These views were given to three members of the State l tilities Commission at the hearing in Murphy last week, but since the Commission has not yet passed on the petition for the sale, local people still have an opportunity to express themselves. This may be done by letters or tele grams The community appreciated the Commis sion'- willingness to hold a hearing in Murphv. I etters so stating have been written this week by community leaders to the members, who were a aT reminded that we like the service of South e 11 Cell and want that company to continue to serve here. To Our Benefit People of ! 'jierokee County have an oppor tunitv now to have an influence in getting some F'crest Service recreational facilities here The Tackett Bill HR 565 now before Congress pro vides that ten per cent of national forest receipts be used for recreational and wildlife purposes This means that the Nantahala National Forest, of which about one fifth is in Cherokee County, would receive annually about $10,000 to devote to these activities. Perhaps more than our pro pionate part could be used in the initial esta blishment of recreational facilities on our lakes. A hearing is set for April 8, and we should let ourselves be heard on the proposition beore that time. Scouting With The Editor THE NORTH CAROLINA SYMPHONY con cert last Thursday evening in Andrews was the best presented in the seven years of its coming to Chero kee County, in my estimation Not being a musician. 1 am not an expert critic, but it seems to me Dr. Benjamin Swalin. diryctor. has a unique knack for .'inding outstanding talent and secures it. He has provided for North Carolina a symphony which should be the pride of the whole state. School chil dren by the thousands hear the concerts annually and look forward to the orchestra's visit as a high point in the year's activities Adults also are learn-. :ng to appreciate and enjoy the symphony more and ' more each time it comes. The North Carolina Sym- j phony orchestra has a real place in the cultural development of our state. THE ANDREWS KONNAHEETA CLL'B and other citizens of the community have a way of capa bly meeting any emergency, as evidenced by last Thursday's activities Awakening to find Terrace Hotel burned, and it the day for the symphony with members to stay at the hoteli and a dinner meeing there in the evening, the women got their heads and hearts together and arranged for the din-! ner to be at the youth building and the orchestra members to be guests in homes of Andrews The banquet, which Phyllis Snyder and I attended, was as good as if the women had weeks to plan it. and a wonderful spirit was manifested 1 always enjoy being with the Konnaheeta club women. RHAPSODY IN BLl'E was the theme of the Training Cnian banquet held Saturday evening at Tlrst Baptist Church The dining hall was beauti fully decorated. Velma Cmphfres and many of the soung people doing the artistic work. .Mrs. W. A Sherrill. president of the W.

However, this paragraph was started with the purpose of quoting' a letter received from correspondent Poley Derre-' berry Valley River: "The Rev.

CLASSIFIED ADS have a big selling power. Often we are told of the excellent results derived from them. Pat Pichard of Sinclair Sewing Mach ine Co. told us this week that THE SCOUT brings him better results than any other of several papers he uses He said: "You must have a very good circu lation." We do. and not only that, many of our papers are read by several families. Mrs. Jack Rob erts told this week of how she sends her copy to her daughter. Butch, who in turn sends it to a rel ative in another state. THE SCOUT goes to most every country in the world. But the most of our circulation is in Cherokee County. Our circulation manager. A. B. Hampton, is ill this week in Murphy General Hospital.

BETTER 4-H CHICKS Success in raisting baby chicks depends upon: 111 Having a good brooder house, (2) Using the right equipment, I3> Feeding a balanced, high-quality ration, and (4) fol lowing proven management prac tices. Start your chicks in a brooder house that has been cleaned and disinfected well in advance of the arrival of the chicks. One can of lye to thirteen gallons of water <1 oz. to one gal.i makes a good disinfectant. The main requirements in rais ing chicks are feed, water, and 'test. In order that chicks can eat vhen they want to, it is import ant that Uv?y have plenty of feed ing space. Feeders made out of -hick boxes, by cutting down the 'ides, about. one inch from the bottom, and taking out the par titions and pads, make good feed ers'for the first few days. Chick -lie feeders Aouid be used for the first four weeks, medium size hoppers from the fourth to the ?welfth and after the twelfth week, covered type feeders should he used while the birds are on 'he range. The chicks should have plenty of fresh, clean water at all times. For the first twenty four hours the chicks can be fed a fine scratch and then put on a starter mash. Do not feed inferior feed. You can raise better developed , and healthier pullets if you can ! :row them on a good green pas ture A saving on mashes and train can be expected by provid- J ?ng green grazing. Raise your pullets separate from old birds. Vaccinate the pullets against fowl pox at ten to sixteen veeks of age and against New castle before they go into pro luction. MONTHLY SCHEDULE Mr. F.

