However, we would like to know one thing: with a mainten ance crew whose sole purpose it is to keep the county’s schools to good repair, why is it necessary for workers in the lunchroom at the high school to sponsor a supper ip order to raise funds to paint the lunchroom? When a local committee''appear ed before the county commission ers and the county board of educa tion concerning use curtain for the elementary building, our folks ;v were told we djd not get a lot of little things down here simply be cause we did not ask for them. Such items as wax, for instance, were being bought -out of local funds, when they could be obtained free from the county, if only a re ■ port was sent in. that they were needed *' ' v ^ w • j We think it exhibits a very com mendable spirit on the part of the lunchroom workers when they're .willing to go to the trouble and ex ' pense to have such a supper, but we’d still like to know why the county, wouldn’t, or couldn’t, paint the lunchroom if it needs it. Mrs. pock Head, who was, re cently 'an operative patient to Waytie. Memorial hospital, was standing in the yard of her home 'the other Saturday evening, when her neighbor’s home had a little , fire. When all was under control, aha firemen were ready to go back to the firC station, we started to sug gest to Mrs. Head that she'crawl, up on the back of the old fire truck and ride it back uptown, and we’d guarantee she’d be -much lim berer when she arrived than when she left her home.

L, Warren, local produce brokers, already have received Irish potato washing and grading machinery and now are in the process of installing it. After the Jaycees had approved Shackelford’s recommendation, Paul Barwick, -club secretary, took the floor and said he believed the club had accomplished its pur pose. Barwick pointed out the club was unsuccessful in an attempt to have a potato Washer installed last year, but felt the Jaycees had a lot to do with educating the growers and producers to the need of such a washer. Barwick also told of attending a meeting at which agricultural lead ers were present and reported the opinion of these leaders was that, competition would drive other pro duce brokers to install 'necessary machinery for washing and grad ing spuds. Marketing experts long have ad vocated washing and grading of potatoes, pointing out chain stores^ which are the largest single buyers of this commodity, prefer spuds" that are easily handled without the expense of doing their own grad ing and washing. According to telegrams received by Jaycees from northern brokers, they will not buy unwashed spuds when potatoes are plentiful. The Junior Chamber of Com merce attempted to have a Wash er installed last year, but the proj ect was abandoned, and early this winter a committee was. appointed to look into the possibilities of hav ing one set upin Mount Olive this year.
