Decide To Retain Their

Pick The Winner
Football Contest
To Be Held Again
The Mountaineer will conduct
a weekly "pick the winner" foot
ball contest again this year, with
winners receiving1 a weekly prize
and a grand prize at the end of
the football season.
Rules will be the same as those
of last vear?a contestant must
enter every week to be eligible
for the grand prize, there must
be only one blank entered by
each contestant, and the blanks
must be at the Mountaineer office
by a certain time.
I Games included in the contest
will be found in a series of ad
vertisements which run each
week by Waynesville, Hazelwood
and vicinity business firms.
The first games will be found
in Monday's paper, plus entry
blanks and a complete set of
rules.
f L _ I
Voters from the Lake Junaluska
precinct took an overwhelming
stand Wednesday afternoon before
the Board of Elections to move
their voting place from Biltmore
Dairies to the school.
Board Chairman Glenn W. Brown
said that a petition with 51 names
protesting any change in the voting
place was presented at the hcar
1 ing and in addition several voters
appeared in person to protest the
move. Only one person, Mr. Brown
said, declared himself in favor of
the proposed change.
It was argued that a voting place
at the school would not be in the
center of the precinct and would
not be convenient to voters. The
| location at Biltmore Dairies is
readily accessible and many Lake
Junaluska people pass there on
their way to work, it was explain
ed.
The hearing had been scheduled
originally for Saturday but because
of a misunderstanding as to where
it would be held, it was postponed
until Wednesday noon at the Board
| offices.
