Just what part the moon played
with traffic on Friday night has not
been determined, but Haywood's
five patrolmen, found a sleepless
night as they handled the trying
situation.. -
It , all began about ten o'clock,
just as the patrolmen were closing
their day's work.
First it was - Patrolman Bryan
Baysden that nabbed a drunken
driver on Highway No. 19A-23. He
brought the driver to jail, and
about that time Cpl. Smith came
in with a speeder, caught in Way
nesville making 65 miles an hour
through-residential districts and
across Mailt Street.
In the meantime, Patrolman H.
Dayton had stopped a man driving
drunk near Clyde, and brought him
to Jail. As the patrolmen were
about ready to call it a day, for
It was then one o'clock, a call came
in that a driver on Highway No.
19-23 needed some "official assis
tance." The patrol started out and
brought in their third man charg
ed with driving drunk of the night.
While all this was going on, the
other two patrolmen, were just as
busy.: Patrolman Joe Murrill ar
rested two for not having a driver's
license, and one for operating
car with a gutted muffler. Patrol
man wooten also caught two for
operating without a driver's license.
All this activity after ten at
night. ; ',,
Cpl. Smith nabbed an 18-year-
old boy as he went through East
Waynesvllle intersection at a high
rate1 of speed, ' The patrolman gaVe

$15,000 Damage
Sustained At
Palmer Sawmill
Fire of an undetermined origin,
destroyed the Glenn C. Palmer
sawmill early Friday morning in
Crabtree, on Highway No. 209, The
loss was estimated at about $15,000
by Mr. Palmer, and only the quick
work of Waynesville firemen saved
the $20,000 stock of lumber on the
yard. .-
The" blaze was discovered about
one o'clock by a taxi driver passing
the highway Mr. Palmer was-rall-ed,
and the sawdust under the cut
off saws was blazing freely, he said.
The fire was fought with a brigade
of buckets until the firemen arriv
ed. The fire truVk pumped water
from a stream across the highway
from the mill.
A 500-gallon tank of oil boiled
over, and the seepage caught fire,
but the tank did not explode, al
though it was badly warped by the
intense heat.
The 100 gallons of fuel oil in the
new diesel motor caught fire, and
the 3-month old machine was con
sidered a total loss.
Firemen saved the entire stock of
lumber, some stacked within 10
feet of the tank of oil. Only one
end of the lumber was scorched.
Mr. Palmer was warm In his
praise for the quick response of the
department, and their work in com
batting the blaze when they arriv
ed. "Had it not been for the Way
nesville firemen, the whole stock
of lumber, plus, perhaps the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Safford
would have burned," Mr, Palmer
said.
Eleven men were employed at
the mill, which was managed by
Rev. Nando Stevens. Mr. Palmer
said some insurance was carried on
the motor, but none on the remain
der of the mill. He had no state-
mint to make regarding rebuilding.
"I have not fully decided just what
I will do," he said.

in Soviet Russia Wednesday eve

Mr. Tarzicr's subject will be

world Communism headed by Sov
iet Russia destroy Western civiliza

Prior to his escape from the Sov
iets, Mr. Tarzier was pastor of the

Latvia. Since 1912 his church had
been known for its missionary pro
