Ferebee Named . . . iConlinurd from Front Pair) gineer. and was for a long time con nected with the U. S. Forestry ser vice. It was in this connection, -n fact that tie first came to Andrews. Thus tie brines to his new post not only a through knowledge of what must be done., but also a working knowledge of how to do it. how long it should take. and what :t should cost. Mr. Ferebee is .t native of Eliza beUt City: but has lired in Andrews for so many years that he regards hiiusWf and is generally 'egarded a* a native. FOR t A. M. ATHLETES ?

Prominent among his hopes, is a reaurveying. straightening and wide ning of tlie highway which leads to the Tennessee line and into Cnata nooga. A careful check-up is said to liave .shown that huge proportion of tou ( rist travel comes south from the middle west, driving through Memp ! his and to Chattanooga. From Chat tanooga. however, the road to this section includes a long stretch of un paired highway in Tennessee, joined with a dangerously curved and none too well paved stretch in North Caro lina. As a result, it has been learned that literally thousands of tourists, bound for the Great Smokies, shun that route, and go from Chattanooga to Knoxville. and on into the Smokies from there. Thus they never see Cherokee. Clay or Graham counties at all. Thhe Tennessee authorities sere said to have made arrangemnts to pave their highway immediately. Mr. Ferebee hopes to gi\* Cherokee county a wide, almost straight con necting road leading direct to Mur phy, Andrews, and on up through the j Smokies to Aslieville. Improvement of the highway from Topton on now is in progress and there is little more that can be done there. When the work is completd it will cut nine miles from the dist ance to Asheville. The new main art ery will entirely miss Sylva. Mr. Ferebee also is believed to have si'eral plans about road improve ments in both Clay and Graham counties particularly the latter wher? highway conditions arc bdly in need of improvement: and where good roads are especially essential be cause of the lack of railway fscilities. However, though his 'home coun ties" will naturally be Mr. Ferebee's chief concern, he also will enter upon his nw duties with a desire to improve highways throughout the entire Starte. Indeed Gov. Broughton in naming the new Board specified that every member should take 3 State-wide view point. "Twenty years ago. North Caro lina Highways were outstanding" Mr. Ferebee said. "People drove here from all over the United States to see them, and went home filled with envy. When they got back, they did something srhout their own roads, too! "Meanwhile. North Carolina has. to a large extent just been resting on its laurels. Many of our roads are outmoded. This is especially true , in the extreme Southweest section ' of the State ? which is our own. Be yond a little patching now and then, nothing has been done for them. I They are out of date. "Two-lane roads used to be fine, j Now, however, three and four lane highways are needed if youwant to ' get tourist travel. Also, while roads full of sharp curves may be great from a standpoint of thrills and scenery, they have very little appeal to the average tourist who not only wants to make speed, but also in sists on safety. I hope to see wider better roads throughout all the State ? and particularly in this sec ion. In naming the new Highway Board Gov. Broughton designated Law rence Benton Price, attorney and member of the State Board of Elec tions ars chairman. Baxter C. Jones, of Bryson City was named to fill the Elections Board vacancy left by Price. Other members of the High way Board are: First division ?

Tlie Electric department statement a cash income of *33,076. including a loan of $3,500, and disbursements of $17,5*23, leaving a CMh balance for the '.lrst period of S5.552 The Income of the second period for the electric department amount ed to $20,580. while expenses totalled $19,047, leaving a surplus of $1533. This surplus may not be used ex cept for retiring indebtedness or for operating expenses of the electric department, according to provisions whereby tlie citizens of the town are receiving low power rates. I f at any time the surplus reaches a super fluous total It is reduced through a reduction in individual electric power rates. Due to the restrictions placed on the operation of the electric de partment the division is reached be tween the two units of the town. The electric department is absolutely non-profit with no pos>iibllity of any of its income being used tor other departments of the town system.
