Last Home Game of Season
The Tryon-Slaluda gridders will
play their last home game of the
season on Friday, November 10th,
when Valley Springs high comes
to Harmon Field. The strength
of the visitors is unknown with
the only indication being the game
which was played with Swannanoa.
Both Tryon and Valley Springs
were defeated by approximately
the same score. This points to
an even contest which the locals
are expecting to turn in their di
rection. The Tryon-Sialuda team
will be in first class condition due
to a rest over the weekend and
will be ready to end the home sea
son with a victory. A new type
of offense which is more open and
tricky will be used against the
visitors and should be more inter
esting to the spectators.
A drive is being staged by the
athletic association to have the
largest crowd of the season on
hand and everything is being done
to end up the year with a viotorv.
As a special inducement ladies will
be admitted for ten cents. Cars
can be parked entirely around the
playing field for the benefit of
those who do not wish to get out.
The game stai'ts at three-thirty
and will be over by four forty-five.
Everyone is urged to support the
team and attend this final game.

Mayor’s Proclamation
With Europe at war, the Ameri
can Red Cross is confronted with
tremendously increased responsibi
lities, and this year it is redoubling
its appeal to the American people
for support in the battle against
human suffering.
During the past year we have
been drawn closer to the Red Cross
through its far-flung disaster re
lief, its aid to the innocent non
combatants of war, as well as
through its daily services designed
to stamp out misery in the form
of disease and the ever-piesent
threat of accidental death.
Those of us who have seen the
Red Cross grow in recent years
and realize the great demand the
European situation places on it,
can understand the need for a
great membership increase. The
natural phenomena of disaster and
the dangers of a mechanized age
continue to be the source of suf
fering and accidental death. We
must recognize that the ability of
this great organization to serve
is directly proportionate to the
membership support of the public.
This year’s .appeal of the Red
Cross for your "support will be
made November 11-30. Our com
munity has never failed to respond
to the Red Cross call for assis
tance; and for this reason, I feel
confident that we shall be proud to
enroll our share of the million
more members.
As Mayor of Tryon, I designate
this period as the time all members
will have an opportunity to renew
their affiliation and to afford those
who have not enrolled an oppor
tunity to help the Red Cross help
others.—E. E. Missildine, Mayor.
