FRANKLIN FROZEN FOODS JAMISON, JEWELERS Heard And Seen ON MACON BYWAYS By ROLFE NEIIX WHERE THERE'S a Uon There's a Way: Mac Whitaker, in charge of the Lions Club committee for selling house numbers, tells this about two of his salesmen. Coach Dick Stott and H. T. Collins went to a house where the man told them he would like to buy the num bers ? in fact, intended to lat er ? but right now all he had was $1. "That's all the numbers cost," said Coach Stott. "I know," said the man, "but my boy's on the way to get a haircut and he needs the dol lar." "We'll cut his hair If you'll buy the numbers," replied the Coach. The man bought the numbers. SCHOOL BUS accidents seem to be happening everywhere In North Carolina, except Macon County. Let's hope our drivers will continue to exercise cau tion and good driving sense. Several bus drivers for Frank lin High School need to show more care when they come down Palmer Street hill in the afternoon. They rush past The Press office at 30 to 35 miles an hour on a street marked for 20 and approach the Town Hill intersection at a speed danger ous for their top-heavy buses. ? MRS. KAY Montague proudly offered a piece of her just baked devil's food cake the other day at the Dixie Grill. As we expected, it was delicious. However's that's not unusual, so we asked what was so special about this one. "There aren't any butter and eggs in that cake," she said. Anybody top this? While on the subject of food, we'd like to propose a contest. The communities compete against each other In every phase of development, right on down to who's got the best Christmas lighting display. Why not a cooking contest by the various women's groups. The Press staff (always hungry) would be delighted to act as judges. I CHRYSANTHEMUMS at Rain I bow Springs and now there are i carnations on Flat Top Moun tain. A fellow looked over cli matic conditions in Colorado, New York, and North Carolina and chose the Old North State. The cool nights in summer, which arr 20 degrees cooler than those in New York state, i he says, are a great help in i growing carnations. Carnations j do most of their growing at i night. | Incidentally, Mr. and Mrs. H. i L. Kendall will be back at Rain bow Springs about April for i their second year of chrysan ! themum raising. k NEXT TO Christmas, folks had rather be together on Thanksgiving than any other holiday in the year. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense if Thanksgiving were changed ffom Thursday to Friday. That way, people could make a long week-end of it and many who can't get home and back be tween Wednesday night and Friday morning could easily do it in a week-end. COMMON SENSE would stop a majority of highway killings that goes on. Some of us -don't have common sense and others, who do, don't always use it. ?Maj. Charles A. Speed, head ; of the State Highway Patrol safety division, has a nine point legislative program which would make easier the Patrol's job of keeping the highways safe: More patrolmen; an adequate and workable vehicle inspection law; laws authorizing tests tor drinking or drunken drivers; authority to use a few unmark ed patrol cars; legislation to plug holes in the financial re sponsibility law; make hi-ghway auto racing a felony; expanded i and more efficient judicial ma chinery; a state-wide system of | traffic courts adequately staf j fed; driver training in every ' high school in the state. If you're interested In saving lives ? possibly your own? tell Representative Houk you'd like for him to help with such leg islation. If you doubt that It's needed, take a look at the court docket for this term. On it are 111 cases involving improper use of automobiles. ? MAGAZINES, Reader's Digest particularly, often are guilty of taking Jokes and dressing them up as if they were real occur rences. Here's a local Incident funny enough to be a joke but which actually happened. Mrs. J. A. Flanagan, once asked her Franklin eighth grade Norda Estes Elected 4-H President By CAROL THOMPSON (Club Reporter) Election of officers featured the Nov. 26 meeting of the Cullasaja 4-H Club at the home of Mrs. to write a description of how I to have good posture. Wrote one boy: "Keep your head up, chest out, and adenoids In." Vernon Bryson. New officers are Norda Estes, president; Nina Cook, vice- presi dent; Turner Bryson. secretary: Janice Thompson, treasurer; and Carol Thompson, reporter. Carroll Arnold told the club about his recent trip to Brasstown for the 4-H training camp in crafts. The club made plans to serve cookies at the annual 4-H "Achievement Day". The price-depressing effect of surplus agricultural stockpiles cut net farm Income last year at least 20 per cent, according to market In* specialists In the U. S. Depart ment of Agricultural.
