Rowland presid ing. W. M. Landess of the Tennes see Valley Authority s Division of Agricultural Relations was# the speaker. Two of the county agents, Steve Cassel and Homer Sink, were also present. Mr. Landess showed slides and gave an excellent talk on commun ity co-operation.

Also to give advice as to the best variety for canning and eating. The Barber orchard at Saunook is the second largest individually owned apple orchard east of the Mississippi River. Second in size to that of Senator Byrd of Virginia. Everyone on Saunook has con fidence in Mr. Barber's knowledge of growing and caring for an or chard and all who plan on this project should make a special ef fort to attend this meeting. In last week s paper we read where for the first time this year since 1917 two couples from Okla homa do not have children going to school. Right here in Haywood County, we can beat that one. This is the first year since 1916 that Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Eavenson of Saunook do not have a child in school. In 1916 their eldest daugh ter, Emma, now Mrs. Andrew Bi alek, entered school at the old Quinlan Town School on the head of Aliens Creek. Since that first small school Mrs. Bialek has gone a long way, having graduated from Western Carolina Teacher's College and taught in Puerto Rico for three years. While teaching on this island she met and ihhi; married Mr. Bialek. Mr. and Mrs. ?t Bialek now live on a farm In the State of Pennsylvania. O.uer children of Mr. and Mit. 1 Eavenson are Mrs. Elsie Oava, t Mrs. Farmer Rogers, Mrs. Ruius Melton, Mrs. Hoot Gibson, Mrs. Ralph Pressley, Lester, James and 1 Tom Eavenson. Several of these t children of Mr. and Mrs. Eaven- < son graduated from Waynesville Township High School. Mr. and Mrs. Eavenson have ^ twenty-six grandchildren including I' two sets of twins. Eighteen of the ' grandchildren are in school at the present time. MV. and Mrs. Eavenson have ' worked hard to rear their large - family and now as they are nearing the sunset of a happy useful life they have a nice comfortable home and one of the best apple orchards of Saunook where visitors will al ways And a warm welcome. Two of our Saunook hunters be lieve in hunting either for sport or maybe looking on the practical side and supplying the family with plenty of meat. Qarl McCracken, Jr. brought home a large deer on Thanksgiving and Claude C. Mc Clure, Jr. (Bud) also killed a large eight point buck weighing about one hundred Afty pounds, dressed. Pvt. Jimmie Hooper spent last weekend in Durham. Miss Alawayne McClure who is a student at Berea College spent Thanksgiving at her home on Bal sam Road.

Mr. and Mrs. Crawford Hawkins of Lenoir spent a few days last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hawkins. Work 6n the Sunday School rooms at the Pleasant Balsam Bap tist Church is progressing nicely and it should not be too long un til we will be ready to move into them. The work *on the school audi orium is also well underway. We are sorry to report Aunt Margaret Hawkins on our sick list his week. Mr. and Mrs. Guy Queen and Jorter Queen spent last Sunday at he home of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Jueen in Spartanburg, S. C.

Marine Corps To Form New Mountaineer Platoon The Marine* are agair. offering .men of Western North Carolina the opportunity to serve with their friends. The Recruiting Service an nounced today that the Second Mountaineer Platoon is now being formed. This platoon, like the first mountaineers of last July, will be made up of men from Western North Carolina, and will be scbed-1 uled to leave Abbeville on the 19th of January, 1954. Men can sign up now, be exam ined and sworn in, and then re turn home to leave' in January. This means you can actually be come Marines, but yet remain houie for Christmas and Nfw Year's, Marine recruiters saic.. The first Mountaineers proved to be the best platoon that has gradu ated at Parris Island for several years, according to Recruiting Sgt. Joseph H. Lathrop. "This just goes to show that men serving with their friends work together better and have a greater .pirit." "After having interviewed sev eral men from the last platoon, we fodnd that they were very pleased with the plattoon idea and encouraged it in the future, and because of these men being so well satisfied, r.'e are now accepting enlistments for the second Moun taineer Platoon, to leave in Janu ary. "It Is anticipated that the sec ond Mountaineer Platoon will bet ter the record set by the first and prove even further that men serve better and with more pride and spirit when they are given the op portunity to serve with their friends from home," Sgt. Lathrop' added. ? Young men wno are interested in serving with their friends in this platoon,' leaving January 19th, are urged to contact their local Ma rine Recruiter at the Waynesville post office on Monday, or at the Asheville post office the remainder of the week.
