Today ks Cbrutmaa Eve and
everyone to In a hurry to do thetr
last minute shopping, a toy for
Junior, a gift for grandmother and
a surprise for daddy, lite children
are hopefully waiting to Jump into
bed, so Santa Claus will hurry and
bring them their toys. Mama's are
busy cooking, baking, wrapping

inite meaning as they play the
beautiful Christmas Carols. Among
the merry laughter and greetings I
extend my best wishes to each and
everyone for a very MERRY CHR
ISTMAS.

HEROIC DEED
An employe of the Nantohala
Power and Light Company was
working on lines In front of Her
man West's place on U. S. 19 and
noticed a passing gasoline truck
with a leaking valve. He Immediat
ely radioed the Nantohala Power
office. John Slagle answered the
phone at the office and he in re
turn called Edwin Bristol s station
in Andrews telling him about the
truck which was headed toward
Andrews.
Edwin Bristol. Blaine Blevins
and Grady Hogsed jumped Into a
car an went to meet the truck.
They flagged the truck to a stop on
the edge of town. Upon stopping
the truck the driver closed the
valve and found he had lost 168
gallons of gasoline. Tile truck had
a capacity of 1000 gallons. The
truck contained highly toflamable
gas.
If this truck should have entered
into town with the leaking valve,
just the spark of a cigarette could
have caused a disaster. These cit
zens should be commended for
their alertness and action to pre
ent possible disaster.
