Gymnasium.
The Broves were paced by their
six foot center and pivot man, Ril-
ey Williams, who racked up II
points to lead his team to victory.
1t was Williams who drew the
first blood in the first minute of
the game when he jumpedss high
from pivot position at the free
throw line and sank one for the
initial field goal.
II. was almost hall time before
the Dilard Five found the range
of the basket. but alweys with a
good fast passing attack they kept
the Alcorn fans on edge. The half
ended, Braves 20, Dilard 9.
Coming back in the second per-
iod with that do or die spirit, the
billiard team fought the Braves
to a nip and tuck game until the
closing minutes. Carson, the fast
dribbling guard from billiard put
his team wtihing five points of the
Braves. At this point, the Braves
rose up and proved too much for
the visitors as Williams and Moore

giles. At the final whistle the
scores were: Alcorn 38, and billiard

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
Please accept this expression
Of thanks for the complimentary
copy of The Roanoke Rapids
Herald, Sunday, November IA.
containing your editorial on
school finance. I am greatly in
terested in your commencing the
groups that are advocating, in
creased salaries for qualified
teachers of the North Carolina
public schools.
!, too, am concerned about the
future of our schools, and I be-
lieve that every citizen of the
state should acquaint himself
with the present school situation
in regard to several interrelated
and important factors; such as
the grew demand for ,and the
limited supply of qualified tea
chers; the need Of today's youth
for adequate training in citizen
ship, character, health and vo-
cations, in addition to the tradi-
tional three RS; to the means
available for financing a sstis-
factory school system; and to
the value Of = well rounded edu.

Then, armed with such know

ready to demand schools of such
calibers that they will be able
to attract and to keep the kind
of teachers who will be worthy

with the findings and the recon-

THE READERS COURTROOM
BY Will Bernard, LII. B.

(Q) IS 1T LARCENY IF A
LANDLADY "L F T S" HER
BOARDER'S WATCH FOR Sc
CURITY?
(A) While working late one ev-
ening, writer spilled bottle
of ink on the rug of his rented
room, The next day, during his
absence, the landlady discover
ed the stain. To make sure he
would pay for the damage, the
irate woman tJ3k with her a
watch which the writer had left
on the desk. When she refused
to give it back, the lodger had
her arrested for larceny. But the
court found her not guilty, say
ing that she had not taken the
watch with "fclonious intent"
but only as crude way to make
the boardec pay tor the damage.
(Q) MUST YOU PAY DAM
AGES FOR RUNNING OVER A
TURKEY THAI DARTS A
CROSS THE ROAD?
(A) A man took bis family for
a ride in the country one Sum-
day afternoon. just beyond town,
he noticed number of turkeys
on the side of the road, but kept
driving along at the same speed.
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-11-26

Suddenly one turkey darted a.
cross the road, and the man was
unable to avoid running over it.
The turkeys angry owner sued
the motorist, claiming that he
should have slowea down when
approaching the flock. But the
court held that tire farmer could
Mt collect anything. The judge
said it would be unfair to ex-
pect motorist to be constantly
ready to stop his car because
of the sudden whim of an un-
predictable fowl.
(Q) MAY A MOTORIST BE
FINED FOR INNOCENTLY VI
OLATING A TRAFFIC LAW?
(A) A motorist got ticket
for not having his rear stop light
in working order. His story to
the judge was that he honestly
didn't know the light was off.
The judge believed the man S
story--but fined him anyhow!
His Honor pointed out that the
stop-light law didn't make any
distinction between those who vi
olated it innocently and those
who violated u on purpose.
Otherwise, said the judge, it
would be just about impossible
to enforce the law

Pegler Comes To Defense OF Press For Mistake On
Election Prediction And Recalls Some Other Predictions

We turned down his League be-
cause we felt sure that we would
always be running to henhouse
fire in the Balkans with leaky
hose and a celluloid ladder But
we also got plastered on jake
and jumpsteady and, as drunks
will, thought we could lick any
half-dozen you-know-whats in the
house with no more training than
a haircut and shave.
I'm all this time, our nationa-
lism has not diminished but we
have discovered that we can
learn to shoot and march and
fly as well as anyone else when
we put our mind to it. We are
going to enjoy the feel Of being
tough so much that we will keep
in training indefinitely with plen-
ty of divisions, planes, ships and
war industry"
This was sound counsel, but a
miscalculation is readily admit
ted. Led by the Communists a
propaganda began the instant
Hitler died and Russia was safe,
to disband our armies, junk ev-
erything and weaken the United
States. Many homesick, heart
sick Americans of impeccable
patriotism naturally joined this.
And many officers were at griev-
Gus fault in scandalous conduct
overseas. For this combination
of reasons we did not keep in
training indefinitely" and so
forth.
Furthermore" this old pro-
phecy ran, 1--WE will have to keep
tough because if our side wins
that means Russia wins and
there is a nation with no friends,
brothers or confidants. A mys-
terious, mighty giant who will
be showing Communism all over
the place. II we can learn to
be as sirgle-minded and selfish
as Russia about our own nation
al safety we will do very we'll.
And we certainly should learn
to keep our secrets about inven-
