' * Boosters Club To Erect Modern Civic Meeting Place In Hazelwood Club Buys Site For Building The Hazelwood Boosters Club has purchased a lot and Is com pleting plans for the erection of a civic community building. The lot is 75 by 126, and is on Virginia Avenue, across from the Baptist parsonage. The purchase was made from Mr. and Mrs. George Walls, with Howell Bryson, representative of the club handling the details. Bryson said that Mr. and Mrs. Walls made a "substantial concession" on the price of* the property since it was for a civic enterprise. The finance committee of the Boosters Club is composed of C. N. Allen, Dr. R. Stuart Roberson and A. P. Ledbetter. They said that plans are to start construction of the cinder block 40 fey 80 foot building as soon as possible. The building will have a kitchen, dining room, rest rooms, and will be large enough to seat several hundred people. The civic leaders said?fhe build ing would be available to all civic groups who could make use of the facilities. The project is part of the Finer Carolina program of Hakelwood, it was announced. The civic club decided to erect the building due to the absence of any facilities in town, and to make it available to all other groups. The club is a sponsor of the Boy Scouts, and the auxiliary unit is the Boosterettes. which has a number of civic projects which they spon sor. The Boosters are at present meeting in the school cafeteria, and will hold their regular monthly meeting on Thursday night, 7 p.m. Lawrence Davis Is president of the Club and Glenn H. Wyatt is secre tary. - With 27.600,000 gross tons, the United States leads the world in merchant-ship tonnage, says the Twentieth Century Fund. I fZH LHLJi >7 ri*rd Ncbra It It the general opinion among TV stations that ttere is a lack of summer television viewing and therefore not worth the effort at broadcasting good programs. The results are re-run shows from the winter and programs with little or no planning. Actually recent sur- HnM veys show that this is not true. Naturally, If I old shows are going to ? be run, people will ? walk sigay from them. I But broadcast some- I thing of value, and the ?EfToaSJi public will be there to K||g a watch; may they be at home or on a vaca- fl tion to some distant city. Let some outstanding show or athletic event take place, and the hotels are swamped with requests for television receivers Motel operators are finding out that TV sets are very important, too, when a family with children drive in for accommodations. People do like to watch television in June. July and August as well as the winter months, and the net works should not treat the airways as if they were deserted. The Nelson tv service has a con sistent amount of service and main tenance calls to make during the summer And each summer there are more And what customers may be going on vacations are well made up for from calls from nearby vacation spots.

C Over 1 Billion, 400 Million Dollars Life Insurance in Force Canton Sets Erection Of GOC Hut The civil defense program in the Canton area will be strengthen ed by the erection of Ground Ob servers Corps hut, which is to be set up in Canton. Louis Kaplan, civil defense chairman in Canton, said this work will begin the first of this week, grading and graveling a road to the site. Town officials and the Champion Paper and Fibre Company are cooperating In the project. The observation hut which is to be erected was bought last Sep tember. Since it was the first aluminum hut bought in this dis trict, and possibly the first of its particular kind in the state. Gen. Griffin, in charge of GOC in North Carolina, requested that it be sent to Raleigh to be put on display at the N. C. State Fair. It was dis played there with the Town of Canton's name on it and returned to Canton after the fair closed. The hut, completely glass en closed, is to be erected on a con crete base 16 feet square in or der to provide a paved walkway completely around it. The hut measures 9 by 9. It is to be set up at a point on the ridge above the Champion Paper and Fibre plant. This site was chosen because of its easy accessibility, its near ness to the center of town and be cause it afforded complete all a round visibility. The Town of Canton is grading and graveling a road out to the site, and will furnish water and | lights. Telephone service will be provided by the GOC. R. C.' Stamey, commander of the GOC post, said that a 24-hour ser vice would be maintained when the hut was established, and that many volunteers would be needed to maintain such a schedule. The post was organized here more than a year ago, with Stamey In charge, and William Donaldson post super visor. Officials from the Knoxville Filter Center assisted In the or ganization.

