Remodeling Main Street Increased Allotment Of Teachers, And Heavy Resignations Are The Cause Tlirrc arr at present 23 vacancies in the Waynesville district and Haywood county schools, it was learned from Jack Messer, county superintendent, this week. There has hcen lo date a total of 32 resig nations with nine of them filled. The vacancies are also due to an increase in the total allotment of teachers for the coming year based on the enrollment and attendance of the students for the past year, which allows for nine new teachors in the county and Waynesville dis trict. There are a number of reasons (Continued on Page Two) add that smaller communities, such as Sylva and Andrews already have small airports. "At the present time the Cham pion Fibre Co. has a large Beach craft plane and arc having to base it at Asheville-Hendersonvillc." slates a spokesman for the Patrol. "If we could get a modern air port they could base this plane here as well as a smaller plane to use for timber surveying. We have been told that several of the other manufacturing concerns in this territory are interested in buy ing a plane for rapid travel be tween their factories and their sales outlets." "It is the aim of Congress to provide airports so a maximum number of persons will learn to fly. How long these appropria tions will last no one knows, so it is felt that now is the logical time for the citizens of Haywood coun ty trj avail themselves of this Fed eral money." soon Annual Event Will Be Held Sunday Morning At Eleven Combined Methodist Choirs Of County To Provide Music For Occasion Haywood county citizens are In vited to join the Methodist Assem bly group at Lake .limakiska on Sunday for an all day program in the annual observance of Haywood County Day, which is sponsored by the officials of the church, ac- 1 cording to Dr. F.
