A. T. WARD, work in Veterans Administration hospitals to help provide adequate care for disabled veterans has been issed by the Veterans Ad ministration. Hospitals are clas sified in three group's general medical and surgical, tuberculosis and neuropsychiatric. Nurses work an eight-hour day, six days per week, with rotating shifts and ad ditional compensation for overtime. OP A PRICE ACTIONS Prices for the 1944 crops of a number of fresh food items have been set by OPA. Potato prices will be the same as for the 1943 crop except that for July there will be increases in the f.o.b. ship ping point prices of 20 cents a hundredweight in Nebraska and 30 cents a hundredweight in Kan sas, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia States in which adverse weather caused decreased yield. Retail prices of 1944 sweet pota toes with a national average of about 10 cents a pound over the 12 months will be lower than for the 1943 crop, OPA says. Retail prices for the 1944 red sour cher ries for table use or home canning will be about 18 cents a pound with stems and sold in containers and about 16 cents a pound with out stems and sold in containers. The f.o.b. shipping point prices for these cherries in containers will be 11 cents a pound with stems and 9 3-4 cents a pound without stems. Sold in bulk without con tainers the price is two cents a pound less than the container prices., Highest prices for fresh peaches for table use should range from 14 1-2 to Hi cents a pound, OPA says, as these peaches are now under price control for the first time. MAKE CHAIN FOR FARM USES To provide necessary chain for farm uses, WPB has issued in structions to chain manufacturers on filling orders for suppliers and dealers serving the farm trade. Chain that the WPB expects to keep available includes harness chain, wagon chain, cow ties, tie outs, halter chain, log chain under one-half inch and repair and lap links. ROUND-UP USDA says: In all States, farm ers who need lumber for essential maintenance and repairs on farms may get preference ratings AA-2 or AA-3, as hig as those assigned to any other civilian use. . . . civilian butter supplies for the last half of this year will be shorter than for the first half, in asmuch as production during the next six months is expected to be lower than during the correspond ing months last year and purchases for the armed forces are behind schedule. Fines Creek News By Mrs. D. N. Rathbone Seaman James Green who has been on sea duty for sometime, is now spending a furlough here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Vance Green. Mallie Woody has returned to Wilmington where he holds a po sition with the North Carolina Shipbuilding Company, after spending the past two weeks with his family here. Mr. and Mrs. V. B. Green, and Mr. and Mrs. Lee Green spent Thursday in Sevierville, Tenn., where they visited the uncle of the former, Milas Green, who is ser iously ill. IS 137 -July 6-13-20-27, Trustee. A. J. Rathbone has as his guests at his home near Max Patch, his daughter, Miss Effie Rathbone, Miss Bonnie Wines, Miss Beatrice Wines, Milton Blalock and Lester Brown, of Spartanburg. Warrant Officer Robert Green, of the U. S. Navy, who has been serv ing in the Atlantic war theatre, is home on leave with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Green, in the Cove Creek section of Fines Creek. Corporal Roe Ledford has re turned to his post of duty in Ar kansas after spending a furlough here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Ledford, at their home in the White Oak section. Fines Creek men in service who have been serving overseas, all seem to agree that there is no place like Haywood. The crops in this area are much refreshed after the rains of last week. A man went into an insurance office to have his life insured: Agent Do you drive? Man No. Agent Do you ride a bus? Man No. Agent Do you fly? Man No. Agent (snapping curtly) Sorry sir, we don't insure pedestrians. Wahing Pretties, Make Curtains Last Longer Washing is not merely a matter ol prettying the curtains. It is a means ol making them last The sheerer and more fragile your curtains arc, the more necessary it Is to protect them by washing them as soon as they need it Before putting curtains into cool sudsy water, loose dust should be shaken out Let them soak for about 13 minutes, then squeeze out the blackened water and place in fresh lukewarm suds, either in the washer or tub. Run the washer about five minutes for fragile curtains; eight or ten minutes for the more dur able ones. Before going into the washer, lacy curtains should be put into thin pillow slips so the agitator will not break fine threads. For hand washing, a light rubbing against the washboard or between the hands may be needed to remove all the grime. Rinse, starch lightly, and dry on a stretcher or by hanging evenly over the line, being sure to square the corners. Many curtain fabrics, especially those with a net or mesh weave, shrink during washing. This should be taken into consideration when they are purchased or made. If no such allowance has been made and the curtains have shrunk materially they can be re-lengthened by false facing the top and bottom hems, or by adding fringe to the bottom hem, or by a bias fold of contrasting material. Enact Laws to Govern Increasing Bicycle Traffic Appearance of a growing number Of bicycles on the nation's streets and highways since 1940, coincident with restricted motor vehicle trans portation, has led many cities to enact ordinances and take other steps during this