FATHER'S DAY
According to the national calendar of
events, this nation will observe Father's Day,
this coming Sunday.
Father's Day has quite definitely taken a
secondary position with Mother's Day, and for
the most part, the day i.-s just another Sunday.
The average father of today has had to
make extreme sacrifices in order to properly
care for his family, yt the t"- f?thor never
grumbles or shirks this duty. Wo do n?t be
lieve the average father wants a lot f pomp
and ceremony praising him for sh'.u'danng his
burdens quietly.
We feel that the only compensation a real
father wants is respect from his children, and
to see each of them succeed in such a way as
to make him proud that he is their father.
THE OLD HOME TOWN
By STANLEY
A MOSES IS NEEDED
The hopes of having the $32,000 Armory
here completed by July 4th have faded into
thin air, as workmen have left the scene of
construction after boarding up the windows and
doors.
Two words tell the story of why work on
the Armory has ceased: "Funds Exhausted."
The Armory, which is a WPA project, will
cost $32,000 when completed. To date about
"28,5i',0 has been spent on the building, and
about $1,000 more is needed for its completion.
The story of the Armory to date might
tend to clear up any misunderstanding that
(jurrhaps now exists. WPA officials, in an effort
lo. start local projects, agreed to erect a regu
lation size Armory, with WPA providing $24,
000 if the town and county would obligate
themselves for the remaining $8,500. The
town of Waynesville was named as sponsor
of the project.
The county commissioners, which was the
board that went, out of office last December,
said the county would put up $1,250, provided
T.ht y could legally do so.
To make a long story short WPA spent
24,00O as their part and the town of Waynes
ville put over $4,250 into the building. After
his $28,250 was spent, the county was appro
ached for their $1,250. In the meantime, the
new board of commissioners had taken olfice

A GRAVE INJUSTICE
We are at a loss to understand what pos
sessed some newspapers and magazine writers
to continue to leave the impression with their
readers that all people living in the mountains
live in tumbled down cabins.
We are at a still greater loss to understand
why a daily newspaper that is usually prone
to over-rate conditions in this section, should
find it necessary to publish a picture and leng
thly article about people in this section living in
a cave. ,
""'"'
It is only far back in the remote sections
that one will find a "typical" mountain cabin.
We doubt if there are five people in all of West
ern North Carolina living in caves. Such things
as picturing typical cabins and the like to add
local coloring to articles is absurd. It is also
misleading.
Descriptive articles of New York City,
Washington or Chicago, do not use a slum scene
to illustrate their articles. It is usually the
tallest building, their skyline or a bird's eye
view of their city. There are people in any
larger city that are living in much worse con
ditions than anyone in this mountain section.
We are doing ourselves, and our citizens a '
grave injustice to continue to use such mis
leading pictures and illustrations.

A PUZZLING CASE
Dwight Beard, formei- North Carolina State
college grid star, paid with his life in the elec
tric chair at the Texas state prison, Huntsville,
Texas, for the hold-up and murder of a Texas
man. Heard had been convicted of a number
of serious crimes before, including the murder
of a merchant at V aldese, in this sjate. A death
sentence for that particular crime had been
commuted and Hoard escaped from the North
Carolina state prison while serving a life sen
tence, .';''
Alter escaping from prison Heard staged'
m'uiy daring holdups and was Hot adverse to:
taking life in his escapades, lie was deliant of
the law and of death.. V He maintained uiili! a
few hours before his life was ''smiiTed.' ,'nut".
Now that man was nerfectlv sin
cere in thinkins that the picture wa
untolded or unwound at the .screen.
After thinking the incident over, I
decided that but few people really
know what it takes to produce talk
ing pictures on the screen. So,
through the courtesy v( Jim Massie
and Operator Kvans. I Was shown
through the projection room.

m a fireproof, building and that is one reason
why the Armoiy project was approved.
Besides the valuable equipment, the local
init of the home guards brings into this com--nunity
a ca.sh payroll of about $0,000 each year.
What all concerned are now most interest
ed in is finding a Moses to lead the way to se
curing $1,250 with which to complete the
Armory which will be a creditable building to
the entire county.
The foregoing facts are identical with the
Armory in Canton. The same arrangements
weTe made with the county for the Canton
Armory, and the same facts were found. As
soon as the Canton officials learned of the in
ability of the commissioners to come across
with $4,250 they provided means of raising the
money, and the Canton Armory is new well on
the way towards completion.
It might be well her to state r.h.if th Ar.
mory can be used for community functions, as
long as ' they do not interfere with military
operations. At present the building would be
used only one night a week by the home guards.
Certainly there is some way that the build
ing can be finished, and not have to remain
Iboarded up so short of its completion.
Isn't there among us, a Moses, who can
lead the community to a way of seeing this
building completed?

had committed. ;
We have no doubt that justice was meted
out in this particular ca-e, nor that society is
rot betttr off and safer now that the career of
this public enemy has been ended. The as
tounding and pathetic phase of the case is that
a young man with the advantages which sur
rounded Heard in his youth would follow the
course which he chose. Coming from a once
proud and well-to-do North Carolina family,
well educated and later working as an instruc
tor in a Y. M. C. A. camp, it is hard to con
ceive of how he could become so degenerated.
Prior to his death, Beard branded crime as "the
biggest paying racket." His pay-off was death.

TO MAKE PEOPLE LIKE YOU
Do you know the six "sure fire" Ways to
make people like you ? Here is a summary of
Dale Carnegie's rules from his best seller, "How
to Win Friends and Influence People."
1. Become genuinely interested in other
people.
2. Smile.
3. Remember that a man's name is to
him the sweetest and most important sound
in the English language.
4. Be a good listener. Encourage others
to talk about themselves1.
5. Talk in terms of the other man's in
. terest. .
6. Make the other person feel important
and do it sincerely. Morganton News-Herald.
