Chamber of Commerce. Here are a few, "handy tips" meted out by the CIO on the art of letter writing. They will apply to anyone who wants to write a member of Congress. The first thing to remember is to treat your congressman' with- re spect. Address him as "The Honor able John Doe, Member of Con gress," or "The Honorable J6hn Doc, U. S. Senator from ." Be sure to send the letter to the right address: the House Offipe Building, Washington 25, D. C, if he s a congressman; the Senate Office Building, Washington 25, D. C, if he's a senator. And, most important, be sure he can read what you write. If your handwriting is on the difficult side; tho CIO News suggests you ought to have it typewritten. Don't forget to sign your name and list your address. The con gressman naturally is more- inter ested if you are one of the people who can send him to Congress, or keep him away. The CIO advises that the con gressman "is human, too".' It sug gests that "request" and "call at tention to" letters are better on his constitution than the "we demand that you do such and such" type. Because congressmen are busy men, the CIO urges that letters be brief and to the point. "Put your congressman to work for you," the journal says, adding that the man is in Washington to work for all his constituents. It suggests that in addition to telling your congressman what you think about bills, ask him where he stands. Pat the man on the back wheit he makes a good speech or votes right, or gives you some special' service. i At all times, bo yourself.

He came to Broad way with the Minsky brothers. Johnny Florea, a Life magazine photographer, had written Eddie from somewhere in the Pacific, and forwarded an offer which Eddie said he'd seriously consider if he could make up his mind whether or not Johnny is ribbing him. 'Johnny says he had an offer for me from the Sultan of Jogjakarta in Indonesia to go there and coach his dancing girls. He says it's the largest group of dancers in the world," Eddie said in all encer solemnity. cuuie came up under amusing circumstances. Having been sue. cessful purveyors of undraped fem ininity down around 14th Street Billy and Abe Minsky looked to Broadway and went to the Ham merstein firm to arrange leasing the Republic Theater on 42nd Street. When Billy Minsky arrived at Hammerstein's, Eddie Lynch heard he was trying to lease the house and decided he'd like to become a stage manager or producer for the burlesque tycoons. So Eddie jump ed about the stage and mad noises very suggestive of an experi enced theatrical executive, drop ping suggestions but making sure that he stressed economy. When the theater was acquired, Minsky asked if Eddie Lynch could be included in the deal. As it turned out, no one was sor ry. Eddie, while possessing some what less genius than Minsky had hoped, was just the same an ex cellent burlesque producer. "But I might think seriously about quitting for a crack at In donesia," said Eddie. HERE and THERE (Continued From Page Two) proof needed how the county library is used by our people . . .

There are 161 species of parrot like birds in the region of Aus tralia and New Zealand, ranging from the tiny fig-parrot to the Kreiil black coekaton. nALHIGIr The Cherokee tr. dians are getting tired of troop ing to the Indian agent on' the reservation every time they want to make a sale or trade involving more than $10. That is only one of the Indians' complaints that prompted State Rep. Dan Tompkins of Jackson, one of (he counties in which the Cherokees live, to send up a reso lution last week asking Congress to emancipate members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Tompkins timed his introduction so that the resolution, if passed, will be- put before- Congress about the time a U. S. Senate committre takes up the Langer bill, whie-h calls for freeing all Indians in the United Stales from the llureau of Indian Affairs. Although some North Carolina residents sineerely wish they didn't have- to pay State taxes, the Chero kees are unhappy because they don t. Citizenship Is Goal "Wc want to bo cititens of the Stale and pay taxes," one Indian recently informed Tompkins. And Tompkins, who wants the State to have a full barrel with which to pay teachers higher salaries, is all for giving the Indians their wish. According to Tompkins, tho Bu reau of Indian Affairs regulates the Cherokees with a firm hand. In order to make a sale or trade involving more than $10, an Indian first must, get approval from the Indian, agent on the reservation. Another major complaint aimed against the Bureau is its failure to give assurance to Indians that they can keep plots of land allotted to them. With such uncertainty abounding. Indians are reluctant to make any permanent improvements on their lots. Once Owned Laad It wasn't always like that. The land once belong to the Cherokees, who purchased it in 1830 when the principal pari of the tribe moved west of the Mississippi. The East ern Band of Cherokees worked out an arrangement whereby they own ed the newly-purchased lands (lo cated in Jackson, Swain, Graham, and Cherokee counties) as tenants in common, subject only to the rules and regulations promulgated by their tribal council and the laws of the State. Several decades ago. acting un der the belief that their lands were to be allotted to the individual members of the tribe, the tribal council deeded the land to the United States in trust. But the United States never made perma nent allotments and the power for merly held by the tribal council BURLEY SEASON EOT) NEAES ASHEVILLE' Wlttt the last weelc of hurley tobacco sales un der way, indications point to a 9, 0A0.00O pound season, second high est in the 16. years the Asneville market nas Deen in operation.

Tompkins said, "and want to feel that they have as much right to run their own affairs as any ot her residents of the- State." Get Your - - - HAILS At Builders Supply Phones 82 - 83 r roii Local Shoe Merchants To Their Customers Av&wt Jle&u Aoe Priced During the late fall the wholesale price of shoes advanced very sharply. All shoes that merchants have received for 90 days and all that are being shipped for the Spring season are being shipped at these higher prices. These higher prices prevail with every manufacturer re gardless of the brand of the shoe or its price range. Here's The Rfeason Before the OPA went out, shoes were very scarce. The reason for this was that our government held the price on raw hides to a very low figure. Nor would it permit tanners to import leather. When the price on domestic raw hides was about. 15e per pound, the world price was about 30e. When the government restrictions were removed, the price of domestic raw hides advanced' to the- world level. In order to obtain hides, the tanners had to pay prices that were approxi mately double those before OPA went out. The price of finished leather jumped way up. When the shoe manufacturer had to pay higher prices for leather, he had to charge more for his shoes. From all the information we have we believe that for 1947. Ihe price of shoes will hold at about one-fourth (25rr over those for 1946. Shoe stocks in the various stores were practically nothing when the higher priced shoes started coming in. Consequently the higher prices were rcfl cted immediately in retail prices. As merchants we don't like this and we know that as customers yon don't like it. As merchants we know that eventually lower prices will come and that every merchant will take a loss on his stock when it does. Our Pledge To You. As your local inei chants, we make this pledge to you: 1. To buy and show you the best values we can find on the market. 2. That our shoe departments will be operated on the lowest margin of markup possible. In other words, that we will give you the best shoe values at the lowest prices that we possibly can. Our advice to you is to buy good shoes. THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT BY THE FOLLOWING FIRMS RAY'S SHOE DEPT. Wovnesville THE TOGGERY Hugh Massie, Owner BURGIN'S DEPT. STORE C. N. ALLEN & CO.
