Mountaineers End Good Season; Monroe Is Happy Some Game Observations Coach Carriage When the final horn ended tin Paper Bowl game yesterday, three Monroe players grabbed I hen coach, Jim Gudger. and carried him across the field to tjic dressing room. There they amputated his interesting red necktie just below the joint. Before the evening ended, they also amputated the neckties of two of his assistants. All this business was by way of i celebrating the end of a 12-gamc undefeated football season for the Pythons. At the banquet, Gudgcr. who's just finished his second season at Monroe, explained that, the tie- slicing was a custom that the boys had started by way ot celebrating a victory. It was the first tune it had caught up with him. He escaped it before, he said, by the simple expedient of wearing a sport shirt. Moral Victory Even in defeat the Mountaineers were impressive. Richard Mown, sports editor of the Monroe In quirer, expressed admiration for the versatility of the waynesM... harks "Anv one of them." he marvelled, "can play any position in the backfield.

That covers the scoring angle of Monroe s 13-0 victory over the pre viously undefeated Mountaineers in the second annual Paper Bowl game al Canton yesterday after noon. It doesn't tell the whole story. In a nutshell, the Mountaineers' defense was nearly perfect. Their offense was not. Monroe cashed in on the breaks, and Waynesville couldn't.

Williams Might Lead State Corn Growers Dwight Williams of Waynesville may be North Carolina's new ciu n growing champion. Unless somebody comes in with a better yield at the last minute, Williams will be crowned officially as the man who can get more corn out of a piece of land than any body else in the slate. The North Carolina State Col lege Agricultural Kxtension Ser vice this week announced thai Wil liams gained a yield of 141.34 bushels per acre. His crop won the Haywood coun ty title n few weeks ago, and un less a higher yield is returned, his will be declared the highest in the state for the year. Dr. E. R. Collins, Stale College Extension agronomist, announced the results. Williams raised his big crop on rich bottomland, fertilizing with 200 pounds of 7-7-7 and two tons of stable manure to the acre at planting time. He seeded Dixie 17 hybrid in 42-inch rows on May 10, spacing 12 inches to the drili. He used 100 pounds of ANL per acre each of the two times he side dressed. The contest was still open this week. The North Carolina Foundation Seed Producers award a prize of a $100 U. S. Savings Bond to the growers producing the best yields in the mountain, costal, and Pied mont sections of the slate. The producer who turns in the highest yield of the three regional winners will get a second $100 bond. Will Umstead Be In The Race For Senate? What are the chances of Wil liam B.

