7 vffle
Tha usual howl of delight emitted
from childish throats at the first
mowfall of the season was accom
panied by an accompaniment of sur
£ from the grown-ups vtfen
feathery flakes fluttered down in
Asheboro Wednesday morning. Much
tTthe disgust of the school children
the clouds broke away and the sun
peeped at them instead of the covet
ed snow.
No one recalled a snowfall so early
in the season as on November 14th,
so remembering the slogan, “when
in’doubt, see your lawyer," John T.
; Brittain, dean of the local bar, was
interviewed. The earliest snow re
tailed by this older citizen of Ran
dolph, who has a distinctly historic
turn of mind as well, was on the
evening of November 18th in the
year 1886. The snow continued to
fall until the morning of November
^ 19th and the snow was five inches
deep. The snow remained on the
ground all day of the 19th, but by
nightfall of the 20th, file earth was
again bare of it’s white blanket
That year in 1886 must have been
an unusually hard and cold time for
Mr. Brittain also recalls a killing
frost on the last Sunday morning
of September, which was the 26th.
The frost killed everything left out
of-doors.
With the weather beginning to
stage a show this early in the sea
son, Mr. Brittain prophesies the hard
est winter since 1876 and 1877. It
will be recalled by some who read
an account of the prophesy of the
Seminoel Indians released to the
press in August, that they saw all
indications of the coldest winter for
many years. And, it’s hard to fool
an Indian about the weather.
R. R. Ross, who will celebrare
his 84th birthday the last day of
this month recalls that one Novem
ber during the early 80’s, there was
a snow sufficiently BbaVy to 'break
down the roofs of sheds in Fayette
ville. Mr. Ross was at Fayetteville
attending the Fair and does not re
call the exact date, but it was early
in the month, as he remembers,
probably in 1882.
Fanners coming to Asheboro with
produce on Wednesday morning did
not recall snow having fallen this
early in the season, and while the
exact date of the earliest was not
ret—all agreed it was later than
this date. Great loads of wood were
hauled through the streets, trucks
of coal and loads of kindling-wood
shortly thereafter this snow flurry
-all reminding us of Toti’s “Good
bye to Summer.’"

House Burns While
Family Is Away On
Sunday Eve Visit
The two-story frame house be
longing to Vester Trotter, locat
ed six miles west of Ashefaoro on
Highway 90, waa completely de
stroyed by fire on Sunday after
noon. The family was away from
home at the time on a neighbor
hood visit and the exact origin of
the fire is unknown. It is thought
that the fire started up stairs,
perhaps from a defective flue.
The family had just purchased
their winter supply of clothing and
staple groceries, which were com
pletely destroyed. Neighbors, see
ing flames, saved a few articles
of furniture. It was only by val
iant work that the woods were
prevented from burning also.
There was no insurance whatever
on the house or furniture.

Footballs fans who drive 75
miles or more, to witness foot
ball games win find ample enter
tainment in their home town. On
Friday afternoon at 3:30 on the
Lindley Field, Coach Hart Camp
beD’s fast traveling high school
eleven will bump into a team of
Alumni, composed of former high
school luminaries.
This game will hark back to 1920
when A she boro sent a team to the
gridiron wars. “Red” Underwood,
giiet quarterback of th*t team, is
coaching the Alumni team and after
a week's workout, is sending out
some interesting reports from the
results.
Among the stars that Coach Un
derwood will throw against the coun
ty champions are Odell and Davis
Cranford, John Ward, Jiggs York,
Tom Bowman, Hal Johnson, Stanton
Presnell, Feet Holder, Cy Cranford,
Vance Krvett and a flock of others.
Kelly Johnson, fullback of the
early 20’s will be in the game for
a spell, and Coach Underwood claims
that he will take to the field in an
effort to out-smart Coach Camp
bell, who will call signals for the
high school.
The biggest crowd of the season
is expected to witness the fracas,
and the depleted treasury of the
school athletic association can use
the proceeds to good advantage.
There promises to be plenty of fun
and the local interest centering
around both teams will add charm
and interest to the event.

Roll call for Randolph county and
is planning her drive for member
ship for next week. Encouraged by
last year’s success at obtaining 500
members, Mrs. Parks hopes to in
crease that number in Randolph coun
ty this year. Mrs. Mary Camp
Sprinkle, of High Point, national
field representative for the Red
Cross, was in Asheboro on Monday,
planning with Mrs. Parks for this
year’s campaign.
Especially interesting is the point
that the leaders of this work expect
to make a special drive on pellagra
in this county. The national organi
zation is also majoring on pellagra
control this year, according to Mrs.
Sprinkle.
Mrs. Parks asks the cooperation
of the people of Asheboro and of
the county as a whole in this drive.
She further states that the money
retained in Randolph will be used for
the following three major projects:
emergency illness, children’s aid, wel
fare.

