sions makes the campaign a

right at the beginning.
Biggest Voces Now
The great EXTRA VOTE

The Cherokee Scout "Cam
paign of Progress" until June
2nd., give the real worker an
opportunity seldom offered
early in the campaign.

extra votes will be given.
These votes are in addition
to the number of votes allow
ed according to the regular
schedule.
Spare Time Work
The Subscription Campaign
will last just a few weeks and
you will not need to devote
all your time to selling^ The
Scout Subscriptions to your
friends either. Plenty of time
is given one to hustle around
during spare moments and see
one's friends and get sub
scriptions and renewals.
More than likely the major
ity of them are already taking
The Scout regularaly. If so,
get them to renew their sub
scription.
To think that such big
awards can be earned in such a
short time surprises many.
Some venture the opinion that
when such big awards are at
stake, one could afford to
devote all his or her time in
order to acquire one of them

School Bond Issue,
Primary Elections
Set For Saturday
Cherokee County
SCHOOL CHILDREN NEED
Your
Vote
Bond Issue Not Political
The Cherokee County School Building Bond thatwlll
be presented to the voters Saturday, May 26, Is not
a political issue. The voters of Cherokee County will
go to the polls Saturday and make a decision that
will greatly effect the future of our children and our
county. The voter will determine if Cherokee County
will go forward and provide the educational facilities
that are vitally needed to guarantee our children the
quality education they need and deserve in this modern,
space age.
The school building bond issue is of vital concern
to every voter in Cherokee County. 11is not a political
football. On the desk of the editor of this newspaper
is a signed statement made by all the Republican and
Democratic candidates for Cherokee County Com
missioners endorsing the school building bond issue
and pledging their support for the issue. The state
ment reads, "We the undersigned cnadldates for the
office of Board of County Commissioners hereby
endorse and will support the bond election to be held
May, 1962. We urge all citizens of Cherokee County
to vote for better schools." This statement was
signed by W. A. Hoover, Republican; W, T. Moore,
Democrat; Carlyle P. Matheson, Republican: J. H.
Duncan, Democrat. W. D. Graham, Democrat and
L?M. Cole, Republican. These candidates, while of
different parties and opponents In the fall election
have joined together to support this vital issue. They
have demonstrated good faith and a keen public ser
vice interest by their act and are to be commended.
The need for the school buildings throughout Cherokee
County is desperate. Two of the proposed new build
ings will replace classroom buildings lost by fire at
Andrews High School and Murphy Elementary School.
These buildings must be replaced. A successful
county-wide school bond issue is the most practical
way to finance such a project. The bonds can be re
tired in an orderly way over a twenty year period
without being a great financial burden to anyone (much
the same way as most people build and finance a
home.)
In the county system, the proposed improvements
have been long awaited and are needed to support
the county's educational program. AtHiwassee Dam
School, the students have been waiting for a lunch
room ever since the school was built six years ago.
At Ranger and W'hi e Church, a combination meeting
room and gym (gy: itorlum) is desperately needed.
(See pictures of White Church School situation in
this paper.)
Cherokee County can afford a $500,000. school h aid
ing bond issue. Cherokee County can not afford to
forsake its future and the future and welfare of its
school children. Vote "YES" for Cherokee County
School Building Bonds and provide better educational
facilities for our children.
Only Practical Way
The passage of a School Bond Issue is the only
practical way to meet the urgent needs of the schools
of Cherokee County and at the same time keep the
county's property tax rate within reasonable bounds.
The future of most all of us Is tied up with the
future of Cherokee County and that future depends
upon the quality of education we provide for our
children. If our school children of today and tomorrow
are denied, then we seriously limit the future of our
county.
The investment In schools and education Is the safest
that can be made and the surest of yielding a return.
Educated youngsters of today will become the
Intelligent and Informed leaders of tomorrow.
We have the opportunity to take a long stride forward
tn the advancement of our county.
Let us take advantage of this opportunity by going to
the polls on May 26 and vote for the School Bond Issue.
Vote YES for the future of our schools and Cherokee
County. Lloyd W, Hendrix Supt. Cherokee Co. Schools

SEEKS THIRD TERM
Bid Made To Reopen
Nantahala Sale Case
Raleigh -- Three western
North Carolina counties, three
towns and several other
agencies petitioned the State
I'tllltles Commission on Mon
day id re-open the case In
volving sale of Nantahala
Power & Light Co.'s dls
trabutlon facilities to Duke
Power Co.
The petition asked that the
case, which the commission
heard last fall and sdll has
under consideration, be re
opened so that "newly
discovered evidence" may be
presented.
The new evidence. It said,
is to be the effect that the
Tennessee Valley Authority
"Is ready, willing and able to
furnish to Nantahala Power &
Light Co. all power and energy
that now Is or here after will
be required by the company
id meet the demands of Its
present and future customers.'
Filing the petition were the
counties of Cherokee, Jackson
and Swain; the towns of Bryson
City, Andrews and Webster;
the Robblnsville, Macon
County and Stecoah granges,
the Eastern Bandof theChero
kee Indians and the five-county
committee for TVA power.
These agencies opposed the
proposed sale, requested by
Nantahala and Duke, when the
Utilities Commission heard it.
The petition stated that
rates at which Nantahala can
obtain power from TVA are
"so low that it can feastlby,
commensurate with the In
vestor Interests of Its parent
corporation, the Aluminum Co.
of America, continue tr> dis
tribute all present and future
power and energy require
ments of Its customers at re
tall rates no higher than those
in effect at the time of the
company's appllcadon for In
creased rates..."
The petition thus referred to
a companion case, which the
Utilities Commission also has
under consideration. In which
Nantahala has filed for a rate
Increase. The higher rates
were put Into effect by the
company nearly two years ago
under bond to repay the cus
tomers all or any part of the
increase not allowed by the
commission.
In the application request
ing permission to sell its
transmission facilities to
Duke, Nantahala said the sale
price would be about (4 mil
lion. Nantahala serves several
counties in the north western
section of the state.
The possibility of TVA
'-'rnlshing r~ power to the
vantahala area came updurlng
the hearing on the proposed
sale. However, at that time
two RE A co-ops, the Haywood
Electric Membership Corp.
of Waynesvllle and the Blue
Ridge Electric Association of
Voung Harris, Ga. proposed to
acquire Nantahala's dis
tribution system and supply
the area with TVA power.
Nothing was said at that time
of the possibility of Nanta
hala buying power directly
from TVA and serving Its
customers, with It.
Gov. Sanford recently step
ped personally in? the Nanta
hala rate case. He asked the
company to put the Increased
rates In abeyance until the
Utilities Commission deter
mines If they are justified. He
said no Increase of that size
had ever been put Into effect
before imder bond. However,
John Archer, president of
Nantahala, rejected the gover
nor's request.
