The 9th, 10th and 11th grades are being permitted to use the electric ma chinery, each boy obtaining a written permit from home for this privilege. The machinery was purchased by the government last spring for the five defense classes, as well as a number of the tools. The class room furniture and chairs being made by the students will be finished by next week.

No. 3 shows the fine calf that was bought from Al bert Poston by the George Brown Supply Company, No. 4 was bought by Felix Stovall. The animals weighed approximately 1,000 pounds each. V V Several of the prize winning 4-H Club baby beeves, which took hon ors a the Haywood Livestock Show and at the Western North Caro lina Fair will go on sale here this week-end. Haywood business men bought eight of the Haywood calves at the annual sale conducted at the Hendersonville fair, and here in Waynesville the prize beef will be sold a C. E. Ray's Sons and The Food Store. As at ' all such sales, higher prices were paid for the prize win ners than the open market af fords. This was done to encourage the boys, and to help reimburse them for the extra expense envolv ed. in raising such fine cattle. The firms selling the beef are offering it at less than Cost, although the price is above that of standard grades of beef, it was pointed out. "The premium prices for the premium beef will not let the mar kets come out with a profit," the :Ounty agents said. "These mar kets cooperating with the farmers in this instance is encouragement and a boost for the stockraiser to raise better stock." Interest in the sale of the premium beef led some market managers to believe that the supply would be exhausted by early Satur day morning. WWNC Cafe has stocked up on the premium beef and will serve it this week-end. . v Strikers At AshevilV Mica Co.

Huge Power Project Will Bring Many Visitors To Jackson County Site On Monday. '.-...; .'. 1 :'- '.'-.:- The new Glenville dam of . the Aluminum Company of America vill be formally dedicated on Mon day, October . 13, with Governor Broughton . making the chief address.-- ?':'.'':.. "': . The exercises will be held at the rite of the Jackson county dam at 1:15 o'clock, and the general pub lic is invited. The ceremony will signalize the capture, in the Jackson county area of 30,000 h. p. to be transmit ed as electric energy to the huge aluminum works at Alcoa, Tenn., ind there used to add 11,000,000 nounds to the nation's annual pro duction of aluminum. Attending the exercises will be a large group of distinguished en gineers, business men and public officials. D. Hiden Ramsey, gen eral manager of the Asheville Citizen Times Company, will in troduce the governor. ' Following the program at Glen ville, a trip will be made to Nan thala to .view the power develop ment there, which, is expected to be completed early next summer. The two dams, newest units in the Aluminum company's hydro electric development of theLittle Tennessee river system, have a number of interesting features. The Glenville project's gross head of 1,215 feet is the highest east of lhe Rbckies, while the Nantahala dam, rising 250 feet above its stream bed, will be the highest rock and earth fill dam east of the Mississippi. Its maximum head of 1,005.0 feet ' will be the second highest in the Eastern United States. ' Water from the Glenville reser voir will have a pressure of more than 600 pounds per square inch. The turbines are at the power house, three miles downstream. Connected with an Allis-Chalmers 50 cycle, three phase generator, it will create electric energy to be transmitted over 37 miles of high tension lines to Nantahala, and thence to Santeelah and to Alcoa, site of America's largest aluminum producing works. '-i , ' To reach the power house water from the dam will pass through three and a half miles of steel pipe and tunnels drilled through moun tains of rock. : The dam will create a 1,400 acre lake to be filled from the water of a 40 square mile drainage area. The dam consists of two parts, the main dam across the channel of the west fork of Tuckaseegee river, and a saddle dam across a saddle in the hills just to the left of the main dam. ;,: The main dam is 150 feet high, about 900 feet long, and more than 800 feet thick at the base. In the two Glenville dams is a combined total of 1,300000 cubic yards of rock and earth. Construction of the Glenville and Nantalala dams, both begun in July, 1940, wrote finis to the his tory of two communities: The old village of Affuone, in Macon coun ty had to be razed when work was begun at the Nantahala develop ment. The site of the commun ity will be 100 feet under waters of the lake to be created by the Nantahala dam. The village of Glenville in the Glenville reservoir likewise was razed. At Glenville, 1,155,800 pounds of dynamite was used in tunnel boring and mountain smashing,' while a new blasting record was set at Nantahala when experts of the Atlas Power company fired JO tons of explosives at the dam site. The Nantahala dam, which will create 60,000 h. p., will be 350 feet high, 1,080 feet long, and will be 1,000 feet thick through the base.' When it is completed, more than 2,000,000 yards of material will have gone into its construction. Piled between mountains, ' it will Create a 1,631-acre lake, controlling a drainage area of 90 square miles Work progress on the two jobs called for a rising peak of employ ment then a gradual dropping off toward their completion, officials explained.