The Study of Kiwanis work, under
the direction of the club’s education
committee, formed the program for
the Kiwanis club meeting, held on
Tuesday evening, which also marked
the first gathering since the time of
meeting has been changed from
Thursday to Tuesday evening.
E. V. Hobbs and W. S. Long con
tinued the program of the study of
Kiwanis work begun at the last
meeting.
Mr. Long brought an outline of the
different committees of Kiwanis and
enumerated some of the objectives
and opportunities for community ser
vice under each heading. This pro
gram was under the auspices of the
Kiwanis Education Committee and
was given to keep afresh the varied
opportunities for helpful community
service which Kiwanis is organized
to foster and encourage. He referred
to the fact that business and educa
tion failed to properly function be
cause sufficient consideration was
not given to the value of human
lives. He closed his talk with the
quotation that “When we leave this
world the only things we take with
us are the helpful things we have
done for humanity.”
Mr. Hohbs followed with an im
pressive talk on the importance of.
the golden rule and pointed out
accomplishments and helpful influ
ences which proper observance of that
rule result in. He showed how that
would wield right influences among
boys and girls which lead them to
right thinking and actions and are
directly responsible for their de

Uniforms From Hamlet Aai

>33 Cattle Arrive
In This County
\re Transferred From Eastern
Carolina Where Pastures
Are Depleted
The ERA laundry, long-discussed
is a probability for Asheboro, be
came a reality Friday, November
)th, and is now running full time
ivith four twenty-four hour shifts
ind on until 11:30 on Saturday
lights. Announcement was made
sometime ago that a laundry would
ie a necessity when the ERA Can
lery in Greensboro began running
in full swing. The Cannery was
started around a month ago and
the uniforms for the workers have
been handled at various private laun
dries. Orders on Friday, however, to
Robert Lloyd, director of relief in
Randolph, to start the Asheboro
laundry.
Machinery formerly used by the
Asheboro Laundry was already in
stalled in the building and ready
for work at short notice. The daily
output of this plant is now 5,000
pieces or about 3,000 pounds. In
addition to the uniforms for the
Greensboro plant, the Asheboro Laun
dry will also take care of the uni
forms used at the Cannery at Ham
let.
The combined laundry for these
two plants will make a rather busy
place of this Asheboro industry,
which will, inturn, furnish work for
a number of people already enrolled
on relief rolls who desire work. As
has already been explained, the em
ployees of this plant must be already
on the rolls of the Relief Depart
ment of the county, or eligible. All
the workers needed for the Laundry
at present are already employed.
Mr. Lloyd will make a public state
ment if additional workers are need
ed.
Randolph county received 315 ad
ditional cattle from the drought areas
within the past few days, which
makes the total number of these
cattle received in Randolph stand
at 533. The latest shipment came
to this section from New Bern when
The plans, so far, has followed the
change of cattle as the pastures were
exhausted. It is not known at pres

Asheboro Defeats ^
Randleman Team
In Game Friday
Several Outstanding Players On
Both Teams Well Supported
Makes Good Game
The Asheboro high school football
team hit their stride last Friday,
defeating Randleman, at Randleman,
by a score of 22-0. The game was
well played throughout, but Asheboro
outclassed their rivals in blocking,
tackling, running, etc. The whole
team stood out, there being no in
dividual stars.
On the second play of the game,
Lamb, Randleman center, passed one
over the head of Mintz, which rolled
behind the goal line. Morgan knock
ed the ball out of bounds, which
gave Asheboro two points. Randle
man kicked out from their own 20
and after a few offtackle plays, Bulls
slid through his own tackle for 23
yards, missing a touchdown by three
yards. On the next play he rammed
it over for the first touchdown, giv
ing Asheboro a lead of eight points.
The try for extra point from place
ment was blocked.
In the second quarter Randleman
passed frequently, and they were
completed frequently, but not enough
for a score. Ralph Bulla and Baxter
Kearns carried the brunt of the bur
den in the first half, while the whole
line stood out.
Randleman opened up with their
passing attack in the third quar
ter, and nearly scored. Mintz threw
one to Pugh, who was clear, which
was good for 30 yards. Early in
the fourth quarter, Baxter Kearns in
tercepted a pass and raced 40 yards
for a score, and Shaw added the ex
