The Waynesville Mountaineers
and the Monroe Pythons will meet
in the second annual Paper Bowl
football game at Canton's Black
Bear Memorial Stadium at 3 p. in.
Wednesday.
It will he a battle of undefeated
teams.
Doth will onler the contest with
only a tie marking their regular
season records.
The Mountaineers came through
their opener with Sylva last Sep
tember wilh a 6-0 tie, then won
nine straight games, ending their
season Thanksgiving Day with a
decisive 24-7 victory over Canton.
The Pythons won all 11 of their
regular season games, before tying
Lenoir, 13-13, last Saturday night
in the Lions Bowl game at Hick
ory.
Jim Codger's Monroe eleven will
be the heaviest the Mountaineers
will have faced this season or t.ie
i last.
! Waynesville will be outweighed
! in both the line and the backfield.
I Hut the Mountaineers sacrifice
j weight for speed in both sections
of the starting eleven, and this may
! compensate for the lack of heft.
I As far as individual players are
concerned. Hunter Hadley, Mon
j roe's 196-pound fullback is rated
i one of the finest backs in the state.

3rd Annual
Festival Is
A Huge
Success
People in all walks of life to
day were in one accord that the
third Annual Tobacco Harvest Fes
tival was a success from beginning
to end.
The Merchants Association, spon
sor of the event, was well pleased
with the results, and the fact that
such large crowds attended and
were highly entertained.
Members of the county agent's
staff, who carried the brunt of the
5-day and night program, were
happy, but tired today as tbey
gathered together the loose ends
of the festival, and made notes of
suggestions for next year.
The programs were of a high
calibre, from beginning to end,
with some of the best speakers in
the country occupying places on
the programs during the events.
The Armory literally groaned
Saturday night, as more than 3,
000 people jammed every nook and
corntir, wilh hundids being
turned away. The crowd came by
seven, and were there when the
last number was played. The 3,000
spectators saw Mrs. Jennie Mae
Early, crowned queen. She repre
sented the Thlckety community.
Then after she and her court left
the platform, five square dance
teams thrilled the audience with
some excellent danclqg. The Mars
Hill team took first glace honors,
while the Enka team was second.
U C, Edwardj la, -manager of the
winnittf leam; - feMlife Treil ' Tott
was in charge of the Enka dancers.
The judges were Wayne Holland
and George Bidstrip, of Brasstown,
and W. B. Collins, of Asheville.
The judges for the Tobacco
Queeii were Percey Ferebee, of
Andrews, Rush Hamrick, Jr., and
Ralph Gilbert, of Shelby, and Mrs.
Carl Klllian, of Cullowhee.
In the string band contest, the
Haywood Mountaineers were judg
ed the best.
Wayne Corpening, general chair
man, issued a statement of thanks
and appreciation to every person
who worked in any capacity on
the Festival program. "Without
this united cooperation, the com
mittee would not have been able to
have staged such an event cover
ing five days and nights." he said.
The Mountaineer had reporters
and photographers at every phase
of the program, and are carrying
details of each address in this is
sue. There will be more pictures of
the festival In the Thursday edi
tion. Due to the falling snow on

clinic operated by the Polish underground organization during the Nazi occupation. After spending
three years in a Nazi concentration camp, he was released by Allied troops, then resumed his blood
contributions at an American hospital in Austria. He donated five pints after his liberation, but doesn't
