Old Fort High Hopes For Grid Team Next Year O By Robert Tate Hensley Old Fort is looking forward for a football team next year for the Old Fort High. We have never had a football team here. A list of over 40 boys was taken -by Thurman Padgham, the man ager of the basketball team and included eighteen boys over six feet tall. A copy of this list was given to the president of the Ro tary club and the Commander of the American Legion Post in Old Fort. We also have the Veterans Administration helping us to get some equipment. We hope that the Rotary club and the Legion Post will help us. We have a place for a football field on the school ground that will be out of the way of all of the other ' activities. With a small amount of money it can be turned into an extra good field. We hope that the people in and around Old Fort will help us in getting football started here as they have in basketball. We are going into something new and if you have any advice or help in any way to get us start ed we will appreciate it. THANK YOU.

Coach Names Cage Starters To Face Rocketts O By Robert Tate Hensley The coach named his first string boys for this year’s basketball team at Old Fort High. They are Charles (Chicken) Marston, for ward, Kermit Silver, forw’ard, James (Hud) Faw, center, David (Cobb) Silver, guard, Bill Guthrie, guard. 1 his year’s team wil average well over six-feet tall. “Chicken” Marston, last year’s center, has moved to the position of forward this year; this is his second sea son to play with Old Fort. He played one year with .Middlesboro, Ky. High and one year with War ren Wilson ‘Junior college. Kermit Silver will start his sec ond straight year as forward this season. He has also played one year with the team. “Hud” Faw, who was chosen to take the job of captain this year by his fellow players and all that are connected with their team, starts his second year with the team*. He moved from guard last year to center, and has also play ed with an east coast team for two years. “Cobb” Silver will begin his fourth year as a member of the team in his old job at guard. Bill Guthrie will be fifth man and the other guard for the first team after one year with the squad. The school team will play their first game Saturday night, Nov. 2 instead of Friday, Nov. 1, as it was announced, when they meet the Old Fort Rocketts at 7:30 at the school gym. The Rockets, through the sup port of the local merchants and basketball fans, purchased new suits which cost $235.00. These suits should be here in time for the game Saturday. The line up for the Rockets will be: Raymond Simmons, Jack Jolly, Glenn Go sorn, Calvin Evans, and Bill Ho gan, with Virgal Pressley, “Ace” Creasman, Lawrence Parker, Wal ter Melton, and Eston Morris backing them with a good relief force. This will be a great game so my advice to you, the people in or near Old Fort, is to come over to the school gym Saturday night and see one of the hardest fights that the team will have to face his year. This was postponed from Nov. 1 to Nov. 2, so keep this in mind. Halloween Party Held Saturday ■ 0 A Halloween party was held in the Cherry Springs Community building Saturday night.

Bowman of Marion Route 1, with the assistance of O’Daii Poteat, replaced his terraces last week, as they plowed the land for small grain. S. E. Bingham of Old Fort, Route 1, reworked his terraces recently and planted the field across the road from his home in Austrian winter peas. These men say it is folly, how ever, to build terraces and not maintain them. The effectiveness of well constructed terraces de pends on their being properly maintained and farmed after con struction. Soil-conserving farm ing practices are required for the most economical and practical terrace maintenance. Soil improv ing relations, strip cropping con tour tillage, and like conserva tion practices, will reduce mater ially the amount of work neces sary for satisfactory terrace main tenance. W. E. Lonon of Deportsville, community contour drilled in the field across the road from his home last week. Mr. Lonon says each row of grain will act as a miniature terrace around the hill. The grain will also serve as a winter cover crop, thereby ..help ing to protect the land from wash ing. Membership Drive Launched 0 Sunday, October 27, a member ship campaign was launched by a steering committee of the church school of Old Fort Methodist church. Membership of the school has been divided into two groups, the Blues and Golds. Mrs. T. R. Kanipe is chairman of Golds, and Sidney Bryson of the Blues. Paul Farmer, a Marine, award ed a building lot by Sudbury Pest 191 of The American Legion at North Sudbury, Mass., was, found through the efforts of the- na tional organization so he could be presented with the deed.
