Wh builders were unable to obtain steel girders to feed the county's building boom, Leo Tippett Step ped into the picture and started making girders for them at his machine shop on HairrBon are nue. On order, he has supplied steel for Glenn Ray s new building, Lee Woods new motor caan, Macon County Supply Company, and a new building he is erecting. Workmen are shown aooro. installing the Tippett girders in the Ray building. Mr. Tippett plans to continue his new facturing venture. I No. 2 i | sion of the more-jobs-for-men I suggestion. I Closing of the highway south, i with traffic routed via High lands, would prove even more damaging to Franklin and this county than was the long period when travel between Franklin and Sylva was halted while that road was being rebuilt, a ; member commented. He added that Georgia was reported ready to build a temporary hard-surfaced road along the route of the new highway, to accommodate traffic, but had abandoned the plan, since North Carolina would not recip rocate on this end. No Competition The rural communities are working together well, under the community development pro gram, and rural Macon and Franklin are cooperating, it was [ brought out; "but there should j be closer cooperation between | the two towns. They are so dif 5 ferent, there is no real compe | tition; and each needs and sup plements the other." Baseball League j The little baseball league was j suggested as a partical solution j of the problem of recreation, and as something in which I Highlands' participation would I u.. UC URCIJ-. 'Junk Town' The beautification suggestion ' came from a relatively new res j'ident, who volunteered it only after being called on. Although j he likes Franklin so much, he came here to make it his home, he deplored the fact that it is sometimes referred to, by | motorists passing through, as the junk town", because of [ the automobile junk yards on j its outskirts, "and now we are i getting them uptown". Further ; more, "weeds 10 feet high don't I give the stranger a good im I pression". He thought some ef forts toward beautifying the town would pay off handsomelv For Common Good The idea of a project to bring 1 more people together in work ing for the commop good was . developed, in informal conver- i sation after the meet-ins; ad journed. into the specific sug- . gestion that Franklin be divid ed into "communities", as the rural Macon is now, and have its own "community develop ment" competitioh.

Jacoo Kovner skates hard and fast; fast. 1 because in these parts, frozen | lakes are something of a rarity j and in his five years here as a j research forester at Coweeta Hy drologic Laboratory his trips to Highlands have been far too few; I hard, because that's the way all hockey players skate in what i ; probably the fastest and roughest sport today. "Once you've played hockey. " hi ! explains, "just skating isn't much." j And he quickly adds: "If there was a team there I < Highlands). I'd probably be there | all the time."
