Tim human interest in the story was naturally catching, and appeal ing, yet I here was something pat hetic about the natter Hut why think so much about the States-' ville event, when -.right here in Haywood Coun ty, there is a wiinian, ;7-years-ld, who is the mother of l." children, living back about nin'! miles from a road ."5 miles from Waynesville who has never been in a town in her life. The smallest child was recently brought, y the father, to the doctor, who found it to be under-nourished to the extent that it's color was more green than pale. The Haywood woman is a native of the I!ig Bend section, and has spent her entire 37 years within that section. But to get back to the Statcsville case, the paper there went into detail in the following manner: "One never knows what a (lay will bring forth in the way of surprises in a newspaper office. Start oil' placid and even as you please and oftentime before noon there'll be the big gest jolt of the year right out of a clear sky. Saturday morning, for instance, Mrs. J. A. Tearing, route li, 58 years old, came in and in the calmest, most matter-of-fact sort of way; announced the arrival of her first great grand child, a girl born Tuesday, June I, to Mr, and Mrs. Brady Byers. Then continuing the con versation relative to children, families and the general possibilities of life she remarked on her own baby of four months and said she wonder ed if there were many in our country who had four months old babies and great grandchildren all at the same time. We didn't get our breath r collect our wits in time to assure her that as far as we know or ctn imagine she is in a class to herself, has in fact hung up a record, we'd say, about equal to the quints of Canadian fame. Incidentally Mrs. Byers wants Mr. Chal Sharpe to note this great grandchild of hers and she just 58 awhile back she recalls he was boast ing his own great grandfatherhood at 59 and betting lie was the youngest in these parts." And to s-.iy the least, its just pathetic, that's all. News from South Carolina, Georgia . and other states are that the weather is ''swelter ing," all of which should bring forth smiles from the hotel people. Plans are being made for the Haywood County Fair almost four months ahead of the fair date. This not only gives time to work out the details of the business end of the event, but enables the housewives to put up a few cans of vegetables and fruits just for "show" at the fair,.,, At this time of year we are always re minded of the advice offered by a professor on the last day of school: "Eat light meals; wear light, loose clothing and by no means worry." The advice is good in every respect so few can refrain from worrying, or think they can't. TIME TO TALK HIGHWAY 281 AGAIN The directors of the Brevard Chamber of Commerce spent much time last week discus sing the completion of Highway 284 Brevard to Waynesville and according to The Transyl vania Times, the suggestion was made that the entire community contact Chairman Waynick of the highway commission and "present Tran sylvania's just claim in the matter." It seems that the Brevard Chamber of Commerce has been doing the same as Waynes ville's often discussing the matter at length and finding out each time the great need of completing the highway, which passes through the picturesque Pisgah National Forest. We are aware of the fact that the two towns are doing everything they feel justified in doing towards interesting the Highway offi cials in-pushing the work to completion, but we are of the opinion that with a group on each side of the mountain working after the same thing it is rather a big undertaking. If a combi nation of forces from the two towns should jointly contact the Highway commission, the impression would be much greater than the manner in which it is now being done. We might even go farther than that, by suggesting a gathering of the two towns in the form of a banquet, dinner, picnic or barbecue and have the commission present and show them first hand on the grounds the need of the road rather than resorting to pointing out the route on a map with a cane pointer. Not only would this impress the High way Commission, but it would create a friendlier feeling between Brevard and Waynesville that are working for a common project. The need of the road to Brevard cannot be over-valued, in our opinion and any trouble and expense the two towns go to in getting the road through will be money well invested, How times have changed in two years. In the fall of HKJ2 the headlines read: "State Votes Dry, 2 to 1." In this week's papers the head lines carry the news that two eastern North Carolina counties voted wet ten to one. Our idea of the perfect hostess is one who when serving fried chicken and roasting ears says: "Now I want you 'to act just as though you were at home." It would be interesting to know all the names that were called the man who double parked on Main Street Saturday night and held up two blocks of traffic. The park on East Street is being used daily by scores of children, and several visitors have already used it as a camping ground. As the park is pushed on to completion it will serve as a drawing card for more children, and we've always been of the opinion that to please the children was the best way to satisfy their parents. Cornfield Philosophy SNAP-JUDGMENT I do not know the origin of the term "Snap Judgment," but have thought it might have originated in the mind of someone who had watched turtles snap. But the turtle will let go his hold if his instinct tells him he's made a mistake. In this respect the turtle's instinct serves him better than some men's reasoning V -Wen Who are inclined to take snap-judgment will often hold on after they sec "they are in error. "Nothing but foolishness," some folks said as they passed by Albert McCracken's farm and looked over on; the hill at his "ditches". . .right while the terracing was being done. A plain case of taking snap-judgment. Some problems can be solved by reasoning while others require the test of time. Reason is undoubtedly on the : side of terracing even in this country. But aside from air this, snap-judgment is hasty and immature, the judgment of minds made up before the evidence is all in. . . that is why the courts guard against it in the selec tion of jurors. It is also the judgment of the mob. . .it often persecutes, condemns and tor tures ; and is, therefore, a thing to be feared. "FIGURED," "CUTE" AND "AWFUL" Of all the abused and over-used Words I think "figured" tops the list, followed closely bv the words "awful" and "cute." "I figured that these two chickens matched yours best." I over heard a man say last week, and I didn't know before that it was possible to figure out the color of chickens, "Cute" came; into use nearly a generation ago. Back then folks were awakened for break fast by a "cute" bell, had a "cute" cake of corn bread for dinner and read a "cute" story before retiring. The story is told of a girl who on seeing a powerful locomotive pull up at the 'sta tion, remarked, "Oh, how cute!" We often hear the expression that brother so-and-so preached an "awful" sermon, mean ing, of course, that the sermon was a powerful or strong one. But "awful" as applied to many sermons would be correctly used if coupled with other qualifying words, like awf uj tiresome etc Then its "awful sorry," "awful kind" (think of being awful kind) and even "awful cute." 41 jn 51 Ifl-WiSlfc-u-"" Mil 3 L HAYWOOD Random SIDE GLANCES By W.

Many had Drought their weekly saving for the rainy day that lies ahead of every one. On the day which the bank closed many of them came to see if the reports were really true. They read the brief notice upon the door of the institution that told of its closing. Some turned aside with hearts fille'l with bitternes.5, some with sadness, some with dispair. It was difficult to realize that everything had been lost and they were back again at the starting point. The depression has brought a similar misfortune to many. The investments which in many instances represented the sav ings of a life time, the denial of the keen desire of youth, are gone. Their value has either been swept entirely away or greatly reduced. The prob lem now is not so much . what the salvage of the investments will be, as it is what the salvage of human courage will be, Those who have lost their possessions and savings have sulfeied a real loss but those who have lost their courage and their grip on things have sulfeied a much more tragic loss. How tragic it is de pends on the coinage one can. sum mon to meet it and lay his plans anew. In such a time it is well to remember that there is no strength to be found in grieving fo,- the past. Courage, and hope, and rehabilitation lie ahead and nowhere else. VI C;y3t: ::'.L-rUi'' i r rom thu Mrs. W. II. UoJa Monday in town w: Miss Jennie Ray Asheville shoppj,,.
