FRANKLIN HIGH
IS REINSTATED
IN CONFERENCE
?Continued From Page One
"Ike" Olsen, of Murphy, Joe
Sursavage, of Andrews, Lath
am, of Cherokee, and Atkins, of
Franklin.
Coach Atkins, in explaining
Franklin's position said that
he had not forwarded eiigibili y
blanks to opposing teams as he
did not know there was a dead
line. He stated he had the
forms completed except for the
age of one player, which he had
difficulty in obtaining. He a'so
said he had received eligibility
blanks from Sylva and Murphy,
buv that he had not received
them from Robbinsville, Bryson
City, and Andrews.
President Barnwell, Bryson
City coach, said he had not
sent his eligibility slip to Frank
lin, as he had one blank left
ever and he was not sure which
school it should go to. Mr. Sur
savge, cf Andrews, said that
since he received no blank from
Franklin last year, he was
waiting until he did to send his
this year.
Coach Atkins a'so said, in
stating his case, that he felt
that the penalty was too severe.
Ruling Franklin out of the con
ference, he said, not only af
fected the school, but the play
ers, citizens of the town, and
the conference. He added that
"we have a clean house, no in
eligible players, nothing to hide,
and anyone is welcome to do
any checking on us that they
so desire."
Interested citizens from Frank
lin included R. S. Jones, John
M. Archer, Jr., Harry Thomas,
Harley Stewart, Frank Henry,
Jr., and Bob Sloan apoompained
Principal R, G. Su ton and Mr,
Atkins to the jneeting. Several
of these men expressed the
sentiment that the penalty
seemed too severe and that it
did not seem fair to penalize
the boys to such an extent; a'so
that it seemed several other
members of the conference also
had violated the rules and had
not been expelled.
The vote was taken in closed
session, with only the coaches
present, and President Barn
well merely announced the re
sult, not stating how the vo'e
stood. In making the announce
ment, he said that all previous
games will be counted, and
coming games played as sche
duled.
The first announcement of
the expulsion action in An
drews was to the effect that the
vo e there was unanimous, but
Mr. Moses said this week that
was incorrect, since he declined
to vote on the motion.
Mr. Sutton, Franklin Prin
cipal, was notified of this
school's expulsion in a letter
written by Secretary Bell.
The text of the letter, dat
ed November 2, follows:
Thl? it to notify you that
action hu beert taken against
Franklin for not complying
with ruling made September
2, 1948, concerning the ex
change of eligibility list with
each member school and- fil
ing one with the Conference
secretary. This ruling was re
Instated at our first meeting
1949-50. I would like to refer
you to Ai tl:le XI, 8ection 2,
of the Handbook of the Sta e
Association:
"A motion was made that
Franklin be suspended lor one
year for not cooperating wuh
the Conference by not send
ing eligibility list to menuer
s. hools and not filing one
with the Conference sesie
tary, that ail games previous
ly played and to be played
be canceled, that no member
schojl sha'l play Franklin any
game ? basketball or foo ball ?
until the season of basketba 1
1951. This motion was based
on Article XI, Section 2, of
the State Association Hand
book."
This motion was seconded
and carried by a vote of 8
to 0.

Macon County Historical So
ciety, talked on Macon County
history. She began with the
visit of De Soto in 1540, told
of the first trade route In
1740, discussed the battle with
the Cherokee Indians at Echoee
Pass, and explained how Macon
County and Franklin were nam
ed. Miss Jones, who brought
out the fact that Macon Coun
ty is in its 120th year, read a
letter written by Silas Mc
Dowell to the Asheville Citizen
in 1874, which described, among
other things, the high school
here and the mica mining in
dustry in this county.
The speaker urged the club
women to preserve old docu
ments and bl.s of history for
posterity.
Mrs. Gray opened her talk
by emphasizing the need of an
auditorium in Franklin large
enough to accommodate large
groups, citing the fact the dem
onstration clubs have outgrown
the Agricultural building, and
naming other organizations for
which there is no meeting place
that is large enough.
In reporting on the National
Council meeting, Mrs. Gray
s ressed the responsibility of
American women in spreading
democracy, and expressed the
home that North Carolina club
women will sponsor a home
agent from Germany, or some
other foreign country, as North
Dakota is doing. She compli
mented the club women for
sending clothing to war-devas
tated countries and correspond
ing with the women of those
countries.
In this connection, Mrs- Char
lie Houston, president of the
Walnut Creek club, which 1?
sending gifts to a family in the
Russian zone of Germany, read
a latter frond the mother Id
thf family,
Mr?. Carl S. B!a(U, flrat pnt
ldent of the county council
compared the early organization
with the present one, and prais
ed Mrs. Oray for her vision.

the Cowee club; Mrs. J. H.

Mrs. J. R. Ray, council presi
dent, and Mrs. Ralph Brad'ey,
vice-president, welcomed the
group. The devotional was con

l circuit. Bill Mendenhall was

The school board a'so discuss
ed roads to be recommended to
the State Highway commission
for improvement as school bus
routes. On motion of Bob Sloan,
seconded by Walter Gibson, the
board voted to ask the com
mission to put the roads to
Crow Creek, Betty's Creek,
Yonce Creek, and Onion Moun
tain in condition to permit op
eration of school busses over
them. The motion authorized
the superintendent to add such
other roads to the request as
he deemed needed.
Mr. Sloan also raised the
question of whether a road on
Cartoogechaye has been so im
proved as to permit a change
of the school bus route, and
Mr. Houk promised to inquire
into the situation. The board
sometime ago asked for the lm
rjrovements stnd promised a del
egation, to change the bus route
when the road makes that ac
tion practicable.
