TIME FOR ACTION We do not believe we would be going to the extreme to term the matter of getting a loan for the construction of a sewer line from Hazelwood to Pigeon River below Lake Juna luska, as serious. It is ""serious" from several angles. Never before in the history of the country has the federal government made such offers to towns in the ways of loans and out-right grants as they are doing under PWA. The fact is, forty five per cent of the loans are straight grants. The other fifty-five per cent on "easy terms." This opportunity won't be available long. There is another serious point in the mat ter It is generally understood, and taken for granted, that sooner or later the sewer line will have to be built, and those who are famil iar with work of this nature state that post poning will not reduce the cost. If Waynesville and Hazelwood are forced to the point of having to borrow the money through regular channels after the PWA has expired, it will mean a heavy burden. on both towns. Under the present plan, however, the proposed tax of about eig'ut cents per 1,000 gallons of water consumed would make it reas onably easy for the residents. The officials have worked hard and lng in trying to get the loan approved, but thus far the average citizen has taken but little or no interest whatever in the matter. And as James Atkins, Jr., said last week, "pressure should be brought to bear at once to get the loan." Concerted effort is being made On the pait of state officials to get more loans through for the state, and right now is the time for both Waynesville. and Hazelwood to let it be known in no uncertain terms what is needed and want ed regarding the sewer line. HOY PROBLEMS GROW I P To most men, a boy is one of the most in teresting things on earth- No two are alike. To one, the desci lotion "a noise with dirt on it", may apply. Another will be shy and serious with conflicting idea; struggling for expres sion in action- Wise i..!ults understand this, for they know that the growing period of. a, yr o r aster is above all a time of adjustments to (-!i-:'u;t!y expanding social and physical en- . vironrrir-rtt. . l'"!'- I "v- grow up. and so do thcrv prob- ; lems. You: ;- r have had an especially diffi cult: time in mstkjng their adjustments : in the past five years, for the conditions about them with which they would come to terms have themselves been shifting. Uncertainty in the world has hyper-complicated the task of "get ting: set" faced by youth in the late teens and twenties. The Ilotarian Magazine. : In North Carolina there are hundreds Of bare banks where the road has been cut through a hill that causes no end of trouble, in that the rains wash down the soil and fill the drains. On Highway No. 209, such a bank was planted in kuduza, a running vine, that not only pre vents erosion but also adds to the looks of the bare, rain-washed bank. Prior to planting the kuduza, highway workers were forced to clean the drain ditch every three months of two truck loads of dirt. The kuduza vine needs no attention what-so-ever. Only the first planting. BOTH C6WARDLY ACTS Huey P. Long is dead. His assassin is also dead. Both expected death. Long had prepared for it weeks and even months ago. His assas sin could hardly expect anything else but death with Long's half-dozen armed body guards on hand. 1 The circumstances under which Long was shot were cowardly so was the way in which his assassin was pelted with lead sixty-one in all it seems that after the man had fallen face forward on the floor dead that it was more than cowardly for Long's body guards to stand over him and continue shooting Certainly public sentiment would never ap prove of a man shooting another as Long was shot, neither do we believe that the people of the United States will be satisfied to let the fact go without an accounting of the manner in which the assassin was made into a sieve. TLME TO BUY A FARM? Is this the time to buy a farm? That question has been asked in this neighborhood many times recently. For some time it has looked as though a man couldn't go wrong buy ing a farm at present prices and although prices for farm lands have gone up in the past two years good land still looks mighty attrac tive. It is always better to buy when prices are going up than when they are coming down.. A lot of city people have come to the conclus ion that the farm is a mighty solid place in which to have some of their money invested, instead of trying to make it pyramid in the stock market. Our answer to the question: "Is this the time to buy a farm?" is "No" if you are buying for speculation and quick rise. But if you want a good, safe investment the answer is "Yes," Good land at present prices, managed intelligently, should bring a good re turn on the money and at the same time grad ually increase in value. -Mooresville Enterprise. "WELL TRAINED SERVANT" Ads are most polite, points out the West side (Ga.) Journal. "Newspaper advertising does not shout at you when you are trying to concentrate on something else; it doesn't ob scure and mar the landscape; it doesn't inter rupt your enjoyment of a good grand opera pro gram; it doesn't clutter up your mail and waste basket; it doesn't make you turn to page 37 and then shuffle through 18 more pages to finish the story; it doesn't clutter up your front yard or obtrude itself onto the Seat of your motor car on Saturday evening. Newspaper adver tising' 7s' like a well-trained sen-ant never in truding or making itself obnoxious, but always quietly at hand ready to give service when called upon." Morganton News-Herald. In 1932, Haywood County ranked 27th in the state in the number of Federal income tax returns made. This ranking showed that one person in every 165 filed a return, making a total of 171 returns sent in. That was back in 1932 today's history would be better. Sunday will mark the opening of the hunt ing season, and a timely warning is never out of place. Extra caution should be taken, espec ially for the first few days, when anxious hunt ers are in a hurry to get their best shots in. Each year, scores are killed during the hunting season and in almost every instance, if a little more care had been taken, the tradegy i-nnki have beta tu.. vented The l esignation of Lamar Stringfield, . for the past five years director of the North Ca.ro . I'm'. Symphony orchestra, is a heavy loss to music lovers of the state. His work was a success from every stand point, in that he was instilling in North Carolinian- a love for a type of music that hereto fore had been neglected. Cornfield Philosophy t.r.TTiM; oi T or Tin: oi.n kits r.usiness is about normal as.iin. '"Statistics..- show' that retail trade in all lines is about 'the. average.. tJahk' .' clearinss are much better, factories are -running" with vvaL.es fair to good, cattle and sheep are bringing--fair .' pib ps. the hog.

