Band Given $300 Check By iazelwood Boosters Club Many Attend Drawings At Stadium Around 3,500 people packed the stands of the football field Satur day afternoon as the first drawing in the Trade Jubilee took place. Joe Boone of rrancis Cove was the first winner, collecting a G.E. electric iron. Mary Wyatt of Hazel wooa was tne lucKy noicicr or a ticket stub that brought her a pair of Dayton Rubber Koolfoam pil lows. Sammy Wlggens, also of Haz elwood, won the Western Flyer bi cycle, and Mrs. Jack Justice of Balsam Road took the top prize, a Bulova wristwatch. According to Mrs. Robert M. Boyd, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, the four winning stubs came from a box containing about 200,000. Merchants, she added, have purchased 430,000 tickets for dis tribution to customers. Several minor problems arose in connection with the drawing, said Mrs. Boyd. Too many merchants failed to tear off the stubs from the string, and others, in tearing, mutilated them. A number of tick ets were put into the box instead of stubs! "But," continued Mrs. Boyd, "those were the usual mistakes. All of lis. were surprised and delight ed by the crowd and the interest. It was a great success." Drawings will continue at the same place and time,, 2 p.m., in the High School stadium, every Satur day until December 15th when a 1951 Buick vJll be given away.

For instance, since I've been here, the number of users of power and water has almost trebled. Not only has the population of the town increased, but more and more peo ple are installing electric stoves. water neuters and similar equip ment, "I came at the beginning of the depression, and a good deal of my time was spent In listening to hard, luck stories.. As business Improved, people were able to afford the con veniences of town water, and elec tricity lor lighting, cooking and other purposes." "Speaking of hard-luck tales," Manager Grayden Ferguson inter posed, "I don't think you'd have room enough in the paper to put down all the 'gripes' she h,-is laken cure of."

' This payment brings Haywood's total debt down to $662,000, which ' is everything the county owes, in cluding the $215,000 in Hospital bonds. A check up of the county bonds. shows that everything will be paid off In full by 1960, except the re cently issued Hospital bonds". Mr. Kirkpatrick said that 25 cents of the current tax rate is now going for the debt service. Under present plans, the bulk of the debt will be paid in full by 1960, which will give substantial relief to lax payers. . , The county auditor pointed out that the Increase In taxes for the school expansion program would be in a sense, reverted to the present expenditure for debt service. ' "After 1960, our proposed tax . rate for all debt service should be on a par with what . it is today," he said. "I believe that the taxpayers will be paying just a very few cents more for the school program In 1960 than they are paying Ibday, And in view of inflationary pricey the present tax rate of $1.50 lrj i Haywood is far below that of the average county In the state." f "Looking ahead, and realizing what a small debt Haywood has, I agree with Jonathan Woody that this county can well afford the proposed school expansion pro- ' gram".
