BASEBALL SUNDAY Franklin vs. Seneca Mills, S. C. 2:00 p. m. LOCAL DIAMOND ?Continued Prott Pft(* OM PLAN TO BUILD NEW SCHOOL IN EAST FRANKLIN day's meeting: Referring to the State High way commission's proposal to surface some highways only 12 feed wide, the board adopted a resolution opposing construction of highways that narrow, where they are to be used for school bup routes. In response to a question from Mrs. Florence S. Sherrill, Mr. Houk said he did not know when funds from the state will be available for new school build ings. He replied to a question from Bob S. Sloan about the board's budget for the period July 1, 1949-June, 30, 1950, that he would have the budget ready to submit to the board in Sep tember. Mr. Houk showed members of the board a map he has drawn indicating locations, sizes, etc., of proposed new buildings, and the areas they will draw from. He announced that he saw no necessity for purchase of any additional school buses this year. Replying to a question, he said , the school lighting survey made by the Nantahala Power and Light company last spring, on request of the board, recom mended expenditures that would cost $6,000 at the old building in Franklin, and said it is out , of the question now, especially , in view of the uncertainty of plans for Franklin. Mr. Sloan suggested that lighting recom mendations should be carried out at Cowee and Otto. The text of the resolution on highway widths follows: "Whereas, it has been sug gested that certain secondary roads now used or to be used as school bus routes in Macon County be paved for a width of only 12 feet; "Whereas, from experience, the Macon County board of ed ucation is ' of the considered opinion that such construction would be dangerous for school bus operation; "Now, therefore, be it resolved that the State Highway com mission be urgently requested: (1) To pave all roads to be used as school bus routes to a minimum width of 16 feet; (2) On roads used as school bus routes, which cannot be paved, that sufficient stone be applied to a minimum width of 16 feet so as to provide a safe all-weather driving surface."

Phone 486 A4P? tfc 2 Highlands Audience* Pleased By Competent Work Of Theatre Group The Highlands Community Theatre enchanted large audi ences Monday afternoon and evening with their competent performance of the Barry play, "What Every Woman Knows." Director Arthur Little's su perb handling of this play made it flow smoothly through Its five acts of amusing situations and clever dialouge. Since all dialogue had to be in a burry Scotch accent, the director and j actors deserve special credit. Fred Allen, as John Shand, the rising young career man of the play, was/ especially adapt in the handling of his role, and his forceful, and at times ex plosive, Scotch brouge was com pletely convincing. He showed a remarkable understanding of the egotistical, yet sensitive, nature of the man he was por traying. / I Sarah Little, as the modest but wise Maggie Wylie, shared top honors with Fred Allen as his very understanding wife. She seemed to have absorbed the very essence of the char acter she was portraying and proved her ability in the hard est test of an actor, the abil lty to move the audience in one i entirely silent scene of several minutes' duration. For a woman, 1 quote Maggie, without "charm", she did completely "charrm" the audience in the way she enacted her part. If there is such a thing as spice to a Scotch pudding, that is what Virginia Wilcox, as the piquant Countess de la Briere, was to this play. Each of her entrances gave a glitter and animation to the whole plot that delighted the audience. Mrs. Wilcox has been in many . of the Community Theatre plays and always gives them that cer tain something every talented : actress has. I Ralph Mowbray, a resident of ] Highlands, distinguished him- < self in the role of Mr. Ven ables, the elderly statesman. He fitted his part perfectly. ] Charles Wick, as the douur I Scctch father of Maggie, played ! his part with skill, and with his 1 two stalwart sons, James Wylie, 1 played by O. C. Edwards, and 1 David Wylle, who was John ] Beakly, made a formidable 1 Scotch threesome bent on en- 1 snaring a husband for Maggie, t SARAH HINES BAILEY 1 More Than Half Of N. C. Deaths Due To 4 Causes Well over one-half of all the people who died In North Car olina during the first quarter i of 1949 were victims of just four causes, diseases of the heart, apoplexy, cancer and nephritis. Those four killed 4,502 people during January, February and March of this fear, according to reports compiled by the State Board of Health. Deaths from all causes totaled 8,081, which was 493 fewer than the 8,574 total for the corres ponding period of last year. The four chief killers in North Carolina fall within the class of what is known as degenera tive diseases, as they take their heaviest tolls among people of middle and late life. There Is rarely a -period in which disea ses of the heart do not show an increase, but there were 113 fewer deaths from heart disease in North Carolina the first quarter of this year than during the corresponding three months of 1948. Nephritis deaths also showed an appreciable decrease, as did deaths from strokes, but cancer fatalities continued their upward trend. Deaths from automobile acci dents, according to the State Board of Health, increased from 180 to 226 during the period under consideration. Deaths from accidents, other than those associated with motor vehicles, dropped from 405 to 349. All accidental deaths are classed as preventable by the bureau of vital statistics. Sometime ago there was an increase in the incidence of measles in North Carolina this year. This increase has been reflected in vital statistics re ports from January through March of this year. Twenty six persons died of measles, 16 .of these deaths having occured in March alone. No deaths from measles were reported during the first quarter of 1948. Much has been said recently about North Carolina's case- | finding program designed to eradicate tuberculosis, through I detection and treatment. Deaths ' from what used to be North Carolina's No. l killer numbered ] 214 during the first quarter of this year, as compared with 233 for the same period last year. <? There was an increase in suicides as well as homicides. Through March of this year, 81 persons in North Carolina had taken their own lives. The total for the corresponding period of 1948 was 72. This year's homicides numbered 104, compared with 98 last year. During the period under con sideration 133 babies in North Carolina died as the result of prematurity. This total reflected a sharp decr?ase under the cor responding period last year when prematurity was the cause of 335 deaths. During the first three months of 1949, there were 26,766 live births reported In the state, which was 1,446 fewer than were reported for the same period a year ago.

