Special Events At

Three special events at Emman
uel Episcopal Church were an
nounced today by the rector, The
Rev. Charles V. Coveil.
A motion picture, “Each In His
Own Tongue,” will be shown at
Church School which begins at
10 a. m.
Holy Communion will be cele
brated at the regular 11 a. m.
service and the rector will read

House of Bishops.
\ There will be a vestry meeting

TRIO ARRESTED

store in their car, “casing” the
place and picking an auspicious
moment, when no customers were'
inside. Several people saw the
car. One of these was Lewis Fos
ter, son of the proprietor, who
was outside the store part of the
time though he left before the
men went in. He gave the officers
a good description of the car.’
This information the sheriff
gave to the military police. Mon
day afternoon they found the car
on the reservation, apparently
abandoned. They left to report
their iind and later found the car
had disappeared.
The MP’s forthwith formed
themselves into a dragnet, cover
ing the vast post as best they
could, with eyes and ears alert.
They found the car again—this
time with two of the three men
inside. The confession of these
two implicated the third.
For hard work and effective as
sistance the sheriff especially
commended Sgt. J. J. Kubes, Sgt.
Clarence Gleaton and Cpl. John
Burns, all MP’s attached to the
82nd Airborne Division.
Finding the men was one thing
—getting Foster’s money back an
other. "Very little, it turned out,
was left, and this little is being
held by the Army for the present.
The sheriff said he was informed
the men blew it in on a “big
weekend,” possibly losing a good
bit in gambling.
An SBI agent worked closely
with the sheriff’s department in
investigating the robbery.
Sheriff McDonald said Foster
reported he was sitting down be
hind a counter when the two men
entered the store. Each of the men
had pistols and the Negro also had
a knife in his other hand.
When they were unable to open
the cash register, the men de
manded that Foster open it and
he complied. They took about $600
from the cash register and about
$200 from his pocketbook, Foster
said.
Both of the men were described
as neatly dres^d in civilian
clothes.
After the men had left, Foster
called Sheriff McDonald who in
turn notified the SBI whose agent
immediately joined the sheriff
and Deputy Lambert at Vass to
begin the successful investigation.
BLUE KNIGHTS

straight through the enemy lines,
for the Blue Knights.
Old Town failed on conversion
and Ruggles made Southern
Pines’ kick good for two more
points, for the final score of 44
to 30.
Outweighed an average of 23
pounds per man, the Blue Knights
put up an sll-round good fight in
which no one man starred. David
Page,' captain, equally good on
offense and defense, led the way
for alert, fast and versatile play
on the part of all his men. A fine
team in the tradition of their
school—^which has twice before
held the Eastern Conference
championship, and once gained
the state crown—they could not,
however get around the one big
obstacle: they were up against a
slightly better team.
Coaches Irie Leonard and W.
A. Leonard, while hit hard by the
loss, recognized the power of the

