Injured Marines
Moved To Norfolk

Roanoke Rapids Hospital au-
thorities said here today that
the six Marines admitted to the
hospital following an early
morning highway crash between
Garysburg and Pleasant Hill
we're removed by ambulance
yesterday to the naval hospital
in Norfolk, Va.
The six men, all of whom
were stationed at Camp Lejeune,
sustained injuries when the car
in which they were returning
to camp after a Thanksgiving
furlough in northern states skid
ded on the wet pavement on
highway 30l and struck the side
of an underpass.
They were brought to the To-
cal hospital in ambulances
from the Rowe Funeral Home
of Weldon and the Wrenn Fun
eral Home of Roanoke Rapids
and all were admitted for treat
ment. Hospital officials said all
were painfully injured, but none
Of the six were considered to be
in critical condition.
A Marine officer from Camp
Lejeune arrived yesterday to
consult with local doctors about
having the men moved, and
he sent to Norfolk for service
ambulances to take the men to
the Norfolk hospital for further
treatment.

Rocky Mount-H, L. Terry,
District Five Forester, has an
nounced that Halifax County's
forest fire-fighting equipment
has been greatly improved rec
emily by the addition of a Pan
ANA pump which is operated by
the engine of the forest warden S
truck.
Halifax County Forest Warden
said the most important factor
in preventing fires in the 1879,
523 acres of Halifax County wood
land is the human factor, how
ever. He said fire-fighting equip
ment would not be needed if it
were not for carelessness of peo-
pie in forest areas.
Lawrence pointed out that so
far this year there have been
% fires reported, fires which bur
ned over 1852 acres of forest land
causing damage estimated at
S7l4.0O. He said over half the
fires were caused by brush bur
ming and about 80 per cent were
caused by smokers.
The fire warden said the addi-
ton Of the Panama pump to
the country's present equipment
should be of great value to the
foresters in putting down fires.
He described it as a small vol
ume pump when used at idling
speeds, however by increasing
the speed of the truck motor the
pumping capacity of the pump
can be raised to IS gallons per
minute.
The pump itself is a rotary
gear type and is mounted under
meath the hood of the truck. At
idling speeds the pump will sup
ply water from the litigation,
tank carried by the truck for a.
bout 40 minutes. At high speeds
the pump will exhaust the water
supply in about five minutes.
In six minutes the tank mount
ed on the fire-fighting truck can
be refilled from any convenient
stream by dropping the suction
line into the stream. The fores-
ter said that where conditions of
roads or terrain are such that
the truck itself cannot be used
directly where the fires are To-
Gated, the Panama pump can
be utilized to fill five-gallon
Smith Indian pumps which can
be carried on the backs of the
men fighting the fire.
In addition to the new Panama
pump, the Halifax County forest
service now has 40 of the Smith
Indian pumps a number of fire
rakes, fire swatters, axes and
shovels.
At present there are 10 district
fire wardens in the county and
two fire towers, one located at
Moonlight on highway 125 near
Scotland Neck and the other at
Lyles in the northern end of the
county. A third tower is now
being built at Medoc Mountain
near Ringwood.
During the season of the year
when forest fires are most likely
to occur the towers are manned
daily by wardens, and regular
nighttime checks are made al
ten o'clock. The fire seasons
usually in the late fall and in the
spring. vary with the amount o1

The happy smiles on that kids
face!
There are some of the reasons
we are sure these children would
welcome any old broken toy that
has been discarded and thrown
aside. They have so little and
appreciate so much even the
smallest gift.
Recently we went out in the
country to see German family
with four children. OF course,
when we drove up in our
American car every child who
lived nearby came rushing over
to see it. We had no chocolate
bars to give them, so we packed
the whole bunch Of about ~
into the car and took them for
a short ride. When we came
back to chat awhile the chill
dren all disappeared. Then as
we got ready to say goodbye,
the children began popping up
from all directions. Each one had
picked a bunch of wild flowers
for us. Before we left we prom
ised to bring them big vol
ley ball the following week. The
happy smiles on the faces Of
those children when we return
ed with the ball were thanks
enough
We are not used to asking for
things, not even when it is for
others. So we, perhaps, have eX-
planned things rather badly. We
feel, however, that our town can
help a lot toward bringing peace
to the world by sending more
than Just troops to German. If
we can send little kindness,
it may help lot.

District Forester Terry said,
"Regardless of the amount of
equipment we have available, the
single most important thing in
controlling forest fires is the
citizens of Halifax County, All
% of the fires reported thus far
during 1948 were man-caused,
and. consequently, all % fires
could have been prevented had
the people responsible been more
careful. We want everyone to do
his part in whatever he can to
keep Halifax County green.

FOOTBALL

The Hagerstown Hubs wound up
their season with the annual Thanks
giving game against Waynesboro
High School, and although they lost
the game, they gave good account
of themselves. As a matter of fact,
the score would have been quite
different if the boys had been able
to work out a defense against
Waynesboro's end runs.
The Waynesboro boys pulled this
wide end run around the left side
of Hagerstown's line at least five or
six times, and although the play was
perfectly obvious each time it was
started, our boys were unable to
stop it.
In my book, if Army had played
the football schedule that Navy
played, they certainly would never
be one of the unbeaten teams, and
in Saturdays game, which was
fortunate enough to see over tele-
vision, Navy was far the better
team, and you can't get over the
fact that Army was unable to score
one first down during the entire
first quarter.
Perhaps the best summation of
that classic 21-21 tie on Saturday
afternoon was given by Jesse A.
Linthicum, sports editor of the Bal
timore Sun, who stated that it was
a case of the Army, who had been
running in claiming races all sea-
son, being suddenly stepped up in
company into an allowance race,
while the Navy, who had been in
nothing else but allowance races,
was suddenly dropped down into a
claiming race.
In the professional ranks, the
Philadelphia Eagles have won the
National Football League Cham
pionship in the Eastern division, and
they will play either the Chicago
Bears or the Chicago Cardinals in
the play-offs, while in the All-Amer-
lean Conference, the Cleveland
Browns have won the Western di-
vision title and will play the win
ners of next Saturdays game be-
tween Brooklyn and the Baltimore
Colts, in their play-offs.
The Maryland Terrapins, who
started out the season in fine shape,
never seemed to recover from the
licking they took from North Caro-
lima, and they wound up their 1913
season with another defeat on Sat-
urday, when the West Virginia
Mountaineers came from behind in
the final quarter to win.
However, with the reinforcements
that Jim Tatum will get from the
Plebes next year, it looks as if
the University will have a much
stronger team. Here's hoping so,
anyway.
