We would like to see North Carolina get her full share of this public spending." Propoaad Project. The projects proposed now to the planning board are not requests, but mere suggestions, upon which the board can work out a state wide program upon which to base its requests to the federal govern ment in event the four-billion-dollar work relief program should be approved. Definite plans have not been drawn for any of the projects suggested for this county. Fol lowing is a list of the suggested projects, Proposed by county commission ers: New courthouse, estimated to cost about $325,000. Proposed by board of aldermen, Town of Franklin: Water supply and extension of mains, $200,000; sewer extension and disposal plant, $50,000; city hall, library and auditorium, $75, 000; streets and sidewalks, $100,000; acid extract plant and pulp mill, $200,000. Urga Acid Plant In an accompanying memorandum it is pointed out that vast quanti ties of wood, especially chestnut wood, which is rapidly being killed out by blight, are available in this vicinity. "Macon county is so situated that it is very difficult to place this wood on the market," the memo randum states, "and unless condi tions are very much changed the great bulk of the wood will be an absolute loss to the government (which owns a large portion of the timberland in this area) and pri vate citizens. This wood owned by the United States government, should not be allowed to go to waste. It is, therefore, a business proposition for the government to establish its own acid plant and pulp fill in Franklin, N. C, using its own wood and purchasing the wood of other land owners "This should be a legitimate pro ject under a public works pro gram, as nothing else would em ploy as many men as this project would employ. The small amount of labor that ft would take to ran! the mill of course would be a small item, but a great number of people' would be employed in the woods and in transporting the wood to the mill "It is the idea of the board of aldermen of the Town of Franklin that -this should be strictly a gov ernment proposition and not come under the helps that wfft be given the municipality. It is listed pri marily for 'the purpose of calling the attention of the public works officials to the great need of this plant at the present time to save the government's own wood. "The matter has been taken up with J. H. Stone, supervisor of the Nantahala Forest, and he very heartily approves the plan, and we are quite sure the public works officials would be backed up by the officials of the Forest Service of the United States."

Your Doctor Has A TELEPHONE WESTERN CAROLINA . TELEPHONE CO. Letter-Press EWE'D BE SURPRISED Editor, Franklin Press; Dear Sir: In the fall of 1931 the first class of vocational agriculture of Frank lin high school held a fair. This fair was made up of the home pro jects of the students, such as hogs, cattle, sheep, corn, etc. I, as a member of that class, en tered a 1J4 year old ewe in the sheep contest. The judge awarded first prize to a ewe owned by Don Henderson on the grounds that his ewe was a better breeder than mine, which had never brought a lamb. Since that time my ewe has pre sented me with seven husky lambs. The latest arrivals, on Feb. 12, were equally husky ewe triplets. The proud mother Impartially owns all of them and gives sufficient milk for all She should, though, for she has an udder as large as that of a small cow. That sounds pretty big; however, if anyone does not believe this, they may come and see. Bring on your good breeder, Don. HERE'S THE AID TO I I HERE'S THE AID TO FEWER colds...
