Fire Breaks Out
On Roof Of Boyd
Building Tuesday
Slight Damage To Building
And Practically None To
Merchandise.
Slight damage to the building
and practically none to the mero
chandise resulted from a fire on
the Tear roof of the Boyd Furni
ture Company, which caught from
sparks from the flue settling around
the chimneys on the roof around
dark Tuesday evening.
When the blase was discovered
it was spreading between the ceil
ing of the second floor and the
roof. It was necessary to cut into
the top ceiling in order to get the
hose to the fire. In this way it
took a lot of water to extinguish
the fire than the blaze.
Due to the quick action of the
firemen and the thoughtfulness of
friends who carried the merchan
dise to the front of the building,
while he was on the roof, Mr; Boyd
stated yesterday that aside from
slight water damage to the build
ing there was scarcely none to any
of the furniture.
It's Fall . .

J. C. Brown, Local
Agriculture Teacher
Attended Meeting
J. C. Brown, president of the
State Agriculture Teachers' Asso
ciation, attended a meeting in
Greensboro on Monday of all group
chairman in district number four
of the division of the State Agri
culture Association.
Plans for agricultural advance
ment in North Carolina were pre

ing.' ...
Old Time Sunday!
North Carolina will quit day
light saving time at 2 o'clock Sun
day morning and go back to East
ern standard Time. Governor
B rough ton said yesterday. . j
Daylight saving began July 28
and was slated to end at midnight
September 28, but the Governor
advanced the sign-off time 22 hours
to avoid radio complications and to
conform to action in adjoining
states.
The Mountaineer got this infor
mation from the Raleigh bureau
of United Press last night.
Considerable confusion has re
sulted from the time, and the Gov
ernor said yesterday that if the
State adopted daylight saving
again next Summer it would be
on a national basis and not sec
tional as now. Trains and buses
operated . on Standard Time, and
many rural sections dung to the
old clock.
The switch-back will mean ad
vancing the clock an hour, from
2 to 1 o'clock, for instance, giv
ing Sunday 25 hours.
Predictions Are That Local
Grown Calves Win Sell
High At Friday's Sale.
A group of 16 of Haywood's
fat baby beef won first place as a
county group at the Western Car
olina Fair near Hendersonville
yesterday.
Livestock men returning from
the fair last night were enthusias
tic over the prospects of the Hay
wood calves bringing top prices
at the annual sale which will be
held Friday at one o'clock. A num
ber of buyers from the county
are expected to attend.
Some of the best calves in the
county were not taken to the Hen
dersonville fair hut are being kept
here and further groomed for the
State Fair and Southeastern States
fair in October.
Claude Francis, president of the
Haywood Livestock Show, predicted
last night, that all of the Haywood
calves at the Hendersonville fair
would bring top prices. He esti
mated 15 and 16 cents per pound
would be realized on the animals.
Reports reaching here were that
the exhibits at the fair were very
good, with lots of cattle and farm
products on display.
England Needs Foods That Are Best
Produced In Haywood, Says Jeter
"Great Britain is asking America
to feed several millions of her cit
izens. She is asking for those
things that are best grown here in
Haywood," Frank H. Jeter, state
extension editor told the Lions
and Rotary Clubs over the weekend.-
"Haywood can raise high quality
beef. Milk is easily produced in
this county, and eggs should be
produced in greater quantities.
Haywood apples are known far and
wide, and England can use them."
Mr. Jeter during the course of
his address, pointed out that the
was a time when it was generally
conceeded -over the stats that pe$
pie in Haywood county did Aot
work together on any project. ,
"IH say it in Haywood, and I'll
repeat it in any county in the
state, I think you have one of the
best extension groups, and afford
ing them the finest type of co-op
eration. All of you are to be con
gratulated on this achievement."
At Rotary, a number of editors
of this section of the state were
introduced.
The Lions Club on Thursday
night was host to officials and
judges of the livestock show.
Wayne Corpening was in charge
of the Lions meeting.
