Representatives Of Commun.
ity Are Heard At Two
Meetings In Past Week
Although no “concrete” evidence
was presented last Friday morning
or on Tuesday night at meetings
of the WNC Officials association
with representatives of Brevard,
the group has refused to lift the 1
year probation placed on Brevard
following the Brevard-Henderson
ville game, when it was alleged
that local players, coaches and
fans displayed unsportsmanlike
conduct.
Head Coach Wayne Bradburn,
who is also acting principal of the
Brevard high school and president
of the Blue Ridge conference, re
quested the executive body of the
WNC Officials association to drop
the charges against the local school
and the community.
He said he was not guilty as
charged of intimidating the offi
cials and the association has not j
given the true facts. He contended I
that the action of the officials
group was too hasty and that “Bre
vard was tried and convicted with
out being given an opportunity of
being heard”.
He also explained that the of
ficials of the association had a
contract with the Blue Ridge con
ference of which he was presi
dent.
“As such I was not contacted by
the officials association nor was
I contacted or given a chance to
be heard as principal of Brevard
high school in which capacity I am
now acting,” he declared.
Mr. Bradburn explained that he
was concerned with the situation

Program Highlights
Last Games Of Dodgers Schedule
Set This Week End Over WPNF
As the '56 baseball season comes
to a thrilling finish this week end,
Bobby Hoyle, WPNF station mana
ger, urges all sports fans to keep
their dials at 1240 and hear the
exciting Brooklyn-Pittsburg games.
“It will be a fight right down to
the wire, and WPNF is mighty
happy to have brought the Dodg
ers’ games this year to Transylva
nia. We sincerely appreciate the
fine support of sponsors and look
forward to another season,” he con
tinued.
Again this Saturday afternoon
"WPNF will carry another exciting
football game. A play-by-play de
scription of the Carolina-Oklaho
ma contest will be carried. Since
the Brevard - Asheville game con
flicts with the college schedule, it
will not be aired. Mr. Hoyle says
it would be impossible to broadcast
the high school game anyway, due
to the fact that there is no electri
cal power on the Asheville field.

coming week is as follows: Friday,
American Legion auxiliary; Mon
day, Mathatasian club; Wednesday,

000 square feet of factory floor
space, he said.
It is anticipated that production

ions of Olin Mathieson corpora

per for the carbonizing paper in
dustry and other specialty light
weight papers.
