" Second Class Postage Paid At Murphy, North Carolina. ACROSS: 3. Without adequate ZEST an ambitious person is unlikely to succeed (Rest).- Not Rest; instances are not few in which successful men held two jobs at the same time or in which they put in many more than the normal hours of work. Without the necessary ZEST, however, their ambition is of little avail. 5. Often, the more shy a youth is the more likely he is to be embarrassed by a feminine STORE (Stare).* Often doesn't go far enough with Stare. The restraint is better with STORE. Nothing in the clue suggest he must shop in the STORE. 7. His being unduly TIDY sometimes causes a schoolboy to be teased by his fellows (Tiny).- The Tiny boy is teased more frequently than sometimes. The TIDY boy is less pestered. Nothing in the clue Indicates he's foppish. 8. We often have a tendency to exaggerate about our GAINS (Pains).- To exaggerate our Pains is a human falling. Often understates. We're more careful in exaggerating our GAINS ? it would be less than prudent to let others know so much about our affairs. 11. We're seldom surprised to hear of a reckless gambler losing his WAGES (Wager) - It's never surprising id hear that a reckless gambler has lost his Wager. Seldom allows for those occasions when he is not foolish as well as reckless. In those Instances, we would be surprised to learn he'd lost his WAGES. 14. Often, the more understanding parents are the more re luctant they are to suppress a youthful REVEL (Rebel). - Understanding parents aren't usually foolish parents. They'd squelch a young Rebel In short order. REVEL is better; they were young once, themselves, and they ARE understanding. 15. Age is often the cause of increased trouble with CAR (Ear). It's open to question whether age is often the cause of in creased Ear trouble. There's much less doubt about CAR; parts wear out or break down and have to be replaced. 16. A sense of humor sometimes helps you to endure a humi liating SLIGHT (Plight).- SLIGHT is better. It's less important than Plight. Much depends on who treats you indifferently or disrespectfully. A humiliating Plight affects you directly, importantly and deeply. DOWN: 1. A man used to spending most of his time with men is often MUTE with women (Mutt).- There's nothing to indicate that his associations have made him a Mutt, that he's stupid. MUTE is better. He's not used to talking to women. 2. It's often very difficult to listen patiently to utterances that are TRIPE (Trite).- TRIPE, nonsense, fits well with often and very. Trite is weak. Such utterances are merely commonplace, hackneyed. Much of what we say is Trite. 4. When an industry STRIVES to improve working conditions, it often improves the lot of others unconnected with it (Strikes). Strikes, is debatable, the strikes might cause unemployment and suffering in other fields of employment. STRIVES is more to the point; often applies because it might not be entirely successful. 6. Some people who lead busy lives never seem to REST (Rust). REST makes a reasonable, straightforward statement. Not so Rust. It means to lose ability through idleness, which scarcely applies to people who lead busy lives. 9. We're apt to be irritated when people take advantage of a friend of ours just because he is SPORT (Short).- The restraint in apt is better with SPORT because the advantage they take is unlikely to be of a serious nature. Short can apply to his size or his financial condition; in both cases the advantage is more likely to be serious. 10. It usually calls for more than a little skill to DARN well (Yarn).- Usually doesn't go far enough with Yarn- otherwise there would be many more people who could yarn welll Ex ceptions are more likely with Q\RN; it might be a small hole. 12. Rare indeed are those who seldom GALL anybody (Gull). To use Gull is to imply that most of us cheat, trick, or dupe others intentionally, which is nonsense. When we GALL someone, it can be done unintentionally: the other person's attitude might well cause us to irritate him without meaning to. The person who goes through life without GALLing anyone is rare indeed. 13. A weak character's excuses for repeated failures are seldom NEW (Few).- That they're seldom NEW is quite in character; he fails repeatedly and probably blames everybody but himself. It's more open to question whether they are seldom Few: he mieht harp on one theme. Walter B. Dockery, Former County Commissioner, Dies H1WASSEE DAM - Walter B.