They are ? careless with their dock cattle, hogs and machinery' They buy more than they sell. They let erosion furrow off their anJ. They love the odors of the bat tor. than they love the scent of reshly plowed ground rr new noun hay. They g??ver do today what they an put off until tomorrow They are late to plant and slow ' ? cultivate. They raise more dogs than they d cattle and hogs. They follow their wants when the.v should follow the plow They make less every year than ihey did the year before They hope for fortune but work for misfortune.

DEVOTIONAL READING: Luk* 4 ? 41. Doctor's Hobby Lata lor Mmrrb M. I?? 1 DOCTOR Luke ll ? man to whom we ere all indebted. Without him, we in the cburcb would have lost some of our finest hymns, the "Magnificat" and the "Nunc Dimlt tts;" without him we might never have heard of the story of that first Christmas night when the shepherds watched and the angels sang. He was the only Gospel writer who remem bered to tell us those matchless pa rables, the Lost Sheep and the Prod igal Son, and many another. It Is only from him that we know of Jesus" prayer at Calvary.?"Fa ther. forgive them; they know not what they do." Furthermore. It is only Luke who conceived and wrote the book of Acts. Some Hobbies Are Famous THE Interesting thing is that Dr Luke was not a professional writ er He was a professional physician All the writing he did was what we today might even call a hobby: that is, he got no money for It so far as we know, he Just wrote be cause he loved to write. Very likely he was a good doctor: he is called the "beloved phv? rmn." and we hope that enough p?.upie who loved him also paid their bills promptly so that he could make his living But It was not the doctoring that endeared him to the church of Christ It was what he did in his spare time, it was his missionary work and his writing. It Is the Gospel of Luke and the hook of Acts that are his main claim to lame. Luke is not the first man nor the ?ast to accomplish more by a * sice line" than by his main job 1V< re member David in the Old Ti-a ment. whose rise to power Dt can not with his sheep-herding who no doubt he did to perfect so i with his mu?ic, i hich his fat* t; - ay well have iho... hi a waste of time We remember Mate is An:.- the emperor ni t for his m 'i:.ir> cam paigns. which were r. .-.riv but for the "m:-d tatioi -' .:?? v\rot, in snatches of spare time on tin se campaigns Wc remember the Apostle Paul not for the churches he founded irticu of which folded! but for the dozen or -o letters he managed to squeeze into his busy evenings Other Doctors LDKF. was not the last Christian doctor who has found in what, for some, might be a "side line" his finest means of service and best source of happiness. Dr Howard Kelly of Baltimore was a cancer specialist of no small fame; but he was even better known as a scien tist who not only saw no conflict be tween science and religion, but who brought his skill and his science to the service of Christ. There was another doctor, a sur geon in a midwestern city, not many years ago. who was ready to re tire. He had enough to live on in comfort, and the life of a success ful surgeon In a great city is a wear ing one. But instead of retiring, he went out to China, and in a remote province he spent his "retiring" years at his own expense, hardly knowing a word of Chinese, but having the time of his life and ren dering himself if possible more nearly Indispensable out there than he had ever been back in the states. Again there was the surgeon Alexis Carrel, who with soother scientist first succeeded In keep ing living tissue (a eklcken'a heart) alive far years beyend the time when it "shnnld have" died,?a snrgeon who also be lieved In the power of prayer and whose book "Man the Un known" la valuable as com bining Use scientific and the Christian view of man. Or there was Dr. 1. J. Archer of Chicago and North Carolina, who operated two sanitariums more easily than some ("octors can ran one office, and yet who found his life's deepest satisfactions In the Sunday school class be taught for years. ? ? ? life Is More Than Making a living MANY others besides doctors have made the time discovery. What is a "hobby." after all? It can ba only an elaborate twiddling of the thumbs, something to "kill time"? horrible thought! It can be some thing done merely to relieve nervous pressure. It can be something not really worth doing. But what Dr. Luks found, count less others, including some readers of these lines, have also found: that even when are hsve to spend most of our time making a living, we can dedicate our "spare" lime, under God. to making Ufe. American Cancer Society statis tics show that every day >00 Americans die of cancer.
