Although the program for 1936 ( will be drawn along the same lints | as the one this year, a large exten- | sion was seen and until more experimental work is done on farms and other canneries in the association hold meetings, definite plans will not bo completed, it was said. During the past year the Murphy cannery did approximately $16,000 in business and an increase of almost twice that much is seen for the com- ; ing year, E. R. Thompson, cannery manager, said. Nearly 8000 cases of vegetables were canned this season, he reported, and they have practically all been disposed of.

The Andrews team is being coached hy Kimsey Wyke and the proceeds of the game will go to Coach Wyke's basketball team. The Murphy boys, an aggregation comprised of the best that ever came out of Murphy high, defeated the otherwise unbeaten fd&h school team here 13 to 0 early ln the season in a practice game. Therefore it all indicates a good Same. In the afternoon, of course, the ^ildeats from Andrews journey to Murphy for the annual Thanksgiving day game with the Murphy Boomers.

[ES, DANCE ARE w V A m. Tir V? r 1 HArNrwaUlVJINU L?AY Andrews team that will appear here. Although an edge is conceded to Murphy the Andrews team is priming itself toward this one game?like Duke primed itself for North Carolina. It's the football classic of the year for these parts?and clasiscs have been terribly disastrous in the football world this year. However, Coach O. W. Deaton is taking no chances and has prepared for all slips. He realizes the Tiger spirit is not to be laughed at and is lending every effort to keep the slate clean. Outside of the usual run of Thanksgiving parties and dinners, the Junior club of Andrews is sponsoring a dance at the gymnasium in Andrews that night. Ken Herrin and his Virginians from Asheville have been booked to furnish the music. The dance, too, is being arranged by Kimsey Wyke who promises one of the best ever held in this county and he is expecting a huge crowd from the surrounding towns. tmkt orolina.

Several needy cases have been pi before the group but more explk information is needed before a fin decision is made. The other 50 per cent will be fo warded to national headauarters. Meanwhile W. M.

Workers who helped ;n the n call last year turned from their i licitation to carry on the year's pi gram for victims of accident, dist ter and disease. Ihey come to us npw with anoth appeal for membership dues that w finance the work of another yei Since our Red Cross asks so litl from the community, and contribi es so much itself to the general w fare, I hope and urge those who a asked for the relatively small par cipation of paying the annual me bership fee will respond promp again this year. The relief program of the R Cross is recognized by city officii as a potent factor in meeting pri l-nt ni'l'tltf !in<l ?? ? nrrono.. culable value in the event of pos ble emergency.
