Page Two The telephone is more than convenient communica tion. It is a means o£ doing business, away for the merchant to put his store in his customers’ homes. In serving business, the Telephone Company accepts a great responsibility—the obligation to meet every need of the business man who depends on the telephone. With the Company—as with the corner drug store —earnings are vital to continued success. And because the telephone has become a part of every day life, telephone earnings are a subject of im portance to all. In 1945, telephone earnings were the lowest in the past 23 years. For 1946, the outlook is for even „ lower earnings. In keeping with the general trend VS throughout the country, wages have recently been increased. The cost of everything else going into « the furnishing of telephone service is also climbing. Adequate earnings are a basic necessity to the 'Arperican way of life. Earnings must be sufficient to enable industry to maintain high standards of service and to attract capital for expansion. As for the Telephone Company, they are indispensable if the full usefulness of the telephone in carrying on the business of the community is to be safeguarded.

The 9th grade girls and the 10th grade boys were 'the champions of the tournament; both teams coming through with unde feated records. Members of the varsity boy’s and girl’s teams were not eligible for the tournament, but served as coaches, referees, timekeepers and scorekeepers. Much new talent was discovered and spectators and players alike enjoyed the games. Katherine Rondthaler and Ar rietta Burnett served as officials | in the girls games, while Pete Teachers Defeat Parents ! 24-11 On Friday Night j In two hectic games filled with laughs and thrills as well as spills the faculty of the Black Mountain; Schools defeated the Parents Fri- j day night in the high school gym. In the ladies’ games the teach- j ers won by a score of 20-10. Rich ardson was the high scorer of the game with nine points, while j Beddingfield played a beautiful floor game. The close guarding of the teachers also featured. Billy Burgess was effective under the basket. For the “Mamas” the ga gressive play of Knoefel and Larce attracted favorable com ment. Knoefel switched from guard to forward to score six points in the last half. The men’s game was harder fought that the score indicates the teachers winning by a score of 24-11- Styles and Burgess did some good scoring with Bedding field playing a nice floor game. The Nanney brothers, Sobol Ty son, in fact all the parents played good floor games but showed lack of practice in shooting. A fea ture of the game was a shot by Dan Turner who scored for the “Papa’s.” A novelty game was played during the evening between the boy’s and girl’s varsity teams. The boys won despite the handi caps of wearing skirts, sweaters and boxing gloves. Three cake walks were also run off during the evening.

VALUE OF THE FARM GARDEN 0 Farm gardens are mainatined on approximately 79 percent of all farms in the Untied States, the average value of the products per garden being estimated at S6B, or a total of about $350,000,000. A half-acre garden, if properly cared for, will supply vegetables having a market value of at least SIOO to $l5O, sufficient for a fam ily of five or six. The main argu ments in favor of a good garden on the farm, however, are that the vegetables are available when needed, are fresh, and have high quality and flavor. These char acteristics are not present to the same degree in vegetables bought on the markets, especially those' shipped long distances t or kept in storage and subjected to handling and exposure. During busy periods on the farm it is not always possible to go to market for fresh vegetables, and the farm garden becomes a convenient time-saving source of supply. Recent discoveries as to the vitamin content of fresh vege tables, especially the leafy kinds, emphasize the value of the garden in safeguarding the family’s health. Crops that require con siderable space, such as sweet corn, potatoes, sweetpotatoes, winter squashes, nad melons, gen erally may be grown to best ad vantage outside the garden and in connection with the cultivation of field crops, leaving the smaller crops to the garden proper. THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS Brittain did good work as a boy’s official. The leading scorers of the tourn ament were Della Mae Goodman and Edith Ragan for the girls and Paul Garrison for the boys. The all tournament teams se lected by the referees and Athletic Director were as follows: Girls—Forwards: Goodman and Ragan, 9th grade; D. Jones, Bth grade. Guards: Callison, 11th grade, Padgett, 9th grade, and Brown, Bth grade. Boys: Burgess, 11th grade and Creasman 10th grade, forwards; Garrison 10th grade, center, era ( McCool 11th grade and Stevens 10th grade guards. " “Fly" "Say's" RHl"' O GLIDING TURNS 0 A turn which is made during a | normal glide is called a uiiding ' turnturn. Since it is generally used 1 in approaches for landings, this I maneuver is often executed near j the ground. More attention must be ' given to the degree of bank and turn, position of the nose, speed of the plane,' and also to the dif ference of control pressure, as compared with turns with power I on. Therefore it is particularly I important that it be done cor rectly. Before starting your turn, look in all directions for other planes. I Coordinated rudder and ai i leron pressure must be given in I the direction you wash to turn. Your bank should be medium. Control pressures are only sli ghtly different in a gliding turn than in a turn with power. More back pressure is needed after the has been established, since you al ready will be exerting back press ureto hold the plane in a normal i glide. You may notice that the I resistance of the controls, partic ularly