Queen And Dancers To Be In Queen City Sam Queen and his Soco Gap dance team and string band will give a performance at the Char lotte Armory Saturday night. It is a benefit appearance, and a large crowd is expected. The Charlotte papers have been carry ing lots of pictures and stories about the local dancers. Several weeks ago Mr. Queen and his entertainers gave a per formance in Columbia. His only comment about the South Carolina trip was: "Had an Armory packed full. Packed clear to the rafters. Building about twice the size of the Waynesville Armory a pretty good turnout, and everybody had a big time." I Weatherman Spilled His Sample Kit Here Tuesday The weatherman dropped his sample kit In Haywood Tues day, and every kind of weather, both good and bad, spilled out. The big" bottle of sunshine was the first to break, but pretty soon the lid flew off a can of clouds. Just as everything be came overcast, the wind bag" burst, and the breezes stirred up things. While the clouds and winds were holding sway, keen light ning began flashing, and heavy roars of thunder rounded out a typical summer-like storm. Before the echoes of the thun der died away over the Balsam range, the ground was covered with hall resembling hundreds 1, 1949 $3.00 In Advance In Mm New Route About 2 Miles Shorter; Fewer Curves What is the route of the proposed new highway from the Buncombe county line to Lake Junaluska? That question which has been discussed off and on for the past few years, was partially answered here this week. State Highway officials have announced with the posting of a map of the proposed route, that the survey has been finished, and the exact location of the 150-foot right-of-way from the Buncombe line to the new Dellwood road. The route through the city limits of Canton has not been made, or at least is not shown on the map. The new route swings south of the Southern Railway tracks, just about 100 feet west of the Buncombe county line, and does not again cross the tracks until the overpass at the new cut-off at Lake Junaluska. Engineer Says That Project Can Be Complete Before Next Vinler Division Engineer Z. V. Slew art of the State Highway Depart ment office at Asheville said yes terday that officials hoped to let contracts on the Canton-Buncombe County line link of the new Lake Junaluska highway soon enough so that the hard surface road could be opened to traffic by next fall, be fore winter sets in. He added he did not know ex actly when the contracts would be let but that work was proceeding on the plans now. Mr. Stewart explained that his office was conferring with South ern Railway officials to try to work out a dual proposition permitting the highway to cross the Southern Railway tracks near the Buncombe County line. He added, however, that no dif ficulty was expected over this and described it as one of the "de tails" which must be worked out. He said the new highway would be the same width as the new one that extends eastward from Cand ler to the Haywood County line 33-fool pavement flanked by eight foot shoulders. The engineer forecast that some time during the summer motorists would have to use a detour over the recently-paved road from Can ton through Newfound Gap (at the Buncombe County line) because of the construction work on the new link. He said this wouldn't be so bad in the summer lime, but that the officials wauled the new link ready for travel so that motorists would not have to use this detour dur ing the winter weather. Burley Prices Are Averaging $43.15 The average price for burley on the Asheville market is slightly over $43. The Wednesday average was $43 15. which was 29 cents below that of Tuesday. About one fourth of the tobacco sold on the Asheville market is going to the Federal government under the price support program. of bushels of moth balls. These quickly melted, as the mercury had not had time to slide down from the middle eighties. Later in the day things began to get back to normal as the weatherman gathered in his rem nants. The elusive mercury stay ed in the "summer range" and a few clouds remained on the loose. These played hide and seek with the moon that night, until they too vanished, and left the moon to shine brightly for the remaining few of the 24 hours. The sample kit has a new lock, and the weather since Tuesday has been under control. I TODAY'S SMILE ! Junior Let's play show. ; I'll be Uncle Tom. Mary All right. Ill be lit- tie Evil. - Haywood and Jackson Counties Heady The new highway, roughly paral leling the Southern Railway tracks, will cut an estimated two miles off the old route and eliminate nearly a dozen sharp curves. The blue print of the job, drawn by Highway Engineer W. H. Rogers, Jr., was completed last Saturday and a copy placed on the bulletin board on the first floor of the Hay wood County Court House shortly afterward. The proposed highway sections will run from the Buncombe county line to Canton's eastern city limits, and from the West Canton Depot to the Lake Junaluska intersection. Officials could not say, however, exactly when the actual construc tion will start. The announcement ended nearly five years of discussion and specu lation over the proposed new route. The 150-foot-wide right-of-way roughly follows the contours of the Southern Railway, running south of the tracks and generally parallel to thorn over most of the route, often within 200 feet of the tracks. The right-of-way leaves the pres ent highway about 100 feet west of the Buncombe county line, cross es the railroad tracks and Hominy Creek and follows a line south of the tracks. The road will run west through the property of R. I. Smathcrs, Hub Jones, Mrs. E. O. Skaggs, Hoyt Holland. Forest Mann, Johnson heirs, L. J. Westmoreland, Mack Reeves, R. B. Smathers and H. C. Cairns. The new highway comes back into the present road about 1.500 feet west of the overpass, just east of Canton. The -present route is followed until the sharp curve at the foot of the Canton hill. The new road runs straight, and does not follow the curve. The present survey stops at the foot of the Canton hill, which is the eastern edge of the city limits. Picking up again at the West Canton depot, it continues running south of the Southern Railway tracks into Clyde, ranging from 100 to 1.800 feet from the tracks along this route. The right-of-way after leaving Canton going west runs through the property of the following: Mrs. C. T. Wells. E. B Watson. Grover Moore, James Cathey. O V. Crisp. Eliza BcGee, Dallas Webb. Charles Crisp, E. E. Stockton, Charles Summey, Raymond Wells, T. H. Harkins, D. H. Harkins. Ray mond Wells, the Patton estate, the estate of Mrs. M. R. Ilipps, Sam Hipps heirs, Chester Hipps, Mel esa Haynes, Mrs. Frady Rogers. Smith heirs. DeVoe Pressley, Oscar Smathers, Clarence Hill, Ray Mc Cracken, Dave Mann and J. H. Haynes. The new route enters Clyde about 150 feet south of the rail road, and follows the tracks to the west side of the town, then bears about 1,200 feet south of the rail road. Continuing west, it runs through (See Canton Road Page S) SI Highway Record For 1949 (To Date) In Haywood Killed 7 Injured ... 38 (This Information com plied from Records ot State HlKhwar Patrol).
