Norman Gets 320 Bushels Potatoes Off Of 11-4 Acres When it comes to growing Irish potatoes, Derry Norman, of -.Aliens Creek, seems to have the right for mula. Last spring Mr. Norman planted 15 bushels of Green Mountains, on an acre and a quarter. Under the seed he put 2,300 pounds of 6-7-5 fertilizer. He worked the crop three or four times, and this fall gathered 320 bushels. Of the total crop, 233 bushels were No. 1 potatoes of an excel lent quality. Mr. Norman believe that is as good a yield as he has heard report- ea. Records Being Broken By Heavy Mails Her e Postmaster Howell Urges Early Christmas Mailing This Year As Manpower Is Short. "During the more than eight years I have been postmaster here I have never known as many let ters and pieces of mail going through the post office," said Col onel J. Harden Howell, Waynes- ville postmaster, in discussing the importance of early Christmas shopping and mailing of packages. Post office receipts are steadily on tne increase nere as in au parts of the country. The total local receipts of October, 1941, were $2,793.20 and in October, 1942, they reached $3,136.59, ac cording to Col. Howell. In November of 1941 the totals reached $2,278.00, and in the first two weeks of the month of No vember of this year they have al ready exceeded the total of the en tire month of last year, having been $2,380.00 on the 15th. With the exception of the month of September of this year the to tals every month have been greater than those of last year, according to Colonel Howell. In view of this tremendous in crease the post office officials are asking that the bulk of Christmas mail be in the post office by De cember 1, so that deliveries may be assured. There are a number of reasons for the need for shopping and mailing early this year. The rail roads and airlines are burdened with vitally important war mater ials. There is a shortage of man- (Conthiaed om page I) Mountaineer Day Earlier Next Week Following a custom of many years, The Moun taineer will be published next Tuesday instead of Wed nesday, because of Thanksgiving, i All Copy, both news and advertising, should be in the office not later than noon Tuesday for that edi tion. The papers will be in the maQ early Wednesday morning, and carrier boys will make delivery on Wed nesday, instead of Thursday. "It is of vital importance that the rural women produce their own food at home and they will have to work harder than they ever have before," said Howard Clapp, county farm agent in addressing the Hay wood home demonstration club members at their annual Achieve ment Day yesterday at the First Methodist church when he spoke on the -victory gardens of 1943. "In the past few months I have seen women working in the fields in the county who have never been there before. We are going to have to produce more food, with less labor, fewer supplies and equip ment," he continued. The meeting opened at 11 o'clock with the invocation by the Rev. J. Clay Madison, pastor of the Meth odist church. Eleven out of the 19 clubs in the county with 660 mem bers were represented at the meet inp. Mrs. L. J. Cannon, of the Morn inv Star club, president of the county council, presided. The Fines Creek club won the attendance prize and will be allow ed to retain for another year the gavel they won last year for the same recognition. During the morning session the following members modeled clothes that had been made over: Mrs. John McClure, Mrs. Claude Francis, Mrs. Wilbur Whitted, Mrs. W. C. Moody, Mrs. Frank Williams, Mrs. I. A. McLain, Mrs. Ed Jaynes, Mrs. Ful- bright, and Mrs. W. L. Ammons. Attracting considerable atten tion were the latter two models. Mrs. Fulbright modeled a knitted suit of 'natural wool. She had raised the sheep, washed, carded and spun the wool on a spinning wneel used 175 year ago. Mrs. Am mons wore a dress made from three remnants at a cost of $2.00.

Car Owners Urged To Turn In Tires Nov. 22, Last Day The local rationing board is urg ing that all car owners register their tires as quickly as possible. They are emphasizing the fact that it will be illegal to operate a car after November 22nd, with more than five tires in their possession. The tires are to be turned in at the Southern Railway. A last minute rush to turn in these tires must be avoided, since the railway express will be physically unable to handle such a overload, it was pointed out by the board. Collection of excess tires under the idle tire-purchase plan has been lagging in the community, ac cording to the board and they are anxious to have all tires registered on time. The success of the mileage ra tioning program, which is of vital necessity at this time, will depend on the following items: the return of idle tires immediately; prompt registering of remaining tires with local board : proper inspection of car and tires; and the forming of the habit of never exceeding the 36 miles per hour in travel. In order for the board to get the tire inspection record in the hands of the applicant before De cemmer 12th, it is necessary for the car owners to register their cars as soon as passible. It will be illegal to operate a car after December 12th, without a tire in spection record in the possession of the owner.: Central Elementary Comes Second and East Waynes ville Takes Third Place. The Maggie school, with its 153 energetic students and capable teachers, under the direction of N. W.
