[ Progress At WCTC j Western Carolina Teachers College has i taken another major step in its movement toward becoming one of the State's insti- ! tutions of higher learning. The announcement this week by President Paul 4 A PpiH that the college has added a graduate division with work leading to j the degree of Master of Arts in Educa tion, comes as good news to the thou- { sands of friends of the institution. ! Situated as it is in the delightful scenic ' and climatic heart of Western North Carolina, it should now draw many more ; students for the regular, college course and to those seeking to do their graduate 1 work in so delightful surroundings. Summer school work in the hot centers, such ' as Chapel Hill and Nashville, has been very trying. With the opportunity now to study, rest and relax in the cool breezes, Western North Carolina will certainly be attractive to those seeking to do graduate work during the summer < months. Dr. Reid and his committee are to be congratulated upon having taken the necessary steps for bringing the college up to the standard of being recognized as ready to offer the degree. Response Is Good The response to appeals for funds to help pay the hospital and medical bills of little Charles Simms has been most , gratifying. Almost everyone approached, individuals, and clubs alike, have given something. The little fellow has made such a gallant fight, and apparently has won, that the people have opened up their hearts to his need and responded splendidly. Charles is now up and running around the hospital but it isheartrending to see his little arm and shoulder gone. He lost his right arm, and his side is almost straight from his neck down, not having a shoulder or stub of an arm left. r The Woodmen of the World, Rotary Club and other clubs have taken a keen interest in the little fellow and they hope to see some program worked out for putting Charles through high school and on through some college or vocational program for making him a self-supporting norcnn wVinn VlP 0TOWS UD. , o - i Parking On Mill Street It appears to us that the citizens of Sylva are going to have to demand some drastic action regarding unlimited parking on Mill Street.

Hutcheson, General President Inited Brotherhood of Carpenters and oiners and Vice president of the American Federation of Labor, in an address efore the Joint Session of the House of )elegates of the American Medical Asociation in Cleveland, Ohio, on Septem-| ier 7, made the following remarks: "I, m against socialized medicine. So is1 he organization which I have the honor f heading. At the twenty-sixth Genral Convention of the brotherhood held n Cincinnati last September 1, 300 deleates, representing better than 54 per ent of the total membership, voted down resolution to support the National ieakh Program. 1 his probably Iocs not jibe with the feelings of a good leal of the rest of labor movements be-| :ause much of the pressure for "free"! nedical care is coming from labor organizations. But it does reflect my seniments and the sentiments of our recent invention. "Saving a dollar has never been dis-j asteful to me. In fact, I like to get asj nuch for my money as the next man.| rhat is one of the reasons why I oppose ;ocialized medicine. It is no bargain. It ooks cheap the way the backers present j t, but when you dig down under the ancy layer of propaganda frosting you 'ind that it can be mighty expensive. The' British people have already discovered! his fact. The July issue of International! Labour Office, contains some very inter-' ?sting data on the operation of the National Health Service in Britain. I quote * few lines of that report: "The total (gross) cost of the National Health Service in 1948-1949, the first /ear of operation, greatly exceeded the Driginal estimate. This was 265 million pounds, as against a revised estimate of 368 million pounds, with a net cost to the taxpayer of 278 million pounds. The revised estimate for the year 1949-1950 was 450 million pounds as against an original estimate of 352 million pounds. For the 1950-1951, the cost is estimated at 484 million pounds; in 1946 when the r?*ii 1 1 1 : 1 Din was passecu ine service was oeneveu to cost 167 mijlipn founds a year. "If the day e^teiK*>mes to America when Uncle Sam usurps the power to dictate to doctors under a health plan, it will be a sad day for carpenters. Adequate housing is still an unsolved problem in this country, especially for the poor. If it is logical to nationalize the medical profession to get more medical service for the poor, it is equally logical to nationalize the home construction industry to get roofs over the heads of the lower income groups. "I do not know much about doctors, but I know quite a bit about carpenters. They are an independent lot. They want to work where and how they please. The first bureaucrat who told a carpenter he had to work in Little Rock when he wanted to work in Lancaster would be gumming his food for lack of teeth.

"They will retain these freedoms only so long as all other groups retain theirs. Socialization is like a wolf with a tapeworm; once it starts gnawing, it never can stop. Socialized medicine would onlv be the first bite out of our free en%/ terprise system; it would not be man> years before the carpenters would be feeling the teeth of socialization on the seats of their overalls.

It is now prohibited in these' places from Saturday to Monday, di [The big argument of those who m favor this proposition is that it will a stop the bootlegging of whiskey ni on Sunday. They claim that it will wot materially increase the conI sumption but will only legalize j the business and allow the state . and town to get the tax which is .. tii now going to the bootlegger. I e? That is always the favored argu- ^ ment and it is always supported by ^ the manufacturers and distribu- c, tors of the whiskey.

They concluded from their stu- * es that fear of the atomic bomb ight be a restraining though not decisive factor in Soviet planng. The Britons warned the West gainst a too firm reliance on the :om bomb and pointed out that was no substitute for convenonal weapons. Its strategic use irly in a war, they admitted, light have a decisive effect but ley argued that the devastation lused by such use would not ecessarily break the will of the ?ople to resist. The chief value of the atomic Dmb, they argued, was uncertainr as to whether and how it would 5 used. The highly centralized Dlitieal and economic control dieted by the politburo was espeally vulnerable to atom bomb k ttack, they pointed out, but stated lat it was useless to prevent So- r iet aggression where done by roxy and where Soviet forces 'ere not involved.?Times, Breard. * reterans Service Officers To Meet A district meeting of Veterans ervice Officers for the Western istrict of North Carolina Veterns Commission has been called >r 1:00 p.m., Friday, December 5, in the American Legion Hall i Sylva.
