SYLVA IS TO HAVE BALLOON ASCENSION JULY 4, FIRST ONE HERE IN 31 YEARS In celebrating July 4th on Mon day, the 5th this year, Jackson county citizens and Sylva's visitors will have the opportunity to see their first ballcon ascension since the county fair in 1917, and many of the younger generation their first in a lile-time. Through the efforts of Charlie Campbell, who is directing part of the 4th activi ties and the Merchants Association, Claude L. Shafer, famous balloon ist and parachute jumper, of In dianapolis, Ind., will come here for an exhibition at 5:30 Monday afternoon, the 5th. Shafer has appeared at fairs and various celebrations for a num ber of years, and his performances always please the crowds. His ascensions are made on schedule and his equipment is always the best. He appeared at Asheville last Sunday at the Recreation park where thousands witnessed his show. A picture of the balloon is shown in the advertisement on this page. It is shown on the ground, then at 2,000 feet and the small spot at the top of the picture represents 4,000 feet up, just before the parachute jump is made. The balloon ascensions and para chute drops have always been one of the most popular and thrilling Mr. and Mrs. J.

The ascension will be made from the Sylva Graded School grounds, or the Mark Watson Field, and will take place at 5:30 P. M. afternoon of July 5 weather per mitting. The committee has taken out insurance should it rain, or I bad weather prevail at the above time, due to the fact that it has taken quite a sum of money to bring the balloon exhibition to Sylva. Several dollars are being spent in advertising this gigantic 4th of July celebration, by radio, newspapers, window cards, and the bumper cards which appear on automobiles and trucks on the high ways within the next few days. If the old man weather will per mit, Sylva will witness its largest crowds in many of a moon. Nearby Bryson City, Franklin, Waynes ville, and the smaller towns and villages are being well advertised with handbills, window cards, etc., in a thirty-mile radius like a cir cus. Mayor Allison joins the 4th of July committee in welcoming people from far and near to visit our city ipr this great 4th of July celebration. Curb Market Committee Visits Henderson. Market The Jackson County Curb Mark et Committee consisting of Mrs. Dennis C. Higdon, President; Mrs. Lewis Bumgarner, Vice-President; Mrs. F. M. Williams, Secretary; Mrs. Blaine Nicholson, Member; Mrs. Garland Dillard, Mr. Blaine Nicholson, Mr. M. L. Snipes, Coun ty Agent; Mary E. Johnston, Home Agent; and a visitor, Mrs. Collins, visited the Henderson County Curb Market oh Saturday, June 19th to observe and study their Market. The committee felt by observing a successful Market where many thousands of dollars is handled why 'Stepping "Down " IS SO IMPORTANT TO YOU Mjdson amazes motor-car world by using vital "step-down" zone?not available in any other car?to bring you riding qualities and safety beyond anything known before! Word's going 'round?ami fast, too? that Hudson gives you a "sweet','smooth, safe ride that is a new high in motor-ear j>erformanee! Perhaps you've heard pleased and proud Hudson owners talking about this ex citing new exj>erience, but here's some thing you may have missed hearing: The key to this amattxng new ride lies in that area just under the floor of the average car, which in the New Hudson becomes the "step-down" zone?as illus trated in the sketches at the right. This "step-down'* zone is all-important, because experience has shown that the lower to the ground a car can be built, the better it will handle, the more sta bility it will have, the safer it will be, and thus the more enjoyable and com fortable will be your ride. Hudson, and Hudson alone, has accom plished a near miracle of low-built streamlining and smooth, safe, comfort able riding with , a new type of base frame which surrounds the passenger compartment, and thus permits the floor to be lowered down within it. Recessing the floor creates the "step-down" zone and a center of gravity that is the lowest in any American stock car ? yet road clearance is ample! That's why Hudson has a hug-thc-road way of going, even in cross-winds, and on every conceivable kind of highway.1 When you see houf this car takes even <4 the sharpest curves, it will spoil you for f any other type of automobilel You sense ' this delightful conformity to the road the minute you begin your ride; and this strtbility, plus the protection of riding encircled by a sturdy box-section steel frame, gives you a grand feeling of safe well-being. Sitting in this car is as downright satis fying as stretching out in your favorite easy chair. You ride on seats that are lowered and cradled ahead of the rear wheels and. even with its low silhouette, this breathtakinglv beautiful motor car gives you more head room than any other mass-produced car built today! Hudson's use of the vital "step-down" zone in its exclusive, all steel Monobilt body-and-frame* is a development that required years of engineering work, the perfection of new production techniques, and millions of dollars in highly spe cialized new plant investment. Perhaps this explains why Hudson alone offers this new design principle today. The nearest Hudson dealer has a booklet ?yours for the asking ?which explains how "stepping down" brings you advan tages beyofld anything known before!

This results in a high center of gravity, and either a high roof line or insufficient head room. NIW HUDSON?Here the important space be tween frame members, shown above, becomes the "step-down" zone?a highly useful addition to interior passenger roominess that creates s new, lower center of gravity, which in turn per mits greater safety, improved roadability and ride, a low, streamlined silhouette.

Hawkins, Missing 18 Years, Found (Continued from page 1) known through this entire section and is well acquainted with this rugged mountain section, having hunted and fished the entire region many times. The searchers took up the task Monday morning of locating some trace of the missing man. "Mr. Hawkins, 73 years old, was not in the best of health when he disappeared from his home and it is feared that he was taken sick and crawled off to some secluded spot and died, or that he has fal len off some of the high cliffs and killed himself. "An emergency patrol of the Boy Scouts of Sylva, including Marshall Cooper, Bob Moody, James Moody, Frank Askey, Earl Collins, Bill Moody, Bill Edwards, Edmund Brown and Hay Hooper, .went to Cashiers on Saturday to aid in the search." Funeral services were held Sun day afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Cashiers Methodist church with - each year from vegetables and truck, that would ordinarily be wasted they would be in a better position to present such facts to interested groups in Jackson County. TIMBER TALKS By W. C. H ENN ESSEE Wood, The Indispensable The years just passed proved beyond a s.:~dc,w of a doubt that civilization with all its conveni ences and modernization cannot survive without a few basic sub stances. Among these is wood. ? It is estimated that eighty per cent of all American families live in houses which are built chiefly of wood. While millions of peo ple use wood as the principal fuel for heating their houses. We hardly realize the many ways in which we use wood. This newspaper, for example, is print ed on paper which was made al most entirely from ground wood Harvesting of lima beans in North Carolina will reach its peak about July 1. Rev. W. N. Cook officiating. Burial was in the upper Cashiers ceme tery. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Rose Cam eron of Washington, D. C.; one son, Wade Hawkins, Cashiers; 13 chil dren; a brother, Jim, and a sister, Belle. pulp. In fact, most of- the knowl edge whidh mankind has accumu lated over the centuries is pre served and recorded for future generations by being written or printed on paper which is ^.ade of Wood pulp. Now that we have seen that wcod is definitely here to stay, let's devise ways and means of improving its quality. For many land-owners that will mean a complete reversing of present poli cies. Instead of using only the "cream" we may have to use the "whole milk", or perhap only the "whey" for a few years. In other words, the better trees must stay and the poorer ones must be weed ed out. Here are a few other suggestions to assure development of timber: 1) Dedicate one out of every ten acres on your farm to timber growth. (2) Select the land as to charac ter and capacity to produce alter native crops of greater value. * (3) Become a grower of wood and learn the techniques of the business. Idle waste land should be plant ed to trees. Place your applica tion for trees with the county agent now. LET'S KEEP JACKSON COUNTY GREEN.
