Mayor Clement Asks
Fowls Be Confined
Mayor Verne Clement yesterday
urged chicken owners to confine
them and not permit them to raid
and destroy the gapdens of neigh
bors.
Mr. Clement said that the city
authorities had recently received
several complaints concerning the
damage done by chickens which
had been permitted to roam at
large.
“We want our people to raise
chickens, of course,” Mr. Clement
said, “but they should show some
consideration for those who are
raising Victory gardens. It is a
patriotic duty, where possible, to
have both, but this is often im
possible where chickens are not
confined.”

TRANSYLVANIA
...and Greyhound is part
of its fighting power
Transylvania County is America in cross-section — fighting
mad and fighting hard, doing its level best to back up our
troops across the seas with the home-front cooperation they
must have.
All of us in Transylvania County are
putting the drive that counts behind
the particular jobs that are ours to
do—(whether it’s sending our men to
the colors—building their guns and
ships and planes—raising their food
and clothes and smokes — buying
bonds—cr moving manpower.
Transylvania County men and women,
loyal Greyhound employees, are busy
keeping our buses rolling to help keep
our war effort in high gear. They’re
driving the buses—keeping them me
chanically fit—conserving vital ma
terials—giving wartime travel infor
mation—handling baggage.
As our share in this country’s joint
war program, Greyhound is taking
our local boys to induction centers
—and bringing them back home from
training camps on well-earned leaves.
We are transporting our neighbors to
their vital jobs in war plants and on
farms. We are keeping essential travel
on the move—linking this county with
the other busy communities of the
South Atlantic states, where so much
of the Nation’s war activity is cen
tered.
Transylvania County is in this fight
to win—.we didn’t start the fight but
we’re going to finish it!
