work being carried on by the Iron
Duff Club, apparently successful
ly. is the breaking down of the

ticed by 4-H Clubs throughout the j
country?including those in Texas
and Massachusetts which have
been visited by members of the
Haywood County ? 4-H Exchange
Club. Groups are usually made up ,
of six. eight, or 10 members.
Leaders of the Iron Duff sub
groups, the first in the county, are:
Lower Iron Duff?boys. Charles [
A. Ferguson, and Mrs. Charles A.
Fereguson, and Mrs. Bill Craw
ford. girls.
Upper Iron Duff?boys, Ray Mil
ner and Jack Ray; Mrs. Ray Mil
ner and Mrs. Ava Caldwell, girls
Meetings are not scheduled, but
arc held whenever members wish
to assemble. The sub groups are
in addition to. not in place of the
full organizations.
The first project bemg under
taken by the Iron Duff 4-H'ers is

Americans must recapture the

religious leaders emphasized Sun

Bishop William C. Martin of

"America cannot truly move for

and scientifically if our homes,
churches and leaders do not recap-,

the founders of our nation," Gen.
Carpenter said in his evening ad
dress.
| "Today there is too much em
ohasis on personal security, we are i
too interested in trying to impress
each other with the authority of
the individual instead of giving God
; as Supreme Authority a chance to
be seen in our daily lives," the
chief of chaplains said.
He cited George Washington and
t General of the Air Force Hap
: Arnold as two outstanding Ameri

faith of Abraham of old".
"Washington threw aside safety
and security, and went through the
near disaster of Valley Forge to
win America for all of us," Gen.
Carpenter said. "General Arnold
knew there was more to forging the j
world's greatest' air force in World j
War II than just men and material j
. . he knew that equally important
was the spiritual motivation to car

This responsibility of the mili-.

evident today, Gen. Carpenter said,
but he added that "too often today j

Quiet But
Crowded 4th
In Haywood
The Fourth of July weekend in
Haywood was "quiet and crowded."
Traffic was unusually heavy,
with only three small wrecks re
ported at 10 o'clock today by the
Highway Patrol ? all three wrecks
were on dirt roads, and no one was
injured, the reports showed.
Places catering to tourists were
filled, with "No Vacancy" signs
prevailing throughout the county.
Sheriff Fred Y. Campbell said
"things have been mighty quiet
for a Fourth of July weekend. We
arrested about eight for being
drunk; the Town police about the
same, and the Highway Patrol
likewise."
Patrolman H. Dayton said traf
fiee up Highway 19 through Mag
gie was "bumper-to-bumper" Sun
day, but moved along smoothly.
He said members of the patrol had
to direct traffic all day at Chero
kee, because of the heavy influx
of cars.
Patrolman W. R. W'ooten report
ed traffic on Highway 19 from
Lake Junaluska to the Buncombe
line moved satisfactorily, with an
occasional speeder in the group,
but with the pre-arranged plans .
of the patrol on saturating the
highways, speeders were kept to a
minimum.
Patrolman Dayton investigated
a wreck at Halltop, when Earl
Thomas Smith, 18, went to sleep,
and his car left the dirt road. The
1947 Mercury hit a tree which
kept it from going down a steep
mountainside. Patrolman Dayton
said Smith was not hurt, and the
car was damaged about $300.
Patrolman W'ooten investigated
a sideswipe wreck on Panther
