And it's getting to where they start out being a qualified citizen pretty young these days. , F. C. (Fishcatcher) Hall of La Feria, Texas, purchased a license for his son one hour after the youngster's arrival at the Mer cedes hospital. When would he take the boy fishing? "Just as soon as the weather clears," the iroud father answered. THE SOIL and CONSERVATION Conservation of the soil is large ly a matter of using the land in accordance with the dictates of nature. OUR DEAR, GREEDY, FORE FATHERS One of our conservation depart ments has in its possession an edi torial published by a newspaper in 1854 denying the possibility of any wildlife scarcity. Forest fires illuminated the skies at night and did no harm. Twelve tons of quail were shipped to market A shooting match was held with nr izes for hunters who dropped the largest number of ducks. They should have had just this one conservation measure in those days law enabling game hogs to shoot each other and thus ob tain the expired hunter's game too. Why didn't someone think of that? , , WHAT&AN WEAV. Look fellows, let s get this start ed ! One of our large eastern cities is conducting a campaign to open a fishing pond for youngsters in each of the city's parks. The idea is to stock them with pan fish and allow only kids under 16 to fish, The NY A is supposed to supervise the fishing and teach the young sters sportsmanship. .': This is the best idea we've heard in a long time. Every city, town and village should have this. Why not get the sportsmen of your town together and see what they think? Local Sportsmen Leave Today On Bear Hunt Dr. N. M. Medford will be in charge of a two-day bear hunt in Sherwood Forest which will be made up of local hunters. Canton sportsmen drew all the hunts this season, but gave way to Waynes- ville hunters for the bear hunt into Sherwood this week. Most of the sportsmen will leave town late this afternoon and spend tonight at the old Waynesville Gun and Rod headquarters, accord ing to Dr. Medford, others joining them on Friday morning. In order to give a larger num ber of local hunters a chance at old Bruin this season some of the hunters are joining the party for only one day to allow others to take their place. Those in the party in addition to Dr. Medford will be: Joe Har grove, Geo. Brown, Jr., Harry Clay, Felix Stovall, Paul Clay, W, A. Bradley, J. M. Killian, Al vin Ward, L. M.

SAM COX TRANSPLANTING GAME It's a pity to see so much avail able forest lands, fields and thick ets that would support game and nothing in them. The federal game authorities have been in creasingly successful of late in "transplanting" game animals from districts where they are nu merous to places where they are unknown or scarce. By the use of "catch-'em-alive' traps, even full grown elk and antelope have been transplanted. Seven beavers were moved into Kentucky several years ago where none had been seen for a long time. This may not seem ennuch to reDODulate the state. but remember that the many thriv ing colonies of beaver now louna in New York state all came from seventeen beavers which were brought there from Yellowstone Park in 1907. If you haven't much to hunt for, get sportsmen of your vicinity together and "transplant" some game! CLEAN MEAT Before skinning rabbit or GRANDMA COOKS A "SWELL DINNER Story 117 After they got over the scare from that popcorn, last night, they all fell in love with it, and it is a fact that Howler's neck got two hugs from Benny and Jenny, when he rummaged about in the pantry and brought out a regular corn popper, and showed them how to Use it. "I would like to know how you happened to know that thing was in there," Bettie said. " I saw it one day, but I thought it was some sort of sifter that Mr. Man was going to use to shake dirt out of his peanuts, or something, and I 'Just forgot all about it." And now Howler dropped a lot of it, and he melted Some lard and poured over it and then sprinkled some salt on it, and then he couldn't pop it fast enough for the crowd. And Grandma' said she certainly Was sorry that she had nearly broken her neck in falling out of the door while trying to get way from such a good thing. Every now and then Jenny would stop eating, and would shell a grain off the cob and lay it beside a grain that had been popped, and look wonderingly at it. And then she asked how in the world all of that big buch of white stuff ever got into that tiny little shell, but nobody could tell her. They all ate till Howler told them he was not going to pop any more, and he put up the popper and the other ears of corn; but Grandma had already eaten enough to make her feel good and comfortable and very much like talking. So, after she got her knitting and had picked up a few dropped stitches or loops or what ever she called them, she said: "The way that corn swelled up made me think of the first time I ever cooked any whippoorwill peas. I was nothing but a child, and I had done mighty little cook' ing, and I didn't know a thing about what peas do when they get wet and hot. One day my mother had to go away right after breakfast, and she told me that she might not get back in time to start dinner, and that I could get dinner started by putting on the peas. She told me to put a tin cup full of peas in the little boiler with some water, and put it on the fire, a good while be fore ' dinner time three boil ers in the kitchen a little one, a bigger one and a biggest one, but the little one was plenty big enough, and even MORE than big enough to hold just one cup full of peas, and so I used the little boiler. But when I put just one cup of peas in it, they seemed such a little bit to make enough for dinner for three folks, I thought she had made a mistake, and so I put three caps of peas in, and then filled the boiler with water, and set it on the nre, It wasn't but a little while before I heard water frying on the stove and when I looked at the boiler I ..lw1a Aln f Via animal in mill squu v4.f v. water and the hair will not fly or -1- A. 4V mam4- W lil SAWFISH'S SAW and SWORD- FISH'S SWORD There is no Quick, clear defini tion of the difference between a Bwfish and a swordfish in many sportsmen's minds, especially those who know little of salt water fish.

