rVe 6 - The Perquimans County PER-CO-HI By Karen IJaskett The collective PCHS atudent body heaved a sigh of relief on Friday, January 16, as the bell sounded ending the last mid-year exam. For many students the past few days had been ones of cramming, late-night studying, and worrying over grades. After three days of concentrated effort, students were glad to call it quits. After the last exam on Friday, students enjoyed an extended recess and then loudly expressed themselves in a rousing pep rally led by the cheerleaders. i , Exams must not have affected our basketball teams, however. Each team played one of its best games of the season that night against traditional "Ace " rivals John A. Holmes High. The Squaws came Up from behind to capture their second victory of the season with a score of 28-28. Although the Indians and Aces were at one time tied during the game, the Aces came out on top by a score of 54 to 43. Both games proved to be susptnseful and exciting. ; The cheerleaders sponsored a highly successful sock hop after the ball game. Music was provided by the "Rebels" of Edenton. Seniors are once again in the news. Several seniors, including Nann Ambrose, Wayne Riddick, and Karen Haskett, have recently been interviewed for scholar ships.

UNIVERSAL PICTURE TECHNICOLOR 3 - 4 - S p.m. - Regular Admission TFruKicoiot..., UNITED ARTISTS January 29, 1970 Lavm uoilccts Pest Treatment That long hot summer is coming. The way your lawn will look depends on the way you treat it before summer gets here. According to Billy Griffin, Asst. Agricultural Agent, it takes good management and persistence to grow a good lawn. However, neglect and poor management can soon turn a good lawn into a playground for dust devils. "It's never too early to begin preparing the lawn for the stresses of the summer," says Griffin." "Any needed Urne should be applied now and fer tilizer applications should begin soon. The cool season grasses such as fescue and bluegrass should get their first topdressing in February and treatment for the summer grasses should begin in April," continued Griffin. The acidity or pH of the soil should be maintained in the proper range. i- . Griffin says this can not be emphasized too strongly. If the pH is too low, application of fertilizer only aggravates the situation. A soil test seems to be the best way to get a measure of the present acidity. A testing service is provided by the Soil Testing Division of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. The Division agronomists have compiled the latest information and will make various treatment suggestions designed to correct the fertility problems encountered by the home gardener. The testing service is one of the free services offered to the people by the Department of Agriculture. A sample of soil which represents the average conditions in your yard, flower bed or vegetable garden is all the laboratory requires. Of course, you must furnish enough information about your situation so that corrective measures can be prescribed. To make it easy the laboratory furnishes all the needed materials and instructions. These are available from the laboratory in Raleigh or at the County Ex tension office in Hertford. One of the secrets of successful .management of lawn grass, according to Griffin, lies in controlling the growth of the unwanted as well as the wanted grass. The growth of both kinds is controlled by sunlight, tem perature and the fertility level resulting from the application of fertilizer. Inasmuch as the temoerature is beyond the control of the home gardener, adjusting the fertilization in relation to the growth season of the desireable grass is suggested. This is the basis for the time schedule for applying fertilizer which accompanies each soil test report. Sunlight as a whole is also beyong the gardeners control but Griffin suggests that it can be controlled to the disadvantage of some of the unwanted grasses. Crabgrass is fescue and bluegrass can be retarded or smothered out by keeping the lawn mower cutting height set at two and one half to three inches. The high thick grass prevents sunlight penetration to the soil.

HARRISON PERQUIMANS COUNTY TAX CCLLECTCn Indians Take Two From Scotland Neck A last ditch effort by Scotland Neck fell short in the' final seconds as the Perquimans In dians took a SO-49 victory In an Albemarle Conference game, here Friday night. The thrilling game, which saw the lead change hands at least a dozen times in the fourth quarter, was the Indians first win of the season. - The Indians took a 16-12 lead in the first quarter but had come back to be down one point, 30-31, at Intermission. ' The third quarter was dominated by stiff defensive play. The Indians scored only ten points and the Scots only nine in the third period. This set the stage for the , exciting fourth quarter. ' C. J. Stallings, a key player, fouled out early in the final period and the Scots took advantage of this by grabbing a two-point lead. Both teams then went into a cold spell and it was not until Gary Rouse hit two free throws with 29 seconds left to give the Indians a 50-47 lead that thev had some breathing room. But Scotland Neck stormed back as Dickey hit a IS foot shot Pooh Grove Chapanoke Rural Community Development Meet Food value stretchers was the main topic discussed at the regular meeting of Pools Grove Chapanoke Rural Community Development meeting, Monday, January 26, 1970.
