Station Robbed Of Gas Coupons And Much Wine Between 1.300 and 1,400 Gas Coupons and 32 Quarts Of Winp Takpn From I R. L.'s Esso Station. R. L.'s Esso Service Station, on the highway at Hazelwood, was entered sometime after midnight Sunday and Monday morning and 32 quarts of wine, and between 1, 300 and 1,400 gasoline coupons of all denominations taken. Officers were working on the case yesterday, and were awaiting a re port from a ringer print expert who had been call.d in on the case. Entrance was gained by breaking a small window, about 14 by 16 inches. The burglar made his exit through the same window. Eleven bottles of wine were found in the garbage cans Tues day, but not untij they had been broken. The missing wine was valued at $50, according to R. L. Hendricks, manager and owner of the place, which adjoins R. L.'s Grill. The Hazelwood police, sheriff's department, and expert finger print man from Asheville are working on the case. Three attempts have been made to enter the grill, Mr. Hendricks said, but this is the first time any attempt that he knows of has been made to break into the service sta tion. While numerous automobile ac cessories were available, none could be determined as missing, the own er said. Leaves On 30th ! e A Th,- i'-.g . !' tl:. Crn litp ( 'nrpei a: i''". i last Saturila;.'

Tax payers in Haywood County will get a break during the year 1943-44, according to the budget announced this week by T. J. Cath cy, county auditor. The tax rate has been set at $1..'?0 per $100 property valuation, which is 15 cents less than that of last year which was $1.45. Th present valuation of property ii Haywood County is estimated at $23,400,000.00, which is $200,000 more than the valuation set for last year. The 1943-44 budget appropria tion of $4411,554.77 which has been approved by the county commis sioners is around $118,000 less than the appropriation for the past year which was set at $4S1 ,.r)t',7.:lH. The current budget is around $(.4,00(1.00 1. ss than the budget of the year 1041-42. One reason for the lowered bud get of the past and the current year is the fact that th.re was no school building program last year nor will there be in the coming year, us was the case in the years prior to 1942-43. It is estimated that the school building program absorbed anywhere from $35,000 to $85,000 annually. The following is a summary of the funds to be expended by Hay wood County during the year 1943-44: 1 General Fund $38,300.00 Special Fund 14,971.26 Poor Fund 15,460.00 Building Fund 6,700.00 1). bt Service 89,710.00 IVnalty Fund 3,000.00 'Hospital Fund 65.886.60 The school fund is divid. d as , follow- : ' r".;'r'-o sVV.OfiH.OO C.a ,;al Outlay ... ..

Somewhere, A Wounded 3Ian Needs The Bandages Scire Wcman Failed To Make 'lunleer Red ' )0'i fo over that Mrs. J. E. Massie recently re turned after a visit to her son, Pvt. Ottis lassie, who is stationed at Keesler Field, Miss. Dr. Elmer T. Clark To Address Hazelwood .Methodist Women ' Dr. Elmer T. Clark, of the Board J of Missions of the Methodist church jwill speak to the women of the I Hazelwood Methodist Church at their church tonight at 7:30. Dr. I Clarke has recently returned from ta tour of the Latin American coun tries where he surveyed the work of the mission field. All the wo men of the community are invited to hear Dr. Clarke. The call f"i' more bandag. s from the v woik. i's in Waynesville has been increased. Th.- quota Augu-t will require hundreds of hours of work by women are anxious that Haywood men and their conn ad. s can h. I uly eared for when wounded. Th" bandages which volunteer Red Cross workers all the nation art- . aking, are among the essential things help restore wounded men back to health. With the increase in the demands for bandages, it means that the local Red Cross room must have many more workers. Failure to get adequate bandages made, means only one thing somewhere, sometime, some wounded man will have to do without. This war has come mighty close to Haywood, and hardly an issue of this newspaper is published without news that sad dens the hearts of the community. Next to news that one of Haywood's gallant fighting men has given his all or wounded, we know of no sadder news than "a life could have been saved, if we had had bandages." Haywood has never failed to make a quota in any war campaign or war effort. Haywood will not fail this time. There are too many brave, patriotic women in Haywood who will volunteer their services, and make bandages. The Red Cross room is open every day from Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 o'clock and on Thursday nights from 8 to 10. The men who are facing death to keep this nation free, are expecting the women back home to make the necessary bandaiges for their wounds. 1(,9 14 Sponges Made In July By Red Cross Women The r,r, woikers a' -he Red Cross rooms hme -pent 1117 hours making b.mdag 4 da ling JvJy, according to the remit ,,f uj, i. p r.nlUitt chairman of the smjcal dress ing rooms The upon si,,,w,d that 11,897 "f ' -1" i-.v.i by two bandages were made during- the month.
