P$RT PAGE Edited By John I. Anderson Rambling With The Sports Editor MAKING IMPROVEMENTS . . . C. F. Misenheimer, city street superintendent, gets the bouquet of the week for the work he is doing and having done at the Brevard country club. Mr. Red didn’t like the looks of the “roughs,” so he set to work immediately after the town took over the maintenance of the course and is doing a marvelous job cleaning the creek banks, the marshes adjacent to the links and the other rough spots. Yesterday he stated that he will make other improvements with a little time. Incidentally, the golf course is a mighty popular place, and during the past week, a goodly number of women and children have been playing. NICE JOB . . . While we are congratulating, we’ll keep our bou quets in the same family and toss one to Weldon Misenheimer, better known as “Micv,” for all the work he has done in keeping the Brevard Municipal pool open. Of course, many other legionnaires and others have been instrumental in the successful operation of the pool, which closed this week, so we'll say “nice going” everybody and hope that again next year the town and the legion can operate the pool free to the public. FREE PASSES . . . Some of the Brevard Blue Devils asked us to publicly thank the management of the Co-Ed and Clemson for j the free passes to the shows that the team members get each week end during the fall season. So it’s thanks to Managers Carter and Shiflet, and we can truthfully say that the boys are most appreciative for what you do for them each fall. These gentlemen also make it possible for readers of this column to get—or win—a number of tickets each week in our annual fall football contest, which will be started pretty soon now. So. it is thanks, Dick. Bryan and Ben, all the way round. SPEAKING OF FOOTBALL . . . The 1951 season is just around the corner. All this week the Blue Devils are working out during the morning and evening hours down at Brevard high school and the squad looks mighty good to us. There are a few new faces on the gridiron, and we’re happy to see Marshall Teague assisting Coach Dail. Marshall did a swell job of coaching at Waynesville last year, and we’re happy to have him back in the Ole Hometown fold. DEPENDS ON THE WATER “Now,” said the demonstrator of an electric egg cooker, “you put in one teaspoon of water for each minute you wish the egg to cook. Does everyone understand?” Mrs. Newlywed spoke up: “Is that level or heaping?” j PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS 2S (tZfft'lf BOX OF 3 TABLETS $|35 BOX OF 1 3 TABLETS Y A RDLEY ; OLD ENGLISH LAVENDER SOAP } l KNOWN THE V/ORLD OVER FOR ITS CREAMY, SOOTH ING AND FRAGRANT LATHER ^ ' 1!"v v lur,s ,m America are created in England and famh:J ,B lh' U S A from the or.gmal Engluh formulae, combining imported and dometti< ingredient* MACFiE’S DRUG STORE “The REXALL STORE” MORAVIANS ARE IN SESSION AT THE MUSIC CAMP Next Week Three South Carolina Bands Will Be At Transylvania The 20th annual Young People’s conference of the Southern Prov ince of the Moravian church is now in session at the Transylva nia Music camp here. Approxi mately 100 young people from Winston-Salem and other North Carolina towns where there are Moravian churches are attending this 1951 session. Rev. James C. Hughes, of Win ston-Salem, is dean of the confer ence, which has as its theme: “Je sus Christ Is Lord.” Most of the conference staff members and leaders are from Winston, with several students at the Moravian seminary, at Bethlehem, Penna., attending the conference. Next week Transylvania will hold a “band camp” for approxi mately 200 young South Carolina band students, who will arrive on Monday. Three bands, under the direc tion of Benjamin L. Watkins, band director at Lancaster, S. C., will spend the week here in practice and maneuvering for the next foot ball season this fall at their re spective high schools. Mr. Wat kins has spent the summer at Transylvania Music camp as an in structor during the camp season, and as a member of the festival orchestra during the sixth annual Brevard Music festival. JUST BAD MANNERS A youthful mountaineer was brought into court and sentenced for breach of the peace. He had been feuding and had knifed his adversary. After the trial his griz zled old father stood with a group of his cronies on the courthouse lawn. “I swear,” he said. “I don’t see whar that boy gits his mean ness. Now you take me, I never stuck a knife that deep in no body.” 1951 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE BREVARD BLUE DEVILS September 14—Sand Hill at Sand Hill.

Brought to you by the Ecusta Paper Corporation “Your Friendly Neighbor” "All-Stars” Of Little League Are Chosen By Team Managers Well-Balanced Aggregation J Selected. Complete List Given By STAFF WRITER The 1951 “All Star” team of the Elks “Little League” would be a pleasant sight for any prospective American Junior Legion team manager. The Brevard team of this, the first season, is well balanced with pitching, fielding and catching ability. Just as in the case of most “All Star” selection, there is always room for plenty of spec ulation and second guessing on the part of various individuals. But overall, it would be difficult to improve on this year’s team here. The youngsters chosen should feel proud of their achievement and it should serve as an incen tive for them to intensify their efforts to improve themselves as the season goes by. The team, chosen by the mana gers of the teams, is as follows: First base—Doiyle Enloe, Pis gah Forest. Second base—Jimmy Hubbard, Gallamore Hill. Shortstop—Weldon English, Pis gah Forest. Third base—Charles English, East Main. Shortfield—Harry Byrd, Pisgah F orest. Leftfield—Burrell Cline, Galla more Hill. Centerfield — Bobby Stewart, East Main. Rightfield—Jackie Thomas, Pis gah Forest. Pitcher—Leon Gravley, Main Street. Pitcher, Leon Howard, Pisgah Forest. Catcher — Tommy Cabe, Main Street. Manager—Hugh Bradburn, Pis gah Forest.

What’s miss ing?” Sets Age Record jnuunt , a wmte rersian cat celebrating its 25th birthday in Al bany, N. Y., is believed by local veterinarians to be the oldest cat in the world. The pet has been owned by Miss Mary C. Ellis since 1926. Experts say that “Snooky” could be compared to a human be ing 175-years old, since the average cat lives 8 years. (International) IDLE CONVERSATION Seated next to each other on the train, the two strangers re mained silent as the train traveled mile after mile. Suddenly one of them, an old codger, turned to the fellow at his side and shouted. “Blast it. I know I’m getting deaf. You’ve been talking to me for half an hour, and I haven’t heard a single word you’ve said in all that time!” “Take it easy, mister,” said the other fellow. “I’m chewing gum.” TRY TIMES WANT ADS! ECBSTA WINS AS LEAGUE ENDING j . Will Play Away On Satur day. Tryon Comes To Plant Field Tuesday With four more games on the 1951 schedule, the Ecusta baseball ers in the WNC Industrial league ! have been pulling one upset right after another as the teams enter the home stretch.
