As the president of the North Carolina League of Municipalities, Mayor George Dill, Morehcad City, will represent North Carolina at the American Municipal Association annual meeting in San Francisco. The meeting will begin Saturday, Nov. 30. Mayor Dill was elected president of the league Monday at the annual session in Raleigh. The mayor and other town offi cials who attended the meeting handed out key chains with the key to Morehcad City on them. "The keys made a big hit," the mayor reported. An equipment firm gave a tea one afternoon during the session in honor of Alfred E. Batt, mayor of Salisbury, England, who was a dis tinguished guest at the meeting. Mayor Dill gave the mayor of the English city a key to Morehead City and told Mayor Batt of the his tory of Morehead City's coat of arms. The English mayor was ex tremely interested. Then the mayor of Morehcad City asked the mayor of Salisbury, England, if it was customary for suppliers of municipal equipment to give social events, such as the tea, for English municipal officials. Mayor Batt said yes indeed, that at the "trade fairs" in England, town officials arc royally wined and dined. Mayor Batt's wife was thrilled with the costume jewelry she found in stores in Raleigh.

The Morehead City Eagles and Beaufort Seadogs will renew a colorful rivalry tonight when they meet at Beau fort in their annual hattle for the Mullet Bucket. The rivalry goes back to 1950 and at no time since then has there been greater enthusiasm in the camps on either side of the river. The Eagles, going after a state AA-C championship, have won four ? straight ball games by convincing scores. The Scadogs, winners of three straight before tying Haveloek, are aiming for a spot in the Class A play-offs. Despite the fact that Morehead City is in a higher class ification, the Seadogs have high hopes for upsetting the high-flying Eagles. The only people who are really willing to talk about the game to night are the fans. Sendog fans, caught up in the fever of a winning season, are predicting a victory for their team. They feel that the depth of the Seadogs will make the difference in the game. Eagles fans say that the Sea dogs can two platoon all night if they want to. None of the More head City players are injured and so far. game injuries have been light. Tape Needed Injuries, however, may be an important factor for the Seadogs. All conference back Larry Kirk has been on the light duty list all year and will not be in top con dition for tonight's game. Weak ankles and sprained muscles have hampered other Scadogs in prac tice and the coach declares that his team would fall apart without plenty of tape.
