The plan contemplates the as- *

eral markets in the county. The
.perat ors or the markets will be ! <
j ,\.cd to assume the responsibil- ,(
::v of taking the grease from the j 1
homes, cafes, hotels, and their 1

I war materia] from which glycer- 1
vne is made for the manufacture 1
of mtro-glycerine. All persons ; i
ate ur?ed by the committee to 1
H save every ounce of waste grease
and:urn it over for the use of

W For the collection of scrap ^
iron, brass, steel, and rubber,
the committee will secure the "
services of a truck to make the I
rounds in each township and
pick up the scrap and bring it to
the central point in Sylva. All
person^ are expected to donate ,
I the scrap, and the proceeds from ]

SYLVA, NOR'I
On'The Tar Heel Front
In Washington
By ROBERT A. ERWIN
And FRANCES McKUSICK
WASHINGTON ? This week
rought something of a general
xodus of members of the North
larolina congressional delegalon
from war-weary Washingon
to the peacefulness that only
lome can bring, when the House
f Representatives started its
hree day recesses, with the
irorfiise that no malor leeisla
ion would be considered during
his time.
/
All of the members asserted,
lowever, that they would not
ake full advantage of the inormal
congressional recess
vhich is slated to last until Sepember.
Representatives John H.
''olger of Mt. Airy, for instance,
ays he doesn't believe he'll be ,
ible to stay home for more than
i few days at a time. Although
here will be no legislative maters
to attend to at the Capitol,!
le says there are plenty of other
hings to keep him busy. j
Representatives Alfred L. Bui- .
tinkle will probably spend the
east time at home of any of the
nembers as he was appointed
Speaker Pro Tem of the House by |
speaker Sam Rayburn who went;
>ack to Texas to cure his sore
hroat with some good old i (
southwestern sunshine.
The best the Major can do in '
,he way of slipping out of Washington
for a week is to appoint
iomeone to take his place for
>ne meeting. It works this way:
,he House meets every Monday
md Thursday. Bulwinkle must j
)e there to call the House to or- j
ler and listen to a short prayer
3y the Chaplain. After that, if i
my member is in town and
vishes to have his remarks ex- ;
tended in The Congressional
Record, he may have the priviege
of the floor. Bulwinkle pre;ides
over such sessions from the
Speaker's chair.
Once during the recess, Speak?r
Bulwinkle may appoint some>ne
to take his place. If he does
;hat he may take a week off.
\side from this, he must report
:o work twice a week.
Bulwinkle was chosen by Ray3urn
because of his 20 years'
service in Congress and his strict
idherence to Administration
policies, it was learned.
No legislation of any consequence
is anticipated until September
unless some emergency
should arise, at which time Congress
will be called back by the
President.
? ?
One piece of good news came
DUt of the hopper for farmers !
this week. An order was issued
by Joseph B. Eastman, Director
of Defense Transportation which |
releases certain regulations per- .
tainine to the "back door" truck- i
ing order for the period of August
1 to October 31. Tobacco
farmers, truck gardeners, fruit |
growers and in fact all those persons
whose living depends upon
the fruits of the soil will be benefited.
"One of the most important
requirements which is cancelled i
for farmers during this period
is the one requiring that this
year each motor truck operate
less than 25 per cent of its total
mileage during the corresonding
calendar moth of 1941," explained
Representative Folger, who
has vigorously protested against
the application of the original
order to farmers. "Farmers under
this amendment are also excluded
from the regulation that
not more than one delivery may
be made from any one point of
origin to any one point of destination
during a 24 hour period."
Another highly important regulation
which has been waived
for farmers during this period is
that they need not register for,
a return trip to fill their trucks j
on the way back to their farms !
from their destination, Folger!
said.
Representatives Cooley,, Dur- j
wiiiiam O. Burgin and |
nam, ?? .
John H. Kerr were among the '
other Tar Heel congressmen who J
several weeks ago took up the
plight of the farmer under this
order, with the Office of Price
Administration. They all expressed
satisfaction that the or?Continued

This County Leads
Whole State In
Planting Of Trees
Jackson county was far in the
lead of all the counties of North
Carolina in the planting of trees
during the past fall and spring,
according to a report released
by R. W. Graeber, State College
extension forester. A total of 6,762,976
tree seedlings were set
out in the State. Of these Jackson
county farmers led the Sta{,e
in plantings with 318,500 seedlings
set out. Yancey was next
with 117,700, and little Clay, far
in the west, was third with 95,000.
Cabarrus set 90,000; Macon,
81,000; M o n t g o m e r y, 75,000;
Mnriisnn. 70.700; Transylvania,
63,900; Haywood, 63,600; Wake,
58,550; Buncombe, 56,300; Mecklenburg,
54,200; and Mitchell,
51,000.
It was pointed out here that
the large tree settings in the
county may not pay immediate
dividends, except in the prevention
of erosion, but that the
Jackson county farmers have
shown a farsightedness, and in
looking to the future, have made
a wise investmen for their county
and themselves.

MIDDLETON IS |

J
Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Middleton, ]
of Tuckaseigee, have received a ]
message from the war depart- ;
merit stating that their son, Tal- j,

years of age and an alumnus of

"seven months. He was serving as
a private in an engineer regi- j

j It is not known whether the r
young Jackson county man was j
i captured by the Japanese, killed,
' or made his escape to either the
, interior of Luzon, where Americans
and Filipinos are reported
to still be fighting, or to one of
the other islands of the Philip,

, All that is known is that he
is missing since the fall of Corregidor.

Records Sought
By Legion For
Men In Service
' William E. Dillard Post, American
Legion, is calling upon the
i people to donate phonograph
records for the use of the men
in service. Any records, new records,
old records, broken records,
warped records, any kind of records
that the people wish to donate
will be gladly accepted.
Just leave your records at any
filling station in the county, and
the Legion will pick them up and
send them in to the proper au1
thorities. The new records will
be.used in the camps and posts
and on the ships as they are.
1 The old ones will be reprocessed
and made into new for the same
purpose.
The war with the Japanese has
! practically cut off importations
of certain materials used in the
. making of phonograph records, . ^
> and all that are made for the
service men must be made of re
claimed materials from old records.
Edward Bryson, commander of
J the Legion post, and T. Walter
? Ashe, adjutant, are working on
. the job of assembling the phonograph
records. The move is a
, part of a nation-wide campaign
, put on by the American Legion
