High Tribute Paid to

The Hertford Rotary Club enter

banquet held in the dining room of
the Hotel Hertford, when Superin
tendent of Schools F. T. Johnson, A.
W. Hefren and Rev. D. S. Dempsey,
who represented the program com

most enthusiastic local basketball
viij if a v u jsx vuwwij vilu
fan in Hertford, and who has boost
ed the High School team and en
couraged and helped it for years, in
the course of his remarks stated
that his part of the program was to
pick an all-star team. He referred
to the fact that he had followed with
interest the career of the team for
years, recounting the names of va
rious girls who played basketball in
Hertford from 20 years ago up to
the present, and then said, "But if I
were to pick an all-star team I
should name Edith Everett, Eula
Nixon, Prue Newby, Mabel Spivey,
Hattie Nowell, Louise Delaney, and
Sybil Lamb." These girls composed
the team which has not been defeated
in two years and who have won in
this time four tournaments.
Mr. Dempsey, in hi3 remarks said
that he had been told of the splen
did playing of the girls and that he
had asked "How about the boys?"
He said the answer had been that
the game might result in a walk
away. "I went to see the game,"
he said, "and it was a walk-away,"
but it was our boys who were vic
torius, and after that I followed
every game I could." Referring to
the tournament in Elizabeth City, in
which the boys played in the semi
finals, he said "I saw them win in
Elizabeth City over one of the fast
est teams I have ever seen on the
floor." He said that the boys' team
had been good sports and had been
able to smile in the face of defeat,
and that he had never seen a team
play any cleaner than our boys.
When Dr. C. A. Davenport, presi
dent, who presided, asked if any one
present desired to have anything to
say, Miss Nancy Woods, who coach
ed the victorious girls' team, arose
and thanked the Rotarians for their
support and for their hospitality,
asking for their continued support-
Carl Rogers, who coached the boys'
team, who was affected with a severe
case of hoarseness, arose and apolo
gized for not being able to say more
than to briefly express his thanks.
The guests of the Rotarians in
eluded, in addition to Miss Woods
and Mr. Rogers, Misses Prue Newby,
Hattie Nowell, Mabel Spivey, Eula

Survey Planned to De
cide Logical Site For
Building
The matter of the location of the
new school for Belvidere and Whites
ton is now in the hands of State au
thorities. The new school, which is to take
the place of the burned Belvidere
school, with which will be consoli
dated the Whiteston School, is to be
erected very shortly. Funds for the
purpose will be borrowed from the
State, and the school will be in
readiness for occupancy before the
opening of the next term.
While there was some division of
opinion between the patrons of the
two scnoois as to where the new
building should be located, it was
agreed at a meeting of the Perqui
mans Board of Education held on
Thursday between representatives of
both sides to leave the matter with
the State authorities.
A survey will be made and the
matter carefully gone into, to decide
whether or not it will be better to
build the school on the site of the old
school at Blvidere or to locate it in a
more central point for both schools.
Program To Remove
All Surplus Peanuts
From Trade Channels
In an effort to strengthen the
steadily weakening peanut market,
the federal government has announc
ed a program which will remove sur
plus peanuts from the 1935 peanut
crop from the normal channels of
trade and into the manufacture of
peanut oil and its by products.
The Secretary of Agriculture has
offered to make payments to peanut
growers who sell farmers' stock pea
nuts produced in 1935 to oil peanut
millers to purchase peanuts for di
version. It is contemplated that approxi
mately 66,000 tons of peanuts will
be diverted under this plan.
ihe oiler to peanut growers is
now eitective and will extend
through April 30, 1936.
The rate of payment to growers
will be $21.00 a ton for Virginia
type peanuts, $11.00 a ton for Span
ish type and $3.00 a ton for Runner
type peanuts. Oil millers who pur
chase peanuts under this plan agree
to crush such peanuts into oil and its
by-products on or before June 30,
1936.
