Every now and then, in a weak moment, I stick my neck out and get it caught in a tight noose. This time there are approximately 1,000 ladies tugging at the rope (isn’t one enough?) They are members of 40 garden clubs in Raleigh involved in a pro ject called “HANDS" — “Home and Area Development Sponsors,” and .they have been working real hard to win a portion of the $2,000 to be offered in cash prizes. I have the evidence in 40 voluminous re ports of accomplishment. The other two judges, a city planner and a lady high-up in gar den circles, have more knowledge of what this is all about than I do so they are depending on- me to supply the objectiveness necessary to evaluate the scrapbooks. The judges are invited to attend an aivards banquet later this montH. ■ NEED MONEY? ; vvv'V - We LOAN ON DIAMONDS, WATCHES, JEWELRY, SILVER, TYPEWRITERS, OLD COINS, GOLD, MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, GUNS PHILLIPS LO*H AND JEWELERS, INC 441 North Queen Street T-5 W.

The soldier-shooters, represent ing 13 major Commands of the Army in Europe, will be compet ing for rifle, pistol and automatic rifle championships. The 29-year-old soldier, son of William C. Howard, 418 E. Vernon Ave. in Kinston, is a surveyor in V Corps, Army Marksmanship Unit in Germany. He entere<f the Army in June 1958 and arrived overseas on this tour of duty in November 1962. Howard attended Grainger High School. His mother, Mrs. Margret D. Jones, lives at 1207 W. Agarita, San Antonio, Tex. For myself, I think I will find it convenient to be trout fishing in the headwaters of Toe River or on a secluded beach at the coast. Laying all jokes aside, this is an absorbing and rich experience. I have already spent eight uninter rupted hours (except to refill my pipe) and am- not half done. It is the best opportunity I have ever had to study social ecology. In the first place I should Tike to be highly complimentary of this HANDS program sponsored by the Raleigh Council of Garden Clubs. It is amazing to me what has and is being accomplished and the spir it of unselfishness and cooperation that is evident in all reports. I feel "rather positive that this program is. doing more to make Raleigh a beautiful city than any other sponsored program. When over 1,000 citizens present a united front the city fathers listen. The manner in which the municipal government has responded, and as getting into full swing now. Last Monday the J<T team met James Kenan for a double-header which was split between Jhe two teams with the Rockets winning one by a score of 18-4. James Kenan took the other by ,a score of 4-3. On the same day, the JV Rockets took The big event at Jones Central this week is, of course, the Junior Senior Prom. From what we hear now, the prom is going to be -very beautfiul, and the Juniors have worked hard to plan it. Em sure that everyone is • quite aware of the guerilla warfare that went on in the county last week. They had to call the maneuvers off on Wednesday night because the citizens of Jones County (especial ly the students at Jones Central) were helping the guerillas so much that they .were actually winning! On Thursday, Captain Wilkerson, the leader of the guerilla forces, came to Jones Central to talk to the students. He thanked us for a game 5-3. f‘A from foton by a score of / , all our help (boys and girls), and reminded us that the SOS, which was the division that the guerillas were fighting, has an outstanding combat record, and that their com mander, Colonel Webel has been awarded every medal that the U.S. sisted, in improving problem areas is most gratifying. Many of the scrapbook covers are handmade works of arts. Oth ers were purchased. But the judge is primarily concerned with what is between_the covers. In my own case, I have placed major emphas is on: individual home site im prvoement; community improve ments; and participation in civic affairs and programs. Some of the accomplishments are7: development of parks; area zoning; installing curbs and paving streets; cleaning up vacant lots; beautify ing area entrances; landscaping school grounds; installation of public utilities in recent annexed areas; flowers for hospitals and county homes; and above all, im provement of the individual home environment.

Mr. David L, Nance would like to urge that anyone having any live gun shells which were left from the maneuvers eitjier try to dis pose of them as quickly as possible or hand them over to the MP’s who> will be collecting them. These shells could be very dangerous, and that is why such extreme precau tion is urged. rr We recently heard some students from EiCC tell of a professor who was placed on probation because he failed too many students. This may be of some consolation to some students at JC. ITn sure that they understand what I mean. Wonder . .. . If Geri Foy had a good time Monday night? If Tiger Lowery is feeling bet ter? , If anyone has had any flat tires lately ? If Sue Booth enjoyed her “ex pedition” last Sunday night? What was in that cup that Mary Ann DeBruhl, Betty Jo Hudson, and Kathy Roper had last Satur day? If any people have found themsel ves lying in a ditch lately ? Lieut.
