A cornor's inquest was held
later in the day, and it developed
from the evidence adduced
there, and from witnesses who
saw the car a short time before,
that the Negro man was driving
the automobile, and young Mr. |
Dillard was riding in the back

McDonald leaves a wife and
three children.
Young Mr. Dillard stated that
he, who is a good swimmer, tried
vainly to rescue the colored
man; but that McDonald's foot
was caught in the car, making
it impossible to extricate him.
The automobile, after turn

once, was sitting upright on iti

of the accident, which occurred

ITH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JU
New
Roadway To
The National Park
Is Blow To Sylva
The construction of the Soco
Gap?Cherokee highway, all of
which is located in Jackson
county, is approximately 30 per
cent complete, according to J.
C. Walker, district engineer.
The grading is being done by
Ralph E. Mills Construction
Company of Frankfort, Ky., and
the Hobbs-Peabody Construction
Company of Charlotte. The
cost of the road, ready for paving,
will be around $400,000.
This, road,'while all in Jackson
county, will contribute further
to the encirclement of Sylva
by the State Highway Department.
It will shorten the
distance from the counties west
of Jackson to Asheville, and
from Asheville to Cherokee, and
the Great Smoky Mountains National
Park. Inevitably this new
road, when completed, will take
much of the present park traffic
off the roads leading through
Sylva.
Those who remember the beginning
of real highway construction
in North Carolina will
remember that the State Highway
Commission originally
planned to build old Highway
No. 10 that way:; but the law
requiring the - Connection of
county seats blocked the plan,
as it was easier 4nd less costly
to build one roatftfrom Waynesville
to Sylva and. Bryson City
than to build two.
However, the tirade that was

Enloe Tells Of U SO
Campaign In County
*
This week marks the- climax
of the United Service Organization
drive in Jackson County.
S. W. Enloe, who was appointed
by Governor J. Melville Broughton
as county chairman, announces
that two-thirds of the
quota of three hundred dollars
has already been- raised, and
he expects to have the other
hundred pledged by Saturday.
The United Service Organization,
which has as its goal the
social guidance and aid t0 men
in service, is a country-wide
set-up with Thomas E. Dewey,
of New York as general chairman.
Robert M. Hanes. of Winston-Salem
is chairman of the
North Carolina division, and
Governor Broughton is honorary
chairman. Each county has
a separate organization. Mr. Enloe
has appointed Keith Hinds
as chairman of the Cullowhee
work, and Clyde Blair in Cherokee.
Sol Schulman, of Sylva, has
charge of the Jewish division.
The mnupmpnt is designed to
AA1V .?a*VV _ ^
give each individual citizen a
part in the national defense
program and at the same time
to fill a very urgent need, that
of supplying wholesome recreation
and guidance for the soldiers
at the large army camps.
Each camp will have its U; S. O.
building, provided by the government,
where reading rooms,
game rooms, dance halls and
other forms of recreation will
be under the supervision of
trained workers.
Organizations sponsoring the
movement represent every
group included in the army. Besides
the various churches, they
are the Traveler's Aid Association,
the Salvation Army, The
Young Men's Christian Association,
The Jewish Youth Organization,
and The Catholic Young
People's Union. Civic orders
such as the Rotary Club and
t.inn's Club in Sylva also have
a part in the campaign. .

at the time of the accident.
The big concrete bridge at
Cullowhee was washed out in

md has not yet been replaced.
Ct has stood as an eye-sore ever
since. A temporary wooden
structure was erected above the
concrete bridge, and has been
recognized as a serious traffic
hazard, and many people hav?
wondered why it has not been
the scene of frequent accidents.
It is understood that the plans
have been made for a new
bridge, and for the relocation of
the road beyond the river; but,
though it has been practically
eight months since the flood,
the traffic hazard has been allowed
to remain without a single
lick of work being done to provide
a permanent and safe
bridge and roadway. The engineering
division has made a
number of surveys at this place,
and the plans are said to have
been adopted.

AAA Wheat Forms Not
Complicated, Floyd Says
"There is absolutely nothing
complicated about the wheat
forms that must be kept by I
combiners and threshers of
wheat who accept toll for harvesting
this year's crop under
the 1941 marketing quota program,"
says E. Y. Floyd, state
AAA executive officer at State
College. A full explanation of
the simple forms will be made
to all threshers and combiners
at the county agent's office In .
every county, the AAA officer
said.
Floyd cited the simplicity of
the forms in the face of reports
some wheat harvesters had
elected to cut wheat for cash
