? at Hayesville, N. C. on Mon
d?y?: Andrews, N.C. on Wed
nesdays; and Robbinsvllle, N.
C. on Tuesdays and Thurs
days. Some have asked for a
definition of an 'exhaustee',"
said Mr. Wilson. "Generally
speaking, benefits are exhaus
ted when a person has ex
hausted his lights to regular
State beneflts(lncludlngUCFE
and UCX), when he has re
ceived the maximum benefits
allowable to him In his bene
fit year or when his benefit
year has expired before he

"They do not have avail
able benefit rights In ANY
State ......
"They meet the registration

ments of North Carolina's
Employment Security Law and

"We estimate that the num
ber of exhaustees who will be
affected In North Carolina will
be from 40,000 to 50,000 and
the total amount which may
be paid in benefits to State
unemployed workers is es
dmated at $7.9 millions,"

MURPHY NEEDS 249 PINTS
Mattox On SHC
Possibility List
Western North Carolina
possibilities for appointment
to an expanded State High
way commission appeared to
be revolving around these per
sons:
Ted Jordan, Robblnsvllle
contractor, Sanford supporter
and close friend of P*p. Leo
nard W. Lloyd, author of the
reorganization bill.
Jack Kirksey, Morgan ton
furniture man and Influential
Burke County leader.
H. A. Mattox, Murphy hard
ware store owner, former
Cherokee County Democratic
Executive Committee chair
man.
tf the 19-man commission is
approved by the General As
sembly, possibilities of a Bun
combe resident being tapped
for the commission would be
enhanced, according to re
ports here.
John Reynolds, Asheville
businessman and long acdve
in school affairs, has been
mentioned for the job.
Other possible appoint
ments have been listed as
Loranzo Smathers, Canton
grocer and Jonathan Woody,
Waynesvtlle officer of First
Union National Bank. A split
of Democratic support In Hay
wood between the two has
worked to make it difficult
for Gov. Sanford to choose
anyone from that county, many
political observers believe.
Folk School Field
Trip Made For
Landscaping Study
For the purpose of studying
landscaping projects, tree fa
rming, the use of native woods
In the finishing of houses, and
in the making of furniture,
the Wednesday Study Group
made trips to the J. V. Gists,
the FredSmlths, and theGeorg
Bldstrups in Brasstown, and
to the Bob Andersons, Mrs.
Allen J. Bells, and Anderson
Bells in Ogden.
Each of these places had a
different, but important con
tribution to make to the study
purposes. The one thing each
stressed was to make the best
use of that which nature pro
vided ? "Often we cannot
improve a great deal on the
natural," said several of
them ? Bob Anderson, a lo
ver of the beautiful native
woods, said, "If I had wanted
lumber without a flaw I would
have gone to a regular dealer
and got It, but 1 happen to
like the knot-holes, and the
grab-hook marks In this!"
Brasstown community has
a particular charm, all its
own, and the nicest part of
it Is that the people who live
there recognize it, and want
to keep It that wayl They are
setting a good example of
showing pride In the appear
ance of the entire community,
especially the roadside beau
tiflcation. If they keep It up,
someday folks will drive
through just to feast their
eyes on beauty.

Urged To
Do you know what type of
blood you have? Is it one of
the rare AB or negative types
or one of the more common
positives?
The Murphy Bloodmobile
Committee today released
some interesting statistics on
former blood donors in the
Murphy area.
Records show there has
been only one AB negative
donor in the ten years the
Bloodmobile has served Mur
phy. Only 7 B negative don
ors, 16 AB positives, 29 A
negatives, 30 O negatives, and
44 B positives have been re
corded.
On the other hand, 141 A
positives and 182 O positives
have given to the Blood Bank.
Thirty-four blood donors
have given one gallon (eight
pints) or more, making up a
total of 383 pints of blood.
Yet 317 one-time-only donors
have only given a total of
317 pints. It is clear from
these statistics that regular
giving is the key to a suc
cessful blood program.
Anyone who is able to give
blood is urged to cooperate
by joining in the all out ef
fort to fill the required 249
pint blood quota when the
Bloodmoblle comes to thePo
wer Board, Tuesday. April 11.
Hours for giving Hood are
from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m.
Five Ladies Give Total Of 127 Pints
The five Udies shown above have given a total of 127
pints of blood over the past years. The Bloodmoblle will
be In Murphy, Tuesday, April 11, from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m.
at the Power Board Building. These ladies ask you to
donate a pint of blood and help Murphy reach its quota'
of 249 pints. They are seated left to right, J ohnnle Savage,
27 pints, and Esther Buchanan. 23 pints. Standing, Cecile
Mills, 31 pints; Dot Hensley, 21 pints; and Edythe Howard,
