STORE SWANNANOA, N. C. ?w g00,d feellng to know that these boys have a chance to . play baseball under the guidance of someone who can teach them the correct way to A team of youngsters who had been used to playing “cow pasture" ball would have no more of a chance to beat a t eacon team (in the same age group) than a little league team would have in beating the Chicago White Sox. The difference between an untrain ed and inexperienced bunch of hoys and a well trained group, such as one of the Beacon teams is really that great. We have spilled-off these lew lines in hope of bringing recognition to those fine fel lows who love baseball and who love to teach young boys how to play it as it should be. Sorry we didn’t have your names men, but we would like to give you a special pat on the back to “Gob” Martin, who co-ordinated the entire base ball program in addition to managing and playing short stop for the Beacon Blanket eers. Dvocun in ne ior league Lead For three short days last week, Beacon’s Blanketeers were in first place in the stand ings of the Western North Carolina Industrial League by virtue of knocking-off Olin Mathieson’s Indians last Wed nesday afternoon, Aug. 3 at Nolan Field. Jess Owensby displayed his usual good form in the game by fanning six and issuing but one free pass in defeating Olin Mathieson by a score of 3-2. Mark Ferguson had a real good day at the plate with three hits in three times at bat. One of them being a long tripple. Gene Lewis and Ossie Waldrop collected two hits a piece, with one of Waldrop’s hits coming in the ninth inn ing which eventually led to the winning run after a double by Gary Edwards. As we mentioned at the start of this article; Beacon led the league for three days last week, that was until Olin Mathieson defeated Old Fort last Saturday and went into a tie. with Beacon. The Blanket eers have won four of their last six contests and with two games yet to be played with Olin Mathieson along with a couple of other league games this thing could get tense. Home on Leave.

The attendance has been beyond 3,000 in each one. Just a few years ago we were fortunate to have as many as 1,200. I have always felt that the Sun day School weeks do as much or more to forward the whole church program than any weeks we have. Three of our people are studying this week for better teaching and organi zation. Mrs. E. F. Hardin and Mrs. John May are taking the work relating to Intermedi ates. John May, our Sunday School Superintendent elect, is taking the work relating to ef ficiency in his field. The workers of our church have the greatest opportunity in the South to study here 'at this fountain head of efficiency, information and inspiration along all lines of our work. Many of our workers have taken advantage of this oppor tunity in the past and we hope there will be many more as the years pass. As we see people come here from more than a thousand miles away, we covet for all our members this in terest. it was goo a to have the Pates from Black Mountain in our services Sunday. Mr. Pate seems much improved. Nancy Pryor and Dean left for Dallas, Tex., early Friday morning. They left Patty and Elaine to stay with Mr. and Mrs. Willis and me until the last week when Dean’s head Secretary will be here and take them back to Dallas. Having the children here surely eased the pain of their going for me. On Sunday Patty and Elaine went with grandmother and grandaddy Willis to the Wil lis reunion in Greenville, S. C. returning on Monday morning, after spending the night with Mrs. Willis’ sister in Green ville. A great host of the Wil lis clan from North and South Carolina came to Greenville for this happy event. We have not mentioned in this column a little new-comer to our village. Her name is Wendy Kay Chastain, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Way ne Chastain. We surely give her a warm welcome among us and hope to see her when the brisk fall days come upon us. Her maternal grandmot her, Mrs. Esther T. Fenn came all the way from Jacksonville Fla., to see this little grand daughter. Visitors in the R. H. Stevens home have been Mr. and Mrs. Scott Neff and son Donald from Bradenton Fla., Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Allen from Bogalousa, Louisiana. Thursday of last week Mrs. lone Mercer of Greenville N. C. and Columbia S. C. was a visitor at “Hills of Home”. Dinner guests of the Hardins on Thursday were Rev. and Mrs. R. P. Lamb from Grier S. C. Other guests through the week were Mrs. Jessie C. Flynn, Mrs. W. H. Farnsworth, Greenville S. C. Mrs. Herbert Blessed is the man whose watch keeps church time as well as business time. Blessed is the man who has the grace to leave a critical spirit on the sidewalk when he comes to the church. Blessed is the man who loves the church with his pocket book as well as with his heart. Blessed is the church whose officers are not pessimistic. Blessed is the man who is faithful on a committee. Blessed is the man who loves his own church enough to praise it. —The Christian Advocate First Presbyterian Church Bible School was held last week at the church.

The VFW members be lieve it would be better to keep a hospital already estab lished. which is needed as the records show, rather than building a new unit in some other section of the country.” Closing of the unit has been protested by the Amer ican Legion Post 129, Black Mountain, and other veterans groups in Buncombe county.
