A Growing Business
"No single phase of our agricultural pro
gram seems to be moving forward at a faster
pce right now than poultry. It is evident
that Haywood farmers are learning a lot a
bout poultry, and among those things are that
it is a profitable business when handled prop
erly.
'Heretofore many farmers have had the
mistaken idea that the most profit was made
by trying to go "all the way" in poultry, from
tlje day-old chick to the heavy layer.
v Experience has proven that the three
phases of the poultry business call for differ
ent forms of operation, and "know-how."
poultry man who handles day-old
chicks until they are 10 weeks old has certain
problems, which the hatchoryman is not con
cerned. Then the poultryman who goes in for
tle eggs has still other problems that are not
of concern to the others.
CThose who go into one phase of the busi
ness, and goes at it from the scientific angle,
are finding that the profits are there.
-Many a small Haywood farm is well suited
tifraising poultry oft JusflJtfch a basis.
Canton's Modernized Schools
Last week Canton School officials gave a
cvjntrsoc for the expansion of another school.
u contract means that each of their schools
miU hve received a part of the $150,000
hKh the district received from the fifty mil-
licr, sut school program.
Thtf schools which we have visited in the
Ci.-.:on Area that have been expanded, or im-
prvvvd under the program, stand out as a dis
t-.net crxxiit to the officials and the citizens at
Tike for example the Beaverdam school;
the rooms are large, well ventilated, acoustic
al treated walls and ceiling; tile floors; slate
green writing wall boards, laboratory in the
nxm, and an adequate rest room, and cloak
'room in the same room. Entire sides of glass
windows, and fluorescent lights overhead.
Really, as modern, and practical as one could
imagine.
, Additional rooms have been added at other
of the schools, modern rest rooms installed in
others, and lunch room facilities rearranged;
and expanded, All this from their share of the
State bond issue.
The Canton school officials have put spec
ial emphasis on improving the elementary
grades of their system. Their position being
that a student learning to like, and benefit
from the elementary system makes a better
and more consistent high school student.
The Haywood district received at the same
time, the total of $346,000 out of the state
school money.
The sum is still as it was when the state as
signed it to this district. It has not been spent,
nor contracts made against the fund. All this
is a matter of record.
The Little Symphony Is Back
The four concerts which the North Caro
lina Little Symphony will give here this
wjeek today in Canton, and Wednesday
hfire is welcome news to those who love and
appreciate music of the type played under
the baton of Director Benjamin Swalin.
The concerts always attract a large audi
ence, and indications are that the four per
formances in Haywood this week will be well
received.

Haywood Will Come Through
The Red Cross Bloodmobile is coming here
Wednesday with the feeling that the citizens
of this community will again go the limit in
giving blood.
The citizens of this community are aware
of the urgent needs, and the necessity of par
ticipating in 'his worthy program.
We have case after case right here among
our friends and neighbors who are alive to
day because they lived in an area where
plasma was available. We have other friends
and relatives in Korea who will be able to
come back home from the frozen battlefields,
because they received blood plasma in time.
Blood is life, and the blood given for the
Red Cross program is the giving of life to a
person who needs that which you can now
spare. V-i"
When the Bloodmobile comes here. Wednes
day we have no fear of missing the quota;
we feel that a generous supply will be given.

We heard of a new way to "bury"
your troubles. A member of our
staff has just purchased a new
home and he found the usual ear
marks of a recently completed
house. One of these and a very
substantial one was a mortar box
with accumulations of hardened
cement that made ti weigh a ton
and made it equally impossible to
move. So he employed a bull
dozer to dig a deep (and we mean
DEEP) hole in the rear of his
property, and haul the mortar box
to its grave and dump it in. The
hole still seemed amply large to
accommodate more. So In went
three huge tree stumps which the
bulldozer had cheerfully pulled
from Mother Earth. Now, we're
wondering if the master of the
house may find himself cutting
timber should the tree stumps de
cide to grow from their lowly
place. v

A Haywood Characteristic
-Show us another county in North Carolina
where more than 600 people would face a
sfcady downpour of rain to go miles to see a
demonstration of modern home building.
Last Friday 600 braved the elements and
went to Iron Duff to see experts do every
thing from sanding floors to painting walls at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Davis.
Such interest in home improvement is un
matched anywhere. But such is Haywood.
Optimistic Religion
Before long, truckers will begin unloading
building materials on the lot of the First Bap
tist church. The erection of the modern audi
torium has been given the "green light" by
the congregation.
This is the second major expansion for the
church in the past five months. Last fall the
church bought a residence and converted the
parsonage into a 9-room Sunday School build
ing. This move helped the growing Sunday
School, but did not give more room for the
congregations at the church services. The ex
tra chairs which were bought for the audi
torium are usually filled before services be
gin, and ushers are often embarrassed by not
having a place for late comers.
The fact that the congregation is unani
mously in agreement on the project, and said
as much by their vote on Sunday, is indicative
of the thinking, and optimism which prevails
with the First Baptist members. !
