Buck Childs' home has become
mighty popular ever since he got
that television set-one of the few
sets in our town, outside of Andy's
Garden Tavern.
Not only do the kids stay home
nights, but the neighbors drop in
to see whatever's being telecast.
And Buck and the missus always
make them welcome, with a mellow
glass of beer or ale with cider and
cookies for the youngsters).
While I guess everyone admits
that television still has far to go,

traditional )ackeWedon Contest Will End the Go Season Here Toit
Jackets Given
Edge; Both
Squads Ready

The curtain will be rung down
on another local football season
here tonight at eight o'clock
when the Roanoke Rapids High
School Yellow Jackets play hosts
to their next-door neighbors and
traditional rivals from Weldon
High School at Simmon Park.
The game. originally schedul-
ed for this date, was changed to
a pre-Thanksgiving clash several
weeks ago but plans were chang
ed Wednesday morning again
when heavy rains made the park
almost entirely unfit for any
game.
Both football squads will be in
action tonight for the first time
in two weeks when the whistle
sounds for the opening kickoff.
Last week the Jackets were slat-
ed to play the Tarboro Tigers
on the Tarboro field and Weldon
had a game with Norlina sche-
duled in Roanoke Rapids, how
ever both games were cancelled
because of the same heavy rains
which started over the weekend
and continued through the first
part of this week.
Prospect for tonight is a game
played on cold, slightly damp
field, with the Jackets a S
favorites to win the tilt because
of weight advantage and the fact
they have played heavier
schedule than the smaller We'll
don squad coached by Jesse
Parker
Coach Dan eagle and Parker
will both face the prospect of
interrupting their squads
Thanksgiving vacation to get
them into action again after a
layout, however both squads will
have the same situation.
Weldon fans have been whoop-
ing it up for an upset over the
underdog team turning over
the Roanoke Rapids fruit basket
should bring out a flock of in
terested fans.
The postponement of the game
until tonight will make the con-
test the climax to Roanoke Rap
ids Christmas Opening celebra-
ton and parade.
Both the Roanoke Rapids and
Weldon teams are expected to
be at full strength for tonight,
with both coaches saying the
boys on the teams are in good
physical condition after a two
weeks vacation from competi-
ton. Neither squad has had
the opportunity to get much prac-
tice since their last games, but
both are expected to turn on
their full power tonight in what
will be the last football game of
1948 on local gridirons.
