Games; Jacket Boys Victorious By JVNIE DRAKE John Graham'a High School Basket eers opened the 1962 home game schedule Dec. 2G by dividing with Littleton'! girls and boys in the local gym. Coach Janice Allen': Jackettes went down to de feat for the second time this season at the hands of Coacl Tommy Satterfield's Littleton lassies. Inexperienced players com mitted numerous fouls and both teams were guilty ol ball handling errors in the loosely played game. Doro thy Hilliard topped the scor ing for the winners and Knoj Polk led the losers, Sandra Jones was used as a rover in the new rule set-up for girls games and played an aggres sive floor game. Janet Weav er showed promise on o**'"ns? for Warrenton. Coach "Preacher" Parkei was rightfully disturbed ai his varsity boys searched in vain for eight minutes for a field goal in their second en counter this season with Coach Satterfield's I.ittleton team. Littleton faired little better as the first quarter ended with the ball having been put through the nets only onc? for a field goal and one foul shot. The Yel low Jackets managed one foul shot and were behind 3-1. The lid was finally pried off as the score at half showed Warrenton lead ing 12-7. Coach Parker's team came back to show some of the | potential expected of them in I the second half to move to j ' a 43-26 victory. John Colema'n, a promising | sophomore, started hitting on j outside shots as A1 Blalock, i a junior, worked under the basket for lay-ups. Phil i Quails became more aggres sive and stole the ball to set up a number of fast breaks which should have run up a larger score but erratic ball handling by the inexperienc ed Yellow Jackets cost them several scoring opportunities. Silly Rogers and Roddy j I. ike rebounded more ef- J fectively in the second half as Warrenton controlled both I boards. Coach Parker came up with two promising re- j serves in 6-4 Ray Shearin and forward Robert Wells. Parker had counted heav-1 ily on the experience and I proven ability of Billy Ben-j son to lead his hardwood charges this season, but a football Injury and knee op eration has Benson in the stands. There Is a possibil | ity of his getting bade on the court during the season and his presence on the squad would add the necessary scor I ing punch Coach Parker | needs badly. Charles Moore led Little ton's scoring as Keith Ross and Bill Smiley looked best on defense. ieledeTlslfi. lop Truck Driver | A Warren County native hai been (elected 1901 Vir ginia Trade Driver of the Year.

Jimmy Webb, John Graham assistant coach has been working with the alumni and will direct the team as they go against Coach "Preacher" Parker's Varsity. Webb has all of the boys who made John Graham history last sea son as they swept to the conference, regional and fin als of the Eastern Class A Championship, with the ex ception of guard Chocky GRISSOM (Continued from page 1) that he feels that much of the example cited in the Kat zensteins' letter was due to poor maintenance practice and not the lagoon system. "We have taken the recom mendations of our consulting engineer, the field consultant for the N. C. League of Mu nicipalities, the State Health Department and the State Stream Sanitary Commission," Grissom said. "We feel that these agencies would not ap prove anything detrimental to the health and welfare of the community." Mayor Grissom said that soil samples have been tested hy C. Page Fisher, Consultant Engineer for Soil Mechanics, Earthworks, and Foundation Designs, and he reported that no appreciable seepage will take place when constructed as designed by the engineer. "The town officals live at Norlina and certainly they would advocate nothing that would damage the town and decrease the value of their property," the mayor com mented. Granted that a sewage dis posal plant operated by a competent and high priced engineer would be better than a lagoon system, tl. cost of such a project is greater than the taxpayers of the town can reasonably bear, Grissom said. "We have a high water rate now and our tax rate will be $1.75 if the bond issue is passed," he It narrows down, in reality, Grissom said, to the lagoon ."Vtem, or no sewage system. And it could mean a return to privies, as the State Health Department has warned No* Iina against its present sap tie tank system. A delay in passing the issue could easily. the loss of the 80% cost of construction being paid by the government under its ae works program (or anas, as this is only a tempore the mayor said. Mayor Grissom said In stating that the Town at Norlina has fj to obtain a I i White who has to return to ' Carolina to resume freshman basketball practice, and Billy Benson who is still in school here. Herman and Thurman ' Rooker, Johnny Link, Bobby Edmonds, Billy Mitchiner, Clinton Neal, Gordon Haith cock and Tommy Holt will be on hand as Referees Leonard Daniel and A1 Mustian sound the opening whistle. A large crowd is expected to witness what should be a real test for Coach Parker's inexperienced varsity. Practice will resume in the high school gym at 10 a. m. Monday for the Varsity and at noon for the Alumni. An admission of 25c has been set for the game. retary of Labor, Washington, D. C., and Congressman L H. Fountain informing them of depressed conditions existing in our area and asked that our area be reclassified and be given a higher grant. This has not been done at this time." He said that the Katzen stein brothers were also in error in stating that lack of publicity had been given to the entire sewer project. He said the proposed sewer sys tem was explained to the Norlina Ruritan Club at a regular meeting on Novem ber 13, 1962. The system was explained to the Nor lina Volunteer Fire Depart ment on November 20, 1962. At these meetings, Grissom said, all information was pre sented, including collection lines, ountfall lines, pumping station and lagoon location. The proposed tax rate and water rate to retire bonds was also explained as well as federal participation in fi nancing the project. A ques tion and answer period was held after presentation. A meeting was held at the Mayor's Office on December 12, 1962, with citizens pres ent from the area east side of town that will not be serv ed at this time, Mayor Gris som aaid. All phases of the system was explained at this time, specificially why this area was not included. A pumn station would have to be added for this section and only a few families would benefit. The additional cost would be so great that the tax and water rates would have to be so high that the project would likely be de feated, it was explained. Mayor Grisaom said that a public meeting will be held at the Norlina High School Gym on January 3, 1963, at 8 o'clock. Representatives from the State Health De partment, State Stream Sani tation Department, the N. C. League of Municipalities, the consulting engineer and the IjMpp sanitatarian wfflf present to inform the dtixens of the need of a financing the project. A question and an swer period will follow the WE NEED MORE ROOM . .
