Republican Meeting Called A meeting of the Haywood County Republican Executive Com mittee has been called to meet in Canton at the office of Horace Sen telle, chairman, on Friday evening at 7:30. . There are a number of import ant matters to attend to before the November election Saturday Is Last Day To Register Local Attorney Appointed On State Board Of Elections J. R. Morgan, well known local attorney, was appointed a member of the state board of election by Governor J. M. Broughton. The announcement of the appointment was made yesterday. Mr. Morgan will fill the vacancy on the board made by the resig nation of Charles Z. Flack, of Forest City, who resigned to be come secretary to Congressman A. L. Bulwinkle. Withers Is Named Director Citizens Service Corps E. L. Withers has been appoint ed director of the citizens service corps, of the civilian defense, it has been announced this week. The purpose of the citizens ser vice corps is for the coordination of all war efforts. Mr. Withers attended a meeting in Asheville this week where Frank Bryan, of the regional office in At lanta, outlined the duties of tho group. Others attending the meet ing were G. C. Ferguson and Bill Prevost. ' Next Saturday, October 24, is the last day on which voters can tion Everyone is urged to see are willing to follow them. that his name is on the books in order to participate in the elec tion this fall. , , Registrars will be at each of the polling places in the various dis tricts, and urge every voter to see that he is properly registered. Thanks . . . The Mountaineer has received many compliments on the extra edition which was published Tues day morning for the scrap drive Wednesday. The paper went to all subscribers in time to carry the news of the drive for every pound of available scrap. ; - . While this issue is somewhat smaller than usual, .doJhra the total number of pages forthe week to twenty, which is above the average. ;;. ; E D I TOR IAL Haywood Does A Good Job "It was democracy at its best in action," said Richard W. Slocum, chairman of the Newspapers' United Metal Scrap Drive, in praising the eff orts of the people of the nation in the scrap campaign. : The foregoing was demonstrated in stirring and dra matic action in Haywood Connty and the Waynesville com munity ort Wednesday, the official scrap day, designated by Howard H. Clapp, county chairman, and sponsored locally by the Waynesville Rotary Club. The amount of scrap collected in one day, also shows the results of the united efforts of a community and a county. Wednesday proved beyond any doubt that Haywood County has gone out to do all in the power of its citizens to win this war. We have leaders of ability and the people Enthusiasm and work in the Campaign was not confined to one group, or organization nor did it have any age limita tions. The young and the old worked side by side in their patriotic efforts to keep the great steel mills of this nation rolling so that the boys on the battle fronts may be supplied with warring implements. ' While the "battle is not won," a day like Wednesday stirs the patriotic fervor of the people who took part, and inspires them with the ultimate thought of victory. Hitler cannot beat a country where the civilians can work as they worked in Haywood on Wednesday. Last, but by no means least, the Haywood County men in the service, whether they be in camps in this country, or whether they be on duty on the high seas, or on some foreign soil, should feel deeply touched and know that they have behind them the complete cooperation of every man, woman and child in their native county back home. Fuel Oil Dealers' Registration Is Postponed To 27, 28 The local rationing board has been advised by C. A. Lunsford state fuel oil rationing officer, that due to the delay in getting out the necessary forms and instructions, the registrations for fuel oil deal ers has been postponed until Oc tober 27 and 28, and that the con sumer registration will be at later date, not yet announced. On October 27 and 28, all deal ers in fuel oil, including kerosene. who do business in Haywood dis trict No. 1 must appear at the of fice of the rationing board in the Court house in Waynesville and register. They will be required to specify their storage capacities and their inventories as of October 1. Haywood rationing district No. 1 includes the townships of Way nesville, Ivy Hill, Jonathan Creek, Crabtree, Iron Duff, Fines Creek, Cataloochee and White Oak. James A. Gwyn is chairman of the advisory panel for the district, with Ben Sloan and Rufus Siler as committee members. In a 21-day campaign, Haywood County collected 2, 167,659 pounds of scrap, according to Howard Clapp, county chairman, yesterday, after he had consulted with leaders in every section of the county after the whirl-wind drive of Wednesday had added a million pounds to the scrap heaps. The cooperation of all citizens was beyond anything ever to take place in Haywood. Final figures will not be available until the last or we month, he said, but it now looks like Haywood averaged it pounds per person in the drive for scrap to help build war machines. . Trucks were busy yesterday hauling the piles of scrap to junk yards, and clearing school yards. WPA trucks were hauling the two piles from Clyde. Already 140.000 pounds had been hauled from tne ftign school yard, and it is estimated that 85,000 pounds will be cleared during the next few days. Several other large boilers are being cut up and will be brought in this week-end to be added to the total tonnage. Ud on Allen's Creek, a man took I the motor from his car and car ried it to a garage to get new bear, ings. ' Sera p-huntng boy saw the motorless car, and carried It to a scrap heap. The owner heard of the incident, and called in the boys and gave them the motor to add to the cause. v,.' The high school boys did a noble Diecg of .