A GARDEN VS. CHARITY
We have said before, in this column thai
those expecting to receive aid from the relief
organizations of the country next winter with
out trying to help themselves will find that
things will not be as they were the past winter.
.First, only those who havo shown that thev
have tried lo make a garden and care for t heir
families will be taken care of, and second, there
is a possibility that 'the 'funds for charity cases
will lie somewhat limited, if there is any at all
People in destitute circumstances could in
s me way plant a garden and grow quite a bit
of I'otalsfuifs if they are only willing to put out
a little work for themselves. Jf there are (hose
i.i ,vour. neighborhood taking the position that
the world owes them a living without them
having to woik for it, you would be doing that
r.er.son a great favor to remind him differently
and that by next '.winter he will come face to
f:ice -,wilii. the fact that, even if the: world docs
owe him a living he can't collect it from the
relief agencies unless he has shown he has tried
and done his best.
The .v:utie of a garden in dollars and cents
was recently given in the Morganton News
Jleralil as follows:
"Deducting the cost of seed and fertilizer.
a farm garden of one-half acre in size is worth
$1G8.3,'J to the owner in food provided, says II.
II. Niswonger, extension horticulturist at State
College
"Niswonger bases his statement on records
kept by 7f farm families in the piedmont and
foothill sections of North Carolina during the
past year. These families were composed of i
man and his wife and an average of four child
ren. "On tha average, these 75 families had
ene-half acre planted to the garden. The cost
of seed and fertilizer was $4.77 per. garden. The
value of the fresh vegetables used at home was
placed at $150 and each family canned an ave
rage of 110. quarts worth 15 cents a quart and
valued at $ 17.40. Fresh vegetables sold amoun
ted to an average of $15.70 and the surplus
given away was valued at $12.50. This makes
a total value per garden, less the cost of seed
and fertilizer, of $1G8.:5.'.
, ... "Thus it will be seen, he says, that it will
pay any family to have a good garden during
the coming season. The small family of six
persons may do very well with one-half acre but
larger families should arrange to plant at least
one whole acre in vegetables. Gardens of these
two sizes will permit of ample vegetable sup
plies except watermelons, cantaloupes and sweet
potatoes. These should be planted separately."
The I leudersonville Times-News published
a splendid Chamber of Commerce edition for
that city lurft week. The edition will aid the
Henderson vide Cha mber of Commerce in carry
ing on the work of attracting tourists to their
city and Western North Carolina.
The edition contained information that
prospective, tourists will be interested in, and
the manner in which it was prepared will tend
to create much interest for "the Gem City of
the Blue Ridge."
THE HORIZONTAL CUT
When the matter of either a revaluation
of real estate in Haywood County or a horizon
tal cut was first mentioned, we took the posi
tion that nothing but a revaluation would do,
but since going into the matter open-minded,
we have come to the conclusion that the pro
ceedure of the commissioners was best, although
there is quite a bit of argument that can be
made for a revaluation.
In either event, the commissioners would
have had to sit as an equalization board and
heard those who are dissatisfied with the new
valuation or the present valuation, so it seems
that it would be money spent for revaluing
property that in the long run would have to be
settled by the commissioners in June.
Then another argument for the hoiizontal
cut is that everybody knows what his property
is now on the tax books, and if it were revalued
it might be years before some would know.
The whole idea is to get inequalities regu
lated. We only have so much real estate to tax
and we must have a certain amount of money
to operate the county on, so it is only a matter
of getting everybody's real estate on an equal
basis with his neighbors, and not a matter of
which way you go about it, except for the dif
ference in expense, and the commissioners
chose the cheapest way out, and one that is
just as effective when we get down to the bot
tom of the thing.
.The Rutlierfordtoii News says: "The tax
question has never been settled to (he satisfac
tion of all concerned, and never will. It is one
of the 'inherited rights' or the American people
to 'cuss' about taxes. If the levey was only five
cents on each $100 of property valuation, some
would want it reduced."

TUESDAY'S ELECTION
On next Tuesday the citizens in the towns
of Haywood County, namely, Waynesville,
Hazelwood, Canton and Clyde, will elect their
city olficials for the next two years. Perhaps
there was never a time in the history of these
four towns when men with ability, character,
and civic pride was more sorely needed than at
the present time. The officials that are elected
Tuesday will have to solve problems that have
never before arisen, and for this reason only
men with the ability to head our town goverrn
rnents should be elected.
It is not for us to say which of the candi
dates are capable of running the different town
governments, but it is the duty of each voter
in these towns to decide, but not until they
have carefully considered each candidate and
his ability to (ill that office which he seeks.
When we cast our vote we shall consider
first the candidate's ability for fillintr the office.
Second we shall take into consideration his
character, and the standing he has in the com
munity. Third, we shall leave personal feelings
outside the booth and vote for the sake of the
community to the best of our ability.
Whether you shall use our method when
voting or not, remember, it is your duty to vote

The senior class play last Friday night
would have been a credit to a group of profes
sionals, to say nothing of high school students.
The brand of acting presented by those tak
ing part showed not only their talents, but that
weeks of practice had been given to producing
the play, and the best of directing.
If the first scene had been of a thunder
storm instead of the interior of an orphanage
the late comers in the audience would certainlv
have furnished the sound effect perfectly Prac
tically half of the first act was missed by those
sitting in the back-half of the auditorium be
cause of the cracking of the floor and the walk
ing of those in the balcony.
Because of the noise made by late comers
Friday night, it has been decided by school
authorities.that for the remainder of the grad
uation exercises the doors will be closed when
the program starts and those not getting there
before that time will have to wait until the
first intermission.
We are indeed glad that this move has
been made, and feel that' the people will coope
rate along this line. Certainly those that miss
ed part of the play Friday night because of the
jioise will appreciate the move by the school
officials.
It has been a practice here for some peo
ple to wait outside until the program begins
before going inside and then'1 disturbing all
those who got there on time. In the future
this will not be the case.
