It was pointed out that ad ditional buildings are needed at the high school for a lunch room, vocational building, and classrooms. Additional class rooms could be added to house the 7th and 8th grades during the construction of these facilities. Should this be done, only ten classrooms and lunchroom would be needed at the elemen tary school. Sijwrlntendent Holland Mc Swaln said "The Board decid ed the children here needed the best that could be provided and a better elementary school can be provided for six grades on the present site, while a better, more complete overall program for 7 through 12 can be provided at the high school site." SSI Agtat, Johuis Oa T1m Spot, la Alio Thaft Getting ahead of (he law is no easy task, but staying there Is even tougher. Just ask Charles Buchanan, 26, of Gastonla who found out the hard way Thursday evening. SBI Agent M. G. Crawford of Murphy tells it this way: "1 was driving home from Hendersonville when I heard a stolen car bulletin on my radio. The missing car was right In front of me. "The driver failed to pull over when I first tried to stop him near the airport at Andrews. He stayed ahead of me about four miles, driving up to about 80, and I finally pulled him over at Marble." Buchanan, he said, had been picked up while hitchhiking in Marion by Boyce Poole of WaynesvlUe. Poole was quot ed as saying he got out of the car for a minute In Waynea vllle and his passenger jump ed under the wheel and "took off." Buchanan Thursday night was In the Murphy jail await ing Haywood County officers who swore out a warrant charging him with larceny of an auto.

This Week's Scout Printed On New $20,000 Press Equipment Is 'Best' On Market Today The Cherokee Scout look * giant step forward this week when the switch was turned on Its new $20,000 American Type Founcters Chief 29 offset press In the last of several moves co give Far Western North Carolina one of the best printed newspapers in the nation and Cherokee County Its only locally printed newspaper. Ended as of now (Die scout management hopes and confi dently expects) are papers with blurred pictures and type . The offset process elimi nates the use of expensive en gravings for pictures. The charge for wedding, engage ment and advertisement pictures has been dropped. Pictures are welcome and will be printed free of charge. For die past six months, the Scout has been moving towards the day when the entire printing operation of the newspaper could be ac complished In the plant in Murphy. This week, that dream was realized as The Cherokee Scout once again became the only newspaper printed in Cherokee County. When it was decided to make the switch to offset printing, the Scout manage ment bought die very best. The ATF Chief 29 press is the latest, fastest, and most versadle piece of offset printing equipment on the market today for weekly news papers and job prlndng shops. Not only is this press capa ble of printing a first class newspaper, but will also pro duce high quality multi-color commercial printing wli,v a sheet capacity of 23"X29". During the transidon per iod, J us to writers were added to replace the Linotype machi nes for setting the news copy. Operators were trained and now Mrs. Sue Kilpatrlck, die Justowrlter operator, pro duces all the copy for The Cherokee Scout and die Clay County Progress in half the dme normally required be fore. Mrs. Kllpatrick is from Culberson. The headlines and ad vertisements are produced by the paste-up cold type pro cess. The Scout has been producing ads by this met hod for several months. We can print anything the eye can see. Clippings from news papers, magazines, and other publications are reproduced with remarkable clarity. Mats are no longer required. Miss Ruth Kllllan of the Hanging Dog Community set the head lines and ads for this week's newspaper. Backing these two girls up and checking the copy for er rors Is Mrs. Charlotte Kes ley, who proofs all copy and assists on production day In the layout of the pages. In the back shop, Hobart Mashburn of Murphy Is res ponsible for. the printing op eration of the newspaper. He's the man that runs the presses and sees that the paper Is clear and sharp. On the way to the press, one very Important stop is made In the darkroom where the complete paste-up Is photo graphed. Then an offset plate Is made from the page-size negative. Here we have a young man, Tom George, formerly with theScottsboro Newspaper in Scottsboro, Alabama. All these operations are being accomplished by young people who are In their early twenties. Three of the people are from Cherokee County and until about six months ago, had not worked In a newspaper of fice. The Scout has adopted a policy of training and hiring local people wherever pos sible In giving you the best local newspaper possible. High school seniors Phil Mattox and Jimmy Slmonds handle the mailing operadona. Thanks for being patient with us during the tranjldon period. Your sipport has been appreciated for without It we would not be this close to our goal - the bast local news paper far Western North Carolina has ever known.

Winkler, Spilling Water At Appalachla Dam Water Is shown being spilled by TVA at Appalachla Dam. This is the first time TVA has had to spill water via the overflow gates In five years. During the time of maximum flood danger, water was stored at Hlwassee Dam and Appalachia. When this danger abated. It was necessary to move the water down river In the event more storage space was needed. The systems of dams in the TVA system contributes to flood control on the Ohio and Mis sissippi Rivers as two to four feet of water can be taken from a flood crest. The above photo 1* of Appalachla Dam, one of two TVA dams In Cherokee County. (Photo by Ricky Bagley ) Auto Bodily Injury And Property Damag< Rates Low In N. C. Based on figures recently received.
