Jimmy Hawkins sank a paii
of free throws with nine sec
onds remaining to give under
dog Townsville a contc-from
behind 43-42 victory over War
renton in a non-conference
game Tuesday night.
Hawkins charity tosses came
three seconds after Townsville
got ball possession on an out
of-bounds play. Hawkins tried
a jumper from 15 feet out, but
the officials ruled he was foul
ed on the play and he made
good on both of his attempts
at the line.
Warrenton had a slim
chance to win the game with
ball possession and five sec
onds remaining on the clock,
but time ran out as forward
Clinton Neal carried the ball
into the forecourt. The win
pushed Townsville's over-all
mark to 10-15.
Warrenton started fast and
looked as if it were on its
way to victory No. 13 of the
season before they hit a cold
streak following intermission
that produced only one foul
shot for an eight minute per
iod.
Center Herman Rooker furn
ished the Jackets' only point
during the disastrous third per
iod as the home-standing
Eagles pulled from behind a
ten-point deficit into a one
point advantage entering the
final frame.
The Jackets had a bad night
from the foul line, where they
sank only six of 17 attempt}
for a 35 per cent accuracy
figure. Townsville posted a
50 per cent mark, dropping 11
of 22.
Guard Chocky White flipped
in 13 points to top the visi
tors point-wise, while Ricky
Norwood took game honors
with 14 of Townsville's mark
ers.
In the opening game a hust
ling Warrenton quintet pushed
Townsville's Vance County
champs to the wire before
bowing by a 28-26 count.
Warrenton fell behind by a
12-8 count in the first half and
it was midway the third period
before Knox Polk, who had 17
points for the contest, put new
life into the visitors.
Warrenton got within range
before Townsville's Linda
Reese dropped a two-pointer
with 12 seconds remaining.
Warrenton drove for a shot,
but Brenda Davis was tied up
with six seconds remainingand
after the ensuing jump the
dock ran out before eithei
clnb could get possession.
Byna Adams finished with
IT points as the Lady Eagles
took their 20th win of the sea
son against only five losses.

Warrenton Rural Fire News
By BILL CONNELL
Only two fires were reported
to the WRFD this week. A
minor blaze in a broom sege
field on the Limer Town Road,
off 401, at Mr. Burwell's farm
was called to the attention of
the Fire Company on Wednes
day afternoon, February 14.
The Woods truck, No. 7, was
dispatched to the scene, follow
ed up by No. 2, because of
some concern over a house
nearby.
On arriving at the scene, the
firemen found that the blaze
bad been extinguished and also
that the field had been plowed
around to prevent its spread.
The Warrenton Rural Fire
Department is ready to answer
any and all calls, but such
calls as this, which obviously
was controlled burning, are so
unnecessary. This call required
four men, two trucks and
about 45 minues.
A packhouse on the Peetc
place in the Ridgeway com
munity was destroyed by fire
on Thursday afternoon, Febr
uary 15. The Warrenton Rural
Fire Department dispatched
two trucks to the scene to find
the fire under control by the
Norlina Fire Company. Six
men answered this call.

I-ast week, for the first time
m two months, soil ? conditions
were right for h-evy equip
ment to work. Three ponds
were under construction during
he week: one on Ben I.ynch's
Farm near Oine. one for C. M.
Haithcock at Churchill, and one
For G. A. Daeke at Ridgeway.
Farmers have received approv
il for cost sharing on 21 ponds
hrough the Agricultural Con
servation Program. Most of
:hesre ponds will be construct
ed in time to catch water to
irrigate tobacco in 1962.
Plans are being made for
land smoothing operations on
several farms in Warren Coun
ty. In this operation obstruc
tions and bench terraces arc
removed, waterways shaped,
eroded land top soiled, parallel
terraces constructed, and the
field is ready for tractor farm
ing. Interested farmers will be
invited to observe this work in
process.
During the next two months
fires will do a lot of damage
on Warren County farms. It Is
best not to burn fields as thos
residue improves the land wher
returned to it. Where fields
are burned over the soil gets
"tight" or runs together. Its
fertility and water holding ca
pacity is impaired, it is more
subject to erosion, and crops
grown on it make lower yields
