It still needs $4,500 in order to get the project underway. If this is really the “valley of re ligion,” surely this is a small amount to raise to provide a play ground for our youngsters. This reporter was talking with one of the high school teachers about their recent tour of indus tries and business houses in this area. At each plant, he said, they asked what the schools could do to better prepare their students for employment. “Teach them to get along with people” was the universal comment. I am sure the comment did not mean for Baptist to get along with Baptist, Presby terians with Presbyterians or Methodist with Methodist. These employers meant that youngsters should learn sportmanship, the Golden Rule and understanding of others regardless of church affilia tion. What better can we do than provide facilities and leadership for them to learn these fundament als. Scouting, 4-H clubs, base ball, football and many other out door activities teach these in a practical way and supplement the work our teachers are doing. Can we afford not to provide for these things in a community such as ours ? Operation Youth is dedicated to this objective and needs the help of everyone, not just the few who have made generous contributions. It is a Finer Carolina project. Don’t wait. Get your check to Steve Uzzell, treasurer, at the Black Mountain Ding Store. Just make check payable to Operation Youth, Inc.

It was cold, it was dark and unpleasant but these hardy voters at Black Mountain Precinct No. 1 refused to be discouraged and held their ground to cast their ballot in the general election last week. At the time this picture was made it was almost time for the polls to close (6:30 p.m.) and the line stretched from the registrar’s table down the halls, out alongside the school building to the sidewalk. Voting was brisk all day but the closing of the plants and institutions in the area brought a last minute flood of voters to the polls. This caused someone to suggest that at the next election some provision be made, by the co operation of the plants, to stagger the voting to avoid the last minute jam. Most of those in the picture waited it out but many left the lines and others drove by but didn’t bother to get out of their cars to join the waiting lines. (See other picture of line elsewhere in this issue.) Services Held Veterans Day For B. H.

Hunters Shoot Game In Yards As Owners Quake Complaints have been made lhat hunters have been shooting :oo close to thickly populated areas, and in some cases have shot rab bits and squirrels in the yards of occupied homes. Many have paid no attention to “no trespassing” signs but have invaded private property without regard for the safety of the owners. One thoughtless hunter shot a squirrel that fell practically on the porch of a home, and another fired a shot at a rabbit and hit instead a highly prized and valued dog in the yard of a home. This is dangerous to animals and to children who are playing n the leaves at this time of year Be cai-el'ul where you shoot, rhe life you save may be that af a child or a grownup minding ais own business in his own yard.

The rapidly improving War horses hammered out an impressive 33 to 13 victory over the Waynes ville Mountaineers in the Hay wood county seat last Friday night before a chilled audience. Coach Kyker and his staff took the wraps off Howard Lewis and the young Warhorse kicked up his heels and rolled over for four touchdowns during the rout. He scored on a seven yard dash in the first quarter. Waynesville tied it up and kicked off to Lewis. This proved a fatal mistake. He tucked the ball under his arm on the 10 and zig zagged through a broken field for the second touch down. When big Joe Robinson bulled over for the extra point, it was 14-7, Owen, and it wasn’t close from there on. Lewis raced 20 yards in the second period and Fred Newton slipped through for the extra point. Bobby Peterson, hard tack ing end, recovered a fumble in the Waynesville end zone before the half was over and the Owen Higti eleven went to the dressing room with a 27 to 7 advantage. The Owen team coasted in the second half and held the home team scoreless in the third and then matched touchdowns with the Mountaineers in the fourth.
