BOARD CONSIDERS
PUBLIC HEALTH
UNIT

The Board of Supervisors held
an uneventful session Monday.
Not even the usual stock Law pc
tons and requests for roads to
be taken into the highway sys-
tenn came up.
The Board authorized the cocn
ty treasurer to contract a loan
of $4,000 for a period of 60 days
to meet current Obligations until
new taxes and state supplements
come in.
Requests were made for i'm
provements of the roads from
Trammel to Trammel Gap and
from the head of Ratchet to the
intersection of the Bear Ridge
road. Also requested was h e
hard-surfacing of the road from
Greenwood to Open Fork.
The clerk informed the board
that the state health department
could now supply personnel for
a public health unit in this coun-
ty. Such unit is charged primar-
lily with the detection and con-
troll of contagious diseases-not
treatment. The majority of the
members expressed no interest
in the proposition.
The welfare department was
assigned a number of rooms in
the old jail building as office
quarters. 1t is understood that
this agency will move into the
new location at an early date.
The resident highway engin-
eer, L. R Treat, appeared before
the board in the afternoon to dis
cuss the secondary road prob

the road budget for the coming
year. Among other improvements

JURY FAILS TO
AGREE IN CALVIN
MOORE CASE
Will Be Tried Again In
September Term OF
Court

The jury could not agree on a
verdict in the Calvin Moore case
last Saturday. That means anoth-
er trial during the September
term of court.
The case went to the jurors at
o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Three times they reported that
they could not agree, and three
times were sent back for more
deliberation. Weary and haggard,
they came from the room at six
o'clock to say that an agreement
seemed impossible.
It is understood that all jurors
favored conviction but differed
widely on a penalty. Several ac-
counts have been given as to the
differences.
The prosecution sought to show
that on March 10 Moore deliber-
ately and maliciously shot and
killed Kenneth Mullins, 10 year
old high school student. The de-
tense contended that the shoot
ing was accidental At the time,
a fight was going on between
Elmer Moore, a son of Calvin, and
Crit Mullins, Kenneth's father
Ballard Mullins, brother of
Crit, was approaching Moore. The
defense maintained that Moore
shot to deter Ballard Mullins and
that the bullet accidentally hit
Kenneth.
The trial was hard fought, with
attorneys M M Long and Fred
Greear assisting the common
wealth's attorney in the prosecu-
ton, and w. A. Daugherty, S Fl
Sutherland and Ben F. Suther-
land representing the defendant.
All seats in the courtroom were
taken, and spectators lined the
walls during the course of the
arguments

AGED NEGRO KILLED
BY TRAIN ON
WEDNESDAY

A colored man, apparently
more than 70 years of age and
identified by a social security
card as Henry Greenlee of john
son City, Tenn, was struck and
instantly killed by the railroad
shifter at Stagger Hollow, short
distance above Nora, about 1890

Deputy John Hammons, who
investigated the circumstances,
states that the engineer of the
shifter told him that he saw the
man sitting ON one end of a cross
tie, with head cupped in hands.
The northbound shifter was max

be stopped until twelve car
lengths had passed the place of
the accident. The train apparent

er in the morning asking for food
and inquiring the way to Elkhorn

Casualties suffered in the Korean war, up to Nov. 17th make this struggle the fourth boodiest in the his tory of the United States
 With totl of 29996 the fighting in Korea tops the losses of the SpanshAmerican and the Mexican wars combined It equals the losses of the Revolutionary and the War of 1912, with 10000 to spare
 Of course the casualties nowhere approach the 250, 900 of World War or the 1,130,000 of World War II, but with the struggle still going many young Amer jeans will pay dearly for serving their country.