period to regulate use of these vehicles. At present, three of every five cities in the country report an ordi nance in effect for the regulation of bicycles, according to information to the American Municipal associa tion. The information is based on an analysis by the American Automo bile association of answers from 326 cities In a survey to determine the seriousness of the bicycle prob lem and steps taken to meet it. The survey Indicated that about 54 per cent of the regulatory ordinances have been enacted since 1939. Most of the cities require registra tion of bicycles, 118 requiring annual registration and 66 requiring regis tration whenever bicycle ownership changes hands. The registration fee charged most commonly is 25 cents, with 50 cents next in line. Three of the cities reported a $1 registration fee. Food Yeast Processing Food yeast has a protein value twice that of meat and, more impor tant still, Is exceedingly rich in B complex vitamins. It costs as lit tle as 10 cents a pound, and can be easily manufactured, shipped, stored and used. The present manufacturing meth ods were developed in England in 1940. It Is made from molasses and ammonia, and will soon be in full production in both this country and England. The process, a continuous one, consists of planting 125 pounds of this new yeast strain in a vat con taining 7,000 gallons of water, a ton and a half of molasses and some am monia. The yeast feeds on the sug ar in the molasses, and the ammonia provides the nitrogen that the yeast converts into protein. Normally the yeast would ferment the sugar, re sulting In alcohol, but in the afore mentioned manufacturing process, the mixture is stirred by 1,000 cubic feet of air per minute, which prevent fermentation. The yeast multiplies itself about 16 times in weight in 12 hours and emerges from the vat as a ton of creamy mass which is then dried and ready for use. Electoral College Voters cast ballots not for the President directly but for electoral candidates, who are nominated in various ways according to state laws and who are pledged to vote for the candidate of their party. Each state has as many electors as it has U. S. senators and representa tives combined. It is the electoral vote and not the popular vote which elects the Presi dent The electors meet on the first Monday sfter the second Wednesday in December at a site directed by their state legislatures to cast their votes. The ballots then are sealed and each electoral college appoints a member to deliver the vote at that state to the president of the senate. The senate and the house of repre sentatives meet in Joint session at 1 p. m. on the following January 6 to hear the vote counted. Plane Production In building a typical fighter plane, the first plane to come from the production lines. Model "A," took 157,000 manhours to build. Tenth plane of that model took 59,000 manhours. By that time the engineers were beginning to discov er ways and means to improve the ship, so the 13th plane was a slightly revised model Model "B" which still took 59,000 manhours to build. Despite design and model changes and changes in specifications, the 100th plane took only 26,500 man hours to build and the 1,000th, only 7,800 manhours.

Prior to entering the service they were employed by Hyatt and Company. HERE and THERE By HILDA WAY GWYN (Continued from page 2) down the river from the dam. From its 400-foot walls come tons of rock, which is crushed. It is car ried on moving belts over about two and one half miles of mountain side to a building that looks like a fancy silo. Here it is mixed with water and cement to become con crete. The concrete goes on another belt to a hopper at the end of the construction bridge, 420 feet above the river bed. This hopper is a sort of "Grand Central station" for the construction. Looking down on the upper side of the dam, is about as impressive sight as we have ever seen. It is breath-taking to look down and then across the great expanse of mountaineous area and to realize that soon water will cover the sec tion. A staggering realization of how man and nature can work to gether, when experts plan the construction. After the tour of the village and construction area followed by the meeting, the trip was closed with dinner at the cafeteria. We were loath to leave, for we had been told that the sight of the men working on the night shift, with the area lighted by electriciy with the "light of day," is of major interest. In fact we hoped to get buck to view that very sight. Maybe we can get Jonathan to take us on that promised trip. The ride back just after sunset along the winding road, which had lost its disturbing effects, with Mrs. Bryson taking her time, was a thing of sheer beauty. The reflec tion of the trees in the river and in Santeetlah Lake is beynod description. Fontana dam makes one want to live bekond their alloted three score years and ten to vision the world of tomorrow, of which the project is a symbol of the vast changes and improvements that will continue to make America the greatest nation on earth. If fakes thousands! of telephone calls to build a bomber ...and this country is making more bombers than ever before Mor planes, mor ships, more of tverything for war mean more Long Distance calls. And right now things are moving double-quick. Today with war in its critical stage, everyday is a rush day for Long Distance telephone lines. You can help keep the lines clear for war calls j by making only really urgent calls. More calls get through quicker when every body helps that way.
