The Worcester County Health As
ISOLATION has completed its member
ship drive and Pocomoke has contri-
buted its share towards this worth
while project. According to a re-
port from the local chairman the
quota of $135 was reached and pass
ed before the drive ended here. The
committee is deeply appreciative of
the splendid response made by indi-
viduals and the cooperation of the
public. The solicitors, too, are CRATE
full for the courtesy shown them. The
fact that Pocomoke has again "gone
over the top" should be a source of
real qualification to the community.
Two fine suppers, to which the pub
lie is cordially invited, are scheduled
for the near future. Both are chick
en- and waffle suppers and both will
be served by the men. The first will
be given in Bethany Methodist
Church Thursday, March 20, begin
ming at $3.50 P. NJ, A, fine menu has
been planned and will be served by
the men if not cooked by them. The
second afafir will be held April 8 at
the new Fire House and will be spon-
sored by the Firemen and the Fire
Auxiliary. Both will be enjoyable af-
fairs and will be well worth attend
ing, so keep the two dates in mind,
March goth and April 3rd and plan
to attend both affairs.

Former High School Grads
Are Not Eligible To Play
Conference Executive Com.
mittee Clamps Down In
Meeting Monday.

At a meeting of the Appala-
chan high school association ex-
ecutive committee, held Monday
night in Boone, another effort was
made to clamp down and prevent
high school graduates from play
ing on members school basketball
teams.
Complaints had been made that
one or more schools in Ashe coun-
ty have been guilty this season
of allowing former graduates to
play. It was pointed out that the
present rule provides that no
graduate as reported to DR.. High
smiths office in Raleigh, is per-
mitted to play.
Members stated that evidently
some principals had purposely or
unpurposely failed to report the
names of certain graduates to the
state department and contended
that this was or should not be
necessary.
After some discussion. ro"0-
luton to become effective next
season was passed, providing that
no student who has received a
diploma or who has met the re-
quirements for high school grad
uation, shall be eligible to play.
Besides being a bad practice,
it is not fair to the regular high
school students to allow gradu-
ates to play" one member stated.

Jefferson, Healing Springs
Girls, w. Jefferson Boys Lead

The West Jefferson boys con-
tinued their winning streak but
are being pushed by the Nathan's
Creek lads, who have only one
loss and five wins to their credit.
Both of these teams should win
tomorrow night when they meet
Elkland and Lansing, respective
ly.
Next Tuesday night West JEFF
ferson and Nathan's Creek meet
and this game SHOULD be a close
one. The winner will be in top
place in the conference for the
moment anyway.
The Jefferson girls spurred on
by Austin are maintaining their
perfect record so far, as is Heal
ing Springs. Unless there is an
upset, Healing Springs should
have little trouble with Fleetwood
tomorrow night; but Virginia.
Carolina may cause the Jefferson
girls some work.
Elkland, which climbed into
third place, meets West jefferson
by whom they were defeated ear
lier in the season. This should be
an interesting game.
