The annual Sale, sole sup port of the as sociation in Its c a m p ai g n a- gainst tubercu losis, will open Monday and continue until Christmas. In Issuing the proclamation, Mayocr McNeil pointed out that tuberculosis Is the grreatest di sease cause of death among young adults and, because of Us communimble nature, must be recognized as a public health problem. The proclamation follows: Wjhereas, tuiberculosis is a leading cause of death in our (»untry and takes the lives of more young peoq)le. In the pro ductive years from 15 to 35, than any other disease, and Whereas, tuberculosis Is spread from person to peirson and therefore mi^t be recogniz ed as a major pobllc health prob lem, and Whereas, a well-planned pro- am for ihe opntrel of. tubercu- ' iqoMltBeiiiit ikYikiyp’' Wllkeaboro by the Wilkes County Tuberculosis Association, and Whereas, the work of this .as sociation is supported by the sale of Christmas Seals, Therefore, I, the Mayor of North Wllkesboro, do officially desglnate the period from No vember 26 to December 25 as Ghristmas Seal Month and do urge the people of North Wllkes boro to (be generous in their sup port of the Wilkes County Tuber culosis Association by buying and using Christmas Seals during this month. R. T. McNEIL, Mayor. o Your reporter haippened to be at the airport yesterday after noon when four of our local planes returned from the Elkin Air Show. Those flying to Blktn to see the show were Mr. and Mrs. Pat Eller, Mr. and Mrs Cecil Bumgarner, Sam George, Ivan Bauguss, James Wyatt and Clay Pardue. All were enthusias tic about the show and we un derstand that Sam George, flying a Stearman, just about stole the show from the professionals. Nice flying, Sam. Incidentally, we understand there were over ten thousand people at the Elkin show. Proves that the air age Is really moving In the Western Piedmont jrea. I don’t know who 'wrote it but the air show program has a “Brief history of Elkin aviation’’ and one paragraph Is so applica ble to Wilkes county, I should like to (juote It In full “The first flyers (In Elkin) were re garded as adventurers, rather than as forerunners and contrib utors to a comparatively new science, a safe and efficient means of tranaportatlon and a giant industry.” Yes! it’s get ting to be a big buslmss here in North Wllkesboro. For instance; During the past week a cou ple stopped at our atorport en- ronte from New York to Cali fornia. Then there was another B. T. U. to Meet Tuesday Right Baptist Training Union of- the Brushy Mountain Baptist associ ation will meet Tuesday evening, 7:16, with Wllkesboro Baptist church. Harvey T. Gibson, state B. T. U. secretary, 'will (x>nd'uct the meeting. All pastors, B. T. U. of ficers, leaders and others inter ested are particularly urged to attend. o Support Y. M. C. A. Felix Sndflreth flew in from Hickory yesterday, and a pilot flying a new Luscombe plane flew from West Jefferson, N. C.' We are becoming better known, not only in our own state, but over the whole United States by the service rendered visiting flyers by our local operators. We were highly honored this week when Area Activities, Inc. of Chester, South Carolina pass ed Up all the large outfits to have one of the best airplane mechanics In the business, Cecil Bumgarner, come to the Chester airport to Inspect and do major repairs on the company’s planes. It is interesting to know that Sam George, one of the instruc tors at our field, is a farmer at Granite Falls. iHe farms during the week and, teachers local avi ation enthusiasts on week-ends. During the war Sam served as instructor for the AAF at Cam den, S. C. Isaac Eller, a veteran of the Pacific campaigns received his private license this week from Instructor Sam George. The North Wllkesboro airport is a- mong a very few small fields in the state having a Certified In structor on the field. Did you know?

The Ramolers put the game in the bag in the third quarter when they scored three touchdowns In a very short period of time. The game opened with Wll kesboro kicking to Spaita. And on the very first play of the game, ■ ■Sparta (using the old sleeper play) scored a touch down, when Rlzotl threw a long pass to Shepherd who was In the clear and had no trouble at all In going over for the score.

Jack^ChPoee handled , «hr:ban for a first down, and p * Rotbdrt Triplett to H«r Triplett was good for another first down. Groce then carried the ball to Sparta’s 16-yard marker, and on the next play Robert Tklplett flipped a Pa«8 to Ray Triplett who went over for Wllkesboro’s first touchdown. Robert Triplett’s pass for extra point, went incomplete, and the score became all tled-up—Spar ta 6, Wllkesboro 6. The remainder of the first half was a see-saw game, both teams making good gains on the ground and completing pass plays, but neither was able to mark up a score. The half ended with tbe score knotted 8-6. , Opening the second hall, Sper- ta kicked to Wllkesboro. The Ramibletrs were forced to punt to Sparta. Sparta tumbled, ^^kee- ibbro gaining possession of the ball, and then began the Ramb ler touchdown parade.
