JEFFERSON

Like most other schools of the
county the major sport at Jeffer-
son is basketball. Baseball is not
offered due to lack of playing
space There are, however, a
number of other organized sports
offered to all those students who
wish to participate. Among those
are softball, volleyball, soccer,
horseshoes and kickball 1t is the
responsibility of each teacher to
provide some form Of supervised
recreation for his class.
Class tournaments are usually
held in a number of these sports
which, in the past, have created
great deal of excitement and
enthusiasm among the student
body.
Both the basketball teams en-
joyed a rather successful season.
The girls lost only two games
during conference play and were
runners up in the Boone tourna-
ment and also the county tourna
ment. The boys were in second
place when the conference play
ended and were winners in the
county tournament. The boys
also made a good showing in the
WinstOn-Salem tournament.
Four Jefferson players won all
tournament honors at Boone,
Mary Gordon Austin and Gladys
Watson for the girls and Ford
Rash and Dean c. Jones for the
boys. In the county tournament
Mary Gordon Austin and Mary
Lou Thompson were placed on

Part In Program
Basketball Is Major Sport In
High School; Supervised
Play For Grades
STRESS SPORTSMANSHIP

From the time Ashe county
boys and girls enter the first
grade at school, they begin to
take part in supervised play and
directed exercises as a part of the
physical education program,
which IS planned to include every
child IN school.
Good craftsmanship is stressed,
and even in the more simple
games children are taught to be
good losers as we'll as winners.
Weather conditions and lack of
space and facilities prevent COM
plete programs being carried out
at all times, but every effort is
made to include as many children
as possible.
Basketball is the major sport
among the high school students
and here much skill is DEVELOPED.
Brief summaries of the physi-
cal essHcatDnprogram in the nine
high schools of the county are
given here:

The money taken in was used to
buy softballs for the entire

V mnogih ameriskih casopi-
sih je bilo objavljeno ma vidnem
mestu "Odprto pismo ruskemu
easnikarju", in katero je bilo
kasneje oddano tudi po radiju
"Glas Amerike" v Rusijo. Av-
tor pisma je poznani ameriski
casnikar David Lawrence. Od-
govoril je ma moi elanek "Na-
pacni Glas'', katerega sem pri-
obcil v nasem tedniku "Kultura
in zivljenje" dine 10. aprila 1947.
Tukaj je moi odgovor.
Gospod David Lawrence! -
vi pravite, da ste pricakovali,
da bonn po moi vrnitvi povedal
nasemu ljudstvu vrlinah in
slabostih Zdruzenih drzav Ame-
rike. To sem storil po svojih
najboljsih moceh, kakor sem We
del in znal. Ia moja porocila O
Ameriki sem dobil mnogo pri-
znanj, tako cd sovjetskih, ka-
kor tudi cd ameriskih citate-
ljev. Seveda, nekateri so kriti-
zirali to ali ono vprasanje, to-
da vsi so sc strinjali v tenn, da
nisem pisal samo o slabostih,
ampak tudi o vrlinah Zdruzenih
drzav Amerike.
Meni Sc zelo dopade vase
energicno ljudstvo, mnogi uce-
njaki, pisatelji, arhitekti, vasa
visoko razvita tehnika, krasne
avtomobilske ceste in veliko
drugih dobrih stvari. Ne dopa-
de Sc mi pa vasa reakcija, "a
kulisne mahinacije raznih trus-
TOW, licemerstvo imperijalistov,
prodajnost in nesmiselno klepe-
tanje vasih casnikarjev, rasi-
zem, nedostojne knjige in filmi,
dusevna zaostalost in mnogo
drugih slabih stvari.
| vi pravite, da ne razumem
Amerike in da radi tega GRAHAM
radijsko oddajanja "Glas Ame-
rike". Meni Sc pa dozdeva, da
ste nastopili proti meni ravno
zato, ker res nekoliko razumem
Ameriko. Meni, naprimer, je
dobro znano, da je pri vas re-
klama v vecini slucajev zveza-
ma z licemerstvom. Tako neka
firma, katera sc bavi z zbira-
MEM starih umetnin, oglasa po
radiju: "Pomagajte Cd vojne
prizadetim', nakar sledi njen
naslov. v mnogih ameriskih me-
stih sem videl velike plakate, S
katerimi Sc je ljudstvo poziva-
10 k varcevanju z zivezem, ker
petsto miijonov ljudi gladuje
po svetu. Ma teh plakatih je bi-
la podpisana firma "Heinz', ka-
terra izdeluje salamo in kloba-
Sc. Zato odkrito priznam, da me

