Scotland Neck at Williamston.
Snow Hill at Robersonville.
So. Edgecombe at Jamesville, 1.
Plymouth at Tarboro.
Ahoskie at Edenton.
Columbia at Hertford.
School team which has a reputa
tion for being tough at home but
slightly less aggressive away from
its supporters.
Scotland Neck is not believed
to be quite as strong this year as
last when they defeated Williams
ton 19-6 at Scotland Neck but the
Scotties do have a few good boys
back in the line although with
Haynes and Locke gone they are
less powerful in the backfield. Of
their record this year not too
much is known here. Plymouth
defeated them earlier in the sea
son and they recently lost to Lit
tleton. They are planning on go
ing into the Roanoke Chowan
conference next season.
Williamston has a number of
boys it cannot count on for this
game and possibly for the rest of
the season. Among these are Bill
Lassiter, Bobby Ray Mobley, Bill
Glover on the more seriously in
jured side with others recovering
from less serious injuries. Ward
Perry appears certain to do the
punting for the Green Wave in
the absence of Bobby Mobley al
though David Davis will continue
kicking off and Ralph Parker will
try for the extra points. Mobley
may , get in for a spot play now
and then but it was not regarded
as too likely although he will be
in uniform and serve as co-cap
tain of the team. Dickie Clayton
and Foggy Gurkin are moving in
to take up the slack in the back
field caused by the injury of Mob
ley, Lassiter and Glover. Ralph
Parker also is likely to see action
at fullback where he ran rather
well at Plymouth in the late min
utes of the game. Quarterbacking
Williamston will be Jacob Zemon
and James Perry although Perry
has a cut on his face from last
week. Defensively David Davis
at center, Larry Chesson and
Ward Perry at guards, and
George Harris and Jimmie Carra
way at tackles are expected to
carry the burden in the line with
Gerald Griffin, newly moved to
end showing a lot of promise. It
is expected that Turner Manning
will rejoin John Dunn and Tom
my Harris in action at the end
spots after being out with a foot
injury.
After making none too good a
showing against Plymouth last
Friday, the boys are hoping to get
back into the victory column this
week but realize it is not going to
be done with a “tag" defense.
Williamston has come so near to
scoring so many times and pick
ed up a lot of yards but some
how that little bit of extra "go"
has failed them. Not once this
year has a Williamston runner
gone all the way for a score from
any considerable distance. The
offense appears though to have
been ahead of the defense which
has permitted runners to score on
the Green Wave on long or break
away runs.

The famous and historic Fort Branch now standing on the East end
of the farm is ideal for development. The timber has not been cut
and consists of pine, gum, poplar and cypress. It is a good farm to
do tractor farming, big fields, long rows, no stumps. There is good
hunting and fishing on the farm. There arc two deep wells on the

There will be just one more
home game after this one tomor
row night. Weldon comes here
October 13 after the Green Wave
makes a trip to Ahoskie on Nov
ember 6 for the final conference
game of the season. Last year
Williamston won two conference
games, Columbia and Plymouth.
So far this year it has won one,
Columbia, and tied one, Edenton.
Edenton is reported to have fall
en down considerably since Wil
liamston met them. One report
said the Aces had one man who
wanted to tackle everybody and
the rest did not appear interested
in stopping anybody. Virtually
all teams, of course, suffer from
some of that trouble as players
make a half-hearted effort to stop
a runner but don’t really put in
their best. Fans who follow the
teams can pick them out as they
notice they are almost never in
on a tackle or block.
Had Williamston not suffered
so many injuries there was an out
side chance they could stop Ahos
kie but now it appears a matter of
seeing how low the score can be
held unless some of the boys can
come up with above par perform
ances.

"Sunshine tsue~, nationally
known figure on the “Old Domin
ion Barn Dance" program, will
headline the entertainment sche
dule at the Martin County Fair in
the Carolina Warehouse here Fri
day afternoon at 4:00 o’clock and
again at 7:30 o’clock in the even
ing.
So popular has she become in
Virginia through her WRVA pro
gram, that she was crowned
"Queen of the Hillbillies,” a title
given her by Virginia’s former
Governor William M. Tuck.
Born Mary Arlene Higdon, she
was the last of seven children of

farm folks in Keosaupua. When
she dated John Workman for the
first time, she began the life-long
use of the singing voice that was
to become so famous, The two
married right after high-school
at a time when the 1930 depres
sion giipped the nation, and when
as Sue puts it, "You couldn't buy
a job."
The Workmans eventually got
an opportunity to sing and play
the guitar on a small Iowa sta
tion, went on to a larger one. The
trail to hillbilly fame led them
to Chicago and the “National Barn
Dance,” and finally, in 1940, to
Richmond.
Sue got her name during the
early hectic performances. One
morning, their announcer, unable
to remember the name of their
act, crooked his finger at her and
said, “Hey, you, you there—Sun
shine Sally—that's what I’ll call
you. Anyone who can look that
bright at this time in the morning
deserves to be called Sunshine.”
In 1953, when the Workmans
joined the “National Barn Dance"
in Chicago, there were three Sal
lys already, and so her name be
came Sunshine Sue.
Sue plans eleven OLD DO
MINION BARN DANCE programs
each week, and serves as mistress
of ceremonies for most of them.
A unit from the barn dance troupe
puts on a Sunshine-Sue-planned
migrant at various places in Vir-o
ginia, North Carolina or Mary
land several times each week. Sue
appears with most of these units.
Son Bill, who is 12 years old,
and little daughter, Virginia Sue,
four years old, come in for a great
share of Sue’s attention. The
Workmans are now Virginians
and own a 196-acre farm, Medley
Grove, in Hanover County, Vir
ginia.
On Sundays, Sue plays the or
gan and John is an elder at King’s
Chapel Presbyterian Church,
quarter a mile from the farm. In
the afternoon they relax with the
children by fishing on the banks
of the South Anna River, a mile
f which borders their farm.
