Apples Slightly Damaged Here By 2 Heavy Frosts The heavy frost, and low temperatures over the week end apparently did not dam age the apple trees of late varieties. Some of the earlier varieties were damaged, and plums in most sections were killed and pears injured. The larger orchards, with almost all later variety trees, did not suffer much damage, as far as could be ascertained. County Agent Howard Clapp said, he had checked trees in several sections of the county, and found the dam age "very slight," as far as outward appearances now show. : ' The heavy frost and freeze over the week-end played havoc with the early gardens in the county, it was learned from several sources. Even the hardy radishes were reported nipped in cer tain areas, the damage being greatest in exposed places. A number of gardeners have reported damaged crops of early peas. Virginia Kellett Extended Bids In Two Fraternities Miss Virginia Kellett. daughter of Mrs. J. M.

State Guard To Give A Public Demonstration In Cooperation With Band, Plan To Give Military Ex, hibition At Stadium. The local company of the N. C, State Guard is planning a drill ex hibition at the high school within the next two weeks in order to get funds to buy some much need ed equipment. Plans are to have the Waynesville township band to give a concert together with the guard's maneuvers. - - - A small admission charge will be made at the gate and tickets will be sold prior to the entertainment. The local company has been limp ing along with the bare necessi ties for over a year, and it is ex pected that the citizens of this community will co-operate with this movement so that the guard can get blankets and other equipment. Captain W. A. Bradley said that if any one has any kitchen equip ment that they are not using and would like to donate to the local company, the mess sergeant A. P Ledbetter will be more than glad to receive it at Massie Furniture Company. This includes pots, pans, knives, etc. The company felt that the state would be able to provide this equipment, but since the outbreak of hostilities plans were changed. The local company has been classed as one of the "crack out fits' in the state, and they are anxious to become fully equipped so as to get advanced training in the field. Church Attendance Expected To Show Gains For Next 2 Sundays The anticipated after-Easter slum hit the churches Sunday, but the record columns did not slide as far downward as some had ex pected. I , With only two more Sundays left in the 9-week go-to-church campaign, laymen and pastors felt the next two weeks would bring about good results. . Some of the churches were this week comoiline lists of members who had not attended during the past seven Sundays and planned to stage a far-reaching visitation campaign. Sunday morning, the pastors of the narticiDatinsr churches will use as their sermon subjects, "The Breath of Life." The evening subjects will be: "Ye Are My Friends."

In one day, Deputy John Ker ley and Bob Jenkins captured two stills, both in the Maggie section of the county. One was a 100-gal- lon unit and the other a 45-gallon outfit. Both stills were deserted at .he time, with a lone sheperd standing guard at the 45-gallon jutfit.

Wooden Tires Are Undergoing Rigid Tests On Roads The wooden automobile tires which were recently patented by C. M. Dicus, were being: put through hard road tests this week. "Until the tests are completed, we will not be in a position to know just what the product can or will do," the inventor told The Mountaineer yesterday. Mr. Dicus had a group of local business men out at his plunt last night, to get first hand informa tion, and to see the results of the road tests. Two of the tires were driven more than 80 miles Tuesday in the first lap of the rigid tests. The car was driven more than 50 miles an hour at times. The base of the tires are made of wedge-shaped blocks of wood, held tight around the rim by a steel cable. A tread of hard wood caps the blocks.

Campaign Here In recognition of the fine work Charles Ray did m staging the first U. S. O. drive here some months ago, he has been re-appoint ed by Governor Broughton to serve again in that capacity for the drive which opens on May 11. This county went over the top in getting the quota as set out by the state. George Ivey, of Char lotte, is state chairman. . V. is for victory. So are cuffless trousers. None other than Uncle Sam has said so, and he made a law to prove it. So men, from now until after the war, when you buy a pair of wool trousers, you'll wear 'em straight bottom, and no turn ups. Oh, no, mister, you can't take 'em home to your wife and get her to fix them just because the pressing club won't. That is also against the law. And surely you don't want your wife to get in trouble just for making your pants old-fashioned. You see, mister, cuffs on pants belongs to that age away back yonder. It is not a new style. Its just an idea. Just an idea some fellow, or perhaps it was a woman, i County Sanitarian Resigns Position; Goes To Iredell R, E. Verble, sanitarian of Hay wood county, has accented a simi lar position in Iredell county, it was learned from Dr. C. N. Sisk, head of the district health de partment of which this county is a part. Mr. Verble came here last June, and succeeded George A. Kunze, who resigned to accept a position in Leaksville. Mr. Verble will be located in Statesville. He left town on Fri day for a few days vacation prior to assuming his new duties in Ire dell. His successor, who will be named make 300,000 more suits, and in jointly by Dr. C. N. Sisk and the order that there be no misunder- state board of health, has not been thought up many years ago. and what good are .cuffs on trousers, anyway? They collect dirt, and when you take 'em off at night it spills on the wife's polished floor, and then there's a domestic war on. Cuffs were never any good, and now the material goes into cuffs to standing, Uncle Sam made the law, which is as plain as the bot tom of your pants, if youVe just bought 'em. The laws reads: "No person shall finish a pair of trousers made of wool cloth with cuffs or cause such to be finished with cuffs for others for his account." There it is. So, gentlemen, from now on, we'll all take 'em straight apnounced. The Rev. and Mrs. A. F. Phibbs, Jr., and Mrs. A. F. Phibbs, of Leicester, were guests during the week of Mr. and Mrs. Milard Ferguson. David Howell left here Tuesday for a visit to Salem, N. J.
