Ten Lettermen Are
In the Line-up For

Limited Reserve Offering Big
Problem As Wave Starts
New Season
?
Williamston High's Green Wave
will open its 1941 football season
here Friday night, September 26th.
at eight o'clock. The Wave will tan
gle with a powerful Hertford eleven
here that night under the arcs.
According to pre-season prospects
Williamston will turn out one of its
best teams in a number of years, with
the line play expected to be smooth
er, and the light backs should cause
opponents a great deal of trouble.
We will have ten lettermen back
to form the nucleus of what looks
to be a fast but light squad," said
Coach Sam Edwards, in commenting
on his proteges. "My main trouble
will be in finding capable replace
ments."
Of the veterans returning Jack
Sullivan is slated to take over the
leading role in the backfield, with
Garland Wynne. J. D. Woolard, Jim
Critcher and George "Jubilee" Cun
ningham all expected to turn in de
pendable and steady performances.
All of these youths saw action last
season and played inspired ball at
times.
In the line Conrad Getsinger will
return at one of the end posts. Get
singer snatched numerous passes for
neat gains during the '40 season and
with experience he seems destined
to be even better this year Reg Grif
fin and J. B. Taylor will return as
guards, a pair <>f tough heftiea who
fight hard all the time; while Billie
and Howell Peele will again play the
tackle positions.
The local gridders will display
flashy new uniforms in their open
ing affray Wearing sjlyer pants
trimmed in green with green and
white jersey and black enameled
helmets, the Green Wave will pre
sent not only a formidable array but
a well-dress squad which the fans
of this town should be proud of.
These uniforms were not given to
the team and in order to pay for them
season tickets will be sold for all
home games, which include three
night affairs and one afternoon tilt.
The price of these season tickets is
very small and everyone is urged to
purchase one right away, attend ev
ery home game and help rebuild the
interest and support which football
enjayed here in past years. The
tickets will go on sale today.
In announcing the home schedule,
Coach Edwards stated that the three
night games to be played here will
be as follows: Hertford, Sept. 26;
Columbia. October 10 and Windsor,
October 17 The annual battle with
Scotland Neck High will be played (

Registrants Have
Right To Appeal
Any Selective Service registrant
who was originally deferred from
military training and subsequently
reclassified by his local board lias
the same right to appeal as when
he was classified originally. Gener
al J. Van B. Metts, State Director of
Selective Service, announced recent
ly
"Local boards should bear in mind
that when classifications of regis
trants who were deferred because
they were contributing in their ci
vilian occupations to the national
health,- safety and interest-?in indus
trial, agricultural, or professional ac
tivities?are reconsidered they must
again be given notice of classification
and accorded the same right "to ap
peal before induction as when they
were classified originally," the draft
iirector said.
While any registrant who" is re
classified may appeal within 10 days
after his notice of classification is
mailed. Director Metts said, he urged
that those ?who have received occu
pational deferments, or their em
ployers to formally request his local
board for an extension well in ad
vance of the expiration date if it is
felt that an extension is justified.

Battle To Tie Here
Game Gulled at End of the

Knotted 1-1
The Martin All-Stars, facing un
usually strong opposition, played the
Elizabeth City Rebels to a one-all tie
during an eleven-inning contest here
last Tuesday evening. The game set
tled down to a pitching contest with
Ken Rymer, first string twirier in
the Coastal loop ltst season, repre
senting the All-Stars, and with Saw

for the visitors.
No scoring was done until the
eighth when the visitors pushed over
a tone score. The All-Stars knotted
the count in the ninth, and both
teams agreed to call it a day at the
end of the eleventh when a hopeless
deadlock was apparent.

Rehabilitation Of

Approval of plans to facilitate the
rehabilitation of Selective Service
registrants who fail to qualify for
military service because of remed-J
table physical defects was recently
announced by National Selective
headquarters. Arrangements for co
operating hy giving data concerning
such registrants to authorized agen
cies have been under study at na
tional headquarters for several
months and now are virtually com
pleted, it was stated
The pingram, .iiiniiunLi'd by the
Office of the Coordinator of Health,
Welfare, and belated Defense Ac-i
tivitics, was initiated following find
ings of a high rate of rejections of
registrants for remediable physical
defects. Conferences with other gov
ernment agencies and representa
tives of the medical profession look
ing to the formulation of a rehabili
tation program were inaugurated
early this year by the National Head
quarters, Selective Service System.
Brig Gen Lewis B. Hershey, di
rcctor of Selective Service, brought
its need sharply to attention last May
in an address to.the National Nutri
tion Conference for Defense, when
he termed the physical status of Am
erican youth as revealed by Selective
Service tests to be "shameful". He
prdicted that the general public
would tire of having men ecape mil-1
itary service because of some minor
disability that could be removed by
proper treatment.
Commenting today on the an
nouncement by Federal Security
Administrator Paul V, McNutt that
government financing will be sought
for the proposed rehabilitation pro
gram, General Hershey said:
"National Headquarters has con
sistently advocated that efforts be
made to rehabilitate registrants who
have remediable physical defects. Al
though more than a third of the men
examined are rejected as unfit for
general military service, a substan
tial percentage of them have imper
fections which can be corrected.
"If proper measures are taken, ev
ery registrant who has remediable
defects will be given opportunity for
treatment so that he can qualify for
military training at a time when his
nation and his heighbnrs need his
service.
Selective Service will cooperate
^ with those agencies primarily re
sponsiblu fui the rehabilitation piu
gram by giving them the names and
other essential information concern
ln* rejected- regislrafiti who have
remediable defects. Plans to make
the information available to author
ized agencies will be completed with
in a few days."

perience counted for 15 runs. There

the outcome of the game.

third and stole home. Diem and ;
Beaird led the attack with the stick,
making three hits each. Terry and
Johnson led the losers at bat with
