A PROCLAMATION This year the economic emer gency lend* special importance to tHo annual Roll Call, or mem bership campaign of the Amer ican Red Cross. The Red Croii is the recog nized relief agency throughout the Nation. It it chartered by Congress, headed by the Presi dent of the United States, and accorded the co-operation of the Federal government. In the un employment crisis it has borne a great relief responsibility. It has been the authorized medium for distriKution of Farm Board wheat and cotton to those in need of flour, livestock feed and cloth ing. . Its volunteers have been unstinting in devotion to the task of collecting and distributing sup plies, and in production of fin ished goods from materials. Hun dreds of thousands of gardens have been planted from Red Cross seed. In 2,200 communi ties Red Cross Chapters have participated in unemployment re lief work. To unemployment have been added 95 disasters calling for Red Cross assistance in the pe riod of one year. Drought in the Northwest, tornadoes in the Southeast, floods in the central South and a variety of other ca tastrophes have entailed mighty burdens on the organization. Notwithstanding all the mani fold special calls, such regular Red Cross services as life saving, first aid, public health nursing and home hygiene, assistance to veterans, and Junior Red Cross have been carried steadily for ward. Right here in Murphy and Cherokee cr?unty, the accomplish ments of the Red Cross have been great. Approximately 655 fami lies have been aided by our local Cherokee County Chapter of the Red Cross. In addition to tbe funds, supplies and necessities furnished by our own people, the following outside aid has been received from national headquarters and distributed in the county during the past year by the county chapter: 1600 tt>? of dried yeast. 1080 bags of flour. 177 dozen half-gallon fruit jars.. $460.00 worth of garden seed. 50 made garments for chil dren and adults. Our debt of gratitude is great. Our present and prospective de pendence is impressive. Every one who is able to take out mem bership, as a good citizen and a patriot should do so. As mayor of Murphy, N. C., I therefore, proclaim the Red Cross Roll Call, November 11 to 24, a mat'er of prime civic duty, ar-d ure?? our citizenship to lend its heartiest support. (Signed): V. I. BUTT, Mayor Murphy, N. C. REGISTRATION !

BFAR FVADFS huntfrs aftf.r 3 HOUR BATTLE The s'cry of i thrr^ hrnr firht with a boar out in W T?-llico moun tain-* was hrono'h to Mu'rnhy Thurs day moraine b** John Odell. one of the party of four who ha<i the bat tle with bruin. The partv is eomno^d of M*?r?nn Pimonds, Don Wither?r?oon John O'Dell and Andy Ha??, all of whom are more or le** emerienced hear hunter**. Mr. O'Dell resumed to town Thursday morning and left the others out in the mountains. According to MY. O'Dell'* story as told to ono of hi* fellow workers in the no11! office, the bear was jump ed Tuesday night and ihe chase was on for hours, until bo wa* finallv baved nt. the foot of a larre rock cliff in the laurel on Bob Creek in the Tellico mountains. The bear was a large one, and the fight lasted for three hours. One of the dogs was badly cut by the bear when he slapped him. It was esti mated to weigh between three and four hundred pound?. The story of the fight is to the ef fect that O'Dell and Simonds station ed themselves on top of the cliff overlooking the fight arena and fired eighteen shots al the bear from an automatic shotgun and high powered rifle, but failed to make a kill be cause of the difficulty and danger encountered in taking aim and at the same time keep from killing one of the dogs. Mr. Ha^s, who was said to have been armed with a large club, made hi* way to the foot of the cliff but failed to get an opportunity to get into the fight From all accounts of the fight, a regular small war was in progress while it lasted, and was one of the thrills that come during a lifetime. The bear finally escaped through the laurel.
