Jefferson Boys
Very Successful

Jefferson high school has bal
anced athletic program and an
effort is made to include as many
students as possible but not to
over emphasize any one sport.
Basketball, however, is by far the
most popular sport this year and
the boys made an enviable record.
The girls were also successful.
With few seasoned players,
Coach Ralph Stansberry, who
joined the jefferson faculty in
the late fall, did a splendid job
as coach. With Mona Belle Null
lis and Lorraine Woodie from last
years successful team he added
Myrtle Koontz, Polly Austin, Mar
garet Woodie, and Virginia Nc
Clure, who made up a team that
was hard to defeat.
During the season as the team
won five as against three losses
as the sum total of the remark
able efforts of Mr.. Stansberry,
much credit goes to the substi-
tutes, viz. Mary Lynn johnson,
Mildred Maye, Clarene Oliver,
Mary Hazel Hodge and others
who promise for Jefferson high
other successful teams.
The boys, coached by Weaver,
made a record which may well be
the envy of all corners. %
victories as against two defeats is
indeed a record of which anyone
may be proud. With five regulars
returning the team got off to fiji
teen victories before defeat was
tasted. Due to the illness of Parks
Coward, brillian guard, one game
was lost to Nathan's Creek.
Spanked by winning the Ashe
county division of the Appala-
chan conference with eight vic
tories, the team converged on
Winston-Salem's tourney where,
in order, they stole the show from
four great teams.Of one hundred
and thirty-three teams to enter
Jefferson was one of the four to
reach the semi-finals. A truly
great record. The boys were de-
feated in the semi-finals because
of the illness of Eddie Woodie,
Jefferson's forward.
Four of the boys are leaving
but athletic history of Jefferson
will point with pride to such
boys as Coward, Woodie, Weaver,
Freeman, L. Bare and B. Bare.
A great team, backed by such
substitutes as Sheets, J. Bare, H.
Coward, Sexton, Stansberry and
others, but great because they
knew that there was much more
to playing than winning.

LATE THAT afternoon the first
reporters reached Halcvun Island
The strangers telephone call to the
New York Clarion had crossed one
from the editor of the Richland
Daily Press, who had already con-
tacted a New York daily. The story
that Natalie Marchbanks, who was
formerly Natalie Schuyler, was
honeymooning on an island set
aside for the S of couples too
poor to afford 4 honeymoon, was
news; the fact that she had be-
slowed some very c~Xtravagaut
gifts on a little nobody and his
wife in some hick southern town
was also news. Most Of the New
York papers thought well enough
of the tip, at any rate, to dis
patch a reporter to find out more
about it.
They were all longing on the
beach, as they usually did in the
late afternoon, when a boat came

functions in the body although for
most people, we get sufficient po-
tassium in u food. We do not
get so much, however, as we do of
the antagonistic sodium salts.
Potassium salts help to preserve
the neutral reaction of the body
that is to say, to keep it from be-
ing either acid or alkaline. The
potassium salts also have some
thing to do with the contraction of
muscles and the regulation of the
heart muscles. In middle-aged peo-
pie, potassium salts help to keep
the water balance of the body
level.
Reduction of weight, according
to Rusk, is accomplished by meals
high in animal food, with the addi-
ton Of potassium foods. He has
reported several cases of loss of
weight in obesity from this form
Of dietary restriction.
Action on Allergic Diseases
Another action of potassium
has been that it acts family like
adrenalin in the treatment of by
persensitiveness or allergic dis
eases. One doctor recommends the
daily eating of potassium foods
during the entire hay fever sea
son.
In certain muscular difficulties,
in dizziness, and in heart failure,
potassium foods are also recon-
mended.
A list of foods high in potassium
is given observation-disclosures, cab
bage greens, caviar, cereals, cocoa,
