Sophomore forward Billy Benson showed Warrcnton's seniors how to play ball dur ing the first two quarters here Tuesday night before Preacher Parker's senior-dominated quin tet caught fire and buried Wil liam R. Davie, 60-41. Benson, a 5-11 marksman who carried a 7,4 average into the loop battle, shoved in 13 points in the first half to keep Warrenton in a nip-and tuck battle with the' visitors, who led at the first quarter turn, 13-11. Ahead by only a 28-25 count at halftime, Warrenton found the range early in the secord half and tore away from the visitors, ending up with a 53 per cent average from the floor for the night. Davie made the going rough for the favored Jackets early in the contest as forward Buck Dickens poured through 11 points in the first two quar ters. The Jackets, employing a tight zone defense, took con trol as the Davie five cooled off following intermission and Dickens and Benson wound up with, 17 points each to share scoring laurels. Warrenton center Herman Rooker dropped in 12 and guard Chocky White chipped in 11 as the Jackets raced to their ninth victory in 11 starts. The win gave the locals a con ference mark of 6-1 and put them on the heels of Weldon, Halifax-Warren leaders pres ently boasting an 8-0 loop record. In the girls contest, Warren ton fans, had little to cheer about as the visiting Davie sex tet ran up a quick 9-1 score and stayed in command the rest of the way to hand Coach Janice Allen's charges their seventh loss of the year. Forward Knox Polk should ered the scoring burden for Warrenton, finishing the game with 26 points. Sandra Jones added ten for the locals, who Norlina, Weldon JV's Split Games In Norlina Play Junior varsity teams from Norlina and Weldon swapped victories during a basketball twinbill played at Norlina on Tuesday night.

Wimbrow collected 11 and Hege netted 12 during the opening contest. Hunt's ten point effort was tops for the visitors. In the nightcap, Jack Joy ner"s quintet proved too much for the Norlina quintet, who ft|l to the tune of 41-32. John Mayfield had 15 points daring the contest, good for settling honors for the night, but Weldon countered with a balanced scoring attack led by Biggs' ten points. Norlina Midgets ~ Suffer First Loss Noilina's midget cagers dropped their first game of the season on Saturday as Ox ford's midget club invaded the Norlina court and walked off with a 4846 win.

Tiny Oaks led all scorers as stared through 24 points he winners, while Brsnt nd William Ellis, with ten 12 glshii. respectively, the only Norlina players figure*. gave the Norlina a record of S-l for , trailed at halftime by a 34-16 count. I The Lady Jackets, going without the services of starting guard Nancy Wilson, cut the gap ir. the third quarter and got within nine points of the | visitors, but Dorothy Balmer, who captured point-production honors with a 31-point effort, pulled Davie ahead and ruined! Warrenton's bid for its third league triumph. 1 In the girls contest Warren ton made eight of 18 from the charity stripe for a 44 per cent accuracy mark, while the visi tors dropped in 12 of 24 for an even 50 per cent figure.

