BLARNEY
By A Brmdj Called J. F.
Call this the dilemma of the
Smoky Mountain Cloggers, if you
will, for their situation certainly
fails into this category.
The young dancers, who brought
fame to Macon County two years
ago when appearing on the Ed
Sulliran show, have a once-ln-a
lifetime chance to go to Holly
wood, aad from there possibly on
to greater things.
Only one thing stands in their
way. Money. It'll take about $350
per child to put them on the West
Coast and in the office of several
movie studios and TV agents who
are interested in their talent.
This is not idle chit-chat. It's
fact. The young talent scout. Bob
Cox. who put the Cloggers on the
Sullivan show, has letters from
several of his West Coast contacts,
indicating an Interest in the dance
team for maybe a movie or one
shot appearances on TV shows
like Wagon Train. Have Oun-Will
Travel, and Cimarron City.
The problem is getting the
Cloggers to the coast just as soon
as school is out.
Not one to mince words, and
yet one who has shown he knows
what he's talking about and can
come up with the answers. Mr.
Cox says he's convinced he could
"sell" the Cloggers to Hollywood
if he could got them there.
Personally, I believe him, be
cause I have as much faith in the
young dancers as he has. In ad
dition, I've got a lot of faith in
Bob Cox's ability.
But, there's that Big IF staring
us in the face; IF we could raise
the $350 per Clogger to get them

SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS REVEALED
Misses Anne Hall and Mildred Bingham have been .an
nounced as the winners ot scholarships offered by the Elizabeth
T. Kelly chapter of Future Teachers of America. The Franklin
High chapter earned the $175 for the scholarships over the past
two years. Miss Hall receives $100 and Miss Bingham $75. Both
are members of the chapter and plan to go into teaching
careers.
to the coast, the publicity that
Macon County would get from
their adventure would be fabulous.
IP only we could raise the
money? that's the dilemma of the
Smoky Mountain doggers.
? jpb ?
Without exception, Franklin's
"retired" operators thought I was
taking a pot-shot at them in my
recent column. In whidh I hailed
(yea verily, rejoiced) the coming
of the dial system.
Furthermore, several said that
I, by Innuendo, left the impression
that they had not been doing a
good job. Down girls! I meant
nothing of the sort. I've always
thought the Franklin operators
were the most efficient I've en
countered ? and I've said so many
times. Moreover, I used to enjoy
those little personal conversations
I held with you girls. The dial
system isn't very good at this;
about all I get is the busy signal!
In other words, we miss you,
dear operators, all 19 of you ?
even if you did call me all night
when the dial system came in!
And I really missed you one
day last week when I got a busy
signal for three solid hours trying
to place a long distance call.
Finally, when my dial finger was
on the point of bleeding tender
ness, a voice came through. My
first question was "Why don't
you put on more operators over
there. I've been twirling this in
strument for three hours."
And a sweet, patient voice
answered back; "We need more
circuits, sir, not more operators."
Such is progress.
?jpb ?
Was over at the high school
one day last week to take a picture
of Don Ledford and Jackie Ann
Cabe, winners of the Mrs. Hattie
Waldroop scholarships.
Always a quick one with a quip,
Jackie Ann stepped up and sug
gested. "Don't take a good picture.
When this geometry test I'm tak
ing now is graded I won't even
be in the running for this thing."
? Jpb ?
For a high school of its size.
Franklin High certainly turns out
some exceptionally good products.
Many of them go on to college
and more often than not are out
standing college students.
Take, for example. Tommy
Gnuse and Norman Smith. Tom
my. a Duke student, has just been
awarded an R.O.T.C. award in
engineering ? an award made on a
national level, not a local one.
Norman has distinguished him
self on the campus at U.N.C. in a
variety of ways,! from running for
student body president to making
Phi Beta Kappa in his junior
year, a feat that warrants a
couple of cheers from the gallery.
I personally know both; that's
why I single them out. But. the
fact remains that Macon County
students aire always making names
for themselves in all fields, which
proves to me that the teachers are
doing an excellent job of . prepar
ing those going on to college.

Back Again
Franklin's well. Big Betsy", is
back at work again after a
major overhaul.
She's putting out between 80
and 90 gallons per minute, a
capacity that lets her keep her
title as the town's top produc
ing well.
Plagued by "red water", the
well was shut down several weeks
ago and the Virginia Supply and
Well Company recased the shaft,
the shaft. The well was cut
back into the town system
Tuesday morning of last week.
Prelo J. Dryman, chairman of
the water committee, reports
the well appears to be giving
pure water once again.

Independent experts and official facts and figures prove Chevrolet's ahead of its
field in seven big ways.
BEST BRAKES . In direct com

why not: Chevy brakes are far larger,
built with bonded linings for up to
66",' longer life. BEST TRADE-IN
. Check the figures in any N.A.D.A.f
Guide Book. You'll find that Chevy
used car prices last year averaged up to

Chevy establishes a new high in daring
styling . . It's the only car of the
leading low-priced three that's un
mistakably modern in every line.
BEST ECONOMY ... No doubt
about this: two Chevrolet Sixes won
their class in the famous Mobilgas
Economy Run, got the best mileage of
any full-size car. BEST ROOM
Official dimensions reported to A.M.A.t
