If you should happen to see a young girl eyeing your child with unusual ! interest, don’t jump to the con clusion that you have caught a prospective kidnaper and call the police, because the young lady in question may be a member of the ' newly formed Baby Sitters Club of Black Mountain. She will more than likely be interested in your baby but in a professional way only. As a new club must have money on which to operate, the girls de cided to pool their resources, ad vertise for business, and go to work to raise money for activi ties of the club. The said resources at the time consisted of five club members, a dime each, which went to pay for their ad in the classified section of this issue of the NEWS, and plenty of enthu siasm for steady baby sitting. “Don’t stay home nights be cause of your children,” the girls say, ‘‘but let us do your worrying for you.” All are experienced teenagers who will care for any baby, male or female, up to—well —be reasonable. And they main tain that their rates are reason able, too. Members of the club, who were all highly recommended by their former pastor, are Joyce Gouge, Betty May Tribble, Barbara Ann Tribble, Joyce Silvers, and Reba Gouge. So if any of you parents are worrying about being tied down nights or afternoons because of your children, just dial 5452 and an experienced baby sitter will be on the scene within a few min utes to relieve you of your worries. Stop! Don’t turn the page. Call now. The girls may all have a job by the time you get to the classi fied section. Believe Some Checks Were Destroyed On June 7 and 8, at or about i eigjhtj o’clock at night, sey/eral pieces of mail were stolen from lock boxes in the lobby of the Black Mountain post office. The culprits opened the boxs;s by man ipulating the combination locks. I Some mail has been recovered but it is believed that some of it was totally destroyed. Anyone expecting checks on or about the dates of this theft should com municate with the senders with a view to having duplicates issued. At least on e small parcel was taken from the boxes. A child’s dress was recovered but the label is missing and the owner can not be identified. The wrapping of this parcel would indicate that it was being sent as a gift.

Two runs crossed the plate on Marett’s liner to center. , Styles drove in the tying run with a single to the same spot, j The Friendship Chapel boys put down a slight uprising in the sixth. Greene punched one into left for one base, and Tyson hit safely to left, but both died on base. ’ Running for Styles, Marett j scored the winning run in the last of th e seventh. In an attempt to trap the base runner the catch er whipped the ball down to third, but the throw went wild and hit Marett in the back.
