R { D 8 IMPRESS
IN EASTERN
DEBUT

It may seem almost sacrilegiouS
to mention baseball with the gals
cheering, the horses running, and
the mint julipS flowing on Derby
Day in Old Kentucky. But the
fact remains there were couple
of ball games in the majors yester.
day and they are hereby recorded
If only for the record.
The highly touted Reds dropped
into the Polo Grounds for their
initial showing in the East and,
while it is sad to record they were
walloped 9 to 2 by the Giants, 1t
is pleasing to note that they are
just as poppy as advertised and
give every indication of being a
real ball club.
Carl'S Good Day
Unfortunately for Charley
Dressen's young pupils, they had
to stack up against Carl Hubbell
on one of Carl's real good days
and the result was inevitable.
They could get no more than six
hits while the Giants pounded
Benny Frey, Don Brennan and
Leroy Hermann for Is, including
Mel Otis sixth and Joe Moore'S
fourth homer.
The Reds young infield func.
toned smoothly enough but, as
Jim Bottomley said this morn
ing, there are times when even
an old hand like Jim has to
guess what moves Riggs, Myers
or Kampouris may have in mind.
Jim VOWS they are learning
fast and before the season ends
will permit him to boast that he
is the spearhead of the best in
field in the majors.
OFT Serves Notice
OFT served notice that he is still
to be reckoned with in the home
run derby. He led the National
League in this happy speciality last
year and he sees no reason why he
can't repeat.
Over in FlatbuSh, the Dodgers
convinced the Pirates that Brook
lyn is even better than they had
Surmised.
Casey Stengle sent his ace, Van
Mungo to the hill, and the big
Carolinian let the smuggling Pirates
douyp with civ hits two Of which
were punched in one inning for
the Pirates lone run.
Mungo himself won his own
game by driving in the second and
winning run off Jim Weaver in the
seventh.
If the Western teams expect soft
going in the East, they probably
will have to wait until they hit
Philadelphia or Boston to find it.

AN APPEAL TO THE
VOTERS OF ASHE IN
REGARD TO MOVIES

tsEl 80 T
The management of the Jeffer-
sonian Theatre, West Jefferson, N.
c., is proposing a referendum to the
voters Of Ashe county as to wheth-
er or not there shall be Sunday
movies. The result Of this vote is to
be taken, as we understand, to the
Board of Aldermen of West Jeffer-
son.
The notice to voters" as appear
ed last week in the columns of the
Skyland Post propose two alterna-
tiveS:
l. $50 if you would like place of
clean, wholesome entertainment
and enjoyment, vote in the affirma-
tive"
2. eff you would rather have
your children riding around, park
ing and spending their time at
something else, vote in the mega
tive"
There are Christian parents and
others who yet have control over
their children. A great many spend
the afternoons at home or at Sun
day School or church services.
Dozen of Sunday Schools are held
every Sunday afternoon.
We must remember that Sunday
is not the day for entertainment
God did not say Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it jolly" He
did say for all time Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy" That
ought to be sufficient to cause eve
ryone to vote in the negative.
In addition the management can
not guarantee ''clean wholesome
amusement" So few pictures are
decent. There are some-but under
the block system of buying he has
to show what is sent. Surely the
pictures on the bill boards in jeff
erson are not suggestive of COM
munion and fellowship with God.
This is another step to CONNER
cialize Gods day. Of course we
should not impugn his motive-but
we're wondering if it is to be free
or will the regular admission be
charged. If there is to be a charge
then the motive is probably reve-
nue. and not to provide a Sabbath
day to be spent as God would have
it.
May we, as ministers of the Cos
pei and as ones having great in
terest in the welfare of Ashe coun-
ty, urge you to procure vote and
mark. it in the negative square and
send it at once to the Jeffersonian
Theatre, West Jefferson, N. c.
Yours for the Lords day,
