This was more than bprne out F r Mav night when the All-Stars riiiyed Oakley here in what league j,, .lent Gene Byrd proclaims as •h, final game of the season, j; ere was plenty of the sports t' ship displayed for which Thick Mountain has come to be famous. But the crowning touch. I came in a late inning when j Robertson called himself out on a ! siav which had been missed by the umpire. Thus is concluded what has been called the most successful soft ball eason ever. And while on the subject we should not forget that ;j w as the junior chamber of com merce that erected the lights and shouldered the responsibility for I the league throughout the season.

E. Keith, Phil McElrath, the Rev. W. A. Huneycutt, Douglas Jones, Paul Richardson. Gordon Green wood, Carl Myers, and Everette Stephenson. Dues may be paid to any member of this committee or to Chairman Potter at the Potter Feed store. The Legion will meet the first Tuesday night of each month either at the city hall or at the new hall.

Commander Honeycutt urges all members of the post to get their caps as soon as possible. New Gray Ladies Get Certificates Mrs. Bessie Carr, executive secretary, presented certificates to six women at the Gray Lady graduation held Sept. 2 in the lounge of the Swannanoa Division VA hospital. Caps and pins were presented by Mrs. Frank Buckner and Mrs. Otto Leeger, Jr., chair man of Gray Ladies. The six receiving certificates have completed a 12 hour lecture course given by VA hospital and Red Cross personnel and have served a minimum of 20 hours in the hospital since completing the course.
