Taylor was the principal speaker at the luncheon meeting of the Optimist club in the George Van derbilt hotel in Asheville Thurs day. He discussed the legislative program to be followed by Bun combe county representatives in the North Carolina General As sembly. “The most pressing item on a crowded legislative agrenda deal with health and better roads,’’ Mr. ■Taylor declared. “It is imperative that we do more for our state in stitutions.” Absolute Minimum Continuing his talk, which was broadcast over Radio Station WNCA, Mr. Taylor said, “the State Board of Education has re quested $123,000,000 for public schools during the next biennium, which would give our teachers a 20 per cent increase in salaries. I favor taking this as an absolute minimum and giving as much more as possible.” 1 Mr. Taylor emphasized the ne cessity of more trade schools and industrial education in the state, and said he favored appropriations for their establishment and sup port. Quoting figures recently made public by tne North Caro lina Good Health association, he said that funds to bring about pro per health conditions in the state should be authorized by the legis lature. “Long ago,” he said, “we de cided that the education of our children was a matter of public concern. I regard the health of our 1 children as deserving the same consideration. Will Let People Know “It is our desire to take the peo ple of Buncombe county into our 1 confidence fully concerning pend- 1 ing or proposed legislation, to let you know what we are doing and to encourage your advice,” Mr. Taylor said.

The game was played at Sand Hill. Neither team had been defeated in county competition prior to Friday and a record crowd was on hand to see the battle between the two leaders. Willis started the fireworks for the Darkhorses in the first period by tossing the pigskin 45 yards into the waiting arms of Turtter who stepped across for the first tally. When Reese hit Turner for the extra point, the count was raised to, 7-0. Early in the seebnd quarter Sand Hill put on a sustained drive, which carried them over the final marker. They got their opportunity when they intercepted a Black Mountain pass and a few plays later “Fireball” Dixon went over for the score. The conversion fail ed. Some of the hardest football of the afternoon was played in the third quarter which was a hard brusing affair from the first whistle. Neither team made a serious threat and the defense as set up by both teams was out standing in this period. The Darkhorses got their op portunity for the game-winning touchdown as the result of a blocked punt in the fourth canto. Morris blocked the kick and Cap tain Brittain rocovered and raced 30 yards for the touchdown. There was no further scoring and when the horn sounded to end the game Captain Brittain was lifted to the shoulders of his team mates and carried from the field.
