Carmel News Ninety Six Takes Both Games At De la Howe Ninety Six took both games with De la Howe in a double ^ader on De la Howe court Fri day night. Some five hundred fans saw two crack De la Howe teams go down in defeat before the powerful, well coached teams from Ninety Six. The De la Howe girls took an early lead and held it throughout the first half but were unable to cope with the championship form shown by Ninety Six girls in second half. The final score was 31-17. The boys’ game was a nip and tuck affair throughout the first three periods of the game, the the score being 12-11 in favor of Ninety Six at the end of the third quarter. The De la Howe boys broke at this point and Ninety Six rang up 13 points in the 4th quarter to win 25-14. It looks like a State champion ship for Ninety Six girls again this year.

Plans Associational En largement Campaign At a meeting Friday evening, December 30, of the Executive Committee of the AbbeVille Asso ciational B. T. U., which was held at the homer of Rev. J. A. Hunni- cutt in South Greenwood, definite plans were made for an Associa tional Enlargement Campaign which, it was decided, would be held February 27 through March 4. The committee was fortunate in having as its guest Mr. Boyd Horton of the State Department who assisted greatly in making these plans. Each pastor in the association will be contacted by some member of the committee before February to ascertain whether or not his church will cooperate in this cam paign, and if so, just what courses he would like to have offered. Mr. Horton assured the committee that State workers would be a- vailable for any church desiring their services. It was also decided to request each pastor to take a free will offering in his church some Sun day before this date, the offering to be used to assist in defraying expense of the campaign. Plans were also made for an associational rally to be held on Sunday, March 5, as a concluding feature of the campaign. It is hoped that each pastor and B. T. U. Director in the asso ciation will bear this in mind and be ready to pledge whole-hearted cooperation when visited by a. member of this committee.
