of two schooIs-Spring Hill and
Cecil. There are two teachers at
Spring Hill, and Cecil has one less
than last year, it was explained.
JTHe new elementary plant at
Bethel would provide far better
facilities than either of the pres
ent plants, it was set out. ,
J. L. Worley, member of the
county board of education, said he
did riot see any prospects for a
reduction of student load in the
Pigeon Valley area, which is serv
ed by the Bethel school. Mr. Wor
ley also pointed out the state would
: not approve renovation of the
Spring Hill building with only two
teachers, and that many patrons
In that area preferred sending their
children to larger schools.
Mrs. Lucy Jones, county super
intendent, said the enrollment at
Spring Hill and Cecil showed a
decrease this year over last.
Mr. Hutchins commented on the
belief that past experiences at
Morning Star and Beaverdam
schools had shown the people were
happier after consolidation. "Prior
to consolidation of schools into the
Beaverdam school, we had a num
ber of very small, inadequate one
and two-room schools. Now the
Beaverdam school is one of the
most modern in the western part
of the state."
Mrs. Jones Dointed out that
Cruso and Tines Creek schools d
not need more space, but some
additional facilities, such as lights,
water, heating and sanitary facili
ties. ,
Mr. Hutchins said he could not
see how the voters could afford to
turn down such an urgent need.
Mr, Worley answered by saying:
wThe people should visit the schools
and see first-hand the crowded MOKE ABOUT

Clyde Ray Finds Propor
Care Produces Tomatoes
Clyde Ray has not sought the
title, but he could well wear we
crown as tomato king. His crop
of tomatoes has eone far beyond
all expectations, and his fondest
hopes.
Last spring he planted a row of
Burpee's hybrid plants by a wire
fence. He dug a deep trench, and
h;ilf filled it with Well-rotted ma
nure.
The plants started to growing,
and clineine to the fence, and when
they reached the top of the, 6-foot
fence, he added stakes and poles,
and the vines shot eight feet high.
Then came the firm, red toma
toes. In the meantime he dustea
as needed, and then began the har
vest. He nicked, His wife canned.
The family ate tomatoes three times
a day, canned some more, and then
began supplying friends and neigh
bors. Even relatives from Florida
carried back a crate of the fire-red
tomatoes.
The vines are still blooming, and
enough small tomatoes on them to
keep the picking season going long
after the first expected frost.
Mr. Ray plans to keep his eye
on the weatherman, and just be
fore frost, pull up the plants, and
hang them In a dry place for the
green tomatoes to, ripen. That Is
his present plans, and he will fol
low them through unless he de
cides that he has had enough of
tomatoes for one season, and calls
it the end of a startling experi
ment : He sold about 10,000 of the
plants, and is now in a position
to personally add his recommenda
tions to what this particular variety
will do when propertly planted and
cared for during the season.

Willis Kirkpatrick, Canton board
chairman said: "It is a fact that
our school children are crowded
and need more space."
' Frank M. Davis cited the need
for. civic leadership, and the dan
ger of complacency on the matter.
The commissioner also expressed
himself on the need of assuring
the people of getting full value
for the money spent on the build
ings. "That must be a guarantee,"
he emphasized.
. . Mr. Hutchins pointed out that
by careful supervision "full value"
could be assured, and to this Mr.
Davis complimented the Canton
board for their fine work on ex
pansion, and renovation with their
portion ($150,000) of the stale
bond issue. (Editor's note the
county's share amounting to $364,
000 has not been spent).
Jarvis H. Allison, commissioner,
sitting near the head of the con
ference table, had listened intently
for almost two hours, and then said:
"This is by far a better propo
sition which the board of educa
tion has brought us than the last
one which called for three million
dollars. This appeals to me. I am

The filtering plant is the process
whereby all foreign matter, and
sediment is taken from the water
by the filtering through sterilized
sand, and gravel. The water in the

small foreign particles are suffici
ent to clog up the fine screens on
water meters, the officials point

"This niattcr of furnishing i

was installed 46 years ago, the
plant only supplied Waynesville,
