subject covered proper display of
merchandise in the store and the
importance of "eye catching win
dow displays". He stated that a
well thought out display to draw
a customer into the store should be
given major consideration, the
same as the time spent in purchas
ing goods. Also, he brought out the
fact that windows should be
changed often. Related items
should always be together and to
illustrate you would not display
bath soap next to detergent but
keep bath soaps to themselves as
well as the detergents. Where a
store has staple items bread for
example you would place it in the
store so that the customer would
view other items for sale and not
just buy bread alone.
Thursday (tonight) at 7:30 the
second session will be held and at
that time merchandising will be|
discussed, also advertising and its
relationship to salespeople and the i
presetting of merchandise.

Nail Over-Seas
Packages Now
Because of the increased m. til
ing of parcel-post packages to oth
er countries during the holiday sea
son and owing to long sea trans
its frequently involved and etc.
it is highly important that mail
ings of Christmas packages for a
broad be made as early as practi
cable to assure delivery by Christ
mas.
Also for Christmas mail for
armed forces, the period October
15 to November 15 has been de
signated for the acceptance of
Christmas parcels. The importance
of mailing Christmas parcels dur
ing the designated period can
tot be emphasized too strongly, the
?artier the better.
All parcels and boxes for over
teas transmission must necessarily
be of strong construction en ac
count of the great distance these
parcels must be transported and
the handling and storage tbey must
undergo. Addresses must be leg
ible and should be prepared in type
writing or ink. It is preferable
that the outside address be hand
printed directly on the wrappers
of the boxes rather than on labels
pasted to the wrappers, since lab
?is frequently fall off.

The Civitan Club received a sup
ply of Claxton Fruit cakes Mon

These delicious fruit cakes have
been on sale by them for the past
several years.
They can be bought in either 3
or 5 pound sues. You can place

ASC Committee
Election? ?
In just a few aays it will be elec
tion time Tuesday Oct. 23 ? in
every one of the 1X55 designated
farm communities in the state of
North Carolina.
These elections will give the eli
gible farmers in each of these com
munities an opportunity to vote
for the farmer-committeemen they
want to administer the programs
of the Agricultural Stabilization
Conservation in 1957. Any farmers
is eligible who, as owner, tenant I
operator, or sharecropper, is par
ticipating or is eligible to partici
pate in any of the programs ad
ministered by the County ASC
Committee.
And now just a word about these
Committeemen, they are farmers.
They live in the community where
they are elected. They are elected
by their neighbors.
The delegates to the County
Convention where the County Com- 1
mittee is elected are farmers too. i
The members of both the Com- 1
mumty and County Committees
have to be farmers to be eligible. !
The Committeemn administer
the Agricultural Conservation Pro- j
gram. This program provides di
rect assistance to farmers to help
them carry out soil and water con- <
servation practices on their own ,
farm. It helps farmers to obtain '
seed and lime and phosphate for '
building up good pasture? for cov
er crops ? and green manure.
Federal cost sharing is provided
the construction of terraces and '
dams and for farming on the con
tour. These are just examples. '
There are a lot of other conserva
tion practices.
.And the Committees help farm
ers use Price Support Programs to
protect their market. They will ad
minister Acreage Allotment and
Marketing Quotas Programs on to
bacco, peanuts, wheat, cotton, and
acreage allotments on corn in cer
tain comities. They will also ad
minister both phases of the new
Soil Bank Program.
These are all valid reasons for
every eligible farmer to vote in the
ASC elections. Don't forget. Don't
let October 23 pass without casting
your ballot!

HAYESVILLE YELLOW JACKETS LOSE
TO MURPHY BULLDOGS 19 - 0
By BOB POTTER
In a none-too-exciting game-all
the more so after the Bryson City
thriller ? the Murphy Bulldogs
struck three times across the Hay
esville goal line last Friday night
on the Murphy field to outpoint
the neighboring Yellowjackets, 19
to 0. ,
After the exacitng. game with
Swain the week before, it was na
tural theB ulldogs should let down.
Neither in running nor blocking
were they up to their usual pitch;
though on defense they were more
themselves and held the Yellow- j
jackets to one lone first down un
til the last quarter in that period. :
Coach McConnell sent in several
substitutes.
Hayesville played a spirited
game against a team which was i
definitely its superior; and at times
the 'Jackets tackled with swift pre
cision. They cut the Murphy runn
ers down quickly on punt returns.
Frequent penalties marked the
game, Murphy being penalized
100 yards, and Hayesville, A
Coach Long had several Yellow -
jackets out with injuries, aad
Murphy's fleet back, John Morris,
was still side-lined with an ankle
injury.
Hie Bulldogs thrust for a touch
down early in the game, but wen
held scoreless the rest of the half.
Jodm and BurcfafMd, in sweepiag
m i mat carried the ban bayoad
Murphy's 30 yard line, but the
Bulldogs held, and Hayesville had
to punt. The Yellowjackets were
more alert on watching end runs,
and Murphy was unable to make
appreciable advance during the
quarter.
Early in the third period, how
ever, the Bulldogs after receiving
a Hayesville punt, started a march
on their 28 yard line and went the
distance. The Murphy forwards
were opening, and Jones Bobby
Morris and Odell carried for good
gains, Morris going over from the
four. Odell's kick was wide.
After the next kick-off Birchfield
set up and scored for Murphy. Af
ter Hayesville had suffered a 15
yard penalty the Bulldog quar
back intercepted a pass and went
to the visitors' 20 yard line. At the
opening of the fourth quarter he
went 18 yards on a fate pass for
a touchdown. O'deU booted the ex
tra point to make the score, 19 to
o.,
Later in the period Hayesville
made its on ty real drive of the
game, racking up five first downs
against a team with a goodly num
ber of second-stringers. They
tackled well, but wen out-charged.
Murphy braced, however, on its
10 yard line; and penalties also
set the 'Jackets back.
McChne and Barnard made good
runs for the visiters; and Henson
and Bradler were effective in the
tine.
