Car Accidents
Hit New High
on Week-End
One Serious Injury
As Seven Autos
Are Damaged
During 14 Hours
One woman was seriously in
jured and several other individuals
received minor bruises and cuts in
automobile accidents in Haywood
county during the past week-end.
Only one accident required inves
tigation by the Highway Patrol,
but between 6:00 p. m. Saturday
and 2:00 p. m. Sunday, seven dam
aged vehicles were towed in to one
Waynesville auto repair shop, in
cluding the local police car.
The most serious collision was
between two vehicles on the
straight stretch from the Medford
Farm towards Clyde about noon
Sunday. A sedan driven by T. J.
Tesenair of New Bridge, with his
wife and four members of the
N. J. Rice family of Route 1, Ashe
ville, riding with him, collided with
the coupe of V. L. Reno of Waynes
ville, who was returning home with
his wife.
Mr. Tesenair braked his car
upon nearing a side road from
which it appeared another vehicle
was coming to enter the highway,
his sedan slid over the other side
of the pavement and into the front
part of Mr. Reno's coupe.
. In the, collision Mrs. Rice was
badly injured about the back and
ribs, and she and four others who
received slight injuries were taken
to the Haywood County hospital
f&r first aid, after which they were
taken to an Asheville hospital for
further treatment. Mr. and Mrs.
Reno received minor cuts about
their knees and hands, although
their car was badly smashed and
pushed off the embankment.
The series of accidents began
about dusk Saturday when a sedan
was damaged upon running into
the street corner at a drive-way
in front of Dr. Sam Stringfield's
residence. Shortly afterwards a
Pontiac sedan driven by a Lake
Junaluska visitor turned over near
the Junaluska school. The third
Saturday night accident was in the
Mooney Cove, when a man from
Iron Duff driving a Pontiac coupe
turned over three times in the
Mooney Cove Creek.
About 2:30 a. m. Sunday the
Chevrolet coupe of R. D. McElroy
of Waynesville went off the high
way near the Little Rock Service
station, also turning over three
times. Next in the series was the
collision below the Medford Farm,
and the last on the list was when
another local resident, Billy Mas
sie, ran into the left front fender
of the police car, being driven at
the time by Policeman Guy Messer.
The policeman's daughter, Linda,
was with him in the vehicle, and
received slight injuries.
Mrs. S. J. Shulhoffer, of Rich
mond, Va., formerly of Waynes
ville, arrived this week to spend
the summer here. She is a guest
of the Hotel Waynesville.
Cannery

Last year the cannery was a pop
ular spot about town, and 11,247
cans were filled at the place of op
eration. Of this number 2,909
number two jars were packed;
4,409 number three cans, and 3,385
in number ten tins. There were
363 glass jars packed for the lunch

are expected to prepare their own
fruits and vegetables but are given
supervision in the processing of all
foods.

state policy all persons using the
cannery facilities will be charged

Twenty-eight Haywood county
farmers sold approximately 4,000
pounds of wool for $1786. at the
cooperative wool pool which was

Redden Hits
Communists
In Holiday
Address
Future Congressman
Calls For Firmer
Stand In American
Policy
Denouncing Communism in this
country and internationally as
standing "'in the way of world
peace," Monroe M. Redden, the
Hendersonville attorney who will
represent this district in Congress
next January, delivered a spirited
address to Haywood county citizens
at the Fourth of July celebration
yesterday morning.
Members of the American Com
munist party "are the fifth column
which are boring within," he de
clared. "They are always at war
with our system of government . . .
and should not be allowed to exist.
We should," he advised, "turn to
the Bible and follow the command
ments of Mount Sinai if we are to
write a peace that will be fair and
just to all people."
Mr. Redden spoke to an enthus
iastic audience aUending the holi
day festivities at the high school
grounds. Following his speech, he
was the guest of the Boosters club
for luncheon at The Lodge, which
also was attended by R. L. Pre
vost, chairman of the program com
mittee, Jonathan II. Woody, George
A. Brown, Jr., William Medford,
Charles E. Ray, C. N. Allen, and
W. Curtis Russ.
Prior to his Independence Day
speech, Mr. Redden was introduced
by Mr. Prevost, who pointed out
the leadership of the speaker iii
promoting agriculture, industry
and the tourist business. "Mr.
Redden has been one of Western
North Carolina's most consistent
boosters, and hardest workers for
progress," Mr. Prevost said.
The future congressman began
his address with: "We meet here
in the first peaceful atmosphere
of a Fourth of July since 1941, and
yet one wonders just how lasting
is the tranquility of the day."
Recalling the courage of Amer
ican soldiers from (he battles for
national independence through (he
recent war, Mr. Redden remarked:
"He has risen (o every occasion
and has conquered every foe. That
is sufficient notice to our would
be enemies of the fudire that while
America seeks peace she is capable
of waging a victorious war.
"Perhaps no country in all the
world has sought a means of per
manent peace more than has these
United States ... We have always
been a nation nf appeasers to some
extent. This was not born of fear
or lack of courage. It is because
we were willing to go as far as
possible within the bounds of de
cency and respect to avert war."
Our desire to return to peace
time living and free ourselves of
governmental controls is blocked,
he declared, by communism.
"I concede the aussian people
the right to advocate the principal:;
of the government of their choice
in their own land, but I deny them
the right to send their fifth col
umns into other nations for that
purpose.
"The time has come when our
appeasement should cease and our
demands should be plain and un
derstandable." Following (his, Mr. Rededn hit at
the Soviet Union for restricting
the passage of American represen
