Then Chief Ahoskie came to our town, With a tribe of fighting braves. To tear each other upside and town, " Was what each side had craved. But there, wasn't much difference in either tribe, The game ended well. . , Just five points more on the Ahoskie side, They won just seven to twelve. Then Plymouth turned loose her panthers, To see if they could do something, They fought and they gnawed, they barked and they clawed, But you beat them twenty-four to nothing. Push on! Push on to Williamston! Was the cry of you fighting eleven They fought you rough with a plenty of stuff, . But vou beat them eighteen to . seven.

It was the same sjiwt ol restlessness among the first iwe and those who followed them, combin ed with the search .for opportunity and the drive to get ahead, that built up this country and made It the great democratic power it is today. - - The mobility of the population has contributed much to the dynamics of the economy. The fact so many peo ple are willing to take advantage of opportunity wherever it turns up nas prevented the development or rigidi ties which are common in other coun tries where people move' about less freelv. Mobility has -likewise had a far-reacfiing economic stimulus, creat ing, for example, markets for new ! r -3 i3 li i i t .a iuai tie eiilui to t.e r c t t' e L". exude, and brins ; li.r I) fte job from ore purt t-' : j conn'- to the otaer ana to evea comparatively remote areas. i:.'":iy Ey Age Groups Mnt.!"fcy in found amonK all adult age groups, but tie young tend to be much more mobile than their eiaers and particularly so if they are war veterans. Between 1951 and 1952, for examnle. nearly 88 ner cent of those between 20 and 24 changed their place of residence, and nearly a third ot all those between 25 and 29. Older people, of course, have had more chance to get established and tend to stay put more than younger ones, out even so nearly 9 per cent of all those 65 and over chancre their place t-f residence in the 1951-52 period. An indication of relationship be tween mobility and income .is found in the fact that a larger proportion of homes, building up communities and persons with low incomes is found ) T - i I i - . 3 A cr C.ja LvJ ia v i .

So that's the names of our football squad The best bunch of boys I ever saw. May God bless them and guide them. And may their hearts be true. May they never have troubles that worry them, And this goes for their parents too, Next year we won't have Howard Williams, We won't have John Morris too. And oh, how we are going to miss them. But they couldn't always stay with you. Nation On TI13 Go; High Modify Is Aid To Economy . One of the extraordinary and in vigorating aspects of American life is the mobility of the population as evidenced by the great number of persons who change their homes tmd places of residence every year. Figures compiled by the U. S. Bur eau of the Census from a sample sur vey show that approximately 20 peri cent or the civilian population moved in each year between 1947 and 1952. The number involved exceeded 30 mil lions in the year between April, 1951 and April, 1952. The majority of these movers stay within the same community or nearby 'areas but mil lions move across state lines, every year. ' A Long Tradition v This mobility has long been charac teristic of the American population. As a result the Census Bureau found that nine out of every ten persons one year old and over in the United States in April of last year had mov- -inrrri"'" i iiinniLruxunj.
