Robbinsville 19-6
By: Red Schuyler
After winning two straight
games, the Bulldogs lost to the
Robbinsville Black Knights
19-6 Friday night on the local
athletic field. The Black Kni
ghts brought to town one of
the best football teams that
has been seen around these
parts in a long time.
The Bulldogs got off to a
good start receiving the kick
off and returning it to the 35
yard line. Without relenquish
ing the ball they marched 65
yards to pay dirt for the only
score they were able to g?
With Wayman mixing up his
plays with passes and runn
ing plays, they picked up four
first downs on their march
with Wayman taking it over for
the score from two yards out.
In the touchdown march Way
man passed to Johnny Rogers
for 10 yards, and the rest of
the yardage came on the gro
und with Sheilds, Wells,Stiles
and Wayman gaining yard
age on every play. The try
, for the extra point was no
good.
Penland's kick off was short
and Robbinsville put the ball in
play on the thirty yard line.
Failing to pick up a first down
the Knights were forced to punt
to Wayman on the Bulldog 35
with no return. The Robbins
ville line stifiened and after
picking up four yards on two
tries, Wayman dropped back to
pass and with no protection
whatsoever had to eat the ball
for an eight yard loss. Way
man kicking from his thirteen
yard line boomed one down to
Jackson on the 21 yard line
where he was tackled in his
tracks by Haskel Roberson.
After picking up seven yards,

the next play and with second
and twenty, Wayman dropped
back to pass and it was picked
off by David Crowe who after
eluding several would beBull
dog tackier s ran it back about
seventy yards before finally
being brought down by Dor
Stevens. Robbinsville was gui
lty of a clipping penalty on the
Robbinsville eighteen yard
line and it was all in vain and
Robbinsville had to start from
the point of penalty.
On the next series of plays
with Jackson and Wachacha
carrying the ball, Robblnsvtlle
picked up their first down of
the night. Failing to gain or
the next three plays.Robblns

was no good and it was a tie
game.

on the Bulldog 10, Wayman
returned it to the 18 yard
line. Failing to move the ball,
Wayman kicked out again, this
time the ball took a Murphy
bounce and rolled dead on the

EDITORIAL:
We Are Unwilling To Lie
Down And Let Freedom Die
There ?re many learned and calm arguments against
war.
The Scout subscribes to each one of them. There is no
excuse for war among intelligent human beings.
Human history has proven that intelligence is not always
the leading light, however.
There are wars. Wars will likely continue for some
centuries to come. And the wars will grow more and
more terrible, if that is possible.
Today there are many voices raised against the war in
Viet Nam. Specifically, there are many voices against U.S.
involvement in Viet Nam.
The Scout believes this is a necessary battle. If freedom
is a human necessity, and we believe it is, then the
Viet Nam fight is necessary beyond question.
There are those who question. Some do it for lack of
understanding, of for purely selfish reasons. Some pose
questions that are purely academic and idealistic.
The practical truth about Viet Nam is that it is a
Communist inspired trouble spot on our rather small globe
of earth. The globe is not a vast disjointed world of
nations and coustoms that rarely meet. It is a small
teeming place where we all rub shoulders each day.
Viet Nam is half a world away, yet only a few short
hours by warplane or passenger plane. The attack there
or anywhere by Communists, who are in an admitted
effort to rule the world, is a direct attack on you and me.
Indeed, a Communist front anywhere in this world is
an attack on you if you are freedom loving.
So, while we are against war, we are not willing to
lie down and die or let freedom die, whether it be in Viet
Nam or Murphy, U.S.A.
laycees Endorse 'Stay
Tough' In Viet Nam
Dear Editor:
In the last few days the
news media has given much'
publicity to the demonstrat
ions against our country's
policy in Viet Nam and to the
burning of draft cards.
1 would like to speak for
one group of Americans who
love their country enough to
fight to preserve our way of
life.
As President of the Murphy
Jaycees, I am but one of
260,000 young meninAmerica
who has endorsed a stay-tough
policy in Viet Nam.
Our National Jaycee Presi
dent, James A. Skidmorejr.
reported our stand to Presi
dent Johnson a few days ago
explaining that we realize that
"to achieve victory over
communist aggression, force
as well as diplomatic re
sources are often necessary."
In 1940, the United States
Jaycees were the first civic
organization to endorse a
peace time draft, knowing that
91% of its members might
be called on to defend their
country.
As far back as 1932 the
United States Jaycees were the
first civic group to take a
public stand against commu
nism as a definite threat to
our democratic way of life.
I think the time has come
for us to stand up and say we
are still against communism
and we are prepared to fight
to keep our nation free.
I think the news media
should keep the right per
spective in reporting the news.
The majority of Americans
are ready to defend our nat
ion even though we are not
out demonstrating about it
Our National Jaycee Presi
dent so aptly said it this
way, "As long as there are
men who hate and destroy,
this nation must continue to
have the courage to resist
or all that we have built and
stood for will crumble."
Yours truly.
Tommy Gentry,P resident.

