Mesdames Spence, Stut —Turn to Page 1C How Many of These Odd Fellows Do You Remember? rjpw m Henderson Boots Warhorses To 7-0 Victory. A tight defense inside their own 10, a poor kick that traveled out of bounds on the 17. and the kick ing of Billy Henderson combined to give the Black Mountain-Swan nanoa eleven a 7 to 0 victory over Marshall Friday evening in a con test played under the lights in the Madison county seat. The goal line stand came early in the game when the Tornadoes drove to the goal where the hard charging Black Mountain-Swan nanoa forwards threw them back to cause a fumble which Dan Reese dived on on the 3. After the Warhorses kicked out of danger the teams battled back and forth for the rest of three qiiarters with neither team gaining enough momcn.um to push into paydirt. But in the fourth and final quarter Henderson, who gave the finest exhibition of kicking seen in these parts all season, broke the back and hearts of the Madi son county lads by lifting a long lazy punt that rolled dead on the two yard line. When the enemy kick carried only to the 17. the Warhorses were on their way. Marlin Pat ton, who carries as much drive per pound as any back in WNC, rammed to the 12. Reese and Patton carried to the 7 from where Reese drove over his own left tackle for the touchdown. He hit the line for the extra point. Marshall broke out its best pass ing attack but this backfired wl;en Burleson intercepted on the Tor nado 39. The game ended without further scoring. Henderson, who can kick high and far away or tone it down so that the oval rolls dead short of the end zone when occasion de mands, several times during the evening put the Marshall team in the hole by kicking out of bounds or dead around the two or three yard line. Burleson played a hard game at guard. Friday afternoon the Warhorses will meet the North Buncombe ' eleven at Swannanoa. Black Mtn.-Swannanoa (7) Ends: Martin, Ritchie, Hamby McMahan.

This should prove interesting as well as indicate how good a memory most of us have. SQUIRREL HUNTERS ACCUSED OF SHOOTING FOXES OUT OF SEASON Complaints were registered this week against squirrel hunt ers who during the past few weeks have killed foxes "just to see them die.” The same group. no doubt, would not hesi ate to kill other game out of season. What makes the situation worse is the fact that these so called sportsmen have done this while hunting on other people's land without permis sion. The ultimate result will be that land owners will close their woods and fields to all and post their property with "no hunt ing” and “no trespassing” signs. This can be avoided if all hunters will observe the rules of fair play and give the game, land owners, and other sports men an opportunity to enjoy the same privileges which they have. DR. H. R. MILLER HOME Dr. H. R. Miller has returned home after undergoing surgery in an Asheville hospital. ft Cross Founders Honored On 30th Anniversary Founders of the Black Mountain Swannanoa Chapter of the Amer ican Red Cross were honored at the dinner celebrating the 30th anniversary Monday evening at the Swannanoa Community build ing in Grovemont.

Board Restricts Use Of Water During Emergency An ordinance regulating the use of water during the present emergency has been passed by the mayor and board of aldermen of Ihe Town of Black Mountain. The restrictions are effective immed iately and until further notice. “Be it ordained that an emerg ency is hereby declared due to the shortage of water in the town’s reservoir, said supply being only 30 days.'’ the ordinance said. “That all users of water connected to the Town of Black Mountain’s water system are hereby notified that the above emergency exists and that they are hereby ordered to use water for essential pur poses only: that until properly noti fied it is unlawful to use water for washing cars, watering lawns or shrubbery or any other un necessary use.” The board put teeth in the ord inance and placed punishment for violators at a fine not to exceed $50.00 or imprisonment not to ex ceed 30 days. The' water situation has been getting steadily worse during the past few weeks which rank with some of the driest seasons seen here. There are only four feet of water left in the reservoir, a drop of 18 feet below, normal. The new lake which was completed last year and which has helped materially in holding up the sup ply, ran dry on Oct. 4. This leaves only the limited supply in the reservoir and the water which Montreat has been furnishing without charge to the Town for the customers on the Black Moun tain system. In other business the board voted to guarantee the right-of way and grading of the proposed sidewalk from No. 70 to the high school building. Members of var ious safety groups have been greatly interested in this project. The board also agreed to install a water line from Montreat road up North Fork road for approxi mately 450 feet, provided that Kay Mc&wain and Dick Tarbert. who appeared to request the project, would furnish the pipe. Bids were called for on 9.000 square yards of surface treatment for Black Mountain streets. Miss Melton Bride Of James D. Bailey Miss Pansey Marie Melton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey D.
