Middleton then pulled his gun and ordered Davis to halt. At this he turned and ran toward some hay stacks, the sheriff shooting over his head in an attempt to scare him into skipping. Seeing that he was gaining and would soon have the hay stacks between himself and the officer. Middleton lowered his gun and fired just as Davis start ed around the stack. When the Sheriff walked around the hay stack he found Davis on the ground dying from the bullet which pierc ed the pr.soners heart. The body of Davis was claimed by relatives early Sunday morning who took it to Clements, N. C., for burial. Prison Inspector Kyle Matthews told Sheriff Middleton that he had done the state a great favor by ridding it of Daws. Dean Bird Presents The Dean's List In Chapel First, before I present this list I would, like to mak. it clear that the "Dean's Li.-t" is not a special list of students that the Dean has picked as honor students. My position as Dean of the College has nothing what-S)-ever to do with the Dean's L.st. The Dean's. List is made up of students of the college who make certain academic and other achievements tnat we consider above the average for a "well-rounded college student and citizen. It is stated in our college -catalog on pages 25 and 26 that in order to encourage the develop ment of all-round students, a com mittee passes upon the eligibility of candidates for the Dean's List, a very special honor. First, a student becomes eligi ble for this recognition within the second quarter of his or her en rollment at Western Carolina Teachers College. To be cortsid ered by the committee, a student must: (1) have made the scholas tic honor roll during the quarter lor which the selection is made. "Now just a minute, just making the honor roll is hot the only re quirement, nor is it necessarily the most important characteristic re quired, but, as I have said, he must first make the honor roll. There are many other characteristics and requirements that the student must meet or exhibit which are per Tiaps less tangible but neverthe less just as important as the hon or roll. For instance, he or she must have been active in at least one extra-curricular activity, such as dramatics, or'athletics. or intra mural contests, or the student gov. grnment, or other elubsr or organi zations or societies on the campus. The student must have at least an average-on the General Culture test as compared with the national norms; must meet the require ments of tne committee as to so cial adjustment, leader.-hip, health, personality, attitudes and morality. Now as you will see, these char acteristics are sometimes very hard to judge or arrive at, but we have a number of people on the faculty, who are acquainted with the stu Allison Is Branch Manager Of Carolina Motor Club Office Oan M. Allison, owntr and manager of Allison Motor Com pany, Hardware and Used Car Sales, has been appointed branch manager of the Carolina Motor Club with office in the AUispn Motor Company building. M1) Allison tcok over the branch office as of October 1st. and is now ready to render the club's serv ce to all motorists. This office will handle all motor ve hicle license plates, beginning with the quarterly tag which can now be bought for the remainder of the year. The new 1949 li cense plates will go on sale De cember 1, he said. The new tags | will have black letters and fig - ' ,ures on yellow back-ground. PLENTIFUL FOODS LISTED FOR MONTH i October brings a shift in the : plentiful foods list of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, with ! grapefruit onions, cabbage, and | carrots moving into the lineup of i fresh fruits and vegetables, Miss Mary Johnston, home demonstra t on agent for the State College extension Service, >aid here this vveek. % Sweet potato harvesting will reach its peak in October to put th_ potato_s on retail markets in seasonally plent.ful supply, she said. Total production this year, she added, Will be less than last year and below the ten-year ave rage, but supplies most iikely will be plentiful during and immediate ly after harvest. Other new additions to the | plentiful 1st lor October i:.elude cranberri js. tre. nuts?pecans, walnuts, filberts, and almonds? prunes, raisins, dried figs, and can ned apricots, the home agent said. Though October harvests will put new plentifuls on the market, Miss Johnston called attention to the excellent supplies of canned citrus ,apple, and tomato products, fruit spreads, honey, and peanut butter which will be on retail mar kets during the next 30 days. Irish potatoes, grapes, oranges, and lemons ? all September plen tifuls ?' are on the October list, as are fresh and frozen fish, the agent said. dents in their various activities and who know them more or less intimately, and when this commit tee chooses anyone for the Dean's List you can be fairly sure that the student deserves this honor. Now before I present these stu dents for the Dean's List which the committee has picked for this very high honor, I would like to say that these students, having net all the qualifications for the Dean's List, w.ll get very special >: ivileges which the faculty and | me admiiusirative officers of the | vOiie^e gr nt to those named on I the list. Before I list these priv ileges, however, I would like to say that no student I know of in the past who has made the Dean's L.st has ever abused these special privileges. These privileges are voluntarily voted from time to time and may vary in different jchoiistic years. They are such Does Your Home Have CHILLS AND FEVER? IF SO...

Sylva P.T.Af Has Enthusiastic Meeting An unusually large number attended the -meeting of the Sylva Parent - Teacher associa tion held ' at the school house on Monday evening, Sept. 29, with Mrs. Dan Moore, president, presiding over this, the first meet ing of the" current school year. Miss Evelyn Sher; ill "was elected treasurer of the organization. A discussion period was held in which a number of members present expressed themselves as to the importance and need for an active P.T.A. organization. Much interest was manifested on the part of all pi\sent. Mr. Ralph Smith, principal, was ntroduced. Mr. Smith made an inspiring talk in behalf of his interest for the school. He also made on appeal for the high school library which is at present in very bad condition as to the num ber of books, on the shelves, the records, and condition of the books. It was then voted by the organization to employ Mrs. Glenn Stallcup to organize and catalogue the books and to give a statement concerning the books needed that the school may have an accredited library. The new teachers for the year such privileges as this: a student ( on the Dean's List does not have to attend classes unless he wants to; he w.ll be charged with no cuts. On class he can sit there and twiddle his thumbs and not pay any attention whatsoever to the teacher if he so desires. Now before asking these stu dents to stand up and receive this j honor, I would like to state that this group we have on the Dean's List consists of students who were h.re last spring quarter, and sev eral of them may no^J>e here to stand up today. We would like to 1 nave been able to announce this at our commencement exercises, but, you will understand, I am sure, that the examinations come just before commencement and it was simply impossible to get all thu necessary data on the students n time for commencement. So I will ask those who are here to please stand up when I call out their names. I Studtnts making the Dean's List were Charles W. Bird, Cullowhe.; Hayes Connor, Sylva; Florence C. Houts, Cullowhee; William Clyde Pressley, Speedwell; Louie Zim merman, Marshall; Thomas Gro gan, Canton; Robert B. Jones, Wil liamston; James A.

STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKER By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent Special metal cleaners wh ch re quire very little rubbing are avail able for cleaning copper. If- you prefer, salt and vinegar or lemon will do a good job. Sprinkle the copp r with salt and then rub with vinegar or a slice of lemon. Rinse well and dry with a soit cloth. In selecting Ml roasting and bal- ing uten-ils look for materials sturdy enough not to warp when exposed to high oven temperatures. Few seams, smooth edges, and rounded corners all make clean ing easier. Study the size and sh pe of your oven before buying casseroles, utility pans, muffin tins, cake and pie pans. Wherever possible select utensils which can be used for top range as well as for oven cookery. Plain seams in unlined jackets or in ravelly materials may be finished by turning the edges and machine stitching. Here is a new idea and a good one.