CHARLIE JOHNSON B NEW MURPHY UONS CLUB PRESIDENT - Left to right. Bob Easley, 1 Jons International Counselor; Charlie Johnson, aocapta g??el u new Murphy Lions Clut) president; Lawrence Stoker, District 31 -A Oownor; and Wally Williams, Immediate past president of Murphy Lions Clii Installation services took place Monday, Jura 21. Division. He is secretary treasurer of the Hitchcock Corp. a Murphy Talc mining operation. Bourne, a member of the Murphy Town Board since May 10, 1956, would serve on a revamped Highway Commiss ion that will be headed by Joseph M. Hunt, Jr. of Green sboro. The 14th Division consists of the counties of Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Hen derson, J ackson, Macon, Polk, Swain, and Transylvania. Gov. Dan K. Moore is ex pected to announce the app ointments of Hunt and a comm issioner for each of the state's 14 highway divisions this week. The new commission will take office July 1. Bourne appears to have emerged as the governor's choice for commissioner of the 14th Division. Others men tioned for the post included Robert M. White, also of Mur phy, W. H. McDonald of Tryon, and Dan M. Allison , Sr. of Sylva. White is a former chair man of the Cherokee County Democratic Party. He op erates the Murphy Wood Co. McDonald Is a manufactur ing executive and a former member of the Sute House of Representatives, and Is now chairman of the Polk County Democratic Party. Go*. Moore is believed to feel that the new commissioner should come from one of the counties west of the French Broad River. Allison, until recently fig ured prominently in recomm endations for the post, but he has withdrawn because of close family ties with the governor. Allison and Moore are double first cousins. All ison, one time chairman of of the Jackson County Democratic party and former clerk of court, withdrew rather than cause the gover nor any criticism. Through! a reorganizations! act of the 1965 Legislature, the present 19-member co mmission was cut to 15 mem bers, including the new dir ectorship, thus giving Gov. Moore an opportunity to appoint his ownxommisslonto carry out his highway program during the next four years. ?SCOUT EDITORIALS Bourne Is Man For Job Francis C. Bourne, Jr. of Murphy and Cherokee County is an excellent choice for the post of State Highway Commissioner from the 14th Division. This newspaper heartily endorses Mr. Bourne and recomm ends that Governor Moore give his appointment every consid eration. The "Man from the West" that now rules the roost in Raleigh believes that the new highway commissioner for this district should come from west of the French Broad River. Westerns should take notice of this attitude on the part of our Governor. He has not forgotten the West as so many have done in the past. Nor should the West forget him. Governor Moore continues to need strong support from this area to carry out his programs. Francis C. Bourne, Jr. is a man that can lend strength, ability, and enthusasim to any program. He will be a working highway commissioner, working for the betterment of the western division and of North Carolina. Now Comes The Time For Big Appointments The General Assembly is closing up its work, and should be ready to head home within a matter of hours. It has been termed a hard working group of lawmakers. Now comes the time when Gov. Moore will begin making important appointments. Such appointments seldom come until after the General Assembly has headed home. Among some of the appointments will be highway commissioners. The men (or women) to fill these posts are looked upon by the general public as the top of the list. Perhaps it is because the highways are so Important these days, and most people feel free to express their feelings about roads. The Highway Commissioner for this area will come from the district composed of Polk, Henderson, Haywood, Tran sylvania, Macon, Jackson, Swain, Clay, Graham, and Cherokee Counties. Several prominent and capable men have been mentioned from time to time about the post. It is almost a forgone conclusion that neither Haywood nor Jackson is in the running, since both counties are considered the home of the governor. That leaves some nine other counties to provide a favorite son -- a man qualified, capable, and with the time to do die job. There have been highway commissioners who worked. Others held the position as a matter of honor. This district needs a working commissioner. There is lots to be done. We have had some good men In the place, such as D. Reeves Noland of Haywood, Harry Buchanan and Ben Price of Hend erson, E. L. McKee of Jackson, L. Dale Thrash, Andy Nesbltt of Buncombe (now In another district), and Percy Ferebee of Cherokee. A man who assumes the work , will find it Is an almost full time, exacting, often nerve-wracking post, and hell also learn that he will put more money Into it than he will get out, (Waynes ville Mountaineer, July 16, 1965). Senator Forsyth Stands Tall By Sitting Tight On Bills Senator Frank Forsyth of Cherokee County has been credited with saving Governor Dan K. Moore's program. The Senator was personally commended by the Governor at the close of die legislative session In Raleigh last week. Forsyth, powerful chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, literally sat on 941 million worth of tax reduction and rebate legislation sponsored by many Urge North Carolina cities. Gov. Moore was reported to have told Forsyth that the bills as proposed would have "scuttled" his programs. He thanked Forsyth for this courageous stand. Big city newspapers reported the Senator's stand in favor of the Governor's program and against the majority of hts finance committee and big city legislators and lobbyists. These newspaper accounts also stated that Forsyth's senate col leagues affectionately referred to him as"Slttlng Bull" and "Cochise, chief of the powerful tribeof Cherokee". They did so in recognition of his one man stand for Governor Moore and i in respect to his senority and position as chairman. Again the Governor has been rewarded for his belief in and j of the West. We, too, commend Senator Forsyth for an unpopular Job "well done". Carolya Owtiby Eoras Dtgrtt SWANNANOA - Miss Car olyn Marie Ovenby, daughter of Mr. and Mr*. EdwrdOw enby, Route a.
