Town Considering Two Important Street Projects The town board of aldermen have ordered a survey made for carrying: on their study of extending Wall Street and for widening Montgomery street. Both projects are sorely needed in town, and would relieve the traffic situation in many ways. * Extending Wall Street, on both ends ? would remove much traffic off of Main Street, and would open up a means for fire men to get behind some buildings in time of need. Widening Montgomery Street has been ad vocated and planned for many years. This is the street that is only two blocks long and runs from Depot to Church Street, par allel to Main on the West side. We realize that street widening of exten sion is usually an expensive project, and both of these would come into that category, but nevertheless, the need is here, and costs in the future wili not be any lower, if as low as now. If the town is to grow, both projects will have to be done. Practical Demonstration On Fire Fighting Shown Dayton's fire drill team gave an excellent account of their training as they put on an automatic fire fighting demonstration here Thursday evening. Their demonstration made the 750 spec tators conscious of the importance of know ing more about fires and what to do to put them out. Fighting fire has been developed far beyond the old bucket brigade, and the pouring of tons of water on a blaze. The chemists have made valuable contributions in making available compounds which smoth er off the oxvgen and thus puts the blaze out. Fighting fire has become an art, and fire men have to train and study just as any pro fessional. It is well for the public to know as much as possible about the subject in or der that .they can do what Is proper until the professional firemen arrive to take charge of the situation. Many a home or place of business has been destroyed because someone threw water on to an oil fire, which scattered the flames. One specialist in fighting fires passed out this wmd of advice at the demonstration. Every housewife should have a large box of soda open and near at hand, which she can use to throw by the handful into a skillet of hot grease when it catches on fire. The soda will put out the blaze instantly, and the soda does not have the potential dangers of water around electrical appliances. One canno know too much about fires, and one thing that must never be forgotten, and that is to respect the potenial grave dangers which lurk behind every flame. THE MOUNTAINEER WayneavRle.

Tomor row several thousand others will resume their studies in the Canton area, making up near the 9,000 mark for the number of chil dren returning to school in Haywood. Many of them will find for the first time, new buildings, and new facilities which they have never enjoyed before. These are part of the county-wide expansion program inaugur ated about two years ago when the citizens voted two millions in bonds for this program. Among the new projects are the new class rooms at East Waynesville and Hazelwood, the gym and lunchroom at Crabtree-Iron Duff, lunchroom at Fines Creek. Also the new Junior High at Canton. These projects complete the original pro gram of the expansion plan, with the excep tion of a lunchroom and modernizing the heating system at Cruso, and converting the old gym at Clyde into vocational shops. There also remains the project at the Pigeon Street school which iB slated for work in the im mediate future. The citizens of Haywood have provided for their school children the most modern facil ities. Yet, on the other hand, there is one other thing which we must continue to pro vide for them, day in and day out, and that is safety on the streets and highways. With 9,000 youngsters scampering to and from school, many on buses, means that every i motorist will have to be even more cautious j than ever. Chief Orville Noland on Thursday issued a stern warning about motorists obeying the laws in and near school zones or else answer a warrant hailing them into court. And thus it should be, and more power to the police in enforcing this law. Bad Checks Makes It Hard For Everyone Businessmen have learned that service and accommodations pay big dividends. And one of the accommodations which most places cater is that of cashing checks. Unfortunately there are those individuals who will write a check, get it cashed, and ac cent Jh&.Ploney, knowing that the check is drawn on a non-existent bank account. Such people usually come into the clutches of the law. but their unfairness in the business world, makes it harder for some of the hott est people to do business in a normal man ner. Sheriff Campbell showed us a handful of warrants issued for persons charged with passing worthless checks, and in almost every instance it was a business firm that had been taken for a loss. Such a person makes it hard on everyone who wants to do the right thing, which is one reason it is to the interest of all citizens to cooperate with officers and see that guilty persons are stopped from such practices. Haywood BaDtists Are A Progressive Denomination Reports made at the 70th HaywoOd Bap tist Association meetings showed there are 11,340 Baptists in this county, which is about 36 per cent of the county's population. The value of Baptist property in the coun ty is- now estimated at $2,000,000, which means that space in Haywood churches has been doubled since 1952. This one fact, we feel, is significant of the steady growth which the denomination has made in Hay wood. The Baptists donated $419,000 during the year, with an average of 6ver $1,000 a week going to mission work. They 11 Do It Every Time ?? [ WM?? II ?

CURTIS RUNS Biship Gerald Ensley tells of ( the man who wished he had his 1 1955 income; 1935 prices and 1915 taxes. . I A salesman was in just to re mind us^that the sale of Christmas , printing stationery and papers were going fast, and that some particular lines were getting short. , Our first inclination was to post pone placing the order, then a glance at the calendar shows that there are just 100 shopping days from Tuesday until Christmas. Before we make up a Christmas shopping list, there is a football season to enjoy, that is tf a fellow can keep up with the rules. While this one Is not new. it does create a lot of misunderstanding. A mem ber of a team can signal for a fair eatch. even though he is across the field from the falling ball. When the man making the catch Is tackled, the offender is penalised 15 yards That rule is hard on play ers. and spectators, because most spectators just watch the ball, and not a whole field of men. This year, a center playing In the T formation can pass the ball outside his legs, once' it has been touched by the quarterback; but Whit* SilPPVPS from th*? elhnw ttniim ?re out. This has been a source of confusion in nicht Barnes with a white ball. It is also aeainst the rule for a brown armed olaver to naint white strioes around his arm to resemble a ball. | Football has come a long waya, but some rules still need to be clarified for the sake of the player and spectator. John Kerley breaks the sad news that his crop of candyroasters will not be anything to show this year. Last year John raised some whop pers. He had to carry water to his patch datly, but he had a bumper Crop. This year excessive rains have kept the candyroasters from matuHng to the site of his prize ones last year. The suggestion was made that since he carried water to the patch last year he should have held an umbrella over this year's ^atch. brought the comment from John that he did not figure when it started raining that It would rain every day. He felt each day's rata would bo the last for a spell, but it did not wort that way. The can lyroaster crop hart started to suf 'er. The postoffice has a new clock. Instead of the old-fashioned hand sound clock, the postoffice has ?one modern and installed an elec tric timepiece. Few things are as interesting as listening to young fathers discuss helping with the baby, especially if part of the duty is night stroll ing when the youngster has the colic. A native of Texas, now repre senting a paper company, was in the office on business, and began talking about the weather. "It Is hotter than this in Texas ? been over 100 for 33 days. It is a hot heat?klnda blistering like. Warm down there right now, but boy, what a state." "I will be In this territory this winter. Hope I can stand it. I am told it does not get too cold up here, since you have a cold that seems to brush off; does not pene trate. Maybe I can take it."

"Oh. you'll probably have Miss Green, or Miss White, haps Miss Brown," her mother told her. Then she added;' probably switch you around." That did it.
