Budget Adopted
By Commissioners
TWO NBW BUILDINGS
TO BB BKBCTBD
- ' AND ADDITIONS ilADK
The budget for Haywood Coun
ty schools for the 1940-41 sessions,
was adopted by the county board
of commissioners in a brief ses
sion held Monday. The budget was
submitted by Jack Messer super
intendent -of county schools, sev
' era! days ago, and included the
budget for the Beaverdam special
charter school district.
Items in the budget are debt
service, $85,739.17; current ex
pense, $38,042; capital outlay, $27,
M4.86; making a total of $158,
725.53. In addition to approving the
budget the commissioners decided
to make an extra levy sufficient to
build two school houses and an
addition to another. These are be
ing planned for Saunook and Hen-
- son Cove, and an addition at the
Maggie school.
In compliance with state regu
lations, provision will have to be
made for two grades to be added
for the colored students of the
county, but no decision has been
reached as to location, or when
these additions will be made.
A new building for the colored
in the Beaverdam district is also
being considered, since the pres
ent building has been condemned
as unsafe for use, but no action
has been taken.
New BuUdmcs Underway
Two new school buildings are
t already . underway in the county,
and with the proposed new build
ings and repairs, Haywood's
schools should be well housed. A
new concrete building is under
construction at Clyde to replace
the old brick buildings, and a new
. auditorium is being erected at the
"'Bethel school.
The Beaverdam system has un-
i de conslrtesBtion a -new -lunch
' room at. the .Beaverdam school
which will fill a great need in that
community. Work began some

Director Says
Progress Of Band
Is Satisfactory
TELLS LIONS NEW UNI
FORMS WOULD INSPIRE
FURTHER IMPROVEMENT
J. E. Derry berry, director of the
Canton School Band, told mem
bers of the Canton Lions Club
Tuesday evening that the band
had made remarkable progress in

tive during the Summer months,

velopment he presented a trump
et quartet selected from the band,
who capably rendered several se
lections for the club members. In
the quartet were Luther Rollins,
Earl Justice, Billy Smart and Bil
ly Welch.

provide a great incentive to the
young musicians to redouble their
efforts toward perfection.

the Lions mapped new plans, dur
ing the meeting, to enlarge and
intensify their drive for funds
with which to purchase the uni
forms, setting Labor Day as their
goal for the first appearance of
the band in full dress.

Drive For War
Relief Funds
Closes Monday
EFFORT WILL BE MADE
TO MEET QUOTA HERE
NEXT FEW DAYS
A request from the National
Red Cross headquarters asks that
the drive for War Relief funds be
concluded by July 15th. Canton's
quota first set at $700.00 and later
increased to $1,400.00 has not been
met, and officials are anxious that
all contributions be paid by Mon
day. Over $800 Raised
Report from Miss Sibyl Wilson,
treasurer of the Canton Chapter,
Wednesday afternoon, showed that
$861.66 had been secured here
during the recent drive. There is
probably a few dollars in the
hands of other officials which has
not been reported to the treasur
er, however if Canton is to meet
her quota, there is still more than
$500.00 to raise.
Contributors to be added to the
list recently published include,
Dr. Robert H. Owen, Mrs. Mar
tha Carr, the Friendly Dozen
Club, the Four Ace Club, Mrs.
Henry Seaman's bridge club; Mrs.

The people of Canton have re
sponded in a very line way, and
with the generous donation by the
Champion Paper and Fibre Com

asking promptly. It is hoped that
every person who has not made a
contribution to this much needed
cause will do so during the next
few days and help put the drive
across in full.

Tax Collector
Case To Be Heard
In September
MACKEY - KINSLAND
DISPUTE STILL
UNSETTLED
Theease oWayKinalaiid and
the Town of Canton versus J. D.
Mackey in the dispute as to who
shall hold the tax collector's office
here, has been deferred until the
September term of superior court.
Judge Wilson Warlick, of Newton,
presiding over the July term oi
court this week in Waynesville,
has ordered that the case be tried
first on the docket when the Sep
tember term, which is for civil
action only, convenes.
This case was begun in Sep
tember, 1939, by the board of al
dermen of Canton and Way Kins
land to dispossess J. D. Mackey of
the office of tax collector on the
plea that the defendant was hold
ing the office after he had been
voted out by the board, the vote
being two to one. Mr. Mackey
claimed that he had been elected
at a prior meeting of the board
and that the plaintiffs had no
right to dispossess him. Mr. Kins
land had been substituted in the
place of Mr. Mackey by vote of
the board.
At the September term, 1939, a
jury returned a verdict in favor
of Mr. Mackey. The board took
an appeal to the state supreme
court. The decision was for a new
trial.
Judge Warlick, in denying a
motion for the case to be retried
at this term, said that the supreme
court had virtually decided the
case in favor of the plaintiffs
when it was stated in the opinion
that the board of aldermen had a
right to dismiss an employee who
is not a constitutional officer and
duly elected by the people.

New Paper Mill
In Operation At
Houston Plant
DAILY PRODUCTION OF
FIBRE COMPANY IN
CREASED BY 120 TONS
A new paper mill has recently
been completed and set in opera
tion at the Champion Paper and
Fibre Company's plant in Hous
ton, Texas. With the completion
of the new unit the daily produc
tion of printing paper hits been
increased by 120 tons.
The addition to the pulp mill
opened in Texas, in 1937, brings
Champion's Houston investment
to many millions, and the number
of employes near the 600 mark.
Company officials estimate that
the increase in pa y ro 1 1 will
amount to $400,000 annually.
Pulp from the Houston plant is
used in the manufacture ot Cham
pion papers. The new Houston
paper mill will specialize in ma
chine coated and tablet papers for
the southwestern market. The
coated book paper will be lurn
ished on contract to Time, Inc.,
for use by Life Magazine.
Champion long ago pioneered in
making white paper from South
ern pine, having opened its pap
er mill in Canton in 1915. Be-
I cause of its constant demand for
' raw material. Chamninn tidnv has
cutting rights on more than 2,000,
000 acres of pine land in the Sou
th. Cut from these tremendous
J forest reserves, pine logs are con
verted in 24 hours into printing
' paper, after passing through a
I modern, straightline production
pulp and paper mill.
Back of mill prod uction is
I scientific forest management to
' utilize fully the pine trees that
mature in 15 years. Champion
1 maintains its own nurseries to
produce seedlings with which to
' restore cut-over areas. The most
effective and practical forest con
servation work, however, lies in
keeping out destructive ioreat
fires, and in the scientific cutting
of timber to promote the sustain
ed growth that makes replanting
unnecessary.
