Central High Boys
of Junior Glass
Win From Greystock

Fullback Gutschall. of the Cen
tral High Junior Glass team, made
two touchdowns last evening against
Greystock in a very fine game on
the Island field. One days practice
seemed to have made a great i'm
provement in Central High which
did not make much of a show
against the Eagles. The game be-
gun with the ball in Centrars pos
session. A series of plays followed
which put the team in striking dis
tance of the goal. Gutschall on
neat run rushed over the goal line
for the first touchdown. The Grey
stock team then received and was
stopped on the forty-yard line. They
were then thrown for heavy losses
on the next few plays and were
forced to kick. The kick was block
ed and the ball rolled over the Cen
trails goal and was covered by Got
shall, which made the score stand
IL to 0. In the second half the Cen
trail teaEl was on the thirty-five
yard and was being held for downs.
Stanford made a pretty pass to Rob-
inson, who caught the ball and run
the rest of the distance for touch
down. The ball was then played
beck and forth on the middle of the
field when the final whistle blew
which ended the game, the score
standing at IS to O.

Naval Reserve Office

The submarine activities of
the last few weeks have suddenly
ceased. Whether this fact is due
to the undersea craft having re-
turned to their bases, or having
been sent to the bottom by
American gunners, Of course
cannot be made known at the
present time. But it is IN the
common belief Of seafaring men
that some of the I Boats, at
least, will never return to a Ger
man port.
Although these I Boats did a
certain amount of injury to our
coastwise shipping, their depre-
dations were not entirely with
out benitit to our cause, for
great numbers Of young Ameri-
cans have been all at once
brought to realize what the Navy
can offer in action and excite
meut.
The conse0uenrn of this has
been an unprecedented rush to
the Naval Reserve Enrolling
offices. During the first week
that the enemy's submarines
were lurking off the American
coast, the Naval Reserve enroll
ed almost one-hfth as many men
as the whole United States Navy
contained in the days before the
war.
This branch of the service is
still open to all desirable men.
Registered men eligible provided
that they secure a realease from
their local board. The enrolling
office in Norfolk, located at the
corner of Main and CRANKY
streets, is open daily for enroll
ments from 900 A. M. to 4.3(

War Savings Pledge

Winston Salem, June 2S:-
Stat Headquarters for War Saw
ings calls attention to the fact
that the family War Savings
pledge, that given by the head
of the family for himself and the
dependent members of his family
must be a true statement as to
the number of War Savings
Stamps bought by members. and
particularly as to number they
will pledge themselves to buy
during the remainder of the
year, the father. or householder,
will be called on to make this
pledge during the week of June
1928. and he is urged to Canvass
the members of his family before
that time to know how many
Stamps they own and how many
they intend to buy by December
3lst. He should know this that
he may represent them fairly in
the pledge he makes for them.
AS the pledge made by the
head of the family will become a
record of history of this great
war, State Headquarters empha-
sises the Importance of this
pledge being an accurate repre-

sentation of the family's support
to the War Savings Campaign.
1t calls attention to the fact that
it becomes a permanent record
of the service the family renders
to this call of the Government.
and that after it is made nothing
has the power to change it. 1t
would warn against the tendency
of family heads to underestimate
the Importance of this request of
the Government and to pledge
to little to the cause, an amount
that would not be representa-
tive of the family's ability to
save and lend to the Government
nor their willingness to serve
their Country at this Imperative
hour. 1t advises that every
family take time before making
the pledge to consider, first what
it owes to the soldiers now in the
heat of battle fighting and dying
and, second, what would their
money be worth to them if Ger
many should win the War.

CHARLES R. BARKLEY
SEVERELY WOUNDED
Rosemary Boy First to Enlist from
Community and Cross Over Seas
Severely Wounded in Action
May II.
WRITES MOTHER FROM HOSPITAL

The war was brought home
acutely to this community when
the casualty list on last Friday
contained the name of Corporal
Charles r. Barkley, Machine
Gun Battalion, as being severely
wounded.
Some hours before the casualty
list was made public his parents
were advised by wire from the
Adjutant Generals Office in
Washington of his injuries, and
since that time Mrs. c. r. Bark
ley, his mother, has received a
letter from the young soldier
stating that he is in an Ameri-
can Hospital with American
doctors and nurses and is getting
along fine. He also stated that
he wanted to get back in the
thick of it again as soon as pos
sible.
Charlie" Barkley possesses
the enviable distinction of being
the first to enlist from the COM
munity after war was declared,
the first from the community to
land in France, and the first
from the county to be wounded
in action.

BOARD TO ABOLISH
ALL SURFACE CLOSETS
l. R. S. Septic Tank System or
Equivalent Must Be Installed in
Corporate Limits as Necessary
Health Measure.
WORK COMPLETED IN SIXTY DAYS

AT their meeting held on las
Friday night, the Board of Com
mlssloners voted unanimously tt
to accept the proposition of the
Cement Products Company in
regard to the installation in the
corporate limits Of the town OF
Roanoke Rapids of the L. r. S.
Septic Tank System.
Twenty five or thirty property
owners were present at the meet
ing of the Board and full dis
cussion as to the proposed change
took place. The progressive
spirit Of the citizens Of Roanoke
Rapids was shown by the fact
that none who spoke appeared to
be in favor of letting the present
conditions endure, and the argu-
ment centered on the idea that it
would be better to install a
waterworks and sewerage sys-
TEN than that contemplated.
Figured in regard to the cost of
the waterworks and sewerage
were presented to the Board,
which showed the impossibiIty
of installing same at any time in
the near future, on account of
the magnitude Of expense inyoI-
we'd as well as the difficulty of
getting either labor or materials
necessary for this purpose during
the war.
DR.. I. W. NJ. Long spoke at
length in favor of the l.. K. S.
system over the present arrange
ments and argued that the need
for the immediate installation of
a sanitary system that would
eliminate the dangerous condi-
tions now existing demanded the
quickest possible action on the
part of the town authorities.
Under the arrangement made
with the Cement Products Com
pany work will begin at once and
the completion Of the system all
over town is promised within
sixty days. The cost Of Install
ing the system is to be paid for
by each property owner involved,
but arrangements have been
made to allow payments to be
made in instaIlments spread over
a twelve months period from the
date of completion of installa-
ton. The system will cost be-
tween eight and nine thousand
dollars.

CHARTER CLOSES JULY l

Have largest lodge in COM

organization and members still
coming in. Free moving picture
show of Mooseheart and lecture
to be given soon.
The charter Of Roanoke Rapids
Lodge No. 1884, Loyal Order of
Moose will close on July 81.
This means that after that time
the initiation fee will be raised
to the customary charge of ter
dollars. 1t is now six dollars
while the charter is opened and
this action will no doubt result
in bringing in many candidates
in the next few weeks.
Already the Roanoke Rapids
lodge of the Loyal Order of
Moose has larger membership
than that of any other order in
the community, 245 moose hav-
ing been obligated into the order
since the campaign started sew
eral weeks ago. So great has
been the success of organization
of the Lodge here that it is now
beyond question that the local
lodge will be strong enough
to erect a building of its own on
Roanoke Avenue in the next
twelve months.
The officers of the Moose in
Roanoke Rapids are w. F. JOY

will be shown of the entire

At the same time there will be a
