Murphy Spot Lights
Prevent Plane Wreck
BY POLLY HICKS
ANDREWS ? Lloyd F. Best,
pilot, and S. Waller Anderson, a
passenger, the latter the manager
of Miller's Department store in
Knoxville. had the time of their
lives in this general section from
eight until eight-thirty o'clock on
Sunday night. Best, a trained
pilot who had flown and had acted
as an instructor for flying B-24s
and B-29's for three years, with
Anderson the owner of the new
Ercoupe plane, had left Chatta
nooga around 6:30 to flv back to
Knoxville from which city they
had flown over to Chattanooga
that afternoon. Strong winds blew
them off their course, and with bad
Heather they lost the Knoxville
Radio beam, and suddenly found
themselves lost, with a supply of
gasoline good for forty minutes.
Murphy residents surmised
that the plane was in distress after |
the plane had cleared the tree
tops in several unusual flights.
The fliers attributed their lives to
a quick-witted taxi driver and the
ambulance of the Ivie funeral
home both of which were equipped
with powerful spot lights which
they turned vertically so as to
signal the men in distress. Mean
time some thoughtful person called
Robert Heaton in Andrews and
others familiar with the Andrews
Murphy Airport. Meanwhile the
taxi and ambulance were leading
the plane to the airport a dozen
miles away from Murphy. By the
time the plane arrived fifty auto
mobiles on either side of the land
ing field had flooded the field with
their headlights so that the dis
tressed plane and the frightened
men were able to make a perfect
landing.
Robert Heaton, a trained pilot
liimself, acted as good Samaritan
and brought the airmen to his
home for the night. The following
morning after one of the men in
sisted on the privilege of saying
the blessing, they resumed their
journey to Knoxville, little the
worse for their harrowing experi
ence, and with a stronger feeling
for their Maker and greater love
*?r their fellow-man.

