Appalachian Hi
Girls Win Trophy
In Area Tourney
The Tri-County Tournament
was held recently in the Appa
lachian State Teachers College
gymnasium. There were 14 boys
teams and four girls teams in the
tournament. Three counties were
represented in the boys games.
These were: Ashe, Avery, and Wa
tauga. The girls cannot play out
of their home county in tourna
ments so they played for the Wa
tauga County Championship.
This is the first time in the
history of Appalachian High that
the girls have ever won a cham
pionship trophy.
The girls of Boone met the
Blowing Rock team Friday after
noon in the opening game of the
day.
Jeanettc Cooke, with 30 points,
and Mary Lee Edmisten, with 16,
wcie bicked up by a trio of close
workir ? guards in giving the Ap
palachian girls a victory over the
Blowing Rock girls. The final
score was 59-23. This moved the
Appalachian girls into the finals
of the tournament.
The Appalachian girls defeated
the Cove Creek girls 41-31 in a
thriller to cope the championship
trophy. The girls' game was a
close battle for the first period
with the teams tied at 9-9, but
Boone moved out in the second
quarter, grabbed the lead and
was never headed.
Jeanette Coke and Mary Lee
Edmisten paced the victory at
tack for Boone girls while Har
mon was the big star for Cove
Creek. The guards of both teams
played well.
Newspapers Get
Most Ad Money
Clemson, S. C., Feb. 27.? The
nation's newspapers receive one
third of all money spent for ad
vertising purposes, members of
the Newspaper Advertising Ex
ecutive Association of the Cara
linas were told here today at the
opening of a two-day meeting.
An advantage of 85 per cent of
the advertising budgets of depart
ment stores goes into newspaper
advertising, said Allen Sikes,
field director of the Bureau of
Advertising, New York.
He said popularity of the news
paper as the most effective means
of reaching the consumer js
shown by the fact that newspaper
circulation is at an all-time high.
Sikes also said there was no
evidence in any part of the n'a
.icli'trsc effect of tcl
eviMfift bn newspaper readership.
Manganese, one of the minor
elements in plant nutrition, is
thought to play a similar role in
animal health.

a crude approach perhaps, but
it worked, and out of such
