The Chicks took another game from the Pirates to move into un disputed possession of first place in die National League. The score in y some 400 horesbaclc riders ? arrived here at 4:03 Monday afternoon. The occasion was marked by pa ?ades, dancing in the streets, a beauty contest, and fun n era noral ? Hi One of the highlights of the lay came when pretty Jeaneue Johnson of Murphy Route 1 was crowned as "Miss Wagon Train of 1960. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan Johnson and is a high school student. Named "Miss Junior Wagon Train" was Kenny Jane Davis,' daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ken neth Davis of Murphy. The Wagon Train made the 30 mile trek from Tellico Plains, renn., to Murphy across the Uni-i coi Mountains. The event origi nally was designed to point out ' < the need for taking advantage of the tourist potential for the area 1 and to encourage development along this line. Newly elected Rep. Roy Taylor I of Black Mountain was on hand lor the occasion. In saluting the i undertaking, he declared: "You have turned back the pages of 1 history to the covered wagon and the hardy American pioneer who I braved the dangers of the wilder- I ness, who climbed the mountain sides, forged swift ? running 1 waters, crept painfully througn rocky gorges and ground his teeth upon the bitter dust of the des ert." His audience was the thousands who planned months for thisj event, dressed in the costumes of frontier days. In other contests, S. 0. Allen, sheriff of Loudon County, Tenn.,; was judged winner for the best! 30-day beard. Runner-up was Billy Joe Gray of Ft. Loudon. Top honors for the best "full growth" beard went to Tom Car ver of Englewood, Tenn. Runner up in this contest was Bass Dock ery of Tellico Plains. Lavone Thompson of Culberson, won the top honors for having the best ladies' Costume. Mrs. Bass Dockery placed second and Mrs. Arnold Dalrymple of Mur phy was third. After the round of contests and speech - making a square dance was held in the old Rock Gym. Democratic Gubernatorial Nom inee Terry Sanford, unable to at tend the event, sent as his repre- , tentative Dr. Wallace Hyde of the North Carolina Motor Club. In speaking for Sanford, be told the giant crowd: "Terry is not going to forget his friends." The Wagon Train went far be yond expectations as far as size was concerned. There were horseback riders from as far away as Chattanooga and Char lotte. Taylor summed up the occasion when he told the crowd: "You have turned the national spotlight upon our mountains and their rugged beauty, and the need of this section for further develop ment. "You have demonstrated in dramatic fashion the ability ot neighbors living in two adjoining counties in adjoining states to pull together for a common cause." Picnic Tables Stolen From Highway Two picnic tables placed in Cherokee County by the North Carolina Stale Highway Commis sion have been reported stoUn E. J. Coggins, Landscape Super visor for this district said that the tables were cut loose from the foundation with hack saws. The tables were located west of Murphy, one three miles out, the other six miles from down town Murphy. This is the second incident of the misuse or abuse of the picnic tables in Cherokee County in the past few months. Another inci dent was reported about a picnic table being used as a famiiv garbage dump. As a result of pictures and an article carried in the Scout showing the mess at the table, Mr. Coggins reports the Ranger picnic table to be one of the cleaner and better kept tables in the area. The complete disregard of pub lic property is inexcusable. Any one having information concern ing the two picnic tables that were stolen, contact the Sheriff's office.
