Sheriff's deputies started look ing for him after worried relatives I reported he had been missing since I Wednesday. llr Pale said he was last seen early the next day. apparently on his way to a fishing spot at the lake. The coroner's examination show ed that Davis had been dead at least 48 hours.

Funeral The value added by manufacture of goods produced in manufactur ing establishments of Haywood county has increased by approxi mately $13,994,000 since before tne war, according to Information re ceived here from C. Parker Per sons, Regional Director of thu U. S. Department of Commerce.' A Census Hureau report from its 1947 Census of Manufactures shows. Mr. Persons said, that in 1939 the value added by manufac ture of uoods produced by manu- of llavwood county was $8,227,000 and that in 1947 it was $22,221,000. The term "value ad ded by manufacture" means the value of manufactured goods in ex cess of the cost of materials and supplies, the Commerce Depart ment official explained. Most branches of Haywood coun ty's manufacturing industries have grown correspondingly in the eight year period, it was stated. The number of employees engag ed in manufacturing operations has increased from 2.132 in 19JU to , 405 in 1947, and salaries and wag es paid from $2,369,491 to $13, 087.000. The Census Ilurcau report, cop ies of which are available at the United States Department of Com merce offices in Atlanta and Charl eston. S, C at 20 cents a copy, also reflects the rapid strides made by North Carolina industrially since before the war. For example, the value added by manufacture of goods produced in the State as a whole increased by more than a billion dollars since 1939. going from a valuation of $544,181,000 in that vear to $1,646,673,000 in 1947. Also. I he number of establishments engaged in l anufacturing opera tions has grown from 3,225 in 1939 to 5.322 in 1947, the number of employees from 294,314 to 381, 480. and salaries and wages paid from $246,834,206 to $758,895,000.

Col J. Harden Howell, the Way nesville postmaster, explained to day that new postal regulations say you can't sey "Merry Christmas" through the mail under anything smaller than a two-cent stamp. In brief, the postal people have lmuorpH thn hnom on the old 1 V2 cent sentiment. It takes a two-cent 1 stamp for unsealed envelopes. That also goes for the off-size postcards. The only kind of card you can send through the mail under a one cent stamp is the regulation size like those sold at the post offices. And if you want to send your greetings in those itty-bitty unseal ed envelopes, it'll cost you three cents postage. Specifically, that's what it takes for an envelope less than four inch es long and three inches wide.
