SP©«T PAGE Edited By John I. Anderson Rambling With The Sports Editor ■■ ■■ - .. - MORE FOOTBALL TALK . . . We are getting only a small amount of comment from college authorities regarding a Tornado football team at Brevard college next fall. Since Brevard high school turns out many good players each year and only a small percentage of them go off to college to play football, we feel that they would be quickly attracted to the local institution, if a grid team were in the offing. With this group as a nucleus, the college could build a team capable of giving competition to other junior colleges or prep schools in the area. And local people would certainly turn out to watch home town boys play! A football team at Brevard college would also attract outstanding players from Hendersonville, Canton, Wraynesville and other nearby towns, who seem to be ignored now by other colleges and universities of the state. We know it costs a lot of money to have a football team, but we also know that football can make money for a school and at the same time attract students. As to the initial invest ment, we have every reason to believe that Duke, Carolina and pos sibly other schools would give Brevard college uniforms, etc. Let us hear from you, Sports ... BASKETBALL OR BOWLING? . . . During these wintry days and evenings, activity in the sports world around these parts is con fined to the basketball court or the bowling alley. And there’s plenty going on in both sports. Rosman, Brevard and the Tornadoes all have games this week end, and most any time you want to bowl, you can drop down to the Brevard Bowling Center. T. T. Loftis is doing a fine job with his new alleys, and league play is a lot of fun to watch. Speak ing of basketball, Coach Fitzpatrick’s boys are currently going to town . . four in a row . . . and we like the way Mack Bridges and Frank Nesbit are dropping in those baskets. Might attract some attention our way. If you want to see. a good game, go down to the college gym Satur day night and watch the Tornadoes and the Spartans in a return battle. It’ll be a honey! Brevard College Is Seeking Fifth Straight Win Saturday I Spartanburg Is Opponent. Tornadoes Nosed Out A-B Last Tuesday Brevard college’s Tornadoes will be seeking their fifth straight vic tory when they meet Spartanburg here Saturday night in the college gym. The game will get underway at 7:30 o’clock, and townspeople are especially urged to attend. This is a conference game, and the Tornadoes will also be seeking revenge from a three-point loss to Spartanburg earlier in the season. The Spartans nosed out the Torna does 69-66 at Spartanburg in that game, and Coach James Fitzpatrick feels his boys can win if they play the type of ball they have been playing in the past four games. Tuesday night Brevard trounced Asheville-Biltmore at Enka by the score of 71 to 62. Mack Bridges, who has been leading the Torna does in recent games, dropped in 25 points, and Frank Nesbit was also a big factor in the victory with 21 points. In addition to Bridges and Nes bit, other big guns in the wins of the Tornadoes were: Harold White, Don Malcolm and Don Justus. Ed Trivette has been playing nice de fensive ball, Coach Fitzpatrick de clares. Besides Asheville-Biltmore, oth er teams suffering defeats recent ly at the hands of Brevard were: WCC Jayvees, Horse Shoe and Warren Wilson. »-■ — ———— Brevard High Schedule Basketball 1953-’54 < —----—■— --- ■* Jan. 29—Mills River, there.

The supper which was sponsored by the P-TA at Quebec school on | Tanuiry 15th, was a great success in spite of the bad weather. We ex pend our appreciation to every one that attended and helped in mak ing it successful. After the supper J. A. Glaze ner gave a very interesting talk on community development and at that time the people voted to or ganize a community development :lub, with the following as officers: Bud Sitton, president; Paul Fisher, vice president; Ruby Welyczko, sec retary and treasurer and Virgie Fisher, reporter. We are looking forward to seeing many improvements take place in our community. The Community Depends On Wages The purpose of the Congress of In dustrial Organizations is a simple one. CIO wants to provide a better and more abundant life for industrial workers through peaceful collective bargaining. Recently, the Atlanta Journal pub lished a map of the United States, showing the wages of workers state by state. That map showed that where there was a high degree of organiza tion wages were high. It also showed that where the workers did not en gage in collective bargaining, the wages were low. Experience has prov en that the best and most productive relationship between management and workers is attained through collective bargaining. CIO has improved the liv ing standards of millions of people. Gains for Union members have con tributed to the economic well-being of many towns and cities, as the increas ed earnings of wage earners have poured out from pay envelopes to the merchants, grocers, butchers, doctors, dentists, druggists and into the whole of the community. Bank deposits have increased as well as the collection plates of the church, and donations to the Red Cross and other community services. In a small Georgia town where the CIO was helping the employees of a mill organize a Union, a survey was made among merchants and business people to learn their attitude toward the Un ion. One merchant in that town ex pressed the general sentiment when he said “Wages from that mill are the economic life-blood of this town. We want the Union here to give the mill’s 500 employees more money to spend. They earn it and need it badly, and they spend their earnings right here in our town.” A Virginia textile management in a huge cotton mill bitterly opposed the Union for many years. The community reflected the viewpoint of manage ment. Finally, the Union was estab lished and a contract was signed be tween the Company and the Union. Three years later, upon renewal of the contract the daily paper, which had opposed the Union’s organizing, said in an editorial, “There can be no doubt that Unionism in this city has enriched the workers and provided them with a higher standard of living and a more attractive life.” CIO gives working men and women an opportunity few of them have had be fore, an opportunity to help formulate policies and make decisions that vital ly effect the welfare of their families and their fellow men. This develops leadership, the type of leadership that can be of great value to the communi ty and the nation. A leadership that has learned the full meaning of de mocracy, justice, fellowship and broth erhood. A prosperous community depends on good wages, regularly paid, and job - security. When wages drop and work ers are laid off you know what hap pens. Cash registers fail to ring. Good wages depend on strong responsible labor unions. Individual workers can not bargain with employers on an equal basis without a strong Union be hind them. Wages are the real wealth of North Carolina. The majority of North Carolina industry may be owned by people living outside the state but the workers are North Carolinians. The profits flow out of the communi ty, but the wages earned by the work ers stay in the community and are spent with local merchants. PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS PEOPLE, SALESMEN, TEACHERS, BAKERS, BARBERS AND BEAUTY OPERA TORS . .. REMEMBER THIS: When wages in your communi ty go up, workers spend it with you and business is good. The sto ry in a nutshell is: WHAT HELPS LABOR, HELPS THE COMMUNITY... FOR INFORMATION WRITE United Papermakers 01 America—CIO BOX 58 ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA (Paid Advertising)
