Mr. Brown stated that he was happy to see this far-reaching co operative plan developed in, the Enka-Candler Area so that closer relationship between all the people of the county and the health add welfare planning committee of the community chest might be achieved. Participation of the people in lo cal neighborhoods who are inter ested in the program will create a democratic basis for the use of the community chest red feather services. Because the community chest is a community-wide program for Buncombe county, Mr. Brown com plimented the citizens in the Enka- Candler area who participated in the organization of the Hominy Valley section of the community planning council. C.C. Marr, president of the Hom iny Valley section of the commun ity planning council, stated that he was happy to see this develop ment take place, since it should provide an expansion of the acti vities of all of the red feather ser vices of the community chest in this neighborhood. In addition, those who are in need of advice and assistance will receive in a direct fashion the benefits of a demo cratic organization. This should provide better planning and more direct service for those in need. The committee plans to meet monthly, to work closely with the community chest program of Bun combe county, and to provide peo ple residing in Hominy Valley op portunity to participate in the dis cussions regarding services that are desirable and needed in the community. As a result of this ac tion, the Budget Committee of the Community Chest of Buncombe County has allocated specific funds for the use of the local committee in meeting emergencies within the area of their responsibility.

Dr. Miller, the author of several books in the field of soc iology, has traveled and taught all over the world and has taught at a number of different colleges in this country. His experience in the field of sociology have kept him in the position of leader wherever he has been. For his work with the people of Czechoslovakia, which culminated in his being a co-author of the Czechoslovakia Declaration of Independence, he was decorated with “The order of The White Lion.” In a few words to the students and faculty, Dr. Miller reviewed some of the highlights of his life. He mentioned that this was by no means the first time that he had announced his retirement but that he thought he would really go through with it this time.. The occasion was further height ened by the fact that it was Dr. and Mrs. Miller’s forty-fourth wedding anniversary. Mrs. Miller is the daughter of a college president and has spent her entire life on college campuses. She is the sister of Paul D.

C. 2 Batters-Three Base Runners- Don’t Add Up o The Lions—whom the Jaycees say can tell another Lion in the dark by the squeaking of his joints —will attempt to make it one up when they take on the Junior Chamber of Commerce at the Grammar school field tonight. The Jaycees won the first game and the second ended in a draw. There was quite a discussion fol lowing the second game which ended in a tie when the lights went out and could not be coaxed to light up again. With the score tied, and the Lions at bat, the lights flickered and went out. Although they were out but a few minutes when they came on again there were three Lions on base where but a few seconds before, the Jaycees main tain. there had been but two. In fact how could there be three men on base when only two had bat ted, the Juniors say. “I heard a Lion moving around in the dark but I thought it was Will Holman, Charlie Spencer, or J. O. Williams changing walking canes,” a Jaycee saidr “I knew it was a Lion because when he walked his joints sounded like a wagon wheel that had been dry for a month. Imagine my surprise when the lights came on and there he was perched on third base. I’m sure that more than one was in on the plot because several of his mates were standing middle way between home plate and third with a wheel chair ready to wheel the old boy home. While the terrific argument was going on as to who was on base and how he got there, the lights settled the whole thing by acting up and going to bed for the night. Not satisfied the Junior Chamber issued another challange and it was immediately accepted. Lions are asked to remain per fectly still tonight during any black out period. The police have orders to fire one round of moth balls at any squeaking sound oc curring near a base while the lights are out. Hosiery Mill Tames Baptists For First Win —°— t Those up and roaring knitters from the Black Mountain Hosiery Mill, finally did what they had been threatening to do all season when they wove out Tuesday night and spun themselves a victory over the Baptists, 13 to 12. No one was surprised that they finally won their first game of the season. The great mystery has been how they could go on losing with the type of players they had on the field. Their first win wasn’t easy. In fact it took a 10 run rally in the fifth inning to sew up the game. Logan, Cordell, and Vernon col lected two base hits, Marett slam med out a three bagger, and Med ford hit a homer. RETURN FROM TRIP Mr. and Mrs. C. M.
