"The basketball seaHon is about to
come to an end for the 1938 season.
There are only a few more games to
fee played and these are in a form of
some sort of tournament.
The Waynesville teams have not
been on the winning side as a whole,
bt have put up good fights to come
out the looser in many of their games.
The girls have made a better show
ing during the season than the boys,
a they have a better per cent of the
games won.
Waynesville is now making a name
for itself this season in having sev
eral college games played on the local
eoart The Cullowhee Catamounts
have met several of their foes on the
local court and are well pleased with
it. Perhaps next season there will be
additional college games played on
Waynesville's court.
It will not be long before the base
ball season will open in Haywood
county. The local high school will
not participate.
According to George Bischoff, man
ager of the Hazelwood ball club, reg
ular practice will begin this week-end.
Mr. Bischoff expects about 35 pros
pects to be on hand for the initial
practice. He also is in hopes of hav
ing two teams, thereby having a game
en the Hazelwood diamond each Sat
urday by one or the other teams.
The two-team proposition is not a
definite thing yet, but it is believed
that two teams can be financed. As
Mr. Bischoff expressed it, "The pres
ent baseball days of the Hazelwood
club cannot last forever and new ma
terial must be trained to take the re
tiring player's place."
This year season tickets will be
sold in an attempt to raise enough
money to start the team off. If you
like baseball help the Hazelwood club
by buying a season ticket.
The Hazelwood club was honored
aa well as one of their players in re
ceiving an invitation from the Ashe--rflle
Tourists for "Bud" Blalock to
come over to Asheville and tryout for
the Tourist team. Bud has always
been a sports enthusiast and takes bis
baseball serious.

92 Of Applications on File At Reemploy
ment Office Are of High School Graduates
Failure To Transfer
Auto Titles Expensive
Between January 16 and February
15 more than 2,000 North Carolinans
failed to transfer titles to their motor
vehicles within 15 days and as a re
sult paid $2,000 each or more than
14,000 in penalties the first month the
statute was in effect, according to J.
Dale Stent, manager of the Waynes
ville office of the Carolina Motor Club.
There were 15 penalties, totaling
$30.00 collected at the local office.
The 1937 legislature enacted a law
providing 'that effective January 1 this
yer a penalty of $2.00 would be
assessed against individuals or corpor
ations who bought motor vehicles and
failed to transfer title within 15 days.
Knforeement of the law began Janu
ary 1(5 and more than 2,000 penalties
were collected at Carolina Motor club
offices alone.
Motor vehicle owners and the pub
lic generally will recognize the value
of the penalty statute when license
"rush" .season rolls around. Prompt
transfers will assure owners getting
correct license application cards. This
will speed up issuance of plates as
titles will not have to be traced down
and transfers made at the busy season.
License plate sales are running
more than 31,000 in excess of the 1937
sal. for the same date, Carolina
Motor club headquarters advised the
local office today. Through February
18 sales were 463,700 compared with I
4112,342 on February IS, 1937. Of this J
number 385,552 or 85 per cent were j
sold at Carolina Motor club offices
located throughout the Carolinas.

this group had less than a high school
training.
In the craftsmen group which in
cludes machinists, mechanics, elec
tricians, plumbers, painters, etc., 87
per cent lacked a high school training.
Among production workers which
includes both manual and machine
types, such as are employed in fac
tories, 93 per cent had less than a high
school education.
The largest occupational group is
represented by those registered as
laborers. In this groun 94 per cent
Classified as to occupational skill had not finished high school,

whom 73 per cent had less than a high

reported as married.
Of the total number registered 54
per cent were under 30 years of age
and 83 per cent of these had less than
a high school training.
per cent had completed high school
and received supplementary training.
The highest educational rating is
found among clerical workers where
only 10 per cent failed to finish high
school. This is considerably better
than the average for the 35 offices
making this survey in "which the av
erage for those who had completed
high school in the clerical group was
19 per cent.
The next highest rating is among
professional workers where 17 per
cent failed to finish high school. This
also is better than the state average,
which is 22 per cent, for those in the
professional group.
In the group of salesmen 43 per cent
lacked the high school training.
In the group of service workers,
which includes domestic, hotel, res
taurant, and maintenance workers, it
was found that the lowest educational
rating of any occupation represented.
Ninety-nine per cent of all those in
them (87 per cent) should show less
than a completed high school course.
This showing may be given two inter
pretations: (1.) That a higher educa
tion is not essential to the attain
ment of certain occupational skills.
(2.) That the unemployed in this
group are in that situation because of
their low educational standard and
presumably a corresponding low stand
ard of occupational qualification.
It can hardly be admitted that the
lack of education is not an nctual
handicap in either the selection, qual
ification, or pursuit of an occupation.
Certain it is, that those who have the
benefit of a higher course of training
are among those who have experienced
the urge to qualify themselves for
work in the higher levels of industry
and business. As the active files of the
Unemployment Service throughout
the state have shown from time to
time, St is among those higher levels
that there is the least unemployment.
