If you want to enjoy budget-beating holiday eating, join the
Easter parade of thrifty shoppers ... to A&P! I don't know
of h better pluce to buy festive foods at everyday prices. And
the variety is so big you'll Ret lots of grand ideas just by brows
ing around. Here are a few I came home with recently:
SMART BUNNY SALAD
Half a peeled fresh pear makes a
honey of a bunny when you place
it cut-side down on snreddfM
greens, insert al
monds for ears
and whole cloves
for features, and
add a ball of
cream cheese for
a tail. Inebrious
served with A&P's ANN PAGE
MAYONNAISE ? the creamy
smooth mayonnaise worn by the
season's bust-dressed salads.
TRIO OF TOPPERS
Because no one hat style suits
every taste, there are dozens of
different Easter bonnets. And be
cause no one coffee flavor suits
every taste either, there are 8 dif
ferent blends of A&P COFFEE
. . . EIGHT O'CLOCK (mild).
RED CIRCLE (medium) and
BOKAR (strong). They're all tops
... all sold in the whole bean,
and Custom Ground when you buy,
just right for best results in your
coffeemaker. So voice your choice
? ? . and rejoice!
BEST NEST
\\ 'ondering how to use all the eggs
the Easter Bunny's going to
bring? Here's a suggestion: Let
the shelled eggs stand in beet juice
till they're blushing prettily, place
each one in a nest of fresh-tasting
A&P CANNED SPINACH, and
arrange around your ham or roast.
EASTER SUNDAE
A very special Sunday like Easter
rates a very special sundae made
like this: Combine cup white
corn syrun, U cup
sucrar and 1 <> tsp.
salt. Cook till
mixture reaches
240> F., or small
amount forms
film ball in cold
water. Remove from heat; add %
tbsp. shortening and f> cups of
crunchy SUNNYFIELD CORN
FLAKES ? stWd exclusively by
A&P. Toss with fork till flakes
are coated, and spread on cookie
sheet to cool. Crumble and serve
on ice cream. Enough for 15 to^20
sundaes. (Store unused topping
in covered jar.)
NO ADMITTANCE
MR. SUN I
? Here's why* Sunlight pene
trates plain, ordinary bottles and
steals away the flavor before the
bottle is ever opened. But NOT
with the amber, flavor-guarding
Orange-Crush patented bottle.
It's designed to keep out harm
ful light rays ?protect the deli
cate fresh fruit flavor down to the
last delicious drop. That's why
Orange-Crush is always fresh tast

M'GINN WINS COVET'D
ALL - STATE HONORS
Only North Stater Placed
On Mythical Team
Bob (Ace) MoGinn, the Western
Carolina T&acher's speed demon
forward, last week won the coveted
honor of bein* named on the All
State basketball squad. He was the
only man from the North State con
ference to be selected as one of the
State's ten tfeet.
A sophomore, McGinn gave
warning at the first of the season
.?s to his scoring abilities .His team
mate, Bob Tate, was then lending
tiie conference in basket ringing.
At midseason, McGinn became the
most dangerous scorer in the North
State loop and while opposing
teams were concentrating their de
fense to stop Tate, McGinn began
edging toward the top.
During the last of the season
McGinn and Tate were running
neck and neck for the individual
scoring honors with Tate ahead by
a slim margin. On Feb. 18, the Cat
made many of the toys being sent.
Schools which have contributed
to the dcive are. Addie, Balsam,
Beta, Cashiers, Cullowhee, Glen
ville, Johns Creek, Qualla, Savan
nah, Sylva Elementary, Tuckasei

BRIEFS - IN DETAIL
(By Bobby Terr^l)
McGinn's Selection On
All-State Is Second
In WCTC History
The selection of Bob McGinn on
the All-State squad marked the
second time in Western Carolina's
basketball history that a Catamount
was chosen on the mythical team.
Jim Gudger, the Cats former cen
ter who is now coaching baseball
at WCTC, turned the trick in 1947.
McGinn is already gunning for
next year. He originated a little
rhyme that we think is very fit
ting for the occasion. It goes as
?follows:
"All-State in '48,
Second time in '49
When Bruce Burteson an&Appa-'
lachian's Jitmg came out of their
P&Suipionship rnatch in the Caro
lina's AAU meet at Appalachian
last Saturday night, the points were
even at 1-1. It was up to the ref
eree to choose the winner. The ref
of this particular match happened
to be Charlie Parks, a student at
Appalachian. He choose the Appa
lachian boy as winner. Is it not
natural for a person to lean toward
his alma mater, for sentimental
reasons if nothing else? No reflec
tion on Charlie . . .
There's an old saying that one
can go by comparative scores in
picking the winner of an athletic
contest. This corner does not al
together hold to that old saying
and we can point out a particular
incident to prove our point.
amounts met Atlantic Christian at
Cullowhee, McGinn hooped 13
points to Tate's seven and forged
ahead to stay. Both men had well
over 300 points at the season's end.
After the North State conference
tournament ended at Elkin, the
tourney officials proclaimed Mc
Ginn as the outstanding conference
player despite the fact that the Cat
amounts were eliminated in the
first round of play via a double
overtime 62-60 victory by High
Point.
The All-State selections includ
ed: Ed Bartels, Warren Cartier,
Dick Dickey, Leo Katkaveck and
Jack McComas, all of N..C. State;
McGinn o f Western Carolina;
George Cheek. Davidson; Jack
Gentry, Wake Forest; Thomas
Hughes, Duke; and Bob Paxton,
North Carolina University.
Guy Sutton's Sylva high boys
beat' the HendersonviUe Bearcats
a few weeks ago to decide who was
to go to Chapel Hill to represent
Western District Four in the cham
pionship playoffs. Hendersonville
was then named to Represent Wes
tern District Thre^. In Sylva's 1st
game they were eliminated from
the tournament by Kinston of the
East. Kinston went on through to
the finals and found themselves
playing Hendersonville, the team
that had been beaten by Sylva. It
looked like a set-up for the Kin
j ston five, but when the final whis
tle sounded ending their game they
found themselves on the short end*
of a 46-44 score. This illustration
could also be used to prove the
theory that teams suffer "on" and
"off" nights.
Coach Jim Gudger is running his
Western Carolina baseballers
through stiff training drills at Cul
lowhee in preparation for the 20
game schedule which is coming up
fast. We hope vcu don't turn up
W.ith^a bunch of sore arms around
April 2nd', Cu.igey . . .
Fans of this section of the coun
try are in for a treat this weekend
in the basketball line. WCTC's an
nual "Tournament of Champions"
is going to feature the top-notch
boys high schcol quints of the Wes
tern part of the state and a lot of
good basketball playing is expect
ed of them.
Potatoes are the only major crop
whoae world production declined
