Page 10 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER Conn Breaks Hand In Tilt With Father-ln-Law Now that Billy Conn has broken his hand on his father-in-law's lead in a fight that started out as a "kiss-and-make-up," and the late June or early July fight with Joe Louis, which veteran fight men figured would have drawn at least three-quarters of a million dollars, will have to be cancelled. Of course, Promoter Mike Jacobs says Billy'll get a return shot at Bomber in September, but no one knows whether it'll be as "hot" an attraction then or whether condi tions will be such as to permit these two soldier boys to hold a big out door fight. Meantime, the June or July title chance will go to some one else, probably Robert Pastor in New York, Cleveland or Chicago. Billy had just gone to his Pitts burgh home for the christening of his month-old son, David Phil lip, when his father-in-law, former National League outfielder Jimmy Smith, summoned Conn through a friend to the Smith home to straighten out their differences. The invitation to talk it over came by phone to Billy at his home from Art Rooney, Pitts- Behind the Men Behind the Guns More than 1,000 Southern Bell employes nowproudly , wear the uniform of Amer- ica's armed forces.

"I went to Smith's house as Art asked," Billy related. "Then Smith said, "You and I have got some things to talk over. Let's go in the kitchen." "When we got there, he started to holler at me. I told him to talk quietly, that I could hear. Then he said 'Aren't you scared of me?' I told him I wasn't scared of anybody, particularly him. Then it started. I hit him on the head, and that's when I broke my hand. It only lasted a few minutes be fore friends separated us. In the confusion, my shirt was ripped off and I wound uo with just my tie around my neck." During the scrap Billy received: (1) a metacarpal fracture of the lpft. hand. 12) a deen cash in his right forearm when his right fist went through a window, (3) a sore scalp from having his hair nearly yanked out. Joe Louis hasn't much hair to yank, but it might not be such a bad idea to put Smith up against him. . . . NOTICE OF SALE NORTH CAROLINA, HAYWOOD COUNTY.

MEDFORD, Trustee, No. 1177 -April 23-30-May 7-14 HELLO SPORT FANS! Recently our President asked the nation's newspaper reporters to name the war that we are now in . . . hundreds" of names have been sent in . such as the "War of Survival" . . . but none of these seemed quite to fit. In this week's Colliers magazine we think is the President's answer . . . the poem was written by Carl Byoir ... and the idea was born out of the riight that Joe Louis, along with Wendell Willkie, spoke at the Madison Square Garden for a Navy Relief Society show on March 10, 1942 ... NOTICE Of REGISTRATION DAYS For PRIMARY ELECTION Registration books for Primary or General Elec tion will be open at several voting places in the various precincts in Haywood County on May 2,-1942; May 9, 1942; and May 16, 1942. Challenge Day will be the following Saturday, May 23, 1942, and Primary Elec tion will be held May 30, 1942. Hours on above dates when the Registration Books will be open are from 9 o'clock a. m. until sundown. J GUDGER BRYSON, Chmn., Haywood County Board of Elections And said that this really was a free country And made it come true, That white men and black men were all free. That here it didn't make any difference About a man's race or creed or color. where all men were free. Maybe those words were stamped On your great grandfather's heart, And maybe they were burned into his Roul, And maybe he came to love America And to cherish its freedoms More than some people who just inherited them. And so, maybe, you just felt what he felt And so you named the war. This is God's War. This is not the first time That someone like Hitler Thought he was bigger than God, Or that someone like Hirohito Thought he was God. The whole history of mankind Has been a history of struggle Against men like this. And that's why we can be sure That we are on God's side, Because in the long run the people Who are on God's side Have always won The rights of free men were not won all at once. God has been fighting these wars As long as there have been men to set free. Through all the dark centuries A lot of people believed Joe, you have named the war. I don't think you knew That you were naming the war, But you named it. You named it when you said, We are going to win Because we are on God's side." You were right, Joe, And you lyive named the war. This is God's War. Maybe you read in the newspapers Thut the President asked the re porters To name the war. Our President is a very great man, Joe, But he does not know very much about whom to ask To name wars. Reporters, Joe, are men who think with their heads. No one could name this war out of his head. It had to be named out of the heart and out of the soul, And out of some instinct that reaches back Thousands and thousands of years ; Back through all the struggle of mankind To establish the rights That we are fighting to keep now But you were right, Joe. You named the war. This is God's War. v Maybe you are the first human being in five thousand years Who was not too conceited in naming a war. For in all the wars that men have fought in the past. Men on both sides said, "God is on our side." I think you are the only man in all history Who ever said, "We are on God's side." Of course I know, Joe, That you were not thinking about naming a war. You just put into words something - that you felt Way down inside of you. So Jmaybe it was your great grandfather Who named the war. I imagine he was born a free man, Joe, And then someone brought him to America And made a slave out of him. And maybe through the long nights he dreamed Of being free again Because he knew the bitterness And the agony of slavery. He knew the value of freedom And wanted it again. And maybe he was there, Joe, When Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation LOCAL BOY TOPS IN SPORTS We were very pleased the other day when we received a letter from Earle Brinkley, sports editor of Brevard Col lege, telling us of one of our local