''v'"-'' , The Indians rolled up 12 first downs "to the Jackets' 7, but this as well as the score failed to reveal the super iority the Indians held over the Yel low Jackets. Every player on the . Perquimans team gave a fine performance which had a bearing on the victory. The Indian linesmen stopped Elizabeth City drives and. were a power on of fensive plays. Williams scored the second TD for Perquimans shortly after the start of the second quarter when he ran 49 yards for the score. Morris passed to Matthews for the conversion mak ing the score 14-0 for Perquimans. Minutes later Smith, Yellow Jacket back, broke loose' from the Indians defense and raced 69 yards for the first goal for Elizabeth City. The Jackets kicked the extra point and the score was 14-7.

Each high school principal is being requested to-designate a com- im,te pf three teachers who will, on February 27, select the two best es says, from his school. , During the next two or three months is the best time to plant decid uous trees of all kinds. That gives them a chance to get well settled by the time the spring growing season arrives and they are more likely to survive than if planted later, v In selecting trees to plant in the farm yard or even on the front lawn we should keep the pecan in mind. In addition to the crop of nuts pro duced the pecan is a beautiful tree and is as valuable for shade as any of our deciduous trees. It is not nec essary to plant more than one tree in order to get a crop of nuts although a better crop may result if more than one tree or more than one variety are planted somewhere near by. For eastern North Carolina we rec ommend the Stuart, Cape Fear and Brake varieties. The .Mahan variety is popular because of the large size of the nuts, but is not as resistant to disease. For the Piedmont, the Stuart variety is probably most relia ble: and in the mountains only north ern varieties such as Indiana or Green River should be planted. In buying trees there is no ad vantage in getting the largest trees. A five to six foot tree is a desirable size and will not cost as much as a larger one. Trees should be set slight ly deeper, than they were in the nur sery and should be at least 60 feet apart so that they will not crowd when they are full grown. While pre paring for planting take care that the roots of the trees do not dry out. Place them in a tub of water or cover them with wet burlap sacks. Dig a hole large enough to take care of the root system without crowd ing and fill in around the roots with top soil. Do not put commercial fer- We Sell Marsh Ready-Made Kitchen Cabinets Plywood ALL SIZES CUT TO, MEASURE DISAPPEARING STAIRWAYS See Us For Your Building: Needs (.,- Harris Plumbing & Building Supply Co.

Each spring just as the buds are swelling apply a well balanced garden fertilizer underneath the spread of the branches at the rate of 2 pounds for each year of age of the tree from the time of planting. For more complete information, write to the Department of Agricultural in formation, N. C. State College, Ra leigh, and ask for Circular No. 342 on pecans. , Specialists Agree That " Posture Is Beneficial Posture affects the way you look, work, and feel, agree State College extension specialists. Just what is it about a person that makes you turn around to take a sec ond look? Virginia Wilson, exten sion nutritionist, says that you don't necessarily have to have beautiful naturally curly hair or big brown eyes to be considered attractive. "But you do have to have good posture." How many times at about four o'clock in the afternoon have you felt completely exhausted? "That listless feeling may stem from organic diffi culties, or it may arise from some thing as apparently simple as poor posture," says Mamie Whisnant, ex tension specialist in home manage ment.' ' "The effects of an expensive, tailor made suit are lost on the woman with poor posture," says Julia Mclver, clothing specialist "People actually get their first impression of you from your posture before they notice what you're wearing or how you speak. Posture tells "others just how you feel physically and mentally." Posture is the way you hold your self whether you're walking, sitting, or just standing still. Good posture is a habit that can be cultivated, but it will take exercise and lots of de termination. There's a right way and a wrong way to do your daily house hold jobs. " Use the right way it's much simplier and easier on you.
