Sylva Lions Pass Bond Drive Quota With Fine Record Self- Assessed Minimum Of $200 Each Is Exceeded; Tuttle Is Quest Speaker. Members of the Sylva Lions Club, which met last Wednesday in, Alli son Education building, are receiv ing hearty congratulations for ex ceeding their self-assigned quota in the third War Bond drive. At the previous gathering they has obligated themselves to buy or sell war bonds to the extent of $200 per member, a total of $8,800.00. When reports were all in, the sum had soared to $15,025. Another high mark was set last Wednesday, when the attendance which had been a matter of special effort, was recorded with only two members absent; The club num bers 44 and 42 were present ? over 95 percent. Rev. R. G. Tuttle, pastor of Sylva Methodist church, was guest speak er and his subject was "Being a real person." Mr. Tuttle began by telling how an American army aviator was caught in a nose-dive. With the engine dead, he hung between sky and earth, expecting to plunge to instant death. Saved by cool-head edness and by doing almost the impossible in achieving safe land ing, heftleclared that, "it is in your act you exist; 'your body belongs to you ? it is not you." The minister said that to "be a real person," we must co-ordinate Qur impulses, hringing body, mind, spirit into their proper relation ship. Alibis are out, he declared, citing Lou Kehrig, the great ball player, and Glenn Cunningham, world champion runner, who sur mounted even physical lameness to gain world renown. In closing, he quoted: "Some men are like weather-vanes, indicating the way the wind blows; others are like mountains, determining the way the wind must blow." Charles Guy Reed, secretary of the Lions Club, announced election of two new members, Claude Jones and J. H. Deitz, both of Sylva. Mr. Reed said that future meet ings will begin at 7:30 p. m. in stead of 8, as heretofore.

C. Help For Stuttering Child By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS. Pk.D MANY CHILDREN under six stutter some and they can easily become stutterers fur a lifetime, if not treated wisely at home. Naturally the parent? think of the mechanics of stuttering rather than of the whole child and his emotions. Accordingly, they in cline to interrupt him as he stut ters, telling him to speak slowly or repeat after them. Judging from a number of let ters I read, an occasional family doctor who has no appreciation of the emotional aspect of stuttering will also advise the mother to do some of the very things she should be cautioned not to do. Here is a sample: "My five year old boy stutters. He has gone for a period of four weeks when he did not stutter at all, and then he started again. "I have consulted our doctor and he told me not to worry, but to correct him ~ach time. Curative Treatment The best means of cure, in case of the young child, is to discipline yourself so as not to seem to have any anxiety over his stuttering ? either by your speech, demeanor, gestures, or even your breathing; to build up your child's health, with the doctor's aid; provide him with an atmosphere of serenity and family affection and to read to him. While the speech expert may, by working directly on the pa tient, be able to help many older children of school age, they rare ly can do much to help the very young child. Indeeu, direct treat ment of him, such as by- mechani cal exercises, tends to make him worse, since it makes him more self-conscious of his stuttering without his being able to derive a plan for self-help. Since stut tering is primarily emotional, and the parents and other members of the family have most to do with the young child's emotions, these persona need to be worked on rather than the child. Indeed, suc cessful speech experts dealing with achool children have, in re cent years, been placing less em* phasia on direct work on the pa tient's speech and more on his teachers, parents, even his class mates, to make them more con siderate of him ?

Jamison is the pastor, its location being about three quarters of a mile from the busi ness district. In accounting for the fine record which his charge is making in the war effort and in other activities, Mr. Jamison ascribed the success to an impressive unity of purpose, with dissensions, cliques, and bick erings conspicuous by their absence. "Our building, which cost around $7,000, is paid for and already dedicated," he pointed out,- adding significantly that there has never been a "box supper," weiner roast, strawberry picnic, or anything else, employed to raise funds. "All our money was freely given, as straight contribution," he said. Beginning in 1918 as a mission of the First Baptist church of Sylva, the East Sylva congregation became an independent unit in 1921, its original roster having grow ?front- B6 ? to BOO.

Near Post Office New Farm Loan j Association Is j Given Charter ( Retired Members of Way nesville and Sylva Asso ciations To Receive $9,000. The charter for a new associa- 1 t ion covering Clay, Cherokee, Gra ham, Haywood, Jackson, Macon, and Swain Counties, and authorized to accept applications for farm loans from The Federal Land Hank of Columbia in this territory ha# just been announced. The Wayncsviile National Farm Loan Association has been chart ered by the Farm Credit Adminis tration effective October 1, 194:5, according to statement of D. Reeves Noland, Secretary-Treasurer. The new association was organized as a result of t}|j? consolidation of four farm loan associations which have maintained a joint office here for the past several years. Mr. Noland, who has been serving as secretary treasurer, of these associations, will continue in the same capacity for the new ? association. The new association was orga nized in order to effect a stronger organization and provide better credit service to farmers in this territory. The association is a co operative credit organization own ed and controlled entirely by its farmer-members. Its purpose is to obtain farm mortgage loans for farmers from The Federal Land Hank of Columbia at a low rate of interest and on terms suited to their needs. The association has an au thorized capital of $30,000 divid >d into six thousand shares, having a par value of $5.00* each. It has 230 loans outstanding aggregating more than $400,000. "The old Waynesville Association only served Haywood, , Macon and Swain counties, and jointly with the Sylva Association in - Jackson" county. The new association has taken over the assets and liabilities of the four national farm loan associations and all retired mem bers who have paid their loans in full to the Federal Land Bank of Columbia will receive cash for the par value of their stock in the asso ciations/' Mr. Noland stated. "Und er this arrangement, retired mem bers of the old Waynesville and Svlva Associations will receive ap proximately $9,000. This reorgani zation was njade possible through the cooperation of the officers and directors of the old Waynesville and Sylva Associations, and the officers and directors of the two other associations which were con solidated. The new association is ' closely affiliated with the Columbia Land Hank so that more efficient credit service can be rendered -to farmers in this section at less cost. The association has been designat- ? ed as issuing agent for Series E War Savings Bonds, and I hope farmers will make some of their | bond purchases through their own credit organization," Mr. Xoland I continued. Directors of the new association | are: Jarvis H. Allison, president,! Waynesville; Glen A. Boyd, vice president, Waynesville; A. Howell, ; Waynesville; J. E. Cabe, Otto; and | H. H. Rogers, Shooting Creek. 4-H Clubs Assist In War Bond Sale Thirteen communities in Jack son county,- during the past week, have held their 4-H club meetings with a total attendance of 375. The programs were presented by the members themselves and these stressed the importance of club members buying stamps and bonds. The Glenville club members had a goal of $2,775 in stamps and bonds. Every club member has bought stamps and eight have pur chased bonds. Approximately $3,000 in bonds were sold by the Savannah club, one club member alone selling $2,000 worth. < M earnest Man "I have found the meanest man at last." "Why, what did he do?"
