CHERRY RECOUNTS
BLIND, DEAF HELP

RALEIGH. Ian. 23.-(P)-On the
occasion of t.. : centennial celebra-
ton of the State school for the
blind and deaf, Governor Cherry
tonight traced the history of North
Carolina aid to the inmates of
the institution and called attention
to the fact that the appropriation
has grown from $4,000 in 1845, to
approximately $780, 1000 which the
State now appropriates annually,
For one hundred years North
Carolina has definitely made con-
tributions for her blind citizens, .
Governor Cherry said. Referring to
the States current appropriation OF
a quarter million dollars for the
prevention and correction of the
blind and for the education and
training of those whose eyesight
cannot be improved, he said this
amount "does not include funds for
vocational rehabilitation and aid
to the blind, most of which is furn-
ished by the Federal Government. -
He said the State through the
years has made definite progress
in caring for her unfortunate citi-
zens, but he saw an even greater
problem for the State during the
postwar period.

board but applicants must show

Suggesting Misunderstanding, in
sulating and the closing off of
unused rooms as possible means Of
conserving heat, the official said
that the board would probably re-
ceive more applications this winter
than last because of the drastic
cut in allowances scarcity OF the
commodity has caused.
Hardship rations may be OBJ
tanned by persons who have used
their quota of fuel oil but they
must sho won their applications

Scoreboard Mis-tallies
'Cats As Winners;
Causes Re-check "

FAYETTEVILLE, Jan. 23.-Wil-
mington's undaunted Wildcats lost
their hardest match here tonight
to an evenly matched Fayetteville
High School aggregation 37-35, with
the two winning points going to
the Bulldogs on two well-placed
foul shots in a three-minute over
time period, by Lebed, forward.
Controversy arose at the end OF
the thrilling game, when the score
board showed that Wilmington had
won, $685. but a re-check of the
books tailed a tied score at 1886,
calling for an overtime period.
Taking high scoring honors for
Wilmington was the Wildcats star
center, Billy Mason. who tailed IS
points. He was trailed by Jim
Groom, who netted 10. The Mason
brothers, Billy center. and Carl,
forward accounted for II of Will
mington's points.
Leading scorer for the Bulldogs
was johnson with II.
The score at the end of the first
quarter was tied at Gall, and at
the end of the second period the
Wildcats had snagged two-point
lead over Fayetteville. The score
was 17-15.
The Cats also led at the end Of
the third quarter, when the score
board read 1882, and the last
point was not discovered until af-
ter the final whistle when the board
showed tie of 35.
This was Wilmington's fourth
conference loss this season, and
Fayetteville's second conference
victory.
The Bulldogs defeated the Colds
boro Winds two weeks ago, and
the final tally was 39-30-the same
team which defeated the New Han

Officially in charge again al

his post early in 1912 refused
to be either optimistic OF pessi-
mistic about the coming season.
