Tuesday night. of Miryor Gray and a group of repres entatives citizens with an advisory group of the TV A. who came to Mur phy from Knoxvllle. developed just one outstanding fact It was made cruelly evident that if Murphy is to be developed, recreationally. It will have to do the work itself ? and at its own expense. Hope of A'.d from the TVA loni! flickering more and more dimlv finally sputtered out. not to be re kindled All the TVA is willing to give -indeed all that it says it CAN give is advice The TVA delegation offered plenty of that. They unfolded a plan that was perfectly beautiful ? on paper. They envisioned a glorious develop ment of land in the vicinity of the Southern Railway depot. whereon was to rise a huge amphi-theater. The building was to be erected on filled-m soil which would merely have to be removed from mountain tops, and brought to the scene on trucks. The ugly mud flats which threaten to be ours fcr part of each year were to bo done away with by the simple expedient of dredging the Hiwassee | ur-.' V'.'Hey river.'.. and then construct ing dikes to keep the water in bounds. The cost probably would be around a million dollars ? maybe more? but that, diciiVt worry the TVA gentle man even a little bit. for it develop ed the cost would have to be borne by the town. Believe it or not. the plan met with NO enthusiasm from the Murphy eroiiD. The TVA gentlemen had maos and everything ? but the idea sound ed like the dream of a lotus eater. So the Murphy group shook their heads sadly, and then offered a plan of their own ? ar very, very mod est little plan. All they wanted was the use of TVA property directly across the highway from the Fair grounds. The town wanted to lay out tennis and shuffle board courts, and perhaps some croquet grounds . The town had teen assured, long ago. that any vacamt TVA land need ed for municipal improvement could be had for a nominal rental of $1 a year. Alas! that isn't true! It seems, now. that acquisition of any TVA property will require an act of Con gress. Also, even if Congress should grant permission, the TVA gentle men would promise only to tsrke the request "under consideration." It. will be recalled that when the TVA first came, we were led to be lieve that in addition to building a dam. great things were to be done for Murphy itself. > Now. it develops that all we are going to get from the TVA is a dam ? and a lot of mud flats. However. Murphy can't be lick-d' The dam smd the lake both are def inite assets, and we shall make the most of them. Also. Murphy Is goine to be beaut ified and given recreational facilities that will insure its rightful place in the sun! I Letter To The Editor E ii'tv t! ?

Wood and Matheson Fly Model Planes Edgar Wood and Weal MEttheson have been woiking several weeks on model airplanes which" were flown Sunday and Monday, of last week, in the large fields near Coalville. The planes are exact copies of large machines and have a wing spread of about five feet. They are propelled by small gasoline motors. Edgar Wood and various assoc iates have built scores of model planes in a worksfiop near the Wood home in Andrews over a period of sev eral years. Exact copies have been made of various popular planes. One or the models flown the past [ week was reported to have taken off I and to have made four or five per fect landings. Another crashed and was repaired and rebalanced by the young mechanics. Several persons were present at Coalville Sunday for the demonstration flights. o J. E. Hone- of Ashland.

Timely Farm Question* QUESTION: What is the closing date for carrying out sail-building practices under this year's farm pro gram? ANSWER: North Carolina farmers have until October 31 to cany out 1 soil building practices under the 1940 AAA farm program. This means that growers participating in the program must complete their soil building practices by the end of October if | they expect to receive credit on this year's program. QUESTION: How should apples be i graded? ANSWER: The first step comes at harvest time. It has been estimated that one-sixth of the apples discard I etf as culls were disposed of because | of rough handling at picking time, or rough treatment on their way to and in grading and packing sheds. A thorough knowledge of the U. S. standard grades is also necessary in classifying apples. Then. too. the fruit must be free from spray resi due. dirt, or any defects that will seriously detract from the appear i ance or keeping quality of the fruit. QUESTION : What preparations I should be made before pullets are : placed in the laying house? ANSWER: Before the pullets are moved to the laying house, the struct ure should be cleaned and disinfected tential menace since they cannot be thoroughly. If the house is not clean- cleaned thoroughly. ed carefully before the disinfectant . o is applied, maximum disinfection cannot be secured. One pound of i lye placed in five gallons of water i makes a very satisfactory disinfect- , ant. The house should have a good [ wood or preferably a waterproofed concrete floor.