Murphy Trips
Hayesville 20 To 0
BY WALTER CARRINGER
Before a large Thanksgiving day
crowd, the Murphy Bulldogs took
the -measure of the Hayesville
Blue Devils 20 to 0. For the second
time of the season, the Bulldogs
had things pretty much their own
way with the Blue Devils, though
it did not look that way at the be
ginning.
Green, first string quarterback,
who is playing his first year of
football, led the scoring, going
across for two of the tallies and
passing for one extra point. Green
set up the first touchdown in the
third quarter by a brilliant 55 .
yard run that put the ball down on |
the Hayesville 3. On the next play
he bucked over for the score.
"Bull" Davidson hit the line for
the extra point. Later in this
same period, Green set the stage
for the next score by racing 20
yards around end to the Blue Devil
5, from where he smashed over for
a touchdown. The extra point was
no good here. Hughes, who has
been alternating at end and back
this season, intercepted a pass late
in the last quarter and returned
to about the Hayesville 16. Hughes
hit the line three times for the
score. This may sound absurd, but
you'd be surprised at the resembl
ance of Hughes playing on this
pass interception and two runs to
that of Trippi of Georgia. If you
don't think so, just watch him on
the 13th when Murphy plays An
drews and next year on the local
field. He's been one of the most
valuable players on the squad this
year, and received about the least
credit. James is probably the
hardest runner on the team and
one of the fastest. His fellow play
ers say he is the most vicious
tackier on the squad and about the
hardest to tackle. Hughes is cer
tainly first string material over a
lot of the others from where we
sit. Getting back to the score,
Green passed to Picklesimer for
the extra point and the game end
ed 20 to 0.
Here's some statistics of the
game. As before, they aren't ex
actly accurate but they are as close
as we could get them. First downs,
M-12, H-6; passes attempted. M-8,
H-13; passes completed, M-0, H-5;
yards passing, M-0, H-65: punts,
M-3. H-5: average yards punts.
M-30, H-35; penalties, M-10, H-25;
yards rushing, M-275, H-21. And
for individual yardage of the Bull
dogs, Davidson carried 10 times
for 54 yards. Green 12 for 96.
Picklesimer 10 for 64, Alexander
4 for 38, Rogers 1 for 2. Brendle
2 for 5, Hughes 3 for 16.
Mr. and Mrs. Dale Lee returned
Sunday night from New Orleans
where they spent Thanksgiving
with Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Ward.
Mrs. B. W. Whitfield and Mrs.
O. K. Erhart spent Tuesday in
Atlanta.
Cox Is Chairman
Of Polio Chapt er
Red Cross Is
Continuing
Service Overseas
Continuing service to American
troops abroad, the American Red
Cross today is participating in the
operation of upwards of 360 clubs,
rest homes, and other recreational
facilities for soldiers overseas, ac
cording to word received by Miss
Addie Mae Cooke, chairman of
Cherokee County Red Cross Chap
ter.
Miss Cooke said the Red Cross
is cooperating with the Army in
operating the recreational facili
ties under a new plan which is
carried in detail in a booklet,
"American Red Cross Overseas
Operations in World War II". The
booklet soon will be available to
the public at chapter headquarters.
Under the new plan, the Army
will supply quarters for club op
erations, furnish general mainten
ance personnel, and operate can
teens within the clubs; the Red
Cross will provide trained person
nel to conduct recreational pro
grams.
It is reported that from Decem
ber 1942 to June 30, 1946, Red
Cross had net expenses of $75,
709.353 in operating off-post and
on-post clubs, rest homes, and
clubmobiles.
Davidson's
Store Opens
Mr. and Mrs. John Davidson
have opened a "Tots to Teens"
shop in Regal hotel building with
the firm name "Davidson's", next
to Davis' Jewelers, and are carry
ing clothing and items for ages
from infants to young ladies.
The store is artistically deco
rated and has attracted much at
tention since the opening last Mon
day.
Mrs. D. L. Wells arrived in Mur
phy Monday from Wallace, to visit
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.
D. Townson till Christmas.
Dr. It. H. Cox was elected chair
man of the Cherokee county Chap- 1
ter of the National Foundation for |
Infantile Paralysis at a meeting of
the chapter held at the Henry
House Friday evening. Dr. Char
les Van Gorder of Andrews was
elected vice-chairman and Frank
Forsyth, secretary-treasurer.
Dr. Cox will be chairman of the
campaign for funds to be put on
here January 15-31, and is now ap
pointing committees to assist him
W. T. Teas of Andrews will head
the drive there.
The local chapter has been call
ed upon to raise a quota of $1,050
this year. However, the chairman
states that he hopes the county
will go far above that goal, as
there are obligations against the
chapter, for treatment of infantile
paralysis patients, that must be
met. For more than a year the
chapter has paid at the rate of $8
a day for the treatment of patients
afflicted with this disease.
One half of the funds received
go to the National office and one
half are kept in the county. Basil
O'Connor, national president,
states that in cooperation with the
1946 outbreak of infantile ana
lysis the National Foundation sent
to its chapters in the field more
than four million dollars in
epidemic aid through the end of
October. North Carolina received
a large sum from the Foundation
in the epidemic two years ago.
"Many of this year's polio pa
tients." Mr. O'Connor said, "will
require hospitalization and care
for a long period of time. The af
ter-care of these patients will be
more expensive that treatment in
the acute stage. The high cost of
epidemics points up the real need
for the services of public-spirited
men in the campaigns.''
METHODIST SERVICES
The sermon at First Methodist
church at 11 a. m. Sunday will be
on the theme: "The Must of Chris
tian Education." Sunday school is
at 9:45 a. m. Methodist Youth Fel
lowship meets, at 6:45. and evening
worship is at 7:30. There will be
special music at both the morning
and evening services. At prayer
meeting Wednesday at 7:30 the
men will render special music.
Hiwassee School Cafeteria Gets
Grade A Rating By Inspectors
HIWASSEE DAM ? "A credit
to any of the larger rural systems."
"Better than anything that I've
seen in a school of like size in
North Carolina."
Such are the comments that
have been made regarding the
cafeteria at the Hiwassee Dam
School.
The Hiwassee school is proud
of the grade "A" rating accorded
its cafeteria recently by state and
tederal inspectors who practically
"turned the place upside down"
in the process of checking the sani
tation and food service of the local
unit and found it well above the
standards required. Mrs. E. Carl
Suit is the supervisor of the cafe
teria and is assisted by Miss Gypsy
Allen. Mrs. Nina Jones, Mrs. Eva
Martin, and Mrs. Thelma Terry,
all of whom live within the Hiwas
see school community.
Much of the equipment is war
I surplus material purchased from
the U. S. Navy when the local
navy unit was deactivated last
spring. The major pieces of equip
ment purchased were an electric
range of the hotel type, a large
I steam table, and two eleetric re
frigerators. one of which is an 8
section reach-in wall box. The
other is a walk-in box refrigerator
designed for the keeping of fresh
ly killed veal or beef. Without
such equipment for the proper
cooking, serving and storage of
food Mrs. Suit says that she could
not operate the cafeteria on the
budget set up by the local school
and the federal aid which qualify
ing school cafeterias receive.
Mrs. Suit and her assistants
serve an average of two hundred
seventy-five to three hundred
lunches each school day. These
lunches are balanced according to
federal standards to contain the
proper carbohydrates, proteins or
protein substitutes, fresh vege
tables and fruits, and a half pint
of grade "A" whole milk. The
pupils pay seventy-five cents per
week for this service.
The parents and patrons of the
school are invited by W. B. Thom
as. principal of the school, and by
Mrs. Suit to visit and inspect the
cafeteria at their convenience and
pleasure.

a total ol 3346 persons contacted
the Murphy local office . During
the month of October 4612 appli

this number 784 were applications
filed for work by War Veterans.

job. thus reducing claims for un
employment compensation.
