The Milford High School Buc-
cites finished their basketball sea-
son with no losses. The Varsity
girls won 13 out of 13 games while
the Junior Varsity won 10 out of
10 making a clean slate for the two
Milford teams.
The Varsity Bucettes scored 65S
points in the 13 games for an aver
age of 507 points per game. Bonnie
Burton led the attack with 262
points for an average of 20 points
per game followed by Captain Reta
Clendaniel with 203 points for an
average of Is points. Any of the
four other forwards, Alice Beebe,
Kay Peterman, Betty Jo Webb. or
Dorcas Tull could be teamed up
with these two to make a strong
attack.
"Scrapper" Carla Mae Jester, a
mainstay in the defensive depart
ment, made it difficult for the op-
posing team to pass the ball across
the center lines. If by chance the
ball passed Carla Mae. any two
some made up of Lois Deputy, Pat
ThistleWOOd, Janet Kern or Fave
Towers, was ready to defend the
basket. The height of Barbara
Strahle gave any opposing forward
a problem in shooting, as well as
recovering the rebounds. Lois or
Patsy were most often found on
the court for the third of the trio.
Lois, a steady player, was depend
able in keeping her forward COW
cred while the more aggressive
Patsy let few balls go by.
Out of their 13 games, in only
one did the girls allow a team to
come within two points. This con-
test was with Dover. The game
ended, tied 51-51. The Senators"
dumped four points to begin the
overtime period but the determined
Bucettes came from behind to win
by two points, 57-55, in the final
three minutes. The attack was led
by Bonnie Burton with Al points.
However, in the second meeting
Of the two teams, the Bucettes
trounced the Senator'S, 51-27.
In the last half of the season
no team scored more than % points
against Milford.

Seniors Receive Guidance

March IL and 12 two counselors
Of the Wilmington branch of the
Delaware State Employment Off
ice, Miss C. Virginia Kelly. and
Miss Margaret Seitz, came to Mil
ford High School to interview
each senior personally. The pur-
pose of these interviews was to
tell the seniors the results Of the
aptitude test taken earlier in the
year. From these tests Miss Kelly
and Miss Seitz were able to tell
the seniors the work best-suited
for them.
After graduation, If the seniors
can't find a job, the Wilmington
branch OF the Delaware State En-
ployment Office will find them a
suitable job.
The senior class of "54" wish to
extend it's thanks to Miss Kelly
and Miss Seitz for their interest
in taking time to perform these
personal interviews.

Me Varsity record.

The Junior Varsity, not to be
outdone by the Varsity, followed
with the same pace in their 10
games. The younger team scored
$40 points for an average of "a
points per game, with Ruthie Tull
dumping 109 points for an average
OF II points per game. Like the
Varsity, any combination of Jean
Jaquette, CarOle Kimmel. Rhea
Ireland or Priscille McGee with
Ruthie proved to be the team that
came out on top.
On the other half OF the floor.
guards Betty Grier, Roma Lee Pos
ties, Carolyn Horney or Sylvia
Deputy were seen most often. They
had Carolyn Horney to cover any
tall forward while Betty, Roma Lee
and Sylvia were the scrappers who
seemed to consistently steal the
ball from the opponents. Bev
Thawley, Joyce Bunting and Vir-
ginia Greene were ready to take
over vacant position on a mom-
ents notice and do just as well al

ent's basket
The Junior Varsity's closest con-
test was Seaford when the team
finished just one point ahead. Be

Hit Parade

Eddie Fisher as he picks Np the
mike and croOns "I'm Just
Vagabond Lover, an old Rudy
Vallee recording. Eddie sings a re-
vised version for r. C. A. Victor
which is pretty good but probably
won't be hit One reason is that
now the market is flooded with
Fisher recordings and there are
some better than this. Before, anv-
thing Eddie recorded was a hit be-
cause his releases were few and
far between.
Eddie also sings the sidekick.
Just to be With YOU. It brings
you a new Eddie Fisher. The beYt
Of the recording is a little peppier
than that on most Of his past rec
ords. Let's hope this new Eddie
won't last too long. The record
doesn't seem to do anything for
him, it's not his type Of song.
Listening to the words, it sounds
like a travelogue and diary.

