The Waynesville Mountaineers
will meet their third team of the
current football season on the local
field Friday night at 8:00 o'clock
when they tangle with the scrappy
Marion eleven. The Waynesville
Township high school band will
also be on hand for the game.
The Mountaineers have been
practicing hard for the coming tilt
with Marion, and as a general rule
the visitors have a scrappy eleven,
but so far this season have not won
a game out of the two played. They
fell to Brevard, 13 to b' and also
Newton, 13 to ti, but they are
scheduled to give the locals a run
for their money.
Coach Weatherby is not yet sat
isfied with the way his Moun
taineers are playing and has been
putting them through rough work
outs trying to smooth out the kinks
that have come to the sin face dur
ing the past two games. He stated
that no serious injuries resulted
in the Murphy game and that the
probable starting line-up would
find Messer and Hicheson on the
ends, Caldwell and Morrison at
tackle, Wilson and Carver at the
guard positions and Kerguson at
center. In the buckfield, Kobin
son at quarter, Powers at left half.
Milner at right halt, and Minnett
at fullback.
Mountaineers
Down Fighting
Murphy, 21-12
The Mountaineers football eleven
downed a fighting Murphy team on
the local field last Friday night
by a score of 21 to 12. with close
to 1,000 fans witnessing the con
test. The local band also made
their debut at the hall lime
The Mountaineers led the scor
ing throughout the game although
at one time in the first period the
score stood at 7 to 6. and again in
the second period it was 14 to 12.
The first score of the evening
came when Milner, halfback for
the locals, galloped 23 yards to
reach pay dirt. Kobinson pounded
the line for the extra point. Not
long after this, Brendle, snappy
quarterback of the Murphy eleven,
came through with a 30 and 15
yard run for the first score for
the visitors. The extra point failed.
This put the locals in the lead
7 to 6.
In the second period Waynes
ville recovered a Murphy fumble
down in the visitors territory,
where Minnett skirted the end for
26 yards and the Mountaineers
second tally. A pass from Robin
son to Milner netted the extra
point. Murphy came back under
very much the same circumstances
to get their second score. Recover
ing a fumble by the locals on the
two yard line, Alexander plowed
through the line on the second
try for the score. Again the extra
point was no good. The score. 14
to 12 in favor of the Mountaineers.
The locals last score of the eve
ning came about midway of the
last period when they started their
march on the Murphy 40-yard line
and, drove to the 15 where Min

Etebttson drove the line for the

Tom Medford, S 1c,
Serving Aboard Skagit
Tom Medford, Seaman First
("lass, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
Medford, is serving aboard the
USS Skagit, which was commis
sioned on May 2, 1945, in Brook
lyn and was a member of the Task
Force which steamed into Tokyo
Bay on Sept. 2 ,at approximately
the time the peace treaty was
signed. The ship on which young
Medford is serving passed within a
mile of the USS Missouri.
Seaman Medford entered the
service as a volunteer in August,
1944. but was not called to active
duty until November of that year
when he reported to Bainbridge
for his boot training. Later he
was sent to the Brooklyn Shipyards
and had six weeks training prior
to being assigned to sea duty.
Since the departure from the
States June S, the Skagit has trav
eled 21,000 miles, or an average
of 7,000 miles a month, it was
learned from Seaman Medford in
a letter to his father. The Skagit
will be used in the occupation of
Japan along with a vast number
of U. S. ships and will have an im
portant part in the final phase of
operations against the Japanese
Empire.

