DefenseCommittee
The National Defense Committee
for Jackson County, appointed
by the American Legion,
is composed of Dan Tompkins,
Sylva: T. Walter Ashe, Sylva;
Edward Bryson, Speedwell;
Thad Cowan, Green's Creek, and
Blaine Nicholson, Cowarts. The
duties of the committee are to
assist the State Department of
I Justice and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation in keeping down F
subversive activities, and to act
as liason officers between those
agencies and the' people. It is
especially desired that subversive
activities be suppressed, and fu
at the same time innoeent peo- en
pie be protected in their rights pe
from persecution, or from injury H<
by idle gossip. In other words, lei
the Legion proposes that true
Americanism be propagated and th
protected, that the civil rights of Ri
all the people be protected, in sa
this time of stress, and when pc
hysteria may strike in almost be
any locality, and at the same ta
time, that the un-American elements
and un-American activ- th
ities be entirely suppressed. The bi
people are invited to communi- W
cate to any member of this ul
committee, any activities that m
appear to be suspicious. But, it at
is clearly understood that no tv
communication will be given the
slightest consideration unless the m
writer signs his name to it. This dt
rule is made for the protection ea
the people and the Legion tfc
from anonymuos attack-However bi
a11 communications sent to the w
committee will be treated in the ti<
.strictest confidence. Nobody will je
know anything about it except
frie-eommittee, and, if necessary gl
tfre city, county, State or Fed- w
eral authorities. cl
The committee was appointed fc
after the Legion convention in in
HiSh Point, last week, accepted ai
the task, at the request of Gov- b<
einor Hoey and the Federal Bu- pi
rcau of Investigation. ai
Another, and perhaps the cc
m?st important task of the com- lil
nhttee, and the Legion in generah
is the propagation of true w
American and patriotic spirit A.
among the people, to build up b<
?Ur morale, so that we may be rc
able to meet any emergency fa
'-hat may arise out of the preset
world upheaval. . 0"*

START BULL FROG
FARM IN HAMBURG
E. C. Hayes and Ferron Bryson
received a shipment of five
pairs of Louisiana Giant Jumbo
bull frogs, from the American
Frog Canning Company, of New
Orleans, as the nucleus of the
frog farming operation they are
launching, up in Hamburg. The
frogs arrived in good condition,
and were taken to the ponds
these gentlemen have already
prepared.
The shipment of frogs from
the new farm in Hamburg will
begin next year, as the female
frogs received are scheduled to
lay 15,000 eggs each this year.
The species of frog that these
gentlemen will raise average
about 22 inches in length, when
mature; and the canning company
uses the entire frog, except
the head. The legs are canned
separately, and the meat is also
canned and on sale at grocery
stores everywhere. The skins are
used for finishing for fine women's
shoes, and other purposes
where exceptionally fine leather
is required. The meat is in great
demand at hospitals, hotels and
restaurants.
There are already three species
of frogs in this .county. The
small, green frog and the leop?1
* *rrVii/?v? is snmewhat
<UU IlUg, nutwi u# ?
larger exists in large numbers;
but the true bull frog, while occasionally
seen here, is rather
Tare. However, the fact that
there are some of the true bull
frogs native to this region, is
proof that they can be produced,
successfully on a commercial
basis in the mountains.
these programs will be games,
contests ,music, group singing,
and square dancing.

Wilkie, McNary
Are Nominated
By Republicans
( I
The Republican National Convention,
meeting in Philadelphia
last week, nominated Wendell
Wilkie for President and Senator
McNary, of Washington, for
Vice-President. [
Wilkie, a new comer in the political
field, is president of
Commonwealth and Southern
?"-"Hnn o utilities holding
V^UIpuiauiu**, M
company. He is a native of Indiana,
a lawyer by profession,
and at present a resident of New
York. His nomination came on
the sixth ballot in the convention
,after Thomas E. Dewey,
New York District Attorney, the
leader in the first ballot, began
losing votes on every subsequent
ballot, and the contest developed
into one between Wilkie and
Senator Robert Taft of Ohio.
| i
Wilkie came into the political
picture a few weeks ago, when
articles about him began appearing
in the magazines and the
syndicated columns of the newspapers.
He is a colorful personality,
and immediately took hold
of the imagination of the young
er element in tne country especially.
He was formerly a democrat,
and was an ardent supporter
of Roosevelt in 1932. He broke
with the Roosevelt Administration
over the Tennessee Valley
Authority and some other New
Deal moves.
While not in agreement with
much that the New Deal has
done, he is considered a liberal
in his views, and is admittedly
far from being a conservative.

r Glenville
ectric Dam
i
The Nantahala Power and
ight Company has consummatd
a contract with Morrison[nudson
Company tor the contraction
of the Glenville dam
cross the Tuckaseigee River, be?w
the mouth of Pine creek.
The dam at Glenville will have
dam 14fr feet in height and
rill form a reservoir with a
sable storage capacity of 68,000
cres. The dam will be earthiced
rock fills, with a cubic
ardage of 488,000; and the cost
f the project, including the
riving of the tunnels, will run
ito several, million dollars.
No intimation has been given
s to just when the construction
f the dam and driving the tunels
will begin, but it is expected
:> start in the immediate future,
t is stated authoritatively by oficials
of the company that the
onstructlon of the Glenville
am, and the one in Macon
[>unty,. across the Nantahala
iver, will tie in with the Nation 1
Defense Program. The power
reatsd will be sold to local conLimers,
and also will be used in
le production of aluminum, a
ommodlty vital to National desnse.
In plain language, this is
iken to mean that most of the
ower, if it is used for the purose
stated, will be transmitted
ut of this immediate section,
nd put to industrial use elsewhere.
The Nantahala Power and
,ight Co. is a subsidary of the
iluminum Company of Ameria,
which is one of the great
4ellon interests.
The dam will back water over
cany acres of the finest farm

nany Jackson county families
rom homes which they have
iwned and occupied for generaions.
The Glenville Baptist
hurch and Masonic Lodge

In fact, it will constitute a
omplete change of the whole of

of Big Ridge, part of the

emote parts of the township. At
