THE WAYNESVILLE Mountaineers Hard At Work For Opening Of 1945 Football Season The Waynesville High School Mountaineers have been hard at work this week in preparation for the opening of the football season on the local g idiron next week when they meet liryson City. Coach Carleton Weatherby has been putting the boys through some tough workouts stressing the three fundamentals of football, blocking, charging and tackling, together with some hard scrimmage. He has as yet not selected his sterling eleven, but quite a number of the boys are showing up good. The squad has boon cut to 44 players, enough for four teams, and all are being put through their paces, with a number of new men showing good form. The team this year will be light and fast, which has been the case for the past several years. The team will also he made up prac tically from scratch, as only a few of the prospective players have ever played football of any sort. Fishing In Pisgah Forest Breaks All Previous Records Trout fishing in I he streams' ot the Pisgah National lores! Ibis season has broken all former rec ords, according to information ob tained from Mill Huber, forest ranger. When the season closed Friday. Angus! 31, it was anticipated iha! at least 5.000 fishermen have fish ed in the forest streams (his sea son and that their total catch was nearly 23,01)0, or an average of nearly live fish per poison, he of lOineli stated. A special planting brook (rout will he m.ii tliis week in the 50 miles of lishing waters j on Davidson river and Hie rearim; j station will carry over ,'ifi.ODO trim I to be planted legal sie nei spring. ; Mr. Huber slated that with gaso line rationing lifted, the outlook is: bright for a late tourist season. So) far this season the number of lour- j isls visiting the finest from South Carolina, Georgia, and Flm ida equals the number from Ninth Carolina. ; "Thousands of peoph are en- Pisgah. joying the drive to Mount leaving their cars at I hi parking area and hiking scenic lo the peak of Pisgah." ho said. The Pisgah parking area stand, a forest service, is now open and vacationists can obtain refresh ments at this point. Soap may be more plentiful about I he time school starts. That's what we call rubbing it on little Johnny! Capital By THOMPSON DUTCH Camp Davis is now housing 20,000 Dutch Marines, it is said, and Ibis is virtually the ' entire Dutch Marine Corps. Around Wilmington and Now Born and Washington those days one can see more Dutch Marines than American. You don't notice it : greatly until they start talking. I 40-HOUR Are State offices headed for a 40-hour week'.' Beginning September 15. all Fed eral agencies will be required lo ! work only five days, eight hours to the day, and that means a two day week-end anyway you look at j it. It ought to move parties from Saturday nights to Friday nights ) and therefore put more people in I church and Sunday Schools on 1 Sunday morning. j Since Henry Ford 20 y ears ago I began the 40-hour week plan, it has been spreading. Industry has! carried the ball, and it now looks as if all work will be on the 40 hour plan. This does not apply, of course, to the butcher, the i baker, and the candlestick maker. FIGURING Here is some blind side reasoning for you: If you stood a good chance of being ap pointed Senator between 1943 and 1954. would you vote and work for J. M. Broughton in 1948? In other words, Socrates, if Bailey is re-elected in 1948. isn't there some chances he could not last through the six years? Yes. Well, if you were close to the Governor during those years, would not you stand some little chance of being appoint ed to Bailey's position? Also, my fine-feathered friend, even if ho did last throughout Hie term, wouldn't you like to run for the seat at the end of that time? Yes. You know, of course, that in the event ! Mr. Broughton is elected, he may be in there for the next 30 years. Well, where would that leave you and your Senatorial ambitions? So it is reasonable to suppose, is it not, that virtually all of Un political leaders, the big boys, may be against Broughton in 1948, knowing that if he wins tlrey will be out of it completely. But if lie loses, Bailey may die, resign, or fail to run again in 1954. and thus give them a chance for the Senate by appointment or election at the end of six years. - ..,- ' MOUNTAINEER Leaves Asheville COACH RALPH JAMES, for the past four years coach of Asheville hk;h school football team has tak, i n up now duties as coach of High Point College. He is well known here, and his loams have played YVa. ncsvillc for years. Asheville Coach Assumes Duties At High Point HIGH POINT. Coach Ralph James of Asheville High, has boon employed as head coach at High Point College. He will report for duties at once. He is leaving Ashe ville after a most successful four .war slay, where he had thirty-five win.; anil only three defeats. Following a twenty game win ning streak, his 1942 team was se lected to compete in the Orange Poul against the Miami iFIji.i high school team for the Southern High School championship. The Balti more Sim acclaimed his team one of the two most outstanding high school teams in the United States. James was selected as the 1942 head eoarh for the North Carolina Alt-Star high school team in the Annual Shrine classic at Charlotte. He was assisted by Jamison. Greensboro, and their team won by a score of 3.'i to 0. James started his coaching ex perience sixteen years ago, at Blue Kidge school for boys.

