M. 52-56 Biitmore Ave.—Phone 4435 Patton Selected to Coach Asheville Bomber Five O Former Swannanoa Mentor Names Practice Date o By Quentin Enloe Sam Patton, the smooth-work ing Swannanoa lad whose versa tile talents have made him one of the most-talked about sports man of the day, recently signed a contract to coach and play for the Asheville Bombers, a profes sional basketball quint organized to represent that city in the pro fessional circles this fall. Big Sam, the same boy who coached the Swannanoa High school basketball team to the 1945 Buncombe county championship, called the first practice session for November 4 on the Asheville school floor. Expected to greet him will be some of the finest cage talent this nation has produced. A former Swannanoa High school eager, Patton also starred at Western Carolina Teachers Col lege, and, while in the service, under the colors of Camp Patrick Henry. He led the IV. N. C. league in scoring last season, playing in 39 games and hitting the hoops I for a total of 663 points. Patton was third high scorer of the na tion while at Camp Patrick Henry and was a unanimous choice for the Third Service command’s all star team. Patton’s sporting talents are by no means limited to the confines of a gymnasium alone. The local youngster was a crack rightfielder for the Asheville Tourist’s Class B Tri-State League club during the summer. He closed the season with a neat .343 batting average, good enough for fourth place among the leagues’ potent bats men, and proved himself worthy for the class A job awaiting him at Mobile, Alabama next spring. Patton’s lusty average caused Asheville fans to nominate him for the Tourist’s popular player contest, which he won in a breeze. The Asheville Bombers will get their first stiff test in their initial encounter at the City Auditorium on November 15. The Peerless Woolen Mills of Chattanooga, Tennessee will furnish the opposi tion in what promises to be an exciting affair. Also expected to show local fans the art of basketball at its best is Hanes Hosiery of Winston- Salem, Mcßary Eagles of Ashe boro, The Atlanta Sports Arena, Clemson College, and Furman University. With several top-notch per formers already under contract, and with a boy like Sam Patton at the helm, the Asheville young sters are destined to go places in the professional ranks, before its all over on the basketball courts come next spring.

C. NATURE STUDY By Mrs. Tr.omas S. Sharp ARTIST NATURE Autumn Leaves “Bright yellow, red and orange, The leaves come down in hosts; The trees are Indian princes, But soon they’ll turn to ghosts.” Wm. Allingham. ‘‘October’s bright blue weather “entrances us for many reasons. It, not Jack Frost, gives us our gorgeous and brilliant fall page- j ant of colors. Sunny autumns give us our most glorious gold, red, and purple, for light is absolutely necessary for these. Too many cloudy and rainy days are not conducive to a glowing fall. A severe early frost will kill the leaves before they have had time to “turn.” Have you ever noticed that on some soils the leaves stay green until very late? Too late, in fact, for the frost kills them before they obtain their richly colored fall garment. This is due to excessive nitrogen in the soil, —soil possibly heavy manured. The question has often been asked: “What are those early bril liant red trees with glossy leaves, so nestled among the greens that they almost startle us —Christmas candles glowing in our great big mountain Christmas tree? It is the sour-wood, with its white feinted arms reaching out in bene diction. The Beatitude Tree, I’ve always called it. It is rivalled later only by the fiery maple, or the two toned maple with its gold and its yellow or its red and its gold or yellow, on the same tree! Learn to know your trees by the color of their leaves. You can iden tify them “afar off.” The purple o f the dogwood makes it easy to identify, and, if the birds and the squirrels have not been too busy, bright red berries still en liven these trees. The tulip tree is a dull yellow or brown and yel lew, the white oaks (smooth edges to leaves) are brown and yellow, and some are reddish; the black oaks to which family the/ scarlet oaks belong, (pin points on edges of leaves), are a rich green with many leaves now a very rich red. Magnificent trees at every season; the mountain magnolia (cucumber tree) is splotched with rust; and the hick ories are yellow. All these present a wonderful “fall parade of col ors” that we of the Temperate Zone alone, are privileged to “rich ly enjoy.” Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like our Appalachian Mountains. Be neath the trees and scattered along the roadside, the suniacs are ablaze. I have been requested to. re peat what I wrote last fall in re gard to the “cause” of the differ ent colors. You students of Chem istry have studied about tannin, xanthophyll, anthocyanin, and chlorophyl. All summer the rich green pigments in the leaf cells (chlorophyl) have masked the water-fast yellow pigments (xan thophyll) in the interior cells. Leaves turn yellow in a drought because the green goes with the life in the leaf cell, and then the yellow is seen. In the fall, at the base of each twig, the tree grows a row of corky cells which cut off the circulation of sap. Tannin pro duces the browns. In “days of yore,” we noticed this particular ly in the chestnuts. The water soluble reds and purples are pro duced by the anthocyanins. These colors are found only in the “sup erficial cells” of certain leaves, not in the “interior cells.” As these require sunny weather to “heighten” their color, we never see the brilliant reds and scarlets in a cloudy season, and England never does, on account of her cool and rainy fall weather. The sugar maple is so vivid because of sugar in the sap. Sugar seems to be in ducive to brilliant scarlet. Acidity also turns leaves red. Acidity spreads throughout the leaves as the cells die.

Bills, special agent in charge of the Charlotte FBI office, announced today that a series of conferences for law enforcement officials will be held in sixteen North and South Carolina cities between October 22 and November 20, 1946. The conference nearest to Black Mountain will be held at Lake Lure. N. C., on November 1, 1946. The program for these confer ences will include a series of dem onstrations of arrest problems and searching of prisoners. Mr. Bills has stated that the subjects are planned to aid law enforce ment officers in meeting practi cal problems in criminal matters. These FBI-sponsored confer ences were instituted nationally by Director John Edgar Hoover in 1940 to promote cooperation among law enforcement agencies and to discuss law enforcement problems during the national emergency. They are being con tinued for the purpose of discuss ing problems arising out of the growing crime wave. In scheduling 16 conferences throughout the territory, Mr. Bills aimed to make the conference readily accessible to all law en forcement agencies, and to have the opportunity of making the personal acquaintance of the law enforcement officers in the terri tory. Chief of Police Carl C. Smith is expected to attend the confer ence at Lake Lure. acid soil, are conducive to fiery colors.
