The committee which worked to make up the float which the Washington Park Community club entered in the American Legion Parade, Saturday after noon, would very much appre- ciate 1t, if anyone taking a pie ture of the float as 1t passed through the city, would send the film of the picture, after they have finished with 1t, to the Waterbury Democrat, for Mrs. Frank McGrath, secretary of the club. The committee Is anxious to get a picture of 1t, and the one taken was de- stroyed when the camera met with an accident, and for this reason, they are without Q pic- ture.

The :
SPORTS
WORLD
By JOHN ANDERSON

North Carolina by the close
score of AZ to 31s. But Carolina's
heavyweight, Gates Kimball, won
on forfeit. Only few schools
in the South will allow a man to
fight Kimball. They say Kimball
us too good. Possibly he is. In fact,
he is. When in the Pacific navy
before entering college, Kimball
was all-coast champion. Last
year, while fighting for Carolina,
he never extended himself in a
bout and lost the conference
crown because of mot wanting
to hurt anybody" But it will be
different story this year. Kim
ball is a little harder, tougher and
hasn't forgotten what he lost last
year by showing his opponents
mercy.

Final Red Cross
Report Is Made
Approximately $4,000 Raised
During Recent Roll Call
In Ashe County.

Although the Ashe county Red
Cross roll call drive was over be-
fore Christmas, there were some
solicitors who did not. turn in
their reports until last. week and
Rev. Hoyt Wood, chairman, an
nounces that approximately $4OO
has been received by the local
Red Cross.
OF this amount the national
Red Cross will receive only one
half, the other half remaining in
the county for local needs, Chair
| man Wood pointed out. Last year
the annual drive netted the Red
Cross nearly $500 from Ashe
county, and local members of the
Red Cross committee are well
pleased that this year the peo-
pie of Ashe responded so well to
the call.
Mr.. Wood said he wished to
thank all solicitors, teachers,
WPA foremen, and others who
aided in obtaining memberships
and urged that all school princi-
pals to whom first aid kits are
due, come by for them.
An incomplete list of those per-
sons buying $1.00 memberships
has previously been printed. This

BASKETBALL

Appalachian, the little noun
tain college with the big reputa-
ton of always having good bas-
ketball team, last Saturday night
ran up the highest score we've
ever heard of in this state. Play
ing Lenoir- Rhyme, a tough rival,
Coach Clyde Canipe's basketeerS
threw all their strength into the
fray and won by the large score
of 81 to 80. And three Appalach-
ian teams saw action. Local sport
fans are looking forward to the
CRrolin a-Appalachian G a m e
which, will come about near the
latter part of the month.
Last year when the Noun
taineers went down to the Hill
and tangled with the Southern
conference champions at the Uni
versity, it appeared an Appalach-
ian victory until the last few
minutes when the Blind Bomber
George Glamack managed to pull
his teammates out of the fire of
defeat. But Ashe county's star,
Byron Stuart, stole most of Gla-
mack's show that night in rack+
ing up % points to Glamack's 25.
This year the Mountaineers will
be seeking revenge and tough
scrap will be in store for the IA
vored White Phantoms. We're
not venturing a wager on the
contest, but an upset wouldn't
surprise us.

Native OF County
Dies In Montana

Mrs. Mary J. Howell, 70, Rus
sell, Mont, died on December q
in hospital at Great Falls, Mont,
it was, learned here this week.
Mrs. Howell was born January
%, 1867, at Beaver Creek in Ashe
county and before her marriage
was Mary J. Hardin. She and her
husband moved to Russell, Mont,
in 1913 where they had resided
since that time. Mr.. Howell died
last year.

inSpite of the lack of snow num-
Der have been very successful,
particularly with rabbits. Reid
Sturdivant, popular local man
who likes Ashe county so well
that he some times forgets his
own native State of Wilkes. Gene
Parker who can usually be found
in the store or the Methodist
church, Levern Johnson, the big
cheese of this section, have all
had particularly good luck with
rabbits. MIR. Parker says that in
addition to the fun of bringing
home the rabbits he finds a lot
cf satisfaction strolling over the
fields and enjoying the sunshine
and fresh air which are some of
the many things we have to be
thankful for here in Ashe.
More Corn
A Nathan's Creek farmer re-
ports that more corn will grow to
the ear down in his section than
anywhere else in Ashe county
and he brings in proof of it. F.
N. Phipps, of the Red Ruff farm
has brought in one large ear sur
rounded by II smaller ones. This
is the first time we have ever
seen corn grown by the dozen in
one shuck. But, saw shucks", a
good many things are grown bet
ter in Ashe county than any
where else.
Changes In Styles
Mrs. Walter Tucker, known to
most Of her friends as "Gladys",
showed us a catalogue sent out in
1925 from a mail order house.
How styles do change! To those
who can remember it, the waist
line of the dresses, or at any rate,
the belts were far below the nor
NAL waist line. The dresses
seemed to have a draped rather
than a fitted effect. 1t is funny
thing about styles. When the
vogue is for long dresses, the
short ones look out of place and
vice-a-versa, so after all it just
depends on how one looks and
what the present styles are!
Chickens and Eggs
John Reeves tells an egg story,
that doesn't smell at all but will
bear repeating. Some months ago
he began to pine for a fresh egg
every morning and bought seve-
raj hens. But as some times is
the case the hens produced no
eggs. So they were in turn killed
and eaten.
Later, after exhausting his sup
ply, John bought hen at Smith
ey's, left her in the yard for a
few hours and 10 he soon dis
covered several fresh eggs! Per-
haps this story is proof of the
song, eff You Wish Long Enough
and Strong Enough, but then
science would probably discover
that a neighbours hen had strayed
over to his lot to lay her eggs.
Pollyannas and Pleasure
The Wesleyan Guild of Christian
Service adopted the pollyanna
plan Of drawing names and max
ng this particular person glad.
And for the convenience Of the
donors who wish to keep this a
secret for a while, there are some
oollyanna gift boxes in some Of
he stores here, including Belk's.
Even if we are not members Of
his particular group, it strikes us
hat the game of making another
person glad is a pretty good
game to be played at all times.
