TAKE GAMES
Girls Down Swannanoa
With Well Earned 1877
Score; Boys, IA to 9
BY PETE STOKES

High schools girls broke into
the win column last night with a
we'll earned II to z victory over
Swannanoa sextet of equal size.
The boys made it Bearcat night
by pouring on the pressure in the
last half to lead the visiting BOYS
IA to 9 at the sound of the gong
Parker, Griffith, Brownlee and
Harrell scored for the Bearcat
girls. Parker totaled 5, to lead
Griffith by two points for high.
Brownlee and Harrell shot a field
goal apiece. Flanagan and Cely
were particularly effective at
guard. Decker, Joyner, and Jones
paced the losers, with Joyner col
lecting five of their seven points.
The boys game was another
low scoring affair, with Savannah
Ga holding the bag at the end.
Turner, Bennett, Byers, an d
Brown did all the scoring for the
Bearcats, but Brothers and Miller
were valuable assistants. Gibbs
sank three from the floor to lead
the visiting boys in scoring. Lytle
and Home counted three together
to make the total. Bennett and
Vaillancourt were the outstanding
performers, both handling the ball
nicely.
The score at the end of the
third period was 7 to 7, but the
Cats had too much on the ball and
doubled their count, while Swan
nanoa was only able to add two
points in the last stanza. The
half quotation was to 7, favor
ing Swannanoa.
You fans are failing sadly to
support the high school teams. If
more of you don't start coming
to the games we won't let you in
the new gym when it is complet-
ed. If it is Junior you are think
ing about, one Junior gets in free
with every twenty-cent adult tick
ct.

/ Was Spanked

was brought up in one of those old-fashion-
ed families. I was hand spanked. My mother
was we'll aware that there were two sides to a
hair brush and she used either one on me as the
occasion required She never made me eat spin
ach, though, because mothers did not know as
much about diet in those days as they know
now
There was one kind of food, however, that
she made me eat. If did not want to eat it,
was spanked into eating it in generous quantities.
1t was pie! All my life there had been one kind
of pie hated to eat. My mother felt that it was
necessary that every child learn to eat that kind
of pie.
The sort of pie my mother spanked me into
eating was Humble Pie! To this day hate the
stuff. For me to go to man and say, Il was
wrong" or Il was Mistaken" or, perhaps, II am
sorry" or "Please forgive me-" requires that
summon all that moral courage that my mother
spanked into me in my younger days. Outside
of parsnips and spinach, Humble is the thing I
am not fondest of.
In my maturity however, realize that if a
man is going to be real man, from time to
time he must eat a generous slice of Humble
Pie if he wants to keep his friends, if he wants
to keep the respect and the love of his children
A man can sit and albi to himself until he
works himself up into such frenzy of indigna-
ton and develops in his own mind such sense
of injury that he will go out and hit some man
on the nose, divorce a perfectly good wife, or
wallop some defenseless child. Nine times out
of ten, he does those desperate things because he
is trying to hide his feeling of inadequacy.
1 know of no diet which produces such in
slant reaction on the human system as Humble
Pie. At no time in my life when have eaten
slice of it, have 1 failed to find that the other
fellow was more than willing to reach his hand
out to me and share the unpalatable food with
Magazine.

A Central Cannery

A central cannery for the county has been
discussed by various people in the county dur
ing the past months and we hasten to add our
endorsement of the idea.
Be it said to the credit of Ashe housewives,
they can and dry each year to the limit of their
capacity. Perhaps we do not grow enough in the
county to live at home" completely, but the
most of the women here spend their summers
and falls trying to take care of what they do
raise for winter consumption. Often, the poorer
women do not have the necessary equipment to
their fruits and vegetables, and this is where
a cannery would be most useful and helpful.
Just how such plan would be worked out,
has not yet been learned but surely it would
meet with the hearty cooperation of all those
interested in the family welfare of the poorer
residents of the county.

To Give Sergeant
Alvin York Pension

A plea that the government re-
ward Sergeant Alvin York, out
standing hero of the World War
among the American forces, by COM
missioning him major on the re-
tired list in the Army, is before
Congress.
Such retirement would grant the
World War hero a salary of $4,000
annually for the rest of his life.
York, who lives in Pail Mall, Tenn,
was described before the committee
as a financial wreck" as a result of
his activities in helping mountain
boys in his section to get an educa-
ton. n
Congressman Mitchell of Tennes-

vide some financial reward for the

killed, took detachment of but five

numerous medals of honor, was
heavily mortgaged.
The bill to commission York, al

being held up by subcommittee of
the House military affairs commit
tee. However, after Mitchell had
spoken to the committee he was as
sured by Chairman McSwain that
the bill would be given considera-
ton.
Although he is considered one of
the outstanding heroes of the World
War, having killed 80 of the enemy
with his own pistol in taking the
machine gun nest, York has never
tried to commercialize on his fame.
It is reported that he rejected a
100000 movie contract which
would have publicized his exploit.

