f MSB SIX Third SeeifonJ THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER FRIDAY, Redden Promises Active Representation To Area Urging a stronger regional unity and a vigorous program o build and develop the potential resources of Western North Carolina, Monroe M. Redden, candidate for the Dem ocratic nomination for representa tive from the 12th congressional district, made an election-eve state me' t in which he urged the citi zei i of North Carolina to shake off the shackles of inaction and go after some of the opportunities that are offered now. "Those who ask you to wait two years before you undertake to get a more vigorous representation in congress, are asking you to post pone for two years the steps that should be taken now if this section is to keep pace with other resort areas," Mr. Redden declared. "They are asking you to stand on the sidelines and watch the parade go by instead of pitching in and going after the things this section should and must have. "We need more industrial plants which will mean more jobs for our people and less taxes against our property. "We need to expand our tourist business and develop the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and construct proper highways leading into the Park. To this end I propose a meeting of the con gressmen from North Carolina and VOTE FOR J. STATE S A Business Leader In Haywood For 35 Years A Man Who Knows The Needs Of The State and County O A Man With Legislative Experience TOTE Tennessee, so that we may jointly advocate the development of this Park. "We need to exploit our agricul tural advantages so that the farmer can enjoy a better standard of liv ing. We need to remove certain restrictions from the farmer so that lie may have freer action in his efforts. "We need to cooperate with our Chambers of Commerce, our Boards of Commissioners and our public spirited citizens, in order to adver tise and build up our great moun tain country. We need to encour age our young people as they gradually assume the leadership in their respective communities. We need more Junior Chambers of Commerce, more public-spirited co operation on the part of officials. Your Congressman should be a part, in fact, a great part of these endeavors. He needs to do more than make laws. He needs to help make a better community. He should be a builder, the architect of this district. Are you satisfied with present conditions? Why wait and wait and wail. The opportun ity is yours now if you vote for a change. "If elected to Congress I expect to give the people of this district active representation.

Paid Advertisement ENATE GOT HIS STRIPES There reemcd to be nothing In the world that Private Sawtell couldn't do. Around Manila, where he served, they called him "the most versatile man in the army." One day, when an officer wanted a haircut and the barber was away, Private Sawtell volunteered to do the Job. "Were you ever a barber?" asked the officer. "Yes, sir," replied Sawtell, "I was a barber for three years." A few days later another officer, heartily tired of the regular camp rations, wanted a special dish pre pared. "I can prepare it, sir," said Pri vate Sawtell, sali'f ing. "Did you ever 'ook?" he was asked. "Yes, sir; three years' experi ence, sir." The dish was marvelous. Three days later the colonel's horse threw a shoe. Sawtell fixed it. After that he was, successively, dentist, letter writer, watch-repairer, leading ten or In the camp show, and a dozen other things. In all these tasks he claimed long experience, and in all he served superlatively well. One day the colonel called Saw tell into his office. "Sawtell," said the colonel, "I have a warrant for your arrest. Seems you're badly wanted back in the United States. You have been a particularly valuable man, Sawtell, and I hate to lose you, particularly as you will have to go to prison." "Oh, that's all right, colonel," re plied Sawtell. "I've had experience four years in Leavenworth." RIPE OLD AGE Nit That parrot is ninety-five. Wit He's awfully green for his age.

Time for Bluing Authorities agree that the soapsuds which loosen soil are likely to send bluing down the drain along with dirty suds. So the best time to use bluing is in the very last rinse. 94 Per Cent Of Haywood Farms Have Mapped Out Plans For Current Year A recent summary made of 1946 Farm Plans filed with the Haywood County AAA committee, as request for assistance through the 1946 Agricultural Conservation program, reveals that 94 per cent of the county's 3,000 farm operators have mapped out their plans for the cur rent year. According to R. C. Francis, chair man, Haywood County AAA com mittee, approximately 8,000 tons of limestone and 3,800,000 pounds of phosphate are expected to be used under the 1946 program. The county committee estimate that 60 per cent of the lime and 80 per cent of the phosphate will be used to increase the grazing capacity of pasture land. The rest of the lime and phosphate will be used to im prove the quality of crops and to promote the growth of winter cover crops that will aid in retarding erosion. Mr. Francis said that the amount of limestone now being used on Haywood County farms is three times greater than was used in 1936 and phosphate twelve times greater. "Despite this fact," Mr. Francis added, 'i't is only a small part of the amount which should be used each year to bring our cropland and pasture to maximum production." Over 100,000 pounds of winter Monroe Redden is tl Haywood Coianty ai the District Needs Congress Yote cover crop seeds are expected to be used in the county this fall to improve the soil and protect it during the winter months. Approx imately 600.0 acres are expected to be planted in Austrian winter peas; 2,000.0 acres to crimson clover; 1,000.0 acres to vetch; and 100.0 acres in ryegrass. Seventy-five per cent of the county's allocation of funds were used last year but this year, under the more flexible method of ad ministering the program with as sistance based on the need for con servation and the operator's ability to perform the practices it is ex pected that 100 per cent of the county's allocation of $73,810.00 will be used. The final date for filing 1946' Farm Plans was extended by the state committee to June 1st. All farmers in the county who have not yet filed their farm plans with local committeemen are urged to do so immediately. No practices can be approved for payment un-: less they have been listed on the i farm plan and filed by this date.