LACKS NOTHING By Jade Sords Brevard Mars Hill Easy Foe For Locals Mountaineers Hare Little Trouble In Subduelng Man Hillians In Annual Game. ( L,vj Steve Tram pled 11 ADOrfto is rAff cgsr ootct aj hap ii yeAies When Duke and Carolina meet Saturday, all eyes will center on Steve Lach, Duke halfback, who is being frequently mentioned for an All-American post. Word coming from Chapel Hill this week, is that the Carolina team has put in a hard week of preparation for the game and the Carolina team will have their eyes on Lach about as much as the thousands of spectators, who bought every seat in the huge stadium months ago. 19 to 6 Yount Receives Shoulder In jury Which Win Keep Him From Canton Game. The Waynesville Mountaineers passed their Blue Ridge Conference foe last Tuesday in an Armistice Day game by defeating Brevard on their own field, 19 to 6. A num ber of local fans journeyed across the mountain to see the grid tussle. Those scoring for the locals included Fisher driving through the line. A pass to Inman for 20 yards and his gallop of 20 addition al yards netted another Mountain eer score. Jaynes also scored on a 20 yard pass. The Brevard game was the last conference game for the locals and next to the last of the season. The Mountaineers have been beaten once by a conference team, and that was Andrews.. Outside of a shoulder injury re ceived by Yount in the Brevard game, which will eliminate him from playing any more this season, the balance of the squad came out with only minor bruises. There will not be any game be tween the major teams until Tur key Day, but on the day .proceed ing this '(Wednesday) the "scrubs" will meet the Asheville School "scrubs" on the local field. Heroes At Football Games Are In Stands, And Not On Field, Says Sports Writer By Henry McLemore in Baltimore News-Post. For 10 years I watched a football game every Saturday during the season and for 10 year I helped pick an Ail-American team. My seat during this decade was in the press box, from which point I kept my eyes fastened on the gladiators in the arena below and on the gladiators alone. This year for the first time I am watching football garnet from wherever I can buy a seat and for the first time I realize what a mis take I made in limiting my All America selections to the players and ignoring the spectators. There are more heroes in the stands than youll ever find on the playing fields. During a season the customers will endure more hard ships, laugh at more dangers and wind up with more injuries, than the combatants themselves. No tackle at Minnesota ever has to take the beatig that the fellow does who finds himself wedged in between the old former gridiron greats in Section 23, Row 0, Seat 26. When a player is hurt on the field he can call for time out and have a trainer come ' administer soothing potions and lotions, but the customer can't He just has to sit there and take it as the varsity stars of yesterday play their own little private game in the stands. I got in between a pair like this at the Columbia-Army game and they ran up a tremendous score against me. I fought back like an inspired man for the first quarter, but after that I was at the mercy of their knees, elbows, feet, head, saw water and peas spilling out all over the top of the stove. I grabbed a little cup and dipped out a lot of the peas and put then in another boiler, and rut it on the stove. "When I dipped the peas up, I noticed that they were a lot bigger than they were when I put them on the stove, and it seemed mighty funny that they had grown so big while in the boiler. Then J went back and sat down in the door to wait for my mother, but it wasn;t long before I heard the water spluttering on the stove again, and when I ran to it both boilers were running over with water and peas again, and the peas were a lot big ger than they were a few minutes ago. For a few seconds I just stood there and didn't know what to do, and then I saw the big dish pan hanging on a nail, and I grab bed it and poured all the peas from both boilers in it, and set it on the stove. "Well, those peas kept on getting bigger until they had that pan near ly filled, when my mother got back. When' she saw the other boilers lying on the floor, and what lookedl like about a peck of peas boiling in the dishpan, she knew what had happened. No, she didn't scold me, but she did outlaugh Billie Possum." (To be Continued) hands and bottles. They were only slightly interest ed in the game going on down on the gridiron. All .they wanted to do was to scrimmage. Like old fire horses answering a bell, the game was just an excuse for them to re live the days when they were play ing for Stagg or Pop Warner or Percy Haughton. At the end of the game they were completely played out and I was beaten to a frazsle, but did we have a warm dressing-room to re tire to, with a bench to stretch out on and someone to pat our backs? No. We each faced a 60-mile drive in an automobile through tortuous traffic. " Much fuss is made over thi foot ball players who carry on for Alma Mater despite broken noses, bashed ribs and cracked jaws. But sports writers (and I was guilty for a tenth of a century) overlook the spectators who show equal forti tude."' What about the football fan with stomach trouble who, because of his love for the game, gets his Vitamins on Saturday from the hot dogs and