' , Highway Crews Do Splendid Work JURIMi the days and nights of last weelc when ...... the highways were ctneredvith snow and ice, and were said to he-more, 'dangerous than ever be fore, the .Macon county employee's of the state highway department . gave a splendid demonstra tion of efficiency and interest in the public welfare. . These men worked in relays day and night dur ing the emergency and kept the highways passable. They scraped the snow away almost as fast-as it fell, spread sawdust at - the curves to prevent skid ding, and did a thorough and workmanlike job. Some people might claim that all that was done was .just, part of the. job for which these men are paid, but such is not the case, for there were re ports that some, other sections failed to receive the attention that was given to the highwavs in this county.

Travelers from other places who had occasion to drive through .Macon county last week were loud in their: praise of the work that was being done. i The good work of the highway crews was large ly -responsible - for the county's, record of not a single serious accident.

Enormous Liquor Bill JJXDKR .the caption, "Yet Many Begged for Bread." the, Waynesville Mountaineer of last week carried the following eye-opening editorial concerning the mounting liquor' bill in the United States: "People clamored to get on government pay rolls last year. They begged for bread, yet there must have been a considerable lot of money spent, since leeem statistics snow that America s liquor bill 'last year amounted to five billion dollars. "That almost equaled fifty per cent of the na . lion's food bill. " , "Last year the nation spent $15.33 per capita for the education of our children and young people. "The per capita liquor bill was $38.68. "The people of the United States spent more than twice as much for alcoholic beverages as they did for education. "Xor is that the entire price paid by the citizens . of. America for liquor, for many of those who , bought and drank it paid other prices, too great for any monetary, valuation. For to the final cost of liquor must be added the part that is played in the increase of crime, in acci dents involving life and property, in sickness, in waste, and in time lost." - PRESBYTERIAN AUXILIARY MEETS WITH MRS. COBB The Woman's Auxiliary of the Presbyterian church held its monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. W. H. Cobb on Tuesday afternoon. Miss Ruth Carter led the devotional, and Mrs. K. B.

Communications MANY MACON MEN AT WORK ON HIWASSEE DAM Editor Franklin Press : As it has been said that Maeon county has not-received any bene fit from the construction of the dam, 1 would like to call your at tention to a few facts: The general construction fore man, K. C. Sutton, is from Macon county. Others are, Fred Palmer, shovel and crane operator; Fred Conley, rigger and crane operator; E. A. Styles and jt. C. . Sofrells, carpenters; Elijah Grant, electric ian, and Charlie Williams, truck operator. These men draw from $150 to $350 each per month, which makes around $1,500 per month coming to Macon,, county. These men bring their money home and spend it at home, so 1 fail to see why any one can say that the dam is not doing this county any good. Another .matter. which is going to help us is that when the dam is completed, which is only a V-short time away, we are expecting that TV'A will do here' as they have al ready done in many other places,! take over all small power com- panics and generate power in a big way. This would not only mean power and lights at about one- half what we are now paying, but an extension of lines into every community in. the county and -the entire' watershed of the TVA area.

Bain State Director "Ct a raf on support from the pub lic, preaf, officials and law-abiding beer retailers accounts for our Com mittee's heartening success," de clares Colonel Bain. ".My apprecia tion la hereby extended to all, to gether with my appeal for continu ance of this intelligent cooperation. Six months ago, the Brewers and North Caro lina Beer Distributors Committee began its efforts to eliminate those relatively few beer outlets that sought to hide liquor selling and other illegal activities behind the respectability of legal beer licenses. "Clean Up or Close Up" was the ultimatum. V ' The results are gratifying. Public sentiment has been awakened. Newspapers all over the state have reenforced us with editorial support. Law enforcement agencies have responded with constructive aid. And 37 licenses have been revoked 37 "dives," so to speak, kayoed. For the generous cooperation received, we are most grateful. Accept our pledge that through out the New Year we shall continue unremit tingly the job of driving law violators out of the beer retailing business in North Carolina driving them out, and keeping them out. Editorial Comment on "Clean Up " Campaign Rockingham Post - Dispatch: "The Industry does not want beer sold In Joint where blind tigers operate. ... That's why the industry has ft 'clean up' 'committee." Oxford Ledger: "An alertness to Insure distribution of their product only through reputa ble outlets is keeping the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee active in many sections of North Carolina." Greensboro Record: "... the state committee of the brew ers and beer distributors Is in a position to render a very definite -service in ridding communities of places which belong in tbe category of 'dives and low class hang SUtesvllle pally: The aver age citizen Is still rubbing his eyes In unbelief, but slowly Is becoming convinced when he sees beer dealers losing their licenses after engaging In questionable practices. And that has happened hers in Iredell." Durham Sun: The dealers In beer have outlawed the boot legger . . . Such a campaign la ' certain to have wholesome effects." Hickory Dally Record: "... the Beer Committee has done Its duty, and all persons who are sincerely Interested in curbing the Illegal sale of hard liquor will welcome the opportunity to Join In the crusade." Salisbury Post: The beer folk have taken the stand that they want beer dispensed only in establishments of good gen eral reputation. To that end they ... are filing formal legal petitions for the closing of such establishments as serve beer but fall in some measure to sustain a good name." The State (Raleigh): "Col. ad gar Bain ... Is reporting ex cellent progress ... The work has been progressing quietly but excellent results have been accomplished. Lexington Dispatch: . . . "where persona are found selling with out licenses the violation la promptly reported ... This work in a good many instances may result in a decided check on bootlegging."
