiday mail, by placing Christmas Seals on every letter and package, and by buying Christmas Seals to help in the campaign against TB until the number one public health enemy has been finally eradicated. s Apologize t Incident In an open letter to The 1 Record this week. Miles tells t of the incident and of his " school's concern: i "The students of John J Graham School have been deeply concerned about the * "goal posts incidents" which occurred on October 20, 1858. I feel that both schools have suffered for the actions of a few people, but I have been impressed with the way students of both schools have expressed regrets for these things. It has become evident that the schools have been drawn closer together and this can offset much of the damage. "As president of the John Graham student body, I went to Norhna on Friday, November 6, and spoke to their student assembly. I was received very well by the Norlina students. I expressed regrets for the principal of John Graham, for the students of John Graham and for the boys in volved in the tearing down of the goal posts. "I sincerely hope we have made progress in building better understanding between NorHna and John Graham schools and trust that acts such as these will not occur again.
