Do You Want To Go
Snipe Hunting
By DEBRA MORRIS
k Have you even been asked to
Igo Snipe Hunting? Did
■ everyone laugh when you said
[ yes? 1 bet they took you way
I out in the woods with a sack
ibid you to wait and uien left
you there alone and to walk all
the way back home.
Have you ever wondered
what they would say if you
came back with a bag full of
snipe?
The common snipe or
Wilson’s Snipe is about eleven
inches long. It has a short tail
and a long bill. The Snipe is
yellowish fawn and glossy
black in color. The Snipe’s
eyes are placed at the very top
The Snipe uses the flexible
sensitive tips of its bill to poke
about for worms and grubs.
The Snipe performs
acrobatics in the air during
mating season. It also makes
a strange bleating or drum
ming sound by flying to great
heights and disc mding in a
series of quick swoops as air
rushes through its feathers.
The Snipe spends its sum
mers from the northern U.S.
to Hundson Bay and
labrador. It winters from
Illinois and South Carolina
southward.
The Snipe is timid about
being seen in the open by day.

Round Up
The Owen High golf team
started it’s season last
Monday by finishing second
out of five teams at the Black
Mountain Golf Course. The
team total of 334 lost out to
Tryon by a slim four strokes.
Brad Norton led the way for
the Warhorses by firing a 76
and claiming medalist honors
from the 25 golfers present.
Rusty Norton had one real bad
hole, but still finished with an
84 for the Warhorses, and he
was followed by Hy Joung
Park with an 85, and Byron
Bailey with an 89. This was a
pretty good start and we know
the boys will be working hard
to do better in the coming
matches.
The second golf match of the
season was held Monday,
March 30 in the rain at Etowah
Valley Golf Course and the
Warhorses again came in
second out of six teams. The
team total of 353 finished
behind Tryon again, but Rusty
Norton did capture medalist
honors with a 78. This marked
the second time that a
Warhorse golfer has had the
lowest score of all the golfers.
Byron Bailey backed up Rusty
with an 87 in the very, very
tough conditions at Etowah.
Next weeks match is at
Maggie Valley and good
things are expected of the
Warhorses.
WomenNetter Win
for the Lady Cavaliers while
Montreat - Anderson’s No. 1
and 2 doubles teams of
Ackerman and Kathryn Curtis
of Clearwater, Fla., and
Worth and Justice posted the
decisive wins.
Montreat - Anderson’s next
match is Monday at Milligan
College, Tenn.
Owen High Coach Roy
Williams, who directed the
Whites to the win over a
heavily favored band of
seniors from neighboring
counties, said the keys to the
win were the “hustle and
unselfish play” of the 20
youngsters on his team.
“I never saw a group of kids
from rival teams work as hard
as this group did during the
week in getting ready for this
game. We knew that they (the
Blues) had a big height ad
vantage and some excellent
shooters but we never doubted
that we'd win,” Williams said.
“It didn’t make any dif
ference what combination was
in the game there was no lack
of hustle.
“Even Sam Woodberry
(Asheville), who is just get
ting over the flu, and Marvin
Johnson (Roberson), who was
hampered by a battered knee
in practice, went all out and
came up with some good
plays,” he continued.
“I was really surprised
though over the way we out
rebounded them despite their
edge in height. Robert
dffywywstm a
Brinkley (Reynolds) and
Bobby Stafford (Owen) really
did great jobs under both
boards and were able to give
us a big lift. They both had
great nights and Earl Buie
(Asheville) played one of the
best games overall of the
night.
"I thought they were sup
posed to be the best reboun
ders and favorites. We sure
showed them a thing or two,”
one of the happy winners
yelled over the laughter that
filled the dressing room.
After 24 years the Blue
White All-Star Game is well
and going strong. The more
than 1,900 who braved
showery weather to see the
game proved that and while
the Buncombe stars ended a
five-year losing streak the
real winner was the
Rhododendron Civitan Club,
sponsors of the dame. The
club garnered a large amount
of money to use in its work
with the mentally retarded of
WNC.
Sam Patton who started the
series back in 1953 in the old
American Enka gymnasium,
f I : a V M a
saluted the youngsters and
fans as well as the sponsoring
club for the success of the All
Star series.
He noted that next year
marks the Silver Anniversary
of the post-season classic and
said that efforts will be made
to bring as many former All
Star players as possible to that
historic game.
“We'll need lots of help from
coaches, former players and
fans to aid in locating some of
the players and we’ll have to
start making our contacts
early in 1976. We want to be
able to introduce the oldtimers
in our halftime program at the
game,” Patton said.
The sponsoring
Rhododendron Civitan Club
also is planning to make a
concentrated bid to add a girls
all-star game to the Blue -
White program.
H. H. Zeugner, one of the
directors of the game, Friday
called on fans to write the club
and coaches in support of such
a game. “We need lots of
support from fans and coaches
in order to get the state to
approve such a game for
a rrrrr
girls,” said Zeugner.
In view of the growth in
interest in girls basketball
throughout the state and
particularly in the are it would
seem that the girls have
earned the right to an all-star
game anmd there is no better
time for it to start than in 1977.

Clyde Savings and Loan is 50 years old,
and we are pretty excited about it. We
have come a long way since 1926. And
because our customers are behind our
success, we want to make sure you have
an opportunity to enjoy our celebration
with us.
To give everyone a chance, we are
celebrating our 50th anniversary for
seven working days, April 1 -9. It's a real
party with cake and gifts for everyone.
And to make it exciting, we are having a
drawing for two prizes of 10,000 S & H
Green Stamps each day. One 10,000 S & H
Green Stamp prize will be given at our
Clyde office and one at our Asheville
office every day. And on the last day, we
will hold an additional drawing for two
Grand Prizes of 30,000 S & H Green
Sfamps, one at each office.
Here is how it works: Come to our party, enjoy
the festivities, have a piece of cake, find out
about our savings plans and home loans, and
then fill out an entry blank. You may open a
new account, add to an existing account, make
a loan payment, purchase travelers checks, or
rent a safe deposit box (at our Asheville office
only) but no transaction is required for entry
or winning.
Then at 4:30 p.m. each week day, and at 5:30
p.m. on Fridays during our celebration, we
will draw a winner at each office from that
day’s entries. The two daily drawings are for
10,000 S & H Green Stamps. The two Grand
Prizes of 30,000 S & H Green Stamps will be
drawn, one at each office, at 5:45 p.m. Friday,
April 9, from all the entires collected during
the celebration at that office.
April is also the beginning of our traditional double S & H Green Stamp
premium on savings deposits. For each dollar you deposit, you will receive
two Green Stamps, up to a maximum of 2,100 stamps based on cumulative
deposits of less than $5,000 or a maximum of 4,200 stamps on cumulative
deposits of more than $5,000. Make a deposit and take home your share of
Green Stamps.
