West jefferson School Is
Closed By Lack OF Heat

The West Jefferson grade school
has been closed for lack Of heat
but it is expected that school chill
dren will be back In class rooms
within a few days, according to
the West Jefferson school board.
The Board explained that it was
necessary to dismiss grade classes
for two reasons. One for the fact
that the furnace in the old school
has quit functioning, At the same
time the new unit heaters for the
new building which had been or
dered months ago have not ar
rived. Thus. stated the board
grades 3 through 6 will remain out
until the new unit heaters arrive.
However, a board member said
that the manufacturer of the heat
ers, when contacted on Wednes-
day stated that the heaters would
be shipped Immediately In this
event school will resume next
Monday,
The school board further stated
that they hoped that West Jeffer-
son residents would bear with
them since the delay has been due
to many factors such as the steel
shortage and other war conditions.
Further, the board stated that it
is doing everything possible to
alleviate the situation.

CoMETN6Es we think that too little
- attention is given to the fair sex
in automobile advertising.
After all, it's the woman of the house
who has to do most of the shopping,
which involves getting into tight
places at the curb. And it's surprising
what tight spots a Buick can fit into at
turn of the wheel.
It's the woman who likes complete
freedom from things that it takes an
engineer TO operate-and complete
and utter freedom from mechanical
complications is exactly what makes

ed upon Tuesday night when the
Belhaven board of aldermen met
at the city hall.
Mayor w. T. Ralph, introducing
the subject Of stray dogs, said
Everybody is plaguing the life Out
of me about them" The nuisance
of stray dogs has been described
to the aldermen as becoming more
annoying all the time.
The board decided to ask owners
to keep their dogs up for 80 days.
beginning Oct. Is, to Nov. Is. Dur
ing that period, every dog at large
is to be caught by the police and
put in a pound.
Owners may redeem they by
payment of 81 plus feed bill, set

to ask that two public rest rooms

cate how many, he said that in
nine months the court had turned
over to the treasurer $9645.46 and
now had $5763.24 in partial pay
ments in the bank.
Although some of the aldermen
pointed out that keeping public
rest rooms clean was an almost
impossible job, Judge Jones said,
"Send any offenders to me and
they won't offend again"
