AT IUN fun w THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1941 Holy Week Appointments The entire state has been anxiously await ing the return of Governor Broughton from his vacation, lookin forward to the time when he will begin making his appointments. Probably never in the history of the state has any governor had so many offices at his disposal to give to the citizens. It is expected that the Governor will within a few days name the new highway commis r,t io members : the board of 15 of the De- partment of Conservation and Development, a commissioner of Kevenue; me nvmont romnensation commission, the state J , REA Board, and numerous other commis sions and boards that will be his privilege to name. Of special interest to Western North Caro lina is the appointment of the State Highway Commissioner from this district, and the state highway commission chairman. So far among those prominently mentioned for high way chairman is Ben Prince of Henderson ville, which apparently is meeting with the approval of this section. Ralph Ramsey, of Brevard, and former Sanntnr from this district, has been frequent ly mentioned as a member of the highway board. His record as senator and civic lead er in Transylvania, gives him an "OK" by the general public sentiment in this section. BRENNER PASS,-1941 N'-V: THURSDAY, APRJ Eyeing Tourists, Canada Explains Our Laws To Vs Voice OF THE People What did you think of the REA show staged in the Armory on Fri day and Saturday? The ministers of the community are ask ing that no one make a social engagement during Holy Week, but that everybody give their leisure to meditation of the significance of the week before "He arose from the dead," and take part in the services that are to be held each day by the various congregations. If there was ever a time in history when men and women need the comfort and coun sel that His guiding hand can give, it seems that in this year 1941, it is the greatest. In both peace and war Christianity has held the solutions of our problems, both as individ uals and as nations. Easter is the high peak in the true Christ ian's life, the season when we are brought face to face with our mortality, and our kin ship to God and to our Risen Christ. If we fail to cooperate with the ministers in their effort to have us drink deep into the spiritual meaning of the season we will miss the true spirit of Easter. "For God so loved the world that He gave .his only begotten Son, that whosoever be- lieveth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." ' Down through the centuries the supreme sacrifice of our Saviour has brought men to see the ways of righteousness and the divine significance of Easter has shown men the way out of darkness into light. Spring And Hitler Since Spring has become the season in which Hitler has made his most dramatic moves across the continent of Europe one cannot but wonder as time approaches what he has up his sleeve for 1941, in addition to making Bulgaria his own. As one writer has expressed it : "The sap of Empire rises in him. In March, 1936, he remilitarized the Rhineland. In March, 1938, he seized Austria. In March, 1939, he occu- :. pied Bohemia and Moravia, and grabbed Memel. In 1940 in April he took Denmark and Norway under his "protection." "He will act. Of that we may be certain. Perhaps the hour when his star will be in the ascendancy has been revealed by his astrologer. He will make startling news. Men, women and children will die because of what Springy the blossoming time, the season of the tenderness and hope, means to Hitler, and what he has made it mean to the Ger man nation. We have not long to wait." "But Hitler has not conquered Spring. No fifth column betrays the inexorable processes of nature. There will be another blossom ing season on which he will not trample. Al ready the plowshare is being forged and will turn his system under ; already on many an ' anvil of freedom, hammers ring, sparks fly, bright swords take shape and edge." Not What It Seemed The recently enacted legislation in regards to the sale of fortified wines seems to have aroused considerable confusion as to the proper interpretation of the law. One section of the bill sets July the 1st, as the effective date, and another section, May the 1st. The bill also states, which evidently an error, that only packages of a gallon or more may be transported from counties where it may be legally sold into counties where it is prohibited. The lowering of the alcoholic content to 14 per cent will in no wise remove the evil 1 and it-would seem that the bill as enacted from a prohibition standpoint is a decided Fothe present it looks as if the probable effect of the law will be to flood the market ' with 'a cheap variety of dangerous beverages. Mi Honrv Francis "I think the REA show was one of the grandest affairs we have ever had. it was fine for the people to see what olectricitv can do. and for the town people and the country folks to get together. I was glad to see so many electric irons go into tne country." Mm. J. F Toy "I think the show was a fine thing. It was edu cational and interesting especially to people who are having electricity in their home for the nrst time.

