Orders have been taken through the schools of the county and the bait will be placed about scores of farms. Town crews from Waynes ville and Hazelwood will carry on the fight against rats within the city limits. The two-day campaign is being sponsored by the Farm and Home Agents, Vocational Agriculture Teachers, Farmers Home Admini stration, Haywood County Com munity Development Program, Haywood County Health Depart ment, and the towns of the county in cooperation with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Bait is available at the schools where the orders were placed. Haywood citizens were reminded this morning that a deficit of $4, 200 must be added to the 1950 polio quota for county to be "out in front". Johnriy Johnson, local chairman, pointed out that Haywood started off this year owing $4,200. In addi tion to this, the current quota is $15,200, which simply means "that we must raise $19,400 in order to be in the clear". The drive started last Monday, and while many encouraging re ports have come in, Mr. Johnson said this morning, ''unless there is continued cooperation, and liberal contributions made, we may not reach our goal of $19,400, We can not afford to have a let-up at this stage of the campaign". Some industrial plants, including Dayton Rubber Company, have gone far ahead of the quota assign ed them. Reports from others are not complete, Mr. Johnson said. The Dime Board, as operated by the Rotary Club, is receiving much recognition, and a large attendance is exoected at the annual Presi dent's Ball on Saturday night, the chairman explained.

Work On Spring Hill Church Started A group of 75 men began the tank of clearing the site of the burned Spring Hill Baptist church Saturday, with the women of the church serving lunch, as restora tion of the building began. Actual construction is schedul ed to begin this week, with Lloyd Pruitt, in charge of building. Rev. Cay Chambers, pastor, said that the new structure will be pushed as fast as possible. The same general plans of the church which recently burned will be fol lowed, with an enlargement of the auditorium, and change of vesti bule. The church was dedicated last April, and represented an invest ment of $40,000. Much time and materials had been donated. The church had $30,000 insurance when it was totally burned. Rev. Gav Chambers said that since so many people had expressed a desire to make contributions to ward the new structure, that ar rangements had been made for such donations to be left with Miss Merrill Green, at the First National Bank, and June Reister, at the bank in Canton. No time will be set for the com pletion, of the building, Rev. Mr. Chambers said. "That will depend largely on weather and availability of materials," he explained.

State Group Gives Report On Haywood The formal report, embracing practically every school in Hay wood, (outside the Canton area) was included in the report of the State Survey Committee, and re leased here today. The committee was here in De cember and made a survey of the schools, and then wrote their rec ommendations, which have been Presented to the State Board of Education. This report, signed by V. C.

On October 5. 1950, survey committee made a study of the Maggie, Rock Hill, and Lake Junaluska Schools; and il was deemed necessary that further study he given the balance of the county schools. This was accomp lished on December 4 and 5 by a committee consisting of Supt. T. C. Roberson, Chairman, Supt. H. Bueck, J. H. Duncan, and J. S, Kirk. The committee visited each school in the county with the ex ception or Cataloochee Elementary and Mt. Sterling Elementary. These two schools are very small, seven pupils and 'forty-five pupils respec tively. The reason that Ihey were not visited is duo to their extreme remoteness geographically. They ""Ji,re WaV' withlir ' the ' Smoky Mountains National Park near Cfitaloochee Creek and near Big Creek on the Tennessee line. The committee was assured by the Superintendent and local Hoard members that it would he only a matter of time until the t'ataloo- chee School was abandoned but that, in their opinion, the Mt. Sterling School would continue since it is localed near the power development at Waterville. The committee was accompanied both days by members of the new ly elected Board of Education and from time to time during the two days by one or more members of the newly elected Board of County Commissioners.

All of the schools in the Waynes ville School district were visited during the first day. This was fol lowed by a mass meeting at the County Courthouse Monday even ing. The committee participated in the discussions. On the following day, all other schools in the county were visited with the exception of those enumerated above.
