Seven Months of Progress T - ." . t lr t 1 1 1 i j 1 j ii us issue or iviarcn iv, siignuy jnore than seven months ago, the Press se out its "platform" for the future development of Franklin and Macon county, That platform has appeared at the top of this column in each issue since. Fourteen planks were laid down, the fifteenth "new courthouse '.and jail combined" 'has been added more recently.. , These original fourteen planks set out fourteen needs of the town and county, achievvements for the future toward the accomplishment of which the past had contributed little or nothing. If is interesting to note how much of this program has been realizec' since March 19. ' Six of the 14 needs outlined have been either filled or are about to be filled; two other of the improvements suggested are under consideration now; on two planks the progress made might be considered subject to debate; of only four 'can it be defi nitely said, that no progress has been made or is contemplated. Consider the planks, one at a time: A COMMERCIAL HOTEL FOR FRANKLIN A modern conimjercial hotel is now under construction. EXTENSION OF THE SEWER LINES Such a step is receiving the serious consideration of the Board of Aldermen at this time, and indications point to the realization of this plank. BEAUTI F Y 'THE SCHOOL GROUNDS It is being done.-'' ' TWO HUNDRED SUMMER COT TAGES Yet to be realized. A SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT Under consideration by the Board ot Aldermen MORE OFFICIAL ACTIVITY IN THE SALE OF SURPLUS POWER Progress along this line probably is subject to debate. THE CONSTRUCTION jOF BUSI NESS BLOCKS Yet to be realized. PLANT ' TREES . ALONG THE STATE HIGHWAYS 0 F THE COUNTY-Yet to be realized. ' MAKE A WHITE WAY OF MAIN STREET Yet to be realized. AN EXCELLENT SCHOOL LIB RARY Progress made subject to de- bate. A PROPER BEATING SYSTEM, FOR; OUR SCHOOL BUILDING Now being Installed: " . COURTEOUS TREATMENT FOR VISITORS Progficss has sureW been . made along this line. IMPROVEMENT OF COUNTY ROADS CONNECTING WITH THE STATE HIGHWAYS There has been much good work done on county roads during the slimmer. CO-OPERATION,. VIM, PUSH WORK EVERYTHING FOR THE GOOD OF FRANKLIN AND MA CON COUNTY The organization of a chamber pf commerce here and the support it has received is one of many indications of a growing disposition to work together for the common good. i , Surely no . better indication of the fact that progress is being made here could be found. The completion of the program stands as a challenge to the leadership of Macon county and Franklin.' ' The Building and Loan Essay Contest .The Macon County Building and Loan -Association, which during four successful years has demonstrated its worth as an agency for the encour agement of thrift and of home build ing and ' home ownership, has an nounced the opening of its ninth series. It offers the .citizens of . Macon county men, women, boys and girls an opportunity to save money in the easiest possible way, for homes, edu cation, old age, or what not; to build or buy homes; and to invest their money safely at a satisfactory rate of interest five percent tax, free in the building of more homes in Macon county and Franklin. Its membership has so far come largely, from the town of Franklin Properly enough, its officers and di rectors want to make it what its name implies, a- county organization. And to his end they have launched a cam paign of education through the chan nels most suited to that purpose, the schools. y ; The Association has offered $25 in cash to the school child in this county writing the best essay on the subject : "How I Can Use the Building and Loan to Pay for a College Education." Nine business concerns of the town have offered additional prizes, so that a total of ten prizes are to be won by school children of this county during the essay contest which will close October 31. Thus the contest will prove highly interesting to the schol children. Ten of the contestants will be amply icwarded for their work Those who arc not fortunate enongn to win a prize will have made a good investment of their time, iii that they will have given definite study to two important matters: saving, and get ting an education. , " To make the contest still more in tercsting, the Press has offered ad ditional prizes for a little extra work. Those who, in addition to submitting an esSay for. the prizes offered, will secure one new, or two renewal sub scriptions to the Press, if winners in the contest, will receive additional re wards. If the essay . , winning first prize is accompanied by one ne"w, or two renewal subscriptions to the Press the. winner will take first prize and receive, in addition, $10 in cash from the Press; if the second prize win ning essay is accompanied by one new or two renewal subscriptions, the winner will take second prize and re ceive, in addition, $7.50 from the Prpw ; third nrize winner. $5.00 ad- - - w t r - ditional; and fourth, $2.50 additional. The contest would be well worth while as an educational feature it will teach the value of saving and wil1 create interest in securing a college educatiari if no prizes were offered. The prizes simply make it exciting for the youngsters of the county.; Teachers1 and parents can well af ford to take the necessary time to interest the school children in this essay contest. If they will explain to the youngsters how the contest may be won, and, at the same time, give them an insight into the workings of the Building and Loan Association the children will do the rest. And if they whole-heartedly enter the con test, they will be winners, whether the thing won be a prize or the some thing more valuable an inspiration to save money and go to college. A Warning Children going to and from school are warned to stay on the sidewalks. and