GEO RGB BORING (Mountaineer Correspondent) Several weeks ago, writ'.en invi tations were sent te all Community Development officers, dii-eetors, and committees, asking them to have supper with the farm and home agents on Monday at 7:30 o'clock at the 4-H Club Camp near the Test Farm. The letters read in part, "We ate with you folks twenty-three times last summer; now It is your turn to try out our vittles. "If you dont come and have sup per with us we will be fighting mad." Twenty-three guests accepted this kind invitation, and began gathering around the cheerful fire in the hugh stone fireplace. Among the first things that one noticed was the profusion of flow ers decorating the room. In each corner there was a large urn filled with dogwood blos soms, three vases of cut flowers adorned the fireplace mantel and on each table a huge bowl of pur ple flags served as a centerpiece. After everyone had met everyone else and bad said their "howdy dos", Mr. Corpening said, "Lets eat." , ; i . : Every one took their place and Rev. C. L. Allen asked the bless ing '. The farm agents, capably acting as waiters, even to wearing aprons, began serving the food and such delicious food you have never last ed before. The menu consisted of fruit juice, salad, tried cnicKen, corn- on-cob, parsley potatoes, broccoli, apple sauce, homemade rolls, milk, coffee and for dessert a cherry tart topped with whipped cream. Now I Just bet that will make you folks that didn't come wish you had. Everyone ate and ate, until they nrobablv felt like the small boy whn snirl he could sua cnew Dill he couldn't swallow. A toast in the form of a song was sung to the cooks and waiters, the gist of it being. "What's the mat ter with the cooks? Nothing fs the matter with the cooks," etc. Then everyone chanted, "W e want a joke by Bob Francis." Again everyone assembled lin a semi-circle around the fireplace and the business meeting began with Mrs. C. O. Newell, County Chairman, presiding.

High school lunch room is too small for the number of students served. At present 840 are served and the room seats 75 people. 2 Spring Hill SchoolIn Henson Cove, this school is a fire haz ard; has no imddern conveniences; grounds muddy, n driveway for buses or cars., School is over crowded with C3 students under two teachers. We recommend a larger nd more modern building, same to be. built immediately. 3 Bethel School we go on record for a new central high school at Bethel, the present one is not sanitary, is a fire hazard, and inade quate in every respect. This school building is a disgrace to the great citizenry of Haywood county, v U The above was our report, and I am PROUD to say "Help For These Schools Is On The Way," and in the future the needs which we revealed in our report will in some measure be corrected. of civic pride, as well as an example to other communities. A sdi building (a modern one) serves as a social center and a place for pi lie gatherings which could not be had if the building wore rcniov from the community. I am for improved school conditions where ever, and w hm t thev are needed, rceardlessof what section of the county (he nw ists. I favor lighter teacher loads in th classroom in order io piomj better instruction for the students. And when funds nro aviuf' will work earnestly to give the county more and better school huh: I go on record as opposed to any consolidation of elementary schools where it will be necessary to transport "little children" over long distances to a larger consolidated school. I sincerely feel further that a school in a community is an inspira tion to its people to work to make it a better school, and an example' Needs Of Social Security I believe w should wmnmt with nr rnnorress in securma broader Social Security program for every working man in our c; try; whetherie lives on the farm, clerks, or is self-employed.
