a Waynesvtlle fireman (left) last Wednesday af
ternoon after a blaze which started from a defec

house itself was saved by firemen, but consider

Some Win, Some Lose
In Production Of Eggs
If you don't think that good
management is the key to produc
ing hatching eggs profitably, listen
to D. G. Harwood, Jr., extension
farm management and marketing
specialist,at N. C. State College.
Harwood points out that results
of a recent study of hatching egg
producers in the mountains of
North Carolina show that 38 per
cent of these producers had a net
return of $2 or more per bird. Yet
32 per cent of the producers lost
money!
The producers who made money
followed those management prac
tices while the producers who lost
money did not:
1. Bought chicks bred for a
higher rate of lay.
2. Started chicks to come into
production between July and Sep
tember to take advantage of higher
seasonal egg prices.
3. Fed more grain, which low
ered production costs.
4. Kept closer supervision on
their flocks.
Harwood says that while these
practices may seem like minor de
tails, they clearly made the differ
ence between profit and loss of
the hatching egg producers studied
in the survey.

It's surprising that there still is a
large number of people who think
about television in the same cate
gory as they do about radio. Ac
tually, the difference
might be compared I
with the bicycle and I
automobile. The num- I
ber of tubes, the com- I
ponents and thousands I
of wire connections in ?
a TV set make the K
average radio look like ?
a toy. And with the ?
coming of color in TV I
these electronic devic- m
es are increased manv
times. I
Just one reason that television is
trickier than radio is that, two
transmission lines instead of one
are involved ... a video line for
the picture, an audio line for sound
They must be received by your set ')
at the same time.
One station mix-up for example ]
showed a rough and tumble wrestl
ing match while the sweet tones of
"Darling, we were meant for each I
other" came over the audio line

Library Notes
Ann
Margaret Johnston
County Librarian
I would like to express my ap
preciation to the many friends of
the Haywood County Public Li
brary. First to the Board members,
who give of their time. I have ap
preciated and value their guidance
of the past 12 years for, they are
grand people to work "with" and
"for". Also, I appreciate the peo
ple who use the Library, for they
make it come alive. They are real
ly the ones who know its strong
points and its weak points,
I appreciate too. the Club indi
viduals who have contributed to
the Library?both in their interest,
and financially.
I appreciate the cooperation of
Radio Stations WHCC, WVVIT, and
WWNC and the Waynesville Moun
taineer. Canton enterprise, and
Asheville Cittaen-Times, and tile
County agencies who have helped
to explain to the public the library
services.
I am grateful for the privilege
of working wi'h such a fine staff
whose motto is, I believe, "Serv
ICC".
Speaking personally, I feel very
humble when you express your ap
preciation of what the Library
means to you and your family. The
statT and I are always grateful that
we have helped you. I trust you
also express your appreciation to
the Board, the County Commis
sioners. and the Town Aldermen,
for they make the Library financial
support possible, and its future
depends on their knowledge of the
meaning of the County Library to
you.
Explorer
Scout Post
Is Organized
An organizational meeting of an
Explorer Boy Scout post was held
at the Town Hall at Waynesville
last week.
Exploring Is an advanced activ
ity for young boys from the age
of 1* on. The organization was Ini
tiated by the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica and is similar in some respects
although the activities and pro
grams are planned and carried out
almost exclusively by the young
men themselves. Various advisors
attend the activities and guide the
boys in their work.
Many of the members of the Ex
plorers were former boy scouts al
though non-scouts can join. Small
groups from 10 to 15 boys meet
regularly in a monthly business
meeting and plan subsequent activ
ities in one of four fields: tl) voca
tional, (2) social. (3) service ot oth
ers. and (4) outdoors.
In the meeting Monday night,
seven boys were present including
Mike Byrd, Johnny Carswell, John
| ny Farmer, Carey Arrington, Stu
art Scruggs. Charlie Balentine. and
Bobby Bailance. Tom Speed, coun
cil representative o^ the Boy Scouts
of America, explained the organi
zation and function of Exploring
to the boys. Mike Byrd was elected
crew leader and took over the
meeting planning the subsequen*
activities this month. These will In
clude participation in scout week
wth an attendance at church in one
group, a basketball activity or par
ty, and a proposed trip through
Dayton Rubber Plant.
Others present included Law
rence Davis, president of Hazel
wood Boosters Club who is spon
soring the Explorer Post, Rudy i
Cars well, post advisor, and Dr. i
Stuart Roberson, institional ,epre
sentative of the Hazelwood Boost
ers Club. Committee advisors pres.
ent were John Hogue, Milburn Bal
lance, Charlie Balentine, and Dr.
