THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1935 Pace 8 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER Clydelews E ventsj SCHOOLS CLOSED The Clyde district 6chools closed Friday, February 14th, for one week, due to the severe weather conditions which have made roads impassable in many places. In some cases the road beds are gone; in other sections deep and slippery mud and rising waters have greatly affected travel. Because of these hindrances, the county su perintendent and board of education decided that school 6hould be suspend ed until these conditions are improved. Unless further bad weather inter venes, schools in the district, includ ing the high school, will open again Monday morning, February 24. P. T A. MEET POSTPONED The regular meeting of the Clyde Parent-Teacher association, which was scheduled for Thursday of this week, has been postponed until Thursday, February 27th. At this meeting the annual Founders' Day program will be observed. Clyde teachers will par ticipate in the program and a social hour will follow. All members are urged to attend this and other meet ings of the association, thereby be coming better informed with the school program. Mrs. Orville Hayneg i the local president and has been highly commended for her untiring efforts in keeping the unit progressive. TO PLAY POSTPONED GAMES All athletic activities on the school program have been postponed due to the closing of the school for the week. However, all basketball games on schedule will be played before the season closes. CONNATSER THANKED It has become known here that the teachers of Haywood county have ex pressed their appreciation to the pres. ident of the county association, S. E. Connatser, Clyde principal, for the intellectual, interesting, and appro priate programs that he has so well presented to the teacher-group at their regular county meetings. Mr. Connatser ha been very fortunate in obtaining some of the outstanding masters of education in Western North Carolina to speak on these occasions, making the meetings of great significance to the teachers who are keeping pace with the changing curriculium in this age of advance ment to a higher intellectual and spiritual education, Its smart to buy good shoes and keep them repaired. Ser VICE SHOE SHOP. ARBOR DAY PROGRAM PLANNED Arrangements are already under way for an Arbor Day program being sponsored by the local P. T. A mem bers, which i to be the basis of the April meeting. The district 4-H Club members will take part in the pro gram, having actual charge of the planting cf trees and shrubs on the high school playground. A large at tendance is expected for this pro gram. Miss Mary Davis is chairman of the playground committee.

NEW APARTMENTS BUILT The Clifford Brown Apartment is the newest addition to Clyde's residen tial section. On the famous old Hay wood Institute property, which wan recently purchased by Mr. Brown, a modern brick structure has been built consisting of two flats. The William Haliburton's, of Canton, occupy flat number 1; the Gerald Fishes' fiat number 2 Mr. Brown, it is understood, will build one other apartment house of two flats, or a brick bungalow, on the rest of the property; construction to begin when the weather moderates. We feel sure that if Mr. Brown con tinues his building program that Clyde will come into her own, aB all we need for a larger population is houses for the new-comers.

''Gitten better, Unkle Abe' sed "Ripsaw."

Clyde 4-H Club Members Hear 3 County Speakers (By James Walker.) "Opportunities Ahead for Rural Youth," was the topic for Clyde 4-H Club at the February meeting held1 at the high school last week. The club members took an active part in the program by singing, joining in the 4-H club pledge and the pledge to the flag. Talks made by members: John Rogers on "Why Choose Farm ing" Fannie Davis on "Home Mak ing;" and James Walker on "A Fair Ieal to the Farmer," were of interest to the club. R. H Crouse, assistant county agent, made announcements and dis tributed project record books. S. R. Mitchiner, assistant county agent, made a talk on "Opportunities Ahead for Rural Youth." He urged the boys and girls to make the most of their opportunities. He stressed the im portance of conserving and the value of improving our soil, and illustrated this part of his talk with pictures. "Home Improvement" was discuss ed by Miss Smith, home demonstra tion agent. In her talk Miss Smith suggested to the club members things they could do to help improve their homes, inside and out. She stressed things which the club mem bers could carry out, such as clean ing the yard, putting out shrubbery, making repairs inside and outside of the house. She closed her talk with the definition of a home: "Home is something that belongs to the heart. It moans human companionship, shared love, joy, and sorrow; and where these are found, we find a homp. A home is found in a '-certain place, j among material things, but not of materials." Supreme Court Upholds TVA By 8 To 1 Decision (Continued from frnt page.) way division within the court on what is acknowledged to have been one of the most vital new deal issues to come before it four justices who be lieved the matter at issue was justi fiable and, on its merits, held with the Government; four judges who held that the plaintiffs did not even have standing in the court, but who concurred in the result reached by the other four; and finally, a single judge who held against the Government and the TVA yardstick. 1 Even the latter, Mr. Justice Mc Reynolde, in the third of the lengthy opinions given down, indicated that if the case cairried no implications further than the present occasion he would have taken the majority view. REYNOLDS STANDS ALONE In a heated statement given ver bally in court, however, he charged that the rant of authority to the Government might be used "to de stroy every public servu-e" organi zation in the country. In an apparent direct reference to the Roosevelt New Deal from the bench, he took the remarkable course of declaring that one need only "read the program which these people have laid out" to understand the potential dangers involved The Chief Justice began the long awaited decision at exactly 12:12 and continued steadily for one of the longest opinions in history, ending 50 minute later. Justices Brandeis and McReynolds did not attempt to read their individual opinions, but gave oral explanations of their views from the bench. You get SERVICE at the SERVICE SHOE SHOP.

MOUNTAIN JOE Last week, a preacher in Canada predicted that the world would come to an end on Saturday. When he saw he had made a mistake he said: "The Lord just chang ed His mind, as the plans were for the world to end on Saturday." Now that fellow just didn't know what he was talking about, that's all. But I do know what I am talking about when I say that you can save money on gro ceries, meats, feeds, clothing, shoes and hardware at Bur gin's. That's a fact and not guess-work.
