HIWASSEE DAM SCHOOL NEWS The Hiw?A5ff Oum acboo) is veil into what promised to be 4ft most successful school year. With the support of TV A. the iocal citizens, and state and coun ty educational agencies much progress has already been 'made. To date live following improve ments have been completed or are -n the process of developing. First. Jour new courses have been intro duced: boys' shop, home econom ics. music apreciation. and typing. Tliis necessitated employing ex tra teachers, of course, and the establishment of new departments. However, typing is not offered to the entire student body because of the problem of equiping such & department at the present time, so is being offered only to a few rregular students. The school plant consists of an abandoned TV A commiinlfv biiilrlinir two buildings once used as dormitories and a special first grade building. This called for much remodeling ,n order to still use part of the ouildinK as a recrcaticnal center lor the TV A village and at the same time conduct a well -organ ized school. A club room for the Woman's Club and Red Cross ;ias been set apart: music room for the appreciation classes and piuno pupils of Mrs. Wilbur Koch titzky has been completed: the shop boys and their teacher, J. Franklin Smith, are at work on their shop room: the carpentry work for the home economics unit is being completed as Mrs Mar guerite K. German and the four home economics groups plan and organize their department; a new seventh grade classroom has been ceiled, floored, and wired; the filth grade classroom has been painted. It has been necessary to obtain some new equipment, and thus far a few additions have teen made. The school has three new sewing machines, and an old one Id being pi-occ&sod; a new dup licating machine, and some ath letic equipment. This school is fortunate in that a TV A gymnas ium -auditorium, asphalt tennis, volley ball, and shuffle board courts are already erected; and an excellent library is in operation. The daily activity period offers a diversified program to all high school classes with its alternating schedule offering music, health, physical education, and club work. The five clubs ? Hobby, Photo graphy Mathematics, Victory, and Adventure provide interesting | outlets for the students* creative abilities. The school lunchroom is now ; in operation, and provides a bal- j anced hot meal each day. The principal of Hiwassee School is Harvey H. Ferguson of York, S. C. Mr. Ferguson has an A. B. degree from Erskine College. Duo West. S. C.; a Master of Edu cation degree from the University of Georgia, and additional grad uate work from Duke University.

The school is very fortunate in having ' Ralph Buice. recreational direc tor for TVA, to direct the athletic program. Hallowe'en Carnival Nets P. -T. A. $300 The Parent-Teacher association is supporting the school whole heartedly, as was exhibited in the success of the Hallowe'en Carni val. A profit of some 1300 was realized. Not only was It suc cessful financially, but also as a source of amusement for this and neighboring communities. Mrs. F*rank Brown was director of the Carnival, and proved to be a most efficient one. The feature that brought the greatest amount of money into the carnival and much Interest was the Carnival Queen contest, directed by Miss Sarah Wlther spoon and Mrs. Bill Wiley. Jewel Perry was winner and was crown ed Queen of the Carnival by the King of all hen-pecked husbands. A. D. Simpson.

Here skilled workmen who once produced car and truck motors speed How of armament for the United Nations. the Queen's Court were awarded prizes for their efforts and have been invited to dinner and a i theatre party in Murphy at an early date. Many of the merchants in neighboring towns were very gen erous In their support of this pro ject. Scrap Metal Drive Nets Twenty Tons The scrap metal drive spon sored by Hiwassee Dam school has , brought in some twenty tons of scrap; however, this amount does I not close the drive, for metal is ' still being collected in this com munity and others connected with ! the school. The student body lias shown a very patriotic spirit | throughout the drive and has had ; so much interest aroused that the whole shcool divided itself into three groups ? Army. Navy, and Marines ? and put the collect ing of metal on competitive basis. The Marines were the winners during the designated period and the Navy ran a close second. Dur ing the same period the P.-T. A. sponsored a membership drive offering a prize for the group bringing in the largest percent age of dues. In this contest the Navy won over its closer op ponent. the Army, by a very small margin. So much friendly rivalry has been shown that the three divisions of the student body are remaining as groups and will con tinue the various forms of pat liotic activities as they arise dur ing the school year.

Christmas Mail Gigantic Task For Post Office The Post Office Department now is starting the most gigantic task in its history ? the movement of a deluge of Christmas parcels, . cards and letters while maintain- j ing the regular flow of millions of j pieces of mail daily to and from j our armed forces all over the I world. I Indications are thai the volume of Christmas mail will be the larg est on record. Already in Septem ber. lastest month for which fig ures are available, retail sales had reached a level second only to the record month of December, 1941. according to the Department of Commerce. And sales are rising. Such heavy purchases always pre sage heavy mailings. If thousands of our soldiers, sailors, marines and civilian friends are not to be disappoint ed at Christmas time, the public must cooperate by mailing earlier than ever before and by address ing letters and parcels properly. The best efforts of the Post Of fice Department alone cannot be enough, in view of wartime diffi- ; culties faced by the postal system. The public must asisst. About 25.000 experienced postal workers already have been taken by the war services. Arrange ments are under way to add thou sands of temporary personnel to postal staffs, but this man power is hard to find and is inexperienc ed. Facilities of railroads and air j lines are heavily taxed by move ments of huge quantities of war materials and personnel. Extra trucks are almost impossible to obtain. Winter weather, hamper ing transportation, is beginning. The free-mailing privilege granted to members of the armed forces has raised their mailings some 30 per cent, it is estimated. Expansion of those forces also is adding rapidly to the postal bur den. The deadline already is past for mailing gifts to Army and Navy personnel overseas with assurance that the parcels will arrive by Christmas. The New York post office reports that in late Octo I ber, 350.000 such parcels were handled dally In that office alone. The Post Office Department is making strenuous efforts to avoid such a terrific jam as it faced in 1918 tinder similar conditions, during the First World War. It can succeed te those efforts ? and avoid many heartaches for its patrons? if the public will coop erate by mailing early.
