Split Games With Enfield Warrenton And Weldon In Doubleheader Here Warrenton's Yellow Jackets and Weldon's Tornadoes will clash here tonight in a game that will decide first-place standing in the Halifax-Warren Conference. The Jackets?suffering their only league defeat at the hands of the Tornadoes earlier this season, 41-38?had to struggle to set for the loop headliner as they downed a stubborn En field quint, 44-40, here Tues day night. Tonight's contest will follow a tilt between the girls teams of the two schools, slated to begin at 7 p. m. In other action around the conference tonight Norlina will travel to Davie for a doubleheader. while Littleton will host Au relian Springs. The Jackets, who had little trouble in their first meeting with Enfield?a team that put the skids under Weldon's of-! fensive machine for the first time this season on last Friday night?found Enfield an im proved ball club since their first encounter and had to go through an overtime to chalk up the win. With the score knotted late in the game, 38-all, Warrenton played for one shot, holding the ball for the last two min utes. Gordon Haithcock's jumper from 15 feet failed to go through with three seconds remaining in the regulation contest, and teammate Billy Benson's shot, in the air at! the horn, failed to drop, send-j ing the game, into overtime. Benson and teammate Chocky I White out-traded Enfield's Johnny Viverette in baskets and Warrenton, with a one ^point bulge, began stalling tactics. White was fouled and made good on the first of a one-and-one opportunity. Seconds later Warrenton got the ball and Gordon Haithcock was fouled. Haithcock iced the game with 11 seconds re maining as he made good on both shots. Warrenton started the game with a roar and looked as though it would make a runa way jot the contest as it hit seven of its first 13 shots from i the floor to build up a 15-6 j lead at the first-quarter turn. Enfield began a comeback at that point, and after getting Warrenton center Herman Booker in trouble with four fouls, pulled to within five points at intermission. The second half saw the, Blue Demons still chipping away at the Jacket lead, be-j fore catching up in the final period. I Enfield hit on 16 of 38 shots from the floor for a 42 per cent accuracy" figure, while; Warrenton poured in 17 of 45, attempts for a 38 per cent ( mark.

In the girls game Warrenton Coach Janice Allen flung a surprise at the league-leading gn??M lassies, as Warrenton frose the ball (Tom the outset. The policy paid off in the first quarter as the Lady Jackets and Demonettes fought to ? 8-3 first quarter deadlock. In the second quarter Warren ton could neither hit nor keep the ball away from the hot; ied visitors, who pulled r at halftime, 13-5. xain|l were rougher in the ?eeond half for the hostesses, who could not find the range mil wound up with a 15 per GIBLS GAME leUl <M) Warrenton (10) traine 18 D#vk \ ckTSl Polk ?

Specializing In FOODS Warrenton Rural Fire News By BILL CONNELL NO FIRES to report this: week. | Remember: That which burns, never returns. I As a part of the never-end-| ing attempt to raise money to] keep the trucks rolling, the , NVarrenton Rural Fire Depart ment will conduct a broom sale during the week of March 5-10. These brooms are made by the Guilford Industries For The Blind in Greensboro. Blind | work is usually considered as, a l.ions Club project, but since i the local l.ions gain most of j their revenue from sponsoring the Warren County Fair, they do not participate in broom sales as some other Lions Clubs do. The local Lions Club has given the Warrenton Rural Fire Department the go-ahead to sell these brooms. This sale will not only help the Rural Fire Co.. but through the additional sale of brooms and other items which will be, offered may make possible the, employment of several addi-, t tonal blind workers in the, plant at Greensboro. Items to, be offered will include good i five-string brooms, whisk j brooms and a kitchen pack-, age containing two large dish | towels and two dish cloths. The county has been divided into eight areas with a sale captain in each area. The plan is that sometime during! the week of March 5-10 every | house in the county will be visited and asked to buy one of the three items offered. For those who are missed, there will be a sales booth set | up on Main Street on Fridav, and Saturday of that week, where these items will be plac ed on sale. Your wholehearted cooperation is urgently needed. The Areola Auxiliary As a part of its goal to , give Warren County complete, coverage the Warrenton Rural, Fire Department offered the Areola community a completely equipped fire truck, provided the community would furnish a fire house, form a company of men to man the equipment and help the parent company with its effort to raise money. In 1959 this community met all the requirements and the, Areola Auxiliary of the War-, renton Rural Fire Department, came into being Roy Har mon, who was already of mem ber of the parent company, was selected as chief. Har they matched points with the taller Blue Devils but in thej second period they fell by the. wayside as Davie went out front 27-22 at intermission. Billy Irvin and Buck Dickens were the pacesetters for the Devils with 12 . and 11 points respectively. Lonnie Harris, the Devils' usual big gun, was held to five points by the Jays' defense. The big center went to the sidelines in the latter part of the game with five personal fouls. Littleton was not without Its guns as Charlie Moore and Jimmy Harvey punched 11 points each through the nets. Davie now stands at 5-4 in the conference and 7-6 overall. The Jays are 1-8 in the confer ence and 1-11 in all games. In the preliminery game it, was the Lady Jays in an easy, win, 32-24. | Betty Jean West was the, high point maker in the game with 15. j Dorothy Miles had 12 for the Devillettes. raon served in this capacity until January, 1962, when he moved to Warrenton. No long er living in the community, Harmon was relieved of his duties as chief, being replaced by Elmer Harris as of Febr uary 1, 1962. In addition to Chief Harris, the following men compose the Areola Auxiliary: W. L. Nor wood, W M. Duke, Robert Gupton, George Davis and George Hunter. The equipment is housed in a neat, well-con structed 30' x 30' building ad jacent to the Areola Communi ty Building. In addition to telephone calls, a big farm type bell atop the fire house serves as an alarm. Truck No. 3. which was pur chased from Enfield Fire Co., is the main go at Areola. Two booster hoses, each 150 feet long, one electric reel, along with 150 feet of 1 Ms inch soft | hose compliment No. 3. No.: 3 has a two-way radio and j there is a monitor in the home | of Chief Harris. This monitor | will pick up all messages' passing through the base unit at Warrenton Fire House. For example: a fire on Country Club Road at 2:00 a. m.. where there was more water needed. | Chief Roberts could go to one. of fire trucks on scene, pick, up radio and call Chief Haf- j ris to bring Areola tanker. This would mean a great sav ing of time. There is a 300 GPM front mount pump. A dry chemical and a C02 extinguisher, back packs rakes, pike pole, axe, wire cutters, ladder and two sections of hard hase for filling tank from pond or creek complete the equipment carried on No- 3 = Also at Areola now is old No. 1. which has been turned out to pasture, so to speak. No. 1 is the old school bus with which the Warrenton Ru ral Fire Department started to work at its inception. This tank truck carries a 1000-gallon and serves both Inez and Ar eola when additional water is needed. The Areola Auxiliary has answered 59 calls since late 1959. These would have been 59 pretty long runs for the trucks from Warrenton. Here again you can see the advantages of Auxiliary Com panies throughout the county. Next week we will tell you about the Auxiliary at Inez. - Don't forget the Broom Sale March 5-10.
