Good Publicity Murphy and this area are receiving some fine free publicity this summer, in newspapers throughout the state, since Bill Sharpe, director of the State News Bureau, Raleigh, has visited here a few times recently and written stories on our fishing and other recreational facilities, sending them to hundreds of publications. This week the story appearing on our front page, on the fishing in TV As lakes, will be pub lished in many papers of the state. Commendation Murphy Lions club is to be commended for undertaking the sponsoring of an agricultural fair this fall. The club has a reputation for tak ing the lead in all community activities, 'and its interest in furthering the development of the city park with funds realized from the fair will be appreciated by the whole section. People of the county who have products for which premiums will be offered at the fair should start making plans now to get them to the fair. in 1943 and 1944 no fair was held in Mur phy, because of war restrictions on travel and the lack of time. I he Government puts its ap proval on small agricultural fairs this year, stat ing that the public will have to be satisfied with their county fairs, as no state and big city fairs will be held. In The Minority Group The authorization of 1,244 miles of new routes to the airline networks during the first five months of this year brings the total number of miles of routes over which the domestic air lines are scheduling planes to 64,181, an all time high. If Cherokee county constructs its airport soon, we will be included in some of the new routes being established, in all probability. Having a local airport is a MUST if we are to claim the progress and development that is in sight for our territory. Of the 3,076 counties in the United States. 1,635, or 53 percent have one or more airports. The 412 urban places of 25,000 and up have 602 airports. Of the 1 40 metropolitan districts there is an airport for every 80 square miles. There are 438,585 residents per airport for cities of over 500,000 population. We are in that 47 percent minority that is without an airport. May the 1 946 news re leases list us among the majority! A series of experiments which will increase the safety factors of flying in instrument weath er, especially in zones of traffic saturation around busy airports is now being conducted by the Civil Aeronautics Administration. In these tests the CAA is using 1 0 carloads of radar equipment loaned them by the Army and Navy. Two of the main objects of the research are the perfection of a screening device to allow the Control tower to visualize the actual position of "WASHINGTON OF THE WEST" It was largely poe to the valor and diplomacy OF COLONEL GEORGE ROGERS CLARK THAT THE UNION BEGAN ITS NEW LIFE - NOT ONLY WITH THE TERRITORY OF THE THIRTEEN ORIGINAL STATES - BUT WITH ALL THE LANDS WEST OF THEM TO THE MISSISSIPPI.

If you delay until Fall, you may have to wait on labor, materials or delivery for weeks. 2. Plan to spend your vacation helping short-handed farmers get maximum food pro duction. Farm population is now at a 35-year low, and every ounce of food is needed. See your county agent or farm employment office. 3. Return to work on the railroads if you are an experienced railroad worker. Your help is needed to move troops and supplies to the West Coast. Apply at your local U. S. Employ ment Office.

Peaclvtree 4-H Club mem ber for writing the best essay on "What the Farmers Federation Co operative Is Doing to Help the Farmer." Cherokee county families are lealizing more and more the value and importance of raising and cultivating a home supply of small fruits. Mr, and Mrs. E. C Swain of Postell have just har vested a nice supply of red rasp berries. Mr. and Mis. W. C. Everett of Andrews were delight ed with their crop of Boysen ber ries. W. O. Almond, of the Brass town community, has done an ex cellent Job of improving his farm since becoming an area demon stration farmer in 1940. That year Mr. Almond produced 157 bushels of corn on 35 acres . In 1944 he produced 443 bushels on 16 acres. He stated that in ad dition to this increase in yield of corn, his pasture is worth more tlian twice as much to him and that his meadows are producing much more and better liay. FSA Offers Medical Program The medical care in rural areas is becoming a serious problem due to the fact that so many of the doctors have been called into the service. states Ernest P. Ar nold. county FSA supervisor for Cherokee and Clay counties. Realizing the seriousness of this situation the Farm Security Ad ministration has worked out an over-all medical service program for the farmers on the Farm Se curity program whereby FSA clients may secure hospital insur ance for a small sum. This program will be explained in detail at a meeting at W H Buchanan's home, on the road from Brasstown to Martin's Creek at 10:00 A. M. Friday, July 20. to which all FSA clients in Cherokee county are invited and at A H. Rogers', near Hayesville in Clay county at 10:00 A. M. Thursday. July 19. to which all Clay county FSA clients are invited. The Farm Security Administra tion have established the policy of lending money to any eligible low-income farmer who does not have money to pay for his health insurance in advance. The scar city of doctors has created sucli an office demand on the doctors left that it is difficult for rural families to receive medical atten tion in their homes. In fact, in C lay county, there is only one re :ired doctor upon whom the citi zens of Clay county can depend for medical at:"ntion. and he does not respond to calls at night, and ?heie are times when he is unable to render service during the day. Mote and more rural families who have sickness of any serious na ture at all are being required to come to hospitals where they can receive the necessary attention. Anyone interested in medical care for rural families is invited tc attend either of- the two sched uled meetings. PERSONALS Miss Mary Fiances Swanccy of Marietta.

