Jackson Touri To Be Discuss* All persons in Jackson Countj engaged in the tourist business have been invited to a meeting tc be held Tuesday night, Februarj 7 of r?Vlru^lr ot fnrolinfl Hot^l The purpose of the meeting is tc organize a Tourist Association foi the county in which the people keeping tourists may better promote their business through the AnsocifHion. The mootfntf Is hoin^ sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce in its efforts to help those in the tourist business. Presidenl Felix Picklesimer is very anxioui for all people interested in the tourist industry to be present fox the organization. The Chamber of Commerce is again planning to print for distribution a tourist accommodation list and the names of all such places in the county are needed $2.00 A Year?5c Copy School Named To chool Heads ew Building Love Field Vicinity Wfi nr/v/ic#A// /4 Central Location For more than two years there have been discussions concerning consolidation of the Sylva high school and Webster high school and a new school plant somewhere in the vicinity of Love Field. There is no doubt that a large consolidated high school building situated on desirable grounds would be a great asset to Jackson County. It would be a symbol of pride and progress and high school students of this area would have far better advantages with the added facilities it would provide. The citizens of Webster and Savannah townships and sentiment all over the county seems to be that now is the opportune time for us to acquire this new school plant or perhaps the chance for such will be lost for many years. To spend several thousand dollars for additions at the present Sylva plant in the opinion of most citizens seems a waste of money, aside from the fact that Love Field vicinity affords much more desirable grounds from the standpoint of health, and who is not interested in the health of our youth? The Love Field site would provide a much better athletic field than is now^ available at the old plant. Surely citizens of Webster, Sylva and Jackson County through sufficient cooperation can push thte^moventiriU forward and see their dreamt realized. Approximately 200 citizens of the Webster school district in a mass meeting at the school house Friday evening agreed that the present school is only sufficient for needs of the elementary school and favor consolidation of the Webster and Sylva high schools* provided a new central plant iserected, otherwise it is preferred to maintain the present school with 1 added facilities and classrooms if such can be obtained. A committee has been appointed to confer with county and state departments of education. Named to the committee were Dan G. Cowan, Ernest Lewis, D. D. Davis, Harley Buchanan, Joel Whetmore, Mrs. Mack Hall, Mrs. Dan Davis,. Oliven T. Cowan, M. r>. Maaison,. G. C. Turpin, J. C. Buchanan, Homer Jones, Don Frizzell, J. H, Patterson, Joe Fulmer, D. C.
