The Blue Devil grapplers take on Tuscola there tonight in their final regular season match. (Times Staff Photo) r Blue Devil Wrestlers Hand East Henderson 53-6 Loss Coach Frank Robinson’s Brevard High wrestlers started wanning up for the upcoming MAC and sectional wrestling tournaments with a one-sided 53-6 win over the East Henderson wrestlers at the BHS gym Tuesday night. The win was the thir teenth of the season for the Blue Devil grapplers as op posed to only one loss. Brevard had the East Henderson team in trouble from the opening match when “Chuck” Weiss decisioned Ray, and poured it on from there. The only win that the Eagles could muster all night long came in the final match when big Albert Capps, un defeated on the season, pinned young James Smith in the heavyweight class. At that point, the Blue Devils were leading 83-0. After Weiss won his decision, Norman Masterson decisioned Fisher in the 107 pound class, and Morris Avery had one of his tougher matches of the year before he decisioned Bishop in the 114 pound class. Mike Owen earned Brevard’s first pin of the night when he took Ernest in the 121 pound class, and James Rahn kept things going with a decision over Gilliland in the 128 pound class. In the 134 pound class Marty Blackwell decisioned Waldroup, and then came two straight pins for Brevard, Garland Powell over Johnson in the 140 pound class and Jeff Brookshire over Pardee in the 147 pound class. The Blue Devil juggernaut rolled on with Todd Aiken taking a decision over Bur zynski in the 157 pound class, and Mike Norman taking a close one from Justus in the 160 pound class. Jeff Norman in the 187 pound class and Clint Cox in the 197 pound class added Brevard’s final points of the evening as both claimed forfeit wins, and then the Eagles finally got on the board with Capps’ win over Smith in the heavyweight class. The Blue Devils end their regular season tonight (Thursday) with a big match at Tuscola. The match was originally scheduled for Friday, but officials of both schools agreed to the switch so that fans wishing to attend both the Brevard-Tuscola basketball game and wrestling match might do so. The big Mountain Athletic Conference wrestling tour nament will be held next Friday and Saturday at Owen High at Swannanoa, and the Blue Devils will be going all out to retain the title they have won for the past several years. Wildlife Defenders To Meet February 7 Silvermont, at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 7, it has been announced by the group spokesman, Ray V. Holland. The annual election of of ficers will be held and reports on various group projects and future plans will be given, according to Mr. Holland. All members are urged to attend. Anyone else who has an in terest in the conservation and better management of Western North . Carolina game, as well as general upgrading of the natural environment, is also invited to attend and join the group. Officers to be elected are chairman, co-chairman, secretary, treasurer, and public relations secretary. The 95-member WNCWDA was organized a year ago to protest what was termed “widespread poaching and spotlighting’ deer.” It has invited all citizens of Western North Crolina, whether hunters, con servationists, or simply nature lovers, to support it in a drive for stricter enforcement of game laws, higher fines and license revocations for violators', and better feeding fqr larger game animals in the public-owned forests. Private landowners also have been invited to join in An important meeting of the Western North Carolina Wildlife Defense Association (WNCWDA), will be held at discourage pie practice. - A forest service access road that was largely used by nighttime poachers and “Spotlighters” has been closed. Hopes are that there will be closings of other roads that serve no real public purpose other than to provide easy access to isolated forest areas for game law violators. - The demonstrated public concern has also strengthened the hands of the Wildlife Protectors. With added backing, the WNCWDA believes the protectors are now doing a better job of catching game poachers. This improvement is expected to continue if the public concern remains as strong. - The WNCWDA has begun work on several projects to provide better teecung tor wildlife. Its volunteers are maintaining a chestnut or chard set out by the Tran sylvania Wildlife Club. It has set out honeysuckle plants and berry plants in the Pisgah National Forest. Other similar projects are planned. - It has obtained U. S. Forest service approval .and has begun work on Ted Seely Memorial wildlife feeding project, expected to be completed in the spring. A further project for 1975 is a drive for better control of loose dogs, a source of much damage to wildlife in the back areas according to Mr. Holland. Full reports on these and other projects will be given at the meeting.

SERVICES The winter season is especial ly busy for members of the Pickpocket profession. Streets and department store aisles are usually crowded, and heavier winter clothing makes people less aware of being bumped and jostled by others. There are a number of ways to protect yourself. Never carry more cash than you absolutely will need. Plan to pay by check wherever pos sible. A lost checkbook is easily replaced. Cash is not. Men should keep their wal- 0 (' lets in inside ,, jacket pockets “ sjji " or hold on to 0 0 them. But- ^ toned pants ^ 0 v pockets pose no problem whatsoever for the talented thief. Cash is best car ried in a front pant leg pocket, however. In crowded areas, women should hold on to purses tightly. They should never be swung loosely by the strap. And the latch should always face in ward. One of the classic ploys used by professional pickpockets is the posting of a sign reading “Beware of Pickpockets.” Un suspecting passers-by invariably read the sign and immediately disclose the location of their wallets or other valuables by reaching to check on them. The pickpocket has only to sit back and watch. Trout Growers Eye Market Sylva — The Southern Appalachian Trout Growers Association at their quarterly meeting heard a proposal from president, Fred Myers to provide refrigerated storage and display space for selling mountain trout at the new Fanners Market planned for Asheville. Over 140 trout growers in Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee and Northern Georgia could have a central distribution point for wholesale sales and widespread distribution East and West via 1-40 and North and South via 1-75 and 126.

Trout growers were encouraged to telephone them at 704-877-3122 for help with detection and treatment.
