A LOVE BUG? For a moment, news photographer Francine Sawyer thought Walt
Disney Productions were making a sequence to "The Love Bug," a movie about a small
foreign car such as this, which could fly in the air and had a mind of its own. But such
was not the case. This was just a junked car at Dee's Automotive Repair near WoodviMe.
It made a different sort of photograph.

Something
Extra For
TheWeekly
; In The Perquimans
Weekly edition today,
readers will find an
added feature.
Over 30 firms in
Pasquotank County are
written about, .each
giving a description of the
firm in the form of a news
digest.
However, these are all
ads and are paid for,
The regular ad
vertisers in The
Perquimans Weekly were
not contacted, because
the management at this
newspaper felt,- the
regular patronage of
Perquimans County and
area advertisers, is
helpful and appreciated.
Therefore, to call upon
the regular advertisers, it
was felt, would be putting
an added burden on them.
Test To Be
Given
The Perquimans County
High School will administer
the National Educational
Development Tests, a
testing program that helps
professional educators,
parents and students plan
together for the educational
and vocational future of the
students. ; ' ,:
According to James S.
Midgette. director of
guidance at the high school,
the test will be given Oct. 25.
He also said the NEDT
program - is being used
because it will give the
school the type, of in
formation it needs to help
the students r.iakc realistic
decisions. "The NEDT will
help us to help the student
plan wisely for his future
education and for his future
career
"The program will reveal
how well the students can
apply the skills they have
acquired since entering
school. It will help ,,us
recognize the strengths ; in1
each student's educational '
development ard, at the
same time, will pinpoint
weaknesses. . -

Broughton joined our
detective and conducted his
own investigation in an
effort to locate this missing
witness who was in hiding in
fear of his own life.
"On June 27, 1973 through
Sheriff Broughton's
professionalism, his com
plete knowledge of his
county and its people and his
intelligent approach to our
Boy
man," manager Dick
Williams said of Hunter's
performance one in which
he did not permit an Oriole
runner beyond second base.
"I mean nothing."
Ray Fosse, who caught
the series clincher, climbed
on the Hunter bandwagon.
"In a pressure game, we
gave the ball to the right
man. He's a money pitcher.
He kept everything down
around the knees. There was
no way they (the Orioles)
were going to beat us."
Hunter, who was a 21
game winner this year, said
he tired in the later innings
but there was no way he was
going to come out.
"I'm a control pitcher and
1 just wanted them to hit my
pitch," he said. "Sal
iBando, third baseman)
kept coming over in the late
innings to tell me to make
sure I kept my pitches down,
especially the first pitch. We
didn't want any of those
guys hitting the ball in the
air. I was hitting my spots."
The first pitch reference
was a personal reminder
that he had given up 22 of his
39 regular season home runs
on the initial serve.
"There was no way I was
going to forget that bit of
tidbit," Hunter smiled.
Williams made a quick
trip to the mound in the
ninth, but it was only to slow
Hunter down. "As long as he
was in no serious trouble, we
weren't close to pulling him
out." Williams said. "But if
he needed help, we had our
stoppers (Kollie Fingers
and Darold Knowles)
ready."
Hunter said he was
anxious to get Ihe game over
with. "1 wanted us to hurry
up and make three outs so I
could get back on the mound
and relax." he said. "Once
you're throwing in a good
groove, you want to hurry
up and keep throwing."
He was throwing so well
that Fosse said he was
tempted to catch in a
rocking chair. "Sometimes
when I'm catching him. I
just kind of watch in ad
miration," said Fosse, who
came from a second division
club to a championship
team in the spring. "Today
was one of those days. Once
.we got three runs. I knew we
had it won the way he was
pitching."
Hunter, who walked two
and hit a batter, admitted
that he felt the pressure of
the best-of-five series finale.
And in doing so, he said he
flet that the playoffs were
more pressure-packed than
the World Series.
"We knew today it was a
do-or-die situation." he said.
