BEST TOBACCO HAR
VEST IN YEARS
FORECAST
With larger acreage pla
jnted in tobacco this year
! than last, and with the leaf
j heavier than usual, the best
harvest is., expected in ye
ars. Prices are expected to
be high. 7 - ; _ !
There is one warning
that all growers are now
receiving from officials.
That is that there should
be especial case in curing
the tobacco. One of the
largest growers in the co
unty said this week that
he had removed 50 sticks
of tobarco from his barn
berause it had scalded.
The unusually heavy,
long leaves should be given
plenty of space and should
not be crowded in any way
for best results in curing.

INFORMATION CON
CERNNG SCRAP DRIVE
L. L. Froneberger of Asheville, assistant supervis
or for the government, in charge of scrap collection
in the western counties, was here today and met with
members of the Salvage Committee. Briefly, the fol
lowing are plans for the campaign:
1. The government is handling the drive and govern
ment trucks will operate in the county to collect it.
A shipping center will be established in Spruce Pine
for Mitchell, Yancey and Avery counties and the scrap
will J)e taken there. The trucks will be here within 30
days to six weeks. ' -
2. The most important thing now is to get the scrap
piled up. This does not mean that it must be placed
on the side of the highway but it should be piled up
so that it can be loaded easily.
3. Give the names and amounts to the county agent
as the truck drivers will work from his office, or to
the chairman of the salvage committee.
4. The scrap may be donated or sold. If it is to be
donated, select soiree organization (such as defense co
uncil, school, etc.) to receive funds.
5. Above all drag out ALL the scrap and pile it up
so that it can be collected easily.

ular admission - price
The widely-heralded bio
graphical tribute to one of
the World War’s greatest
heroes has been acclaimed
from coast to coast at the
greatest picture of the
year.
Garp Cooper stars in the
title role, The lanky star of
! “Meet John Doe” and co
untless other triumphs
plays his greatest role to
date as the Tennessee mo
untaineer who “got relig
ion,” became a conscient
ious obpector, yet emerged
as one of the greatest he
roes of all time! This part
won him the Academy Aw
ard.
The war * sequences of
“Sergeant York” are un
paralleled, and rival war
sequences from any other
film. Opposed to these thril
ling moments are the tran
quil scenes showing Alvin
York’s life in Tennessee,
, and the met amorphosis
from renegade to a soldier
hero.
York is regenerated
when a bolt of lightning
rips his rifle from his
hands and melts it into a
heap of twisted metal.
From then on he becomes
a church-goer and with the
aid of Gracie Williams, his
lovey mountain sweetheart
and the faithful Pastor
Pile attempts to own a pie
ce of rich bottomland.
Undoubtedly the film’s
greatest sequence is that
one delineating York’s cap
ture of 132 Germans. The
feat remains in war annals
as one of the most amaz
ing of its kind. More sur
prising still was York’s ad
mission that he had accom
plished this only to stop
more killing. *
