Some Husbands
Face Draft Call
Married men without child
ren will face the draft by Jan
uary In many parts of the co
untry. Several slates will start
inducting them' even sooner.
This was disclosed after an
announcement Tuesday by the
Selective Service System in
Washington that restrictions
have been lifted on drafting
men married before Aug. 26.
Agency officials in at least
eight states said plans are
under way to start drafting
married men without child
ren In December. This will
Include men In the 19-26 age
group, with older men In the
bracket to be inducted first
The North Carolina Selec
tive Service said it does not
plan to call married men with
out children this year.
A sampling of other state
draft boards indicated most
anticipated calling married
men by January as the supply
of eligible single men shrinks.
"No doubt about it, we're
going to have to induct some
childless married men in Dec
ember and January," saldOs
car N. Grandmalson, New
Hampshire Selective Service
Director.
Montana draft board off
icials said they already
have drafted a few men who
were married after Aug. 26
and Intend to call even more
next month.
In Minnesota, authorities
said nearly every eligible si
ngle man will have been called
for induction by the end of
the year. Married men with
out children will be called In
December.
Most of the State Selective
Service Directors say schol
astic deferments and the num
ber of single men rejected by
the draft boards have cut into
the pool of eligible unmarried
men available for the in
creased draft calls.
Other states planning to
draft childless married men
in December include Mary
land, Idaho, Connecticut, New
Jersey, New Mexico, Ala
bama, Washington and Wis
consin.
Several other states said it
is likely the draft will be ex
tend ' to the childless married
men in December, and no later
than January, depending on
individual board quotas.
One Oklahoma official said,
"It is quite possible that in
December, but certainly by
January, that we will begin
drafting older married men."
That sentiment was ex
pressed by officials in Maine,
Texas, Arkansas, Kansas,
Nebraska, California, Nevada,
and Massachusetts.
Michigan officials have in
formed local boards to start
calling in the married menfor
physical examinations.
On-Job Training Begins
At Andrews Furniture
On-the-job training at the
new Andrews Furniture Ind
ustries plant in Andrews, off
icially got under way on Thur
sday morning November 11
with the Initial twelve train

ployees for training on a
gradual build 14) basis for the
Finish Mill, Machine Sanding,
Sub-Assembly, Assembly and
Finishing Department
Several key men are being
transferred to the Andrews
Furniture operation from
Magnavox cabinet plants in
Tennessee to train new empl
oyees; however, company
officials have expressed that
whenever possible local men
will be trained and promoted
to supervisory jobs as they
acquire the necessary cabinet
manufacturing skills.
At the present time, the
Personnel Department is also
seeking skilled men from the
general four county area for
work as Patternmakers, Jig
and Fixture Builders, and
Molder Head Builders. Any
one having skills in one of
these categories of work is
requested to contact the per
sonnel offices immediately if
interested in employment.
Bulldogs Beat Franklin
Windup With 5-5 Record
The Murphy "Bulldogs" cl
osed out the 1965 season the
way they started. They won
their opening game and won
the closing game giving them
a season of 5 wins and 5
losses which also was an im
provement over last years
record. Last year they won
four and lost six.
The "Dogs" had things go
ing pretty much their way
throughout' die entire game,
scoring in every quarter with
die exception of the first. They
made iq> for this by ramming
across a six pointer In the
opening seconds of the second
quarter and then scoring again
before the half ended. The
final score was 26 to 6 with
the Bulldogs on top.
Stevens carried the ball ac
ross the double stripe for the
first Murphy score from the
three yard line. Wayman's
run for the extra point waa
good and the Bulldogs were
off and running. On the en
suing kickoff Norton, received
the kick on his 32 yard line
and ran all the way for 68
yards and six points. The try
for the extra point failed and
Murphy led 7-6. Minutes later
Stevens again scored another
tlx pointer from two yards
out. This time the extra point
try failed and the Bulldogs
retired to the dressing room
for the half with a 13-6 lead.
The Franklin lads could
never get their running stuck
going and started the second
half by filling the air with
the pigskin and completed sev
eral passes before Roger
Stiles latched on to one and
ran untouched across the
Franklin goal line for six
points. The intercepted pass
covered 88 yards. The try for
the extra point failed again.
In the fourth and final per
iod Murphy scored again with
John Shields going <he last
two yards and the run for the
extra point was good.
With the entire backfield
returning next year and most
of the linemen and with good
potential prospects advancing
from the freshman team to
the varsity the Bulldogs
should be a strong contender
for championship honors next
year.
Friday nights game was
played before the smallest
crowd to see the Bulldogs in
action this year.

