Crawford & Mingus Hayesvllle, N. Cl Phone 389-2432 THE COMPLETE ONE STOP SHOPPING CENTER FOR BUILDERS SUPPLYS 'Rambling fo Clay' By: Mrs. Neal R. Kitchens Heard Giblert Eller of the Scrougetown section say "If you don't want to sell your land now, you better offer it, or talk trading." Seems that he had a nice spot of woodland with a stream and a spring he mentioned selling and before he had time to back out of the trade, a man took him up on the deal. As a result, Mr. Eller is having to change his heating system. He put his wood circulator in the "For Sale" ad column this week. Said he would now have to buy a coal heater for he had no wood after selling his prop erty. Seems that we have all be come so tax conscious these days, that we expect to be taxed on every hand. Rec ently, Ed Davenport came by to pay his tax and with all sincerity in the world, asked if there was a sales tax on his property tax. Had an other taxpayer to ask if there was any excise tax to pay on his. By the end of January, when 1 finished getting out tax re ports and annual jail reports to the State and Federal Gov ernment, 1 took a look at my husband's tax numbers and realized he had been assigned the following: 56-0479314, 24 22-008, 32-022-85, 22 000009-08, 56-0479314 A (Agriculture), 603-1-002- 003 79. By the time I finished the reports on all the whole business, I was in such a daze that I wondered how I ever kept them separate. Seems to me that for the future generation if the State and Federal numbers could be applied for in advance there would be no need to name the youngens at birth, just give them a number, it would save a lot of brain racking when reporting time comes. Miss Sophronia Bramblett stopped in Monday. Her hear ing isn't too good now, she limps badly as she walks and has sime speech defect, but has a wonderful outlook on life. As she stood by the desk her clear blue eyes bright ened up as she said, "But the Lord has been so good to me. He has blessed me in so many ways. We are not appreciative enough for all the good things he has given us. We have had no bad storms, no floods nor any of the terrible things the people have endured in other places." It is refreshing to hear an older lady like her who lives alone, express her lovely thoughts. Many people in the Coun ty are confused by the tax procedure. Each year when the new tax books are made up and come to Neal R. Kit chens Tax Collectors Office in October, the old tax books are audited and the tax set tlement is made in full for all collected tax. These tax books then go to Gray and Carter, the De linquent Tax Collectors. With Gray and Carter send ing out the delinquent notices and notice of foreclosure, a good number of taxpayers have come to the Sheriffs Office to pay delinquent tax of mail ed checks to Neal R. Kit chens Tax Collector. For all delinquent tax, the settlement has to be made at Gray and Carter's office. Neal R. Kitchens, Sheriff and Tax Collector, only holds the tax books for the curr ent year. Even though it is Sgt, and Mrs. James C. Moss and son, Michael, are visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wade Moss in the Shoot ing Creek section. Sgt. Moss has been stationed in Berlin, Germany, with the U. S.Army for the past four years. He married the former Miss Brigitte Jeschke of Berlin. After spending sometime with his parents, the Moss family, will leave for Seattle, Wash ington where Sgt. Moss will be stationed. -CC Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hed den of Chattanooga, Tenn., ?pent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Norman A lexander and Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Ro gers and also visited other relatives. -CC Mr. and Mrs. Harold Mar tin of Marietta, Ga., Waited Mr. and Mrs. Henry Martin at Qualla during the weekend. -CC Mlss Sandra Cooke and Mlas Norma Wadaworth of Atlanta, spent die weekend with Sandra's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paid Cook*. -CC Mr. and Mr*.

Noticed the Jimmy John sons, Tom Swarison's, the Wimpey's and Willis Moore are among the many people in Clay who have been prun ing their trees around their homes. Really makes their homes look nice. 1 haven't attempted any of that; but armed with a pair of pruning shears about a foot and a half long, I lit in on our shrubbery. Having let it go for about six years, it looked like a bunch of undisciplined child ren* just plain wild. I started with the Arbor vitaes which had reached the mammoth stage. I whacked on one side and then on the other trying to round them up. Some how 1 seemed to keep getting them lop-sided and just kept whacking. When I completed them, they had undergone a drastic change. F rom mammoth, they went to minature. After a little rest, I then started on the Pfitzer Junip ers. Had I been very smart I would have at least put on some gloves, since these shrubs have so many jagg ers, and were much harder to trim. As 1 whacked up and down, across the front and the back somehow more limbs kept cropping out to make them uneven. After about in hour on these, 1 stopped to pick the jaggers out of my hands, use some lotion and hunt up a pair of gloves. After three or four even ings of pruning, I stood back to survey my work. Do you know what these shrubs re minded me of? A little boy who had just had his first haircut, shaggy, but well shorn. 1 decided that shrubs are like children, if let go too long with out attention theya re hard to bring in line.

Feb. 7-14 Makes 55 Years Of Scouting In United States By Sam Austin This week we are honoring the birthday of Scouting in the United States. Scouting was first visioned by Robert Baden - Powell at the close of the 19th century. The move ment actually began in 1908 in Grat Bitain, following the printing of his popular book, "Scouting for Boys." Scouting spread first to Chile in 1909, and then to the United States in 1910, being organized on February 8. It was introduced in this country by a publisher in Chicago, William D. Boyce. The move ment was granted a federal charter by congress in 1916. Even at its beginning, com munities and their leaders saw the needs for such a move ment among their youth, and envisioned the part Scouting could play in producing fine young men of good character, patriots of their country, with a sense of the true brother - hood of men. This was to be accomplish ed by the high ideas of Scout ing, by which a boy must strive to live - the Scout Oath and Scout Law:"On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself phy sically strong, mentally a wake, and morally straight." "A Scout is trustworthy, lo yal, helpful, friendly, court eous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and re verent." To these were ad ded the Scout motto, "Be prepared", and the Scout slo gan, "Do a good turn daily." Scouting has made tremen dous progress since those early years. This has been made possible by interested communities and civic minded citizens willing togiveof their time and effort for the good of their youth and their country. The total world membership in 1958 was about 8 1/2 mil lion. In 1959 membership in the Boy Scouts of America numbered over 5 million, with about 1/5 of the membership adult leaders in 129,097 units. Progress has also been made in the Nantahala Dis trict, made up of the counties of Cherokee, Clay, and Gra ham. This was particularly true in the advancement pro gram during the year 1964. There were four courts of honor held with approximately 550 people attending (Scouts, family, and friends). Approxi mately 150 aw?rds of rank and merit badges were awarded at that time. Why was this progress pos sible? The answer lies in the interest and backing Scouting received from communities and community leaders. A good example of this is pic tured above. Troop 407 of Hay esville was in need of a U. S. flag and unable to buy one. The troop approached 'Buck' Martin, commander of the VFW Post to see if they could consider this request as a project. Mr. Mat 'in presented the project to the VFW who voted to adopt the project. They purchased a beautiful flag with stand and presented it to Troop 407 at a meeting of the VFW Post. This is one of the many reasons behind the progress Scouting has made and will make in our district. Scouting urges the communities of the district to come and learn more about us, and help Scout ing to help you. The next dis trict court of honor will beheld February 18, at 7:30 p. m. in the First Methodist Church in Murphy. JF6 *' .s . * $1.29 69C Selecto I lb Pkg.
