Mr. anl Mrs. Roy Parkman and daughter, Pan, left today to spend a vacation at their cottage at Flag ler Beach, Fla. * * * Use Mountaineer Want Ads County PTA Groups Urged To Join N.C. Safety Drive Members of Haywood County PTA groups have been urged to )oln the state's "Slow Down and Live" campaign which starts in North Carolina tomorrow. In a letter to Mrs. Hugh Daniel, president of the Hazelwood School i PTA, Mrs. John W. Crawford of Raleigh, state PTA president, urg ed members of Parent-Teacher groups at various county schools to send her a postal card, pledg ing their cooperation in the safe ty drive. In turn, Mrs. Crawford said she wouia present inese pledges to I Governor Hodges at a special cere mony. In her letter, Mrs. Crawford pointed out that 35 other states have a better traffic safety record than North Carolina and that the motor vehicle in the state kills more young persons than polio, cancer, and heart disease combin ed. Of the total oT 35 pedestrians killed in North Carolina last year, more than a third were children under the age of 10. she said. The PTA president also asserted that drivers must take added cau tion now that schools are out and children will be playing outdoors ?often in the streets. County Home (Continued from pace 1) I am also sending you a copy of a ruling handed down August 27, 1943. to the Honorable R. S. Jones of Franklin, North Carolina. "Mr. Green, after by talk with Senator Medford and also after receiving the ruling from the At torney General's office. I feel that it will not be necessary to let this legislation go on through because we already have the law on the statute books. "1 a sending the Waynesville Mountaineer a copy of the letter to vou and also a copy of the Attor ney General's ruling. I hope you and your Board will concur with my thinking in this matter. Ralph Moody, assistant attorney "pneral, in a letter to Rep. Rog ers on the matter said: "You inquire if the Board of Commissioners of Haywood Coun tv under the General Law has the Heht to sell the property which constitutes the County Home. "This question has arisen two or three times in this office, and on August 27, 1945, this office rul ed that under the General Law ?he Board of County Commission ers had the authority to sell the bounty Home. It is assumed, of course, that the Board of County Commissioners will act in the pub lic interest and that there will be sufficient consideration for the sale of the property. I attach copy of the ruling of August 27, 1945. "On the 14th of May, 1M5, we ?gain ruled that the Bodrd of County Commissioners under the General Law already agisting and oh the statute books had authority *o sell It* County Home property. This is based upon subsections l4 and 15 Of Section 153-9 of the General Statutes, which 1 quote below as fellows: "14. Te sell er Lease Reel Prop, arty: ?

B. Hickman, Jr. of West Pigeon, who hauled in this five-pound, 25-inch brown trout, from West Fork last Sunday moraine. In addition to this prise specimen, he also caught three rainbow and another brownie. Us ing a fly rod, Mr. Hickman sank his hook into the top fin of the fish and battled it for more than an hour and a half along- a half mile of the stream before making the catch. He says he'd "rather not" tell what kind of bait he used. Mr, Hickman was pictured in The Mountaineer in April with a 19-inch brown trout. Since then, he has landed five more trout weighing more than two and a half pounds. (Mountaineer Photo). and the Beard, may, in its discre tion, Mil any lands so purchased." "We are of the opinion, and a gain state, that we think the Board of County Commissioners has the authority to sell its County Home property for a sufficient considera tion and that this authority exists under the General Laws of the State, and it is not necessary in our opinion to have any specific pri vate or public-local legislation for that purpose." The county home and farm was acquired by Haywood about 55 years ago, and estimates are that the property will bring about $100,000. The farm has 135 acres.

"Pfrobably we will wait until about September to fill the post, as there is no need for such a man during the summer," Leather wood said. Tradition has it that red barns became an American institution when some farmers painted their barns red, their bouses white and with blue skies, established a pat riotic symbol. Veterans Must Have Licenses To Fish In N.C. * A service pin, or a service uni form is not a "fishing license" ac cording to J. H. Howell, veterans service officer for the county. Col. Howell said today: "There is a misunderstanding with regard to rights of veterans or service! men to fish without a license. "During World War II a service man either on leave or furlough from the service or hospital might fish without a license. This ruling expired six months after the end ing of World War II. "Now veterans, or men in serv ice, must have the same license as that required of other citizens," t .i ii i ? i Mrs. Carwile's J Dies In Beltonl Jesse T. Drake, {J J. L.