This', The Buck Private Would Say, 1 Must See' I ! 1 Asheville? Many a buck pri vate In Uncle Sam's army would think he was dreaming if he could visit Asheville these days and see his former colonel or I general crawling around on | hands and knees with a "squirt gun" in a dahlia bed. | Instead of cannons, these men are now making war with DDT - trying to kill an insect known as the "borer" which attacks dahlias about this time evary year. They are members of the Asheville Men's Garden Club, and are raising the dahlias and other flowers for display at the club's tenth annual flower show, to be held at the City Auditor lum August 25 and 26. Membership in the local Men's Garden Club, the largest and most active such club in the United States, totals 125. Be tween 25 and 30 are retired 1 army, navy, and marine offi- 1 cers, but the majority are prac ticing doctors, lawyers, and ac- | tive business men. Tbey meet monthly at the Farmers Fed eration freezer locker plant and show colored slides and film of outstanding flower gardens, dis cuss seedlings, and the best ways of combating insects.

Houlc. while agreeing that the suggestion was a good one, said the county could not afford to use lis capital outlay funds at this time for such pur poses. He cited the fact that school sites must be purchased, and said he doubted If state funds could be used to buy land. Mr. Sloan replied that this county has $400,000 of Its own bonds, part of which can be used to buy school sites, and urged board members to give his suggestion thought. ? -Vuntinurd from Page Oin ALDERMEN MOVE TO ENFORCE 2 LAWS: ENACT 1 ! t street to the city limits was one 1 continuous street and known to the public as "Georgia road." Dr. Edgar Angel then appeal- 1 ed to the board to leave the : name "Maple street." He point- 1 ed out that many streets in 1 Franklin have been given names 1 which were more acceptable for 1 public use than those given I them by tradition. He said that 1 Phillips street was once known 1 as "Privey" street and that 1 Iotla had been known as "Roost- 1 er" street. He added that he felt that tradition should have 1 little to do with the naming of 1 the streets and that he did not ' have much faith in "what our ! fathers and forefathers did" but "thanked God that we have new men in our town who are will ing to break with tradition." He concluded his remarks by say- j ing that he was for anything looking to a good and prosper ous town. A petition asking that the name remain "Georgia road", J signed by H. T. Sloan, Nanelyn K. Sloan, Nora Leach, Pearl L. . Wright, Ida Leach, Troy Potts, i ] J. E. Potts, Margaret B. Mc- i ] Guire, Dick Sloan, J. B. Ray, ] and Louis B. Sewell, was pre- . sented. . , Among those who favored the I name "Maple street" were Mr. j and Mrs. Pre'.o Dryman, Mr. , and Mrs. I. T. Peek, Dr. and , Mrs. Edgar Angel, and Frank , Reece. , W. C. Burrell, board member, , moved that the board not act i on the matter until all members , of the board were present, E. J. , Whitmire, Jr., being absent. Members of the board devoted < considerable discussion to ways ; and means whereby the town ] could be .cleaned up. It was de cided to Instruct the mayor to ( write an open letter to the pub- | lie asking better cooperation ; with the street cleaning de- ( partment in placing trash and : garbage In proper containers. The board felt that this should ] apply particularly to those who ( either live or operate businesses on or near Main street. j Upon motion of Woodrow ( Reeves, it was voted to install three additional street lights, i two on Depot street and one < on the Murphy road near the j city limits. j Macon Group Is Attending 4-H Week Program In Raleigh Miss Anne Ray, assistant home agent, accompanied a group of eight girls and two boys who are representing Macon County this week at the annual 4-H ' Club week in Raleigh.

Feeding Beef CattU It DUcimmcI la New Booklet A revised Issue ot Extension Circular No. 217, "Feeding Beef Cattle for Market," has Ju?t been published by the State College Extension service and copies are available on request. The 20-page publication was prepared by L. I. Case, In charge of animal husbandry extension work. Mr. Case says the two main objects of fattening cattle are the marketing of crops and the production of manure for soil Improvement. The farmer should determine the number of cat tle that he can feed to best ad vantage during an average year and make them a part of his regular program. In this way, says Mr. Case, cattle feeding will be profitable in the long run, if due credit is allowed for the manure produced. The author says tests have shown that two-year-old steers excrete 8.7 per cent of the nitro gen and phosphorous, 90 per cent of the potassium, and 26 per cent of the organic matter which they consume. Among other subjects dis cussed are factors affecting success in cattle feeding, the feed lot and feed lot equipment, 3ry lot feeding, choice of con centrates and how to feed them, roughages, finishing cattle on ;rass, feeding grain to suckling calves, and preparing cattle for shipment. Several tables give suggested rations for various types of beef cattle. Free copies of the circular may be obtained from the coun ty agent or by writing the Agri cultural Editor, State College Station, Raleigh. Old Age ' Insurance Protects De pendents, Too By D. VV.
