THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1935 A DEBT YOU OWE TO YOURSELF AND COMMUNITY After postponing the meeting for one week, a more elaborate program for the annual Chamber of Commerce banquet has been ar ranged. Tickets are now on sale, and all indi cations are that a record-breaking crowd will be in attendance next Tuesday night at the Mas onic Temple, at 7 ::() o'clock. President Ray has been working day and night With the different committees of the or ganization, and the best program in years will be presented at the banquet. The committees are already a; work and many have gone right ahead with their respective jobs even at this early date.. The, meeting Tuesday night, is one of the most important affairs scheduled for this com nnmity this year. The success of the meeting will -determine to a large degree the accomplish ments this season. We say that, for this reason It will be hard to give our best to the organiza tion unless we are familiar with the entire 1935 program. 1 1 might be said here Jim the ntire pro gram of the organization is not devoted entire ly to the tourist business. no indeed,, there are right now several other major matters claiming the attention of the officials of the or ganization all of which are of vital importance to the entire community. You owe it to yourself and to your com munity to be present at the banquet next Tues dayMasonic Temple 7:30 o'clock. FORGET ABOUT LIQUOR So far as we, personally, are concerned we're going to forget about the situation per taining in North Carolina with respect to liquor. We've made ( the statement before and we'll probably make it again that we are thoroughly fed up with all this argument and fuss about prohibition. Sentiment apparently is divided, and the chances are that it always will be. Oik- thing abs lutely certain is that every body .who. wants, to-drink. liquor in North Caro lina is going to do so regardless of what re strictions there may be against it. If the Drys can't see that, then they're foolish. Another thing that is equally certain is that if the pro position is left to a vote of the people, a majority of the voters will continue to vote dry. If the Wets can't see that, then they are equally blind and equally foolish. We've got "dry "laws on our statute books. We've got as much liquor as we want. We've got everything except revenue; and revenue after all, is of secondary considera tion. What the Drys want is a law, and what the Wets want is liquor. They've got what they've been clamoring for. There's no reason why everybody shouldn't be happy, so let's forget about changes in our prohibition laws. The State. A GREAT NEED The town of Sylva has launched out on a program that Waynesville-IIazelwood would do well to follow they are building a modern in cenerator. For years this community has had a dump ing ground for disposing garbage and trash. Some of this was burned out in the open. The officials take special pains to see that the streets are kept clean, but it seems that if there was some disposal plant where this trash and gar bage could be burned completely it would be much better. The officials have been talking and plan ning for such a place a long time, and even plans have been drawn, and it is our hope that their dreams will soon come true. A GREAT INFLUENCE IN OUR COMMUN ITY It has been our pleasure to visit a number of Sunday School Classes throughout the state, but we doubt if there are but few that surpass the Citizens Class, of which J. R. Morgan is teacher. It is not t!.e largest class in the state, but the interest shown is greater per member than in any we know. During the past few weeks the attendance has been around 45. A large ma jority of the members seldom attended u class prior to the organization oi the Citizens Class. Recently the class took it upon themselves to care for and help two blind men. They sup plied them with a radio and have done other acts of kindness for the men. A visit to the class will easily convince any one that the members are about as well ac quainted with the lesson and the facts of the Bible as any class. The influence of the class will be felt for a long time in this community. ' 1 f lL' NEVER! Seventy years ago last Tuesday Lee sur rendered at Appomattox, thereby virtually end ing the Civil War. For seventy years that is, for the full span of life as described by the Psalmist vete rans of the Confederate States Army have drawn not one cent in pensions from the gov ernment of the United States. The Confederate veteran fought for what he regarded as his country, just as the Union veteran did. He exhibited the same valor and devotion. He endured the same hardships and incurred the same risks. As a fighting man he made a record that is a glittering addition to American military history. l!ut of; all the men who have fought in American armies he alone has drawn never a dollar from the federal treasury. For several years he has kept this distinction. Today, though, it is threatened. The leader of those who were his foes, the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, 'has suggested federal pensions for Confederate veterans as evidence that the country is united once more. It is a graceful and gracious gesture on the part of the commander of the G. A. R., a ges- lure in Keeping witn uie generosity mat urani exhibited on the field of Appomattox. Never theless, we hope that the suggestion will not be adopted. Veterans who have survived for seventy years without taking anything from the treasury surely can go to the end of their lives free of pension money. Let the C. S. A. march into history with its record still intact. Baltimore Evening Sun. OWN WORST ENEMIES One reason prisoners are in chaingang camps is because they haven't the common sense to get their share of life's offerings with out breaking the rules of the game. For the same reason, perhaps, the Woodville prisoners hadn't judgment enough to remain passive while a kindly-disposed state was doing its level best to provide better treatment for them. The fellow with the buckshot under his skin gets little sympathy. If they had stopped to consider, these prisoners who attempted to engineer a whole sale prison break, they would have realized that beneath the wide-spread investigations two attitudes toward prisoners strive for mastery. One is a restoration of the old, out-right corp oral punishment, wherein the unruly are lashed on the bare back. The other is that in which a new, humane idea, confused and uncertain as to its own application but convinced it is dead right nevertheless, would give prisoners a bet ter chance both in camp and in later liberty. Such outbreaks as that in the Woodville camp serve only to discourage those who would help the prisoners. To show how easily we revert to the ele mental impulses in prison matters, the muti neers yesterday were officially whipped, despite a supposed state rule against that form of punishment. No one protests because it seemed well . justified. Nevertheless, the words of the late Chief Justice Walter Clark still hold good: Corporal punishment belongs to barbarism, not to civilization."

And regardless of what is said and be lieved, there are but few places in America that are more beautiful at this time of year than right here in Haywood. The cherry blossoms in Washington are worth seeing . The gardens in and around Charleston draw thousands each year. But the apple blossoms in Haywood, with the lofty mountains in the background, are tru ljj nature's best handiwork. Random SID E GLANCES By W.
