H HomeDemocrats 1 Redden In ( Wednesday, Will Be Last Rally f Meeting Before General Election The final big county-wide Democratic Rally before the General election on November 7 will be held at Qualla school house on Wednesday, November 30 at 7:30 p.m. with Congressman Monroe M. Redden as the principal speaker. County Chairman Dan M. Allison announced the rally Tuesday'and he is urging all Democrats of the county to be on-hand to hear Congressman Redden. There will be other entertainment as part of the evening's program, Mr. Allison said. The Congressman was In Sylva Tuesday on a visit with party leaders in Western North Carolina. He has been staying close to his home in Hendersonville since Congress adjourned several weeks ago due to the critical illness of his 71-year old mother, a patient in an Asheville hospital. In speaking of the new building just being completed here for housing the Syl\*a postoffice, the Congressman stated, "I feel that j a building constructed by local people and leased to the Govern ment is better for the county than to have a Federal building. When ever a Federal building is put up the property then goes off the tax books forever. As it is the town of Sylva and Jackson County will get annual taxes .from the property." He said that when a congressman gets a Federal building for his district every other congressman in every district in the nation also gets one, entailing the expenditure of millions of dollars. While an office in Sylva might cost $200,000, one in New York or elsewhere may cos# $5,000,000, thus a big difference in the amount of money going to tne districts. Congress is not making that kind of appropriations now, he said.

Shrubbery For Sought For Hi A call has gone out from John Corbin and his Sylva High school class of Future Farmers of America boys for shrubs suitable for landscaping the grounds in ironi of Sylva high school building Since there are no funds available for such work through school board channels and since the class itseli does not have the money with which to buy shrubs from a nursery they are sought by donation locally. Mr. Corbin and I his boys will see that the planting is properly done if plants and shrubs of perennial nature can be given for that purpose. ^ Anyone having such shrubbery willin-g to donate it to the school is urged to contact Mr. Corbin director of vocational work in the Sylva area. 4 | THI Comiii Lo Hear ^ualla Rally Nov. 30th l i;: K\v^;X; : ! ; .