There have been miracles of production in this war, including miracles in food production, but hard work is still ahead, says Sec retary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson. The national wheat goal for 1946 has been set at 67 to 70 mill ion acres for harvest, or full pro duction. Dealers and manufacturers no longer will be required to obtain special application forms from farmers before making deliveries of fertilizer.

M d., spent the night at Moore land Heights tourist court. 0 0 0 IN THE MAIL this week have been some expressions of com mendation of the SCOUT that we sincerely appreciate. Among them are: Pfc. Harold H. Lovingood. who is in Germany: I want to express my thanks to you for sending me the Cherokee Scout. It surely has been a comfort to me. When I didn't receive mail or felt home sick. I always had the SCOUT. All my friends read it and say it couldn't be beat because it gives you all the news from home. I have received every copy of my subscription. Most every copy was about 14 days old. I think it can't be beat for a c unty paper. May I hope you greater success." ? 0 0 0 PAULrNE KINDI.EY i Mi s. Dutch Kindleyi, from Aubuindale, Fla : We really do enjoy the SCOUT (iown here. It keeps us from be ing so homesick for Murphy. Sev eral of my friends down here have looked at it and they all say it is a real nice paper for a small town. You should see the Aubuindale Journal. It's one large sheet c'oubled in the middle and most of it is ads. It w >uid not begin I t > compare with the SCOUT ". MRS. RALPH MOODY, from Raleigh: "We thoroughly enjoy the SCOUT every week, and immedi ately after we have read it. I send il to one of my nephews, who is now overseas. Therefore, we can not afford to miss a single copy of our home paper, which is bet ter than it has ever been before." LION RALPH TAYLOR ex pressed a desire to become Mur phy's poet laureate at the Ladies' night banquet of the L.ons Club Tuesday night, offering the fol lowing verses as a beginning to ward reaching his ambition The first was used in connection with the 'unofficial i pinning of Five Star general pins on Joe Ray and H. A. Mattox. members f theclUi who are serving in the j-mj xh* latter was a toast to the used as a follow-up of the jr?t come and response. ? ? ? To Mattox and Ray m -ynbers oC the army of the aood ^ U. S. A. Mattox will rise for h\ statue towers almost to the skm. Ray will strut with the b?t we know, though he is a little short and low. To these soldiers of the Lions Club of Murphy. N. C we proud, ly pin five stars upon tJw?e generals to be. So where'er you go. Generate Mattox and Ray. To lead in this awful fray. We will hold you in our hearts each day, And pray that you may .xwi come home to stay. * ? ? Oh. a Lioness the greatest o( all contradiction; f he's an angel in truth, a demon in fiction: She is afraid of a cockroaci. ,<ieH scream at a mouse. But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house. She'll take a Lion for better, she'll take a Lion for worse. She'll split his head open and then be his nurse, Then when he is well and caa get out of bed. She'll pick up the teapot and throw at his head. A Lioness is faithful, deceitful. Keen-sighted and blind. She's crafty, she's simple, she's crude and she's kind. She'll lift a Lion up. and throw a Lion down. She'll call him her kins. ,md make him her clown You think she is this, and find she is that. She'll play like a kitten ani bite like a cat: But, Lionesses, we love you in June or December. And ever in our den. you are the QUEEN, remember. 4^ JOE WAS A FINALIST IN NEW YORK CITY'S GREATEST AMATEUR BOXING and skating Tournaments ? ^N, THE GOLDEN GLOVES AHD THE ^jL SILVER SKATES ?AND CAPTAIN W>i OF BOTH TRACK AND FOOTSAU WL \ TEAMS AT FORDKAM P REP. ^JfrK r ? or ? m a NAvy fighter pilot; JOE HAS AlREAOy GOT 4 JAP PLANES TO HIS CREDIT- 3 SHOT DOM* /V C/V?
