No. 2 (he key to living and to pushing toward opportunity . . . Every man Is born with a bur den. The spirit is the only thing that can move that burden." Chancellor House was intro duced by Weimar Jones, editor and co-publlsher of The Press. Reviews Work Chamber President Verlon Swafford reviewed the organi zation's activities during 1956. The chamber's new committees already are at work, he said. Mr Swafford quoted a verse from Proverbs, "Where there Is no vision the people perish", and related It to the commun ity needs of Macon County. The chamber's 1957 budget, largest In its history, was ap proved at the meeting. The sum Is $4,500 Also meeting with the cham ber of commerce members at the banquet were members of the Franklin Lions and Rotary Clubs, and their wives, and sev eral out-of-town guests. No. 4 a county-wide supplementary level for schools. On the basis of Nantahala Township's present tax standing of $4333,525, the proposed 10 cent maximum would bring In $4333.52 on 100 per cent col lection. The power company's share of the amount would be $4,371. 74, since Its holdings in the township are listed at $4,371, 745. 15 Cents Mare Supt. Holland McSwain esti mated that a 15 cent boost in the county tax structure for achools would provide enough money to "benefit all schools", including Nantahala School's immediate needs. And, they seemed to think the estimated one million dollar increase In taxable property this year can provide the extra 15 cents. "This, though, is up to the commissioners,'' Chairman Pat ton observed. "The best we can do is let them know what we're op against." Nantahala Principal Jerry A. Hall and district school commit teemen D. L. Owenby, Jr., chairman, Arthur H. Cross, and John Wishon appeared at the board meeting to explain the tax proposal. Mr. Hall said "we consider It moral Justification to build up our school." He also pointed out that the ?parcely populated township "does not have the facilities to raise money like other school districts." Mr. Cross declared the supple mentary tax would let "us gain advantages other schools in the county have taken for granted for years." , "All we're asking is permis sion to help ourselves," Mr. Wishon said.

Wander where the birdies is? Well, It appears that Spring lnally has arrived. As a mea ure of assurance I submit Po iceman Homer Cochran's query. "Know where a fellow can >wap some long handled under wear for a good straw hat?" Jpb And while the subject of hats s warm (they have been In this olumn for some time now) the ^ranklin Garden Club's "Mad latter" party Monday afternoon iras nothing short of a chapeau iot. The club members really let heir imaginations ride side sad lie. One had a hat that was a cred table weather vane; another's /as made of kitchen utlns?ls; .nd several had chicks and birds testing and/or laying. But the one which really ap tealed to me at the time was Mrs. Brady's BLARNEY By A Br*d? Called J. P. Gilmer A. Jones'. Her fashionable ! bit of headgear was a gum drop tree ? a real gone temptation to one who is noted for his appetite. Jpb Still on hats ? referring to my recent column on hat types ? I gotta short note this week from Mrs. Arthur Stanfield in Eustis, Fla.. and clipping from the world ly Miami Herald. - "Have you seen any hats like these?" she asked. The clipping showed pictures of an odd assortment of hats, includ ing one shaped like a carrot top. complete even to a grasshopper snoozing on it: one with a fish dangling from the end of a line on a pole; an orange half with a limb still in the navel; and fin ally a hat with a luggage compart ment for carrying stuff to the beach. Continued Mrs. Stanfield in her letter: "Hope not. But, you Just keep watching and you will see them soon." Is that a promise or a threat. Mrs. Stanfield? Jpb ? We Just plain goofed In but week's Issue. In the story on Page 1 about the Franklin High vale dictorians, I mean. Through error. Jean Phillips' parents were not listed. They're Mr. and Mrs. Nat Phillips, of Route 5. and we're sorry about the whole thing. But the fact is. Jean has had such an interesting and full high school ca reer that their names were Just overlooked. Jean's remark 'our grapevine tells us) about it stands as a choice bit of wit: 4 "They probably think I was hatched!" Jpb A doff of the derby this week goes to Roy Biddle. Jr.. who Sat urday braved the perils of super vising the latent energy in about a dozen Royal Ambassadors from his church. On one stop over, he returned to his pickup to find the front seat loaded with boys. "Okay, fellows," he said calmly. "I'm the one that's supposed to be driving this truck." The boys obliged by piling up three deep in the seat and giving him room enough to scoot under the wheel. "It's a wonder I'm not sitting back in the bed," he mused, driv ing off in a cloud of dust amid the shouts and laughter of the boys. The annual count of livestock on farms January 1 showed few er cattle, hogs and sheep than at the beginning of 1966. I Community Development Organizations!
