There are many men well qualified to head the Scout work, but in Carlton Peyton, the district has a man with 17 years of experi ence, and a man who has his heart in the work. Haywood is fortunate in having such men to lead such an important work as Scouting-. William Medford, and Ben Colkitt. have both served as district chairman, and served well. And we predict for Mr. Peyton whole- hearty cooperation and justified success. TUESDAY, DECEMBER lfii rmft, suds at thuka, r profit. U b abumd far of Iiii I tor proUt, rll bm atauf4 m BH tar w. The Lions Work Hard NATIONAL DITORIAl mii w;assocation TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1941 Depend On Hay wood Haywood County will do her part in de fending America. That is not just a claim hatched up by this newspaper. It is a'fact. It has been proven on every hand, and especially last Thursday night when 275 preachers, teachers and demon stration fanners met at the armory and for over four , hours discussed obligations and duties of individuals and groups in doing "our part for America.'' The principles, and general ideas were sound. The usual light and meaningless promises and enthusiasm was missing. These three groups are in dead earnest. They are determined.. They are out for their nation. They agm ;with the President when he said "we must have victory and lasting peace." . As far as can be! learned, this is the first time in North; Carolina that demonstration farmers' have honored teachers and preach ers for. thev part in promoting the "food for 'freedom campaign. The three groups, .working hand in hand, have done a remark- able. job. They - realize all must do more. They are willing arid ready to carry through with, (heir part' ' ' Here in Haywood County, people are aware .of the fAct that all life comes from the soil, and the phrase stressed last Thursday night "As the soil, so are the people" brought home more clearly the necessity of con serving as we produced more and better products; Haywood County will do her part in de fending America. Every organization does not always war rant its existence. The Lions Club, however, is one of those clubs which has gone out and made for it self a place in the community a mace that . - v w - designates it as one of the community's big gest assets, and we say that after a care ful study of their accomplishments of the past and aims for the future. Last week-end the club erected their dime board and started their camnaiirn for monev. with which they will again spread cheer at Christmas.

Not just a rally for one organization, or two, but a county-wide rally which would include eve,ry one of every walk of life and 'every creed. This is being written before the rally is held, but knowing the people backing the , program, and knowing the pure patriotism for which Haywood famous, we do not hesitate to go down in print and predict a successful rally. ; Such an attitude is general all over Amer ica, and it is such attitudes that will result in victory and peace. but certainly well pleased, with thp annmmw ment that Bill Milner. 190 the Universitv Qi.fi, Powvi; , as glamorous nor thrilling as the in un versityof South Carolina was named colorful uniforms of the service -nn-ouuuiern on the sophomore team.

TRY EATING A PIECE Agricultural experts 'all over the country say there is too much wheat in the world. It worries thm Xhey must have little else to worry over if that is the case. One of these experts, riding about and seeing a waving field of wheat gets the headache; it spoils the whole day for hfm. This is the situation, with half the world hungry for bread. It seems silly; maybe it is. Anyway, wheat prices reached a four-year high in Chicasro this week. Mavho there isn't too much wheat. But the experts have the answer to that It is simply that there is too much wheat. ' ' '-. It is curbed, controlled and reg ulated in order ta raise the price. A satisfactory price is proper, but it would be bad if the world should wake up some day and find it had good prices but no wheat. People would have a hard time e&tins a price and no bread in the house. Shelby Star. New York Citv' has opened 15 tracks for bicycles to keep them 1 the streets. YOU'RE TELLING ME!
