FRANKLIN WINS
AGAIN JUNDAY
Haze I wood To Play Here
Next Sunday; Tight
Game Expected
The double-header scheduled for
last Sunday . afternoon between
Franklin and the Asheville All
Stars was camelled out of respect
for the family of A. L. Leach,
whose death 1 occurred Sunday
morning, and whose home adjoins
the ball park. '
After the Asheville team was
notified not to come-over, a gaane
was arranged with the Otto CCC
boys oiil their grounds, and nine
"fast jnnings were played resulting
in a score of 8 to 3 in favor of
Franklin.
The CCC boys have improved
wonderfully since the beginning of
the season, and are now playing
real baseball. If they, keep going
they are. .going to have .aiy .ex
tremely formidable team within a
few weeks.
Leo .Manly, pitching for Frank
Jin, struck out 14 men, and his
hitting had much to do with win
ning the game'; Russell's base steal
ing was also a feature of the con
test. 1 Franklin Loe To Clayton
The Franklin boys went to Clay
ton Tuesday afternoon and at
tempted a game with only four
regular players in the line-up, thus
uniting defeat, which came to
them good and plenty, the .score
being 15 to 3 in favor of Clayton.
It was a serious mistake to sched
ule this game when it was known
that most of the first team would
be unable to play, and Manager
Mallonee was opposed, to the trip,
but some one had already made
arrangements for the contest.-it
will count in the regular schedule
as a defeat. .
Next Sunday afternoon the local
team is slated for a game with
Hazelwood on the .home grounds
and a large . crowd is expected.
Franklin has played nine game
this season, winning seven, losing
one. and playing to a 0-0 tie in
the other. But they, are up agiitisi
a tough proposition Sunday, ami
it is, incumbent upon the local fan
to turn out in force and help tht
boys along.
Team Elects More Officers
- At a meeting called by Manager
Mallonee last Friday night Dr. R.
M. Rimmer was elected treasurer
and Nathan Pennington head gate
keeper, with Misses Grace Baird
and Ruby Calloway as assistants.
A name for the team was also
chosen, and the organization will
be known hereafter as the Frank
lin Tigers.

The local troop of Boy Scouts,
have been busy for the past few
weeks in renovating and fixing up
the building used for meetings. The
boys have put in some excellent
work and we are justly proud of
the results achieved. A contest was
held for the patrol rendering the
finest service and this was won by
patrol four under the leadership of
Allen Ordway. The members of
the patrol Allen Ordway, Kenneth
Bryant, FVed Houk, Nat Macon,
Wilburn Conley and Dick Angel
had a trip to Asheville on Tues
day of this week where they en
joyed a ball' game, took -supper and
visited a show, the reward offered
for the winning team.
Rehearsals are under way for the
part the troop is to play in the
Annual Rhododendron Pageant in
Asheville next month. The boys
have a very interesting part to play
this year and the practices to date
indicate that "they will put on a
good performance.
It is hoped that instead of the
usual summer camp they may take
a trip to the World's Fair in Aug
ust. The intention on the part of
the leaders is that this .shall be an
educational, 'rather than a camping
trip. All meals will be taken in
cafes and while in New York the
Y. M. C. A. will be made head
quarters for eating and sleeping
with a daily trip to the fair, one
evening spent viewing mid-town
New York and one night listening
to an actual broadcast from Radio
City. v
The outward trip will be through
Shenandoah Valley and west of
Washington, Baltimore and Phila
delphia and the return trip will be
through these cities with ' a day
spent sightseeing in the Nation's
Capital. At least one ot the lead
ers will be familiar with both New
York and Washington having lived
for some time in each place.
It is expected that the trip will
cost each boy about $30 which will
include all meals, entrance to the
fair, sleeping, etc., that is all the
essentials. 1
Many boys want to make the
trip whose parents for various
reasons cannot afford to send them.
Here is. a golden opportunity for
citizens with a genuine interest in
the work among boys to sponsor
one or more of these boys and
send them along. Brother, it's your
opportunity.

Suggestion In Regard
To Mineral Specimens
In view of the increased interest
now being manifested in the min
eral resources of this section, it has
been suggested to The Press by
one of the mineral experts that it
might be well to ask landowners
who find minerals on their prop
erty which they think might be of
value to bring specimens to this
office for examination by exper
ienced men.
The Press gladly adopts the sug
gestion And ', will be. glad to see
that any specimens left are turned
over tor examination to men qual
ified to pass upon their value.
SLIPPING
American farmers received an
estimated $463,000,000 for their pro
ducts in April, a decrease of 5
per cent under the $4,000,000 re
ceived during the same month a
year ago.
Children's Books Needed
For Franklin Library
The librarians of the Franklin
library, Mrs. Frank I. Murray and
Mrs. Thos. J. Johnston, .wish to let
the friends of the library know of
the great need for children's books
especially. An attractive "Chil
dren's Corner" has been arranged
in the front room for the comfort
of youthful readers, but the books
offered them are pitifully scarce
and worn out frorn long use. At
this time when the children are
having vacation many are coming
to the library, eager for something
new to read- Subscriptions to chil
dren's magazines are needed also.
The library' rooms have recently
had a thorough spring cleaning and
attractive re-arrangement A large
reading table, in each room pro
vides for convenient use of maga
zines and reference books. As the
library has no dues, it is dependent
upon the voluntary contributions
of public spirited citizens for new
books and magazines, which are
greatly needed for the library's
service to the community.

I The 1939 Ford V-8 is a beautiful, modern
motor car. Its 85-horsepower engine gives
you economical, well-balanced performance
oVer the entire speed range and the 60
horsepower engine is even more economical
St The structural strength of the Ford car
frame, bracing, axles, body makes not only
for safety, but durability and long life.
3 Ford hydraulic brakes are exceptionally
large and strong in proportion to car weight.
4 The Ford car is stabilized for comfortable
riding. Its springbase, the distance between
front and rear suspension, is 123 inches. Seats
are toward the center, perfectly balanced. The
car does not bob or dip and can have very
little sway.
These four points power, strength, safety,
comfort are by far the most important
essentials in any motor car. They form the
basic value of your investment.
With this solid foundation to build on, the
Ford V-8 has been made beautiful, spacious,
easy to drive. It is richly upholstered and has
all the modern features which add to the lux
nry and pleasure of motoring.
You can see these things when yon take a
trial drive, but do not forget that the
value is in the things you do not readily see
quality of materials, precision of manufacture,
fundamental engineering.
