miff miff rob?? rnwtt Let's Work Together to Have a NEW HOSPITAL VOLUME 57 ? NUMBER 29. MURPHY, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1947. EIGHT PAGES THIS WEEK Swimming Pool Is Discussed By Association The Community Recreation asso ciation met Monday night to dis cuss plans for a swimming pool. H. Bueck reported the results of his meeting with the city Board which feels that the joint owner ship of property is the main draw bock to constructing a pool on the school grounds. The association voted to request a joint meeting of the county commissioners and the city board, along with members of the Recreation association and representatives of city clubs, to at tempt a settlement of the property question, after costs of construc tion and equipment for the pool have been determined. Estimates on costs of construction and the in stalling of a heating system are be ing requested. Outstanding problems in con nection with the proposed swim ming pool are: (1) whether the pool should be outdoor or indoor. (2) supplies of electricity and wat er, (3) the installing of a heating system, pumping equipment, and showers. Most attendants seemed to fav or an outdoor pool and expressed the opinion that admission should be charged to help pay costs of construction and operation. Leon Axley and Jack Barnett. representatives of the new recea tion club, which they state is to be a private organization operated by subscription of members instead of a community organization as pre viously reported, expressed inter est in the proposed swimming pool project. Young adults are encouraged by the association to select a night for using the association's recreation room.

GREEK Greer And Caldwell To Speak Here 14th For the purpose of promoting a good health program in this coun- j ty and to lay the groundwork for getting a county hospital in Chero- ? kee, Dr. W. A. Hoover, member of > the council of the North Carolina Good Health assoeiation, has invit ed Dr. I. G. Greer, director of Mills Home, Baptist Orphanage, Thomasville, president of the Good Health association in the state, and Harry B. Caldwell, executive sec retary of the association, Durham, to speak here on Friday. February 14 These two executives ot the state organization have accepted the in vitation. and the meeting will be held at 7:15 p. m. on the 14th in Murphy school auditorium. At a recent meeting of the Cherokee county Medical society, i the doctors in the county reiterated their former endorsement of the plan for a county hospital and pledged their support of the ef forts that are now being made. p Rev. Fred Horton Has Car Wreck The car of the Rev. Fred R. Horton was in collision with an other car near Blue Ridge, Ga., Monday, and Mrs. Horton sustain ed an injury to her right eye. Mr. Horton was uninjured, but the car was badly damaged. A car turned to the left of the road with out giving a signal, causing the collision, it is understood. SCHOLASTIC LEADER Harry Mauney, son of Mr. and Mrs W M. Mauney. who attends the Baylor School for Boys at Chattanooga, is among those ilsted on the Dean's List, denoting better than average scholarship, for the current six weeks period, accord ing to a recent announcement by Headmaster Herbert Barks. Legislative Activities In spite of the considerable ! i'bount of time spent on the sup plemental pay bill for the balance of the current fiscal year <as one observer put it, "finishing the work of the 1945 legislature"', the work of the 1947 session seems to be moving along at a better-than average rate of speed. Many of J the major administration and dc- ! partmental bills are already in the I mill and under consideration by j appropriate committees, and so far i the committees have been making good progress with them. Judging from the number of bills intro duced. this session is ahead of the 1945 session for a comparable per iod of time: at the end of the 21st legislative day. 80 bills had been introduced in the Senate and 201 in the House, for a total of 281, | as against 78 hills in the Senate land 156 in the House for a total of 234 for the same period in 1945 ? a little better than a 20' increase in speed. The apparently greater speed with which the General Assembly is go- J ing about its work does not neces- j sarily mean .of course, that this j session will be shorter than the last, nor that it may not even be a great deal longer. The fact that a greater number of bills have been introduced thus fai n.ay mean not only that there has been taster drafting at this session: it may also mean that the members of this As sembly have a greater number of different legislative ideas to pre sent for consideration, that the total number of bills will be great er than before, and that conse quently more time will be requir ed to consider them. As for the work of the committees on the major pieces of legislation, the really controversial issues have not yet reached the open controversial stage. With respect to the contro versy over the pay of State em ployees in general and teachers in particular, a small preview has been afforded in the fight over the supplemental pay bill. As in the case of the number of bills in troduced. the supplemental pay bill fight may mean either a long er session than in 1945 or it may mean a shorter one than has been generally predicted: it may fore shadow a long, hard struggle over the biennial appropriations bill, or it may have served to demonstrate the relative strength of opposing I viewpoints with the result that the committee may be able more quick - I Iv to report out a bill which will command the majority support of both houses. There are, of course, many other important and highly controversial matters to be disposed of before adjournment sine die can be pro nounced There is the medical care program in general and the 4-year medical school and teaching hospital at Chapel Hill in particu lar. the proposed increase in the "Post War Reserve Fund" by the adition of $9,300,000 from the cur rent General Fund "surplus" 'tied in with such issues as teachers' pay. the medical care program and cor porate franchise tax reduction), and certain items in the budget revenue bill, among others. Brew ing are such controversial meas ures as one which would provide for a State-wide referendum on the sale of intoxicating beverages. 'On the same day that the Allied Church for the Abolition of the Beverage Alcohol announced from its meeting in Raleigh its inten tion to draft and have introduced a bill providing for a State-wide liquor referendum, the representa tive from Catawba County intro duced a bill to provide by the electorate of Hickory on the ques tion of the operation of liquor stores in that city which is ap proximately in the strategic center of the politically "dry" part of the State.) And on Wednesday there was dropped into the hopper a bill designed to bring to a head a long heralded fight. SB fi6 (introduced simultaneously in the House as HB 133). entitled simply "A bill to be entitled an Act to create the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Com mission." would abolish the Divis ion of Game and Inland Fisheries of the Department of Conservation and Development and take control over game and amateur fishing from the Department of Conserva tion and Development and vest it in a newly created 9-man guberna torially appointed "Wildlife Re sources Commission." The State's Nimrods and Isaac Waltons seem overwhelmingly in favor of this "bill of divorcement," while the Continued on page four Club Members Will Study Food During February February Home Demonstration club schedule for February is as follows: Tuesday, February 4.
