Carry 1 of Rou . 1, Murphy responded to our Scoutlet fishing story of last week. Ssys Mr. Carryl, "Type rod, type reel, type bait, or boat location has nothing to do with catching or not catch ing fish. It's what's up front that counts; who is holding the rod." -J A witness on the stand during a murder trial in this week term of Superior Court told the questioning attorney that he was so confused when questioned earlier byanS.B.I. Agent that he didn't know whether he was "coming or going". Solicitor Glen Brown, on cross examination, asked the witness if he was coming or going, while being asked the questions during the trial. The witnessed answered "I'm going." -J We would like to add Cuz Harry Bagley to our list of "Chrome Domes" who we would like to see with a toupee. We met Cuz's brother Ray the other day and we know who got all the looks in the Bagley family. Ray is the circulation manager of the Pensacola News-Journal in Pensacola, Fla. He also has a full head of hair. -J Have you ever seen so many ladies piercing their ears lately so they can wear those fancy 'through the ear* ear bobs Well here's a new twist. Martin Douglas, better known around town as "Mr.Clean", has one ear pierced, but well never say he wears ladies ear bobs cause he's as big as "Mr. Clean" and even looks like him. When Martin was a Marine in the South Pacific it was popular for the guys to pierce one ear and wear a big gold ear ring. Hee Hee, we can just see him now. -J Willard Allen of 219 Hilton Street reports that a grill, skiis, blankets, utensils, fry ing pan and a pound of coffey were stolen from his boat house parked at Beach Creek. Willard says that if the thief will come back he will give them a rotisserie, ski rope, ski belt, a pound of sugar and a dozen eggs to make their life complete. -J We didn't see it and we won't disclose the name of our reliable source who did for fear that his wife might take a rolling pin to him. Anyway, we understand that a bathing beauty went swimming inatop less bathing suit Sunday at the Hiwassee Lake Camp Ground Recreation Area. When the girl noticed she had an audience, she put the top back on. -J Several of the Scout employees attended the big 250 mile race in Atlanta Sunday, armed to the teeth with cameras and determined to get a story. Prior to the race they were all in the pits for the pre race activities. A big long black Cadillac rolled up and out stepped a famous movie star, Dale Roberson. Red Schuyler got his camera ready but just then a girl in a bikini stepped out and Red started clicking. Well, I'm here to tell you folks, all Red got of Dale Roberson was the back of his head. -J Man Lost In Clay Walks Oat Safely HAVESVILLE - A Canton, Ohio man, Arthur Alalak be came lost Monday afternoon while fishing with a friend, Clarence Stamey, In the Tus quittee section of Clay County.

A man who is excessively WARM is apt to arouse dislike (Wary). - WARM is better. We're apt to suspect insincerity or an ulterior motive when we encounter excessive demon strativeness or untempered cordiality. Apt understates with Wary. 6. People whose habit it is to CRAWL are seldom quite cured (Brawl). - Not Brawl, such a habit might spring from high spirits, which can be curbed and even truned to good purpose. CRAWL indicates b as em ess or spinelessness, a condition much more difficult to cure. 7. We're probably inclined to have more sympathy for young people than for old people when they are withoup HOPE (Home). - Home is open to question; it depends on circum stances; both young and old might get good care even without a Horn. Young people without HOPE have their lives ahead of them. The elderly have fewer years to endure without HOPE. 10. We're less likely to be impressed by a person's being SORE if he seems always to be so (Sure). - SORE is better. If a person seems always to be angry, we grow accustomed to this, and pay little attention to it. Sure is debatable; it all hinges on what he's sure about, and whether he's consistently right. II. Probably most of us tend to be irritated by pompous IDIOM (Idiot). - The triple restraint in probably, most of us and tend is too great with Idiot; he's not only a fool, but a pompous one. The restraint is better with IDIOM; in this case words alone are concerned. We need not pay attention to them. 13. At times many of us HATE to give way to opinions that we don't share (Have). - Most - if not all of us - Have to give way to opinions that we don't share more frequently than is Implied by at times. HATE is a much stronger term, and calls for the restraint of the clue. 14. Drunkard's vows to give up liquor are often uttered in PAIN (Vain). - At least usually is called for with Vain. The restraint of often is better with PAIN. 15. There's more likelihood of our MAKING an opportunity to improve our position when we're young (Talking). - MAKING is better. We're more likely to explore all possibilities, adapt ourselves and take risks when young. Taking implies mere fitness for a ready-made opportunity, which scarcely agrees with youthful qualities. DOWN: L When WIG Is too obvious it often fails to achieve its intended effect (Wit). -Often doesn't understate with WIG; reallzm need not be the intended effect; a comedian might wear one for laughs. Wit that is too obvious is very likely to fall flat; at least usually is required. 2. Probably there's nothing more likely to make a mother RASH than to be told her child Is in danger (Rush). -RASH yes; her child is probably her dearest possession. Rush is more open to question; she might be just as likely to Rush in any of several crises. 3. One seldom CARES openly to criticize a friend's choice of a wife (Dares). - Dares goes rather far; it isn't so much that we haven't the courage to do it as that we don't want to hurt the feelings of those concerned. It's for that reason that seldom CARES is the better answer. 6. We're often apt to regret RELIEVING a stranger who tells us a hard luck story , (Belelvlng ). - RELIEVING is better beacuse it goes so much further than Believing. We might believe him but do nothing about it; when we RELIEVE him, we give him help. 8. Most of us would go out of our way to see a thrilling SIGHT (Fight). - Fight isrTt so appropriate with most of us. Many people have an aversion to fighting. SIGHT covers a wider field; it has a general interest. 9. To make a poet's IDEAS practicable would most likely necessitate a change of human nature (Ideal). - An Ideal is a conception of perfection which can sometimes be coo ls a conception of perfection which can sometimes be achieved, but which is scarcely practicable, as a rule. Most likely understates, considering human nature. Practicable clues you to IDEAS, which fits better in specific reference to a poet. i of our Not all poets' ideas are at variance with inclinations i human nature. 12. A well-bred person seldom boasts about his WIN (Kin). ? With Kin, too much depends on how food the well-bred person is of a particular relative. WIN U the better word ?H some of the children to ride on ? big passenger bus, their first time to the Cherokee Indian Reservation, and their first trip to a Recreation Park and Zoo. Head Start has done a great f?r Cherokee County children with all children of pre-school age having had an opportunity to attend Head Th,e State of North Carolina does not sponsor a pre-school program so the rich and poor alike are de prived of this training. Ninety-two children were enrolled in the Cherokee County Unit, the goal was to attain 100 %, "It's the most wonderful program our children have Ihhh !1xp*rienced." Mrs. Addilee B. Brown, Director of Head Start in Cherokee County said. "Most of our children have already undergone a phy sical examination by a doctor and we have employed 3 demists through the State Board of Health to make dental corrections for our pre school children. They will be located at the Health Center August 9, 10, and 11 (Monday. Tuesday, and Wednesday). We Plan to correct as many defects as possible during our 8 weeks program." The dentist program is des igned to identify children in need of dental care. Each examination includes prophy lactic care, instruction in good dental care procedures and provision for preventive ser vices. The examining dentist m~es recommendations for additional care required by referral to appropriate clinics or to private dentists. in "?We,hiVe fed ** children "Hefd Start a type A meal and have provided a mid morning snack each day. Some of our communities have sent in fresh green beans, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, okra, and cabbage from their gardens. This has helped tremendously. We have some communities who take charge of the mid-morning snack and come to school and serve it to the children. This gives the parent a wonderful chance to visit with the tea cher and children. We hope the parents in other comm unities will also respond in wis way. Head Start needs your help and cooperation. We hope our program is such a success that our Board ofEd ucation will sponsor it gsin, Mrs. Brown said. Couple Hurt In Colif.

