Winter Tried To
Shove Spring Off
Map Yesterday
When folks in this area took
to their beds on Tui-day night,
there was a distinct crispness
in the air. hut ecii so, by
daylight there might have he n
a touch of spring fur hreak
fast, so the blanket of snow
and the sudden drop in tem
perature came as a rude awak
ening on Wednesday nun ning.
After the slight snow the
temperature took a turn down
ward and reached eight above,
and in the process spread a
thin sheet of ice, which was
hard on both pedestrian and
motorist.
Pedestrians were seen walk
ing with care, but even then
were slipping about on tho
pavements, and the motorists
skidded back and for th all day
on the streets.
The major- casualty of the
day was a $75 damage to the
car of a local man which came
from skidding .jrito.a truck,,
with neither driver, to blame.
With plans of gardening up.
peririost in the minds of everyr
one, the encroaching of Winter
on Spring's Time, came as a
shock, but "when Winter
comes, Spring cannot be far

Corporation, a REA unit, purchased
the properties of the Hominy Power
& Light Company in the area of
Candler last week, and assumed
control on March first, it was an
nounced this week by Chas. B.
McCrary, president of the Cruso
( orporation.
Tin purcnase was made from the
stockholders for $15,000, Mr. Mc
l rary stated. There are 217 cus
tomers now being served by the
lines, and approximately that many
more can be add.d by little ex
tension of lines alter the duration,
the KEA executive pointed out.
The property consists of about
24 miles of luiis, and the end of
the Hominy lines cuine within two
miles of the Cruso lines at East
Fork. Plans are to tie-in when
materials are available, and have
the one unit. The Hominy line
were built in lo:!!!.
Power for the REA lines and
the llominy lines is purchased
from the Carolina Power and
Light Company. No changes are
contemplated in this r-spect.
KEA will maintain service on
the lines, and just as soon as vital
materials are available, plan to
rebuild tho Hominy system. "At
present all we can do is to renffY'
service," Mr. McCrary said.

customers will remain in Wuynes

This revised policy has been
made necessary, it was pointed out,
because present regulations pro
vide that no status which was ac
quired on or after December 8.
1941, may be considered when de
ciding questions of dependency.
The fact that a registrant is a
parent shall not he considered in
determining the class in which he
should be placed unless the child
was conceived prior to December
8, 1941. This ruling applies to all
cases, regardless of the date of the
marriage, and is to be applied both
in considering the classification ol
a registrant and in determining
his category.

the action, to create within the de

of mining operations in the state
and that now there are more than
four hundred new mining opera
tions started within the state since
the program of war production
began.
It also sets forth that the ex
pansion of war production in the
United States had disclosed a na

to the extent that the agencies of
the Federal Government have in
dicated keen interest in such de
velopments. The bill would provide the estab

be accessible to the principal min

with staff and facililhs capable of

got under way on Monday morning
when a large group of volunteer
workers began soliciting contribu

as soon thereafter as possible.
Early reports indicate that the
workers are being gladly received
and that the general public is con
Iributing generously.
On Saturday of this week booths
will be set up in strategic locations
both in Waynesville and Hazel
wood by Mrs. E. C. Wagenfeld and
a group of Girl Scouts. These girls
will receive contributions from
people who may have been missed
by the other workers.
A report of the contributions at
this time was not available, al

Many families spent all their

would not give future buying of
food requiring points any more

housewife said: "All my rationed
canned goods is now on my pantry

if I did not have it here."
A woman in Hazelwood convert

Dried and dehydrated soups carry
