'Your 'SO' Feeds Dealer" CULLASAJA GROUP SEES TB MOVIE Mrs. Russell Tells About Health Meet; Workings Slated By MISS MARIE JENNINGS (Community Reporter) Those attending the May 7 meeting of the Cullasaja Rural Community Development Organi zation at the school saw a film about tuberculosis entitled, "You Can Help", shown by 4-H'ers Morris Bryson, Carroll Arnold, and Furman Ledford. Mrs. Pritchard Russell reviewed I the recent health conference held at East Franklin School and dis cussed the benefits derived from the local fund drives. She also talked about rural health resources and cited things the community can do to help people with health problems. She announced that the mobile X-ray unit would be at Cullasaja community on May 21 and urged every one to get a free X-ray at that time. The song service was conducted by Mrs. David Stanfield, Mrs. Roy Stiwinter, and Mrs. Leona Sadler. Pat Cable gave the de votional and led the group in prayer. May 18 was set as a clean up day it the Sugarfork Cemetery and May 25 at Salem Cemetery. All members are asked to help with this work. The time for the monthly meet ings has been changed from 7:30 to 8 o'clock. It also was voted to join the 1957 W.N.C. Rural Community De velopment Organization.

Settled Got e Sutone e Propane ?Heard, And Seen ON MACON BYWAYS By ROLFE NEILL Considering the interest in gift ed children in Macon County ? al though at present we have no spe cific program for them ? I thought some would like to know what Portland, Ore., is doing along this line. At Portland, they don't think just in terms of high intellectual achievements. They talk of "ex ceptionally endowed" children. This may cover auto mechanics, music, writing, dancing, and so on. Now in its fifth year, the Ore gon program provides for: 1. Many kinds of unusual ability. 2. Experimentation with meth ods that will develop such abili ties, and training of good teach ers. 3. Development of an education al plan for promising students which will avoid permanently fixed grouping. 4. Cooperation with colleges for following up students from the program. ? A SIGN was placed in the win dow of a Bidwell Street home bear ing the notice: "Piano for Sale." In the window of the house next door another sign appeared. It said: "Hurrah!" ? "DONT I KNOW this place? Didn't it used to be up on the head of Eniijay?" ? Indeed it did, Don B. Smfth told the man. "It was the old Henry log cab in," the visitor went on. "Aunt Peg Henry. She was noted for her cooking and her hospitality. I've eaten many a meal there." Mr. Smith, who operates a mountain products shop on the Highlands road, just beyond the Franklin town limits, bought the old log structure, moved it from Ellijay, and had it put up again on his property. A planed board was found when the building was being dismantled with- the carv ing on it: "T. P. Henry, 1885." THE STATE superintendent of public instruction satt it: "Reason as we may about it. gush as we may about the nobil ity of the work and the glorious rewards of it hereafter, back of this question of better teachers must still lie the cold business question of better pay." Yes, the state superintendent said it. But that was J. Y. Joyner, in 1907. I regret to inform Mr. Joyner that times haven't chang ed. ? A DOWN-East reader writes a letter about the special education issue of The Press, most of which was written by teachers, inciden tally: "Some sort of prize for the spe cial edition should go to your paper. One thing that I was par ticularly interested in was the story on Miss Elizabeth Kelly. She was our authority on everything about teaching in the days when I was teaching. I had not even thought about her coming from Macon County." ? KELSO, WASH. That's the post mark on another letter. It ans wers a question asked in this col umn a couple of weeks back. "You wonder If we have Tar Heel conventions. No, we don't, but quite a few of us Tar Heels attend the same church." And here's some news of inter est to folks In Cartoogechaye: "Well," the letter continues, "I had better tell you that Walter Anderson's family and the oth ers arrived safe and sound. But Instead of a population of 13,015, Longvtew now has about 23,015. It Is a pretty city. Kelso, which adjoins It, has about 9,000. There are a lot of Tar Heels In both places." ? THE SUBJECT turned to court reporting, not by the newspaper people but by the court stenog rapher whose transcript Is the of ficial record of the proceedings. Guy Houk was right, I believe, when he said it won't be long be fore electronics will take over. Mr. Houk points out that it all could be done on tape. This would end forever the question of who said what and exactly what he said. It's the exactly business where things sometimes get com plicated. ? DESPITE THE several requests of his wife to. get the TV set re paired, Buddy Blddle let It slide. About halfway through the time when Gypsy Rose Lee was sched uled to be on the other night, his wife Idly commented that this was the evening the famous strip teaser was making an appearance. The set was fixed the next day. ? LAX DILLS, from Poplar Cove, was In town telling of the glories of fishing. Pishing, I thought, cer tainly Inspires men to eloquent FHS Seniors Tour W.C.C. Thirty-nine Franklin High sen iors with plans for continuing their education after graduation this spring recently toured the campus of Western Carolina 'Col lege for a sampling of college life. The seniors had lunch In the college cafeteria, heard a musical program presented by Dr. Rich ard-Renfrow. went swimming in the college pool, and watched a tennis .match between W. C. C. and Carson Newman and a base ball game between W. C. C. and Lenoir Rhyne. Those making the trip included Lewis Cabe, Alex Cabe. Douglas Mann. Dale Myers. Bill Fouts. David Pollock, Larry Potts.

He said there's nothing to beat them and I vowed to take his word for it until I could sample a mess of them for myself. ? BULL DURHAM tobacco has gone the way of Arbuckle's cof fee ? off the market. Tobacco chewing is Brady's news beat but in the Interests of tobacco chew ers everywhere I pass on this word from W. E. (Gene) Baldwin. There's to be no more of the big 35 cent Reynold's and Apple plugs. Mr. Baldwin said a sales man so informed him the other day/ Seems the tobacco in those was 10 years old or so, bought at a cheaper price. To make the big plugs with newer, higher priced weed would make the selling cost too much. You'd better lay in a supply boys (if there's any left). A. R. C.