Libeau Sees Wide Open Egg Market In Haywood i A total of 412.8 cases of eggs are consumed in Haywood County each week, according to the sur vey made by the county agent's staff and C. P. Libeau of N. C. State College recently. The Canton-Clydc-Lake Juna luska area accounts for 191.8 cases, Waynesvllle for 172 cases. Hazel wood for 30, _.nd Maggie Valley for 18. In a report of the survey, the population of Haywood County is given as 38,000, with an urban population of 10,000, rural non farm population of 15,000 and rural farm population of 12,500. In the report, Mr. Libeau wrote: "If the 25,500 non-farm popula tion bought one case of eggs per year or 30 dozen each, this would amount to 25,500 cases of eggs bought and consumed. Divided equally between 52 weeks, retail purchase* can be estimated at 490 cases per week. "At 60 cents per dozen or $18 per case, the retail market sales in Haywood County can be estimated at $9,000 per week. Total sales would amount to $468,000, "Required for the production of 25,500 cases of eggs would be 51, 000 hens at 50 per cent of lay, or 42,000 at 60 per cent rate of lay. "It would take about 46 flocks of 1,000 hens, or 23 flocks of 2.000 hens to supply Haywood County retail markets with eggs. "Retail sales increase almost 120 per cent from their low in the spring to fall and early winter. This means that a majority of the flocks in Haywood County should start laying in May and June. Chicks should be purchased in No vember and December in order to have six or seven months of high est production In months with most advantageous market prices. Most of the retailers claim 95 per cent of the customers prefer brown eggs. Twenty-five retailers stated a definite preference for brown eggs although more than three-fourths of the eggs sold are white. In advising farmers on breeds it would be wise to take into con sideration the difference in pro ductivity of white and brown egg strains. White egg laying breeds may lay enough eggs or more than offset the color bias. Consumers may overcome the color bias as their confidence is built up in, white eggs. In summing up results of the egg market survey, Mr. Libeau asserted: "It appears as though there is plenty of room for new and ex panded commercial egg flocks in Haywood County. "If production should proceed at a rapid pace it would be easy to find markets at retail and wholesale levels. With the tremendous seasonality in production and sales it would be wise for producers to organize in one or several groups to dis tribute their eggs at all times. This would prevent the vigorous price cutting in the spring by egg producers competing for places to dump their eggs. It would also en able the producers to ship eggs out more efficiently if surpluses should occur. It would also be eas ier for Haywood County produc crs to build up sales to a quality conscious consumer under a branded carton, if they were or ganized in a producers association. REV. JOHN R. WILLIS Rev. Willis Accepts Post At Franklin The Rev. John R. Willis has an nounced his resignation as full time pastor at the Olivet Baptist Church of Maggie and as part-time pastor at the Victory Baptist Church of Maggie to become pas tor of the Mt. Hope Baptist Church in Franklin. Rev. Willis has been a pastor to the two Maggie Churches for the past three years and nine months. ? Since he has been at Olivet, the congregation has purchased a lot for a parsonage and Sunday School building, has sowed grass, con structed a driveway around the church, widened the front door, put up a sign out front, built a new furnace room and installed a new furnace, constructed a choir loft, put down a new carpet. In stalled a new pulpit and pulpit furniture and reflnished the floor. At some time in the future, the congregation plans to construct 9 new parsonage and Sunday School building. During Rev. Willis' ministry at Olivet, the church has grown both financially and in membership. The pastor's salary hag doubled and contributions have more than tripled. The Victory Baptist Church was formerly known as both the Peach tree Methodist and Missionary Baptist Church. When the two church congregations separated, the Baptists moved to a new site and constructed the Victory Bap tist Church. Since last July, more than $7,300 has been spent by the con gregation in work on the church, and the remaining debt is less than $1,200. The church is not yet com plete on the outside, but is nearly finished on the inside, where new pews and pulpit furniture have been Installed. The congregation is now operat ing on a budget plan and has tripled churph offerings and con tributions and the pastor's salary. Austria was freed in 1955 from 17 years of foreign occupation, first by the Germans and then by the four Allied powers.
