The Chamber Of Commerce Report THE report of the secretary of the chamber of commerce made Tuesday night shows that this season's business has witnessed substantial benefit through this community undertaking. The spirit developed through the activities of the last three months has been one of cooperation and unity of purpose which has reacted for the benefit of all whether contributors or not. The amount of more than one thousand dollars raised was paid by both firms and individuals, and the expenditures with a substantial balance show careful handling of funds. Another year's work has a good, running start from which to expand. The fact that 2,250 visitors called at the infor mation booth is ample proof of the need for this service. Many of these were aided in finding places to stay and' enjoyable trips to make. The printed directory placed in the hands of visitors a list of accomodations that offered comfort and high class service. The retiring secretary who has given freely of his abilities in launching the work, left two con structive suggestions : that the chamber of com merce bend its efforts to securing a telegraph of fice for the town and the establishment of some form of industry to utilize native products and furnish a payroll for the benefit of citizens and business.

LEGAL ADVERTISING NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR PAROLE This is to give notice that I am making application to the Commis sioner of Paroles, Honorable Ed win R. Gill for a parole for John Moore, Jr. This 23rd day of September, 194C. J. M. MOORE S26 2tp 04 Defense And Power jTTENTION is spotlighted on the enormous water power possibilities of this section by the recent survey reported by the Federal Power Com mission. ' The report shows that the power generated in the entire state is more than one twentieth of the total water power produced in the United States. The huge developments now being added to the Aluminum Company of America's facilities through the Glen ville and Nantahala dams is an index Qf this mighty, as yet, hardly tapped asset of our part of the state. The Asheville Citizen has called attention to the advantage of the construction of defense industries in protected, inland positions. . "Hydroelectric power in quantities limited!bnly by the capacity to make use of it should be the strongest talking point in a program to bring es sential defense industries to North Carolina." Campaign Straws 'JTHE last Gallup poll of public opinion shows that Roosevelt is favored in 38 states; Willkie in 10. The rising tide of business, and, most of all, the increasingly alarming trend of a three-continent war, ; point to President Roosevelt's re-election. This is on the positive side. The negative aspect is the failure of the G. O. P. candidate to measure up to expectations. The signs are that the electorate" in November will express by their ballots the growing distrust of even some of Mr. Willkie's original supporters as to his fitness or adequate experience to head the nation now. It is not a case of "swapping horses in midstream." It would be the folly of turning over the wheel of the great ship of state in a violent tempest to one who has never even faced a ripple on a calm political sea. We see ahead fuller agreement with Mayor La Guardia, an independent in politics, who said recently "I prefer Roosevelt with his known faults to Willkie with his unknown virtues." And we are inclined to echo the old colored woman, who, when asked if she thought the Presi dent would be re-elected, replied "He's runnin', ain't he?" . . . ..; STATENYAHEAD VISITS FRANKLIN Training To Be Given To Aid National Defense Program John A. Lang of Raleigh, state administrator of the National Youth Administration. visited Franklin last Tuesday. Mr. Lang inspected the work that has been accomplished by Macon county young people on the NYA pro jects under the supervision of Mrs. Margaret Ordway. He praised especially the Neero community OuUding which was erected in 1909, giving employment to white and colored youths, and supplying vital need for the Negroes of the community. At present, 62 boys and girls re ceive employment under NYA in this county. The purpose of much of the NYA work at present is in direct co operation with thq defense pre gram, Mr. Lang stressed. He call ed attention to the NYA resident center now being erected at Weav erville to accommodate 200 boys from JU western counties, to which Macon county youths eligible for XMiA aid may be assigned.
