typical . . .
Two weeks ago the management of The Press
decided to "try some of its own medicine".
It inserted a little 13-word advertisement in the
? ,
Want Ad column, offering a used typewriter for
sale.
The ad ran one time, but the replies are still
joining in. Inquiries received by mail came,
among other places, from Georgia and New York.
But the typewriter was sold before noon the
day The Press came out!
*
That's typical of the way these little want adS
work. And they cost so little ? only 40 cents for
anything up to 26 words.
So, if you . . .
?
Have something for sale ?
Want a job ?
Are looking for a ride to Asheville or Atlanta
or some other place ?
Want to buy something ?
Have lost something, or found something ?

Will Examine Children'
* % Whj Are To Enter
School In Fall
A series of pre-school clinics
for Macon County children who
will enter school for the first
time next fall has been arrang
ed by the county health de
partment, it was announced this
week by Mrs. Frank Shope,
county health nurse.
At these clinics, the children
will be immunized against
smallpox, diphtheria, and
whooping cough, and will be
given general physical inspec
tions by the nurse. The pur
pose of these inspections, Mrs.
ohope explained, is to discovei
detects, such as poor teeth, dis
eased, tonsils, etc., so that they
can tje corrected before the
child starts school next fall.
Mrs. Shope also emphasized
that she is in the health office
in the Ashear building each
Saturdly morning irom 9 to 12, 1
and each Monday from 9 a. m.
to 4:30 p. m., for general clinics,
when diphtheria, whooping
cough, smallpox, and typhoid
immunizations are given. She
added that Dr. Mary B. H.
Michal, district health officer,
is in the Macon County health
office each Monday afternoon
from 1 to 4:30 o'clock.
The schedule of pre-school
clinics arranged to date follows:
Otto, at the school, today
(Thursday) at 10 a. m.; Union,

I'm not worth a damn, never ,

I feel free, for I'm making my 1

to an estimate by the U. S. De
partment of Commerce. This
compares with $1,154,000,000 in
1947; $706,000,000 in 1946 and
$342,000,000 in 1945. Highway

more than a billion' dollars in
1947; $890,000,000 in 1946, and
$922,000,000 in 1945.
From a recent survey of state
highway programs, the estimat
ed construction program for
1948 for 45 states is $1,090,000,
000 as compared to $830,000,000
in 1947. These figures include
state and federal highway con
struction State maintenance ex
penditures for 45 states are esti
mated at $366,000,000 tor i948
or compared to $341,000,000 in
1947.
Mileage to be let to contact
in 1948 is estimated at 24,500
and with work carried over from
1947 will total 40,689 miles. Of
this total, 3,397 mile will be
concrete pavement, 22,275 miles
will be bituminous mixes and
treated types, and 15,017 mues
will be other types
Recent figures by Public
Roads administration place total
highway construction- expendi
tures for 1947 at $1,248,000,000,
