Season To Continue To Oct. 1 Survey Made By Chamber Of Commerce Shows Many Places Will Remain Open To First. "It looks like the season will be three weeks longer than usual," Miss Nannette Jones, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce said yesterday, after contacting a num ber of places catering to tourists. Many places will remain open until October first this year, in stead of closing about the 10th or 15th of September, the survey re vealed. Letters continued to come in to the Chamber of Commerce asking for reservations to October first. While it is difficult at this time to estimate how much better this season has been over last, the gen eral opinion of close observers, is that the total will show a substan tial gain over the past few years. Mrs. Vernon Scales, of Norfolk, Va., is spending two weeks with her sister, Miss Inez Gregg. Last Friday Was Year's Hottest FViday was the hottest day of the season, according to the official reading here. The mercury push ed up to 90, for the highest of the day.

Superintendent Bowles express- ed appreciation oi ine parenis in their cooperation on the opening week in getting the children to school on time. He stated that in the latter part of September, the hour would be put to 9:00 o'clock and gradually set at later hours until the middle of the winter when it would prob ably be around 9:45 when the schools would open. There were a number of vacan cies in the faculties of the schools in the township due to last minute registrations, hut they have all been filled, so it was learned from Mr. Bowles, and the schools are starting the new term well equipped to carry on the work as planned. to get in the time for. Monday s holiday. The Unagusta Manufacturing Company, The A. C Lawrence Lea ther Company, Royle & Pilkington Company will be closed for the day. The Dayton Rubber Manufac turing Company will stage their annual picnic for their employees at the Piedmont on Saturday after noon between five apd six o'clock. About 400 will be guests of the company at the picnic and at a square dance to follow. County Schools To Have Lunchrooms; Mrs. Rufus Siler Named Supervisor Lunch rooms, which were former ly under operation in the schools of the Waynesville district and others in the county, will again be operated, it was learned from Mrs. Rufus Siler, who served as WPA supervisor and has been again nam ed to supervise the present pro gram. Each lunch room will be financ a rr tho nresent bv the school in which it operates, with the hope of I receiving in the near luture am from Federal funds to be admin istered through the State Depart ment of Education. The lunch rooms in the Waynes ville high and junior high school, in Central Elementary and in East Waynesville were opened yester day, and others will be opened today and tomorrow in the schools of the district. The operation of the lunch rooms under present conditions and set-up will largely depend on the patrons and friends of the schools. In or der for lunches to be served for ten cents, parents and friends are aakeH to take the empty jars owned by the county and fill them with vegetables, and fruits free of any charge. These donations of foods which were formally provided by the gardens and canning operation of the WPA will be necessary for the lunch rooms to operate. Another necessary measure will be that students will be required to bring food in exchange for lun ches, in cases where it is possible due to the food shortage. In many cases it will be impossible for cer tain foods to be bought, so in order that balanced meals be served, this requirement will have to be met, according to Mrs. Siler. In ins tances where a child cannot bring food they may pay for their lunches, but the food is preferred. Some of the foods that will be greatly needed in the lunch rooms will be: beans, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, corn, carrots, cabbage, sweet peppers, beets, apples, ber ries, nuts, meal, butter, eggs, milk, molasses, meat, and canned vegetables.
