Ketner Named Junej
Dairy Month Head I
Appointment MA. Q. Ketner as
June Dairy Month chairman (or
Cherokee County has been announ
ced by Morris L. McCough of
Asheville, Western North Carolina
Chairman.
"Dairying has become a $100,000,
?M industry (or North Carolina
funiliea,". states Mr. Ketaer. "This
is reason enough (or observing
June Dal?y Month. But More im
portant is the (act that we are
too little mjlk in our
state( only a little over half of what
we dMuld. During June; we hope
to get more people In Cherokee
County to saying "Make It Milk".
The milk habit is one habit we
can't go wrong on.
Mr. Ketner stated that the pur
pose of this program is to acquaint
the public with the nutritional (acts
about milk.
He stated that the American
homemaker spends 15 per cent of
her food budget for dairy product*,
but this actually buys 80 per cent
of her family's nutritional needs.
On a nutritional basis, this makes
dairy products the most economi
cal source of vitamins, minerals,
orotein and energy - supplying
foods.
The dairy farmers, milk plants,
agricultural agencies, health de
partments and many civic gin y
are joining forces to let the people
of western North Carolina know
that plenty of good fresh milk Is
available, and that during June it
is the richest and best testing ot
any time.
According to Mr. Ketner, plans
will be worked out soon on the
various activities to be carried out
in the county.

discontinued because of construct
ion activities, and because of main
tenance work at the Apalachia
Dam. ^
TV A said another purpose of the

water for Hiwassee and other down
stream plants.
Elevation of the lake at this time
is at approximately 1,897 feet a
bove sea level. TV A engineers say
that if normal rainfall and runoff
are experiecned over the next few
months, the lake will be drawn
gradually about IT feet or to ele
vation 1,880, by early July.
On the other hand, they say,
should rainfall and runoff be be

The engineers say that in sever
al months, probably in August, it
will be necessary to draw the Hi
wassee and Apalachia Lakes down.
After that, and during the progress
of the construction work at Hi
wassee, which will take about five
weeks, the Hiwassee and Chatuge
Lakes will be allowed to All.
Because of the powerhouse con
struction work now in progress at
the Nottely Dam in north Georgia,

near spillway level.
This level will continue probably

One Out Of Two In N. C.
May Be In Auto Wreck ,
11 the present rate of accidents
on North Carolina streets and high
ways continues unchecked, one out
of every two persons now living In
the state will sooner or later be in
volved in a serious automobile
wreck, according to Motor Vehicles
Commissioner Edward Scheldt.
Speaking over a state-wide rad
[ io-television network in support ot
| the current campaign being con
ducted by the Governor's Traffic
Safety Council, Scheldt said the
only thing that can prevent this
from happening is for every citizen
who operates a motor vehicle to
conscientiously and continually
abide by the state's traffic safety
laws.
The Commissioner based his
statement that one of every two
persons in the state would be in
MARRED BEAUTYI
-
jured in a motor vehicle accident
on statistics which . show that in
North Carolina, at the present
time, a serious automobile acci
dent occurs every 11 minutes,
someone is injured every 34 min
utes, and someone killed every
eight hours.
"The problem of motor vehicle
accidents is one of the most serious
with which our state is confront
ed," Scheldt said. "Are we going to
be content to drift along, day after
day, month after month, and year
after year and see this continue?
Well, I for one am not, and I don't
think that you are either. A great
deal is being done by official agen
cies of our state chen-ed with a
responsibility in thik problem to
make our highways safer. On the
enforcement level we are endeavor
tag to give our people honest and
conscientious law enforcement
On the engineering front, safety ef
forts are being made by our State
Highway Commission. But there is
(till another element ? most Im
portant element of all If we are to'
materially improve this problem ? ,
ind that element Is you, the citi- '
ten ? you, the walkers and the op- 1
srators of motor vehicles here in
Worth Carolina."
Scheldt said that one of the big
test causes for traffic accidents is
hat everybody thinks they will
lappen to the other fellow and not 1
o themselves. But he Warned that 1
accidents don't happen Just to the '
ither fellow.
1
' j
"They happen to you, too," he
*id, "and an of us have a part to
?lay in tyris cafnbalgn now under- '
ray to make our highways the ' j
ruly safeways they ought to be,
ind can be, so that we and our
rives, children, Mends, relatives. '
ind neighbors can use them with
teace of mind and aaauranee that,
Initial plana for the annual July

innounced.
