Most of us scoff at something. For many it is the straight and narrow path, such as an avoid ance of the proverb "Look not up?n the wine when it is red." With most it is some restriction which galls. Naturally, young people are the greatest offenders, not be cause they are bad but because they haven't lived long enough to know that there's a lot of common sense in teachings that they think are behind the times. ?ome of them learn late, some never learn. Edwin J. Becker, a young man 0t thirty, was reported in the newspapers recently as having been sentenced in 19*45 to from U to 18 years to the state prison term at Bordentown, N. J. The charge? Signing checks without Jhe preliminary of having de posited money In the bank to cover the amounts. He once was a newspaper man with a good job. He was born in Baltimore, Md., and was gradua ted from high school in that city. He filled successfully a couple of writing jobs on small maga zines, then, nearly ten years ago, he went to New York City with empty pockets. In a couple of weeks he was working on a big New York weekly. On the up and up, you see. He did some free lance work on the side. But he began drinking too heavily i for a young man who yet had' to establish himself. Too heavily for anyone, for that matter. And this led- him to the free and easy practice of writing "bad" checks. So he went to Sing Sing prison for two years. When he got out, he enlisted in the army, but they didn't want a man with his re cord in the particular job he wanted. So he was let out, He went to Canada, ran up a hotel bill and had no money to settlq it with. Three months in jail for that! Later, in Buffalo, N. Y., another bad check incident. And so on to the prison farm where he now remains. Is he a hopeless individual? Well, I am glad to say that he is not He is writing stories and selling thera to the leading magazines. The warden, who say* he is a model prisoner, is his staunch friend. In fact, he has behaved so well that he is eligible for parole. What does he have to say? That's why I have written this column. He says that he has matured emotionally, that he has cured himself^ of the drinking habit, and that' he looks forward to the freedom that you and I have ? and a writing career. And I believe this is going to come to him. His suffering would not have been necessary if he had not scoffed at what some misguided thinkers term "the too straight and narrow path."

App Hi Gridders j Lose to Wilkes The local high school gridders seemed unable to regain last weeks fire as they bowed before a powerful North Wilkesboro eleven. The fighting Grey and Blue team could never muster a serious scoring threat after a first quarter march that ended when the Wilkesboro team held fast on their own 22 yard line. Appalachian's punters fell way below par in the face of a strong down-field wind. ? Friday's defeat opened a 3 game home stand with Croasnore and Hanes of W'naton -Salem coming to Boone on October 15 and 22. With the 1948 campaign standing at one win, one tie, and two losses, the Blue Devils are working this week for their en counter with a revitalized Cross nore team.