Murphy High School Observes
National Education Week
Our youth lives in a world
of exploding knowledge, a
world in which he can see
clearly the shrinking need for
the uneducated and the un
trained. Thus, the need to set
aside one week called Nat

This is held each year in
November to acquaint the pub

Two Tied With 10 Points
In Football Contest
The Scout football contest
now moving into its eighth week
adds two new names to its
list of previous winners. Last
week's contest also had a
triple repeat winner and for
the first time since the con
test started, one person has
won three times James A.
Hughes having won two points
and three points previously,
topped all the entries the past
week and had a five point wi
nner, now giving him a total
of ten points and a tie for
first place with Hugh Carr
inger who has won five points
each two times. With first
and second place locked in a
tie, third place is wide open
with six people tied.
Actually, last week's con
test was the closest we have
had so far. No one submit
tted a perfect sheet. As a
matter of fact seven contes
tants missed a total of four
games and the tie breaker
was really p'lt to use to det
ermine, first, second and third
place winners. Here's the way
they were scored. James
Hughes missed the Virginia -
South Carolina, Duke - N. C.
State, Murphy - Franklin and
Army-Air Force Games. He
had as his tie breaker, Tenn.
to defeat Ga. Tech by a score
of 17-14. Second place and a
new name to the list was Bud
Alexander of Murphy. Bud mi
ssed the Maryland-Navy,Vir
ginia - South Carolina Syr
acuse - Oregon State, and
Army-Air Force games. He
predicted that Tenn would beat
Ga. Tech by a score of 7-6.
Third place and another new
name went to Bill Christy of
Murphy. Mr. Christy missed
the Virginia-South Carolina,
Duke-N. C. State, Army-Air
Force and Florida - Georgia
games and predicted G. Tech
to defeat Tenn. by a score of
17-14. Mrs. Katherine Sudd
erth was fourth and she mi
ssed the Clemson-North Car
olina, Syracuse-Oregon State,
Duke - N. C. State and Army
Air Force., and predicted Ga.
Tech to defeat Tenn. 14-10.
Fifth place went to Nina Ruth
Graves. She missed four
games and predicted Ga. Tech
to defeat Tenn., by a score
of 20-13. Hattie James missed
four and she predicted Ga.
Tech to defeat Tenn., by a
score of 22-14.
Due to the fact that Hayes
ville and Blairsville played
Thursday night instead of Fri
day night, we automatically
scratched this game.
With the contest to run four
more weeks, there is still
time for anyone to win either
of the three grand awards for
the big money.

Clay School Enjoys
New Improvements

ents and faculty at the Shoot

ing the vast improvements that
have been made there. During
the summer months the build
ing was completely redecor
ated by reflnlshipg all the stu
dent and teachers desks, pai
nting the entire building. This
was made possible by the Clay
County Board of Education
using the tax dollars paid by
Clay County citizen. Other
Improvements have been made
during the summer months
at the other Clay County sch
ools.
In addition to the building
Improvements, sinks, drain
3oards, pot and pan hooks,
live been installed, new fur

die Shooting Creek School,
where Mr. Bobby S. Burch is
principal. It is with pride that
the faculty and students watch
die flag wave over their sch

Last year the school ground
was landscaped and seeded
with grass and an old hedge
was removed.
Right Of Ways Most Important,
Holding Out Stalls Project
Now that the Road Bood
issue has been approved,the
engineers and State Highway
officials are concentrating on
projects throughout the 10
county Division, according to
A. J. Hughes, Divlson Engin
eer.
"One thing which should be
brought to the attention of the
public," Hughes said, "and
that is the regulation about
acquisition of right-of-way for
rural roads."
The State Highway Commi
ssion regulations forbid the
purchase of right-of-way for
rural roads ? those roads
without a US or NC number.
The property owners give the
land for the right-of-way, and
usually it is a matter of just
a few feet, since in a majority
of cases the present road
almost has enough right-of
way.
"Present rural road reg
ulations require a 6-foot right
of-way," Hughes said. "Very
often the state only used 35
or 40 feet, leaving some 10
or more feet on either side
of the road for the property
owner to utilize as they see
fit as long as no permanent
structure is put on the pro
perty."
There are a number of in
stances in the 10-county area
right now where the State
would like to pave the exist
ing road, but one or two peo
ple are holding out on right
of-way, and this stalls the
project.
"There are so many pro
jects being engineered, that
we do not have the manpower
to spend endless hours
seeking right-of-way from
those who refuse to coo
perate," Hughes continued.
"The truth of the matter is,
we have scores of places anx
ious and begging for roads
where there is not a right
of-way problem, and as a
means of saving money, and
getting the program underway,
we shall be forced by nece
ssity to go to such jobs," he
went on to explain.
The Division Engineer su
ggested that communities get
together, have a meeting, and
make sure the right-of-way
is no problem, and when the
time comes to modernize or
pave such a road there will
not be any wasted time.
"The money we spend bel
ongs to the people, and all our
State Highway officials are de
termined to get the most for
every dollar and for that
reason, we cannot waste ex
pensive man hours on some
projects haggling over right
of-way," Hughes went on to
explain.
The program just approved
by the people is not a crash
