Sylva Pastor Speaks To Church Men Here Approximately 60 attended an inter-church men's covered dish supper meeting at the Franklin Methodist Church Tuesday night, with the Macon Methodist Men's Club as host to men from other Protestant denominations. The Kev. Koy Be. I pastor ol the Sylva Methodist Church, was the guest speaker. He discussed the Importance of becoming "ad dicted" to good habits, emphasiz ing the habits of prayer, taking children to Bunday school and church, and "seeing and seizing" church responsibility. Wiley J. Clark, president of the Methodist group, presided, and the Rev. 8. B. Moss. Franklin pas tor, welcomed the guests and pre sented the speaker. i Student Cites Recreation Needs In Franklin Franklin and Macon County ? have bettered their roads. Improv ed the ln-town traffic control, ana beautified their communities; yet. they have done little for the rec eation of their youth. This was the observation of Miss Joan Thomas as she spoke to the Franklin parent-teacher associa tion at the school Monday night. The 17-year-old daughter of Sher iff and Mrs. J. Harry Thomas, the Franklin senior took part in a dis cussion of juvenile delinquency. She talked about the needs of youth. "The county, with its commun ity centers and basketball courts, and things like that, is a step ahead of Franklin", said Miss Thomas, "but it's still not enough." She cited the fdct that many teenagers leave the county for their recreation. "We emphasize trade at home but when our youth go elsewhere, they take their dol lars with them. "Then, later, when they have become adults, we encourage them to return to Macon County to live here. If we don't provide better recreational facilities, we can't ex pect them to." As a big help in meeting youth's recreational needs, Miss Thomas suggested a bowling alley and skat ing rink for Franklin. Other speakers on the program were Mrs. J. P. Cunningham, who spoke on curing juvenile delin quency in the home, and Mrs. Har ry Corbin, who told about what the local schools are doing to pro mote citizenship and discourage delinquency. Mrs. J. Ward Long reported on her recent trip to New Bern, where she attended a P.-T. A. workshop. Fred Vaughn, chairman of a P.-T. A. committee for presenting the schools' needs to legislators, was directed to contact State Rep. G. L. Houk and outline what the county is seeking. Miss Laura M. Jones conducted the devotional program. ^ ? Between 40 and 50 persons at tended. No. 2 baum, vice-president of traffic for Smoky Mountain Stages. ! Under the proposed change ? one of several made by Queen 1 City in the past two years since It acquired the smaller line ? i Franklin's 5:50 a. m. bus to Ashe- . ville was to be dropped entire ly, leaving only two busses depart ing here daily, one at 11:10 a. m. and the other at 10:25 p. m. It also was proposed to change the departure of the Atlanta bus from 3:15 to 5:20 p. m. The changes would have been effective today (Thursday) had they not been blocked by the utilities commiss ion. Continued From Editorial Pace VIEWS ? By BOB SLOAN street at least, and on the Georgia road. While the cost of building these sidewalks would not be as large as the amount required for an adequate water system, un fortunately there would be no re turn on the Investment. Traffic control and parking is another big problem facing any incoming board of aldermen. There has been some discussion of a town-owned parking lot. Here again is something that would call for the expenditure of a consider able amount of money which you might or might not get back in the years to come. Sewage disposal is a problem which this, or some future board, is going to have to face. The state board of health is not going to continue, always, to let us dump most of the sewage from the town of Franklin into a river. The longer we wait to solve this problem, the more difficult and costly it will become. Added to this is the constant clamor for more and better service from the town in such fields as street cleaning and police pro tection with the same or a re duced tax rate. Regardless of whether or not the board chosen is the one you would have selected, each of us should make a firm resolve to do all that we can individually to help them, because they sure have "a mule to ride". And it is a thankless job.
