Bashetball Going Strong

Doug Tate reported recently
that up to that time Anvil Brand
had played five basketball games.
He couldn’t recall the score in
four of them but he recalled eas
ily that the score in the game
with Marsh Furniture was 63-32
in favor of Anvil Brand.
The four other games just hap
pened to be contests in which the
Anvil Brand boys were beaten
by lucky opponents and it is
quite understandable that Doug
didn’t bother to remember those
scores.
Seriously, Anvil Brand’s bask-
^ etball team is having a lot of fun
playing in the Industrial League
and probably could be spurred
to greater heights by a good
Anvil Brand rooting section.
Wednesdays’ at 7 p.m. is the time
and the Y.M.C.A. is the place so
if you can get away from home
for an hour or two next Wednes
day, stop at the “Y” and see some
good basketball.
David Moore currently is the
top scorer on the team but the
six other members of the team
also are doing their share of good
playing.

Drive Safely! Did you know
that when a car is going 60 mph
it can’t be stopped completely
under 264 feet! That’s twice the
distance between home plate and
second, and 12 feet more.

catching them says mice perfer

At least 20 manufacturing com

up $200 million sales in 1953 —
almost double the sales of 1947.

HISTORY OF The game / f A
A FAMILY AFFAIR—When Shirley Ann Leonard, above, was
snapped b the Sew It Seams photographler last week, the idea
was just a picture of a pretty granddaughter visiting adoring
grandmother Ila Leonard at Anvil Brand. However, further
investigation revealed that Shirley Ann probably has the dis
tinction of the most relatives working at Anvil Brand. Just a
few of her close kin include Roy Rickard of Traffic, a great
uncle; Rosa Wilkerson, a great aunt; Frances Workman, a
great aunt, Blanche Slits Leonard is Shirley Ann's mother and
formerly worked at Anvil Brand. This picture turned out to be
a special one for Ila, too, as next month she will have been with
Anvil Brand 31 years.
y Program for lllorking Ulomen
To learn, to serve, to grow
spiritually, to have fun . . . these
are some of the opportunities the
YWCA offers women in it’s ac
tivities. There are clubs, which
have programs all year ’round
varying from inspirational speak
ers all the way to costume
parties; there are classes in
sports and handicrafts; and there
are regular programs, such as
monthly book reviews and Bible
studies.
The High Point YMCA is very
interested in having working
women take advantage of its
^ services and activities. If you
know someone who is a “Y”
member, ask HER if joining the
‘‘Y” couldn’t make your life more
enriching. The YWCA would like
to see you coming to its classes
and clubs, and what’s more, the
YWCA would like to have your
ideas about different activities
which you would like included in
its schedule. For the present
schedule, check the YWCA cal
endar in the High Point Enter
prise, and for any questions or
suggestions call 2-1613.
The YWCA staff is there to serve
you.
Never underestimate the buy
ing power of Mr. John Q. Bread
winner! Seven out of ten men
shop in food stores at least once
a week — much oftener than
they did five years ago.

The world’s most curious thing
is a woman who isn’t.
Man who says he’s researched
the subject, reports that there
are 45,000,000 families in the
U. S., and that only three percent
have dishwashing machines.

noise, but you can hear a knock a
