x.veryimng i nave to sen nas aays wnen rerqaimans was amonsr
.gone down to nothing in price, and the top-notchers seemingly are gone
everytning' i nave to buy is going
as high as a kite' Summing up in
the simplest words a situation high
priced word users have been trying
'to clear up fox years, a gray-haired
'farmer on the street Saturday put
it just right as he and a friend en-
gaged in none-too-cheerful conversa
tion. Calling what he was trying to
ay: "the economic situation," would
have thrown this, son of the soil for
te yard loss and a high-pressure
statistician's detailed explanation
would have made everything clear as
mud for him. He doesn't attempt to
offer a remedy but he does know
-there's something wrong and has the
basic elements in his own one-syllable
words: "everything I have to
tell has gone down to nothing and
everything I must buy is going high
as a kite," the best summary yet.
For things a little out of balance
can you or you or you manufacture
a clearer definition?
Prospects for a coach at the high
' school :'rht now are taking on a
sour 4ace. Superintendent F. T.
- Johntfon has engaged two mentors
during the last month, both of whom
fesned before they even got start
ed or paid the town a visit. The
reason? Because their two 'duties;
teaching and coaching, would inter-j
fere. A full time athletic instruc
tor is not provided for this school.
For the present Mr. Johnson does
n't know exactly what to do but
hopes to get a coach, here before the
term opens for business. "There's a
pronounced shortage of male tutors,"
he sighed, "and the fact that the
teacher only fills in as a coach makes
it plenty tough to get one adept at
both teaching classes and drilling
hopeful young athletes in the funda
mentals of blocking and tackling."
The writer hates like thunder to
see these activities die out entirely.
They've been on the skids for the
past several years and almost struck
reck bottom several times, barely
pulling through last season. The
forever. Crowds no longer jam the
park to watch the local boys fight
it out with Ayden or Rocky Mount
for the eastern class B title and
even Wayne Hefren, the loyalest sup
porter of all, is getting just a wee
bit weary of being the entire cheer
ing section as Hertford battles with
a much smaller school
The raw material Js still here, as
in the days of Howard Williams,
"TodyHV Hoffler, "Chub'j v Qoodman,
Lawrence Spivey, the Hurdle Broth
era and Bill Perry. The whole coun
A. .. .1 til .
iy is sun nere to draw irom but a
master craftsman must be on the
scene to fashion anything resembl
ing a smooth piece of championship
machinery in any field of sport.
Scholastic achievements are OK
and well worth striving for but a
school without something outstanding
in the way of sports is a school
never heard of outside its immediate
vicinity.
Until September 11 Marion Rid
dick is at Fort Slocum, New York.
On the eleventh he sails for Hawaii
and Pearl Harbor to take up Army
Air Corps training. After remaining
on the islands for two years he will
return to the states and probably be
stationed in Texas. Marion is a son
of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Riddick, and
was formerly connected with the
Continental Life Insurance Company.
So for the convenience of those
who've asked, the address until Sep
tember 11, is; Private Rufus M. Rid
dick, III, Third Recruiting Company,
Fort Slocum, New ' York.
Well, the big fight's over, little
local money changed hands, and Tom

the listeners-is. here Monday night.
From Clem McCartney's blow by
blow description most of us had
gathered that the Englishman was

judges saw the scrap and we didn't.

HIT OR MISS
ti
By M. L. W.
The crepe myrtle, trees in Hert
ford are- so" pretty just now, and, as
always when these 'lovely flowering
trees begin to blossom in summer,
I wonder why everybody who owns a
home does not plant at least two or
three crepe myrtle trees.
It would be fine if everybody
could remember, when the time to set
out trees comes around, how beauti
ful the crepe myrtle is in bloom.
And speaking of crepe myrtles. I
noticed an odd thing the other day.
The predominating shades of the
crepe myrtle blooms here are pink
and lavender, and there is one "small
tree among those in front of Holy
Trinity Episcopal Church in Hert
ford which has both pink and laven
der blossoms. In the vicinity are
other trees, some with pink and some
with lavender flowers. This particu
lar one is mixed.

ording to figures just released by
