Dr. Frank H. Jeter, extension editor of State College, was the principal speaker, pointing out that "Working together was one of the secrets of Haywood's suc cess in going forward." 'I always find in Haywood a spirit of understanding of each other, and their problems, and you will find that you can't dis like person you understand," he continued. Dr. Jeter used a lot of wit and humor in his address, and in the more serious moments discussed the role of the scientists in their research, and their question of "Why?" The research departments find the answers, and your county agents tell you "How," the speaker said. t armers are speaKing a new language and farmers who learn the new ways, are the ones who are going forward, and cashing in on the profits, he continued. In discussing the world-situation, Dr. Jeter pointed out that the agri cultural job ahead is a large one, with no room for hysteria. "We must realize that North Carolina is a young state, and with over 30 per cent of our popu lation 15 years of age, or younger, we must remember that we have a big and bright future ahead, pro vided we work now for that fu ture." He concluded his address by putting emphasis on the fact that "North Carolina must stay strong Principals On Demonstration Farmers' Program ' FX These six were the key figures appearing on the annual Demonstration Farmers Banquet here Mon day night.

(Staff Photo. 48 State Road Building Program Is Now Completed Official year-end figures show that the State Highway Commis sion has completed 48.4 per cent of the 12.000-mile secondary road paving goal set by Governor Scott two years ago. 5.811 miles paved since January 1. 1949 cover work done with the $200,000,000 bond issue and regu lar Highway funds as well. The Commission had on December 31, 1950 finished roughly one-fourth of the 35.000-mile stabilization mileage also announced as a goal of the Scott Administration. Through January 1, 1951 some $62,000,000 of the $200,000,000 bond issue fund had been expend ed by the Highway Commission. Another $55,000,000 already is al located to specific road projects planned for completion this sum mer. Dr. Henry W. Jordan, Highway Commission Chairman, estimates that the pace of roadbuilding has been tripled during the past year over proceeding years largely be cause of the availability of bond funds. At the same time more work Women Man Hose It" we must keep going ahead." T, J. Jamison, of Canton, enter tained the group with his usual homespun philosophy, and kept the audience in a continuance laugh ter, as he mixed some good advice in with his address. 10. Suggestions for the produc tion of commercial flocks: (a) There is a place for addi tional commercial flocks in Hay- wood County, for 80 to 90 per cent of the eggs purchased in our sur rounding territory are imported.

The Mayor and Board of Aldermen do not feel that they are doing justice to the tax payers of the Town of Waynesville to con tinue to furnish water to the Town of Hazel wood until all the delinquent payments on water have been paid and that the Town of Waynesville will not and should not sell wat er to the Town of Hazelwood at the rate low er than that fixed in September 1, 1949, other wise the tax payers of the Town of Waynes ville would be bearing part of the burden of the cost of water used by the Town of Hazel wood, However, in justice to the citizens of Hazelwood who may not be responsible for the failure of the Town officials to act in this matter this notice is being given to the Town officials and to the citizens of the Town of Hazelwood in particular so that they can have a reasonable time to act in this matter before the furnishing of water for necessities of the people of the Town of Hazelwood and for fire protection shall be discontinued. The Town of Waynesville, therefore, . gives this notice to the officials and citizens of the Town of Hazelwood that unless the ' settlement is made on or before February .20, 1951, no further water will be delivered by the Town of Waynesville to the Town of Hazelwood..... Several years prior to 1949 a former Board of Aldermen of the Town of W'aynesville made an order increasing the water rate charged to the Town of Hazelwood and notice was given to the Hazelwood officials, but the Town of Hazelwood would not agree to pay the increased rate and the former Town of Waynesville Board passed over the matter and did not enforce the collection of the higher rates. The present Town of Waynes ville, officials are not willing to overlook the increased rate adopted by them. Done by order of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the Town of Waynesville. J. H.
