C. WALTON ALLEN, SR.
Whereas on October 8, 1926 it[
pleased the Great Architect of thq,
Universe, who doeth all things well,
to call unto himself our beloved
brother, C. Walton Allen, from this
transitory existence to that which en
dureth forever;
Therefore be it resolved:
1st. That in the taking away of;
Brother Allen the community has lost ,
an exemplary character, whose ab
scene we mourn, and whose place in
our hearts be filled only by the rec
ollection of his kind natare, his many j
virtues and his nobility of character;
? 2nd. That in the death of Brother
Allen, Sylva Lodge No. 513 A. F. &
A M., has lost one of its truest mem
bers, a good man, and a true mason.
3rd. That when we grieve over our
great loss, we submit to the will of
him who doeth all things well, and
we commend his spirit to the God
who gave it. We are confident he is
resting from his earthly labors here.
4th. That we extend his bereaved
family our sincere sympathy in this
their hour of grief, with the assur
ance we will be ever ready to extend
to them sympathy and help when
needed.
ly, 5th. That a copy of these resolu
tions be spread upon the records of
| this Lodge, a copy sent to the be
| reaved family, a copy sent local pap
! ers, and Orphans Friend and Masonic

Atlanta* Ga., October l?-"Not
Magic ? -Just Mind and Muscle" is!
the title ot' an advertisement of the
Southern Railway System, appearing
in the October issues of a number of
leading magazines with nation-wide
circulation. This is the first of a se
ries of advertisements to be run by
the Southern for the purpose of tell
ing the story of "the South 's wonder
ful progress and present day oppor
tunities to people living outside the
South. r , <?
These advertisements will appear
in -publications having a combined
Simulation of more than 9,000,060 in

erary Digest, Forbes Magazine, Re
view of Reviews, World's Work,
Harper's, -Golden Book, Scribners,
Atlantic Monthly, Rational Geogra
phic, American Magazine, Nation's
Business. ';i \ **
The text of the first advertisement
reads as follows:
"The Sou ih? the nation 's Winter
playground ? is setting n,ew high |
marks in the story of American
achievement. For, notable as are the
South 's friendly climate and genial
hospitality, it is on her farms and in
her workshops of industry that these
marks are being made.
"In the last twenty five years the
value of things made in the South has
increased fivefold; and the value of
tilings grown fourfold.
"Such "growth and progress sug
ests the magic wand, but it is the
magic of mind and muscle ? of hard
work intelligently applied. The
people of the South are making good
use of the rich- and varied resources
that nature has bestowed upon them.
% ' ' But the industrial and agricultur
al progress of the South is still in
the first act. The years of greatest <
opportunity and achievement lie
ahead.'.'
In eaeh advertisement it is stated |<
that the Development Scivica <jf the 1
Southern. Railway System will be glad j 1
to aid in securing industrial, farm
or home sitej in the South for thoso I *
desiring them.

BOOST OUR APPLES
t!
Henderson ville News.
Henderson county, even all West- 1
crn Carolina, should initiate and ob- '
serve "apple week." We observe ev
ery oth?r kind of a day or week thai;
the propagandists can hatch out hut
thus far wo haven 't developed any
propaganda to take care of the mil
lion or more bushels of apples in
Western Carolina, where they grow
as fine as nail be produced anywhere.
Henderson, county alone has an ap
ple crop eonesrvatively estimated ut
one hundred and fifty thousand bush- ' j
els.. The fruit growers are not in ai(
position to economically take care of'<
the unusually large crop. Production
has outgrown the marketing end. Co- \
operation has been shown it^ econo
mical production but this is only a
circumstance to what will eventually
be required in storing an,d marketing.
The fruit growing possibilities of
Western Carolina have only been
dreamed* about. The product is famed"
far and wide for color, flavor, size
and general character. Production is
en the increase and quality is im-j
proved yearly. During the past year
about forty five thousand trees were,
sprayed by Henderson county or-j
ohardists.
Western North Carolina should eat'
more of this king of fruits. The ap
ple possesses a food content that
should ,;five it a more prominent plac-i
in the dietary of the average family.
The apple needs its propagandists and
with the view to stimulating more
general use of the apple The News
has arranged to run a series of prac
tical cooking recipes that should prove
helpful in converting some of our
abundant fruit crop into palatable
and wholesome foods.
ONE COMPLETE VACCINATION
FOR DIPHTHERIA ENOUGH
/
There has been, brought to my at
tention the considerable scare in cer
tain parts of the county concerning
reported Diphtheria., As health Offi
cer of Jackson county I am taking
advantage of this scare to tell you
where your children stand in the fight
for eradicaiton of diphtheria.
If your child was vaccinated in the
campaign against Diphtheria four" (4)
years ago it is practically safe for
life and I woilTd not advise re- vacci
nation, of every child for Diphtheria.
I am quoting below statement
from the North Carolina State Board
of Health's Magazine which is en-(
tirely dedicated to the eradication of.
Diphtheria in the October 1926 edi
tione page nine is as follows:
--"When the Toxin Antitoxin isjn
jected underneath the skin it causes
nature' to immediately begin produe- j
ijig in the system a natural anti-toxin.
This natural antitoxin is produced
very 'slowly and one injection is gel
?? ? " . 1 1 ? , ? v
dom sufficient to cause nature to pro
duce enough Antitoaa^o
protect the child. It usually takes
three of these injections which are
given at intervals of onfe week. After ;
this nature continues making in the
system this antitoxin for at least six
months. That is, it takes six months,
after- vaccination for the full effect
of the vaccination to be produced.
"Experience has proven that three
injections are sufficient to fully pro-i
teet 85 percent of those vaccinated.!
"Hence after 6 months the ' ehild
should have the Schick test. If it is
one of the 85 percent which is fully
ptotected then that ehild is safe the
rost of its life. If it happens to bo
one of the few where three injec
tions were not enough then that child
should have three more injections to
complete the immunization. ' '
"Diphtheria ean be prevented by
vaccination and the only reason chil
dren die of Diphtheria is because
parents fail to take this simple and
sensible precaution. " ,
"Most of deaths from this disease
occur in children un^Jer 10 yrs. of ag\
In fact most of the deaths are in
children under 6 years of age ? and
death In children over 10 is very
rare." I urge every parent in this
county to write the North Carolina
State Board of Health for this free
literature on all contagious diseases
and maternity eare. It comes every
month and a postal will. bring it. It
is like "Uncle Sam's" Big Gun. Ali
they want is your address.

BLAST AWAY FOG
\TO HELP AIRMEN
The nroblem of providing safe land
ing -conditions for airplanes during
foggy weather promises to be solved
by a new application of electricity de
vised by United States Government
engineers, says the North and South
Carolina Public Utility Information
Bureau.
A path 1,000 feet high and 2,000
feet wide has been cleared and kept
clear of fog by the new system, ac
cording to reports.
The method consists of a blast, of
air, drawn by an airplane propeller
through a series of corona screens
and then discharged against the fog.
The air, electrically charged by its
passage through the screens, causes
the fog to be precipitated. As long
as the device is in operation on the
flying field, drifting fog will disap
pear as soon as it enters the radius
of the electrical draft. ,
A large truck, upon which are
mounted the propeller, a dynamo,
transformers and screens, can be
moved about and placed, to eombat
the fog most effectively.