It Is A Rare Proverb That Has No Duplicate, National Geographic Says WASHINGTON?In England i: oo many cooks spoil the broth, s n Russia a child with seven, I lurses loses an eye. In China (i oo many bricklayers build a r opsided house. i - Many other strikingly siml-jc ar proverbs crop up in widely r :eparated parts of the world, t Jie National Geographic So- i :iety says. The Japanese say i 'A woman's hair is strong j enough to keep an elephant i tied." An English proverb,' claims: "One hair of a woman | draws more than a team of j oxen." |, These tributes to the tenaci- j ty of women and similar dup-jt licates apparently developed in- j dependently in different areas (j as man drew upon common | observations, experiences, and j Droblems Women Are Popular Thousands of proverbs have' been coined about women. A1, group of West African says has a familiar ring: "If you want peace, give ear to your wives' proposals . . Who marries a beautiful woman marries torment . . . Women' axe up ineir raarnei oasKt'is nd also take up gossip." Chivalry dies in the old English couplet: "A spaniel, a' voman, and a walnut tree?the nore they're beaten the better' hey be." Russians put it more | <ently: "Love your wife like rour soul but shake her like' i pear tree." A popular international :hemc warns against excessive' talk. The Chinese hold that a ?rcat talker never wants for enemies; talk does not cook1 rice; and mischief all comes if much opening of the moutli. The English caution that "a spoken word cannot be re called." Russian and Japanese proverbs express the same Idea metaphorically. Russian version: "A word isn't a tod; if it flies out, youTI never catch it again." Japanese: "A word once uttered it beyond the reach of four galloping Poverty is another familiar theme, and a thread of cynic itn runs through many of the ayings on this subject. West African: "Being poor makes t hard to have friends but ot impossible." English: When poverty comes in at the oor, love flies out at the win low." Italian: "It is more easy 0 raise poverty than to bear t." But being poor has its com lensations, according to an Dnglish maxim that maintains: Little goods, little care." Sometimes two proverbs ex iress the same idea in vastly lifferent ways. A macabre Jap inese saying goes, "If you have aken poison, lick even the date." In contrast the Eng ish maintain, "In for a pen ty, in for a pound." Cowards Tove Sound Bones In some British colonies, na ive proverbs are colorful adaptation of old English says. Tamaicans say, "Puss may look pon king but him radder not." in British Honduras, "Coward man keep soun' bone" is the Creole way of declaring that discretion is the better part of valor. Anthropologists believe pro verbs were man's first great attempt at abstract thinking. They place proverbs between magical thinking and deduc tive reasoning in the develop ment of human intelligence When a civilization reaches th< proverb stage, it has the be ginnings of philosophy, ethics and law. Their. importance ? primitive societies is summe< up by a West Afrcan saying "Talking a palver without pro verbs is like going on a Jour ney without rice In your bag.' Though useful, proverbs ol ten are contradictory as li 1 "Look before you leap" an i "He who hesitates is lost. I The proverbial solution to thl stalemate is "Circumstance ! alter caaea." But a rebutta might be "Wise men mak proverbs, and fools repei Each American la now ea ing about twice aa much pou try as 28 years ago. United States Army Sprucfes Up Postwar GI Dress WASHINGTON ? Sad sacks of World War II would hardly recognize the Beau Brummels being turned out today by their old supply sergeants. | Back in wartime, the sol dier drew 66 items, from cot-| I ton skivvies to steel helmet, I which cost Uncle Sam about ? $105, the National Geographic Society says. Apparel came in | I two colors: olive drab and sun-j tan. It was a barracks Jokej that GI clothes also came in' two sizes: two big and too small , The present-day enlisted man , receives 65 items of personal I clothing worth some $150, not | including special equipment like helmets. The Army Quar termaster provides him with a handsome service uniform of army green and a short-sleev ed tan shirt for summer. Casuals and Formals Accessories? shoes, socks, belt, tie?are now black, not tan or brown. If so inclined, the GI may buy knee length, Bermuda-style shorts and socks for informal wear on the post, and fancy dress blues or whites for for mal occasions?all with the supply sergeant's blessing. Soldiers' uniforms are dres sier than at any time since the first World War. But changes have not been made in sartor-j ial whimsey. The hard-rock' reason is to enhance pride in uniform, thus morale. The New I.ook came about this way. After World War II, millions of veterans found their olds uuntans, olive-drab woolens, and fatigue clothes j perfect for puttering about in. Worse still, civilians began flocking to army surplus stores to replenish their wardrobes with the same durable, inex pensive apparel for work clothes. Obviously, neither the career soldier nor recruit could take imperishable pride in a uniform adapted so cas ually to menial purposes. The Army felt it was high time to spruce up GI haber dashery, never a matter of fin icky concern in combat. Olive drab, which had been selected chiefly as a good color for camouflage, was not becoming to most men. The short-waist ed Eisenhower jacket had served well in wartime as part of the field uniform, but was n't appropriate for Sunday best, off-duty wear. So began reform, a pains taking process. At one time, the Army Uniform Board was experimenting with 31 differ ent colors, including three shades of gray, five of blue, 16 of green, one of taupe, one of pink and green. New Style Passed Test A conservative grayish shade called army-green was finally' chosen, and the new GI uni form was designed by one of the country's most distinguish ed clothiers. Troops of the Third Infantry Regiment, sta tioned in the Washington area, were put into the uniform as a test. Next, GI's all over the world were given a chance to | try it. Their verdict: A win ner. Army-green also has displac ed the officer's familiar green j coat and pink trousers. I Uniforms undfrgo a contin I uous process of evolution to | meet new circumstances. For i instance, as an economy meas ure the Defense Department recently standardized certain basic clothing, including cot ton khakis, for all soldiers.

WARRENTON ? sailor*, airmen, and marines. Badges and other insignia identify the men'* respective branches of service. Curiously, distinctive dress for men under arms is a fair ly recent concept?despite the ages-old institution of organis ed warfare. The household troops of France's King Louis XIV (1638-17-15) are believed to have worn the first truly mil itary uniform, designed to mark them as a unit. It was a' single-breasted frock coat with turned-up cuffs. Not surprisingly, two of the oldest military uniforms still worn are now wildly ifpracti cal. One is the gaudy yellow, red. and blue of the Vatican's Swiss Guards. The other is the scarlet-and-red Tudor garb that sets off the Yeoman Warders in the grim, gray Tower of London. Colonial America borrowed its soldier styles from Eng-. iand, and they looked perfect ly splendid on paper. In truth, provincial miltia mostly wore the simple garb of woods men and farmers; the Revolu tionary soldier wore anything he could get his hands on. It has been said that the official uniform at Valley Forge was rags. Distinguishing Marks Needed George Washington's first or der concerning uniforms was rather pathetic: "As the Con tinental Army has unfortunate ly no uniforms, and conse quently many inconveniences must arise from not being able to distinguish the commission-1 ed officers from the privates, | it is desired that some badges of distinction be immediately! provided." He suggested cockades. Significant innovations punc tuate the subsequent history of the -United States uniform. Soldiers first wore campaign dress in the Mexican War?a costume reflected in today's garb of West Point cadets. Fatigue jackets were provided in 1857. The Army first is sued tropical clothing?white pants and straw hats?in 1879. Troops in the Mexican War were introduced to khaki, a color contrived by India-based British who dipped their cam paign whites in muddy water to make themselves less con spicious as targets. The appeal and importance of the military uniform were aptly summed up by Britian's legendary desert fighter, T. E. Lawrence. He said its secret is to give a group of soldiers "the singleness and tautncss of an upstanding man." COURT (Continued from page 1) months road sentence on each count, but both sentences were suspended for two years. Con ditions of the suspension for the possession case were that the defendant pay the court costs and violate no prohibi tion laws of the state for two years.
