I P TO THE FARMERS Tlii- next few weeks will letermine wheth er Hi- p.ot lay wood Farmers will take advantage !' tliei. (;ip,i'tuiiity to co-oi.2rate with the TVA'" ('.inner at Ha.elwood, or whether the cannery oilicials will go to adjoining counties for the crops which they need to can. It is a serious situation. The TVAC wants .7UD acres for the coming .year, which will mean between $1 0,000 and $20,000 paid in cash to Haywood farmers, but unless a more co-operative spiri: is shown on the part of. farmers, it -vill he necessary that tht . crops be brought in from other places. Last year the cannery' got underway after most crops had bt t-n planted? but plenty of time is being allowed this year and farmers will not have any exci se for n it doing their part. It is a known fact that five other communL ties are fighting hard to get the cannery . that is now located at Hazelwt rid, and it is also a known fact that TVAC will not waste time in any community where co-operation is not re ceived. As far as can be learned atithoritively. the bu men of the county are doing their part in assisting the .TVAC officials, but the farm ers, whom the . whole project was set up for, seem to be falling dewn on the job. MOKE PATROLMEN NEEDED Since the number of deaths by accidents on the highway "of. North Carolina is steadily increasing a. number of suggestions have been made which would tend to cut down on the number of deaths. . One d ecent suggestion was that the manu facain. -rs of cars should hold the speed of the cars down to lo miles an hour. : Just oil hand that suggestion" might sound reasonable, but it won't work.-. Just, to cut down on speed would 'not assure careful, sn'oer drivers ; and a drunken driver under the wheel of-a car going 20 miles an hour is more dangerous than a sober driver going 60 miles an hour. We maintain that the solution to the whole problem is not to change the cars, but to main tain an efficient force of highway patrolmen that would show those inclined to speed or drive while drunk that the jail is the place for such persons, and not state highways. Our present force of highway patrolmen is by far toe small to be as effective as it should. A GOOD INVESTMENT The bill that is now pending in the legis lature to supplement the salary of school bus drivers . n order that adults may be employed, is one of the most essential neeus of the county today. . . .;. ' It seems that for a few dollars saved the state school officials have put a lew; price on the lives of school children by insisting that stu dents drive the schoo1 busses, because they can do it cheaper. 1 The school board officials are 'to be congratu lated for stepping out and asking for the power to spend a few more dollars With which to pro tect the school children. . c MORE PRESSURE NEEDED It seems that the nearer we approach the summer season the more the sidewalks are covered with tobacco juice. Just why it is that the tobacco chewers haven's the extra force to get the juice to the curb is beyond us. Perhaps what they need is to learn the old method of spitting through their fingers, which would give the added pres sure to get the juice in the street. THE COST OF LICENSE TAGS Of the hundreds of bills that will be intro duced in the General Assembly this year, we believe that the one reducing the cost of license tags will be of more interest to the majority of people than any ot.ier. Just what the legislature intends doing about it is not exactly known, but it is hardly probable that a drastic reduction will be made; and in the event that no reduction is made the people should realize now just what that will mean to them. If the price of tags are kept the same it will mean that approximately $r00,000 will be spent on road construction in Haywood counv within the next year, whereas if the tag price is reduced there will be no road construction, and the motorists will have saved only about $5.01)1). In the smaller counties it is the plan of the highway commission to spend as much as .?200,000 for roads proided the price of tags remains the same. The savings to motorisi s in the same county would only be $2,000. Frank W. Miller, member of the state highway commission, told this paper that it was now taking ten millions each year for the payment of bonds and interest and another like amount for maintainence .f prison camps pnd road maintainence. The three and a half mil lion of the twenty three and a half million which is the highway commission's income, is for the greater part derived from license tags, and if this be cut off all road construction will stop, and the offer of the Federal government to put up a dollar for each dollar the state puts up foi road construction will also be lost, In other words, to reduce the present price of tag's will do away with a seven million dollar road construction program and automatically turn down a three and a half million offer from the Federal governmet. This would hurt the smaller counties worse than the larger ones because the larger coun ties already have ample highway facilities, and the larger counties are fighting for a cut in license tags because they are not willing to help pay for roads in the small counties, although the small counties helped pay for the roads thnt counties like Wayne, Forsythe and others arc now enjoying. We can't get a cut in license tags and also have the roads built that are. essential to this area adjoining the park, and certainly there is' no one who would be willing for this area I o go undeveloped in the w;iy of roads. A GAME THAT IS MORE THAN A GAME Scouting was devised as a game and is car ried out in the spirit of a game, something that every .'.boy enjoys-with 'all his heart and is at tracted to from the minute he looks into it. But it is much more than a game. Underneath its program of knot tying and signaling and first aid and nature study-; and. camping: 'and hiking are. character values of sterling worth. Thoroughness, trustworthiness, resource fulnes,,, courage, keen observation, habits of good health, the practice of helpfulness and courtesy to others under all conditions, the self-confidence that is not arrogant but knows that .it knows, knows, that it can these are fundamentals of Scouting. With its February birthday, Scouting in America celebrates its Silver Anniversary, a record of a quarter century of amazing progress of significant social values, of character train ing not by abstract teaching, but by actual life experience. During these twenty-five years G.530,330 boys have grown up under the aegis of Scouting, in all its branches. .Many of them are now' full-fledged citizens playing, their part in the great game of adult living, playing it as they played Scouting, loyally, finely, helpfully, responsibly, cheerfully. America is the better for them and should pause and remember now and then during this 1935 Silver Jubilee of the Boy Scouts of America, that Scouting and Boy Scouts are things to be thoroughly jubilant over, to be proud of and grateful to and for.

CLOTHING For Men and Boys C. E. Ray's Sons A COMPLETE CLOTHING SERVICE Most anybody is ready: to economize in 1937. Looking ahead is all right but there is such a thing as looking so far. ahead as to miss see ing what is here today. Now that 1935 is underlay it might pay the individual to carry out the good, resolutions that were made for 1931. Farmers may not have raised as much crops in 1934 as before but they got more money and that is what they need most of all. Correct this sentence: "I simply refuse to borrow my neighbor's newspaper; it is my pleasure to pay my own subscription and sup port the publisher." And as fr Papa Sloan he's still facing the. cold. weather winds without a hat. (t lea-red that an eight and a half hat h.is been ordered for him.. Two, visitors went out in the Cata loochree section recently and met an old farmer who looked as if he had missed the greater part of the necessities of life, so one of the visitors said: "Say, stranger, you folk? out here don't have the necessities of life, do you?" The Catalooc.hee man said- . ..Well.' T don't reekpn We does,; and. when we get it the stuff; ain't fit to drink." Two men were discussing a third man who is generally known as a hot air artist. The f.r.-t man said: ",'Wliv if that man even ate steak he would be a cannibal." Solicitor John . Queen has about as much wit as anyone, He referred to a couple kissing as swapping slobber.
