BIGHT PAGES THIS WEEK PUBLISHED WEEJtLY 5t RAMBLER Bmijiimi should have a hobby, they say. and the hobby should t* different than the work you do. Po lice Chief Neil Sueed certainly took this advice. Mr. Sliced bakes cakes as a hobby, and delicious cakes they are, we bear. And to make sure that the cakes are properly enjoyed. Mr. Snecd bakes them free and delivers them to' your door if you like. Well, wc are not hinting or anything like that, but if Mr. Sneeds feels inclined to bake a cake and there is no place to take it, the Scout officc is nearby and we have never been known to re fuse a cake, even if it is cooked by the chief of police. Heyward Crawford said there wm much too much ado over his reeeat experience of haviag a baby bora to a patient in his am bulance. Mr. Crawford said there Is really nothing to it. In fact, he believes he can soon qualify as a midwife. Women having babies in his ambulance is really old hat to Mr. Crawford. Why shouldn't it be? he asked. A baby was born ia his ambulance the first time he ever picked up a patient, the very first lime ae drove the am bulance. L. B. Marshall Jr., assistant County agent, is basically an hon est persoa who has nothing to fear from the law. He proved this rec ently on a trip back Irom Tennes see. Mr. Marshall was driving along at a normal rate of speed and soon found himself behind a high way patrolman's car. L. B. was in a hurry and the patrolman was driving about 35 or 40 and he want ed to pass, but he has not been able to get his 1959 license tag be cause of a mixup in his car regis tration.. Rather than take the chance of being stopped and fined, L. B. blew his horn until the patrolman pulled over. Then and there, they got the matter squared away and L. B. was allowed to continue on down the highway at his usual tate of speed and without a license tog. Dogs have been named man's best friend, but like women and children, can prove to be em barrassing at times. Recently, Tom Houts and E. N. Hooper, highway patrolman, were out to feat Mr. Haaper's new dag. At first, things worked ant well with the dog showing off to advantage. Then a gun was fired and the dag tank off. Mr. Houts and Mr. Hoop er looked and called. But it did no good. The dog had left for parta unknown.. When the two gat back to Mr. Hooper's car, they found the dog. He had clhn bed ?p the back of the car and was hiding behind the siren on Mr. Hooper's patrol car, asleep.

'Ill iff lit Appreciate <3t Dear Mr. Eaitor: Lately, we've heard a lot of talk about youngers around here not having enough to do, and 1 suppose that a lot of it's true. But, seems that every boby is talking about giving thr kids more recreation. Now these kids ain t the (our and five year old kind, but the almost grown variety that's got everybody worried. If it was little kids rather than big younguns, it would be possible to set them down and tell them to be happy with a dime store toy, but that just can't be done with teenagers, it seems. To hear most folks talk, you got to give a boy or girl over H a brand new car with 300 horsepower and an unlimited supply of money to spend on gas, plus all the time he might want to drive around day or nighL Then all the old folks is got to do is stay at home and worry about what they are doing on the back roads, or if they are wrapped around a telephone pole somewhere. Maybe, that if pop and mom thought about telling junior he could not go out every night or sis she could not date but one of two nights a week, the whole family would be better off. It's been quite awhile back, but as well as I can remember schools used to give homework and if you wene going to school, you were expected to do that homework. Somehow, I just don't think that junior or Sis would be ruined socially tf they were not allowed to run around all ho urs of the night. It is possible that grades as welt as interest in other things would go up a point or two if the kids were told that they should stay home tonight and study or just read a book. I'll bet it won't hurt them much though they scream and carry on. Who knows, 15 or 20 years from now, they might actually appreciate it rather than having some horrible complex. SAVE) Enjoy Wizard engineering, ?- * 1 rennessee Man Pushes Wagon Train Road Plan The dream of a scenic forest Highway along tbe border of Ten lines see and North Carolina may be substantially closer to reality. W. E. Michael of Sweetwater, Tenn.; chairman of tbe Monroe County Procurement Committee, thinks so, anyway. Michael has been pursuing tbe dream several years. He has con ferred with tbe governors of Ten nessee and North Carolina and re cently with Sen. Estes Kefauver and Rep. J. B. Frailer <D., Chat tanooga) in Washington. First step is getting agreement of the two states to a Jointly main tained road across the mountains from near Murphy, through Nanta hala National Forest and the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest on the North Carolina side and the Tellico Ranger district of Cherokee Nation al Forest on the Tennessee side along the "wagon train route"? terminating in the Tellico Plains, Madisonville, Sweetwater area. This road would tie into the now-planned East-West interstate highway near present Rt. 68 and 'give the rugged wilderness area access to main tourist routes. "The U. S. Forest Service's long-| range plan," said Michael, "is to build a scenic highway compar able to the Blue Ridge parkway, along the North Carolina-Tennessee border when the area is made ac cessible by the wagon train rant*.'* He said his talks with Tennessee Gov. Buford Ellington and North Carolina Gov. Luther Hodges sparked "every favorable reactions and very practical assurances" of their support. He said the highway departments of the two states are setting up a joint meeting with the U. S. forest service "probably within the next few weeks" to discuss the wagon train route which has been pub licized with annual trans-mountain treks in covered wagons and on horseback, garbed in pioneer dress. "We hope," said Michael, "to have officials committments on the wagon road within the next 90 days and to see actual work started by -the end of the year. I understand that when a committment on the road is made the Forest Service will begin a survey for the scenic route. We feel plans are going for ward splendidly." The vast recreational area, said Michael .is envisaged by its champ ions as , being complementary to the Great Smoky Mountains Nation al Park and the Bine Ridge Park way, bringing even more visitors and tourist dollars into the two states.
