Thoughtful Thief Replaces Gas Used In Stolen Truck When Robert S. Leonard, Bun combe county's master hog farmer, parked his truck at the court house last week and took the elevator to the farm bureau meet ing he had no inkling of the trouble which a thief, lurking in the bushes, Mr. Leonard believes, would cause. Two or three hours later when Mr. Leonard came out of the meeting, he found his truck gone. He hastily felt in his pocket to see if he had unintentionally left the keys in the truck, but they w-ere in his pocket. He searched the immediate vicinity but without success He reluctantly stepped “around" the block and reported the loss to the state police who went into action. The following night the state police called. His truck had been found on a side street in Char lotte, unharmed and good as new except for a scratch or two on the front fender. Mr. Leonard and the police believe the rascal made the dent when he left the parking place hurriedly in front of the court house and not too far from police headquarters. The Black Mountain farmer, who walked off with a truck load of blue ribbons with his entries from Highland Farm at the state fair last fall, made the trip to Charlotte next day to pick up the truck. Although it cost him a day’s time, bus fare, and a dollar storage fee, Mr. Leonard was pleased that the thief was so thoughtful. He not only took good care of the Swann.

Assisting With Ser Junior Women Plan For Funds Is Different The members of the Black Mountain Junior Woman’s club seemed to be asking the question “How can we earn more money?” We have our annual Fashion Show, Rummage Sales, etc., and there are always bake sales and bridge parties to rely on; but Black Moun tain is a small community and we despaired of asking the same people to continually support our functions. We decided to invest our talents and a little money and see what happened. Each girl started with an original investment of $1.00. She could use the money in any way she wished. Some bought flow er seeds and will sell plants later. Some are baking cookies, cakes and pies. One girl will take your order for loaf bread and deliver it HOT in time for your dinner. There is a great deal of inter est in this project because each girl can do what she wants and what she does best—also she can do it at her conveniece. We can’t wait until our two-month invest ment period is up to hear the various ways the money was in vested. Of this we’re sure—it’s been fun and hasn’t seemed like work. Samples of our individual pro jects will be displayed in Lormay’s Department Store after March 10 for those who are interested in purchasing them.

CLASSIFIEDS SELI_Phone 4101 i. lie uiutn luuuuiuiu 511 10 uu vanced to the semifinals of the Buncombe county tournament Wednesday night by downing a highly potent Sand Hill six, 45 to 37 before a standing-room-only crowd of more than 3000 at the City Auditorium. The Sand Hill sextet, with Goode pacing the attack, made a fight of it all the way and it was the great work of the Black Mountain guards that made the difference in the final score. V. Cooper, Thompson, Molloy, and Ballew proved the undoing of the losers by their rebounding, passing, and aggressive floor play. Madge Wilhide, one of the top scoring aces of the county, gave the locals a two point margin, 18 16, as the first period ended. Eve lyn Cooper, who led the scoring for the evening with 24 points, hit a free throw and a field goal to make it 21-16. Wilhide tossed in another free throw to raise the count to 22-16 before Goode hit for Sand Hill on a sling shot from the side. The Black Mountain girls, aided by a long set shot by Payne and goals by Wilhide and Cooper kept up the advantage to take a 30 to 24 halftime lead. Shortly after the half the Sand Hill ace, Goode, struck a hot streak and the losers drew to within two points of the winners. But Wilhide and Cooper found the range to run the count to 39-30 at the third period. Coach Eugene Byrd’s charges played it safe in the final quarter. They passed the ball around out in front of the defense and took few shots. The outstanding per formance of the Black Mountain backcourt trio was instrumental in keeping the enemy at a com fortable distance until the final whistle. Tn the final game of the quarter finals last Saturday night the Candler boys pulled one of the upsets of the tournament by hand ing the Darkhorses a 55 to 51 de feat. Black Mountain was behind at the half but made it a close game right down to the finish. Dale Ritchie was high scorer for both teams with 21. Girls’ Lineup: Black Mtn.
