Blake Watts. Walter Gooch, Ken McCutchinson and Georgf Fleming flitted in and out between the David- sonians all night in racking up their tallies. With the state championship relay team in the backfield the boys from P.C. proved to be too fast for the slower-moving Wildcats. The only way Davidson could get anywhere against the improved Blue Hose was to take to the air but even the arial attempts failed to bring vic tory for the Wildcats. On the sadder side of the sports scene the Golden Gophers from Thornwell were up-rooted by the Laurnes Tigers with a 26 to 6 score High School Upsets York The Clinton Red Devils went to York with an undefeated record be hind them found that the York Green Dragons had the same record the Red Devils had. The Red Devils got busy and carved a 26 to 6 victory out on their victory tree and snapped York’s winning spree. York got the jump on Clinton and scored in the first quarter to put the Devils behind for the first time this year. Not to be outdone, Clin ton took the kickoff after York’s score and began manufacturing their own tallies. A pass from Richard Hampton to Herbert Fallaw povered 40 yards and set up a touchdown play which Earl McElhannon execut ed from the five yard line. Clinton went ahead 7 to 6 on Hampton’s con version. In the second quarter Curtis Free man set up his own touchdown by reeling off a 40 yard run after Rich ard Hampton had executed a 40 yard punt return. Freeman went over from the five yard marker. Hampton put his team ahead It to 6 by splitting the posts with his extra point kick. In the fourth quarter the Clinton eleven struck hard and fast for two touchdowns. The first T. D. came when Hampton trotted off 20 yards before the York boys knew he had the ball. The next tally was racked up by Johnny “Buck” Davis after Tommy Rowe had recovered the ball on the kickoff and Curtis Freeman and Alvin Nabors had taken the b ail to the three yard line. Richard Hampton made a perfect night of it as he kicked his fourth good conversion in four attempts. Thornwell Downed by Laurens 26 to 7 Thornwell stepped out of their class this past week and were justly put back when the Tigers from Laurens overruled them 26 to 6. The improved Laurens Tigers had trouble with Thornwell’s Wheeler and BuTlman, on offense, and Wade Lucas on defense. “Bootsie” Cox boosted the Laurens team and is thought to be Clinton’s biggest threat to going undefeated.

National Newspapers Week is in- 1 tended to create a better understand- • inc between publishers and readers, to draw them closer together. It is! not a promotional, commercial event designed to sell circulation or more advertising. It is just as important to you, the reader, as it is to us. A newspaper which distorts its news and editorial columns is not worthy of support and respect' of its read ers It is not the business of newspapers to make demands on readers. It is their job first and last to serve read ers. Nothing any newspaper prints is of the slightest value until it is read and enters into th*e thinking of the reader. Ours therefore, is a de finite responsibility to our readers. | Our first concern always is to dis- charge that responsibility and to hold • your good-will and confidence by giv- ' mg you a clean home newspaper, complete, newsy and reliable. — • you could possibly mike out a even if you ran it right insteoi the way he told you to.

When the war came on and Pr h Oh whole nation was at hign tension pre paring ta win the conflict a*, the cost of multiplied billion* of dollars, we became over-organized. There were so many alphabetical agencies that not one person out of a th vusand 1 could start to name them or give at reason for their existence or cite their 1 duties. And the war ended four years; ago. but there is still a great bureau- j cracy in Washington that doesn’t act' as though it knows we are living inj a peacetime period. Many of these words, as cited by Mr. Clayton, are still used, but they carry little mean ing. They Should be abolished in Washington because they are ridicu lous. A business man, whether he is attempting to operate a small or larga enterprise, doesn’t need a so-called “efficiency expert” to tell him what to do. Most of them are like parents with no children trying to tell other parents how to raise their children. We don’t think much of these Wash ington definitions. Neither do you. 1 Monday, Oct 10th.
