In order to promote more interest in tennis in Haywood County, a tennis tournament will be held on the 13, 14, 15 and 16th of August and is being sponsored by St. John's School. This will be the first tournament in a long time that has been held in Haywood and it is believed that a large number of players will participate.'.-. This event takes in the whole of the county, in cluding Balsam, and it is likely that a number of people from Canton and the several camps around Lake Juna luska will participate. Through the courtesy of St. John's School the tourna ment will be held on their concrete court, which is recognized to be one of the best cement courts in the state. Necessary balls will be supplied by the sponsors for the tournament. The event will be divided into two classes the boys and girls junior amateur and men and women senior amateur. Anyone under the age of 16 years will be eligible to participate in the junior amateur and any one overly will be eligible to participate in the senior ama '' teur. Semi-finals will be played, for both boys and girls, on the 13th and 14th, with the finals on the 15th and 16th. Games will start at 10 in the morning and continue until 12, then they will be continued at 2 in the afternoon in order to give those people who have to work during the day a chance to participate. Although no admission charges will be made for spectators, a registration fee of fifty cents will be charged each participant. However this money will be turned back into prizes for the junior amateur. Anyone wishing to register for the tournament should get in touch either with Bill Hannah or me. All regis trations must be completed by the 14th of August. PRIZES TO BE AWARDED To the boy and girl winner of the junior amateur will be given a tennis racquet also donated bjr St. John's School. For the senior amateur man or woman winner will go the honor of having their names and the year engrav ed on one of the two beautiful cups which will be dis played all year at some public plaee. The man's cup is 18 inches high and is made of beautiful Sun Ray metal, the woman's cup is also 18 inches high and is silver. These two cups are being donated by the sponsor. If any one wishes to practice on St. John's court please get in touch with the school for reservations either in person or by phone, 177. The practice fee is 50c an hour for everyone except those who work at the school and their friends. It is the present plans to make the tournament an annual event . . . so let's give tennis a chance . . . tell your friends about it and we'll have a swell tournament.

The Rotary team threw in the towel, and called it quits, and turn ed over their league standing, and best wishes to Erkraft. The Ro tarians have fourd it difficult to get enough club numbers to war rant carrying on the team, and some of the best prospects fell heir to injuries early in the sea son and steered clear of the park after that. Only three games were played during the last week-end, and none of these change the standings of the league. High Sehool took an easy game from the Boosters, by a 13 to 4 score last Friday. On Wednesday of last week, Jonathan Cm k was run over by the scoring Lions, as they made 24 runs against Jona than's 9. The closest game of the week end was Pet Dairy and -Erkraft, in a 3 -5 game. S im. of the-players' .were wor ried about getting out of form, unless the weathrr permitted early practice soon. During the absence of C. E. Wentherby, athleic director, the league activities will bj under the supervision of Louis Scruggs. of which the entire state can be proud.

But as far as the State Highway Commission is concerned, Lenoir Gwyn works much more directly for them than through the revolv ing fund. Conferring with State Prison Director Oscar Pitts a little over a year ago, Lenoir Gwyn convinced Pitts that Caledonia's salvation was the introduction of beef cattle. All feed could be raised on the 6,000 acre farm and the cattle would be thus furnished with unlimited pasturage at little cost. So Prison Director Pitts gave Gwyn a free hand to organize the cattle business or tne prison ae partment. In back and white the experiment has been a great suc cess. Latest figures for sales of the Caledonia cattle from Novem ber to March show that Gwyn bought cattle paid a profit of $19,118.66. Inventory of the cattle taken this July showed that the cattle on hand were valued at $46,000 more than the number on hand at the same time last year. Gwyn bought 460 steers in West ern North Carolina, grossing 443,130 pounds at a cost of $40, 853.48. When they, arrived at Caledonia their average weight was 962 pounds and cost: per hundredweight $9.22. When these same cattle which Gwyn had bought were sold in March, they brought $59,972.14, hence the profit of more than $19,000. Fur thermore they averag.d 1170.5 pounds and brought $11.16 per hundredweight or an average gain of 208.5 pounds per st er. Perhaps this is why Lenoir Gwyn with all native-born love for the beautiful hills of Western North Carolina predicts that some day in the not too far dis tant future Caledonia prison farm will be the largest cattle range in the South. There are some 700 head of cattle owned by the prison department at Caledonia now, by next winter, Gwyn says there will be far in excess of 1500 cattle at the prison farm. But neither Gwyn nor prison director Pitts wants the people of North Carolina to think Caledonia's cattle business will be competetive with private cattle interests. Both Gwyn and Pitts believe it is rather a sensible utilization of available lands and feed crops. Producing cattle on the lands at Caledonia is rounding out a logical farm pnv gram closely knit with the grow ing of vegetables and other such products on the farm. Neither the Highway Commis sion nor the State Department of Agriculture are entering the-reg istered cattle business. Cattle at Caledonia are more of the com mercial breed than the pure bred. When, as Lenoir Gwyn predicts, Calendonia becomes the home of one of the finest herds of grade white faced Hereford cattle in the South, the people of Western North Carolina can feel proud that they had a part in it. For despite migration to the flat, former tobacco and cotton lands of Eastern North Carolina, the cattle are still natives of the western part of the state. The cattle country of ' Western North Carolina can take the credit for supplying the cattle which turned the worn out lands of fcastern North Carolina into one more finest in the South, another thing f among laxatives all over the South Avr You Can Get Them At Ray's Ixamlut thtft (tatvril: 1.
