Methodists of the Waynesvillc
district from Canton to Murphy
here Wednesday night contributed
$6,105 to the Greater Junaluska
Campaign.
More than 125 attended the din
ner meeting at the First Methodist
church, and heard Bishop Costen
J, Harrell, and Luther W. Wells
explain the program of expanding
the facilities at Lake Junaluska,
at an estimated cost of $500,000.
Many pastors of churches of the
district a.e to make a report at
a district meeting Monday at Jar
rett Springs Hotel on the goal for
their churches.
W. Hugh Massie, a member of
the development committee of the
campaign, said this morning: "Our
quota for this district is $10,000,
and I expect many business firms
in this community to make liberal
contributions since this is going
to mean more people, and business
for this area. ,
"I shall be disappointed if we
do not get at least $1,500 from this
source," Mr. Massie said.
Mr. Massie also pointed out. that
there were several Methodist lay
men and civic leaders not present
at the meeting Wednesday night,
and he felt they would all make
liberal contributions.
Bishop Harrell told the group
that so far, the Western North
Carolina Conference had subscrib
ed $90,000 to the campaign.

The bishop cited the cultural
benefits, as well as the religious
benefits, and the added business
the program would mean to this
area.
He paid special tribute to the
founders of the Lake, and com
mented; "They did better than they
knew. Those people had faith, hope,
and the energy to put on a pro
cram that has proven beneficial
through the years. Sadly to say
little has been done to improve the
property in many, many years."
Then Bishop Harrell made the
astounding statement: "There are
fewer hotel accommodations to
day than 10 years ago. We have tak
en the facilities of a generation
ago. and let those tacinues run
Modern Motel Will

For Board Of Education
Three well known Haywood men
announced jointly this week, they

didates for the Board of Education.
So faf, this is the first group to
announce as a unit for any board
in the approaching election, .
The three, from separate parts
of the county, are: Letch Worley,
of Bethel; Robert Boone, Francis
Cove; and James Kirkpatrick, of

Tuesday morning, just before the
blood donor room opened in the
Hazelwood Presbyterian .Church,
President Rudolph Carsweil of the
Hazelwood Boosters Club smiled:
"We're going to beat the Lions
Club today."
He was referring to the 101 pints
of blood 123 volunteers donated at
Waynesvillc January 31 for a new
Western North Carolina record.
The Waynesvllle Lions Club had
sponsored that visit of the Red
Cross's Bloodmobile.
By 6 p.m. Tuesday, these figures
testified to the accuracy of Mr.
Carswell's forecast:
The Bloodmobile had 104 pints
of blood.
The donor room had received
155 volunteers. '
Both were new records for the
I American Red Cross Blood Pro
gram in Western North Carolina.
Of the volunteers, 79.6 per cent
were employees or tne unagusia
Manufacturing Company of Hazel-
wood.
This" turnout resulted from the
cooperation of the firm and Local
335, (AFL) Upholsterers Interna
tional Union.
The company gave all employees
all the lime oft" they needed to
make their donations. This didn't
affect their usual lunch period or
their pav, either.
All day long, taking only brief
time out for lunch. Mrs. Charles
Ray and the other Gray Ladles of
the Waynesville area Red Cross
chapter, Carsweil and members of
the Boosters Club worked in co
operation with the technicians and
physicians. ,
Aiding the Gray ladies with the
registration and care of the volun-1
teers were Mrs, Jimmie Reed and
Mrs. Howard Hyatt.
' Mrs. Charles Mcuarris, execu
tive secretary of the Waynesville
area Red Cross chapter, was in
there pitching with them from the
time the donor room opened until
ia closed shortly before dark.
" Fred Campbell, on' duty "with
the other Boosters Frank Trout
man, William Prevost, and George
Bischoff got heavy moral and
physical support from his wife.
The Gray ladies, working with
Mrs. Ray, were Mrs. Felix Stovall,
Mrs. John Giles, Mrs. William
Medford. Mrs. Jack Messer, Mrs.
N. F. Lancaster, Mrs. L. K. Barber,
Mrs. Roger Walker, and Mrs. Dave
Hyatt.
Helping to work the machinery
that set the new record were oth
er volunteers- Mrs. Carl Mundy,
Mrs.,C. D. Ketner, Mrs. William
Cobb, . Mrs. J. P. Harrod, and
Mrs. Raymond Lane.
The happy part of it all was that
a limit had to be set to the num
ber of volunteers available.
Said' Administrative Director
Homer Kidd of the Ashcville Re
gional Blood Center:
' "We just can't stay here for two
days. We have another engagement
tomorrow."
He made this statement when

The display Was arranged by
Miss Margaret Johnston, county
librarian, and If limed with the
publication of the special sup
plement of The Mountaineer
today.
As part of today's edition, is the 48-page tabloid supplement,
Years of Progress".
This supplement contains many photographs, and articles of the
era ot 1900 to 1920. TUe eeutlon was designed to give our readers a
glimpse of the past, as well as a look into the future.
No attempt was made to give complete coverage to any one phase
of the life in Haywood, such as schools or churches. It would have
been physically impossible to have done that. ,
This supplement was scheduled to have come out in late Febru
ary, but circumstances over which wie had no control, such as the
"flu" bug, and other obstacles, prevented the original publication date
from being met.
The staff of The Mountaineer have packed into this 48-page sup
plement a lot of interesting material, and no doubt, the paper will be
kept for many years to come, as a souvenir of the days of Haywnod
in the early 1900's, '

Under the second resolution the
committee would seek court ac
tion to Invalidate the State Board's
order and to prevent the installa
tion of the three members ap-
I pointed by the State Board if the
state agency does not comply with
the terms of the first resolution.
The resolution recommends that
if this action is necessary, it be
done through a writ of mandamus
and a restraining order.
The committeemen, though lash
ing the State Board's action m ig
noring their recommendations, de
clared unanimously that they held .
"no malice" nor found any fault
with the men the Board did ap
point Saturday.
The Board also had ignored the
recommendations of the executive
committees of seven other West
ern North Carolina counties.
Eighteen of the county's 22
precincts were represented at to
day's session.
Yesterday, State Attorney Gen
eral Harry McMullan, expressed
the official opinion that the aq-
Hon the State Board of Elections
took in the county appointments
was in excess of its lawful authority.
The opinion of the Attorney
General, though it cannot nullify
an action committed in breach of
a law, is the official interpretation
of the state law. .

Asheville, Elections Board Chair
man, was preparing for a meeting

agency at 5 p.'m. today at Raleigh.
