POLARINES SUCCUMBS TO-
ROSEMARY Y-ROANoKE RAPIDS

1t took the locals only one hour
and twenty five minutes to send
the strong Polarire team to the
dug-out in last Saturdays game
Go. The game was featured with
many thrills and the fans receiv-
ed their moneys worth. The first
inning looked pretty bad for the
home club when the first ball
Brown pitched was grounded to
third and CREASED" right thru
Hoggards legs, the second batter
was safe on another error and
both advanced on a pass ball. Sa-
Ter then slammed one to the right
field wall scoring two men. Brown
settled down and famed the next
two batters and the third was an
easy out. The locals in their part
Of the first succeeded in leaving
three men stranded on the bases
The Polarines scored again in the
third and in the fourth which
brought their total up to five.
The Roanoke-R Rosemary outfit
then brought in one run in the
fourth ard a second in the fifth.
There was no more scoring on
either side until the seventh al
tho the locals always left two or
three men to die on the bases for
lack of the necessary punch to
score.
The young south paw of the
Polarines met his Waterloo in the
seventh when a balloon went
floating high in the air and did
not come down until the home
team had swatted the pill for
four runs. Caused by four hits,
two wild pitches and fast base
running. The vifitors made a
strong attempt to score but did
not succeed in getting their rum
ner any further than third. After
the third inning Brown pitched
steady ball and the opposition
could not bunch their hits. Still
he outpitched his opponent who
allowed ten hits to Browns eight.
The home boys did not show up
in their usual form and especially
the work of Speed, yet every
player has an off day. Brown was
the feature of the day not being
satisfied with pitching steady
ball this left handler slammed
out three hits and began the run
getting in every inning at bat
The Polarines played an excep-
tionally strong defensive game
and their smooth infeld work
was note worthy. Zollicoffer on
first for Rosemary-Roa Rap
ids played a brilliant game and
but for this tall fellows steady
playing a different tale might be
told.

COMMUNITY SERVICE AND
VISUAL INSTRUCTION

The four main heads of Com
munity Service are Community
Organization, County Progress
Films, Junior Citizenship and
The Organized Playground. The
work will be conducted in ten
schools in the county. A gener-
al form of Community Organiza-
ton is set up in each of these
communities. Under this plan of
combining the moving picture
service with the community or
ganization work each is greatly
strengthened. Each program is
made up of six reels, two of
which treat dramatic subjects,
two treat subjects of purely
educational value, and two are
good, clean comedy. =,
A county progress" film will
be made. This is an attempt to
visualize the state of progress
in the county, kind of pictorial
survey of the county. 1t shows
both the best and the poorest
schools, homes, farms, roads,
livestock, etc., together with the
characteristic activities of the
people. When a county progress
film has been used in the county
in which it was produced. it is
sent to the other eighteen
counties who have Community
Service, and will finally be filed
in the permanent library in
Raleigh for future reference.
Probably the most vital and
far-reaching work undertaken
by the county directors Of Com
munity Service is that having to
do with the Junior citizens of
both sexes. In each of the Gen.
ters the county director takes a
volunteer group of boys and
girls of the seventh and eighth
grades and carries them through
certain tests. To measure the re-
suits in terms of fitness for
citizenship four different sets of
tests have been adopted as fol.
lows: tests for
l. Physical Fitness.
2. intellectual Fitness.
3. Vocational Fitness.
4 Social Fitness.
When a boy or girl has salts
factorily passed all these tests he
is given a certificate of Junior
Citizenship bearing the great
seal of the State and the sigma
ture of the Governor, the State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, the County Superintendent
of Public Instruction and the Di-
rectorof Community Service. This
has been found a most definite
and practical scheme of inducing
boys and girls to strive to take
full advantage of the opportuni-
ties a generous public is provid-
ing 1t gets them somewhere and
marks the place.
The organized playground is
most helpful to the children.
Health and singing games are
taught, also relayraces and tests
are given'in running, jumping,
chinning etc.
Miss Mary Washburn, of Ra-
leigh, is director of Community
Service work in Halifax County.
She is well fitted for this work
having had special training at the
University of North Carolina
University Of Chicago and Colum
pia University. Mr.. John Gran
we'll, Of Roanoke Rapids, is the
mechanic.

Three Day Session at Halifax This
Week.

Following the plan inaugurated
two years ago by Prof. A. E.

earnest and efficient workers for
better education for the children
Of Halifax County, held a very
instructive teachers con ference
at Halifax Tuesday, Wednesday

partment Roanoke Rapids Public

as instructors of the rural child

OrIuln Of the Jazz Band.

The jazz band idea. according to q
French paper, originated In the time
of the Directory. At the concerts Of
the Cat orchestra were twenty cats,
heads In row on the keyboard Of q
harpsichord. The performer by strik-
ing the keys pulled the cats tails,
causing a caterwauling which sounded
like a jazz band.
