Telephone Building Is Credit To Murphy Jhe new building being constructed by the Western Carolina Telephone Company in Murphy is a real credit to the town. And when the company makes the change over to the dial system on June 30, Murphy tele phone service will rank with the best sys tems in the country in up-to-date service. Western Carolina is expressing great faith in the future of our city by this expansion program to meet the demands of a progres sive area. The new telephone building, located on the corner of Central and Church Streets, is of cream brick and modern split-level architect ure perfectly complementing its sloping lot. Church St. will soon be paved by the town and Central St., running in front of the new construction will be widened by 10 feet, thereby enhancing the town's business dis trict and alleviating traffic congestion on a busy corner. These signs ? an attractive new building, widening of streets, expansion of service, ? all point to growth for Murphy, and a bright future for Cherokee County. Flouridation Is Timely Topic In many papers throughout the country the word flouridation crops up again and again. There have been those who are in fav* or of it and those who are not. The purpose of this column is to bring up such a timely subject so that it can be aired by each and everyone and let the public at large be the judge. Today more than 22 million people in 1,100 communities are drinking water with flourides added to bring the level to the re commended proportion of one part per mil lion. In this quantity the desired results are supposed to be obtained, to help control cavities in teeth. The Asheville Citizen carried an article on Flouridation in the May 6 Sunday edition and with the coming of our new water sys tem, The Scout felt this talked of subject is worthy of notice. WORDS OF LIFE THE MEANING OF OUR SAVIOR "8 ASCENSION BY Hie Reverend Vitolds GoMns, Pa* tor St Andrew's Evangelical Lutheran Church Andrews, North Carolina Luke 16:19, "So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God." Today the Christian Church is celebrating the Festival of the Ascension of our Lord. This is one of the most important events in the Church Year. The Ascension is the fulfillment of our Savior's life on the earth as God and man in one person. As we contemplate upon the importance and meaning of this Festival there are few things of which we should be aware. And first of all, the Ascension of our Lord was a proof that His mission on earth was completed, the prophecies of the Old Testament were fulfilled. By giving Himself upon the Cross our Lord completed the act of atonement for every sin and fevery sinner. He fully reconciled heavens and earth, He gave back to man the chance and opportunity to have a fellowship with his Creatorr In His victory over death and grave the plan of God for man's redemption was finished. By His sufferings He bought us, by His sac rifices He made us His own. The purpose of the Incarnation was completed in the Resurrection, therefore now He could return to the glories of heaven, as it is pointed out by St. Paul, "There fore God has highly exalted Him and has be stowed on Him the name which is above every name . . (Phil. 2:9) Secondly, through His Ascension our Savior turned to His rightful place as the Son of God. And He returned to plead for His own. Today He as our High Priest pleads for us, prays for us, intercedes for us: every time we stray away from His Grace He asks the Heavenly Father, "Father, I was wonnded for their crime. I was bruiaed for their iniquities. I was crucified for their trangressions. The punishment by which their peace was secured came upon me, and by. my stripes they are healed." However, It ?u not CJiriat clone who ascend ed into heaven, but alao the human race with Hia, conatatlnc of theae who km (bond Ufa In promlaea.

