Preference Charged After a thorough investigation, Sheriff Slagle expressed the opin ion t that both workers and out siders started the trouble. He said iluit the resentment was directed toward labor union leaders and not toward the construction firm; that contention arose from charges of preference being given to North ern men even tliough they follow ed local men on the union's regis tration lists. On the other hand union leaders said that the North ern men were skilled workers who could not be secured in this section. OUR MODERN FACILITIES provide every known comfort and conveni ence.

The Panthers consistently outgained their opponents on the ground, making 12 first downs to the . Cadet's four, only to be stop ped cold each time deep in Geor gia territory. ' A hasty kick by Hunnicutt, fol lowing a bad pass from ' center, provided the. first Cadet score. The ball travelled scarcely ten yards to come duwn in the arms of G. M. A's Tillery who breezed 40 yards for the touchdown. Anderson, right half-back for the Cadets, added the extra point, and accounted for a touchdown himself in the second period with a 45 yard off-tackle drive. . .'. Tillery added the third score late in the second quarter with a 30 yard end run. Anderson (again converted. Leatherman and Houk shone for for the Red Panthers throughout the game. The team as: a whole demonstrated as much fight and spirit as it has in any game all' season. The Red Panthers wind up . their season here Friday when they meet the highly-rated Canton Bears at 2:30 p, m. on the high school field; The starting lineup for Franklin will probably be : J. C. Cunning ham, LE; J. S. Cunningham, LT; Ashe, LG; iC. Ashe, C; Johnson, RG; Pennington, RT; Leatherman, RE; Hunnicutt," QB ; Te&sier, HB; Houk, HB; and Fouts, FB.

Franklin P. T. A. Hears County Health Nurse Meeting in the school auditorium here Monday afternoon, 60 mem bers of the local Parent-Teacher association heard Mrs. Robert R. Gaines, county nurse, suggest a plan whereby the P.-T. A. here could promote good health both in the home and in the community. "The cooperation of home, school and community is basic in the whole health program," Mrs. Gaines said. After outlining the duties of the county health department, she went on to recommend that the Franklin P.-T. A. set up a health committee "to introduce and in terpret health services."

There are several thousand wholesome, law abiding retail beer establishments in North Car- olina. But there is a handful of undesirable, anti-social outlets that reflect discredit upon the entire beer industry. The Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distribu tors Committee aims to eliminate every anti social retailer, During the past 18 months its "clean up or close up" program, in cooperation with law-enforcement authorities, has forced out of business 133 dealers who refused to operate according to the high standards demanded by public sentiment and by the legalized brewing industry. You can help in this important work by restrict ing your patronage to reputable beer dealers. iND NORTH CAROLINA IIBUTORS COMMITTEE EDGAR H.