CHAPTER l3 LONESOME BOY SHOOTS

The black hole was the entrance to a mammoth cave filled with the roar of the sea.
 Bucky and the Jindian crept clowly in and peered about. Strange bluish lights flickered from the walls. Jagged rocks jut- ting from the ceiling threw enor- omus eerie shadows on the sides of the cave. Was Herman the Wozzle hiding here?
 For a long while the two hunt CTS listened for a sound to tell them where the creature was. But the sea pounding on the rocks out side made such noise they could hear nc other sound.
 Cautiously they searched the cave - their bows and arrows ready in their hands. They found a tunnel that seemed to lead into another cave. The tunnel glowed with blue light. It was plain to see that nothing was hiding there. The two boys crept through it and entered the. second cave. Here it was quiet. They could scarcely hear the far away sea.
 It was a smaller cave than the fire but it too was empty. They noticed three doors leading out of the cave. They knew that the Wozzle was behind one of those doors.
 Bucky finally found his voice. (Which one shall we try" he whispered. Lonesome Bog shrug- ged his shoulders. He, too, seemed unable to move.
 Bucky raised a finger, "Eenie, meenie, miney, moe," he whis- pered. When he finished, he tip toed to the door that was pointed out. Softly he opened it and peer ed in.
 It was kitchen! But the strang- est kitchen you ever saw! In the center was a stove made of rocks with glowing fire of seaweed and drift wood. Across the top of the stove was small whale. It was being cooked for someone's dinner!
 Quickly Bucky shut the door. Lonesome Boy went to the second

Korean Situation At A Glance

Continued from Page One) Seoul. The main reason is terrain and the fact the Eighth Army does not have the manpower to throw up defenses on the right flank all across the peninsula.
 "The Chinese know this and have massed their power in cen tral Korea where they are in po- sition to hit on this right flank if the army should make a fighting stand for Seoul"
 (P) correspondent O. H. P. King said talk of compromise with the Chinese communists was general in Seoul. He said President Syng- man Rhee of the South Korean Republic was adamant in refusing to yield. King added that there are strong undercurrents of doubt and disappointment" be- meath carefully maintained show of Allied harmony in Seoul.
 The Moscow press reported North Korean president Kim Il Sung had ordered his forces and the Chinese fighting with them to push American armies into the sea.
 The climoctic point of collapse ir the campaign sponsored by 53 non-communist nations to smash Red Korean aggression and unify the divided country was accom- panied by near-panic among Ko- rean civilians.
 Hordes of non-military Koreans and probably some fifth col umnists-were swarming south ward across the frozen country side. They crowded into every available vehicle or tru d g e through the snow and long roads and trails. Whole villages were on the move in queues of desperation or opportunity in the case of disguised Reds.
 Anxiety was apparent in South Korea's capital of Seoul. Lines of refugees streamed south w d from the city as crowds entered from the north with their feeling of insecurity unabated.

door. He opened it. Here was bedroom with a circular bed that wound round and round the room.
 "I guess he needs all that for his tail!" thought Bucky. He was glad the bed was empty.
 Only one door remained. To- gether the boys pushed it open a tiny crack. They never made sound. But it would not have mat tered if they had for in the room itself there was a most extraor- dinery noise.
 Someone was humming a song But what a humming! Like pots and pans hanging in kitchen or children skating on an attic floor.
 Suddenly they saw someone. It was Herman the Wozzle!
 The hideous creature, standing on his bird legs and balancing himself with his snake tail, was looking in a mirror while he shaw ed his lion face and hummed his dreadful croaking tune.
 Bucky overcome with fright. backed away from the door.
 ''I can't help it" he thought mis- erably. "I'm going to run away" He started off-the scaredest lit tie cowboy that ever was.
 But Lonesome Boy drew back on his bow and took careful aim with his arrow through the crack in the bathroom door. Suddenly Herman the Wozzle moved away from the mirror.
 Zing! the arrow left the bow and straightway shattered the mir rGr to pieces.
 Herman the Wozzle roared. He snatched wide open the door, and fixed the terrified Jindian with an awful glare.
 Al the roar, Bucky turned back to see what was happening.
 "Who comes to my cave must die'" screamed the Wozzle and he reached for the Jindian.
 Lonesome Boy let go with an other arrGw-aimed straight and true at the Wozzle's heart. But Herman reached .o'it, ::augh: the arrow as if it had been a rubber ball, and broke it in two. Again adn again Lonesome Boy shot ar rows. Herman laughed and caught them all and broke them to pieces.
 Finally no arrows were left. Then Herman the Wozzle stopped laughing and prepared D pounce on the Jindian boy. Bncky the cowboy stood quaking in the t.ln- nel door.