T. H. Sawyer, President of the two companies, stated that a building addition totheSylva toll center is scheduled this fall to accomodate additional positions of toll boards which will be installed during the winter and spring of 1966. The additional positions of toll board will make it possible for the telephone company to increase the number of tele phone operators during the busy tourist season. In addition to the increase in toll board positions at the Sylva toll center, the companies plan to increase the number of toll circuits from each exchange to the Sylva toll center by at least thirty per cent and are working in conjunction with the Bell Sys tem to increase the number of toll circuits from the Sylva toll center to trunking centers such as Asheville, Charlotte, and Atlanta. These improvements are all scheduled for completion prior to June 1, 1966 and are a part of a Three Million Dollar general expansion and improvement program sched uled by the companies for the years 1965-1966. Mr. Sawyer stated that the unprecedented tourist season this year had taxed the toll facilities of the comjpanies to the extent that toll service had been seriously impaired, particularly during peak hours, but the toll plant add itions scheduled by his com panies and the Bell Company for completion prior to the 1966 season should provide the area with adequate toll service. Westco Telephone Comapny plans to continue their sched ule of improving local service the remainder of 1965 and all through the year 1966. Due to the copper shortage, the program has been delayed. The manufacturers of cable are now quoting a 22 to 26 weeks delivery. The cable to complete the Peachtree Brasstown-Pinelog Comm unities has already been ord ered. The new building for the Suit Exchange has been completed and equipment will be installed in the near future. 175 Miles Appalachia Roads Set The Appalachian Regional Commission has approved a total of 175.9 miles of major development highway corr idors for North Carolina under the new Appalachian Regional Development Program.

Archer Jr. said this week that the com pany has mailed checks to all its customers who were due refunds. Mr. Archer said that during July, Nantahala mailed to customers 12,730 refund checks totaling $1,059,267.85, which included $160,940.78 in interest. Refund checks to Nanta hala's residential customers were mailed July 30, he said and these checks were dated July 31 with interest paid to that date. The power com pany's industrial customers received refund checks around the first of the month, and commercial power customers due refunds were mailed checks on July 15. Completion of the refunding by Nantahala came two months and three days after Mr. Ar cher announced on May 27 that the company would not appeal the Superior Court decision which affirmed the company's present electric rates, and that refunds would be made on the basis of the North Caro ina Utilities Commission's orders of 1963 and 1964. Mr. Archer pointed out that the number of checks mailed does not correspond exactly with the number of customers who received re funds, since many customers received more than one check because they lived at more than one address or were served by more than one meter during the period bonded rates were in effect. He revealed that two checks went to customers who buy power for resale, 30 to in dustrial customers, 1,051 to commercial customers, and 11,647 to residential custo mers. He added that approx imately 62 per cent of the company's residential custo mers received refunds, and that customers who did not receive refunds were those who used only small amounts of power each month during the bonded rate period. Rates for small consumption of pow er under the present sched ules are equal to or higher than the bonded rates for low use, and in these cases no refunds were due. All of the refund checks show the amount of interest included on the front of the check, and residential custo mers who received a refund including more than $10 in interest also received an Int ernal Revenue Service form 3435 which gives instructions for notifying the power com pany of the customer's Soc ial Security number. * Customers can either list their number in space pro vided on the back of the check or on the IRS form and re turn this form to Nantahala. The company is required to report to IRS all interest pay ments of more than $10.
