Kitty Hawk.-In three overtime
periods, Kitty Hawk girls basket
ball team defeated Griggs girls,
Jan. 8, by one point. By doing so
they routed jinx that has follow
ed them two full seasons.
The boys weren't so successful,
losing to Griggs sos.
The girls score started off with
the first score, on a free throw,
made by Kitty Hawk. Up to the
half, however, Griggs led most of
the time. In the third quarter,
Coach William Miller sent in Clara
Faye Haywood, center forward,
who accounted for IA points. From
then on the game was a seesaw,
with a tie at the end of the fourth
quarter and at the end of two sue
ceeding overtime periods. 1t end
ed with Kitty Hawk holding the
edge for a 1898 victory, the first
game they have won in two sea-
sons.
High scorer for Kitty Hawk was
Norma Spruill, with 16 points, with
Clara Faye Haywood runner-up
with IA.
The schedule for the rest of the
season:
Jan. 16-Camden there.
Jan. 20-Moyock here.

MARRIAGE LICENSE
BUSINESS is SLOW
FOR DARE COUNTY

Not single marriage license
had been issued in Dare county
this year up to Jan. 10, and only
one marriage license was issued
in December.
This is not because Cupid has
overlooked Dare county, but is
due to the fact that since pro-
spective brides and grooms have
to go elsewhere to secure their
blood tests they generally 90 a.
head and get their marriage Ii
censeS in the other county. Some
of them go to Currituck county,
more to Pasquotank and many
to Norfolk, Va.
This situation probably will
be remedied by February, when
DR.. c. R. Brown qualities to give
the blood tests required before
amarriage license can be secur-
ed. Before he is approved for
this service, he has to make a
certain number of blood tests
which will be checked with the
states tests of the same blood.
He has already made part of the
tests.

worker with grievance may take,
and pledged their full cooperation
in the solution Of any issue. The
worker in question reports that
relations are smoothed out and
quite satisfactory working condi-
tions exist. This opened the door to
greater activity toward placement
there.
Many other establishments are
in various stages of development
with plans for more integration of
Negro workers, and the summer
has been a period of some marked
progress with nearly all of them.
Hardly a business or industry in
Phoenix is omitted in this state
ment.
A list of the types of persons
placed this year might be of value.
They follow: / yard man, ship
ping clerks, 1 swatch paster, 2 GUS
todians, practical nurse, 2 eleva-
tor operators, / insurance agent, 2
laundry pressers, 1 probation Off
GER, stenographer, 1 metal press
operator, 1 welder, switchboard
operator, 2 laundry workers, i
stenographer saleslady, 3 spray
painters, domestics, 1 extrusion
operator (aluminunD, % ware
,housemen, 5 cab drivers, 6 car
washers, l stock clerk, and 1recep-
toinist-stenographer. The signifi-
cant fact about these placements is
that II of these are jobs held by
Negroes for the first time. 1t is al
SO interesting to note that only II
placements were made in 1852, of
which 6 were "firsts."
TRAINING-Looking forward to
greater employment as cashiers,
the League has selected 10 wom-