Scott Calls
or Research
In Tobacco

Senatorial Candidate w. Kerr
Scott this week called for increas-
ed and continuing research to un-
derstand and whip the lung cancer
scare that today threatens North
Cardinals tremendous tobacco in
dustry.
Science has discounted the
dangers in some diseases, and is
winning the fight against others,
such as tuberculosis, polio, and
heart ailments" Scott said.
II think all this loose talk about
lung cancer is unfair to the to-
bacco industry; but, if scientific
fact proves beyond dispute that
tobacco is related to lung cancer,
then l am sure we can depend
upon basic scientific research to
remove whatever undesirable
qualities may be found" he said.
The former Governor was the
principal speaker at the dedica-
ton of new addition to the East
ern North Carolina tuberculosis
Hospital, at Wilson, on Wednesday.
The addition, a 40-bed unit, was
named in his honor. Participating
in the program were members of
the Board of Directors of the n.
c. tuberculosis SanatoriumS. with
one, Mrs. Roy Parker, of AhoSkic,
introducing Mr. Scott.
For all practical purposes. Sci
ence has either overcome or got
control of most diseases that con-
front man." Scott said. stepped
up research is winning the fight
against big killers, and continuing
research programs seem TO keep
us at least abreast of other threats.
Because of what tobacco means 10
us in North Carolina, particularly.
we in this State should be very
concerned about combating the
lung cancer program"
Tobacco accounts for 81 per cent
of North Cardinals annual farm
income, Scott said.
He called upon all persons in
the induStry-farmers, Warehouse
men, manufacturers work to-
gether in putting into effect more
research, along with research pro-
grams of the State and Federal
governments. If these aren't ade-
quate, we should, of course. speed
up research in the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture"

THIS is THE LAW

which nothing is paid).
The law requires that a deed of
GIN be recorded within "two years
from the date of its execution. A"
The term execution" includes de-
livery of the deed to the grantee.
VINO Is the person to whom title to
the property passes. A deed of gift
may be perfectly good when exc
cuted and may pass title to the
grantee, but if such deed is not re-
corded within two years from the
date OF execution, it becomes void
and title to the property conveyed
by the deed goes back to the grant
orS in the deed, or to their heirs.
A PROTECTIVE LAW
The law which provides for this
reversion of title may seem a harsh
one, but 1t was enacted to prevent
greater evils. For example, look at
the case Of man who had four
children and decided to convey to
each of them tract of land. Prior
10 the time of delivery of the
DEEDS, daughter became seriously
Ill and 1t was not known whether
she would ever recover. So the
father decided to retain the deeds
until the condition of her health
was known, having in mind that
he might need to retain the prop
erty to care for the sick daughter
If her illness continued. The father
died without ever having delivered
any OF the deeds. An INSCRIPTIONS
son knew where the deeds were
Kept and destroyed all of them

RECORDING DEEDS

In order to protect the purchas-
ers OF real property, the State OF
North Carolina has provided in
each Of its counties an official
known as the Register of Deeds
whose duties include the recorda-
lion OF deeds conveying real prom
erty. Safety in the purchase of real
estate depends largely on the
prompt and proper recordation of
deeds. vi
II is entirely possible that a deed
winch is valid in all respects NJ
.he time it is signed and delivered
10 the grantee may later become
Void because it is not recorded in
apt time in the office of the Reg
iSter OF Deeds in the county where
the land is located. Such a deed

However, all factors are weigh
ed very carefully in cases where
several widows file claims

attempting to establish claims
to pension through the courts
can save themselves time and
money by simply filing claim

receive the pension. Even though
a widow may take the issue to

RECORDING IMPORTANT

Whether a deed is delivered as
gift or for value received, it is
important that it be recorded by
the Register of Deeds in the county
where the land lies if the grantee
is to protect his title If the purch-
aSer fails to record his decd, the
seller may convey the same land
to Il second purchaser, and if the
second records his deed first. the
property becomes his.
On the other hand. if the purch-
aSer fails to record his deed and a
creditor of the seller places a
judgment on the record against
the seller, the judgment attaches
to the land of the purchaser, and
this land may be sold to satisfy
the judgment.
Often buyer ncglcctS to record
his deed because he fcllS that the
seller is so wealthy that no actual
| risk exists. The depression of the
thirtics taught us that few men are
beyond becoming inSolvent since
most businesses are operated on a
credit basis.
In addition, recent tax cases
have shown that some men of ap-
parent wealth have accumulated
money through failure to declare
and pay their income taxes. In
such event the federal government
files tax lien and this lien at
taches to the property conveyed
| by unrecorded deeds.
CHECK THE RECORD
In examining the title to real
property, the attorney checks the
record of the seller until the date
the deed from his is recorded, re-
gardleSs of the date that it was
written and signed. He determines
whether every deed or other in
strumcnt affecting the title to the
property has been properly drawn
and recorded within the time re-
quircd by law. Upon determining
that the title is clear, your deed
should be recorded so that no act
by any other person may there
after cucumber the title to the
property purchased. The recorda-
ton of your deed also protects
your title in the event of loss of
the original deed.

except the one conveying a tract
Of land to himself. He thereby
gained for himself the title to the
land described in the deed and an
equal share in his fathers remain
ing property, unless the remainder
was apportioned by will. Then this
son claimed that the father deliv-
cred the deed to him and fabricat-
ed some excuse for having kept
the matter secret from the other
children. II such excuse seemed
reasonable, few juries would be
likely to set the deed aside unless
the other children could prove that
the deed was not delivered. But il

the deed was delivered at a date

himself out of court and out of
the tract of land described in the
