Although the basketball sea-
son is just getting into full swing
the Tabor City High School
teams have a promising record.
Through last week, their op-
onents had been county teams
but now the conference battle
has begun. Let's review the Red
Devil and DeviletteS and look al
their possibilities.
The Devilettss, who are de-
Tending their County Champ
ionship title, have lost only one
game whica was an overtime
battle with Clarkton. After three
extra minutes of play, the score
;yas 4s-4a.
They have had victories over
Evergreen, Chadbourn, Lumb-
erton, Whiteville, Dunn and two
wins over Nakina. The Devil
cites have averaged 80 points
per game against their oppon-
entS 20 points. Leading scorers
this season are Junior Willaree
Norris and Senior Shirley Nor
ris woo have averages IA and 10
points, respectively.
~ Tabor City lost one of its
most valuable players, Bette
GaSkin, TO Mr.. Cupid. Betty is
remembered for the outstand-
ing work she did last year at the
guard slot but she switched to
forward this season and garner
ed % points in single game.
Jane Smith hasn't seen much
action this year due to illness
but she will probably return to
Sac lineup before long.
Tabor City's forwards deserve
much credit for their oustand-
ing work making the points but
there is another secret that has
helped set the I'll record.
t IS the strong defensive unit

One thing can be said is that

AGENTS REQUIRED
TO MAKE REPORT

In the Convention, which convenes
during the latter part of July, each
agent will be required to make an
annual report, The AGENTS h a e
twelve months, or fifty-two weeks
or three hundred and sixty five days
in which to work, and I do think in
this period that an agent should be
able to do something tangible.
If you will listen as the reports
are being made. that the same agents
are the ones who are active We
had . meeting with all Of the agents
last year and we had tne feeling that
they all were going home and begin
TO do some constructive work. II
they do not work and work in a

IMPORTANT NOTICE
All H. B. A. S Must
Pay Home Dues

News has come to the office that
some of the lodges in certain sections
of our fair State are not collecting
home dues from some Of their mem
bers. We cannot say that this is
a fact because we have not visited
these lodges to see as to whether
it is the truth or net, however, we
do want to emphasize the fact that
no lodge in the Association is per-
mitted to carry members on the
membership roll without collecting
home dues from said members. If
and when it is found that any Presi-
dent is permitting this procedure to
take place in his local lodge, this
President is subject to a fine and
suspension. All of the Presidents
in the Association know that the
Constitution provides that in order
to be a bonified member of the AS
soclatlon, you must pay home dues
Presidents have reported to the
office that their members are
registering complaints to the effect
that they are required to pay dues
and there are other local lodges that
are not paying any dues. If this is
happening it is certainly a violation
of the constitution under which We
operate and if it is found to be true
that president will be fined and sus
/ pended.
The echo., 1956-07-15
PREPARE NOW TO
SEND SECRETARY

Sometime ago I made an appeal to
the local lodges to send their score
tary to the Convention. We are de
sirous of holding a meeting with all
of the local secretaries and we do
think that the Convention will be the
opportune time. The lodge has time
to begin raising some extra funds
whereby to send the secretary to the
Convention. This will help the sec
retary in particular and the local
lodge in general. The better pre-
pared the secretary is the better rec
ords she will be able to keep for the
lodge. We know all of the lodges
desire to make progress and we are
going to determine this by those of
you who send your secretary.