A Practical Farm Agent

Members of the county farm committee who
are soliciting funds with which to employ farm
agent for Ashe are very well pleased with the
response that has been given them so far.
Within short time they have been able to get
almost half of the needed amount subscribed
and they feel sure that the whole amount will
be forthcoming when the farmers throughout
the county learn that the movement is on foot.
A county such as ours that makes its living
almost entirely from the soil needs man at the
head of its farming program who can keep us
informed as to the many activities of the gov
eminent in the agricultural field as well as to
help us to keep up with the many hundreds of
things farmers need to know.
Our past experiences with county farm
agents have not been the happiest and for this
very reason, great care should be taken in the
selection of such man. The entire future of
farming in the county might rest on the selec-
ton of man for the job that it is hoped will
soon be available. If he is failure, those who
do not approve of the position will have further
cause to disapprove, but if he is a man who is
able to prove to our farmers that he is well
worth his pay, there is no reason why the tax
payers would object to helping with his salary.
We may, or may not approve of the plan the
federal government has adopted for the help
and relief of farmers but it is to our advantage

Young Criminals Grow
in Number

One of our gubernatorial candidates has in
cluded in his platform plank that has the well
fare of the younger criminals of the state at
heart. Whoever we elect for the high position of
Chief Executive of the state, we feel that it
would be well for him, whether he now advo-
Gates it or not, to give serious thought to this
problem that is confronting the welfare of the
state.
Recent figures show that the prisons in North
Carolina have 1000 more inmates now than they
had at this same time year ago. Figures furth-
er show that the average age of criminals keep
moving backward toward younger boys and
girls. Negroes used to be almost exclusive
wearers of the stripes on our roads. Now, it is
not unusual to see whole road camps of white
men, and the majority of them young men.
The state must consider taxation laws, or else
we cannot continue to rum but it is also of great
Importance that our lawmakers consider the
future of our boys and girls today who will be
the citizens Of the state tomorrow.

to keep watchful eye on those plans and let no
opportunity slip to avail ourselves of them. I'm
less we have head man., we are like sheep
without a leader.
The salary paid a county agent is high
enough for us to be able to get one who is prac-
teal, sensible, and smart enough to keep us
posted on all important agricultural events.
The right sort of man will be worth his
weight in gold The wrong sort will not be worth
the salt that it takes to put in his bread.

A Good Word for
Graham

TO THE EDITOR:
When the boys enlisted and
went to war in 1917, there were
all kinds of promises made as to
what would be done for them, if
they were lucky enough to re-
turn.
North Carolina is the only
state in the union that has not
had a veteran for governor.
The veterans are now asking
the citizens and voters of this
state to fulfill their promise of
1917 by electing andy"
Graham for governor.
The veterans would not or
ganize and support Sandy
Graham merely because he is an
ex-service man; but they most
respectfully insist that he is
thoroughly fitted by training and
experience. They are familiar
with his record as a legislator
and lieutenant governor of this
state. He is known to be a fear
less, efficient official, ever watch
full in all matters concerning the
citizens of this state. His honesty
and integrity as an official and
citizen is beyond reproach.
The veterans are honest in
their request. They sincerely feel
that "Sandy's" experience, train
ing, ability, character and past
record has fitted him for the
governors seat, equal if not far
superior than his opponents.
With his past experience to-
gether with his World War rec
ord, the veterans are asking that
he be nominated in the Demo-
cratic primary, June 9th.

By MARY FENTRESS

Limited Press Staff Correspondent Paris - (U.PO - Henna brown and burnt orange are the two new
 shades stressed by Vionnet in her fall and winter collection. These soft autumn shades are well adapted
 to tweed sports clothes and are
 shown in two and three piece tailored
 suits, simple woolen street dresses
 and even in afternoon clothes com
 bined with brown or black.
 The Vionnet silhouette has been
 slightly changed in that skirts are fuller and a bit longer coming to well below the mid-calf line. Broad ened and padded sleeves are used throughout to emphasize the shoul- der line, and many of the sleeves are fashioned loose and open at the wrist.
 Street and afternoon dresses are made with severely hig.l necks in front which are often caught down with clips of brilliants. These neck lines dip slightly in back to form a V shape. Goats and dresses are all most invariably belted in leather and wide bands of patent leather are cut into leaf-shape patterns to form be4ts on evening gowns.
 Vionnet used fur lavishly as trimming for both sports and dressy clothes. Beaver is shown extensively for street wear on tWeeds and wool- ems in the henna, burnt orange
 brown and bottle green shades. For evening. five and six skins of silver | fox are used to trim velvet or soft
 dlvetine coats and capes.
