TRY THE TIMES WANT AOS When you think of prescriptions, think of VARNER’S, adv. Knee Surgery Not Hampering Former Blue Devil Ron Banther N. C. State defensive end Ron Banther, former Brevard Blue Devil grid great, was walking three days after knee surgery, but he has progressed far beyond that now. The Wolfpack, Astro Bluebonnet Bowl co champions last year and owners of a 9-2-1 record, began spring football practice this week for a fall schedule that reads like the Murderer’s Row of old time baseball fame. "The doctor took some torn cartilage from my right knee back in January,” the Brevard native explained. “But I was walking in three days and they okayed me to start working out pretty soon after that. ‘‘I didn’t want to miss spring ball, so I tried to strengthen it as soon as I could.” Noted for his aggressive play, the six-foot, 185-pounder, son of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Banther of Brevard, is par ticipating in all 20-practices of spring drills. He plans to take part in the scrimmitges and annual Red-White football game April 18 at Carter Stadium at full speed. Banther and his Wolfpack teammates will be preparing for an 11-game schedule which opens Sept. 6 against East Carolina in Raleigh. Wake Forest and Florida will visit Carter Stadium the following two weeks. State will meet one of the favorites to grab the Big 10 title when it plays at Michigan State on Sept. 27. Another Big 10 foe, Indiana plays in Raleigh the next Saturday. State the next four weeks plays at Maryland, hosts North Carolina, plays at Clemson, and hosts South Carolina in its final home game. The Wolfpack then meets Penn State and Duke on the road to conclude the season. Wildlife Afield : BY JIM DEAN pome 20,000 telephone calls <ve been made each year ifcce 1967 in a survey of dove Anting in the Southeast, some (them with unexpected and musing results. it was all part of a mourning jve study being conducted ider the Southeastern ^operative Fish and Game atstics Project originally prted by Paul Geissler of the I C. State Institute of atistics. The project was Sleeting information for the ih and game departments of |veral states, including Drth Carolina. rhe telephone survey has rnlshed valuable ta rnation, and most of the ne 20,000 people contacted phone each year have been Ipful and polite. But over the years, some imorous situations occurred | a result of bad timing, ^understanding and ritation. “A group of girls did our c lUng for us,” said Dave 1 imer, also of the Institute of f atistics at State where the s rvey was conducted. “They i ade a standard introduction ti each caller, then asked for formation,” n calling, the girls introduce the project statement something *Dial A Dove9 Plan Got Wierd Reactions you mind answering a tew questions for us?” Although considerable in formation was gathered which is being used in the proper management of dove populations, some of the calls brought strange reactions. One Tennessee dove hunter stated that he would not give any information to anyone from North Carolina. In contrast, another man called back to report that he had run over a dove and killed it. One call apparently in terrupted a wedding. Several times, it was obvious that the caller had interrupted a TV program at a critical moment. For example, the Louisville Courier-Journal published an account of one telephone in terviewer who called on New Year’s Eve interrupting the Dallas-Green Bay football game. Mr. J. Earle Bell, who answered the call, missed the Green Bay’s winning touch down in the final 13 seconds of the game. Chances are he was irked. Turner’s callers kept a list of some of the other in teresting reactions and has agreed to let us pass them along to you. ■ <: - “Did 1 hunt morning stars?” “Whose husband died last season?” , “You have the wrong number. We don’t have any of that kinda stuff around here.” “Daddy isn’t here; are you his girl friend or something?” “Hunt doves. Yeah, I’ll hunt doves with you." “Do you realize you are calling Rhode Island?” “It’s Just me and my man living here and we’re too old to do anything. He’ll be 93 come April 5th and I’m 86. And I still do all my own wash. “I don’t taunt doves, just blondes.” “You old stinker. You’re es big a joker as your husband. All we hunt is bedbugs around here.” “Don’t have time right now. I have to take my mother to the hospital.” “My ex-husband used to hunt them, but he doesn’t live here anymore, thank good ness.” “Yeah, he went hunting, but not in the morning.” “No, nobody in this house hunts doves. Nobody in this house does anything.” “Nope, nobody hunts no doves 'round here. I kilt one, but he wuz in the corn stack eating the corn, and I kilt him with a ear o’ corn.” “Am I on Candid Camera?” “I’m sorry, he’s on the commode.” “Here, I’ll let you talk to my wife. She knows more about soap than I do.” “Did you say, ’was I in season?’ ” “Do they want me to be at the town hall tomorrow night?” “I am just a daughter. I am not a mother or father or anything.” “Does my husband grunt?” “He just carried the slop out to the hogs — call back.” “I’m not interested in door openers. What in the world are door openers?” “Are you ca^ng from the funny farm? 1 may have hit a few with my car or my tennis racket. Do they count?” “No, my husband couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn if he was laying on it.” “No, we don’t have any dogs. We don’t have any morning glories either.” “Daddy, telephone . . whoever it is, they’re real politer_ Miss Gwen Owenby was recognized for her work as chief cheerleader of the BHS varsity cheerleaders. Individual plaques were awarded to all three students honored, and their names are engraved on the appropriate permanent trophies given to Brevard High School by the Lions Club. Dangerous To Eat Lake Jocassee Fish Mercury Level High Brevard’s bassers held a tournament at Lake Jocassee on Saturday, March 15. It was another embarrassing episode for the 21 Hawg Haulers as only seven men caught 37 lbs. 13 ozs. of bass. All except two large fish were released alive. Don R. Howell won 1st place on his only strike of the day, by landing a real sowbelly of 7 lbs. and 6 ozs. Mike Baynard, for the third tournament in a row placed in the top three; this time with 6 lbs. 12 ozs. which was good for second place. Third place went to Randy Morgan with 6 lbs. 10 ozs. Randy caught the second largest fish of the day, another pot belly of 5 lbs. Cecil Lance got the Horses Tail for his single 2lb. bass. Although fishing was very slow, the bass that were caught were all healthy and scrappy. Most were caught on deep running plugs and worms. By the middle of April Jocassee should be red-hot. There will be a lot of large bass taken from that clear water this spring. The South Carolina Wildlife and Marine Resources Department has found Jocassee fish to contain dangerous levels of mercury. According to the Department, the mercury contamination is caused naturally by the soils of the area. They are continuing the study on this problem, but caution fishermen not to eat any of their catch until further notice.
