PROF. SUMMER
HAS RESIGNED
To Be Principal Of School
At Bryson City
In the resignation' of Prof.
O. F. Summer as principal of the
school here, to accept a similar
position with the Bryson City
school. Highlands is losing one
of its most civic-minded and rep
representative Citizens. During the
fifteen years Mr. Summer has
been here, the school enrollment
and number of teachers have ma
terially increased, and the high
school saised from a non-accredited
high school. The school
building has been enlarged by the
addition of a wing and the ern
eslargement of
classrooms. An au itorium has
been built which houses as a
part ' of the school property, a

Several hund ed dollars of thea
tre funds were used in finishinc
the auditorium and another several
hundred dollars of theatre funds
have been spent in beautifying
the grounds throuirh the huildins
of rock walls and the planting of
shrubbery and flowers.
Wnder Mr. Summers guidance
the school has maintained a high
standard of work and gradu
ates of the high school who enter
ed colleges have done well. Another
mark of progress during the last
three years of Mr. Summer's
principalship has been the, issu
ance of a monthly school paper
by the high school students, where
by they were given valuable train
ing in the mimeographing and pub
lishing of a newspaper.
Mr. Summer's life profession is
first of all teaching. He is a Ma
son, past president of the cham
ber of commerce, past president
of tht P. T. A., an elder in the
Presbyterian church, and for sever
al years has been county chair
man of Christmas seal sales.
Mrs. Summer is a talented mu
sician, always giving gladly of her
tallents as a singer and, pianist
whenever and wherever called up
on. Both she and Mr. Summer
will be greatly missed in the com
munity which, for many years
they have been so much a part
f, and the best wishes of their
Highlands friends go with them
into their new field.

JUNK
needed for War
In the barnyards and gullies
of farms and in the basements
and attics of homes is a lot of
Junk which is doing no good
where it is, but which is needed
at once- to help smash the
Japs and Nazis.
Scrap iron and steel, for example.
Even in peacetime, scrap provided
about 50 of the raw material for steel.
It may be rusty, old "scrap" to you,
but it is actually refined steel with
most impurities removed, and can be
quickly melted with new metal in the
form of pig iron to produce highest
quality steel for our war machines.
The production of steel has gone
up, up, IIP, until today America is
turning out as much steel as all the rest
of the world combined. But unless at
feast 6,000,000 additional tons of scrap
steel is uncovered promptly, the full
rate of production cannot be attained
or increased; the necessary tanks, guns
and ships cannot be produced.
The rubber situation is also critical.
In spite of the recent rubber drive,
there is a continuing need for large
quantities of scrap rubber. Also for other
waste materials and metals like brass,
copper, zinc, lead and tin.
The Junk which you collect is bought
by industry from scrap dealers at estab
lished, government-controlled prices.
Will ybu help?
First collect all of your waste ma
terial and pile it up.
Then sell it to a Junk dealer, give
it to a charity, take it yourself to the
nearest collection point, or get in touch
with your Local Salvage Committee.
If you live on a farm, consult your
County War Board or your farm imple
ment dealer.
Throw YOUR scrap into the fight!