won 18 and lost 2 in regular sea
son play, the ’53-54 Blue Knight
basketball edition showed future
promise.
Bobby Cline and James Hum
phrey were paired up at the
guards, Johnny Watkins and
Tommy Ruggles up front at the
forward spots, and David Page
at center. These are most likely
tC’ get the starting berths against
Red Springs.
Likely also to see action against
Red Springs are Jimmy Town-
shend, Tony Parker, a hustler,
and Don Cheatham, and perhaps
Diggs or Barber.
Coach Leonard, assisted by Don
Moore, has had the B'ue and
White girls working out for the
past 10 days but is still undecided
who will take the floor against
the Red Springs girls. But this
should be no cause for wonder
ment or a tribute to his Scotch
Old Town team and praised the
COUNCIL TO MEET
(Contmuea from Page 1)
The sewer service study was
prepared by a sub-committee,
headed by William C. Darden, of
the Citizens Advisory Committee.
The report states that the 1954
property tax can be reduced by
20 per cent—^from $2.20 to $1.80
per $100 of assessed valuation—
by a sewer service charge
amounting to 50 per cent of each
quarterly water bUL
For 50 per cent of the town’s
water users, this would amount
to no more than $15 per year and
for 85 per cent of the consumers,
to no more than $30, the report
notes.
Blue Knights for their efforts
throughout the 1953 season.
Head Coach Irie Leonard said
after the game: “I don’t think our
boys played a very good game,
but even if they had been at the
top of their game, we probably
would have been beaten. The Old
Town team had tremendous pow
er and outweighed our boys. Our
boys took terrible punishment
and I could teU at the halftime
that we probably could not hold
them the second half.
The first quarter spelled the
doom for us,” the coach said, “be
cause of the 25 points Old 'Town
earned. I thought our boys played
as best they could under the cir
cumstances. I think the team
played far above our expectations
for the season. If we can replace
our graduating linemen, we might
have a good team next year.”
A large delegation of visitors
arrived to root for the Forsyth
County team, whose 350-pupil
high school serves a large subur
ban area of Winston-Salem. "Viva
cious cheerleaders on both sides
added color to the occasion, and
Southern Pines contributed an
impressive half-time show by its
blue-and-gold-uniformed major-,
ettes and blue-and-white-uniform-
ed band.
Lineups:
Old Town—Buddy Daniels,
right end; Richard Dilworth, left
end; Jim Norman, center; Bill
Sheek, wingback; Don Graham,
tailback; Roger Arrington, full
back; Goforth, Myers, Tilley,
Sapp, Cartwright, Hunter.
Southern Pines—^David Page,
left end; Joe Smith, tailback;
Tommy Ruggles, quarterback;
James Humphrey, wingback;
Johnny Watkins, tailback; Billy
Ccx, tailback; Paul Warren, right
end; George Morrison, center;!
Bobby Renegar, Bobby Cline, Bill
Marley, Harold McNeill.
caution. Rather, it is because the
18-gu-l squad is the smallest
group to report for practice in
years, and last year’s graduating
class took five of the regular
Blue and White starters. Dorothy
Newton, veteran forward, and re-
!erves Patty Woodell apd Betty
Jo Britt make up the experience
of the squad.
But make no mistake about it,
there is plenty of scrap and spirit
among the girls trying to win
starting posts on this year’s team.
Fairly certain of the coach’s nod
for two of the forward positions
are Newton and Patty Woodell.
Two transfers, Maxann Kerr from
and Jackie Davenport will get
two of the starting guard berths.
Britt lacks height but more than
makes up this deficiency with
speed. Davenport, a reserve last
year, gives a little height under
the basket but is short on experi
ence. Sally Michelson, transfer
from Central High of Riverside,
Calif., June Bristow, Martina Har
ris, and Tony Martin will see ac
tion for the third guard spot.
Coaches Leonard and Moore are
not pessimistic over the season’s
outlook for the boys. The Blue
Knights probably will not have
as good a Won and Lost record as
last year’s team. You don’t lose as
good shots as Choate and Wood
ruff and come up with a season
average of .900. But the Blue
Knights are going to be exciting
this year. They v/on’t score as
much, but their opponents are not
going to score as much eitner. Qf-
fensively the local high may net
be as high powered as last year-
defensively they will make a
much better showing. They’ll
have to.
The girls will play better than!
500 ball but will not get going I
perhaps until the middle of the
season. They are likely to surprise |
an unsuspecting rival or two.
The girls’ squad list: Maxann I
Kerr, Patsy Dupree, Mary Dell
Matthews, Dorothy Newton, Patty I
WbodeU, Kay Davis, Betty Mor-1
ris, Martina Harris, Margaret
Thomas, Sally Michelson, June
Bristow, Jackie Davenport, Betty'
Jo Britt, Ginger Woodell, Patty.
Hobbs, Tony Martin, Betty
Shelby High, Kay Davis from Weatherspoon and Joan Howarth
Port Washington High, New York,
and Patsy Hobbs are fighting it
out for the third starting call.
Right now it is a toss up, but all
will see action.
Graduation cost the Blue and
White three letter guards and two
letter reserves. And it is wich the
guards that Coach Don Moore has
his work cut out for him.
More than likely Betty Jo Britt
Boys’ squad: Bobby Cline, I
Johnny Watkins, Tommy Ruggles,

lost to Old Town, and femained
for the banquet Saturday night.
In a talk that brought much
praise from those who heai’d it,
Mr. Weaver centered n;s atten
tion on the three “A-B-C” quali
ties of character he said are re
quired on the athletic field' and
in living—ability, brains and cour

He praised the Blue Knights for
playing a fine game, even though
defeated, on Thanksgiving Day,
noting that Southern Pines had
made a touchdown in the last two
minutes of the game.
Invocation was given by the
Rev. C. K. Ligon. John E. Cline