the rudder, is less than with power on. This follows from the fact that there is no slip stream from the propeller to blow on the rudder during the gliding turn. The plane will recover more quickly than it did when you re covered from a turn with power. In a turn with power you must start your recovery somewhat be fore the plane has turned the de sired amount. In a gliding turn, the plane stops turninng almost as soon as you start your recovery. Watch Your Coordination A skid in a gliding turn may de velop into a spin. Keep your nose down in gliding turns. Always keep flying speed. Fly the airplane; Dont just mechanically move the controls and let the airplane fly you. As in all glides, remember to clear the engine about every 20 seconds by opening the throttle to cruising R.P.M- Apply carbur etor heat before closing the thro ttle. Our Short Sermon o To them that love God all things work together for good.—Rom. 8:28. In these days w r e may indeed feel that “the world is too much ' with us.” It may seem almost im -1 possible for the average mind to ! understand the politics of the * world, to follow the trend of cur rent thought, w T hen so many vary- I ing ideas are presented, discussed, ' and argued. Even though we may not feel that we understand all that is go ing on in the world, we can take a very real part in the shaping of world affairs, in the construction of lasting peace by implementing the affairs of the outer world ! with thoughts and prayers that hold to the truth about God’s creation, man, and the world he is making for himself. As you list en to your radio, as you read your newspaper, as you sit in on dis cussions of current events, keep from confusion by keeping in mind the truth that this is God’s world, that man is created in God’s im age and likeness, that in spite of man’s seeming failure to express this image and likeness he is pro gressing, he is growing, he is learning. When writing love letters it might be well to begin with “My Dear sweetheart and gentlemen of the jury.” Most indoor sports are either illegal, immoral or fattening. j Sports Chatter j By GENE BYRD i o Hi! Sports fans: This is the first, we hope not the last, column ded : cated to sports comments, re collections of the past, and to ad vancement of sports in general- Black Mountain had to my knowledge, her first All County girl’s forward this year in Ger trude Swayngim (now Mrs. Harry Clements). Gertrude was the master of a very effective hook shot that enabled her to roll up 160 points during the regular sea son. Although Gertrude had one more season of eligibility, she elected to get married. All her many friends wish her well. There’s a movement under way to get the -field at grammar school in good condition for base ball, erect backstops, etc. I think we would all like to see baseball flourishing again in Black Moun tain. Be thinking _ of your selections for the all time baseball team for | Black Mountain. We want to start printing some of the selec- j tions. Send them to the Black | Mountain News, Attention, The Sports Editor or hand them to me at your convenience. There’s j plenty of stars to select from. Pitchers like “Buck” Greene, j Lefty Melton or Roy Brown-; Catchers like Roy Moore, Tom I Brown, “Redgie” Burleson. But you make your choice. Next fall we’ll try selecting our; all time football team. Swannanoa monopolized three! places on the All County Boy’s Basketball Team. Sides, Straehla j and Burgess all won the coveted; honor. Congratulations, boys. We| are proud our could do so well. It’s strange how unbeaten rec- j ords and tournaments conflict. Black Mountain boys roared into the Buncombe County Tourna ment as an unbeaten team and i bowed to Oakley in the second j round. We understand Old Fort with unbeaten boy’s and girl’s teams suffered the same fate in McDowell County. The Bethel boys and girls had a fine record this year winning double titles at both the W. C. T. C. and Enka tournaments. A game between Bethel and Mars Hill boys would be mighty worth while. Say sports fans let’s be think ing about a softball league this summer both for the youngsters and the business men and women. Games could be played on Wed nesday afternoons. I think we need something like this. How about you? Black Mountain High School is to begin spring football practice soon. There are some new pros pects to add to the returning let termen which would add strength to the “Darkhorses.” Say those Papas and Mamas really showed flashes of the ball players they used to be. Seeing Ruth Stepp Lance made us recall her high scoring days. Carring ton Holman Greene at guard made us remember when she was a mainstay at guard. Betty Wrenn likewise had starred for Black Mountain. Except for thinning hair Cecil and Daniel Nanney could almost take us back to their palmy day. “Bubby” Tyson look ed just as he always did. It seemed good to see W. C. Priest of Hartford, Kentucky re cently. In the late ’2o’s and early 30’s he turned out some power house football teams. Memory of yesteryears: Buck Greene’s fast ball on a foggy dark day looking like a chalk mark. t _l Boys and Girls To Have New Basketball Uniforms 0 It was announced some time ago that Lawrence Brown was do nating new uniforms to the boy's basketball team. Now, through the generosity of Roger Viverette and the Woodard family the girls are to be prov-ued | with warm-up jackets and white! satin shorts that will complete! the snappy combination of ma- 1 roon and white. The boys and girls of Black Mountain High School are very grateful for the loyal support that has been given them. They are anxious to compile good rec- 1 ords to go with the new uniforms.; “I see your charming son and daughter waiting for us on the* porch.” “Well, not exactly. The girl in the short dress is my mother and the fellow in the riding habit is my wife.” COFFEE.
