Pirates Are Victorious S By TONY JORDAN Although Coach Webster 'and his Pirates shut out Northampton 12-0, Monday, the coach wai discontent. ?'If we had played them Friday we would have scored four or five times more. Monday night football Is not for high school; it's for the pros." Perquimans tame close to more scores many times. The closest was ended on the one and a half yard line with a fourth and one situation. The one thing Webster didn't fret about was his team's defense. The entire defense ' should be 'congratulated. Tyronne 'Spellman and Reginald 'Overton . turned In ex ceptional performances at end and nose guard. Commenting on the key to the Pirates success, Web ster said, "The linebackers improved a lot over last week. The front linemen did a good Job in controlling the line." . ; " Offensively, the Pirates were less than stunning, but they got the Job done. Both scores came on. the first drive of each half. Nor thampton fumbled the opening game ktckoff and the Pirates recovered on the Northampton 29. Charlie Sutton brought the ball close to a Pirate score, but after a couple of penalties, the Pirates chances of taking an early game - lead diminished. Sutton came right back for some tough yardage against the Rams to score. Michael Flythe aroused evryone after the half time activities as he saunterd to mid-field on the klckoff. After a penalty and some first-rate runs, Sutton carried two Ram defenders in the end zone for the last six points. , . Northampton refused to falter. With the ball on their one yard-line, they daringly tried a successful halfback , pass from deep in the end zone. Tony Edwards found 65" end, Jerry Beasley, - ' .T"'"x" ' " " "t"- ' - I ""V - r 7 ion ot iJjM W:-y, - - u T' y . . r : I ' downfleld for a 32-yard pick up. But the drive and the hopes of Northampton was corked on Calvin Whedbee's interception in the 4th quarter, .." Now, Webster and his ferocious Pirates must turn v their attention to next ' week's big game with ' conference leader, Mur freesboro, "This could be the turning point for us," stated Webster. "They're big, real tough and real physical. They have a veteran team; most of the starters are returning from last year ... For us to beat them we are going have to play a superb defense." The game Is in Hertford. It is also homecoming for the Pirates and the Homecoming Queens will be crowned at half time.

Clbbs THS fV GRAY gj SAYS -ill ' By NELLIE M. SANDERS, Director, Pettigrew Regional Library HOOTS OPEN HOUSE Sunday afternoon was a proud occasion for everyone interested in libraries in this area since it marked the official opening of the newly-enlarged and renovated Perquimans County Library in Hertford. It was a thrill for me, especially, since the Perquimans County Board of Commissioners has approved the request by their library board to join the Pettigrew Regional Library. Iron ing out all the details of the merger may take a little time, but I don't believe it was premature or inappropriate to celebrate this new instance of multi-county cooperation. Mrs. John. Biggers, the chairman of the Perquimans County Library Board, made a very gracious hostess and she was ably assisted by the other members of the Board. The soon-to-retire librarian, Mrs. Lucy Whedbee, and her co-worker, Mrs. Addie Keegan, were tireless in their duties as guides for the new facilities and seemed to grow more en thusiastic as they described to each new batch of visitors all , the additional features on display. From the improved lighting overhead down to the springy carpeting underfoot, everything looked fresh and new functional yet eye-pleasing. Room for expansion was ap parent on the beautiful new shelves. The wicker furniture and the bean-bag chairs both offer invitations to relax and read while the businesslike study tables have comfortable chairs for the serious researchers. The browser bins for recordings and the spinning rack for new books were most attractive. Altogether, the atmosphere was inviting just the way a good library should be. SCREECHES A FEW CHANGES Many of the guests at the Open House asked me how the merger would affect the Per quimans County Library. My invariable reply was that we would try to build on the fine foundation to make a good library better. The Plan of Service which the State Library requires has not yet been drawn, but the Chief Consultant Marion Johnson, who represented the State Library at the Open House, agreed in principle with the plans as outlined in the presentation made to the Perquimans County Com missioners. The services of the staff of the Pettigrew Regional Library, particularly those of the' Director, the Children's Coordinator Mary Eileen Bieler and the administrative assistant-bookkeeper Sheila Furlough will be available to the Perquimans County Library. In addition, we are adver tising for a professional librarian and for an assistant to work with Mrs. Keegan. As a temporary measure, some of the present staff members from the Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library in Edenton will be assigned to work in Hertford during the transition, period. The extra held will allow us to increase the hours of service in the near future.
