FAIR September 28th Set As Opening Day For Cherokee County's An nual Display Event One <?i the biggest and best car nival ? mpanies traveling: the American circuit today will furnir.h the midway attractions lor the an nual 'herokee County Fair, which open.- on Wednesday, September 2S:h.. f< -r four full days, it was an nounced by officials this week. Admission to the fair grounds this year will be free to everybody, and no money is being offered as prize- However, "ribbons will be award el instead. This course is taken this year by the fair officials on account of the depression and scarcity of money. All officials of the fair will serve without pay, and it is from the ca'rnival compayn that they hope to secure enough money to meet necessary expenses. La>t year the money of the fair Association, with the exception of one day's gate receipts, was caught in a bank tailure, and the premiums for la.-t year have not been paid. It is the plan of the association to pay these prizes in full, part of them probably next year. For t.his and other reasons, it was believed by th- association unwise to offer money as prizes this year and chariT'1 irate admission. The Krau.-c Greater Shows have been ?? infracted to furnish the amusements, and the association will have no apologies to offer to the {u n>ns of the fair this year as the wt il known Krause Greater Shows have the reputation of being one i" the best, and the only show in A 1 1 1 . ricn of its class and nature which does not allow any disgusting and immoral tented shows or exhib ition, and which dot s not carry any "controlled" gambteing concessions. All of its concessions are absolute ly lesi'imate, where prizes can be won by everybody each time they pla.\. according to advance infor mation given out this week by a i representative oi the show company. I "On \hc midway of the Krause | Greater Shows, the patrons of the j Chei\ kee County Fair can mingle freely and enjoy themselves with out fear of being "trimmed" or in sulted or seeing disgusting features that will hurt the feelings of the most. t . tidous person," W. C. Mur ray. advance agent for the amuse ment i 'i:r.any said in a statement whil in Murphy this week. Anu-tig the ninny new and novel' attrac: -:i- that will be presented on th ? midway by the amusement conip.u.y, is included Teska's Work ing \V< rid, said to be one of the nio.v: astounding and subtrb exliibi ion.? ever presented at the Cherokee County Fair. This attraction, built toy hand, composed of 7,000 working figures, has been declared a human masterpiece. It is valued at $25, 000 and is contracted to appear at the World's Fair at Chicago next year. The Dixieland Minstrels, com posed of 20 high colored entertain from t&e big vaudeville circuits of the country, include blues singers ! Coon shouters and buck and wing dancers. The Hawiian Revue will offer a company of .native Hawiian enter tainers and intrumentalists in their native singing and dancing, giving only clean entertainment which is sure to be enjoyed by everyone. Rainey's Monkey Circus is a riot of .fun Some of the funniest and smartest little actors of the monkey kingdom race around a track in Mtos, do wire walking, bicycle riding, and numerous other stunts. This attraction is pleasing to the giown-ups as well as the kiddies. And Jolley Joe, the fat boy, is waiting to see you all. He tips the scales at around 700, and is said to a ~reat entertainer. Princess Z-enobea, a brain-puzzl lnK illusion that has baffled many, will keep guessing once you see it. A big circus sid^-show, under a tog tented canopy, will have some and strange curiosties, alive and otherwise, as well several educat ional features appealing to young *nd old of all classes. One attraction you will want to is Snakonia, the strange lady a snake body. She is being talked about all over the country, *nd you will not foe satisfied until JL have seen her. The midway will offer four big ndmg devices and other fun making PParatus which will give everybody * Mod time. So begin preparing Discover New Scenic Loop From Murphy Col. and Mrs. Don Witherspoon and family, and Col. and Mrs. E. B. Norvell made a motor trip Sunday which was described as one of the most sceneic loops from .Murphy in this whole mountain region, and which is in reality a new one-day loop from Murphy through the Smoky mountains National Park into Tenn essee and back by way of Tapoca and Robbinsville. They went by way of Bryson City and the Indian Reservation and ove'r the new highway through the Smoky ?Mountains National Park, crossing the top of Eastern America at New found Gap. Here they took the route down Little River by Chimney T< p in Tennessee to Maryville, where they took the Knoxville route back by Calderweod Lake, Tapoca Lake, Santeetlah Lake, and Robbinsville. The route through the Smoky Moun tains was a little rough, but passable in (fry weather, and some sections of it was steep. However, they made it without a mishap, leaving Murphy after daylight and arriving back be fore dark. They registered 239 on the speed ometer, and made the trip leisurely, stopping at many places along the way to admire the scenery, of which none more beautiful exists in East ern America.

