It is not nec essary for owners to post their property with either no tres pass or no hunting signs since there is a city ordinance which prohibits hunting within the city limits anyhow. The misunderstanding seems to have arisen because hunters assume, since they are not in a downtown area, they must be beyond the city ’ limits. There are many homes with wooded areas and fields, still within the limits, and even the owner cannot hunt on these premises or give permission to anyone else to do so. This ordinance came into being some years ago for the protection of persons who may be within range of gun shot —Turn to Page 8 HUDSONS OPEN GIFT-FABRIC SHOP ON OLD 70 Mr. and Mrs. George M. Hudson have opened the Ridgecrest Gift and Fabric Shop on the branch of old highway 70, lying nearest the railroad, between Black Moun tain and Ridgecrest. When the B&PW club gave a list to the paper of business es in which women in the area have a part, Mrs. Hudson’s name ami business were unin tentionally omitted possibly because Mr. Hudson is also associated in the business. The Hudson’s came from Charlotte where they operated a fabric shop and laundry. They have bought a home here and intend making this their home the year around. They have one son who lives in Statesville and a daughter in Charlotte. This shop specializes in gifts and. unusual fabrics with many of the gifts made by Mrs. Hudson. General Election Set Tuesday, November 8 Americans are expected to stream to the polls by millions on next Tuesday, Nov. 8, as they elect candidates from the White House to the Court House to lead them for the next two or four years as the case may be. Chief attention of the nation has been focused on the race for the Presidency between Vice-President Richard Nixon, Republican, and Senator John Kennedy, Democrat. The Nix on-Lodge ticket and the Ken nedy-Johnson tickets ha\e been campaigning hard during the past several months as they crossed and criss-crossed the nation in an attempt to woo votes in key states and areas. In North Carolina Terry Sanford, winner over P Bev erly Lake in a tough second primary, and Robert Lee Gav in, Republican, have fought it out on schools, roads, and oth er issues and problems that will confront the state during the next four years. In the 12th congressional district, Heinz Rollman, who ran as a Democrat two years ago, is contesting the seat now held by Roy A. Taylor, Black Mountain attorney, and a mem ber of the Buncombe County delegation in the North Caro lina General Assembly for four terms. 4. shoe manufacturer of Waynesville, Mr. Rollman has no legislative experience.

Dr. Greer Davis, President af the Mountain Retreat asso ciation, was the speaker. Dr. Davis said the 30 mile area surrounding Asheville was considered the religious Cap itol of the world. This area has 30 assemblies and 150.000 attending them. There are 15.000 acres for assembly use and the value of their prop erty is 15 million dollars. These assemblies are addres sed by religious leaders from all over the world. Most of the people attend ing these assemblies stay from 6-7 days and spend in the area around $10,600,000. Dr. Davis mentioned Dwight L. Moody who converted thou sands, and felt the need of a place for Christians to relax physically and refresh their religious beliefs. Dr. Moody wrote to several of his asso ciates about coming to his home in Massachusetts for a week of prayer and thought, but some of those present felt the need of one in the south, so in 1897 they came to Mon treat area, pitched their tents and held meetings. They lik ed the mountain area, and organized the Montreat Re treat association. Since that time people have been coming to Montreat for their spiritual refreshment. At the time of this organ ization, a friend of Hyler the candy king, was induced to purchase Montreat for $50, 000. Lots were sold, and these property owners became the first stockholders in the corp oration. In 1907 J. Howerton became the first Presbyterian presi dent of the corporation. In 1913 R. C.

Warhorses Play Brevard Here Friday Supporters of the Owen High school 1950 Warhorses had hopes today that Coach Howard Barnwell’s charges might take a good healthy kick at the dope bucket and pull an upset in one of the two re maining games on their sched ule. Since the two teams are the mighty Brevard Blue Devils, here Friday night for a game starting at 7:30, and the pow erful Waynesville Mountain eers, which will be played in the Haywood county seat for the final game of the season on Nov. 11, this seems highly unlikely. But the fans had their con fidence restored by the great come back by the Warhorses in the second half of the game with Canton here last Friday evening which they lost, 41-25. It was not the size of the margin by which they lost that impressed local fans but the fact that the Owen eleven out scored the visitors for touch downs to one in the final half. Trailing 34-0 at the end of two periods, the Warhorses must have heeded the advice of the coaching staff during the rest period as they came roaring back for a single score in the third and three in the fourth while holding the visit ors to one TD and an extra point in the third. In the third period Cecil Caldwell threw a five yard toss to Harper who scored. In the fourth stanza it was all Owen as the locals shoved over three more touchdowns and an extra point. The 25 points were the highest scored on the Canton Black Bears in a single game this season. Weak tackling resulted in at least three Canton scores during the first two quarters. On more than one occasion a Canton back broke out of the arms of two, three, and even four Owen tacklers to go on and roll up long gains. —Turn to Page 5 Y. A.
