Hopes For Airport

"We are proud and happy that
Highlands has a Civil Air Pa
trol squadron, and we hope in
the not too distant future that
Highlands will have an air
port."
After stating some of the

its close cooperation with the
American Red Cross, the article

"We believe that the C.A.P. is
good for the health of High
lands; we believe that'*' the
C.A.P. Is a definite means to
ward our goal of maintaining
our way of life. We believe that
the CAP. Is worthy of recog
nition and support. We ask
that you give the C-A.P. your
whole-hearted cooperation."

Postal Receipts
At Highlands On
Steady Upgrade
Highlands post office has
shown a gradual increase in
receipts over a period of
several years. In 1936 the
receipts totaled $5,295.81.
Receipts for the year 1945
were $11,717.19, and for
1946 they were 811,886.92.
These figures reflect the
growth of Highlands in
populatian, especially the
increase of 1946 over 1945,
when most post offices had
a decrease in receipts due,
in part to the decrease war
mailings.

Creomulslon blends beechwood

hoitaes our school at present has
been condemned, it is a fire
trap of the first water, an en
graved invitation to disaster.
We who have seen many dis
asters know what disaster can
bring. We know that the money
and the building site for a new
school building are available.
We want to know why the
school is not under construc
tion? Could it be politics?
"We know that at present
there is a ten per cent overall
shortage of books in the High
lands school. We want to know
why North Carolina, one of the
richest states in the Union, can
not furnish books for its chil
dren? Or could it be that the
fault is not that of the State,
but that of a County
"We do not think that it is
fair for our children to have to
go to school without the neces

that it is fair to theix teachers.