-work. They were after enough scrap to get boxing gloves. The gloves have been ordered. A. C. Lawrence Company added 48,390 pounds to the total. Unagusta Manufacturing Com pany sent in 140,000 pounds. Ben Sloan got seven trtck toads from-th old Sulphor Springs, hotel property. i . , High school boys got a furnace and other scrap weighing more than a ton from the basement of the old Royal Ice Cream Parlor, It was donated by Mrs. M. H. Reeves. Dayton Rubber plant did their part in the scrapping Wednesday for the company turned in 4,800 pounds of steel; 3,120 pounds of cast iron; and 740 pounds of tin, making a total of 8,000 pounds to their credit. Scott Reeves gave the high school three old cars. The boys getting them saw some springs on the side of the garage, and threw them in the truck and hauled them away. Although the springs cost $21, Mr. Reeves said "let 'em stay where they are. Wish I had more to give. Hope the bullets that get's Hitler and Musso are made from them springs." Rev. A. R. Morgan To Deliver Sermon At Grace Church Rev. A. Rufus Morgan, of Franklin, a well known rector both of North and South Carolina, who is now located in Franklin, will hold the regular Sunday morning services at Grace Epis copar church On Sunday, the 24th. No one as yet has been named to fill the vacancy at Grace church since the resignation of Rev. R. E. McBlain, who recently accepted a call from St. Mary's Episcopal church in Jacksonville, Fla. Rev, Morgan formerly resided here and attended the local high school from which he Was graduat ed with honors. Lt. Fannie Reynolds Guest Of Mrs. Chas. E. Quinlan Lt. Fannie Johnson Reynolds, who has recently completed her training at the Candidate Officers' school of the WAACs in Des Moines, Iowa, was the guest this week of Mrs. Chas. E. Quinlan at Prospect Hill. ' Mr; Mintz, a 79-year-old Hazel wood man, gave over 1,000 pounds to the Hazelwood school, and then got out and hunted for more. If the scrap collections from the business firms on Main street had not moved into action under their drivers, and the volunteer help in loading, the Town of Waynesville would have resembled a junk heap on Wednesday. During the morning when the scrap was moving at a rapid pace, Mrs. Hugh Jolly came out of her In The Army 1 ' '"' t ' ; : - X-' . r... S LT.

Moody, who served in the Spanish-American War, and was afterward Congressman from this district, had captured. "I am giving this in hopes that it will at least get one Jap for my nephew, Captain Hoyt Jolly, who is serving with General Mac At-. thur in Australia, has been decor ated twice for his bravery. I am also giving it for my nephews, James Clayton Carey and Fred Moody Carey, both students at Amherst College, Mass., and both in the Naval Reserve," she contiW ued as she handed over the reus ' of the Spanish-American War. The box of old instruments do nated by J. Rufus McCracken drew a crowd as they were turned in on the scrap heap going off of Main street. Among the articles was a torteous looking object that h said was used forty years ago for cutting out tonsils. Mrs. J. Howell Way also donated some of the in struments of her husband, the late Dr. Way. Mrs. Noble Ferguson contributed the instruments of her father, Dr. Orr. At one time there were no less than fifteen of the trucks plying their routes through at the same time. They made an impressive scrap parade, with junk of every description pilled high. School boys were joyously riding where they could find a place to hold, happy in their contrbution to the campain. The old stove pile in front of Belk's store started a round of reminising among the men about town. They recognized the old de lapidated object as one that had been in the store of the late Clyde H. Ray, former owner of the build ing now occupied by Belk's. One of the old timers said he bet there had been more lies told around that old stove than any heating plant in the county, for he recalled how popular Mr. Ray's store was back forty years ago when business was not so lively as it is now on Main street, and the folks had time to be sociable. Clarke Medford drove a truck all day with his daughter, Mary Medford as helper in loading. Mary had dressed for the part with her overall suit and her gauntlet gloves. and she demonstrated that she could lift that scrap about as well as any man. They hauled around 10 loads that Mr. Medford figured an average of 1,200 pounds. The Waynesville Chamber of Commerce under the direction of Miss Nanette Jones, turned in around 4,200 pounds of scrap. The collection had a lot of interesting old articles. ... There was the old bronze seal of the Bank of Way nesville, first banking institution west of Asheville. There was a bronze plate of the Citizens Bank. There was the boiler in the building: that had sprug a leak sometime back, and had been a useless decoration in the basement, but proved to have a lot of value as a scrap contribu tion. . Nh e first talking motion picture machine in town was piled in front of the Park Theatre, having Berved its day. and was part of the do nation of its owner, J. E. Massie, who had bought it back in 1929. It represented at the time of its pur chase an investment of several thousand dollars, but it had seen its day and had served its purpose - (Conuaned en page 8)
