Marrett Wins For
Presbyterians
With Home Run
Lee Marett’s long home run that
scored Styles and Tyson ahead of
him broke the camel’s back and
gave the Presbyterians a 4 to 3
decision over the fighting Metho
dists in a league softball game
Monday night. In the opener
Friendship Chapel blasted the
Baptists, 13-11, on six hits.
The victory' by the Presbyter
ians was more than a storybook
finish. After they had gone into
the seventh leading, the winners
lost sight of victory when Demp
sey Whitaker slipped to the plate
for the Mthodists and blasted one
of Style’s pitches out of the lot
with Nordhielm on base. But the
lead faded when Styles and Tyson
singled and Lee Marett stepped
up and whacked one out of sight.
The Chty>eTs win over the Bap
tists proved among other things
that the Friendship boys can score
more runs on fewer hits than any
team in the league. They solved
the offerings of Pug Morgan for
only six hits but made them count
for 13 runs.

TAYLOR CALLS FOR
(Cont’d From Page 1, Sec. I)
community to build a school build
ing. I believe that the state should
use part of the present surplus
to help encourage local commun
ities in building school plants. 1
favor, too, the reduction of the
teacher load from 35 to 30 pupils.
I realize that to accomplish this
we must have more teachers and
more classrooms.
“There were three children
born in the state in 1947 for every
two born in 1939,” he continued,
“and within 10 vears our school
enrollment will have increased by
50 per cent.”
The Buncombe county legislator
is a member of one of the advisory
committees appointed by the state
education commission to study
and recommend changes in the
state school system.
On the road front Mr. Taylor
maintains that the school bus
routes, mail routes, and farm-to
market roads must be kept open
the -ear around. “We have 10,000
miles of paved or surfaced roads
and 48,000 miles of secondary
roads. We are making almost no
progress on improving the latter,”
he observed. “We must launch an
extended program for surfacing a
great number of these roads. If
a state bond issue is necessary to
finance such a program, the people
of the state should be permitted
to vote on the issue. I favor, too,
the state giving the cities and
towns $2,000,000 rather than
$1,000,000 out of the gas tax fund
for building and repairing city
streets.”
Although he supported the
good health program, the young
legislator believes that it does not
provide properly for the school
health needs. Rather he sees a
more beneficial program as one in
which the school child would have
his defects, such as bad tonsils,
bad teeth, and bad eyes corrected
through a well financed program
which provides for frequent exam
ination of school children followed
by treatment in clinics. And this
treatment should be at the ex
pense of the state in cases where
the parents are not in a position
to bear the expense. Such a bill
was introduced at the last session
but did not get through.
Mr. Taylor is in favor of legi
slation that will provide more
fully for the disabled or un
fortunate veteran or for the mem
bers of his family. “I fvr
legislation that protects seniority
and retirement rights of the
veteran so as to make sure that
he is not punished for leaving his
job and going into the service of
his country.”
Os local legislation the demo
cratic candidate was opposed to
the bill which separated the City
of Asheville from the rest of Bun
combe county for the purpose of
a vote on ABC store.
“Everyone should vote in the
coming primary and election, “the
former Black Mountain school
teacher asserts. “In contrast to
Italy where 94 per cent of the
eligible voted in the last general
election, our recods show that less
than 50 per cent of the eligibles
vote here. All free American
citizens should go to the polls and
vote. By not voting, a citizen is
contributing to bad government.”
There are four candidates for
the three positions. In addition to
Mr. Taylor they are Henry Fisher,
Asheville attorney, incumbent,
J. E. Divelbiss, Jr., Asheville busi
ness man, and Leslie H. McDaniel
of Oteen.