The bringing into the county for the past few years of purebred bulls is now beginning to show up in the higher standard and places Haywood cattle are taking in the shows in which they are exhibited. e It was reported by some of those attending iht show in Anderson last week that a re mark frequently heard from the farmers and county agents viewing the cattle at tne show was: "That must be a Haywood County Steer," and by that description one of a very high grade was designated. , The manner in which Haywood cattle sold on the South Carolina market and the prices n:iu show that the cattle industry is fast coming back in a county that can produce as fine a grade of livestock as can be raised any where in this country, s HERE and THERE HILDA WAY GWYN Progress greet us ... it was not long be fore he asked the preacher what the new model has it all over that of the minister ... the salesman mentioned an exchange . . we saw the "trading instinct" in the par son's eyes . . so we left . . .. thinking perhaps they Had rather finish the deal without us. .... . and particularly Haywood county . . which after rriday ana Saturday of last week ... we have decided is fast becoming ... not a county area in the old meaning . . , but one big community . . . . the distance between the rural sec tions and the towns is not only eettinir shorter by miles . . . but Alan in viewpoints i . . and in the living conditions or the people . . . more and more are we having things in common with each other more and more otten ao we meet to thrash out programs oi natural interest . the town peo ple are fast becoming more rural minded ... they are hankering ior th nrivileires of country life . . . and the rural folks are taking on the ways of the towns . . . their homes are being modernized . . . they are getting away from drudg ery ; , . of life without conven iences;. . . and yet they are accom plishing more than ever . . . and are enjoying all the good things that life on a farm can give. . . . loafor Rnrpin "I think that the show was both well displayed and conducted." Mrs. F. H. Marley "The REA hut oh a real display of electrical appliances, one to show the house wife how much easier her worn can be done with the aid of elec tricity and how it can bedone in less time and with less labor." Mrs. R. H. Blackwell "I thought the show a mighty fine idea, and the women were certainly interest ed in the electrical cooking units." Thpre was great satisfaction in the head lines of The Mountaineer last week to those i-psoonsiblfl for its publication. The news carried on the front page was not of things that perhaps will happen, but of actual iacis concerning developments of permanent value and interest to the people of this community. The fact that the Dayton Rubber plant is starting construction on its buildings is a defi nite thing of interest; that the Gordon Hotel ?. tn ho imnroved is uroof that others from outside have faith in this section ; the REA show is illustrative of the progressive rural of our county : the construction of the Soco Gap section of the great Blue Ridge Parkway means a tremendous boost in travel for Western North Carolina. We might continue into other news carried, but the foregoing is sufficient to show that Havwood County is definitely going forward and marching to the rhythm of a progressive tune. ': Another thought Mrs. Haines brought out was the fact that .De mocracy is illustrated in our coun trv hv the manner in which the government is willing to help poo nl whn are in earnest about help ing themselves . . . certainly no finer example could be found than the REA . . . lending the rural peo ple money to bring electricity to their homes . . . in an organized co-operative . . . and then giving them time to pay back the loan . . . and in the end the privilege of own ing the company ... such is Amer ican Demoracy The exhibits were excellent and were arranged in a manner worthy of a larger and more pre tentious affair . and the Prizes given away added a touch of ex citement as the hands of the clock moved around to the appointed hours . .

"Well, I hope they stage another show next year." T. L. Gyn "I think the REA demonstration at the Armory was a splendid success in every way. It was highly educational to both town and rural users of electricity, and the enthusiastic attendance of REA subscribers definitely shows that the trend toward moderniza-? tion of country life." Dogwood - State Flower North Carolina now has an official State flower the dogwood. A bill introduced in the legislature sought to name the flame nzaW a the State flower but public senti ment brought about a change and the dog wood was chosen in the closing hours of the legislature instead. The lecrislators acted wisely, in our opin ion when thev chose the dogwood. The flame azalea grows only in the mountains of the western cart of the state' but the dogwood whitens the forests from one end of the state to the other. Other states including adjoin ing Virginia have chosen the dogwood, but this fact does not make it any less desirable as the North Carolina state flower. In iust a few weeks this lovely flowering tree will be the talk of all who pass along our highways. We know of no other that blooms in such profusion in every section. bmith field Herald.

Frank M. Davis "I thought the show a wonderful success in that it gave the users of electricity a conception of what they should and can have if they take advan tage of the wonderful opportunity offered them in the REA. I con sider the REA to be perhaps the most forward step ever taKen in Haywood county." E. J. Hyatt "I thought the show was a mighty fine display of electrical equipment.'' Mrs. C, F. Kirkpatrick "I think the show a very progressive step and certainly gave new ideas to those who have just gotten electric ity in their homes. I think the bar becue and getting the people to gether and rejoicing over this im provement in the county a very fine thing."' T. L.
