a total of $4,000 and involve only
minor maintenance expenses. The
expert will be brought over here
soon to explain the proposition in
more detail to both the Waynes
; ville and county boards.
I Alderman Gaddy reported that
several folks have complained
about the practice of taxis pulling
from their parking lots onto side
walks, interfering with pedestrians.
The cab drivers stated that the lo
cation of their lots caused this.
and claimed that many of them did i
not have areas large enough, or
back entrances, to leave their lots
on back streets. No definite action
was taken by the board, although
Mr. Gaddy indicated the problem
would be given further study.
Thursday afternoon, when the
board was considering some addi
tions to the privilege tax list, it
was voted to require licenses of
building supply dealers, antique
shops, ice plants, machine shops
and others who had not been listed.
D. N. Howell, collector of the
privilege taxes, told that he already
had taken in more than $1,700 for
the new taxes, and saw no reason
why the list which has had sev
eral revisions from last year
should be published in The Moun
taineer. The state law, explained
the town attorney, requires that
the list be either published in a
local newspaper or posted at the
Town Hall.
To date the list has not been
completed, or published in either
manner. Still to be decided by
the new board is the matter of a
license for auction sales, repre
sentatives of interested firms were
expected to present both sides of
a proposal to eliminate jewelry
auctions, but had asked that the
hearing be postponed.
when discussing the mosquito
control program, which Mr. Liv
ingstone stated had been agreed
to by the old board early this year
on condition that Hazelwood
would help sponsor It, testimony
was presented by Miss S. A. Jones,
Chamber of Commerce secretary,
and Charles Ray, that many per
sons are being annoyed by the in
sects and they are "getting worse
and worse each year." Mr. Ray
added that "I think it is a bad mis
take, from a business point of view,
to let the mosquitoes get estab
lished in our community," and
urged that the health department
program be given the necessary
backing.
Although not discussed formally,
Alderman Gaddy reported that cit
izens in the Dell wood road and
East Waynesvllle sections have
asked to receive water and sewage
lines from the town. He advised
them to get a petition of 15 per
cent of the residents in each area
to request the extension of town
limits, and formal action could be
taken in that direction.
Sgt. Williams Is
Given Posthumous
Purple Heart
The Purple Heart has been
awarded posthumously to Sgt.
Frank R. Williams, Jr., Air Corps,
late son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank R.
Williams of Waynesville, who gave
his life in defense of his country
during World War II.
Sgt. Williams also received the
Air Medal "for meritorious achieve
ment while participating in heavy
bombardment missions in the air
offensive against the enemy over
continental Europe. The courage,
coolness and skill displayed upon
these occasions reflect great credit
upon Sergeant Williams and the
Armed Forces of the United
States."

can and E. A. M. E. theater rib

Here This Summer
A school of the theater will be
conducted here for seven weeks,
starting July 5, in conjunction with
the Theater in the Sky.
Maurice Geoffrey, who has been

son at Tampa this winter, will re
turn here to take charge of the

school staff are Electra Ballou, in
structor of diction, speech and
voice; Grace Shiner, teacher of

department; and Elma Ilene Geof

as folklore of the mountain, wild
flowers, hiking, birds, hunting and
fishing and a talk on the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park,
giving the children a store of in
formation about their own section.
The purpose of the reading club
is to help the boys and girls to de
velop good reading habits and to
introduce them to the county li
brary and its facilities. Along with
their reading this year it is the
desire of the librarian to intro
duce them to the wonders of na
ture in their own county and sec
tion. Last year they learned of the
Cherokee Indians along with their
summer reading.
There are 72 mountain peaks in
Haywood county above 5,000 feet
and as the boys and girls read they
will be taught their names and lo
cations.
A letter will be sent to the par
ents of all the children who join
asking their cooperation in mak
ing the reading club really benefit
each child. There will be no oral
reports, instead the children will
turn in cards with the signature of
their parents for each book read.
Boys and girls who are going to
camps or on vacations or those Hy
ing in the rural areas may be mem
bers under this new plan. Reading
cards may be turned in at any time
or held and turned in all at once.
Reading certificates will be pre
sented to those who read 10 books
according to the requirements.
