A. Patton, Sr. I.ost In Atlanta— Or With Clyde Dabbs Over The Fourth Holidays When you go to the big city, . Dabbs suggests that you either nde the bus or train or take along a ballon to float from your car of you drive. Last week in Atlanta Clyde, genial proprietor of the Blue Kidge Donut shop, alighted from his car and went for a stroll a long the great white way. All went well until Dabbs started back to where he THOUGHT he left his car. Two hours and many miles of taxi riding later a weary taxi driver pointed across the street and asked eagerly: “Isn’t that your car over there?” ‘‘No, that couldn’t be it,” Dabbs insisted. “I wasn’t even in this end of town.” But to satisfy the taxi man he went and looked—and it was his car. Jaycees Decide To Postpone “Fun For You” Acting on advice of local phy sicians and the county health au thorities. the Black Mountain junior chamber of commerce late Wednesday afternoon decided to postpone their big show “Fun For You” which had been scheduled for the grammar school auditor ium Friday and Saturday nights, July 23 24, Oscar Tinney, presi dent, revealed. The announcement came after the first section of the NEWS had gone to press with the front page story that the show would be held. Dr. Eugene Knoefel, Dr. Sam Cooley, and Dr. C. D. Thomas were among those whom the jaycee committee asked for advice be fore deciding on postponement. President Tinney and the board of directors decided to postpone the show until such time as au thorities deem it safe for crowds to gather. Big Ten Through July 9. At bat 30 times or more AB R H Pet.

Notice! * Montreat Concert Is Called Off Because the concert by the Transylvania Music camp band had been arranged for Montreat, Saturday evening, July 17, as a special attraction for children and young people on the Montreat conference grounds, the Mountain Retreat association of which Dr. J. Rupert McGregor is president decided Wednesday that in order to comply with the recommenda tions of county health officers that gatherings of children and young people be called off, the concert has been canceled. If at a later date this season the polio situation clears up, Dr. McGregor said that an effort will he made to arrange a date for the band to come to Montreat, since this, in other seasons, has been one of the highlights for children and young people at this Presbyterian conference ground.

Jack Mil bee, Nordhielm, and Tull led the winners with two hits each. Lee Marett and T. Greene pasted two apiece for the losers.

II Missing Ping Pong Table Is Mystery To Baffle Detectives The big mystery around town these days is ‘what happened to the ping pong table.?” The table, which belonged to Jim Dougherty of the Black Moun tain Lumber company, was last seen in the club room the fire department. Believing that it was still there Mr. Dougherty donated it to the youth center for use at the high school. Then the fun started. When Gene Byrd went to the fire depart ment to pick it up, he learned that it had disappeared sometime dur ing the war years. If any one has any idea where the ping pong tab le is now, he will do a great ser vice by either falling the NEWS or Mr. Byrd. The table is badly needed at the youth center. Junior Legion Champions Will Be Given Trip Announcement has been made by Woodcock Motor Co., local Ford dealer, that the American Legion Junior Baseball championship teams of North and South Caro lina will be given a free trip, via chartered plane, to Detroit, Mich., as guest of the Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealers in the Charlotte district. In cooperation with the Ford Motor Company, plans are now being made for the event which will take place during the early part of September. The ex act date will be announced as soon as possible after completion of elimination tournaments which are now under way. Last year’s champions (Kannap olis, N. C., and Greenwood, S. C.) were given the same trip, and it proved to be highly educational and entertaining. Leaving the Charlotte, N. C., airport at 8:30 a. m. the two DC-3 planes arrived at Willow Run air port at noon. There, two Ford busses met the teams and took them directly to Ford’s aircraft building cafeteria for luncheon. Afterwards they witnessed a game between the Detroit Tigers and the Boston Red Sox. That evening they attended a banquet and were —Cont’d on Page 2, Sec. II Stephenson Is Leading Hurler PITCHING RECORDS Through July 9. W L K. Gray, F. C. 1 0 Stephenson, F.
