Conflicting re ports, strict censorships, and a vast difference of opinion, makes it impossible to foretell now just what might happen.. And while watching every move of the na tions involved in the European turmoil, we Americans have a problem right here at home that might prove more serious than first thought would suggest the pending rail strike, which is also .scheduled to take place on Saturday.. It looks like Saturday will be an important day in history, and while the rest of the world is neck-deep in trouble, we look for the annual coal bill t ) roll in, and add to ours. GAINING IN POPULARITY The feature, "Voice of The People" is grow ing in popularity, and The Mountaineer is re ceiving praise from all sides for adding the col umn to the paper. The answers to the questions have been on a high plane, and shows that the people of this county are "on their toes" and ready with sen sible answers, and when needed, they have constructed criticism to offer. Sometimes it is as hard to ask questions that will be popular with all readers as it is to answer them, and We will appreciate suggested questions. Through the feature we are getting a good cross section of opinion, and so far we have been pleased with the sincere answers, G() AHEAD SIGNAL GIVEN LAKE To again editorialize the removal of sewage from Richland Creek in these columns, would almost demand a repetition of what was said before the diction. Now that the voters have settled the mat ter, we can look With assurance to a brighter future for Lake Junaluska, -Which- means an ultimate increase in profitable business for all cf the county. Just how far the Assembly plans to go towards enlarging and improving the grounds has not been ascertained, but we do feel that they are aware that Waynesville and Hazel wood are supporting them to the fullest. The result of the vote of the bond election in the two towns should be the "go ahead" sig nal for the assembly to become larger and more influential than ever. It is to that end, that this community is doing their part. FIRE HAZARDS IN SCHOOLS It is far from good news to learn at a meet ing of the Haywood teachers, that fire hazards in schools in North Carolina has come to the point of being termed "grave." The only encouraging point we see in this news, is that the teachers and authorities are aware and realize the "graveness" of the situa tion, and while this within itself, is sorr. "vhat satisfying, in that they will keep a vir0a eye for a blaze, it is not enough. I lay wood can boast of new, buildings at Canton, Bethel, Crabtree, Rock Hill, Waynesville and an almost new building at Fines Creek, and one under construction at Hazelwood, which puts the county buildings, on an average, in fair con dition; yet there remain other buildings that give cause for concern. DISSATISFACTION The order of the day seems to be "worry." Last week a vacationing Florida fruit grower, was lamenting the bumper crop of over ten mil lion boxes worry if. the crop is good, or worry if it is bad, truly we are a dissatisfied people. A CAMPAIGNLESS ELECTION In Haywood County, it is hard to realize that the general election is only six weeks away. Now if it were six weeks before a primary, the campaigning would be terrific. About the only activity that will be noted in Haywood, accord ing to best political observers will be getting voters out for the new registration, which has been called before the general election. The general "cussing" of the absentee bal lot adds the only steam to the campaign. FORECASTING UNUSUAL STORMS Mountaineers as a rule, are not familiar with tropical storms, which play havoc along the coast, and it is hard to realize just what a ninety-mile-an-hour wind is like. Those of us nestled in these 'hills, are per haps not as appreciative of the weather bureau as we should. It is true that we do not have occasion to use it as often as our coastal neigh bors, except for the forcast of blizzards, but we shuold realize that important phase of ser vice rendered by our government. The recent storm that swept New England, taking GOO livesl and doing damages reaching into the untold millions, is listed by't'he weather bureau as "unusual," and one of three of its kind in fifty years in that it gathered "speed" the farther away it got from the starting point. In spite of this unusual storm, the weath er bureau was able to issue warnings 20 hours ahead of the storm. The warnings saved many lives, and gave shippers time to get some boats into harbor. While the weather bureau is at a loss to explain the origin of the unusual nature of the storm, credit is due them for being on the job. DUAL IMPROVEMENTS For the first time in six years, a Waynes ville man went to the high school athletic field last Friday to see a football game, and he was so surprised at the vast improvements, that he felt ill at ease all afternoon for not keeping up with local building projects more closely. The new junior high building, the new and enlarged stadium, and more than doubling the athletic field makes the whole place resemble a small college. While the physical improvements have been pus'hed forward at a rapid pace, we find from the records, that the scholastic work done by the students is in keeping With the physical advancements. And that makes a happy end ing to a progressive story. BEAUTY CONTEST WINNERS Most girls have an idea that Winning a beauty contest will launch them on a glamorous stage or screen career, but from a recent sur vey, it is revealed that few of them benefit from the honors of being adjudged beauty queens. From a list of six "Miss Americas," and that is the highest title a beauty can hope to attain, as such, it is found that five are married, the other engaged. Five are housewives, one a school teacher. Collectively, they have had two divorces and three children, and one former queen puts it that the title has made no appre ciable difference in her life. "lis hard for one to remain on such a flimsy pinacle When constructed of only skin-deep beauty. JAI.ALAI Except for a few minor changes in rules, the average game that appeals to American sportsmen has not been changed in the past 20 years. It is true, that methods of play have seen some drastic changes, but the principles and object of the games remain the same, Feeling a need for an injection of . some thing "new" there has been organized this year, football teams that will put six men on the field instead of eleven. Just how this new lineup will appeal to sport fans has not been determined. During the past month, a Cuban game, "Jai Alai" has been introduced in New York, and is thrilling thousands of fans. It is rated as the fastest of all games. It is played by scooping the ball in mid-air . with a shallow wicker basket and hurling it against the walls of a long concrete court. Doubles or singles can oe played, like in tennis, and the. ball travels at 100 miles an hour. The game is played in many of the South American countries, and has met with such favor in New York that $100,000 was spent in the erection of one court. Topnotch players get $2,000 a month, and undergo rigid physical examinations before each game. While the world is crying for more games, we are still of the opinion that football and baseball will be played as long as any of us who enjoy them now will care to attend. We Americans would do well to learn to apply the meaning of being consistent. Here we yell ourselves hoarse over taxes, and turn right around and expect more favors from the government.

