Drive Is

The Waynesville area 1950 Tu
berculosis campaign is $40 short of
an X-ray machine for the County
Health Department.
Treasurer A. J. Fancher report
ed last weekend that contributions
through Saturday totalled $960.06.
The goal is $1,000, the amount
required to equip and maintain an
X-ray machine for a year, in the
battle against TB.
The fact that the drive is still
short, with 1950 Christmas now his
tory, wasn't so disappointing to
campaign workers.
Saddest aspect of the campaign
was that only 565 people thought
enough of it to make a contribu
tion. In last year's campaign, 654 peo
ple responded to the appeal.
Mr, Fancher declared it would be
unfortunate if the county were
denied the use of so vital a piece
of equipment in combatting TB
simply because $40 couldn't
raised.

In general, officers described it
as "one of the most quiet" New

Only six persons were arrested
in Waynesville over the week-end,
and only one of these was arrested

At midnight traffic increased
only slightly more than usual.
The old year was ushered out
to the melody of the usual explos

But even this volume of appro-

for New Year's Eve.

Haywood County improved its
record on the highways in 1950
compared to the previous year.
At midnight last night, the coun
ty closed out the old year with th
toll showing seven dead and 28 in
jured. Though the record is still tragic,
officers were encouraged by toe
comparison with last year's.
In 1949, highway accidents in the
county killed eight men, women,
and children, and left 42 others in
jured. Up to noon today, the county's,
record for 1951 was spotless.
The New Year weekend, usually
a critical one like other holiday
weekends, failed to produce a re
port of a single serious accident :
Last fatal accident which occur
red on the county's highways, hap
pened on October 31. The victim,
a woman, died of complications
three weeks later.
Two accidents cost four of the
seven lives lost last year.
Two brothers were killed in
single collision early in 1950.
Last August, a woman and her
young daughter lost their lives in
the Cruso section when they wer
struck by a car as they were
crossing tile highway at night.

tributed $22.90 to the community
treasury.
The event was held at (he Aliens
Creek School.
Haywood County's first white
baby of 1951 is Johnnie Scott
S'anfurd.
Johnnie Scott was born to Mr
and Mrs. Went Scott Stanford of
Canton when the New Year was
only five hours and 36 minutes old
and he tipped the scales at
healthy seven pounds, ten ounces.
It proved a double blessing for
the young Canton couple:
For being Haywood County
New Year baby. Johnnie Scott won
the score of prizes awarded by
Waynesville area merchants;
He was the very first child born
to them.
The attending physician was Dr.
11. A. Matthews of Canton.
The shower of gifts couldn't have
fallen in a better place, either.
