Setzer. district deputy grand patron, of the 20th district; 10 grand chapter committee members, 10 worthy matrons and patrons, and 15 past matrons and patrons. Mrs. Halliburton’s message of inspiration was entitled, “The Lamplighters." Her closing words were a challenge to all present. “Would you like to become a lamplighter?” Prior to the meeting, a banquet was held at the Swannanoa com munity center, honoring the Worthy Grand Matron. Mrs. Marg aret W. Campfield, worthy matron, chose as a theme for the banquet. “Our W'orthy Grand Matron’s Foot prints of Accomplishments on the Marble Steps of Time.” This theme was chosen because it was one of the goals mentioned in the Golden Jubilee session in Charlotte last June, and because we feel that she is well on her way to attaining that goal. The tables were arranged to form the letter “T”, except for the Worthy Grand Matron’s table, which was placed at the top of . the “H” and outside the letter ; itself. They were decorated with a path of footprints down the strewn along the path. Slippers . made of purple construction pajx;r and gold tinsel, each bearing a , word written in gold on the sole of the slipper, were used to re present the footprints our Worthy . Grand Matron is making for us ' to follow. They were arranged . on the tables so that the first let ter of each word would spell, “We welcome our Worthy Grand Ma tron, Sister Hilda. She is able, charitable, faithful, kind, just, ap preciative, affable.” In the center of the letter “H” and facing the Worthy Grand Matron's table was placed a pair of steps covered With white satin to represent the marble steps of time, on which the following foot . prints were arranged, beginning at the bottom step as though , climbing: H-elpfulness, Integrity, , L-oveliness, D-ignity, Ability, the first letter of each word spelling | the Worthy Grand Matron’s first | name. .

Owen Takes Erwin 34-13, Will Play Billmore Friday Owen High school gridders, with the Erwin High scalp safely tucked away in their belt, will attempt to make it two Buncombe county conference victories in a row when they take on the highly regarded Biltmore Yellowjackets at Memor ial Stadium Friday evening at 8:00 o’clock. '•’he Darkhorses, with a couple of fast backs leading the way, be hind a hard charging line, trounced Erwin, 34 to 13, under the lights at Oakley last Friday evening. The locals marched to a touch down the first time they got the ball The scoring play was a 26 yard run by Ensley who broke through the line and outran the Erwin defenders. Gill ran the extra point. Ei-win fought back and shoved over a score near the close of the quarter but missed the try for point. From there on Katie never did bar the door and the War horses tried their wings as they built up the final score. When the smoke had cleared Ensley had scored a second touchdown, Gill two and David Hamby one on a pass from Gravette. Coach Vernon Kyker gave most of the reserves an opportunity to show their stuff and they per formed quite well. The Warhorses came through the Erwin game in good shape and should be in top physical condition for the Biltmore encounter. Dan Wilson, veteran center, will be ready for action. He was injured in the Asheville High game. Although the locals have shown improvement, in Biltmore they’ll meet a team with an excellent pass ing attack, a heavy line, and fast, elusive backs. The coaching staff has drilled the boys long and hard this week on pass defense and they’ll need to be better against the scrappy Biltmore out fit. The Yellowjackets are dang erous on the ground or in the air. One of the greatest improve ments shown by Owen has been - in the kicking department. Last week for the first time this sea son they had none blocked. Rob inson was getting off some ex cellent boots and the line was : holding. Last week’s score: Owen 7 14 6 7—34 Erwin 6 7 0 0—13 Reynolds Pacing Buncombe County Conference Loop Reynolds High, unbeaten and untied after two games, gained on Enka in the fight for the Bun combe County Conference lead last week on the strength of a 13-0 victory over Biltmore. The Jets from Enka, who still hold a tie for the top spot on percentage, were busy in a Blue Ridge Conference tussle with Can ton. Canton won, 20-7. Owen’s Warhorses climbed into contention with an impressive 34 1 13 win over Erwin. It was the : Warhorses’ conference opener and they made the best of it to throw the lead position into a three-way ' deadlock. North Buncombe, still wilness in the conference, pasted a 19-0 defeat on Mars Hill in a non loop encounter to serve notice on the circuit clubs that the Hawks might bear watching. Enka and Owen return to the conference wars this week. The Jets meet Erwin at Oakley and the Warhorses take on Biltmore in Asheville’s Memorial stadium Friday at 8 p.m. The Standings: CONFERENCE GAMES W L T pf pa 2 0 0 39 C 1 0 0 13 7 Reynolds J Enka Owen Biltmore N.

These Trees May Have To Be Shown The Calendar The seasons are really mixed up around Black Mountain. Two or three weeks ago a dog wood in the yard of Dr. and Mrs. Howard Kester at High Top Colony decided to take things into its own hands and blossomed forth | in all its majestic glory. I This must be a trend among the I trees of this area. No sooner was the story of the Kester bloom ing circulated than a dogwood in the yard of Dr. James Love caught fire and started pushing out red berries. And that isn’t 8 all. A cherry tree in the yard of ‘ Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Greene burst ‘ out with blooms and buds. This has been a strange season, j Next spring Kester, Love, and Greene will probably have to show their trees the calendar to prove 1 that the real season for budding ’ and blooming has arrived. And that’s the blooming truth. Mary Campbell Is Engaged To J Ardith Taylor Mrs. S. S. Thomas of Black Mountain announces the engage ’ ment of her daughter Mary Frances ’ Campbell to Ardith F.

Woman's Club In Finals For Award Of $1,000 Bond The Black Mountain Woman's club has been nominated for the 1955 Carol Lane Awards for Traf fic Safety, it has been announced by the National Safety council. The Black Mountain Woman’s club was cited for its continuous activity in traffic safety through out the entire year. The club di rected most of its activities to wards school safety programs and stricter law enforcement and bet ter traffic programs for the town, due to the heavy tourist trade in the summer. The Carol Lane Awards, now in their fifth year, are the first na tionally to recognize and reward women's achievement in the field of traffic safety and are admin istered by the National Safety council through a grant from Shell Oil company. They are presented annually to three American wom en for fostering and promoting traffic safety programs in their community or state, and to three women’s or parents’ clubs for mak ing the most outstanding group effort for traffic safety in their communities or states. Top awards to the outstanding individual woman and club consist of $1,000 defense bonds and a sculpture in bronze symbolizing “woman’s protective instinct.” Second and third place winners in each category receive, respec tively, $500 and $250 in savings bonds, along with a bas-relief plaque of the statue. Presentation of the awards will be made in October at the Na tional Safety council’s annual Congress in Chicago. Winners will be guests of Shell Oil com pany at the award ceremony with special entertainment arranged for their pleasure.

Booster Club For Athletics To Be Formed All patrons of Owen High school and sports fans of the Black Mountain - Swannanoa community have been invited to attend a gen eral meeting at the Owen auditor ium on Monday evening, Sept. 26, at 7:30. Purpose of the meeting is to take steps necessary to the forming of a booster club for athletics in the school. Principal problems at present are lighting of the football field and a stadium. Grading of the field was completed recently and the grass will be sown soon. How ever. it is doubtful if the sod will be firm enough for a game to be played at home this season. An estimate on the cost of light ing the field has been secured.