J Yes. t hi ruts are about normal again; a man does not have to hypnotize himself into belie veing- it is ap .parent on every hand. lint the point 1 wanted to stress is the fact that many folks don't seem to know that conditions have improved wonderfully within the last two years. They had gotten so much in the habit of talking hard times, criticising and complaining that they're now in the grouch's rut and can't get but. ToU see, its possible for a man to get so deep in the grouch's rut, or any rut. that he can't get out, ': .Just like getting into deep wagon ruts or automobile ruts on bad muddy rnads. So. today, there are folks following right along in the ruts of 1930-33 just the same as if they really existed.; A person who pretends to "drive" in this life should have sense enough to see when and where the roads are made better and pull themselves out of the old ruts. ' - lSEPTEMBER. I2 19? Random SIDE GLANCES By W, CURTIS RUSS Since last week, several have come forth with suggestions for other "Ought to be against the law" ideas. One of th- ones that hit me hardest, being, "It ought to be against the law to eat raw oystnrs in public." And ever since the man walked out f the fnfe last fall, leaving his entire filmier, when I began eating a dish of raw oysters. I've tried to make eertain tlmt I never onVnd anyone else in that maimer.

One of the tallest girls in the county was continually poking fun at one of her co-workers, who happened to be one of the shortest men in this sec tion. He took it about as long as he felt justified, then told her: "If you don't shut up, I'm going t i get a step ladder and come up there and slap hell out of you." She was quiet, thereafter.

LIVING, A HIGH ADVENTURE Caidtr.a. iN'ewnjais or.ee said: "Fear net tha: i;fe .-hal. hive an end, but rather tnat it shall have a beginning'." How ouen have we en men and women who a e go.ng ;n rough life and getting very iiule from it. They merely ' skim tr.e surface and never experience the Sner and be:ter things '.: might give them. They move about in a narrow little ciicle or walk back and forth in a beaten track from morning until night, from one week's end to the other, year after year. How often we find these same people haunted by fears that this or that will happen. Life holds little promise and no adventure to them. Instead of fearing that their life would end they, should be deeply concerned that it has never really begun. The life that merely lived as the animals live. Sustaining itself from day to day, supplying its physical and material wants and at night seeking its re pose, has not begun to live. It takes high courage to venture out in un tried depths, to open the mind and heart'-' and - sou', to new experiences, new contacts new scenes. It takes t'ouraere to be a nioneer. It takes courage to keen an open mind. It takes eou"?ge to live one's convic tions. But no where js courage so richly rewarded a in living. Life can be little and drab and dull and narrow anil contracted and uninter esting or it can be full and complete and challenging. It is up to us and us alone. Truly the fear should be in the heart of every one not that irfe shall have an end, but rather that it shall have no beginning. 24 Years AgJ in HAYWOOD .
