Course they were in pretty poor con dition when they got home, so Mrs. G threw them in a near by brush pile and set fire to it. Feathers started flying and Mrs. G realized that her faith ful hound had brought home more chickens than she thought. To top it of., the whole "Feather-cluttered" pasture caught fire. The Hay esville volenteer fire de partment extinguished the blaze. Happy barbecuing Mrs. G. -J Looks are sometimes de ceiving. Three different salesmen strolled into Ivie's Furniture Store last week and after a quick look around, decided they were In the wrong place. They went up the street Inquiring as to where Ivie's had moved. To their amaze ment, they discovered that they had been in the right place after all. You see, the store has just undergone a complete remodeling and they didn't recognize the place. -J And while we're on the sub ject of remodeling, a tip of our hat to Troy Flemming, manager of Lay's 5&10, who is adding 3,000 additional square feet of shopping space. Construction should be com pleted in a week or so and we suggest that Troy furnish roller skates for customers who wish to shop in a hurry. -J Mary Faye Brumby de livered her first speech to die House of Representatives this week. And to top it off she gave every member a package of T-Shirts manufac tured by Brumby Textile Mills here in Murphy.

A maximum penalty of $50 or thirty days in jail is enough to discour age any young lover. -J Last call for strawberry orders . . . anyone interested in obtaining the Tennessee Beauty variety of straw berries must have their order into the County Agents office by Monday, March 15. -J Here's a new twist. A fell ow drove up to the town Police Station and told Ray Killian, who was on duty at the time, that he was drunk and would like to be taken to jail and locked up. Ray obliged. -J Robert Shafto, new editor of the Andrews Journal, re cently addressed the A. H. S. Journalism Class. When asked how many people it would take to report the news in Murphy, Mr. Shafto answered, "Only, one. Murphy's dull, nothing ever happends there". Boy that's a matter of opinion. -J Last and Least. We would like to officially welcome Anne Hughes to the SCOUT staff. Anne replaces Sue Kilpa trick as Justowriter operator. She Is married to Jack Hughes and they have two children, Tim ?nd Laurie. Anne reported to work Monday morning and right off the bat was confronted with ? problem. You see, she's only 5 ft 2 Inches tall and can't reach the time clock to punch in and out.

Entries must be post mar ked no later than Monday a.m. Explanation To Last Week's Puzzle ACROSS 1. A person who Is GRACEFUL usually wins one's regard (Grateful). - One, as used here, is a generalization. A Grate ful person need win the regard of only the person to whom he's grateful. A GRACEFUL person is much more likely to win regard from people generally. 4. Parental antagonism tends to make a headstrong youth CARE more for the girl he loves (Dare). - Note the implied comparison .im more. With Dare it indicates that he has already dared for her ? an unjustified assumption. CARE is open to no such criticism. 5. Many a meek man's LIFE is made miserable by his relatives (Wife) . - Wife is weak. She need not be meek; in fact, more often than not the wife of a meek man is self assertive. LIFE is more reasonable. 7. An ambitious man is often apt to be dissatisfied with his BEST (Bent). - As his Bent is his natural aptitude, this amounts to a contradiction in terms. BEST is better with often apt; he's ambitious, and impatient even with reasonable progress. 9. A disjointed TALE is apt to be irritating (Talk). - TALE is better. Normally, we g*ve all our attention to a TALE and expect to be entertained by it. This isn't true of Talk; much talk is disconnected in nature. 13. We usually feel rather sorry for a man who is BOWED by a shrewish wife (Cowed) . - Usually points to BOWED. It's such a strong term. He's completely dorr. mated by her. We needn't feel so sorry for him when he's merely Cowed; he's merely frightened of her, but still has will to resist if he warns to. 14. It's sometimes possible to READ a person by a look (Rend). - Figuratively, to Rend someone is to reproach him so severely that his feelings become an emotional turmoil - it goes too far here. READ is better. Expressions and att itudes often clue us to a person's nature. 15. HIRING somebody is sometimes one of a conscientious employer's most difficult decisions (Firing). - Firing a man is always difficult for a conscientious person. He realizes all that the Firing implies for the employee. Only sometimes are the job requirements such that the man doing the HIRING must have a most difficult time of it. DOWN L. We usually esteem an opponent who shows GRIT when we've a big lead over him (Grin). - Usually goes rather far with Grin; it need not be a sportsmanlike Grin. GRIT is better; it indicates courage, perseverance. 2. Agreeable FACE often does much to win a hostess popularity (Fare) . - Note that the Fare is merely agreeable (which is more or less to be expected); it's not described as excellent or outstanding. Agreeable when applied to FACE has much more significance; she herself is attractive. 3. What a waste it usually is when money is LEFT to a spendthrift! (Lent), - It need not be such a waste when money is Lent to him; much depends on terms of repayment and on the security. Money LEFT to him, however, has no conditions attached, generally speaking. 6. It seldom takes an experienced person long to pluck a FOWL (Fool). - Seldom fits well with FOWL; he is ex perienced. With Fool more depends on circumstances; his friends might keep a watchful eye over the Fool, to protect his interests. 8. Clothes that make people START are seldom in good taste (Stare). - START is better. The cloJiiqg is outlandish and in bad taste. Stare is weak. Fashionable clothes are often Stared at, with admiration. 10. It's usually very mean to take advantage of a person's being AGED (Abed). - Exceptions are more likely with AGED he might be in full possession of his mental faculties and it might be a business deal. With Abed, an unqualified statement is called for. 11. A DOUR expression is often a sign of a severe nature (Sour). -Often goes too far with Sour; many people with Sour egressions are far from severe. Their expressions might spring from timidity or fear. On the other hand. Dour means severe. 12. It sometimes irritates their parents when children are KEEN to show off (Seen). - Seen is open to question. They might show off unobtrusively, and the parents might even take pride In what they are able to do. KEEN means eager; the children make It clear to onlookers that they want to show off.

Ferebee, Mayor of Andrews, gave most of the credit for securing the new Federal and Post Office Building to Con gressman Roy A. Taylor.

Executive-Secretary to Congressman Taylor, Tom Mallonee, said the Congress man sent his regrets that he could not be present for the ground breaking. Congress man Taylor's absence was due to the fact that his pres ence was needed along with Governor Dan Moore for the signing of the Appalachain Bill. Congressman Taylor has been in the area for quite a few post office dedications and sent his promise that he would certainly be on hand when the new building in Andrews is dedicated. "Congressman Taylor has dedicated so many post ofi ice buildings lately, that if he dedicates many more, the Post Office Department was going to make him the 'offi cial dedicator' of post offi ces," Mr. Mallonee said.

The invocation was given by Rev. Joel T. Key, pastor of the First Methodist Church, and the benediction was giv en by Rev. Edward Whitson pastor of the Andrews Pres byterian Church.