ELLIOTT of Robbinsville had a stroke of bad luck last week as he was return ing home to Robbinsville from Fort McPherson, Ga , after just being discharged from 20 years' service in the Army. Ernest's duffel bag, bear ing his name and serial number, was lost off the bus baggage compartment somewhere -be tween Murphy and Topton. I certainly hope he has been able to find it by now. Unfortunately he didn't have his baggage checked, but the bus company is trying to hel phim locate the duffel bag. At McPherson Ernest knew the twin Brown boys ? Bud and Ben from Peachtree. Bud, you know is married to the former Betty Moore, and is stationed in Germany. And Ben, I believe is still at Ft. McPherson. WAY AWAY HOWARD WEST'S brother, W. R. WEST, wrote last week for a subscription to the Scout. He is living way out in Dayton, Wyoming where he has been for 26 years. He is also a brother of VENSON WEST of Marble and has a number of other relatives in this county that I can't begin to enumerate. I do well to keep up with individ uals around here without getting into that end less business of who's kin to who. Anyhow, one of West's sisters, who lives in Akron, Ohio and takes the Scout, had been sending copies to Wyoming from time to time. SUMMER BRIDES At least three lucky young men are going to to take away as their brides this summer three pretty Cherokee County girls ? DORIS WELLS, JEANNE ELLIOTT and ANN SHIELDS. All three brides-to-be met their fiances when they went away to college. Doris, whose betrothal to ROBERT M. MOORE, JR., son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Moore of Winston-Salem, was announced last week, is now teaching in the Draper schools at Draper, N. C. (not far from Winsto^flalem). Robert is now in the service, but will be getting out this summer and will probably teach school next year or go back to school himself and study toward his masters' degree. He and Doris met while they were both students at Western Carolina College, Cullawhee. Doris graduated last year and Robert the year be year before, J tlurik. Doris is the attractive, daughter of the J. C. Wells' of Marble. I'm not sure when the wedding will be nor where, but it is planned for this summer. JEANNE ELLIOTT, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. CLIFF ELLIOTT of Murphy, will graduate from Greenville College, Greenville, HI. this spring. | She plans to take some special course In sum mer school for six weeks following her gradua tion and feer tentative date for marriage to MORGAN ROBERTSON, son of Mr. and Mrs. TED ROBERTSON of Breckenridge, Mich. ,is set at July 20. The wedding will be in the Free Methodist Church here. Morgan, who visited here spring holidays, is a freshman at Green ville College, after having been in service for a few years. So the couple will make their home in the college town at least for the pres- , ent. ANN SHIELDS, whose betrothal to EDWIN BROWN, JR. of Murfreesboro, was announced some months ago, is a junior at Woman's Col lege of the University of North Carolina, Greens boro. Edwin is a senior at Guilford College. Their marriage will be June 10 at 4 p. m. at the Murphy First Baptist Church. Right now Edwin plans to work for a year at Guilford following his graduation while Ann completes her final year of college, and after that they will make their home in Murfreesboro where Edwin will be associated in business with his father. Ann, you know, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Shields of Murphy. UNIFORMS, PLEASE About six Little Leaguers have been asking Murphy businessmen to help them out buying their uniforms for the approaching season. The Uniforms will be lettered with the name of the firm which purchased the suit. I hope the^ 16 uniforms are bought right away ? and I believe they will ? so the Little League can really get organized and get Into the season early. Some of the fellows that tame by our office were DOUG BOWMAN, SAMMY DUNCAN. BUD DY KELLi/n, HUBERT HINTON and a couple of others. - ? BUSY MAN R. B.

Most folks think Wasnh^ton Is j run by a bunch of prWItlrlarW and professional Job-holders. That Is . only partly true. There a re hun dreds of men and women who accept government Jobs at a per . sacrifice they fed ; a public duty to serve their coun try. i For every paragraph yon read about dishonesty in Washington I we could write a column about men .and women who are doing a fine Job, without expectation of pubUc , praise. Some of them spend a lot of their time dodging the barrage of brickbats thrown by scandal hungry columnists. ? This week w?wo*d Kke to give our bouquet to a Texan who came to Washington rtx months ago to become Assistant Secretary of the Ait Force in charge of buying planes and all of the other more than 1.290,000 items that go to build the air %rga of our military defenses. Dudley C. Sharp supervises the ?pending of ?10 billion a mr, to baild and maintain the most powerful air force in the world. That la for materiel only and does not Include salaries and other op erational costs. It to the largest single item in the national budget. Before coming to Washington, Mr. Sharp was president of the Mission Manufacturing Company, of Houston, an on Industry supply firm. He served tn the Navy from IMS to IMS. He to as proud of the Air Force as If he bad originated the idea. "My first striking Impression," be says, "concerned the tremen dous size of the TJ. 8. Air Force? and when a Texan admits to being impressed by the magnitude of anything, it must be big." -His second impression was one of respect and admiration for the military and other people he wfcrks with. "We have," ha says proudly, . "thousands of career Air Fores men who draw salaries only a fraction of what they could command in private Industry. It to a tribute to their patriotism that they oontlnue to serve the Air Force." Mr. Sharp talks easily and freely about the Air Force and the great )ob it to doing, but very .little about his role In It. The two most striking things about him, say his associ ates, are mental alertness and hto. Ability to inspire fitinflrtwftft When be boasts it to about the Air Force. He to proud of the outstanding Air Force record. of many billions at dollars spent with a remarkable record of efficiency and honesty. Air Force records show that in the past three years, only one empleye out of more than 1,360,000 has been fbund guilty of dishonesty. - Efficiency and economy in an1 operation the slsr of the Air Force to a remarkable achievement.
