L. McKee, of Sylva, state senator, for their guest speaker. The banquet was held on last Fri day night in the dining hall of the First Methodist church and was at tended by approximately 150 persons, which included the 53 members of the chapter, a large number of honorary members, fathers, a few mothers and other guests. Joe Calhoun, a senior I in the township high school, was toast master. Mrs. T. Lenoir Gwyn intro duced the speaker of the evening. Mrs. McKee, in the beginning, stated that she was addressing herself to the young people rather than tht older group as youth always listened with a more wholehearted attention. The speaker impressed upon those assembled the fact that the country boys are the builders, not only of the great agricultural developments, but they also represent the leaders in the great cities, that have been and are constantly drawing talent from the rural sections. She pointed out the high ideals of the farmer boy, which are not always centered around the making of money, but about the giving of service and the upbuilding of their community. She spoke of the influence of the church, and urged the boys to start early in life taking an active part in religious affairs. She told parents that their duty was not finished when they sent their sons to curch, but that they should go with them. Mrs. McKee congratulated the chap ter on their home county of Haywood, setting forth the various claims this section has in industry, business and farming, that make it an outstanding county in the western upart of the state. She called attention to the lead and progress Haywood county had taken in establishing agricultural classes in the county schools. The ritualistic service of the Fu ture Farmers opened the program. The Rev. R. P. Walker, pastor of the Presbyterian church, delivered the in vocation. Sam Queen, Jr., member of the freshman class, gave the wel coming address. Hubert Hooper, a student, told of the work and ideals of the F. F. A. Other features of the program were More Potato Blooms Brought Into Office Bob Leatherwood, of Canton, Route Two, brought in some sweet potato blooms to The Mountaineer last week. This is the second time this year that blooms from sweet potato vines havT been brought in. Older residents of the county report that they have often heard of the vines blooming, but that not in the past forty years do they recall having seen any. Jarvis Teague On M. H, Debating Team Jarvis Teague, of Cove Creek, was selected for the intercollegiate debat ing team at Mars Hill College last week, according to an announcement made by Professor J. B.

WASHINGTON To protect its i citizens from the moral and mental j deterioration which comes from ';drug addiction, the .United States ; government Is redoubling its efforts ito stamp out the illicit narcotics I trade. Und , Anslinger, federal narcotics com ; missioner, some 300 "T-men", i secret service operatives, are fer reting out unlicensed drug ped dlers, and doctors who divert legal supplies to illegal use. j Assuming the role of physician 'as well as detective, the treasury j department is constructing a 1,200 ' patient hospital for addicts at Ft. 'Worth, Tex., to relieve overcrowded ! conditions at the Lexington, Ky., unit. league Fights Menace Chief concern of the dope-fighters is to stop Illegal importations from the Orient. Co-operating with the League of Nations nar cotics committee, the United States has banned all manufacture of the deadly heroin, and reduced the opium intake to 72 tons of the crude product. Eight concerns are licensed by the federal government to manu facture opium derivatives. Their , outDut is governed by the legiti mate requirements of the medical profession. All pure narcotics, opium, mor phine and heroin, originate in juice of Asiatic opium poppies. Colored red, white or deep purple, these flowers are grown in 10 countries, from the Balkans to the eastern edge of Asia. "T-men" estimate that there are about 100,000 drug addicts in the country. Addiction occurs in all classes and in all professions, tiven babies may acquire it from ":ie milk of an addict mother. Crusade in High Gear Driven mad by the Insatiable craving for drugs, victims some times steal or kill to get them. This is the reason many of them fall into hands of the police, and receive federal year-and-a-day sentences. Unable to digest food, they be come veritable walking skeletons, with sallow skin and livid lips. When deprived of drugs they are; highly nervous. Many of them are ; unable to concentrate on any one j subject for more than a moment.; Since Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau ordered the drive against narcotics into high gear, 34 states have adopted uni form narcotic laws. With many record seizures recently made, the federal government seems justified in Its recent announcement that there is "definite Improvement" in the narcotics situation.
