Those On Probation Can
J. Write Own Destiny/ Club
Is Told By H. A. McGlamery
"Yg?> ijsve the prison keys In
your pocket." Herbert A. McGlsm
try, pntation sinsor tor this ores,
said he tolls those who ore placed
| on probation by the courts, and in
| his ears. 11
He told the story of probation
work hers Friday, as he discussed
the prograan for Rotarians.
The soft-spoken officer said that
Haywood was one of the outstand
ing counties in the state in co
operation with the probation offi
cer. satf Mptng get jobs for those i
on probation
"1 receive KM per cent coopera
tion from the personnel of all
h plants in Haywood." he explained,
as he began the story of his work
which includes Henderson. Tran
sylvania. and all counties' from
* Haywood west.
He ssid that after the court
. places a person on probation, the
first things is to find them suitable
employment, and then to help them
become useful citizens
"1 have one man who started
working hard, aaved his money, and
now owns his home, a car, and has
s happy family.
"1 always am on the side of the
better way of life," he said, ss he
explained how many, many times,
he had led men to see the error
of their ways, snd to turn their
L efforts into something worthwhile
and useful.
"I was thrilled not long ago
when I went Into a court room in
my district and saw there on the
Jury, a man who had once been
on probation und^ me, the man
had made a success of his life, and
is now a leading citizen of hlz com
munity." *
The probation officer said he
now has five high school boys
under him. while he had eight last
year. When these boys see that i
there I* no much more happiness
to be had from following the bet
ter way of life, they make splendid
records and break away from the
thing, or things that get them into
trouble.
"Very seldom do we have trouble
with a person after he has been on
l 3-year suspended sentence and
worked closely with us." he said.
h(r. McGlammery said the alco
holic that will cooperate and at
tend the Alcoholics Annonymous
can be completely rehabilitated.
He termed the AA at the "back
rloor to the church," and in his
entire program urges that each
person attend church regularly.
"People who go to church ser
vices regularly never get Into]
trouble that means going on pro
bation." the officer explained.
The officer pointed out, "It Is
i thrill to help people. I recall
one case where the man lived in a
remote area and I found him a Job
near town. He came In, and I
tried to give him the best of ad
rice. and help him improve his liv
ing conditions. I thrill now to
tee the home, with modern con
veniences, his happy family, and
lis entirely changed outlook on
ife.. He Is now a fine citizen."
There are between 3.S00 and
1.000 people on promotion in the
itate now, and are supervised by 23
iien and 3 women probation offi
cers. The plan was 'started in this
itate in 1037. although It began in
Boston In 1841,
"This is a Job 1 love, and my
greatest satisfaction comes when
i man who holds a good position,
s an ideal citizen, and a leader In
lis church comes in and tells me
lis life was changed by my guid
ince while he was on probation.

When a Clydesdale gelding be
comes a part of the nationally-1
famous Wilson Six-Horse Hitch, he
has reached the pinnacle of sue
cess In the Clydesdale world. Six
of these outstanding horses will be 1
on display March 17th from 2 to 3

the Wilson Hitch makes a local ap
pearance.
Wilson representatives are con
stantly searching for young geld
ings to add to their famous team
The meat packing firm keeps about
IS Clydesdales on a farm near
Elmhurst, III., and several new
horses are added each year.
To make the grade a gelding
must be a sound two or tbree year
old and have the same size, quality,
confirmation, color and style of the
other championship geldings. Af
ter being chosen for the Wilson
team, the young gelding is taken to
the Wilson farm where he Is train
ed for one or two years.
This training includes a careful
daily grooming and a selected diet,
observed by a veterinarian and the
Wilson trainers. Other steps in the
training program include getting
the young gelding used to people
and crowds. He must also get used
to prison in your pocket?keep
going right and you'll stay out of
prison?fall to go right, and the
keys in your pocket will be used
to lock the prison doors behind
you." I
The keys are seldom used. The
men become , fine citizens.
to the heavy brass harness that Is a
trademark of the Wilson Six-Horse
Hitch.
The gelding is driven around in
the stable each day with long
lines and a man walking behind
him. In this way he learns the
proper reactions to commands. He
learns what each different pres
sure and pull of the reins means.
Next,, he is teamed with an older
horse and driven around and later
hitched to a wagon for training in
pulling loads.
After learning the technique of
pulling in pairs, the gelding be
comes a part of a four-horse hitch
Finally, the big day comes when he
is harnessed to the famous Wilson
Six-Horse Hitch, and he then be
comes a part of the team that has
won the national championship 21
times in the past 36 years. Most
recent award for the Wilson Hitch
came in the 1955 International
Livestock Exposition in Chicago.
As a member of the Wilson Six
Horse Hitch he will tour the Uni
ted States, playing a prominent
role in parades, celebrations, bond
drives and other civic activities.
Millions of boys, girls and adults
will marvel at him and the other
Clydesdales.
Local folks will have their chance
to see this famous Wilson Six
Horse Hitch when it visits Ray's

75,000 Strawberry Plants j
Ordered For Haywood Folk
An ord^r for 75,000 strawberry
plants for Haywood County resi
dents yvill be sent off today by
County Agent Virgil L. Holloway.
Many of the plants will be used
by county residents to go into com
mercial strawberry production, Mr.
Holloway pointed out.
A truck from this county will
leave here the last week of March
to pick up the 75.000 plants, the
county agent said.
The plants ordered are the
"Tennessee Beauty" variety, espec
ially adapted to growth in the
mountain region, Mr. Holloway ex
plained. They are high quality,
high yielding, and virus free, he
added.
Buying collectively, Haywood
residents were able to purchase the
strawberry plants at the ? rate of
$7.50 per thousand from a Tenn
nursery.
The increased production of
strawberries has been suggested by
N. C. State College agricultural
specialists and by members of the
new Haywood County Agricultural
Development Council as a promis
ing enterprise for raising the
county's farm income.
Mr. Holloway said that when it
was Arst announced that his office
was taking orders for strawberry
plants, it was expected that only
about 10.000 or 15,000 would be
ordered.
"However, we were agreeably
surprised when the Anal total
climbed to 75.000," the county a
gent remarked.
Tax Assistance
Will Be Given
During March
Representatives of the federal
Internal Revenue Service will be
at the Waynesville postofTice each
Tuesday in the month of March.
Taxpayers needing assistance In
the preparation of their Income tax
returns will be given personal at
tention in the solution of their
problems. To eliminate the neces
sity of having to wait in long lines,
taxpayers will "be provided with
tables and encouraged to prepare
their own returns to the extent of
their ability and the revenue agents
will assist them In whatever cap- |
acity necessary.

Now we can show you these great new CMC's
that are further than ever ahead of all others.
Their advances not only clinch power supremacy
?but reach into fields still unexplored by other
truck-makers.
For example, GMC's Road Shock Damper
Suspension*?plus a unique new stabilizer?pro
duces in half-ton models a ride comparable to the
finest passenger car.
An optional new fast-ratio cruising axle in light
duty GMC's gives you an overdrive's pace and
economy without its cost.
Sharply increased engine displacement in both sixes
and V8V gives you a power family unsurpassed in
f "
the light-duty field. Specifically, we offer 14.4%
GREATER displacement on 6-cylinder models,
16.2% on V8's than our nearest competitors. And
CMC VH's, mind you, match the shortest stroke
ratios in the truck industry.
Styling is well into the future?panoramic wind
shield to sand-tight tail gate. Tubeless tires, of
course. And a 12-volt electrical system is standard.
These are some of the strides presented in new
1956 Blue Chip trucks we now
have on view. The values are
even more notable. Come in
