"Let boys and girls learn to work with ,and for others, while they learn" to think and judge for them elves." Khere is no question but that such an organization as the Junior Red Cros gives young peo ple that kind of opportunity, n But skill in learning and growth in knowledge are not enough. Good social attitudes, ideals and habits of action must be formed too, or schools will fall short of the best ideals of true education. I commend the students enrolled in the Junior Red Cross upon their accomplishments in the past, and hope sincerely that this youth group will continue to be a constructive force in the community, the nation and the world.

BTAwrmto : v i:oTiCE SECTION ONE By SAM BYRD Since "The Duplin Story" I have been tremendously interested in hu man interest mateiial ab6ut Duplin County. This week, Mrs. Christine Willi ams, Register of Deeds of the Coun ty, whos son Melvin played an im portant role in the Sarecta Scene, called me into the Court House to show me an index to the marriages which occurred in Duplin County in the years 179 (year of the found ing of Duplin County) to 1868. Mrs. Williams explained that the original marriage bonds of Duplin County are in the possession of the N. C. Historical Ass'n. at Ralieigh. They are filed alphabetically in boxes and may be consulted by the public. Through the kindness of Mr. Frank Burton, State Archivist, a complete photostatic copy of the Duplin County Marriage Bonds has been furnished to the county, free of charge. They arrived two weeks ago. Until August, 1937, the files, un indexed, were in the State Archives at Raleigh. In 1937, the compilation was typed and indexed by the Li brary Staff of the Genealogical So ciety of Utah at Salt Lake City. The indexed list of brides and grooms includes records of 1553 marriages performed in the coun ty since 1749. There are two parts of the index: Part 1, Marriage bonds listed alpha betically under the name of the groom; Part 11, :naex of Brides. "It is believed that these 1553 marriages which are shown in this index does not represent all the i marriae8 which occurred in Duplia 1 5unty durln thl Prio1. but they m f"eni an oi me marriage records preserved during this peri od," Mrs. Williams said. "This index will be of invaluable help to all persons interested in family history," Mrs. Williams add ed. "Information concerning family marriages msy be secured "at the court house through the aid of these files without having to make the trip to Raleigh." Mr. Burton, State Archivist, who furnished the County with these valuable records, is a foster brother of Mrs. Tforman T. Pickett of Mag nolia. A few colored marriages are re corded in the index and are plainly indicated. Mrs. Williams has arranged to have the files properly bound and tabbed. These marriage bonds have been roperly copied and checked by the State Historical Commission. I spent a pleasant and an infor mative hour Wednesday afternoon thumbing through the records.

Beulaville's only seri ous threat came as a penalty back ed the Tigers up to their own 15 yard line and gave Beulaville their ..my first down of the night. The Beulaville full back failed to com plete on two pass atempts and then Warsaw's Hughie Lewis Intercept ed the third pass attempt and ran the ball to the 16 yard line where the Tiger's power took over again. The Tiger defense against the Pan ther's running attack just could not oe dented all night as Beulaville only had a net gain by running of 5 yards. Only 4 of 18 pass attempts were completed by the Panthers for a total of 43 yards and they only had the 1 first down which was made on a penalty on Warsaw so the Tiger's defense was very good. On the other hand the Tiger's of fense was so effective that it may seem the score should have been much higher because the Tigers had a net gain of 153 yards by running and 175 yards on passing for a to tal net offense of 328 yards rot the night. Hughie Lewis, the Tiger's 193 pound full back, really had a good night for himself as he gained a net yardage of 117 in 24 trys tor a 4.8 average; caught 1 pass for 8 yards; completed 1 of 3 passes for 67 yards and a T.

Charles also took a 37 yard pass from P. B. Hughie Lewis and ran more yards for a T. D. with no Beulaville player anywhere near when he ' crossed the goal line. Charles also picked up 1 first down on quarter back sneak play.' Bobby Lanier, who is the Tiger's scat back with plenty of speed, ran for total of IT yards in 10 trys for the. night but he picked up 1 first, down, and scored 1 T. D. on 1 yard plunge over tackle after he had set the T. D. up on the pass play which he carried for 60 yards and the Tiger's biggest singl gain of the night. Hughie Lewis made 8 first downs on runing for the night and start ed the Warsaw offense off in a big way with, a Si yard return of the opening klckott From this kick-off return the Tigers really marched on straight runing plays for the first T.
