The" Perquimans Weekly learned
this week from an unofficial source
that the State Highway Commission
now plans' to start work on the con
struction of the Hertford-Center Hill
road within the next 30 days. Ac
cording to the report received by The
Weekly, a State Highway engineer
was in town Monday and notified
land owners in the area to harvest or
move all crops from land to be used
for the new roadway within the 30-
day period.
The project is one long promised by
the Highway Commission, and Town

the project be completed as soon as
possible. The Town of Hertford has
been delayed in making improvements
to Grubb Street extended due to the
failure on the part of the Highway
Commission to construct the new
roadway as promised last year.

Perquimans High School Indians
bounced back from defeat in their
first two football games of the year
to win a 6-0 victory in the first Al
bemarle Conference game played last
Friday night. The Indians won over
WindsoT in a game played at Wind
sor.
The, Indians continued to show im
provement in moat departments of
the g$ne and expect to put up a
great battle against Ahoskie, who
plays fere Friday night. Bob Jordan
and Jatk Symon did some outstand
ing work on both the defense and of
fense, against Windsor, according to
Coach Joe Levinson, who also praised
the playing of little Red Simpson,
L. C. lSlliott, Bill Boyce and Nathan
Spiveyi
Windsor was unable to field a team
of eligible high school players and,
according to the reports played four
or five ineligible players during the
game. The Indians proved too pow
erful for Windsor and the low score
of 6-0 does not reveal the advantages
Perquimans rolled up against the
Bertie County team. Perquimans
made 12 first downs to Windsor's
four, and missed opportunities to
score at least twice due to nine run
ning out. L. C. Elliott scored the
lone tally for Perquimans' on a re
verse play after Simpson had carried
the ball for 28 yards, down to the one
yard line.
A number of the Indians have been
unable to report for practice during
the past two weeks, due to work at
home, and this has handicapped the
Coach in daily workouts, however,
several night practices this week has
enabled; Coach Levinson to stress de
fense tactics expected to be used
as-ainst the Ahoskie team in the
came tonight.
Ahoskie is rated as having one of
the best teams in the conference, hav
ihg won two games against strong
opponents. The Indians are pointing
toward the game this week and hope
to upset the visitors in the contest
tonight.
