East Yancey Player Os The Week Marty Johnson has been chosen as East Yancey’s Player of the Week for his performance against North west Ashe Friday night. Marty was a standout on defense making numerous tackles and intercepting two key passes. Marty is a junior lineback er and continued to play exceptional football although he was playing with an injury. Other players to be cited for their Friday night perfor mance are Dennis Anders and Burl Huskins, both of whom gained over 100 yards rushing and Gordon Silvers who played fine defense and set up East Yancey’s second touch down with a fumble recovery on the 1-foot-line. East Yancey is proud of these fine football players. the Sixth Grade. Congratulations to the winners were extended by everyone, and sponsors of the festival wish to thank all those persons who helped to make it a fine success. Merchants who contribu ted food or door prizes to the Bald Creek School include Bruce Laws for RC Company, Second Win Os Season: Panthers Defeat Mountaineers The East Yancey Panthers hosted the Northwest Ashe Mountaineers Friday night at the Panther field and defeated them by a score of 19-12. After a scoreless first quarter Flanker Johnny Miller ran a reverse for 31 yards and a touchdown. Jeff Bailey kicked the extra point to give the Panthers a 7-0 lead. In the second quarter Northwest came right back, however, intercepting a Gary Winters pass and ran it in from 35 yards out. The try for extra point failed, giving the Panthers a 7-6 halftime lead. Late in the third quarter Gordon Silvers dropped on a Northwest fumble on North west’s 1 footline and Quarte - back Gary Winters sneaked it over. The extra point attempt failed and the Panthers held a 13-6 lead. The Panther Defense, playing their best game of the year, held Northwest to a total of 9 yards rushing for the night. After Northwest failed to move the ball, East Yancey took over and when their drive stalled attempted a 35-yd field goal. The attempt was no good and Northwest took over. East Yancey’s Defense again held the Mountaineers and the Panthers, behind the running of Dennis Anders and .Burl Huskins, marched down ' the field and scored with Anders scoring from 12 yards out to give the Panthers a 19-6 lead with 55 seconds left in the game. Anders and Husk ins both ran the ball well with Anders gaining 126 yards and Youthful - Runaways Increase BY JIM BURNS N.C. Dept. Human Resources The number of North Caro lina children running away fro m their homes to other states has increased by 1% percent since 1971. Most of these ran to Florida. During fiscal year 1973-74, there were 220 runaway child ren under 18 years of age returned to North Carolina from other states. At the same time this state returned 198 children to other states. These figures, however, only represent those cases receiving services through the Interstate Compact on Juveniles. All 50 states and the District of Columbia now are members of the Interstate Compact on Juveniles. Under provisions of the compact services are pro vided to non-delinquent run aways, delinquent runaways, juveniles on probation, and juveniles on conditional releases or parole. Because of variations in state laws, a person who is a juvenile in one state may not be so considered in another. The compact meets this problem by applying the law of the state from which the juvenile ori ginally comes. If he is a juvenile under its law, he is a juvenile to all compact member states. The formal or informal method may be used to return a runaway youth. The informal method of return is used when the runaway is willing to return to his state of residence. With the informal method the juve nile may show his responsibility in making a decision by signing a consent for voluntary return, the formal method of return involves the issuance of a formal requisition through the juvenile court. This method is used when the runaway refuses to return. North Carol'.,-, assumes the costs of its rui «v >vs if the parent or legal Cu~ . uian is financially unable to reimburse all or part of the cost of transportation. Parents of runaway children needing help should contact the juvenile court in the county where they live.

Northwest scor ed with 48 seconds left and attempted an onside kick which failed and the Panthers ran out the clock to preserve Pilgrims Missed The First Thanksgiving Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving in America? It was not the Pilgrims but Eng lish settlers in Virginia more than a year before the Pilgrims set foot on Massachusetts’ fa mous rock. America’s first Thanksgiving was celebrated at the site of Berkeley Plantation on the north bank of the James River —an obscured fact acknowl edged by former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson during their terms of office. History records that on De cember 4, 1619, 39 settlers in cluding Capt. John Woodlief stepped from their small ship “Margaret” onto Virginia soil not far from what is now Rich mond, the capital city. On that same day, the weary settlers completed instructions from the London Company which read, “Wee ordaine the day of our ships arrivell at the place assigned for plantacon in the land of Virginia shall be yearly and perpetually keept holy as a day of Thanksgiving to Al mighty God.” That first Thanksgiving cer emony is re-enacted annually at the Berkeley Plantation, a magnificent Georgian mansion and working farm built in 1726 by the Harrison family which produced two Presidents. This year, the re-enactment will be held November 3, at 2:00 p.m. Tickets include the commemo ration, colorful festivities and plantation tour.

Pre-Schooleirs At Play Are Never Out Os Work A case can be made that peo ple IV4 through 5 have the best jobs around. Think about it No clocks to punch, no deadlines or per formance standards to meet, no way to get fired. The youngest in that age bracket are too cute to be held to account; the old est are almost as well fixed, with the demands of first grade school still to come; and all of them, the youngest and the oldest, can spend most of their waking hours at playtime occupations and jobs. “Jobs? You gotta be kid ding.” Nope, no kidding, because as any observant mother can tell you, and as child-development experts will confirm, kids at play, especially the IV4 -5-year olds, are seriously engaged in the work of their choice with the tools of their trade. The “tools,” of course, as you might guess, are toys, and about SSOO million worth are bought every year to insure that some 15 million toddlers and pre-schoolers are well equipped for their enjoyable, often educational daily labors. That kind of sales popular ity, according to the trade as sociation, Toy Manufacturers of America, stems from the es sential appeal of the toys and from the high visibility they have for the adult shopper, since most of the items have been on the scene for genera tions. They’re almost always made of wood or plastic; they’re sim ply designed and brightly col ored; they’re easy for small EMYSIffil B* BURNSVILLE ARMY STORE! BURNSVILLE PLAZA SPRUCE PINE ARMY STORE!

Alphabet blocks fit that last description particularly well: The toddler of IH builds and topples towers; the pre schooler of 4 or 5 makes letter arrangements.

Side by side with these fa miliar and traditional play things in the pre-school section of today’s toy departments are some that invite “What will they think of next?” com ments. • A few apply the principle of programming, so that the right action (such as turning a lever correctly) brings the desired result (the pop-up of a cartoon character), for example. Others link pictures and sounds to words. Turn the dial to COW, see Bossy’s picture, pull the string apd hear ... “M-o-o-o.” Laugh and learn, with every day a holiday. Those kids really have it made.
