In the Peachfcree area, Lee Sneed has lost two pigs and a w from dog bite, and Gerald Luther has lost five head of cattle for the seme reason. | "Mad dog" brings to mind a i vrtld animal tearing along the road with sariwa dripping from tta j mouth. That is a true picture of the extreme case. There are other phases of the disease. One s oiwn dog, a pet, may be in the early stages of the disease. Except that be is moody and dopy he may not show the disease. But his bite can infect one with disease. His teeth can scratch the skin on one s arm or face and the saUva will Uien gat into the nerves and rauee rabies H prompt action l? taken, the danger still can be averted. Action must be taken promptly. Retries develops slowly al^ not attract much attention but the germ can be working Tartly, get ting established. Rabies can be fatal The poison of rabies is a ? virus", a sort of germ. ? gets Into the nerve channels and travels up to the brain. It acts on the nerve centers. Should the saliva got on the skin it can be washed tff carefully and harm be avoid ed But. if there is a scratch or a wound, the virus gets orrio the nerve end and begins to work its way back to the brain. The Mttle scratch or cut mutt be washed at once and very "borough^ Miss Willie Lovingood, public health nurse of the Health Depart ment, calls attention to the danger that lurks in using wrong methods of treating wounds wtokft may be contaminated by saMvw. The rab ies poison is carried In the dogs saliva. M the saliva gets into any scratch or wound, it realties the nerves and becomes dangerous. The flrtt thing to do is wtstti the ncraibdi or the wound with plenty c? soap and water.

M Mendelssohn's Symphony No. IV Concert Feature The featured work of the Little Symphony of the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra in Murphy on March 5 will be Mendelssohn's Symphony No. IV, the "Italian," transcribed for the ensemble by Dr. Bdotn J. Striogham The First Symphony of Bizet, which pleased Little Symphony audiences last year, was also prepared by Br Stringbam. Both these works are traditional ly performed by orchestras of 70 to 110 players; and, thus, perfor mances of either work by a group the size of the Little Symphony are unique and the preparations of the scores present unusual prob lems for the adaptor, the director says. The transcriptions of the Bizet and the Mendelssohn sym phonies by Dr. Stringham were 'la labor of Iwe" by a thorough end experienced musician, and they were both created especial ly for Dr. B. J. Swalin and the iNorth Carolina Symphony Orches tra. It may be of interest to dis close the fact that the time devot ed solely to the writing Of the Conductor's score of the Mendels sohn Symphony was far in excess of 400 hours. Some further understanding of the task oan be gathered from a few statistics. Comparison of the personnel involvement of a full sized symphony orchestra and a special 24-plece ensemble shows greatly altered proportions. For instance, in the latter, the String section is reduced from the for mer on a ratio of nearly 6 to 1; the wood-winds more than 4 to 1; and the brass section nearly 4 to 1. Thus the process of adaptation really becomes re-creation. Walter J. Gray Succeeds Olson ANDR/EtWS?John J.

Methodists Plan For Evangelism Bishop Oosten Harrell r-es'ding bishop of the Western North Caro lina Conference, the Metnodist Church, is urging each of the ten Districts in the Oonferen-e to make evangelism the dii.-i objec tive this year. The Methodist Church, concern ed for the spiritual health of America, is a cooperating member of the National Council of Clurch es in its stress on evangeli-an this year. It believes the chief busi ness of the Church is to proclaim the good news of Christ, challeng ing all persons with a witness of Rs message. The WaynesviUe District, with 83 loaal Methodist Churches, has planned a Minister's Evangelism Spiritual Retreat to be in the Clyde and Lake Junaluska Churches, February 5-7, with this objective to consider. The program, under the direc tion of District Supt. Jack Huney cutt, is of interest chiefly for the ministers during the morning and afternoon sessions. Among the leaders for these sessions are: The Rev. H. G. Alien, superintendent of Lake Junaluska Assembly, dis cussing "The Religious Community Survey"; the Rev. Julian Holmes, pastor of Brevard Methodist Church. "Program of Visitation Evangelism"; the Rev. Paul IXrefc w-all "Statistics to Evangelism"; the Rev. W. T Medlin and the Rev. Horace McSwain, "Evangelism 1". the Church School and among the Youth." Former District Supt. C. N. Clark will speak on '^Pulpit Evangelism", and the Rev. Ernest Yountz will discuss "The Class for Church Membership." The Rev. Ralph Taylor, President of the Board of Evangelism of the Conference, and the Rev Lon Hayes will present the evangelistic program in the Conference and in Foreign Mis sions. The evening Services are to be inspirational, planned for laymen as well as ministers. Alt these services, to be held in the Clyde Church, the Rev.

The Chrringer family had uhwad cut that day and fl fere could not be > Tire destroyed the Timber Pro ducts Corporation mill building on Tennessee Street Sunday morning. The night watchman and plant fireman. Raymond Bryant, heard an explosive sound among a group cf electric switches, and fire im mediately Bashed along wire* ris ing towards the roof. Dust ex plosions spread the flames, and in a few minutes the long building was a blazing inferno. The watchman blew the mill whistle at 6:30, and the Murphy Fire Department was called. The glare and the sound of the explo sions brought volunteers who as sisted the firemen. The intense heat caused freight cars on the side track to burn. The mill building was doomed from the first.. It was filled with dry, highly inflammable wood, and tl,e building quickly burned to the ground leaving great piles of burn ing lumber over the area. Scat tered among the burning material hundreds of dollars worth of n.aChinery crashed into the ashes, much of it ruined, all of it badly damaged. | A bride building housing the bailer and a nrick sawdust hopper, caught fire repeatedly, but were quickly put out each time. Next to it, the brick-walled dry kiln, with heavy iron doors, defied the fire. The intense heat got through tile walls after a time, and smoke began to pour out of the cracks 'and along the cornice. I The building presented a diffi cult problem because it was filled with dry lumber stacked high, and, as soon as any opening was jjrVade in the walls or roof, air would flaSh an uncontrollable fire -Within the walls. ! The firemen worked skillfully and gradually got water into the building while retaining control ol the fire. The lumber was badly soaked and muoh charred, but some of it is usalble. -In the early stages Murphy Mill, across the road, was scorched by the intense heat Quick action by the firemen halted the menace without material damage. Several 'cottages adjoining the property I were smoking at times bik these were saved. Large piles of 1 am ber in the yard adjoining the mill were in danger, but the fire wan not allowed to reach them. 1 Arthur Heinrich, manager, edtt 1 mated the damage at over $100, 000 and said that the loss was partially cowered by insurance. 1 The main building was a one story frame construction formerly I occupied by the Cherokee Lumber Corporation but at present operat ed by the Timber Products Cor poration, owned by Mr. Heinrich land others. No information was I available as to rebuilding. About 40 men were employed with a 1 weekly payroll of approximately 51,500. They were manufacturing 'finished lumber, and pallets for [the U. S. Government, j Hoi coffee, soft drinks and. sandwiches were served to the firemen by a group of ladies.