pa Vase pisanje, nj prav mic pre-
senetilo.
Sedaj pa h glavnim tockam
Vasega pisma. vi pravite: ''Pri-
znati mOramo, da nikakor ne
razumemo to, kar delate ma Bal

Da, prav tako ste zapisali - v

Mi smo Sc resili sami. Da Sc je
zapadnim zaveznikom posrecilo
tako uspesno izvesti izkrcanje

nasa zasluga, ker smo Sc celia
tri leta sami borili proti naci-
sticnim kohortam. Takrat, ko SO
zapadni zavezniki prisli "resevat
Rusijo', je nasa armada ze dav-
no pognala naci-fasiste nase

sto, Sofijo, Belgrad in Warsavo!
Zato je vsako cvekanje ne

most neumnost.

School Teachers
Hold Meeting
With Legislators

A legislative committee meet
ing in Raleigh last Thursday
evening, attended by c. H. Pin
ner, chairman of the Columbus
county educational association,
civic leaders, parents and teach
ers from all parts of the state
presented worlds Of information
designed to show the lawmakers
the need for their endorsement
of the South Piedmont resolu-
ton which would roughly grant
a 40 percent increase IN salary
to school teachers.
Some of the information, COM
piled from North Cardinals state
department of public instruction,
showed the percentage OF de-
crease of white school teachers
holding A grade certificates from
l94l to 1947. In Columbus coun-
ty. according to the bulletin,
there are 1916 percent fewer A
grade teachers now than IN l94l.
In proposing the salary in
crease, teachers are pointing out
that this decrease in first class
teachers is due largely to the
fact that during the past SIX
years while teachers have recelv-
ed a wage increase of rough
ly 81 percent, other employed
persons have received an IN
crease of 70 percent.
The South Piedmont proposal
would pay to beginning teachers
S1,56O for nine months term,
and the schedule would advance
slowly according to the years OF
experience until the 18th year
at which time teachers would
receive the maximum of $4,000
a year. This proposal would call
for a considerable increase which
officials of the North Carolina
Educational Association are spon
soring but which is being chal-
lenged by individual teacher
groups throughout the state,
headed by R. L. Fritz OF Cald-
well county.

Announces New
Billing System

With the arrival of long await
ed modern billing machines, the
Tide Water Power Company an
nounces the immediate change
to a modern method of billing.
In place of the old bill regularly
sent to all gas and electric users,
small postcard will be used.
This change has been contem-
plated for sometime but has been
delayed until the arrival of bill
ing machines.
This postcard bill has been
adopted for several reasons,
namely: Paper is still short and
this will enable Tide Water to
save considerably on this scarce
commodity. ~ Instead Of the
old bill which was cumbersome
and difficult to understand, this
bill will be handy for purse, poe
textbook, wallet, or pocket. CD
In the past many people have
come to the Tide Water offices
for duplicate bills; understand
ably so, in view of the old fash
Toned. foot-long piece of paper
used heretofore. 1t is hoped the
new bill will encourage the Gus
toner to bring his bill to the
office when paying, this saving
customers time by making 1t
more convenient to present this
more adaptable bill for payment
instead of waiting for a dup
licate bill to be made out by the
office. az The most important
reason for changing to postcard
billing is the fact that the COM
pany is aware that material and
labor cost is constantly rising.
The company, therefore, feels
that it is it's duty to seek the
most efficient mad economical
means of performing its neces-
sary operations.
This changeover will be put
into effect Immediately, so that
with the bill being mailed this
week a postcard will replace the
old type bill.
