You know they are the ones who accompany Elvis Presley," said Wanda. She continued, "Making records has been my goal for the past six years. My mother has been more help than I can tell you. She has devoted so much of her time to giving me any assistance that she possible could."

Area Schools To Get Needed Facilities For several weeks three Cherokee County school boards have been discussing school building needs In this county. A list of the needs were made if) by Lloyd Hen drix. Cherokee County Superintendent, Charles Fra zler, Andrews Superintendent, and Holland M (Swain, Murphy Superintendent.

State school officials have been consulted In regard to the building needs throughout the county and have promised to work with the men In this building program. In studying school board needs and pre paring this program, the state officials have had one main objective in mind and that is to provide die kind of facilities that they might .iave the oppor tunity to receive quality education. The boards are considering employing one architect and as soon aa he Is employed he will prepare preliminary plana for all these proposed new facilities. When these plans are prepared, an esti mate will be made of the cost of this program. According to McSwaln, the boarda do not know how soon they will be able to begin this program but hope to begin some time during the next school year. A list at the school building needs are as follows: Andrews City Schoola HIGH SCHOOL: 1 Library. 9 Science Rooms, 2 Business Ed. Rooms, 1 Home Be. Department, 8 Classrooms, 1 vocational Ag.

Grand Jury Wants Two Paid Sheriffs Deputies/ Radios The Cherokee County Grand Jury for the July term of Superior Court has recom mended In Its report th?t two deputies be pUced In the Sheriffs Department and paid a salary of $250 per month. At present there are no paid deputies In the Sheriff's De partment. There are between IS and 20 deputies In die county lhat work on the fee basis. One county official stated that he felt that the county would be In violation of a state law If the deputies were paid a salary. He had reference to the law passed Introduced In 1959 by former Representative Mrs. G. W. Cover which placed the Sheriff's deputies completely on the fee system. Previous to the passage of this law, the sheriff's deputies had received a salary of $175 a month, plus fees. According to State Senator W. Frank Forsyth, the county commissioners have the authority to act In any manner they see fit under the "Home Rule BUI" Introduced by Senator Forsyth and passed by the legislature during the recent session. This bill gives coundes certain powers to act on local matters that need prompt attention that previously had to be brought before the legislature. The grand jury also recom mended that two way radios be placed in the Sheriff De partment's . vehicles. The report stated that the county is in more need for law enforcement officials than it has ever been and that letters from different parts of the county had been received asking for immediate action to be taken on public drunkness, boot-legging and drag-racing. The report further stated that the jury felt that the High Sheriff should appoint the two deputies needed. In other recommendations, the report stated that the grand jury feels that the taxi stands and pool rooms on Tennessee Street are a nusiance to the public. The report recom mended that the taxi stands be removed from main street and the pool rooms be checked since many boys under fifteen yeais of age have been seen in the pool rooms. The report further recom mended that immediate action be taken. J. N. Bollng was the foreman of the grand jury. Chickens To Be Bought For Lunchrooms The U. S. Department of Agriculture are planning to buy young chickens for school lunchrooms, according to a telegram sent by Roy A. Taylor Monday, July 24. "This may encourage local people to put broilers back in their chicken houses and It may influence prices of broilers. It may also effect getting money back on pro duction." This statement was made by Bub Brown, manager of Brown's Deluxe Hatching Eggs, Inc. In Murphy. "This will probably not be a big boom because there are not many broilers In this area but It is good Information and will probably be of Interest to the poul trymen In this area. I doubt that this will be enough to sway the market." This was the opinion of Wayne Holland, manager of Wayne's Feed Store In Murphy. Inquires to the telegram should be addressed to Poultry Div.