SAM COX STORY 1 The next day after Sallie Cat scratched Blackie up so badly, he felt so sore that he decided to try to get himself an easy dinner. Mr. Man lived not very far from Blaekie's house, and Jay Bird had told Blackie that there were a lot of little lambs over there in the field. Blackie knew that a lamb couldn't . fight, and besides, he liked lamb almost as well as kiltie meat, and so he started for Mr. Man's field. When he got most to the field, he hid behind some bushes and peeped out to see if he could see the flock 'of sheep. Just then a great big rabbit jumped up and went scooting towards the field. A rabbit can run lots faster than a bear, but that rabbit caught his foot in a wild potato vine and turned a somersault, and before he could get on his feet again Blackie caught him. He was a big fat rabbit, and when Blackie had eaten him all up he was so full that he didn't want any lamb, so he scratched up a pile of straw and leaves for a bed and laid down for a nap. Blackie's sore nose had bothered him so last night that he hadn't slept much, and, besides, he had been too hungry to sleep. But Doctor Coon had come over again that morning and put a new plaster on his nose, and so, now that he had had a good dinner, he felt very much like sleep ing, and he slept mighty hard. I don't know how long he had been asleep, but when he woke up the first thing he saw scared him most to death. There stood looking down at him Ram Sheep, the daddy of the little lambs out in the field, and he had long horns that curled all annul like a corkscrew, and were so sharp at the points that they could stick in a tree. Blackie knew that there was trouble for him, and he didn't know how to get away from it. A sheep can't climb a tree, but a bear can, and Blackie thought if he just could get to a tree he could get away from those terrible horns. Just then Ram Sheep heard one of his baby sheep cry, "Ba-a-a-a, Ba-a-a-a," and he turned to see what was the matter. When ho turned his head Blackie jumped for a tree, and before Ram Sheep could move Blackie was away up the tree and out of reach of the horns. But he really needn t to have hurried, for Mf He hath g!Va that setteth n blamings. Th.:: All lovely O.: in lovliness ug.i: Faith is taki'n I. H. Evans.

While Ram Sheep was running to his baby, Blackie was getting down from the tree and running for his own house. When he got home Jay Bird was just sitting down on his step, and he said: "Hello, Blackie, how do you like Mr. Ram Sheep?" "What do you know about Ram Sheep?" asked Blackie.

T J NBELIEVABLE as it sounds to us today, it was once the prac tice of men to wipe their noses on their coatsleeves. One day a king, on reviewing his troops was offend ed at the sight and conceived the idea of sewing buttons on the sleeves of his soldiers uniforms at the point where it was lifted to the nose. It cured the soldiers of the practice, they developed the habit of carrying nose cloths about with them and the people of the kingdom took it up. Handkerchiefs were" established as a hygienic necessity but the prac tice of buttons on the sleeves was never dropped.
