Attending the awards program will be representatives of all of the organized communities, city and county officials of the area, representatives of the public agri cultural agencies, and county and i 1 area sponsors.

Cemeteries have been cleaned off and land- ' scaped. The roadsides have been ; made neater and more attractive. | Garbage disposal programs, test ing of water, garden and yard con- ?, tests, cutting right-of-ways for ( electricity and telephones, help- , ing neighbors in distress, all these ( are but only a few of the projects ( that most of the communities have ( worked on. " The goal for 1957 is to get still , more communities working on an ( ; organized program," says Mr. ; Cecil. "Town and country alike ( | have a real stake in this work, j ! The community development pro I gram presents a great opportunity for the entire area. 1 Auto retail sales in the United I States now amount to more than S43 billion dollare annually. 1 SCIENCE CLUB OFFICERS at Fines Creek High School this term are (from leftt Barbara Fergu son, vice president: Patricia Kirkpatrick. reporter: Novella Rector, treasurer; Margaret Rogers, presi dent, and Joretta Clark, secretary.

Canton High Campus Cuff notes Ji> JIMMY HEGLAU The Canton Hlack Bears tri umphed over Charlotte Harding in i thrilling game last Friday night oy a score of 30-7 The Bears gained more yard age, held the ball longer, and play ed probably the best game of the season. A rarity in high school football was accomplished when Charles Duke kicked a field goal from the 23 yards out. All in all. I he boys performed very well and really gained a victory, and. as Charlotte believes, an upset. The hometown folks outnumbered Charlotte's fans by a large num ber and they gave the support needed to keep the Bears fighting. i This victory makes them eligible to compete with Washington for the state championship in a game to be played on Canton's field this Friday night Thd Christian Youth Organiza tion met last Munda> for the ring ceremony. These rings serve as constant reminders to members of the Christian club to uphold its standards. The Dramatics Class presented a Thanksgiving play in assembly. The cast included: Emily Stone. Mary Welte, Ginger Campbell. Jerry Raxter, and Perry Haney. This play was -jnjoyed by everyone. Reports were issued Wednesday, I and almost all of the students have I settled duwn to work again after I enjoying a short vacation t'oH^| Thanksgiving. Now we're looking I forward to the Christmas holidays. I ^| Postal Services Expanded For 1956 Christmas Mail Postal patrons this coming!
