Indians Drop Game To Edenton; Play At Windsor On Friday Local Gridders Show Im provement Over First Game Played Coach Joe Levinson's Perquimans Indians dropped a hard-fought foot ball game to their old rivals, the Edenton Aces, last Friday night by a score of 13-0. This score, however, does not reveal the improvement shown by the Indians between the opening game with Elizabeth City and the second game with the Aces. Coach Levinson made some shifts in varsity positions last week and the changes showed up in the great de fensive job the Indians did against Edenton. The Indian offensive, how ever, seemed unable to click and missed opportunities to score be cause of fumbles. The Indians rolled up seven first downs to Edenton's six, but failed to score on any determined drives. The game was marred by the numerous fumbles by both teams, but it ap peared that the Indians fumbled more than Edenton. Local fans disputed the second touchdown scored by Edenton in the final quarter. The Edenton scores came after Perquim ans had lost the ball on fumbles. A resume of the game revealed that the Indians had a net gain of more than 100 yards, while the Aces had a net gain of only three yards. The Perquimans line smothered the Aces' backfield on numerous occa sions and no doubt the outcome would have been different had the Indians been able to hang onto the ball at crucial moments. The changes made by Coach Lev inson in the lineup proved to be smart moves, for the changes made a big difference in the defensive power of the Indians. Chester Winslow and Jack Symons were inserted at end and guard respectively, and Emmett Elmore was switched from end to tackle. Bill Boyce displayed a good game at the tail back spot and L. C. Elliott handled the generalship of the team playing at quarterback. ijittleRed Simpson, a reserve back, got away for two nice runs during the game. The Indians will journey to Wind sor Friday night to meet the Windsor High School team in a conference game and Coach Levinson is expect ed to start the same lineup that started in the game at Edenton. The next home game for the Indians will be played here Friday, October 10, when Ahoskie comes here for a game Communion Sunday To Be Observed World-wide Communion Sunday is to be observed at three churches of the Perquimans charge on Sunday, October 5, it was announced today by the Rev.

Health Department Sponsors Campaign Of Rat Poisoning Acting upon receipt of several complaints about rats, The Perquim ans Health Department is planning a rat poisoning campaign to be car ried out by the residents of this community. The poison to be used in the cam paign is called red squill and an or der has been placed for the poison. It will be sold by the Health Depart ment at a non-profit cost of 25 cents. Each bag of poison will contain 24 torpedoes or baits. The rat poison ing campaign will get under way just as soon as the poison is received at the local Health Office, it was an nounced today by K. J. Ever, Sani tation Officer. Every resident of Hertford will be asked to join in the program to rid the community of rats. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the need for increased community interest in rat control measures. Many are aware of the great economic dam ages caused by rats, but far too few persons realize that the rat is instru mental in causing and in the taking of human life. The rat carries dis eases of both man and animal, the most important of which are bubonic plague, endemic typhus fever, food poisoning and trichinosis. According to officials of the Health Department, the rat has become de pendent on man, and will make its home anywhere that food is also ob tainable. Permanent rat control, Mr Eyer said, can be accomplished by the elimination of the rat's food sup ply, and of his places of breeding and harborages. Surveys have shown that rat har borages are the enclosed spaces in homes and buildings which provide shelter, a home and a breeding place. Structural defects of buildings, debris and trash inside and outside buildings-should be eliminated as this will destroy the rat's harborage. The elimination of the rat's fpd supply is second only in importance to rat-proofing. Probably the chief reason why so many homes are in fested with rats is due to careless handling of garbage and the Health Department ; qlfejaJs urge local resi dents to place' gaibage in containers suitable for the purpose. All food should be stored in places inacces sible to rats. .-: Rats are-.a' menace to health and! the local danarJiwijV nixes evffx. per son in this .qommunifv to jo.in.iif witfi. its rat poisoning -program VWeh will get under wfcy. as &0ori,'as;.(hie"poison arrives.
