Wellco Shoe Company Continues To Grow, And Grow The announcement of the expansion plans * of Wellco Shoe Corjwration adds glad news at this usual joyful Christmas time. Along with the announcement of the ex pansion of the plant, came the o] timistic outlook by Heinz Rollman, president of the firm. The expansion stems from the experiments of t,wo new items which the shoe plant will manufacture. The scope of the expansion will depend of course, on the sales of the two new item,s. Since both of the items are to be in the popular priced field, it is apparent that they will find a ready demand*from the economy-minded public. The executives of the firm are experienc ed and successful shoe manufacturers, and we share with them the optimism that the future looks bright?especially for those who prepare and work for more business. Wellco Shoe Company is a typical example of a firm starting in a small way, and stead ily gHaving?growing solidly, and becoming a ni&iijr asset to our community. Another Milestone In ~ Onr School Program Wednesday will mark another important roil^/fene in the educational history of Hay wood County. The formal dedication of the new school buildings at Bethel will be of special* significance. The structures represent an expenditure of wqre than one-fourth of the total bond is sue which Haywood county passed for a county-wide school expansion program. The buildings, like those which have been completed, or are under construction, are practical and were designed for providing the very best in school facilities. The Bethel buildings are recognized as among the best constructed in the area. The Bethel schools represent by far the most, complete grammar-high school combi nation in the county, with more than 1.125 students from a wide area of Haywood coun ty. ? ? Those who possibly can. should avail them selves of the opportunity to see for them seko* what a wonderful plant the patrons, punils and teachers of the Bethel area can now enjoy. In fact, the plant is a source of pride and joy to the entire county. - .4* * Added Stimulants For Business Business in this immediate area has Had several stimulants this fall, and apparently, all an* showing the results of good business. The bonus of Champion, and Wellc'o Shoe, phis the cash from burley, and the additional cash turned loose by the Christmas Savings plan are all reflecting in the economy of our community.

December 13, 11>.~? 1 Last December 1,000 People Walked To Their Peath S-D Day could just as well l?e S-W Day. S.D moans safo driving, but safe walking will bo almost as important If traffic acci dents are to be held to a minimum on S-D ; Day, Wednesday^ Dec. 15. More than 1,000 pedestrians literally walked themselves to death during Decem ber last year, according to National Safety Council figures. December is always the peak month of the year for pedestrian fatalities. However, on Dec. 15 the walkers as well as the drivers will have an opportunity to prove that accidents don't have to happen if every individual makes a real effort to prevent them. President Eisenhower has proclaimed Dec. 15 as the date for the nation to keep traffic accidents at an absolute minimum for a 24 hour period as proof that traffic accidents can be prevented by individual and commun ity action. The nationwide cooperative pro gram is sponsored by the President's Action Committee for Traffic Safety. Children and oiuer persons are must vul nerable as pedestrians. Of the 8,600 pedes trians killed last year about 1,950 were under 15 years and 3,350 were over 65. Most pedestrian victims are nondrivers who do not understand the mechanics or limitations of driving, safety experts say. Elderly men are most apt to be pedestrian victims. Early evening hours are especially hazard out for pedestrians. More than a third of the victims were killed between 5 and 8 o'clock in the evening from October to March. About 41 per cent were crossing streets between intersections, 2-5 per cent were killed at in tersections. and 11 per cent were walking in the roadway. Three easy rules can help make S-D Day ? pud every day ? a safe walking day for pedestrians. To avoid that "run down" feel ing: 1. Cross only at intersections and wait for the green light ? and watch out for turning traffic. 2. Wear something light or carry a flash light if von must walk on a roadwav at night. 3. Make sure packages, umbrellas or news papers do not block your view of approach ing traffic. ?.? 1 ? I ? ? ? ???? * . ? ?'".??* ? v ? . ? I Another "Hanny Hunting Ground" Si ens point to another "hanny hunting" around in the lower end of the countv. as deer are being tranned and brought into the Harm en Den section of the county. The N. ('. Wildlife Resources Commission savs nlans are to "nlant" about 100 deer in that area. And while the "nlant'ng" season is under way. all hunting in that area is prohibited. The area, by the wav. skirts the new Pi geon River road, which might add interest to the project. A Contribution The thousands of colored lights on the streets, and court house lawn, were turned on Fridav night, as the stores remained onQn The lights are attractive, and give the town a dressed-uo look for the holidays. The lights were out urf by town forces, and the operation of the lights is being paid by the town. There are many towns that have light" such as we have here by the merchants paying the complete bill. Such is not the case here. The town takes care of all the ex penses as a means of attracting more busi ness, and for the beautification of the com munity.

Highland Flings By Bob Conway 1 As we understand it, Alexander Graham Bell's favorite invention was designed to be used in two ways: (1) to enable the owner of the instrument to get in touch with others, and <2i to permit others to get in touch with him. If such be the case, we would Uke to recommend, urge, ask, and suggest that one particular high school in Haywood County make an effort to have someone to an swer its phone while the school is !n session. As it is, getting in touch with 'his school is usuallv difficult and sometimes imoossible?simply be cause the telephone is located in ?he principal's office, which is often locked. Some of the other schools occa sionally do not answer their tele phones but most of them are satis factory in this respect and some ore excellent. Emergencies do arise from time ?o time and when thev do occur parents peed to contact th?dr chil dren ou'cklv.

(There's also no substitute for a dictionary for sign painters who can't, spell.) ??o You're probably familiar with the phrase "Born 30 Years Too Scon," in the.comic strip, "Out Our Vfay". That's just the wav we feit when we toured Bethel School last week where Principal C. C. Poin dexter pointed out that his new elementary school has chairs for both right-handed and left-handed students. Bark in the good old days, no body cared about us southpaws. -?o Friday afternoon at Canton we asked a member of the girls' bas ketball team, whose picture we had iust taken, to write down the names of all the girls in the picture. As she started to do so. she re- | marked that she couldn't spell and ' her teammates aereed that she was ! no whig on the Subject. Watchine her write laboriously. I we noticed that she wrote "Therrs sa" and since that name is usually spelled "Theresa", we told her so "That may be," she said, "but that's the way I spell it. That's my name!" Black Cat Gets Into Deep Water The black tom cat of Ed Potte sot into deep water, all because of his craving for fish. While trving to lick the bottom of a salmon can. the cat jammed his head too far into the con tainer. and could not get it out. In an effort to ret to freedom, the rat walked in the cold waters of Lake Junaluska. Triable to see. the rat headed towards deep water rather than for the shore. Andv Mnodv saw the strug gling, drowning cat. and went to the rescue. Owner Ed came by, and between the two, thev pulled the can off the cat's head. It was a cold, but wiser cat that left the scene with one of his nine lives used up. Paint Job MUSKEGON. Mich. (API?Sher iff Axel M Pederson faces an un pen nl interior deeoratirig oroblem.
