Tli* C"ieman site lias been repeatedly unofficially named a.- an "ideal site. It would control every bit of water t..'in the lliawassee. Not la. and \ alley rivers. The cest would he minium as the lands that would he flooded have practically no value except for the ti. her on them. V\ e have repeatedly shown the public, not by our word alone, but by the word of men in every walk ol lit--, that it the dam were built here, means would be had to promote work on millions of dollars wo.th of resources that otherwise will lie dormant. This section, more than any other we know of, has active!) supported the Tennessee I alley Authority. If v .e dam acre built here, that support would be augmented. \i u.. ?j 1 -- ? m. .ax. kji .uuqjui aim vmcroKtrc county realize i that iheie is much more to the TV A than merely building dams- It i& a means of promoting social progress in the Southeast. Murphy and Cherokee county have backed to the limit every phase of T\ A work undertaken here. Cooperative canneries, creameries, forestry and engineering work have received unflinching help und support. With a power house on the other side of the bend of ihe river a distance of three quarters of a mile and a tunnel leading to it from the dam that would greatly increase the water power, if the rock at the bottom of the proposed site will hold a dam, why should we not |iave it? m Mister President, honorable member of congress, Ti -1 officials?hear our plea for the dam here. We are broad-minded. We are not thinking onlv of the money that will he spent on actual construction of the dam. We have at last, within our reach, an opporunily to build up the POTENTIALLY RICHEST SECT/OS OF THE UNITED STATES. He have fought for thul opportunity. We want it, and promise to actively support it every day to come as we have in the past. The Cherokee Scout, Murphy, North FIGHT ISC FOR THE DIM A fine spirit was seen throughout the town and the countv this week to !et the f\A officials know that the dam. in event it would be built here, would bt backed locall). Repeatedly we have enumerated the advantages to this community and surrounding ter.itory il it were built here. Every day until the final announcement is made, should see new evidences of the light. It has ben admitted public-ally that the cost ot the local dam would be /ess than any other sile on the Hiauasee. and outside of a few small mountain streams that pour into the Hiawasee between here and the mouth of the rivet. It cannot be denied that Construction here uould provide maximum relief both for employment and flood control. Keep up the fight. This section needs it. By right it should be ours. HELP J'dlE SCHOOL KIDDIES With the first touch of fall in the night air and the days getting shorter we know it is time for the kiddies to go back to school again.

It i a..aid t> well to consider the p.oblem from every angle. Ion rash st< ps were taken. Ih eoiintv agent told us some time ago that a ; J chi.? of cattle demands a good grade of feed. I i his involves i lot ot expense and naturallv it takes ji | j. .son of some means to star! such an induc-fry. The raising of cattle calls for a lot of time and money before a well-systematized method of producing i regular income can be arranged. Once it is started, though, it is a paying business, provided the elements and the soil are adaptable. The problem should he presented for serious thought, however, as a possibility of creating another trade and market in this section of the country. I FARMER'S EXCHA NGE \\ ith the appearance recently of an exchange for farmers of this section, we believe a long-needed means f the farmer for trading all farm produce bas been effected It is a well-known and under-publicized fact that the welfare of the farmer depends upon his income as well as the food and crops he raises. That he SSot find a method of converting the excess of the food and crops I into clothes. mnriPV for ronairc owrl ? - , j ? - - , iutu iiupiuvcmeiiiSi ana a legitimate income is imperative. This exchange will give the farmer an outlet for that which in the past has largely gone to waste or has l>een sold at a loss instead of a profit, while, at the same time, there is a great demand for it. This section of North Carolina is blessed with soil j and climate that fits the land for a wide variety of foodsfuffs and crops for cattle. The sphere of the local farmer is not confined to one or two products such as tobacco or cotton. Most any kind of vegetable and I crops can be raised here. With the advent of a real good exchange that would send the excess products into foreign markets where there is a demand will largely solve the farmer's problem along this line and provide him with a better living. The farmer's exchange should be boosted as another means of upbuilding this section of Western North Carolina, and aiding national relief i Carolina 11 LET'S TURN BACK H L?? ~ 40 YEARS AGO J.