boys who is making quite a name for himself in the field of sports. He is Billy Medford, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy B. Medford, Route 2, Waynesville. Billy has made a name for himself as an end on the football team and was also an outstanding basketball player. At the present he is captain of the track team and has been the high scorer for the Brevard team in all their meets this year. He is reported to be one of the best all-round track men in junior college competition. He is outstanding in the high hurdles, low hurdles, broad jump, high jump, 220-yard dash and the 100-yard dash, and in the State Junior College-track meet which is to be held May 16 at High Point, he is expected to set up new records in the high hurdles and the low hurdles. We're rooting for you, Bill! Thanks, Mr. Brinkley . . . This column would be glad to hear from any one who knows about any other local boy or girl who is making good in sports. . . ... - " Night Baseball Starts Friday For The Tourists Asheville and Western North Carolina will have their first taste of night baseball this year when the Tourists return home Friday night, May 15, to open a week's stand at McCormick Field. Beginning with Friday night's game with Norfolk, all games, ex cept on Sundays, will be played at night until further notice, and the starting time will be 8 p. m. Bill Delancey expects to bring an improved Asheville team back to McCormick Field Friday. The additions of First Baseman Jack Angle and Outfielder Dick Sisler are expected to strengthen the club considerably. Angle, who was a star performer here on Asheville's last championship club in 1939, has been secured on option from Columbus, Ohio, of the American Association, and Sisler, who play ed good ball for the Tourists last season, is coming on option from Houston of the Texas League. Registrants With Dependents To Be Reclassified Sufficient men must be provided for the armed forces, and there is also need for persons to maintain war production and other essential activities. Induction of men into TW ......11.. r, ""C l.iaj, IW. line UH & i.e. if iiiuo wan icuiiv a vuuiiu j ,, i. m l - e 1 1 ci I uie supply ui puyicaiiy-iu men available for military service under current policies, it was pointed out this week by the local draft board. It is reported that there are shortages already of trained, qual ified, or skilled persons for essen tial war activities. To fill the needs of the armed forces and essential activities, the government is forced to look in a large part to those who have been deferred for dependency. As a result the local board points out that there will be a number of changes in the deferment status of many registrants. Before men deferred for depen dency are inducted, there, will first be selected all men who can be made available for military service under current policies and standards. Many registrants deferred for de pendency under liberal peacetime policies will no longer be deferred under current dependency policies, according to the local draft board. When all available under the cur rent policies have been called and the requirements of the armed forces or essential activities still have not been met, the government must secure additional men by re examining present policies, main ly those affecting dependency de ferments, so the local draft board states. , The national headquarters will Increase War Food 36 To 160 Per Cent Farm Security Administration borrowers in North Carolina are increasing their food production this year far in excess of depart ment state-wide goals, said Glenn Boyd, chairman of the Haywood county war board, pointing to figures just released from state headquarters indicating increases in essential farm commodities ranging from 36 to 160 per cent. The figures were tabulated from individual, 1942 farm plans, of families using FSA credit and planning services, and indicate in creases for this year over and as follows: (a J In Class 3-A shall be placed any registrant upon whose earn ings one or more persons depend for support in a reasonable manner and who is not engaged in an ac tivity either essential to the war production program or essential to the support of war effort. (b) In Class 3-B shall be placed any registrant upon whose earn ings one or more persons depend for support in a reasonable manner and who is engaged in an activi ty either essential to the war pro duction program or essential to the support of the war effort. In considering the classification of registrants in Class 3-A or Class 3-B, it will not be necessary to de termine whether the registrant is a "necessary man" but only to de termine whether he is engaged in a non-essential activity f in which case he shall be classified in Class 3-B. That freedom for mankind was not! keep in touch with the local board God's plan, But they were wrong, Joe. Men have come out of the darkness, Men who believed in God, And after a while, because they believed in God, They knew they could win back their freedom. But always, Joe, it was a struggle. Winning it and losing it, and winning it back again. Everyone knows that here in America We had to fight to be free; And we had to fight to stay free; And we are fighting now to stay free. What too many of us forgot, Joe, Was just what you have reminded us of, That freedom is part of God's plan for mankind. So, if we want to be free men now, Let us all pray for faith And wisdom and strength To fight through to glorious victory On God's side. In God's War. and advise them as men are needed. Local boards and appeal agencies are considered the best judges of local conditions and situations, such as, what constitutes reasona bly adequate support in the com munity, and whether or not the registrant is providing support in a reasonable manner. As a result a reclassification of Class 3-A and 3-B will be made, to prepare for the possibility that need for manpower : may require the induction of many regristrants with dependents, the selective ser vice regulations have been amended to divide Class 3-A into two class ifications, Class 3-A and Class 3-B NOTICE OF SALE NORTH CAROLINA HAYWOOD COUNTY.
