ning that the game between Wil
liarnston's Green Wave and Plym
outh's Panthers will be played on
Thursday night instead of Friday

leaders on hand to keep things go
ing, Wednesday afternoon about
3:30 or 4:00 o'clock, it was stated.
No detailed report on tag sales
was available but it was said that
they were going well. The togs'
are being sold to build up a fund
lor the purchase of a bus for the
use of school athletie teams and
the band. While the tags are be
ing .sold for SL’.OU each, the admis
Don price is 75c and that is the
value attached to the stub on the
tag This stub will admit the hold
er to tne game upon presentation
at the gate. It does not have to
j be exchanged lor another ticket.
Almost every team or group of j
school representatives coming to
Wilhamston from other towns are
traveling in then own convey
ances and local fans have been of
a mind to do something about it
for some time. Recently they or
ganized a committee and named
D. R. Davis as chairman with K.
P. Lindsley as vice chairman. As
s secretary and treasurer, Principal
B G. Stewart is handling the
tag fund. Tags are available tit
many places in town and head
quarters are at Mr. Davis Drug
Store where tickets may be had
and those handling the sales may
make their reports there or direct
to Principal Stewart.
The game date was moved after ;
i a eoiuerttnce was held in Scotland I
Nevk between Principal Stewart
and Coach Stuart Maynard of
Wilhamston, Principal Fleming
and Coach Joe Foster of Plymouth
and Principal Thomas and Coach
Davis of Weldon Monday after
noon. Plymouth and Williarnston
agreed to move their game up one
day if Weldon would agree to
play on Tuesday instead of insist
ing on playing this week. The
winner of the Williamston-Plvm
outh game will represent the Al
bemarle Conference and Weldon
has already won the crown in the
Roanokc-Chowan conference. The
game Tuesday night will be for
the district title. (
Plymouth will be bringing an >
undefeated team here Thursday
night and their players and fans
have “made no bones" about their ,
confidence in victory. While the 1
Panthers have made a better :
showing against conference op- (
ponents than the Green Wave it is ]
also true that they have not faced ]
as strong opposition in meeting \
non-conference foes. i

Spring that the team which

Children's Book
Week Is Observed
B H M Regional Library Head
quarters.—It was early December
and the State Librarian sat hold
ing a letter she had read for the
third time. Then, as if startled out
of a trance, she jumped to her
feet, grabbed her coat and dashed
I out of the office. Two assistants
i exchanged curious glances and
| sidled over to her-desk. “Gee, she
| took the letter with her," one of
i them remarked. "Must have been
something important to make her
move that fast.” Presently the
librarian was back and spread an
assortment of Christmas wrapping
paper and ribbons on her desk.
Very carefully she wrapped each
of five books in the gay paper and
bound them with bright ribbon.
On the "family story that goes on
and on" she attached a label on
which was written "Grandmoth
er," on a novel, "Mother,” on an
explorer’s account of far away
lands, “Father," on an aviation ad
venture story, "Joe" and on the
ribbon that bound the story of a
kitten the label read “Mary.”
All of this had been closely
watched by the two assistants who
could no longer contain them
selves and asked, "But they’re
books from the lending depart
ment, aren’t they?” The librarian
smiled and handed them the let
ter.
Dear Miss .:
Times have been very hard, the
drought has caused us to lose
most of our crops. There will be
no Christmas for us this year.
However, I have managed to save
21c from my chicken money and
1 am sending this to you to cover
postage on some books which I
would like to borrow from the li
brary. One for each of us.
There are five in the family— |
Joe is 12, Mary is 10. Their moth
er, my daughter, likes love stories,
their father is interested in travel
ing, and I like just any good fam
ily story that goes on and on. I
thought that if you could send us
each a book, we could spend
Christmas day reading. It would
be a big -surprise arid we would
love it. Merry Christmas!”
A love of books and reading is
the birthright of every child,
rhere has never been a time when*
it was more important to have ac
quired the reading habit and to
lave developed a real love of
books than in this highly complex,
iltra-practical, busy, dizzy ma
chine age of today.
If the love of books and reading
is properly instilled in the child
rrom babyhood, it will, in most
-ascs, carry through life. It will
make possible a richer and fuller
life and will constantly prove a
jreat blessing as is shown in the
above story.
This is Book Week — Child
ren's Book Week, founded on a
:ommon interest in children's
looks. Reading habits of boys and
iirls is a matter of year round im
Jortance. But in this one special
,vcck, adults reaffirm their in
erest in more and better books,
nore in the home, more in the li
>rary.
The way to the books boys and
(iris enjoy, is not straight and nar
■ow. Every boy and girl, every
•hild and every youth is different.
Books are just as varied, and hap- j
lily, the right books are available
or the right boys and girls,
rhrough the local libraries and
•ounty bookmobile, books are
available to all people in the re
notest areas of this region.
Nor is it hard to find these l ight
looks. It has been proven many
imes that when fine, live books
are plentifully available in the
lome, in the school and library,
joys and girls find their way to
he right things.
Book Week arrives just when
all the new and lovely books are I
•eady and when winter reading'
ime is just ahead. It is the time '
o talk about books and reading, '
o put the cause of children’s |
•eading squarely before the whole !
immunity, and community by j
immunity, across the whole
ration. For a great nation is a
'eading nation, and in this broad
:ountry books should be freely
available for every boy and girl.
This is Book Week.

Social Security
For Farm Worker
The expanded social security
legislation covers hired farm and
domestic workers (cooks or house
hold workers on the farm) who
are employed regularly. A work
er is considered regular if (1) he
continues to do farm work for
at least 60 days for the same em
ployer in the succeeding calendar
quarter and receives $50 or more
cash wages for his work. He also
is a regular worker for this same
employer in the preceding cal
endar quarter.
The first quarter begins Jan
uary 1. A worker who has worked
all of the fourth quarter of 1950
can be covered for social security
beginning January 1, 1951. There
after, a worker must work 60 days
an/i earn at least $50 in cash in
every three-month period to get
continuous social security credit.
Farm workers should make sure
they, have a social security card.
This may be obtained from the
nearest social security office or
through the local post office. The
card should be shown to the farm
operator by whom the worker is
regularly employed.
The operator must have the
exact name and number shown on
the card to report the worker’s
wages every three rqonths. The
operator will deduct the social
security tax from the worker’s
wages and add an equal amount
as h*s own payment.
The tag through 1951 is 3 per
cent—one-half deducted by the
farm uperator from the worker’s
wages and the other half contrib
uted by the operator. The opera
tor will send this money to the
government.

Plots $300Million
Swindle oi U. S.
The most fantastic man ever to
i grace the American scene, James
' Addison Reavis, who stole an em*
I pire in the west along with num
| erous feminine heart, is the basis
for one of the most exciting films
| ever to be ground out in Holly
wood's cinema factories.
Titled ‘The Baron of Arizona,”
but not a western as the title
1 makes you think, audiences at the
iViccar Theatre, Wednesday, like
this reviewer, will be greatly im
pressed by the film, especially
[ when it is realized that the events
depicted are pretty close to the
I facts as they happened in Ari
i zona just before the turn of the
1 century.
As Reavis, who sets himself up
as the ‘Baron” of the 113,000
square mile territory, Vincent
Price turns in his most terrific
performance since the old days
' some ten years ago when he play
; ed opposite Helen Hayes in ‘‘Vic
toria Regina.”