peanuts that are sold in stadia, or from an icy sandwich that he brought along in his pocket? He knows he is risking his health but nothing will stop him. Try to show me a fullback with more courage, than the man who volunteers to make a straight buck into the line around the refresh ment stand between halves and bring back food and coffee for the girls in his party. He doesn't have any bulky comrades to run interfe rence for him, no protective pads to cushion the bumps. He must make his own holes. A fullback has nothing but a foot ball to carry. But the line plunger at the refreshment stand must jug gle cups of scalding liquid and frankfurters slippery with mustard Morover, there is no referee around to punish his rivals for such things as clipping, tripping, shoving, il legal use of the hands and unneces sary roughess. It also must be remembered that football spectators as a rule are not in top physical condition. There is no way to train for the arduous task of Attending football games. They have had no spring or fall training. And the weather they endure! -No right thinking seal or polar bear would sit out in the blizzards and torrential rains that football spec tators take in stride. They risk death by exposure as gallantly as arctic explorers, and what is more, they pay for the priv ilege. (Distributed by McNaught Syn dicate.) Only honest criticism we ever heard of the Maginot line was that a fortress can't fall back to a pre viously designated position. At lanta constitution. The fellow who can always laugh and not care what others think about him, he's the kind you never find in sanitariums. In My OPINION By Marion Bridges Bill Milner is making a record in football down at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, where he is a sophmore. i Sports writers in the Columbia State have been heaping laurels on Bill's deserving crown. In commenting upon some of Bill's work with Gamecocks, Abe Fennell, the State's sports commentator said in part: , '" "As a freshman last year, Milner played end,. Then in spring prac tice, Bill played fullback. This fall when Coach Rex.Enright start ed preparations for the start of the season, he told Milner that he needed guards, and Milner would get more chance to play at guard this year than at any other slot. " I want to play football, Coach, and if I Can play more as a guard than a fullback, well, let's go.' "As a result Bill Milner started the North Carolina game as left guard for South Carolina, and has been there ever since, playing a large part of the brilliant blocking which resulted in South Carolina wins over North Carolina and Clemson. "This writer, when Coacnh right gave us his starting lineup against North Carolina, couldn't place Milner at all, but since then we have learned to know him as coach's ball player, a guy who is doing his job .efficiently, but with out fanfare." ' ' The Waynesville Mountaineers ran rough-shod over a visiting Mars Hill eleven last Friday afternoon 54 to 6 in sub freezing weather which caused the attendance to drop to a minimum. The locals scored freely in tne first periods of the play, scoring 14 points in the opening quarter, 26 in the second and 14 in the third period. The Mountaineers' first tally came after an eighty yard march with Henry crossing pay dirt from the two. A pass from Yount to Henry was good for the extra point. Starting near midfield and march ing to the three, Yount then car ried to net the second touchdown of the afternoon for the locals. Davis drove the line for the con version. The next Mountaineer score came in the second period when Yount on a spinner galloped 54 yards to score. An attempted kick for the extra point was wide. Only a few minutes later Yount flipped a pass to Henry from the Mars Hill 20 for another score for the locals. Wyatt dropkicked for the point. The Mountaineers placed the vis itors with their backs to their own goal line and on their punt, Scruggs galloped from his own 45 down to the 7 before being downed. Davis then traveled the remaining yards to score. Wyatt drove the line for the conversion. Harris scored the next touch down for the locals from the 10 on a reverse. An attempted kick was no good for the point. Going Into the tnird period Way nesville took advantage of a Mars Hill bad punt to take the ball on the visitor's 24, and after driving down to the 3, Scruggs cracked the line to score. The last score of the game for the locals came in the closing min utes of the third period after Wyatt returned a punt to the visi tors' 62 and after driving to the one Wyatt also scored. A pass from Wyatt to Scruggs netted the extra point. The Mountaineers held the vis itors at bay until the last period when they took advantage of a Waynesville fumble on the locals 38 and after netting a first down flipped a pass from Wood to Mc Kinney that was good for 27 yards and a score. The try for the point was stopped short. " rne uneup: Pos Waynesville LE slaynes Milner never . was a player to seek fanfare, even when he carried the pigskin for Waynesville high. Bill stuck to his. job and brought home the bacon skin. With two more years of college ahead, Bill is destined to continue up the ladder of success,, and before he lay hie helmet and uniform away, should be at the top of gridiron's famed sons. .' - Housewives will be paid waste paper to speed drive. for LT Compton ..