to be exceedingly careful in cross ing the streets. It is suggested, that parents caution the little ones to take every safety precaution on their way to and from school. It has been no- ticed that pupils frequently walk in the middle of Porter street, instead of on the adjacent sidewalk. The school authorities might be able to assist the parents m seeing that the children use the sidewalks, Only recently, a girl about twelve years oL age, while crossing Main street near the Log Cabin Motor Com- pany, had her shoe torn from her foot ny a speeding motorist, thus nar rowly escaping death or serious in jury. For more than two years now reckless driving has been the rule rather than the exception inFranklin It is probably futile to look for any official . action toward the curbing pf this menace. Frequently the Press has called attention to this matter, but little or nothing has been done toward its abatement Should a child of Franklin be killed by a speeding autoist the public will have no diffi culty in placing the blame Golf For Franklin The Franklin Golf Club is to be congratulated. Organized slightly more than a week ago, it has already leased property on i highway No. 285 which its board of directors believes suitable for a golf course, and is readv to start work. The new course will be playable, it is hoped, late this fall A golf course for a tourist center is a necessity nothing more nor less Franklin's stock as a tourist town will go up about 100 per cent when sum me'r visitors learn that they can come here and play over a good nine hole course. And the board of directors, other things being equal, has acted wisely in choosing a location on the Georgia highway. It will be worth much to the town for motorists from Georgia to see a trolf course as they drive in to Franklin. Williamston takes first place in the limelight. Town taxes have been re duced 25 cents on the $100. Is any other place seeking like distinction? News and 'Observer. That's easy.. Franklin has cut her tax rate 60 cents on the $100 a cut just 240 percent bigger than that of Williamston. . OLIVE HILL SUNDAY SCHOOL BECOMES COMMUNITY BODY Continued from Page 1 this Sunday school, is the fact that every family in the whole community is represented. In other words, the old folk attend and bring the young folk with them, thus making it in deed and truth everybody's Sunday school. It has been built on the be lief that the adults should go to Sun day school and take the young people, rather than try to send the younger ones, with the result that they may or may not attend. . . Membership and various other con tests are held regularly to stimulate interest and keep the school growing, because it is necessary to go forward in order to keep from going back ward, there being no such thing as standing still in tie march of pro gress, whether it be along religious or, other lines.' In short, something new and interesting is always in store for those who attend the Olive Hill Union Sunday school. In all these contests appropriate prizes are of-1 fered for the winners. Much of the success of this Sunday school is due to the splendid program of song service offered each Sunday by Ernest Roper and his singing class. This singing class would do credit to any church in the land, and more than repays those who attend the school regardless of whether anything, else appears on the program. . , A special song service is offered every Sunday afternoon before Sunday school be gins. The school is sadly handicapped by lack of an adequate building in which to meet. The building is a small one room schoolhouse which is scarcely large enough, for the intermediate class. Under " existing - circumstances it is a physical impossibility to properly classify the students and divide them into the desired number of classes. However, all this just goes to sh.ow that a good Suaday school is not 'de pendent upon a good building and that it takes more than a mere build ing to make a Sunday school. A special invitation is always ex tended to visitors, regardless of their denominational name or religious be lief. This Sunday school has for its aim the teaching of the Word of God as recorded in the Bible, and everyone-is permitted to make the appli cation to his or her own particular case. This procedure is justified by the belief that , "the only salvation worth a snap is that worked out for self by self, with the help of God's Word and those who have already seen the light, heard the voice and answered the caH." The officers of the Olive Hill Union Sunday school are : C. C. Poindexter superintendent and adult teacher ; Will Swofford, as'isstant superin tendent; Beulah Tallent, secretary treasurer;, Mrs. Walter Campbell, in termediate1 teacher; and Miss Abbie Willis, primary teacher. , 2C0 CLUB WOMEN MEET HERE TODAY Continued from Page 1 the largest percentage of attendance at a district meeting. ','Wc want that cup for two reasons. First, as a special mark of loyalty to our State president, who lives in our district ; second, because one district down in the eastern part of the State has gotten it for three years, and we want to show the Federation that we. up here in the mountains, can have the best kind of .a meeting and win the attendance prize." The 1915 MacDowell Club, popu larly known as the Music Club, was organized in 1915, and federated with the State Federaiog in 1923. It is also federated with the North Caro lina Federation of Music Clubs and the National Federation of Music Clubs. The Study Club, -organized in 1923, federated with the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs in the same year. These local clubs will be hostesses today to the gathering of Western North Carolina club women. ESSAY CONTEST STIRS INTEREST Continued from Page 1 with the essay you submit ii the con test.
