Mr. O’Connor is past district commander and is active in civic work in Black Mountain. a ne uwen «ign gridders have been working hard this week in preparation for their game on Fri day evening at Memorial Stadium with Lee Edwards. This will be a home game for the locals. Last Friday evening at Hender sonville the Warhorses lost a hard fought Blue Ridge conference tilt to the Bearcats, 18 to 7. Two long runs by Bob Elliott, 210 pound Hendersonville captain, decided the contest, and the margin of vic tory. The Bearcats sent Elliott on runs of 66 and three yards in the first quarter and made it 18 to 0 when the same back romped 56 yards early in the second per iod. The veteran Warhorse line rose up to put a stop to the foolishness for the rest of the game as they threw back the highly touted Hen dersonville forwards with regular ity. They rushed through to block two punts and hurried the kicker so much that not a single extra point was made. Don Wright, senior Owen back, scored as the climax of a 93 yard drive late in the fourth quarter. After Owen had stopped the Bear cats deep in their own territory, Arthur Clayton took a handoff on the seven and stepped through a broken field for 49 yards. Several times it looked as if he’d get away —Turn to Page 8 Pearsall Plan To Be Explained At PTA Meeting Mrs. Olin Dillard, chairman of district No. 1 of the North Caro lina PTA, will discuss the Pear sall Plan at a meeting of the Owen High School PTA tonight (Thurs day) at the school at 7:30.

According to the eye-witness the child had started to cross from the south side of the street to the school ground near the west en trance to the ballfield when the car, traveling at a high rate of speed, roared down on him from the west. “That little boy will make a good football player some time, if he lives long enough, be cause he had to use all the energy and speed he had to prevent being hit,” the man who witnessed the event said.

Voters To Decide Amendments In Stale Election Voters will decide on four pro posed amendments to the state constitution on Saturday, Sept. 8. The first would increase the Pay of members of the General As sembly, the second would make it legal to start the legislative ses sion in February, and the third would authorize a married woman to execute a power of attorney conferred by her husband. While these are important, most attention has centered around the fourth amendment, the Pearsall Plan, which would authorize the General Assembly to provide edu cation expense grants for private education. Gov. Luther Hodges and other state leaders have endorsed the plan as “An effort to preserve the North Carolina Public School Sys tem.” Chief opposition has come from educational groups and church leaders. The following questions and an swers, taken from a booklet issued by the Governor’s Committee For the Public School Amendment” give highlights of the proposed amendment. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Why should we amend our State Constitution ? A. It is necessary to amend the N. C. Constitution in order that the State legislature can pass the necessary laws to protect the peo ple against unacceptable mixing of the races and thereby assure public support of schools. What are we voting on? A. The people will decide wheth er they want to authorize the General Assembly to provide edu cation expense grants for private education. They also will decide whether they want the closing of any school to be decided by the people on the local level. In other words, the smallest school unit could make the decision. If the people approve this pro gram will my child be forced to attend school with a member of another race? A. Emphatically No. Is this an effort to defy the U. S. Supreme Court? A. It is not defiance. It is an attempt to stay within that decis ion, even though a great majority if our citizens disapprove the Su preme Court’s ruling. —Turn to Page 8 : Booster Club To Elect Officers On September 18 Dick Stone, president of the Valley Booster club, has called a meeting of the entire organization for Tuesday night, Sept. 18, to dis cuss issues vital to the welfare of the school.

Posts and wire fencing define the boundaries of these “islands,” where the children are safe from passing traffic while waiting for transportation, or af ter getting out of cars.
