Macon SP?rts Rounds
By J. P. BRAD*
Back in the days of World
War II, the saying, "this is it"
came into being. Well, in this
day and time of football and
conference crowns and the
the like, the term is more than
appropriate, for "this is It" ?
and we mean Friday night.
So, just take out your pencil
stub and jot a big circle around
Friday and out to the side make
notation "BC Day", for the
showdown is coming in on us
fast.
BC is short for Bryson City
in our rather uncouth langu
age, and that high-flying grid
machine, which has jerked the
Smoky Mountain conference
crown out of the hands of the
Franklin High Panthers for the
last two grid seasons, is com
ing here Friday night for a
game that has all the makings
for the battle, of the century.
However, this year the Panth
ers' chances of copping the
Smoky crown are slim indeed,
since they went down that long,
long trail a couple of Friday
nights back in Sylva, but at
the beginning of the season the
lads abandoned all but small
hopes of the crown in favor of
the cry "let's beat Bryson City
this year".
And this column is echoing
Demonstration
Club Meetings For Week
Are Announced
Meetings of home demonstra
tion clubs in the county for the
coming week have been an
nounced by Mrs. Florence S.
Sherrill, county home demon
stration agent. They are as foll
ows:
Today (Thursday) Clark's
Chapel with Mrs. Homer Frank
in at 2 p. m. Franklin Business
vomen at the Agricultural
building at 7:30 p. m:, Mrs. Bob
louston, and Mrs. H. A. Wil
lide, hostesses.
Monday: Sunset club at the
lome of Mrs. Sanford Mann at
1:80 p. m. Iotla and Travelers
lubs meet with the Iotla P. T.
V at Iotla school at 7:30 p. m.
Of
it. LET'S BEAT BRYSON CITY
THIS YEAR.
However, the lads will be go
ing into the game with two
strikes against them, one the
Sylva defeat, the other a psy
chological thing.
The loss at the hands of the
Golden Hurricanes can come
out on the top if Bryson City
manages to dump Sylva (the
two terms meet at the tail end
of the season) and IF the Pan
thers take the starch out of
Br y son. That If Isn't such a
big one either for there were
a lot of us that thougnt Frank
lin couldn't be beat this year.
But, this psychological aspect,
which we figure Is 'some In the
line of a defeatist's attitude, is
going to be something the
Panthers are going to have to
work out themselves. Bryson
has been the thorn in their
side for the last couple of
years and it's Just getting to
be a habit for the team to have
the Panthers in the loser's
corner before the klckoff.
Personally, we think the
Panthers have what it takes to
beat the jinx this year and we
are going to be pulling for a
win.
Just remember .one thing,
boys. If you beat Bryson you're
back in the running far the
crown!
If you lose, well, you'll have
three strikes against you when
you take off for Bryson City
and the "Big Game" next year.
And, in order to win, it will
have to be a team proposition,
everyone of you pulling togeth
er for a common goal? the de
throning of the team that is
causing all our crying towels
to become saturated.
So, we still take up the cry, 1
LET'S BEAT BRYSON CITY!
Now to you fans . . . we
want to see the biggest turn
out in the history of Franklin
football. Win, lose, or draw,
this Friday night's game is go
ing to be a lulu and we
wouldn't want anyone to miss
it.
Let's get behind the Panth
ers and watch them take the
"evil eye" away.
BANG!
Gather 'round smoke pole
artists, lor the time Is here.
Those little things that make
automobile radio aerial orna
ments ? squirrels ? and those
feathered things that make jet
planes seem like slow freights ?
grouse ? are in range and are
inviting a little tilling.
So, go get 'em!

Let's Back The Panthers All The Way
NO'
YOU DONt REGISTER NOW
Here's WHY:
We wouldn't try predicting whether you'll be glad or mad at the way the election
goes, but we can predict one thing for sure: you'll be howling mad at yourself on
Election Day if you find you can't vote because you aren't registered.
Requiring everybody register in advance may seem to you like just a lot of
red-tape and bother. But you should be mighty glad we have such a system? it's
your best possible assurance that every ballot in that box is marked by someone who
is properly identified on your polling place records. ' *"
'!?
Here's HOW:
Considering how vitally important registration is to our
whole system of free and secret balloting, it's a remark
ably simple process. Only a few questions to establish
you are who you say you are? only a few minutes for
the election officials to get the right facts down in the
right place. All you have to do is to find out WHEN
' and WHERE to register.
If you haven't already, it's easy: just pick up the
phone and call the office in charge of elections, or City
Hall, or County Court House. Give your address and
they'll tell you just what to do . . . and where.
Then do it! Don't be left out! And your friends will
appreciate a reminder so they can vote in the most im
portant, exciting election in years.
