He was back at practice Mon day. ERWIN NEXT Friday at 8:00 p.m. the Warhorses will return home to take on the rapidly im proving and always strong Erwin Warriors at Shuford Field. Based on comparative scores there is little to choose be tween the two teams. Erwin was shattered by Waynes ville, 40-0, in an early season game but has shown much improvement since that time. The Erwin quarterback was out with injuries but is now back and ready to go. The Warriors will be at full strength for the encounter and are spoiling for a victory. They are big and fast. CRAIG, GUTHRIE Leading ground gainers for the Warhorses at Waynes ville were Jack Guthrie with 38 yards in seven tries and Rennie Craig with 32 in seven. In the second quarter Ivey caught the Waynesville sec ondary flat footed and tossed a 15 yard aerial to Danny Bridges for a touchdown.

Congressman Taylor Appeals To Railroad Head For Cooperation The battle over widening of U.S. 70 from Black Mountain to just east of Gudger's Bridge at Oteen shifted this week from the banks of the Swannanoa to the banks of the Potomac when Congressman Roy A.

Highway engineers said that 60 per cent of U.S. 70 from Oteen to Black Mountain is on Southern Railway right-of-way. LOW BIDDER Asheville Paving Co. was low bidder on the first section of the road which will be four-laned from Haw Creek to a point just east of Gudger’s Bridge. The bids were opened by the N. C. State Highway com mission in Raleigh on Sept. 29. Work on this section is ex Travelogue Of Europe For AARP Everybody enjoys a travel ogue in color!

As had been predicted and expected long before the public hearing was held at Owen High school, the chief problem and chief obstacle in the way is the Southern Rail way. Support for the early widen ing of this death trap has eome from dozens of civic groups throughout Buncombe eounty. Several leading cit zens have expressed the opin ion that this is one of the most critical problems that ve have faced in this area n many years.
