SLOW DELIVERIES OF STEEL are responsible for a new type business in Franklin. 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
| 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

'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.
The club discussed holding a
Bingo party as a polio fund
benefit. Definite action was de7
ferred until tonight's meeting.

So. with these memories. 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

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

all the time."
