Cabinet Maker Mak
es Novel Table From
One Hundred Woods
(Continued from pace 1)
When asked what his next venture
would be, he remarked that if the
lable was sold he would start anoth
rr larger and more elaborate. If it
did not sell, he would continue to re
pair furniture and make up special
orders for his customers.
One of his first creations in wood,
was a wooden bicycle. Back in 1901,
he built this bicycle, which was with
out pedals or chain, but would coast
fjown hill for long distances. It
was on this wheel that the boys of
the neighborhood learned to ride, and
when the time came when they could
own a real bicycle, all of them could
ride.
In 1908 Mr. Miller made a Jesse
James show of wooden toys and ex
hibited them at the Haywood County
Fair. Many people often speak of
this unique piece of work to Mr.
Miller today.
Not so lone; afro he invented an
Automatic handsaw filing machine.
Not all of this mae'jine was made of
wood, however.
Later he added a double saw filing
set to his inventions, and also a saw
damp.
In 1925 he patented a toy, which
had a dog chasing a rabbit and a
hunter appearing -on the scene as the
rabbit disappeared in a hollow log.
The toy was operated by a mechan
ism run by a stout spring.
Three years ago, he decided he
would tackle clock-making. So after
looking into an ordinary clock he
found that there were fourteen es
sential wheels. He figured at least
half of them were useless, even
though the clock was made by a
large manufacturing company. Any
way, he proceeded, and when he
finished the job, he had a clock that
would keep perfect time, run 40
hours without winding, and it only
had seven wheels.
Mr. Miller not only possesses a gift
for making wooden and mechanical
things, but has an ear for music. Dur
ing his life he has made 18 guitars,
20 violins'. and . several harps. Anil
when time begins to drag on his
hands with these things, he turns to
guns, and assumes the role of an
expert gunsmith.
All his life has not been spent as
a cabinet-maker, lie has tried the
lumber business and other things,
but there is always something that
draws him back to Whittling, he ex
plains. He has no idea what he might start
on tomorrow, but he is sure of one
thing, there will be some whittling
to do, or he won't start. .
And so, for fifty-one years, he has
not only found contentment and en
joye whittling, but has made a good
living at it besides.

includes: Red amnion, dogwood, white
oak, privet, apple wood, swamp dog
wood, yellow amnion, Norway spruce,

Wage-Hour Chief

Co-operation of Industry and not

Elmer Andrews when he assumed
his new post as chief of the fed
eral branch regulating labor con
ditions. Andrews, appointed by
the president, also served under
him in the labor department in
New York state when Roosevelt
was governor.

The rebuilding of historic Calvary Episcopal church at F letcher N. C,
which was burned three years ago, will be virtually completed with the
$500 first prize of the Purol-Pep Drive Safely Crusade contest for June.
John F:. Schley (top right), Ashcville insurance man and fnior warden
at the church, who won the prize, is seen as he received the $..00 chetk
from Wiley L. Moore, of Atlanta, president of the Pure Oil Company of
the Carolinas. A few minutes later, Mr. Schley presented the check to
A. L. Montfort-Bebb, of Fletcher, chairman of the building committee of
the church, to be applied on the rebuilding of the church, which was
originally built in 1859. Calvary church is one of the most historic
churches in North Carolina. It was rebuilt at a cost of about $26,000.
Mr. Schley's contribution furnished $500 of the last $1,000 needed for
completion of the structure, which is seen in the lower picture as it
appears today.
