MAKIN" MACON ? Sports Rounds By J. P. BRADY This week we squeeze in und er the ropes just in time to put out a belated bleet in the di rection of golfers who are go ing to blast their way to poten tial stardom in the Franklin Hall of Fame via the coming links lashup the last of the month. LET'S PUT THIS DEAL ACROSS! Just because the badge brigade put the lid on Dianne's brief, but interesting, two and a half minute per formance last week, is no rea son to give up the ghost on everything. There'll always be a Dianne, but if this golf tourney doesn't play to a good turn out it will .mean "Good Night Irene" for any more tourneys in this end of the woods. The course owners have gra ciously agreed to run the tour nament so the least you golfers can do is step out with your clubs and make the deal some thing to remember. Already a number of divot diggers have started practice but a handful won't make a good tournament. What is need ed? About 50 ". . . bent for leather" golfers with fire in their eyes to liven up the com petition. Now there are plenty of golf ers around here :;o drop what ever you're doinx (un!e.;s she's five two with eyec o; blue, and if so, give her a rain check i and hit for the links. So it's been a couple of years since you played. So what! Just remember, "Old golfers never die, they just smell that way." In a way the reputation of the town is at stake in this tournament. Here tell this has always been a metropolis of "go setters" so sic 'em, golfers, sic 'em! And speaking of the lovely Dianne, (if no one did, we did) a sportsman of the first order in her way, she was heard to re mark after her show was clos ed, "Gracious, that night was Ladies' night, they could have waited at least a coupla more nights." Oh yes, golf! Well, qualifying rounds will run ' for two weeks beginning the 10th. The tourney itself will start high-climbing on the 24th and will shutter down the 31st. The fairways are in excellent \ shape and the "browns" are practically foot-print-less. The pro, Jerry, is always available to give beginners a helping hand and to wor,k out any kinks par-shooters may have in their technique. All this column needs is a ball with 150 feet of stout cord attached to it so it can be reel ed in from the boomdocks when a slice takes hold, which Is every time. Otherwise, it is going to take a bushel of balls, nine caddies, and a midget to [ search out the rat holes, to get j this duffer around for nine ! holes. But I'm game and I'll be in there losing balls just as fast j as I can hit them. Now the following is going to 1 put this column on the spot, because some names are going ! to be left off, or some are going to be put on that shouldn't be. But, you take a chance every time you cross the street (one of these cleanup fiends Is lia ble to cut your legs out from under you with a weed cutter) and we're putting in a list of golfers and one-time golfers who should be entertaining thoughts of entering the tour nament: T. W. Angel, Jr., Bob Gaines, A. W. Perry, J. E. Perry, Vic Perry, R. W. Sutton, Frank L. Henry, Jr., John M. Archer, Jr., R. S. Jones, Carl Tysinger, Roy Biddle, Richard Russell, C. E. Henry; Clyde Gailey, Dr. Ed Angel, Sam Mendenhall, W. C. Burrell, C. N. Dowdle, J. W. Long, Claude Bolton, T. H. Fagg, B. L. McGlamery, W. W. Sloan, J. W. Van Pelt, M. M. Pradlin, Alvin Magnon. H. C. Allen, Dr. Ben Grant, Woodrow Reeves, Leroy Berrong, J. B. Ray, Mack Whitaker, E. W. Renshaw, Allen Slier, Allan Brooks, Frank, Dun can, John Wasilik, W. E. Hunni cutt, George Hunnicutt, Jim Wurst, Lester Henderson, Phil McCollum, Jim McCollum, Dr. Frank M. Killian, Dr. Furman Angel, H. E. McKelvey, the Rev. M. W. Chapman, Raymond Lowe, R. G. Sutton, H. H. Gnuse, T. K. Callahan, Fred Vaughn, Ed. Whitaker, Max Grist, Park er Norton, Tom Jenkins, Curtis Pearson, and the Rev. Hoyt Evans. That's the dope so far. There are plenty more of you that have been missed but don't take it out on this column. Enter the tournament and unleash your wrath on your opponents. FISH! Wiley Bryson caught enough fish last week at Chatuge to feed half the town, providing no one has a heafty appetite. He hauled out a seven pound bass with a Bomber, then en coured the catch with another bass that hit the arrow on the three pound mark. WET TRACK! Seemed like half of Franklin was among the thousands Sun day at the Asheville-Weaverville speedway to cop a gander at the 29-car field of strictly stocks. A cloud burst made the track slicker than the outer rim of a Haddycol bottle and the jockeys didn't get the "crinkle fender" show underway until I nearly six. During the rain, a [ playful casanova, some three I and three quarters sheets to a leeward wind, amu.sed the crowd by tossing his true-love down a small 25 foot embank ment into a rather sloppy mud hole, then swan dived after her. The battle raged for some ten minutes until they blended with the turf like two mud balls. Needless to say, the young lady's white linen dress | was slightly discolored. This inter ested on-looker wasted some 25 feet of color movie film on the couple's trials and tribulations and will be "more than happy to give a snowing as soon as the film returns from the processing lab. Incidentally, after the ditches separated the men from the boys, an Olds 88 plowed across the finish line for the win. The same red Olds, driven by Flon ty Flock, that passed through Franklin Saturday on the way to the race. Cullasaja Mr. and Mrs. J. D.

C America's defense depends upon more than just military strength. It depends upon an intelligent educated citizenry trained to leadership . . . upon individuals who know what their country stands for . . . who care enough to work for our ideals of free dom, equality, and opportunity. That citizenry gets its start early? right in America's schools. Today in many communities these schools aren't adequate for this vital job. Each year for the next five years, our nation's already-crowded classrooms will have , to make room for one million more chil dren. They must have a first-rate education to meet the problems of the future, and for that we need more buildings, more well-qualified teachers, more up-to-date textbooks and supplies. What about our own schools, right here in to Will they be adequate for the increased enrolln we'll have? due to our increased birth rate? If not? help your own family, your community and your country by joining our local P.T.A. or other groups interested in improving school conditions. And for information on how other communities are solving their school problems write to: National Citizens Commission for the Public Schools, 2 West 45th Street, New York 19, N. Y. Don't delay? it can be one of the most important steps you've ever taken! Like other American business firms, we believe that business has a responsibility to contribute to the public welfare.
