BUSINESS MEN TOLD TO GIVE
INTELLIGENT ATTENTION TO
NATIONAL AFFAIRS IN CONGRESS
Issues now facing congress
! should have the intelligent at
tention of every business man in
the nation, W. J. Bird, of Wash
ington, D. C., advisor of the
United States Chamber of Corn
mere^, said in an address here
Friday before the North Wilkes
boro Kiwanis club.
The program was in charge of
E. F. Gardner and Tom Jen
rette, manager of the Wilkes
Chamber of Commerce, present
ed the speaker, whose subject
was "Government Intervention
in Business.'' Mr. Bird poin'ed
out that in the past business
men have been content to dele
gate their welfare in Washing
ton to hired lobbys when their
personal efforts would have
been far more effective. "If we
are to have sound national gov
ernment and if we want to keep
our free enterprise system, bus
iness and professional men must
give time and efforts from the
local level. On account of apathy
much of the freedom once enjoy
ed has gradually slipped from
us," Mr. Bird said.
Issues which the speaker said
are now before congress and need
personal attention from business
men include attempt to repeal
the Taft-Hartley law, minimum
wage act, efforts to socialize
medicine, government expendi
tures and federal aid to educar
tion.
Mr. Bird urged business men
in every community to work as
a team on a local level, and to
be ? enthusiastic supporters of the
freedom enjoyed through the
past years. His address was well
received by the club.
Prior to the program the
club voted to sponsor a float in
the ? Farmers' Day parade Octob
er 13. Dr. J. H. McNeill, dog
show chairman, announced he
had entry blanks ready for en
tries in the dog show to be held
the last day of the Wilkes Ki
wanis Agricultural Fair Septem

that fair premium catalogues
bad been printed and are being
listributed.

NORTH WILKESBORO MAKES GOOD
SHOWING IN LOSING TO HANES
North Wilkesboro Mountain Lions
?1959 edition?were unveiled in a
good game against Hanes high, of
Winston-Salem, Saturday night in
Bowman Gray stadium in JVinston
Salem. Hanes, a class A team,
won the game 7 to 0 but was
hard pressed to win.
Jimmy Duggins ran off tackle
for 26 yards in the second period
for the game's only touchdown.
The scoring opportunity for Hanes
was set up by one of' several
North Wilkesboro fumbles. Had
the Mountain Lions been able to
hang onto the ball the game's re
sult could have been far different.
Five tijnes in the first half the
North Wilkesboro team lost the
ball on fumbles. The Mountain
Lions made valiant defensive
stands to ward off all except one
scoring threat. The Hanes dragons
were stopped on the nine following
a fumble on the opening play fol
lowing the kickoff.
In the third period North
Wilkesboro drove to the 29, where
Hanes held to stop the threat.
Jimmy Moore and Carl Swofford
did a greater part of North Wilkes
boro's offensive play in the back
field.
In the starting lineup North
Wilkesboro had Eller and York at
ends, Gaddy and Soots at tackles.
Forester and Cox at the guard
positions, Stoker at center, Swof
ford at quarterback, Gillean and
Moore at halfback slots and Par
due as the fullback. Substitutes in
cluded Hayes, Pearson, Caudill,
Hudson, Harold, Gaddy and Shook.
Although many of the boys are
young and inexperienced, they
showed evidence of splendid train
ing under Coach Tom Boyette and
Assistant Lott Mayberry and it
was the concensus of opinion
among those who saw the game
against the strong Hanes eleven
that North Wilkesboro made an
excellent showing for the first
contest. North Wilkesboro will
play Mt. Airy at Mt. Airy Friday
night.

BY LONG RUNS BY WILMINGTON
Wilkesboro Ramblers were de
feated 34 to 0 by the strong AA
team of Wilmington high school
in Wilkesboro's first game of the
season, played Friday night at
Wilmington.
Although the Ramblers were
overwhelmed by scoring, the score
did not indicate that the Wilkes
boro team gave the Wilmington
eleven a struggle, especially dur
ing the first half. During the game
the Wilkesboro team rolled up 14
first downs to Wilmington's nine
and completed nine passes to Wil
mington's three.
Wilkesboro received, lost the ball
on a pass interception on the first
play and held Wilmington on the
20. From there the Wilkesboro
team drove downfield to Wilming
ton's ten before losing the ball on
a fumbled lateral. A few plays
later Wilmington's Niven broke
away for 75 yards on one of his
three touchdown runs. At other
stages in the game Wilkesboro
pained much yardage but bogged
down short of scoring territory.
The starting lineup for Wilkes
boro had Edwards and Nichols at
ends, Prevette and Brewer at
tackles, Staley and Story at
guards, Parker at center, Byrd at
quarterback, Triplett and Dancy
at Halfback, Linney at fullback.
Substitutes included Emerson,
Joines, Eller, Phillips, Pearson and
Garwood.
A crowd of 4,000 witnessed the
game.
The .Wilkesboro squad enjoyed a
splendid trip, leaving Wilkesboro
Thursday and returning Sunday.
