Mr. a-.d Mrs. Watty niUaras of Peachtree Street were Mertaining out of town guest Gently. The guest were eating toner when the WUliauis lour ear -old daughter T-rry walked q to the table and looked very ertously at the wife of the out ot *n visitor. "Tell me," Terry said Efpth all the calm of a four-year id, "Is that man your father?" It rks taken very gracefully, but how r*uld it have been if Terry had aked the gentleman if his wife was & mother? Robbie Stalcup knows a good ake when she sees one. Hecently [fcbbie had a birthday and she re vived a cake from Police Chief leil Sneed, whose ability at cake 4king is well known. Bobbie hid he cake and tried to keep it for erself but that did not work out. fcfore the day was gone, so was r*>st of the cake. It was a very good ake too. But, it was a lot easier i > get cake from Bobbie than her fe. So far, she has not told that. When comes to toys, kids just tu'l be satisfied with any of |hem for long. Recently Mr. and Mrs. Junior Carrol bought their Ion, David, a small, painted chair. David was quite proud of his chair and when they went visiting te carried the chair with him.

Dear Mr. Editor: i lememoer oacit when I finished grammar school and we had a lnue commencement program where every booy got a little slip 01 paper made to look like a diploma. The thing that bothered me was that it was called a commencement program when it looked like the end of something to me. A little later, 1 heard a teacher say commencement was called that because it was the beginning ol a new experience for grad uates. t or High scnool seniors, commencement means the time that mcy wui uc p<uitu irum long lime menus, unit to go to woik or to ?.ouc6e. <iuu usually, lue.e la a gieai ue?u ul sauuess ai corn mencement. ' j>ui, snould there be? Why should a senior be sad when before turn is waiting an aim out entire lifetime that he can use anyway he wants ui.' -mat will be new experience, new menus scattered ail mrougn ihtg me time. Tljere is no limit the senior can go if he wan.s. That is one of ot the line tilings aooui oui country. a man ooes not nave to be born into any family to reach his goal, fie can do it it by his own determ ination and wul. His life is his own and how he uses it is up to his acuity and desire. We near a nx aoout the young person of today who goes out and steal tires and fighu, gets drunk and wrecks the family car. But, the vast majoriy of the youths are serious, hard working, responsi ble persons. Tlje community is depending on them to take over in a few years. I, for one. believe that we will be in good hands. For the graduating seniors of this area, 1 wish the greatest amount of success and good luck in their new experience of re sponsibility. tUscerefar, I. D. Clare 115 Seniors To Receive Diplomas At Murphy High Commencement Spokesmen Say "Operation Bootstrap" Has Not Nearly Reached $100,000 Goal The directors of "Operation Boot strap" stated recently that judging by the "ji.-^iing" of the 3,000 cans, the goal of $100,000 has not nearly been reacheu as yet. Ueinz Rollman, as spokesman for the directors, stated they have filled cans with pennies, dimes, quarters, nickels and half-dollars, and have learned pretty well to judge by the weight of the can how much money it contains. Rollman stated that the directors are not at au discouraged by the results so far, since some counties, even some 01 the larger ones, are only now getting started to contri bute. The Franklin road block last Sat urday brought in over $100 in just a few hours, which is the highest amount ever collected at a road block in Macon County. The Bryson City roadblock resulted in over $100, wincn the directors in Swain County feel showed the real deep in terest shown in those counties by the people. Rollman stated that he was in l st meted by his co-directors to issue a slatcmiu thanking the pres}r tor their wonderful, wholehearted co operation una mat without the full cooperation of the press, the same results could not have been nearly achieved. "So far", the directors stated, "the results of 'Operation Bootstrap", the good results we have seen, only to three groups.? the press I newspapers, radio and TV), the school pi .ncipals and teachers and the volunteers. Naturally, also the people who have made their contributions already If enough people keep on working the "show" can probably be put on the road muci, sooner than the dir ectors anticipated. The Board of Directors also have discussed al ready in innummerable telephone discussions that if not sufficient money is ratted now, but only en ought to make a beginning. That such stated, "It looks to me as if most of the directors agree that if not sufficient money is collected to buy a new traitor truck at this time that "Operation Bootstrap* will be gin by leasing a trailor truck for StSSiS&SSSSSSSiSB a year, if this is possible and practical." Money is being collected in most towns throughout the mountain re gion and nt- results will be known until now usually contain between Full cans that have been emptied unitl now usually conain between $20 and 30, and amounts so far emptied from the cans have been deposited in the name of the Western North Carolina Industrial Developmen: Corporation in various local banks in the counties repres ented in the organization. Silver Polish Found To Contain Cyanide An analysis of the silver polish that apparently killed 16-year-old Carmclita Moss has shown the liq uid contains cyanide, according to Sheriff Claude Anderson. Mr. Anderson said district Solic itor. Gleim Brown will conduct a coroner^ inquest into Miss Moss' death Monday at 10 p.m. at thj courthouse. The investigation of Miss Moss' death was re-opened last week when a resident of Marble called the solicitor into the case. She died about IX p.m. May 3 after reportedly drinking silver pol ish. Mr. Anderson said that anyone in terested in the case is urged to at tend the hearing. Coach Maennle Honored By School Teams ANDREWS ?