The contract wa- let to Frank l.aney, Scott Laney and Drew Tay- i kr recently by Don Withe rspoon, j agen " and attorney for the owners. ! All rails, fittings, etc., will be re- J moved to the company's property at Mifrphy and will later be sold. The j I big lumber mill of the company will j j al?o be sold sometime in the near ? future. Mr. Witherspoon stated that it was j the plan of :?ie pre-ent owners to J place p. r table saw mills out in the I timber boundary, cut the lumber on ! ihe ground and then truck it into t I Murphy. This method oi" lumber milling is now in use in Wautaga and j Avery Counties, and i- said to be! much more economical in operation ( than hauling the logs out of the . mountains to the mill on a railroad.

This pro tection is offered in conjunction with the North Carolina State Board of Health. Vaccination with typhoid vaccine has been one way of reducing the number of deaths and cases for the past eleven years. Three treatments are necessary. Take it. Your neigh bor may be careless. In 1931, 3,156 people in North Carolina had diphtheria, and 237 died. Over 50 per cent of those who had diphtheria were under five years of ape. Over 85 per cent of those who died of diphtheria were under six yea'rs of ape. A great part of tho expense of sickness and death of these children could have been pre vented by diphtheria vaccine. Every child between the ages of six months and ten years should take diphtheria vaccine. It has been shown by careful records that three doses will immunize 85 per cent of children treated. Three treatments of diphtheria toxin antitoxin, or two treatments of diphtheria toxoid. are neccfesary. Each is harmless, practically a certain ( now to "hook-up" the "Old Gray Mare", salvage to old "Tin Liz" or what have you ....pile on something to exhibit, gather up the wife and all the kiddies and come the Cherokee County Fair durinpr the four days beginning Wednesday, September 28th. | preventative, and almost painless.

Miss Livingston will be in this county a week or more longer, and then will go to Clay county. T.he Bureau of Medical Inspection of schools and teaching health in schools, was begun after the World War, when it was found that so j many nun were unfit for service on account of some physical delect which likely would have been remed ! ied early in life. The defect commonly found in this infection. Miss Livingston says, are nutiition, posture, hearing, vision, teeth, throat, breathing, skin and others. T.he defects most frequently found are in teeth, tonsils and adenoids lhfertive teeth and disease! tonsils and adenoid often cause so many olh? r defeets as p or vision, poor hiarini;, po r nutrition, heart trouble ki.iney trouble, rhemuatism, tuber- j culosis, etc. ? "In this particular country," Mis Livingston -aid, **therc seem to be more defective ton-il- and ade noids than teeth, and this can b? attributed to the splendid dental service the country has had, every three years, fjom the state school dentist, for the past ten or twelve year--. It is very noticable in schools he has visited. Then again, there is no throat specialist near, const- , quently most chilti'ren who had dis eased tonsils in the first grade, still have them in the seventh grade. Some have had their tonsils removed and sonu .have had their eyes ex amined by specialists and glasses lil ted. Generaly. children with poor vision think other children see as thty Jo; when the test shows they can net see so well, and they get glasses, a new world is opened to them. "i)r. rarroit, suue neaun omcer says: "Public health work is a pte venlative agency, not a. curative op.e. In beginning his larger program last year, &e said, "We are not going to have a battle, but a war against disease. The state board of health wants the cooperation of all the one hundred counties, each county to be a unit to itself, and each school in cach county to be a unit to itself." "The county superintendent, the local organizations, Parent-Teachers associations, welfare workers, and clubs, should work with the doctors, dentists and nurses, to have defects pointed out and remedied. "Dr. G. H. Cooper, director, divi sion of preventive medicine pays: "When people are +Jiorougliiy con vinced that it is worth more to call a doctor for health examination or for vaccination, than to call him to treat a disease, they will be as eager to call him for the forme'r as the lat ter. "Teachers and parents a're realiz ing, as never before, that a child's .health determines largely, his prog ress in school. Dr. Allen State Su perintendent of public instruction, says we spend $1,000,000 yearly, on repeaters. He ?ays health is the first objective of education." ty to keep a good size lumber opera tion going for five to ten years. The salvaging of this lumber rail road will be the means of furnishing employment for a good many men, and have much to do with relieving [the depression and unemployment in the county.
