THE TRANSFERS of Highway

been called off. Officer Miller, we
understand, will remain here and
Pfc. Leming will remain in Jack

WATER, WATER everywhere
. . . and it won't be long before we
wont have a drop to drink!
WHY NOT observe a safe and
sane Fourth and remain in Frank

stead of risking life and limb on
the highways? Why not?
JUST $100 keeps the cancer
drive from going over the top of
its goal. Have you forgotten to

THE WIFE of publisher Bob S.
Sloan is the originator of a new

The steps came to her rather sud

THE RAINBOW Skating Rink

Skating anyone?
POOR FRANKLIN! Hard to
figure out who'll claim it. A neat

Tennessee.
THE MUSICAL Miniatures En
semble of the Boston Lyric
Theatre will appear in concert to

eral from here will be on hand
for the event. No admission will

AIR ACTIVITY has been getting
heavy at the local airport. That's
a real community asset and one a
lot of small towns would give their
eye teeth to have.
IS THERE anything new on the
Indian Mound? This could be a
top attraction in the area if some
organization with some enthusi
asm would get behind it.
TOURIST ACTIVITY is mount
ing daily. Could it be the opening
of US 23-441 that's doing it?
Restaurants and motels are doing
lively business and there are a
lot of strange faces along the
main stem during the day.
WORD HAS it that young Bruce
Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred

Rollman Wins
Fight To Keep >
Name Off Ballot
Republican candidate Heinz
Roliman has won his fight to keep
his name off the short-term bal
lot in the special election for Con
gress in the 12th district.
A court order was issued Mon
day restraining the State Board
of Elections from putting his
name on the short-term ballot,
which will fill the unexpired term
of the late Rep. David M. Hall.
However. Mr. Rollman will re
main as his party's nominee for
the regular two-year term in the
November general election.
The Waynesvllle industrialist
asked that his name be left off
the short-term ballot, explaining
that he felt a congressman could
do little or nothing In Washington
because Congress will adjourn in
July. Attorney General Wade
Bruton earlier had ruled that Mr.
Rollman's name would have to be
on the ballot since he did not
withdraw 30 days before the date
of the special election. An at
torney for the candidate, after
obtaining an Injunction, argued
that he did not have the oppor
tunity to withdraw because the I
election date was not set by Gov. '
Hedges In time for Mr. Rollman
to give the 30 days notice of with- i
drawal.
Black Mountain's Boy A. Taylor,
the Democratic nominee, is tunn
ing for both the short and regular
terms.
The attorney general said a
place will be left on the ballot
on the Republican side for voters
to write In the name of a candi
date if they wish.
