Don Shaw, president of Uie WTHS Key Club, made an inter
esting point Tuesday night at a meeting of the Kiwanis Club.
"How come?" Don wants to know, Waynesville people will
~ sit out in the open during the fall in freezing temperatures to watch
? football, or brave cold winds and rain in the winter to attend a
~ basketball game.
Then spring comes along, bringing warm sunshine and balmy
- weather ? and people stay home by the droves!
Z. Don can't understand it. and neither can we.
Of course, it is true that baseball ? despite its title as "the
national sport" Is not as popular in the U. S. these days as football
? 4 ?
- and basketball. In fact, baseball Is a minor sport In most high schools
~ and colleges.
Universities and colleges that pack 50,000 in stadiums for
football can't draw flies at a baseball game.
However, all of the above still doesn't explain the very small
- crowds at Waynesville High baseball games. Although most adults are
r working in the afternoons when high school baseball games are being
- playedt there are a number of shift workers at plants who are free
.Z to attend.
And there is vast room for'improvement in the matter of
- student support for the local fly chasers.
As diamond mentor Bruce Jaynes points out, baseball at Way
nesville High has always been guilty of "non-support." That is, the
Z sport does not pay its own way, and money has to be taken from the
Athletic Fund to put a Mountaineer nine on the field.
This year the WTHS officials are making a strong effort to
~ make baseball stand on its own feet and are selling season tickets 4n
.? an attempt to boost attendance at Waynesville games.
Whether you re a baseball bug or whether you prefer other
2. sports, you'll enjoy games on the local field. Try one and you'll see.

Just sitting in the warm spring sunshine, listening to the
: birds tweet and the bees buzz, is worth the small price of admission.
1 Bethel's Double Grand Slam
Since we have not been in these .parts long enough yet to
~ escape the title of "furriner". we don't know much about what has
gone on here in the past.
However, we have been wondering if any Haywood County
- school has ever won as many honors in any sport as Bethel High School
has done this year in basketball. For instance:
1. Both the Bethel boys and gills squads won the Haywood
* County championship.
2. Both the boys and girls squads won the regular-season title
in the Blue Ridge Conference. 'The conference championship was
- won by another Haywood County quintet ? Canton. Bethel did not
participate,
3. The Bethel bo.^s ran roughshod over three opponents to
win the Western District Class A championship last week at Enka.
- Tonight they will go after the state crown at Greensboro, meeting
fc Red Springs.
_ 4. Bethel's basketball beginners won both the boys and girls
'm divisions of the recent county ninth-grade tournament.
During the season, the BHS teams lost only once in county
play ? the boys to Canton, the girls to Crabtree. But both losses were
? later avenged.
Whether Bethel brings back the bacon from Greensboro or
not, both the Blue Demons and the Belles have heaped a lot of honor
on the Blue and White this year.

That was the answer The Moun
taineer received from one of the
commercial fishermen during the ,
seining of Lake Junaluska for
rough Ash.
NThe story was making the rounds
'that some carp would bury them
selves in the mud and remain there
until the lake was filled again.
! "A carp cannot live in mud
more than a couple of hours. He
has to have water just like any oth
[ er fish. It is true that he stays
i j on the bottom, and hovers around j
? the muddy places, but he cannot ;
live in the mud." the expert said. !
"A caro is a tough fish?by that i
1 mean, he can be handled rough- :
er tban any other fish, but when it j
comes to living in our out of water ;
he is no different from a bass, or 1
bream.
j "Our business is catching carp
and selling them on the market,
or to re-stocking fish ponds. We
know the habits of carp, and if you
ever find one in the mud, you'll
know he got stuck there by acci
dent and not froth choice. Their
. gills are not made to stay under
the mud. They are a member of
the sucker family, yet their chief
source of food is grass, especially j
wild celery.
"The carp is not a scavenger by '
nature. He becomes a scavenger
only when there is a lack of na- A
tural food for him. A carp's Arst ?
love for food is the eggs of other *
fish, and then the small finger
lings. And this is why it is hard for gm
game fish to thrive wfiere there are
manv carp. Carp tear up the nests.
' eat the eggs and what few fish do
hatch, the carp are alwavs on the
lookout for them when they start ci
to grow." ' im
"Carp is delicious when proper- da
, ly bakd. Thev are kept in large c0
i tanks on the northern markets,
nroperly fed. and when sold are
taken from the tanks of clear, clean <-'.a
water, killed and cooked. v''
"Down on the coast, in the
sounds. I have seen acres of wild 1U1
celerv chewed un bv feeding earn. .
"Don'? undersell a earn, he's not ^
( bad excent for living off of eees an
nf other fi?h. As for his meat, it is , r
delicious when properly prepared." p,,

j Baltimore. He caught last year at A\
Kansas City for the first time, fa
Since 1931 he had bee* a first base- ( Cr
man but switched last soring. He
was the elub's leading hitter with ?
.296 and hit 18 homers. He showed ?
vast improvement as the season ||
progressed. 1 believe the peoole j
