On The Tar Heel Front
In Washington
By ROBERT A. ERWIN
And FRANCES McKUSICK
Washington?If ever therei
were two groups of people who
are feeling the "pinch of priorities"
during the war, it't the
farmers and little businessmen.
However, we believe there is no
s t, a t, p whose Reoresentatives
have worked harder for these
two groups than the North Carolina
delegation. Not only have
its members voted straight down
the line for relief of these two
groups, but Tar Heel Representatives
on Capitol Hill each week
work diligently to see that farmers
and little businessmen are
given as much consideration by
War Production Board experts ,
as is humanly possible under the ,
present stringent "all out war
effort." ,
. Let's look behind the scenes
in the Tar Heel offices for a
minute or two and see exactly
what's been done for these two
groups in the last week or ten
days alone.
Representative John H. Kerr,
member of the House Appropri- ,
ations Committee, a farmer himself
and one who is always in
close touch with the problems
of tobacco farmers, has found
that unless something drastic is
done about the fuel oil allot- ;
ment, many tobacco farmers will
find themselves unable to cure ,
this year's crop. A large number
of farmers, he said, are
equipped to cure their tobacco
only by fuel oil. Most of them
could not bear the added financial
burden of turning their oil
stoves into wood burners k and ;
many feel that even if they
could afford it, l^ck of priorities
would prevent tfcem from getting
the nece^& jRat&L^
?. * *, .... :
innthpr r?rnhlpm nf hnth
iliiU V1?VA w w
farmers and small business people
which has already been taken
care of, through the hard
work of North Carolina Congressmen,
is that of the "back
haul" trucking order. In April, ;
the Office of Defense Trans- >
portation issued an edict that 1
any truck carrying a load more '<
than 15 miles from its starting '
point must be 100 per cent full '
going out, and carry a 75 per ;
cent load capacity on the way j(
back. I
Farmers and small manufac- ^
turers and business men who 1
wanted to deliver a truckload j1
of goods obviously would have ]
to stay at home because of the
provisions of this order, unless '<
by some arrangement they could I
either haul back a load, or <
could afford to buy a return 1
truckload of merchandise for J
themselves. Any trucker would
be exempt from this order if he
were delivering a government ]
orde?, of course, but this natur- j

Missing In Action
Theodore Snyder of Dillsboro
has received a message from the
War Department stating that
his son, Private James F. Snyder,
Is missing in action. The young
man, aged 25, was serving with
the 31st Infantry Battalion on
Bataan Peninsula, the last that
his family heard of him. They
were informed by the Red Cross
on May 7 that he was "alive and
well."
James F. Snyder enlisted in
the army more than a year ago,
and had been stationed at Manila
fnr thp nash twelve months.

BUMGARNER RESIGNS
FROM DRAFT BOARD
Lewis Bumgarner, who has been
a member of the Jackson County
Selective Service Board since it
was organized more than a year
ago, has tendered his resignation,
and Dillard Coward has
been appointed to succeed him.
Mr. Bumgarner, who has been
engaged in the automobile sales
business here for several years,
has gone to Newport News, Vir
?inia, to accept a position, and
that is the reason for his resignation
from the board.
Mr. Coward, Sylva barber, is
a veteran of the World War. The
ooard is now composed of J.
Claude Allison, chairman, Edward
Bryson, and Dillard Coward.
The Navy's largest flying boat

my language is quite a few
horses.

ID VANCE IN JACKSON COUNTY
Ashe, Holden
Again Named
| To Fill Offices
| T. Walter Ashe, present Commissioner
of Finance, received a
plurality of 110 votes over Frank
Hall, the runnerup in last Sat
urday's primary, and will be accorded
the nomination, since it
is certain that Mr. Hall will not
call a second primary. John H.
2? ? ? ? Vi f a
MOIT13 W?U3 it UIUOC ixiuu xxx uw
race, trailing Hall by only 92
i votes.
At the same time Sheriff Leonard
Holden was nominated for
i a second term as sheriff, receiving
a majority of 1364 over
Fred Sutton.
The new board of county commissioners
will be Ed Fisher of
Sylva and J. C. Passmore of
Cashier's Valley, these men being
the high two in a four man
race. The other two contestants
were W. S. Fowler of Hamburg,
and Cleve Fisher of Hamburg.
Mr. Fisher is a member of the
present board.
The entire old board of education,
composed of C. E. Smtih,
John Hooper, John B. Deitz, J.
H. Middleton, and D. H. Stephwas
renominated, defeating J. C.
"Long of Mountain and Will
Breedlove of Cashier's Valley.
Dan Tompkins was nominated
to head the ticket as candidate
for representative in the General
Assembly, without opposition.
Roy M. Cowan, Clerk of the
1 Court, and Glenn Hughes, Register
of Deeds, were also renominated
for their present positions
without opposition.
Mrs. E. L. McKee had no op
position in the primary as one
of the senators from the 32 Senatorial
District. The other senator
nominee is J. T. Bailey of
^Canton^who debated Grover C.
Davis in the Haywood County
primary. The district is now
composed of Polk, Henderson,
Haywood, Transylvania, and
Jackson with two senators. This
yearr under the rotation agreement,
Jackson and Haywood
have the senators.
Senator J. W. Bailey swept the
county and the state to be returned
by an overwhelming majority
over R. T. Fountain. In
this county, Senator Bailey received
2650 votes to 484 for Mr.
Fountain.
All the officers nominated in
the county, except the State
Senator, Representative and
members of the Board of Education
were nominated for terms
of four years. Sheriff Holden
was first nominated by the executive
committee after the
death of the late Charles C. Mason.
The people voted a constitutional
amendment extending
the terms of sheriffs in this
state to four years. Then the
General Assembly made all the
county offices four year terms.
Thus the commissioners, the
Commissioner of Finance, and
the Register of Deeds now have
four year terms. The office of
Clerk of the Superior Court has
I always been for four years.