Shields Seeks to rind Cause Of Radiation Damage DR .HOWARD SHIELDS.son of Mr. and Mrs. Burt Shields of Rt. 1, Marble. Low Bids Accepted For Hiwassee River Bridge At Murphy Contracts have been awarded for the construction of a new bridge on U. S. 64 across Hiwassee River. Low bidders were Macon Construction Co. who submit ted a low bid of $237,099 on the approaches and Blue Ridge Structure Co. of Asheville for the bridge work. The actual bid for the construction of the bridge was $192,490.90. The total project is 1.22 miles in length. State Sen. W. Frank For syth who has long been interested In the great need for a new bridge across Hl wassee River said that he supposed work on the approaches would begin im mediately. They will probably not be able to begin work on the bridge until the lake is lowered as the high water would be prohibitive. I have been told that the approaches will take 30 days longer to complete than the bridge once they get started, " added Sen. Forsyth. The first announcement that Murphy would get a new bridge appeared in September, 1959. Controversy arose over the bridge matter in October, 1959 when the State Highway Com mission announced that they would not build a new bridge but would repair the old one. Chairman of the Highway Commission Melvin n rough - ton sent word to Sen. Forsyth in July of59 that the necessary funds had been reserved for a new bridge. West Appointed To Legislative Highway Group Cherokee County Rep. Her man H. Wait has been appointed to a committee at Western North Carolina legis lators who will seek ta il stance from the WNC Re gional Planning Commission In formulating an area wtda road program. West's appointment was an nounced Thursday by Buncombe Rep. Gordon H. Greenwood of Black Mountain, Chairman of die WNC legislative delegation who named five other members of the committee Wednesday at a meeting of legislators in AshevUle* Two young Wake Forest College professors are seeking to determine die damage or change Inflicted by radiation on chemical com pounds which occur in living matter. The project is underwritten for the current year by a $15,230 grant from the Atomic Energy Commission and re flects a growing trend toward greater cooperation among the various branches of science. One of the professors. Dr. Phillip Hamrick, is a chemist and the other, O*". Howard Shields, Is a physicist. They are attempting to determine what happens physically and chemically to certain types of compounds, such as carbohy drates and amino adds, when they are exposed to varying amounts of X-ray energy. For Instance, Dr. Shields will take a crystal of sugar that has been exposed to radladon and place It In an electron spin resonance spectrometer. The Instru ment is sensitive to the mag netic properties of certain types of molecular fragments called free radicals which are produced by the radiation. Electromagnetic energy, which Is similar to ordinary light but has a longer wave length is directed by the spectrometer toward the sugar which Is located 1n an intense magnetic field. The electromagnetic wave will detect changes caused earlier by the X-rays In the arrange ment of electrons In the sugar. Changes are displayed on an - oscilloscope and a chart re- ? corder. Dr. Hamrlck then may take ' the same crystal and make chemical analyses. He knows, i for instance, that certain atomic groupings asen't In the | main part of the sugar molecule after X-ray expo- j sure. Working through a ( variety of analyses, he wants | to determine which groupings . are lost. ( Although both men are hesi - j tant to say that their work will have practical results, ( they note that basic knowledge of irradiation damage will add to the growing body of data ] on the effects of radioactive , fallout. { Scientists also have been | considering the possibility of storing food for great lenghts of time aftier it has been , preserved by Irradiation. The , work done at Wake Forest | may foresee what can be expected in the way of food change should such a project | be attempted. Work Under Way On Revaluation Of Real Property In Clay Co. The North Carotin? General Assembly pissed i new act at the 1959 session providing for the systematic revaluation of property for ad valorem tax purposes and divided the Counties in the State into eight divisions and requiring all the Counties in the State to conduct a revaluation of all real pro perty in the year designated for each division. ClayCounty was placed In division No. 2 with a group of six other counties in which It Is man datory that all real property be revalued for the year 1962, as of January 1, 1962. One of the reasons for the passage of the new mandatory act was that a number of Counties in the State Including Clay County had heretofore failed to. conduct a revaluation every four years. The new act provides that hereafter all real property shall be revalued every eight years following the new revaluations under the new act. The last revaluation of real property in Clay County was made in 1947. In recent years most of the Counties and Towns in the State have employed the as sistance of appraisal firms in making revaluations of pro perty to the end that a uni form system of revaluation could be carried out through out the County and to establish better and permanent records of all property and property values In the county. After a number of months of consideration the Board of County Commissioners of Clay County have employed the services of Carroll - F helps Company revaluation con sultants of Winston Salem. North Carolina to assist the Board of County Com - missioners andTaxSupervisor of Clay County In setting up a proper system and records of all real property in Clay County. Carroll - Phelps Company has already begun preliminary work and will set up the records for the County on each piece of real property located in Clay County for the prupose of the Board and Tax Supervisor establishing and conducting the required new revaluation as of January I, 1962. The Board of County Commissioners has ordered from the Government Aerial Photo Maps of the County to use In connecdon with the re valuation. The Board of County Com missioners and Tax Super visor request that each property owner co-operate with them and the employees of Carroll-Phelps Company in setting up and returning an accurate record of all real property in Clay County.