In 192(i and 1927 he made All-Stale in basketball and base ball. Letters GREENWOOD FLY Hut here is a little fly in the ointment. The Governor next time will be from the Fast; and in Hie event liailey could not continue in office from 1948 to 1954, this Governor would have a little agree ment with his I.t. Gov. He would resign and have the now Governor appoint him Senator. This could happen all right during the first lour years of that six-year term. But not during the last two years, for the Governor during that lime wo ild be from the West, and he could not take the Eastern Sena tor's place. L'MSTEAD What is William L'mstead going to do, if anything? One hears his name mentioned for Governor and then for Senator. One Raleigh politico said last week that he wished Mr. Umstead would hurry and make up his mind. Well, it could be he's running for both offices. Running for Governor and working for Bailey, as outlined above.

Carolina Power Has Big Expansion Program Started Construction on a rural expan sion program by the Carolina Pow er and Light company to include some 300 miles of new lines to serve approximately 1,800 custo- , huts in Western North Carolina I has begun, it was announced by I Julian B. Stepp, district manager. A survey of the proposed lines . in Haywood county, which are parti of the general expansion plans for the area included around forty miles, i was learned this week. The proposed lines in this sec tion of the state are part of a gen eral $.'5,000,000 rural expansion call ing for approximately 2,400 miles of now lines to serve about 11,000 new customers and others who may apply for service, it was stated. Scattered Through Territory President L. V. Sutton stated that the company anticipates that the rural program will reach 3,000 mil es of new lines by the end of 1946. The proposed new lines are scat tered throughout the company's territory , covering a part of both North and South Carolina. Mr. Sutton emphasized the fact that although some construction al ready has begun, the program will proceed as material and manpower become available. Unless there is delay in obtaining construction ma terial, the company's present sche dule calls for completion of the 2,400 miles of lines during 1946. The $3,000,000 rural program will require 40,000 poles, more than 3,000,000 pounds of wire and about 10,000 transformers. So extensive is the program that the company has contracted with several engineering firms to assist with line locations and staking and with a number of other firms to assist with construction and right-of-way clearing. These firms will participate in addition to the com pany's organization. Extensive Undertaking The present rural program is one of the most extensive ever under taken by the Carolina Power and Light company. Prior to 1935, the company had constructed approxi mately 1.880 miles of rural lines, serving about 12,340 customers. During the period from June, 1935, lo the beginning of the war, how ever, all types of company custo mers increased rapidly, the resi dential, commercial, and industrial customers almost doubling. Dur ing this time an addition of 4,500 miles of rural lines were construct ed, serving 28,524 new rural custo-, mcrs. 2,839,000 Navy Men To Be Let Out During Year WASHINGTON The navy de partment has some good news for the fjoys in navy blue. Secretary James Forrestal says that the navy department plans to release 2,839,000 men during the next year. Such a plan would re duce the strength of the navy to about 500.000 enlisted personnel and 50.000 officers. There are also plans underway for some changes in the navy point system for dis charge. It is hoped that points will be given for overseas service, as is the case w ith the army discharge system. Secretary Forrestal, how ever, believes the point system will be reduced later as military re quirements permit. He says it was impossible to al low points for overseas service when the system was introduced because of incomplete records due to the transfer of men in the fleet. North Carolina." The copy has been sent and it is hoped the recipes will fill the bill: "help me to give him some mcaus just like they have back home in the States."