lssac O'Hanlon, Democratic Representative from Cumberland County, discusses the up
coming $300,000,000 Road Bond election with Dr. W. A. Hoover, Chairman of the Cherokee
County Commissioners, and Mrs. Mary Faye Brumby, Representative from Cherokee County.
O'Hanlon Urges 'Yes Vote' For
Road Bonds At Three County Meet
Isaac H. O'Hanlon, repre
sentative from Cumberland
County, urged the voters of
North Carolina to vote for the
J300 million dollar RoadBond
Issue, coming up November
2, at a three-county road
meeting held Saturday, Oct
ober 16 at the Murphy Court
house.
The $300 million dollar
Road Bond Issue will be divi
ded into three categories ,$75
million for secondary roads;
$75 million, urban roads; and
$150 million for primary
roads. The 14th division.which
includes thefar WesternNorth
Carolina Counties will receive
$17,838,300.
The three most western
counties will receive the fol
lowing allocation, Graham,
$299,500; Cherokee, $881,000;
and Clay, $361,100. A further
breakdown of the bond issue
shows that the Town of And
rews will receive $55,100;
Murphy, $87,600, and Hayes
ville, $16,800 for city road
improvement.
"We must work for this
bond issue," O'Hanlon said,
"I sincerely believe that North
Carolina is on the threshold
of its greatest prosperity.
"It is absolutely impera
tive that we have good roads,"
O'Hanlon continued, "these
roads must be safe and must
be well engineered. On high
ways we rank fifth in the
dubious honor of slaughter on
our highways. We are inter
ested in saving lives by con
structing safer highways.
"Tax increase to pay for
these bonds, not one cent.
"It all adds up to this,"
O'Hanlon concluded, "we must
approve the bond program to
have the roads and the road
improvement that we need, and
so I beg you on November
2, to vote for better roads in
North Carolina."
Registration Is
Must For Voters
For those wishing to vote
in the November 2, $300
million Road Bond Issue,
registration is a must.
If you are new in the com
munity or if you have changed
precincts, you must register.
Without proper registration
you will not be eligible to vote
in the November 2 election.
Road Bonds
Gain Support
Support of the proposed
$300,000,000 Road Bond Issue
and the. proposed constitu
tional amendment authorizing
the General Assembly to
create a Court of Appeals in
the Appellate Division of the
General Courts of Justice was
announced today by J. Mel
Thompson, President of the
North Carolina Savings and
Loan League. Thompson stat
ed that the board of directors
of the North Carolina Savings
and Loan League took this act
ion by resolutions adopted at
its meeting, Wednesday at the
League Office in Greensboro.
In announcing the support
of the 182 Member Associa
tions of the Savings and Loan
industry in the state, Thomp
son stated that the League's
Board of Directors recom
mended the adoption of both
proposals because they feel
that continued economic pro
gress in North Carolina de
pends very heavily on a good,
safe highway program as well
as on a modern, efficient court
system.
Thompson said that it was
the opinion of the Board of
Directors that both these
measures are in the best in
terest of the citizens of our
state and urged their adopt
ion at the polls on November
2, 1965.
