PAGE TWO Appalachian High School Winner In Basketball Tourney The Appalachian Blue Devils closed the season in a blaze of glory by defeating Cove Creek High School the most valuable player in the tournament, and the Boone boys received honors by placing M. W. Greene. Baxter Btyan, and Ted Hagaman on the first five of the all-toumment team. The Boone boys finished the season without being defeated by a North Carolina team, and are locking forward to another successful season. VEGETABLE CONTAINERS.

The entire first team of the Boone Blue Devils were outstanding as well as J. D. Miller and Roy March who were sent in as substitutes early in the game Walter Ragan. Baxter Bryan and Captain M. W. Greene finished their careers at Appalachian High by playing one of the best games of the season. The Boone boys' defense was tight throughout the game and the Cove Creek boys found it impassible to score. By winning this game, the Boone 3oys were crowned champions of the Appalachian State Teachers College "A" Club tournament. The Blue Devils had previously beaten Bethel by the score of 46 to 10 and Blowing Rock 49 to 26. This gave the Boone boys an average of 48 points 1 per game while their opponents were ! able to score an average of 16 points : to the game.

Then men in 4-H are to be reclasi s tiled on the same basis as younger men but with special "H" designations. Some will thus be put in 1-A (H). 2-B_(H>. 3-A (H> and similar classes. This procedure, the manpower commission explained in a press release, means that inen "who have no cause for deferment other than age will be placed in class 1-A" There was no indication from selective service or from the war or 1 navy departments as to whether this actually foresliawdows a call to the colors for men over 38, who are tech1 nical'v eligible for military service to the age of 43. Senator Wheeler (D> : and some other members of Congress have urged that single men! ; over 38 be drafted ahead of young 1 fathers, but the army opposes this. Purpose of Order. The chief aim of the new order' lis 1o induce men over 38 to go into | farming. The order provides that I any man over 38 who farms now ori who takes up farming by May 1 shall bo reclassified promptly into the farm deferment class, 2-C if single, and 3-C if married, if lie meets the other farm-deferment qualifications Other men over 38 arc to be put into the regular draft classifications "as soon as possible after May 1." The order did not make it clear whether it would be loo late after May 1 for a man over 38 to get a farm job and a farm deferment. The apparently intended inference was that he ought to do it by May 1, which is roughly the beginning of the heaviest season of farm work. 4 Other Regulations. Four other new selective service regulations were issued last night designed to keep agricultural workers on the farms. They provide: 1. When a man is granted deferment for farm work, local boards have no further discretion" and must keep him deferred. If this makes ttic local hoard unable to meet its quota for the armed serv, ices, the military call "should be left I unfilled." /xuj mull wiui lariu uxptntncK now in other work is to get fanner deferment if he returns to farming before he is notified to appear for induction. 3. A farm worker in danger of losing his deferment through failure to meet production requirements must be referred to the county farm war board and 30 days must be allowed for his placement in another farm job before he can be drafted. 4. County farm boards may request the deferment of farm workers or appeal draft board rulings I if the worker himself or his employ er does not act. SERGEANT TROUTMAN "GETS THERE FIRST" The following, relative to the younger brother of Rev. Edwin F. Troutman, of Boone, is clipped from the Statesville Landmark, hometown paper of the Troutman family: A marine combat correspondent named Samuel E. Stavisky, sends this from somewhere in the Pacific: "A leatherneck Sergeant Major from Troutman, N. C., named Victor Troutman tells the story of how he unwittingly served as an 'advance unit for advance units' during the historic Marine landing on Guadalcanal on August 7. oergearu major 'l'routman hit the beach with the three clerks of his command post staff. Intending to establish the command post about 100 yards behind the front lines, they cut their way through the jungle for more than an hour without coming upon the leading echelon (an arrangement of troops.) They concluded they were lost. Noises to the rear put them on guard. They ducked behind trees, their guns cocked for action. The noises proved to be the advance guard of the leading echelon for which they had been looking. "They had been preceding, rather than following the assault troops." So hurrah for Troutman! Trust Iredell to get there first?no matter what the number of men. ilY THURSDAY?BOONE, N. C. COVE CREEK HI SCHOOL NEWS Two half days were given the last week in February for the rationing program.