Canton All Set
For Game With
Morganton High
Black Bears Defeat N.
C. School for Deaf;
Prime For Morganton
High.
The Canton High Black Bears
came out of their hard fought
20-0 victory over the North Caro
lina School for the Deaf Friday
night in good shape and are work
ing hard this eek for their game
at Morganton Friday night with
the Morganton High Wildcats. The
Black Bears regard this as one of
the toughest games on their sched
ule and will have to be at their
best to cope with the Wildcats.
Morganton took last year's game
with a 20 to 0 score and the Bears
are wanting revenge.
The Bears showed some improve
ment in their defensive play Fri
day night, but Coach C. C. Poin
dexter is putting in some extra
practice in this department in an
effort to check the strong running
and passing attack that Morganton
is reported to possess. Some more
changes will likely occur in the
forward wall as a result of these
practice sessions.
A large crowd of Canton fans is
expected to go to Morganton Fri
day night. The game is scheduled
to get under way at 8 p. m.
In the game last Friday night
Fullback Ted Stiles set up Can
ton's first touchdown midway of
the opening quarter when he re
covered a fumble on the Morgan
ton 15, and in two cracks at the
line, Halfback German Miller
scored. He also hit the line for the
extra point.
In the second period Quarter
back Red Ivester returned a punt
17 yards and then lateralled to
center Getter O'Diear who scamp
ered the remaining 40 to the goal.
The half ended with the Black
Bears threatening on the oppon
ent's 3-yard line.
A 52-yard runback of a punt by
Ivester and a forward-lateral com
bination on which Buster Trull
picked up 18 yards, put Canton in
position for Miller to plunge over
for their third touchdown from two
yards out. Stiles picked up the
extra point through the line.
Tuttle and Dollard sparked a
Morganton drive in the second
quarter that carried them to Can
ton's one-yard line. Again in the
final period Dollard was the big
gun in a visitor's offensive thrust
that carried to the 14 yard stripe
before the Black Bears held.
O'Diear and Vance of Canton,
and Harrell and Reynolds of Mor
ganton were the outstanding de-1
fensive players in the game which
was witnessed by some 1,500 fans.
Local Men Are
Listed As Hunting
Authorities
The Department of Conservation
and Development have just sent
out a memorandum on hunting in
the state. The areas are broken
clown, and the best hunting in each
bounty is given, together with those
in the counties that can furnish
reliable information on different
game.
For Haywood, the list gives
Claude J. Reece as a good source
for information on deer, Dr. N. M.
Medford on bear, C. E. Weatherby
on quail, with Roy Parkman for
general information together with
G. C. Plott, county game protector.
The list gives guides for water
fowl hunting in the eastern part
of the state. No guides are listed
for hunting this area.

the pincushion for disturbed and
ill-tempered people." The thought
stuck with me. It doesn't hurt a
pincushion to stick needles or pins
in it; that's its purpose. It is so
constructed that it can safely ab
sorb a good number of pins and
needles. 1
Most of us are not born with a
pincushion disposition; we have to
acquire it. The task is not easy,
but the results are highly satisfac
tory. The world is full of poor unfor
tunates who take an unholy de
light in needling other people,
pushing pins into their feelings.
They like nothing better than the
satisfaction of feeling that they
have inflicted a hurt. If they don't
accomplish that, they will soon
stop. These people are to be
pitied; they are ill, physically, men
tally or spiritually. Usually they
can be healed by proper treatment.
I find it quite an interesting game
to try to disarm those who make
such attacks. Then I try to help
them if I can. They are usually
very unhappy; the peace of God
is not with them. I try to bring
them to know our Lord, who took
the insults and abuse of men and
women long since forgotten. He
prayed for them, "Father, forgive
them for they know not what they
do." -v.;-: '

Mass. Court Puts
Ban On "Strange
Fruit" Book
BOSTON The best selling novel
"Strange Fruit," written by former
misisonary Lillian Smith, was
ruled "obscene, indecent and im
pure" by Massachusetts supreme
court, which upheld conviction of
a merchant for selling the book.
The ruling, in effect,, supported
Boston's notorious behind - the -counter
method of book banning
by which "Strange Fruit" and
three other novels were withdrawn
from dealers' shelves last year.
However, it was indicated that Lit
erary Critic Bernard De Voto and
Prof. F. O. Matthiessen of Har
vard University, who precipitated
the test case, might carry their
fight to the U. S. Supreme Court
in Washington.
In a 17-page majority opinion,
the state's highest court declared:
(The book) contains much that
even in this post-Victorian era
would tend to promote lacivious
thoughts and to arouse lustful de
sire in the minds of substantial!
numbers of the public."
The court said that some inci
dents in the book "had a strong
tendency to maintain a salacious
inteerst in the reader's mind and
to whet his appetite for the next
major episode."
