The dog- must be vaccinated every year, the state law sets out. Penalty provided in thr law for in terfering with the provisions of the act is n fine of $10 to $50 or 3(1 days in prison. All rabid dogs will be Idl - ed, and any unvaccinated dogs foun 1 running a* large, after a reasonable ♦ ime after the vaccination period has been set, will be killed, the law pro vides.

Lazy People Caused Lengthy Legislature Says Senator Ramsey The legislature really worked only three and one half days per week, ! and consequently spent much more time in the IMS session than was necessary. Senator Ralph H. Ram say told the Brevard Kiwanis club in meeting last Thursday. Senator Ramsey said that it was the usual custom for legislators of (he caster section to go home on Fri days and return to Raleigh on Mon days, with only a brief session of the two bodies being held on Satur day mornings for passage of strictly local bills by a handful of men. mostly from the western part of the state who remained in the capitol ever the week-end. Few sessions were held on Mondays, the senator said, making for a long-drawn out session. Eastern representatives and sen ators are in the majority in both houses, Mr. Ramsey said, hence there was no such thing as overriding them when such a matter as parsing rules tame up. Two thousand one hundred sixty hills went through the hopper of the legislature during the session, and naturally considerable time was re quired. Length of the session could have been rut at least one-third, in the opinion of Senator Ramsey had the fellows all had a mind to work at their job. Local Negro Wins Degree In College ATLANTA, Ga..

At a meeting held in the assembly! room of the county agent’s office1 Monday afternoon R. ' W. Shofner farm management supervisor for the! TVA in Western North Carolina,! and L. B. Altman, district agont, ex-, plained to the 30 or more farm rs; present the plan of expurding thei TVA farm program in Transylvania | There is a possibility of having a' great number of TVA demonstration i farms in the county provided thel farmers are intersted to the extent' that they will make farm plans and : request that their farms be made i demonstration farms. Farmers in the different commuir-’ tie? who are interested in taking ad vantage of the opportunity now of-j fered them, would do well to begin right now to make rough drawings j of their farms. These drawings, should shew the general outline of| the farm and the different fields j with the present crops, and crops do- • sired along with the present pasture j and future pasture plans. To make ( a long story short simply give your | crop rotation for the different. fields along with pasture improve-1 nieiit. These plans will first be acted upon by the already elected local j committee and then on down the lin". until passed or refused by the TVA . officials. It seems to me that the farmers; now have one of the greatest oppor- j Vanities ever offered in this county; to get assistance in developing pas-: tures, crop rotations, soil buildin," I and soil conservation. I truly hope j that a great number will avail them- ( selves of this opportunity.

WASHINGTON, June 28—North Carolina’s chance of becoming an active part of the Tennessee Valley Authority program at an immediate date was wrecked lest Thursday when the house appropriations com mittee struck from the TVA appro priation a $8,500,000 item for getting under way this year construction of the Hiawassee dam.
