"Open House" Exhibit v During next week Macon county women's projects will hold "Open House", inviting the public to come and see for themselves how the tax money of the American people is being spent in the sound investment of vocational and serv ice enterprises. 1 This week of nationwide "This Work Pays Your Community" Ex hibitsMay 20-25will give the community a special opportunity to have complete information as to the aims; achievements and final outcome of the seven WPA women's projects. . ' Macon Project The following projects that in vite inspection. . by the public touch a large percentage of this county's population is a helpful and constructive way: The sewing room project, hous ed on the second floor of the Leach building, employs 26- women at present, making garments for distribution and training unskilled women to sew correctly. Through the surplus commodity distribution project, with head quarters in the basement of the McCoy building, Macon county last year received and distributed 273, 1(57 pounds of wholesome articles of food and also handled the dis tribution of garments made in the WPA sewing rooms to the needy of the county. Adult education, which is car ried on largely by unemployed teachers, takes Opportunity for ed ucation into remote places. In a period of two years 1280 persons have' been given instruction in subjects of their own choosing. Perhaps the project touching more Macon county person's is the Library and bookmobile project. In the' public library three full time library workers are on duty, handle the circulation of 75 or more books daily, and keep the books repaired and in good order. The bookmobile, . which carries books into rural sections, is loaned by the WPA state-wide project. It has distributed 3,931 books and 865 magazines in four months. The historical records survey, sponsored in this state by the North Carolina Historical Commis sion, with headquarters in the courthouse, is securing the history of churches and their records, also listing all those buried in ceme teries who died prior to 1914. The school lunch projects held their "open house" celebration be fore .school closed. The gardening and canning project, which is part of the school lunch project, will grow and can food for next sea son's school lunches. Matron service, part of the adult education project, furnishes care for the small children in two county schools that have indoor rest rooms. These projects give employment to about 77 women most of whom are widows, or whose families are dependent on them on account of disabled husbands, many having froin two to six small children. Besides training the women in useful occupations from which they can later earn a living, the pay roll thus brought into the county is a help to business.

MAY 25 NAMED AS POPPY DAY To Be Sponsored Here By The Franklin Legion Auxiliary This year, with trenches again dug in the poppy-studded fields of France, the American public is in tensly war conscious. Americans are conscious, also, ' as never be fore, of the blessings of pur coun try and are being' moved by stronger sentiments "of patriotism. With our poppies we are offering them a means of expressing their feelings for those who died in war to defend the things they value so highly today, and to aid those who still are suffering as a result of patriotic service. Poppy Day will be observed in Macon county and throughout the nation on May 25, the Saturday before Memorial Day, Mrs. Alfred Higdon, president of Franklin Unit of the American Legion Auxiliary, announced today. On that day all Americans will be asked to wear memorial poppies in tribute to the World War dead and to aid the living victims of the war. Auxiliary Aid Veterans A1 contributions received for the poppies will go to Legion and Auxiliary welfare work for the dis abled veterans, their families and the families of the dead. "We feel that Poppy Day .will have increased meaning to Amer ica this year", said one of pur state officers, "because renewed warfare in Europe has renewed the memory of those boys of ours who gave their lives 'oyer there' 22 years ago. It is for them that we put on the poppy each year, to show that we still remember and honor their sacrifices. Jt is the flower which grew where they fell and which now blooms on the coats of Americans who appre ciate their service. Events of the past year have shown us clearly that to be se cure the United States must have men ready and able to defend the country, willing to give their lives in its defense, if necessary. We can .be thankful today that we 1936 Chevrolet Coach . (Standard) 1937 Dodge Sedan 1937 Studebaker Sedan 1936 Ford Sedan 1936 Ford Coach 193S Chevrolet Coach ' (Standard) 1935 Che v.

Oteen Patients Make Poppies The poppies were received from Oteen hospital where . they were made by' disabled World War vet-. eranS. They show the patient and devoted work of these men , who made ' them in remembrance of their : departed comrades.' All hand-made, the flowers vary slight ly according to the skill ot the veterans. ' Poppy-making means much to the disabled veterans. For those in the hospitals; it provides an in teresting occupation to fill the long hours of. illness and convalescence. It has high value as occupational therapy, helping the men speed their recovery. It gives them the encouraging experience of again earning money and of being able to send money home to help sup port their families. The poppy work rooms , main tained by the Auxiliary ' in a number of states, provide employ ment for disabled men,outside the hospitals who are unable . to do other work. For them the poppy work is an eagerly sought relief from unhappy idleness, from the almost hopeless search for a job their limited strength . can per form, and a means of supporting themselves and. families. The. disabled veterans are the only persons who receive pay for poppy work. The Auxiliary women who handle and distribute the : i 1939 Chevrolet Truck lyi Ton, Good tires and 1940 .
