Weather Bureau, and that was the
most anywhere in the State. Now,
we told you the weather was un

has Tryon listed as the ideal dry
climate for good health. That’s
why hundreds of people have been
coming here for over 60 years.
Sam Bingham who started com

years ago, says he suffered more
from the heat in summer in Maine

The recreation program in Polk

wide scale in the form of basket

and middle aged are taking part
in the basketball games represent

Green Creek and Sunny View in
Polk County and approximately
25 more from Landrum in Spar
tanburg County.
Some of the participants are so
young that they are playing their
first basketball games. Many of
the players are returned service
men who are enjoying their favor
ite pre-war sport with old friends.
Some old teammates find them
selves on opposite teams now and
others find themselves against old
opponents. The interest in the
sport is keen and the spirit is
wholesome.
In reporting the Adams-Millis
Tryon game the other night the
name of Ray Ward was omitted
through an error. Ray is a form
er Saluda star and shot the winning
points for Adams-Millis by break
ing the tie with Tryon All Stars
when the score was 17-17 after
two play-off periods. These two
teams will meet again Saturday
night in Saluda; and Adams-Millis
girls will play Saluda girls.
(The Tryon-Columbus game on
Wednesday was referred by Jack
