ougher War
Sfc George B. Moody got .Into
town too late for Thursday's ball
game, but considering how far he
had driven from Seattle It can
be understood. Home to Waynes
ville after 23 years. in the army and
two wars, Sgt. Moody doesn't plan
to stay long. He Is to be reassigned
at Fort Jackson, and he Is hoping
that he will draw 'either Turkey
or China.
"I've been to Europe and to Jap
an and there's no use going back
there," was the way he put It.
Another question drew this an
swer: rve Dcen in Dovn anu mu
Korean war Is much tougher than
the Second World War was." In
Korea he was a member pf the 25th
Reconnaissance Company.
The son of Florence Moody, Sgt.
George watched his car being pol
ished and remarked thoughtfully:
The army is a good life if you're
like me and don't want to settle
down. It was sorta rough on some
of the new fellows they shipped In
to us in Korea though; they were
fresh from the States and they still
didn't know what the fighting was

Countywide Plumbing
Code Urged For Haywood
Haywood County's commission- to bci
ers and health department will be
asked soon to aprove the setting
up of a countywide plumbing code.
The action Is sought by a number
ol the 20 licensed plumbers In the
county,
The plumbers contend that the
county needs a plumbing code
similar to the ones 1n effect in
Waynesville and Canton.
The major purpose of a county
wide code would be to reduce the
amount of "bootleg" plumbing done
in the county which, the plumbers
maintain, endangers public health
and often cost more in . the long
run than work by licensed plumb
ers. Under a countywide code, all
plumbing construction would have
inspected to insure that it
meets with certain specifications,
It Is expected that a full-time in
spector would be employed to do
the required work.
The code would not prohibit a
homeowner from dolnu his own
plumbing work, but would require
that his work be inspected and ap
proved. "
Plumbers now are working with
George W. Rountree, county sani
tation officer, to draw up a code
for submission to county commis
sioners and the health department.
The Mecklenburg County code and
Information supplied by the State
Board of Examiners of Plumbing
and Heating Contractors Is being
used as a guide in the drafting of a
code.
