Burnette Intercepts The Rams took the kickoff 3n their 30 and seven plays later had marched to the Owen seven. The Warhorses, fighting to keep their six point lead as if it meant life ar death, stiffened their de fense as Owen’s Richard Burn ette caught a Ram fumble in the air and returned it 11 yards to the 18. Roberson stopped the Warhorses at the 22 as Owen was forced to punt.

Again Roberson came to life to guard that six point lead as Bill Bum garner intercepted a Dumas pass at the four and returned it to the 18. Three plays later Owen’s Jack Guthrie brought the crowd to their feet as he sped 64 yards around right end to paydirt. The extra point was blocked as Owen romped to a 12-0 halftime lead.

Library Begins Story Hour For Local Children On this Friday, Nov. 1, at 10 o’clock in the Black Moun tain library the Pre-school Story Hour will begin. It will be repeated at the same hour on the five successive Friday mornings in November. This series for children from three and a half to six years of age will present the best read-aloud literature for the “tricycle set”. There will be stories that are highly ad venturous or delightfully ri diculous, stories that tell about the people and places and things that make up a pre-schooler’s ever-expanding world, and stories that dra matize his secret wishes. There will be time for poetry, too; for poetry helps all of us, re gardless of age, to know the wonder of our five senses. Authorities agree that a child who enters school with a love of books is far better able to master the* technical hurdles of learning to read than he would be otherwise. These story hours are design ed to give children pleasure; but as they listen to a well spun story their speech ma tures, their minds stretch, their humor percolates, and their love of books grows. Today’s listeners are tomor row’s readers. This call has been issued to mothers: “Bring your child and his best friend to the library this Friday morning”. In charge of the story hour is Mrs. Charlotte Bridgman, who holds a master’s degree in early childhood education and who, for the past 13 years, has been pre-school director at Maumee Valley Country Day school in Maumee, Ohio. She is ably assisted by Dr. Elinor Behre and Mrs. James Robson. Recent lour Is Miss Maxwell's Club Topic The Tea and Topic club me1 Monday night, Oct. 21, at the home of Mrs. A. F.

After the Maces’ presentation many of those present asked questions. When the time for closing the meeting was far overdue, Mrs. A. F. Tyson, Jr., president of the Friends of the Library, who presided, dismissed the group. Even then quite a number gathered about the Maces for further questions and answers. Requested b y Doubleday Publishing Co. to write a book on the Soviet family, the Maces studied the Russian language for some two years and did extensive reading be fore starting on a three-month unguided tour of the country, camping with Russian families on vacation. They also visit ed homes, marriage palaces, and divorce courts. Then be fore attempting to write the book they completed the read ing of some 250 books on the Soviet Union. (The Maces did not inform the audience, but they wrote three chapters of this volume at Last Resort, near Black Mountain, hidden away from telephones and in quiries.) The Maces reported that immediately following the Bol shevik revolution there was a breakdown of morals in ; Russia, with a feeling of li : cense to live as one pleased, i The Soviets, however, soon - came to realize that they : could not carry through their i plans for a communistic form - of society without strong E moral controls. Apparently > indifferent to family life at r first, they came to consider stable family life as indispens : able. Today, said the Maces.

The War horses defeated Roberson Fri day night, 12-0. The sports writers of the Times selects each week dur ing the football season the team they think did the best job during the past week. This is the first time that an Owen team has ever been selected for this honor. “We are highly pleased. It was strictly a team effort and all of our boys from the ninth graders playing their first varsity game to the sen iors did an outstanding job. They all played well”, Head Coach Bill Stanley told the News. “What was most gratifying”, Coach Stanley explained, “was the fact that the boys were able to bounce back after eight straight setbacks and play the type of game they did against the T. C. Roberson Rams on Friday evening”. Coach Stanley and his staff will send the Warhorses into action for the last time this year when they play the Can ton Blackbears here at Shu ford field at 7:30.

RUMMAGE SALE WILL BE HELD FRIDAY, SATURDAY Circle II of the Methodist church W.S.C.S. will have a rummage sale Friday and Saturday, Nov. 1 and 2, in the building formerly occu pied by Black Mountain gro cery on State street. ‘FEMININE MYSTIOUE’ TO BE CONSIDERED BY MEANS OF DIALOGUE The fourth morning session of the Friends of the Library on Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 10:30 o'clock, will be of special interest to both men and women of all ages. Mrs. Gilbert S. Willey of Christmount assembly and Dr. Paul Limbert, the new executive secretary of Blue Ridge assembly, will present a dialogue—not a debate—on the controversial book by Betty Frieden, "The Feminine Mystique", published this year by W. W. Norton & Company, New York. This book was written, after much research, on the “image” of the American woman which is held up to be attained by all women in the United States. Mrs. Frieden asserts that education, mass media, advertising, and many ofher “image” forming groups have oversold to women such things or such goals as these: mar riage, husbands, homes, and children. That is, for many women, their goal is to get a man and establish a home and family. Tt is Mrs. Frieden’s conten tion that girls marry so young in our country that they have not found themselves; that they would be better wives, mothers, and citizens if they had a life-plan for continuous growth. According to Mrs. Frieden, many American wom en are disillusioned with life as they are living it. The meeting will be held in the Community room of the Black Mountain branch of the Asheville Federal Savings and Loan association, State and Dougherty streets. As here tofore all are invited to bring their sandwiches and the f riends ot the Library will provide coffee and sanka. There will be no doubt, says a member of the program committee, that those present will desire further discussion of the subject of the morn ing with the leaders. All in terested persons are invited to come and bring their friends. MRS.
