It "ill include the crowning of the elementary and high school Hal lowe en kings and queens, who will nave been chosen previously by popular vote of the students. Judg ing of costumes will be conducted also, and prizes awarded. This year, a central ticket booth, an innovation, will be located in the middle of the gym. Tickets costing JOc each may be purchased from four young ladies. These tickets will take the place of money for everything except hot dogs, hamburgers and the stage show admission fee. It is hoped that this plan will eliminate the “bot tle neck” of change making, here tofore, a major problem. The “Little Movie” in one of the classrooms, the baseball throw in another, and the sideshows and boothes in the gym will be open at 6:30.

That is, within a reason able distance. Tickets will be sold throughout Old Port’s plant to the second shift employees, and the dinners will be delivered at their break-time. The budget and finance commit tee is making every effort to see that this event is a social and financial success, but without the co-operation of all parents and all teachers, its efforts can be limit ed. All proceeds from the carnival will go for some worthwhile school project. Homecoming Game Saturday Ginger Crawford has been chos en queen for the homecoming game to be played here Saturday by the Old Fort eleven against Hot Springs. Ginger’s attendants will be Mabel Tilson, Margaret Hens ley, Mary Katherine Gilkey, and Joyce Anne Grindstaff. As this was written a parade had been tentatively planned, with a band from Glen Alpine. Two Wrecks Two different cars within a few nights went over the bank at the same place within Old Fort city limits. First, a car said to have contained four men returning from a Shi'ine meeting in Asheville missed a turn above Ragle hotel and plunged down the embank ment. They were injured slightly, and one was reported to have been lodged in our city jail. Later in the week, another ear went over at about the same place. That’s too much of a co-incidence. It would seem that some sort of fence or reflecting sign should be placed at the site. The direction the road takes must deceive the eyes of strangers. Teachers at Training School A good proportion of the teach ers at the Blue Ridge Baptist as sociation training school being conducted in Marion is from Old Fort. The school consists of study courses taught for Sunday school workers, laymen, intermediates, and juniors, and a course for the Sunbeams. Those from Old Fort teaching are Vann Hughes, Mrs. Florice Johnson, Mrs. Austin Harris, Mrs. Mary Faw, and Don Thomas.

Black Mountain Lumber Co, Black maintain C&ntMaMu, INCORPORATED 1908 (J. cu*.oL Jsuma LUMBER. BUILDERS' SUPPLIES BLACK MOUNTAIN, N-C. Never before Id history hat anything built by mm traveled to far in so short a time —by land or sea I *tate* ®utQ ! ft port* ComratwinnC* tfi An announcement of decisive importance to anyone about to buy a new automobile The most exhaustive endurance test ever given an automobile has just been completed by two stock ’57 Fords—identical in every respect with cars now being offered by Ford Dealers. Under the supervision of the United States Auto Club and the Federa tion Internationale de Autdmobile, each of these two ’57 Fords traveled 50,000 miles in less than 20 days, ford No. 1 averaged 108.16 mph for the entire run ... Ford No. 2, over 107 inph. These averages include time for all pit stops. In all, the ’57 Ford smashed 458 national and international records. This test was run on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah ... it was the longest left turn in history. A car, like a man, is known by its deeds, not words. That is why, we at Ford, despite our con fidence in our ’57 cars, let their deeds of accomplishment speak for themselves. Therefore, we engaged an independent engineering organization to test our 5 cars more thoroughly than any other cars have ever been tested before-in this country or abroad. We provided them with ’57 For^s_5ar? identical with those now offered by Ford Dealers. The rest we left up to them. Here is what they did: They took these cars to the Salt Flats at Bonneville, Utah. Here, twelve of the world’s greatest drivers took over. In relays they drove these cars night and day for a distance greater than twice around the world ... a- distance equal ] to 5 years of normal driving. Not in all history has a man-built ma chine traveled so far in so short a time by land or seal But this was not a test of speed—but of endurance of the “Inner Ford ” A trial to take the measure of Thunderbnd i block V-8 power without qualification of any kind. A test of running gear-ot brakes, of materials in body and chassis Of steering and roadability, yes, and comfort, too! A test, indeed, such as no other cars have ever undergone, let alone successfully concluded. 1 ( 1 ] ] I 1 J 1 Surely they have told you, in decisive terms, that they are worth more when you buy ... and when you sell! Your Ford Dealer will gladly place at your disposal the new kindd Ford that means a new kind of value for your car buying dollar—the greatest the world has i i ( l 1 ever seen. 1 FORD goes First WOODCOCK MOTOR CO.

New RFD Route Postmaster Bill Early says that a new RFD route will soon be es tablished here. Or rather, the present route will be divided and a new territory added. People in West Fort will be the chief bene fiters. The new carrier will re ceive a temporary appointment un til a civil service exam can be arranged to fill the job.

The date of the play will be giv en later for those who are inter ested in attending. Billy Wink’s Car Last week a bold thief stole Bil ly Wink Arney’s car from behind the depot, while Bill was in the station at his job as telegrapher and station agent. Bill didn’t miss the car until he heard a man tell ing Patrolman Archie Burrell about a crazy driver up at the Old Fort picnic grounds who was in a black Ford convertible. Billy said he didn’t know of such a car other « than his own. When he walked around behind the station, he realized the horrible truth. His car was gone. Oh, it was found all right— found at the bottom of a high bank on Old Highway No. 70, a total wreck. So far, no arrests have been made.
