GEORGE BQR1NG (Mountaineer Correspondent) If a stranger had happened through White Oak Thursday night he would have wondered why all the traffic. Candidates i r o m Canton, Waynesvllle, Hazelwood, Clyde, and other points began gathering at Sam Ledford's around six-thirty. By the Unie the community meeting got under way at the regu lar meeting place, the crowd grew and grew until it was filled to capacity and a number of resi dents had to stay on the outride. Before the meeting was opened j by Chairman Yoder Messer, num- -ia were gjven io every candidate and visitor present to be held for the drawing of the door prizes later. The meeting was ooened bv sink ing "In The Sweet Bv and Bv" led by Robert Fisher. Scripture was read by Mrs. Mattie Teague and prayer led by Robert Fisher. The Candidates were then wel comed by the chairman and a burst or applause by the residents greet ed the visitors. Each candidate was asked to in- troduce himself and tell what of fice he aspired to. The followine candidates responded: Mr. Paul Murray lor State Senate; Frank P. Graham for V, S. Senate, rep resented by John M. Queen; Oral L. Yates for Representative; W. G. fivers for ReDrespntntlvp- C. N, Leatherwood for Clerk of Court; J. B. Siler for Clerk of Court- Jule Noland for Register of Deeds; Sebe T.

J, Noland for Board of County Commissioners; Frank Medford for Board n County Commissioners; Frank M. Davis for Board of County Commis sioners; L, Medford Leatherwood for Sheriff; Fred Y.

McCrarv for Board of Education; Richard Queen Dr. Graham's secretary; (Sincerely hope I haven't missed any candi dates).: Other guests included Jimmle Helds, Dorothy Fields, Mrs. Sebe Bryson and Mr, Kelley. First thing on the agenda was the auctioning off of boxes by L. Medford Leatherwood. and these boxes brought in a total of $387.00 to add to our building fund,. The women of the community went all out in decorating these boxes beautifully and filling them with fried chicken and other eood things to eat. There was a lot of friendly competition in the bid ding, but no bidder knew whose box he had bought until later in the evening when the boxes were distributed and the lady's name re vealed. Mrs. Roe Ledford and Mrs, George Boring kept the record of MAY DAY DATTLE til DEuLIN J 5IM0NStRAT0R$ of West Berlin attack police of East (Soviet) Berlin In ne of many clashes on May Day, when Communist youths had threat ened to march into the allied tone.

Production is now forecast t 1,777,000,000 pounds, down four per cent from the 10 year average and down 24 per cent from Ust year' record crop. As y. ' T-r,;;.:e ;,. have ei.e... i. ) . .

Davis, candidate for Commissioner, kept the bidding lively and bought four boxes him self. He then generously turned back three of them to be resold. Mr. John Queen well represented Mr. Frank P. Graham for U. S. Senate, by buying two boxes, say ing one was for Mr. Graham and one for Mrs. Graham. Mrs. Ruth Kelley also well represented her brother David Underwood for Chairman of Board of Commis sioners by bidding in two of the boxes and giving one back for re sale. . . Jule Noland for Register of Deeds bought two boxes to satis fy his hunger. Hugh Leatherwood, Clerk of Court, not only bought one for himself but also one for Gaylor Baldwin who is almost 80 years of age and one of the oldest residents of White Oak. ; Medford Leatherwood was such a convincing auctioneer that he talked himself into buying two boxes, and Sam Ledford also fell under the spell of the auctioneer and bought two. All the other Candidates pur chased a box and a few were sold to the men of the community. Mr. Leatherwood was heartily thanked for his "chanting,' and he responded by saying "that he had auctioned off a box supper at While Oak just after the Com munity Development Program had begun, and he just wondered to himself then if they would ever make a go of it. Then to see what they have accomplished and the crowd present at this box supper was almost beyond imagination." George Boring acted as master of ceremonies and called on John Queen, Richard: Queen, Oral Yates, and Hugh Leatherwood to come forward. They-were then asked to sing and Mr. Queen led off in the high gear much to the amusement of everyone. Before they were through they all proved that they could slngt?) Others were then called forward and asked to give their views and opinions on the Community De velopment Program in Haywood County. Mr. Siler was asked if he thought we needed a community house. He was quite frank in saying that one only had to look around to find that we definitely did need one, and that White Oak was to be com mended on their efforts to realize this ambition. Mr. Will Byers, Mr. Paul Mur ray, Mr. Frank Davis, Mr. Oral forward and each gave interesting taiks on the Community Develop-; rhent Program and the good fellow-! ship which it creates nd the good it does for rural life. Also what a wonderful thing for i the residents of White Oak to work! toward a community trmcr wun.-u everyone can enjoy and what H should mean to the younger gen eration. Others then joined in the discussion and aired tlieir views on the subject and brought out some fine points, good thoughts and ideas. Everyone present expressed their thanks for being invited to this box supper and said what a good iC?a White Oak hod having a Candidate night just for them. Mrs. Campbell said she was en joying the meeting and that It was the first gathering.. "-of candidates where v there, were no political spoeehes, Just good natured dis cussions during the meeting. Of course the candidates had their op portunity to get in their two cents before and after the meeting. Mr. Messer, the chairman, then said; "Let's eat." And everyone agreed with him and promptly claimed their boxes and partners. Hot coffee and cold lemonade was served to all box holders and to everyone present. Four door prizes were then glv en to the lucky persons. These prizes were home-made lemon pies and cakes. i,u i Then everyone being full of chicken and other tasty bits seemed to feel full of contentment, went home with a realization of what a wonderful thing good fellowship is. Each and every candidate most generously donated to the future of White Oak and their new club house. Again we say "Thanks Candl dates' it was really a pleasure to Yates " Mrs Ruth Ktllpv and Mr. S.
