iting the new health school at tin
Ur.iver-i y of North Carolina a
Chapel 11.11 before returning to hi

Tiu* hospital will be established
Bishop said, before spring, now tha
work is rapidly gaining headway ?>i
the new power dam, one of TV A*
first power projects in Westeri
v.??.u
"The principal thing we are con
corned about in the western regie:
since the dam is to be built i
health,* Bishop said. "Community
health work will be earned on b;
both TV A and the State health tie
partment. Also we will make a sur

tba' silicous dust is present.M
'I have invited Dr. Reynolds v

.uurpiiy to work with my men for :
few days to determine what steps o
safety we may take." Bishop said.
11 pointed out that movable firs
aid stations would be established c>;
the project.
Stations Successful
* We will take the first aid to th
man instead of bringing the man t
tlu first aid," he said. "We hav
found these movable first aid .-ta
turns, operated by huge cranes, t
be very sucessful on Wheeler dam.
"We are going to use every precatio..
to cut down accidents.*'
Dr. Reynolds said facilities of th
State health department would b

No Time Extension Is
Allowed On Auto Tags
All 1937 automobile tags must be
purchased and displayed on the
car by midnight Dec. 31 ar.d there
will be no reduction in their cost,
thus declared E. B. Quinn, Jr.,
highway patrolman, this week.
Mr. Quirn said it has been erroneously
reported that there
will be an extension of time past
the first of :he year on auto tags,
but that these rumors are utterly
1 false and that the state provides
that anyone caught driving on
1336 tags after midnight, Dec. 31,
be prosecu ed.
Application may be made at
Raleigh now for tags, Mr. Quinn
said. The plates will be oblongs as
usual this year and will contaii
orange letters on a black background.

Decision On Thanksgiving
Day
The Murphy Boonu rs plunged, slip'
ped and fumbled their way through
: a stubborn defense Thursday for two
| touchdowns and a 1.1 to 0 victory
| over their traditional foes at Andrews
' in the annual Thanksgiving classic.
There was absolutely no footing
. to be had on the field covered with
, about two inches of snow, and it was
i sheer force and their full share of
the breaks that enabled to Boomers
to come un with the winning score.
A concerted drive featuring off'
j tackle slices ftom the middle of the
i j iield late in the second quarter enabled
th?* Murphyites to ilng up their
a first ore. It culminate i at the
two-yard line where Oscar Taylor,
J DO-pound quarterbak, who had been
leading the brunt of the attack,
j plunged over for the tally. Dick
Maur.ey followed for the extra point.

Mystery Of Wildcat
Remains Dark Secret
Wildcat, Wildcat, who's cot the
j _
s Wildcat. The deep, dark mys.ery
I remains.
When the Boomers went on the
< field at Andrews Thanskeivine
S day the huge image of a fero.
S cious-lookrng Wildcat adorned their
I objective goal posts.
L- i After the game is was missing
* I and the pulchritude of Andrews
n | comes to Murphy en masse almost
r J every day looking for the Wildcat.
1 j But the whereabouts of the likei
ness of the namesake of the Anil
I drews team remains a mystery.
I" j The girls have invaded the school
" j house here and even some of the
C j private buildings but all to no avail.
The Wildcat is the token of
l* j the Andrews high school and is
passed down from the seniors every
? year.
GAINESVILLE MAN S)
OF $120 LOST IP
"No greater faith hath any man?
Someone has a chance to prove
thein truthful mettle.
Mr. Will Summers, a salesman of
Gainesville, Ga.? was in Murphy last
I Wednesday and lost $120 in $20
j bills outside of the Murphy Cafe.
Several hours later he missed the
noney and went back to the cafe
I with "his heart in his mouth" so to
speak, in hopes that he would find
the money. But some one had beaten
him to it.
He immediately came to the Scout
office to insert an advertisement of-1
fering a reward for the return of
the money.
While in the office he stated that j
he wa? in his home town of Gainesville
with two friends during the re- I
cent windstorm there and that one
of the friends had been killed before
his eys during the burnt of the torna

his car was found under a pile of i

Mr. Summers is well-known here
