NATIONAL CDITORIA! ASSOCIATION FRIDAY, .MAY 1C, 1947 Bethel The Bethel community has always been one uf the outstanding areas in Haywood jounty. The dedication of the Bethel Meth idist church last Sunday marks another mile . tone in the progress of the community. Nestling in one of the most beautiful val . .-vs in Western North Carolina, its citizens . .ave always been of the highest type, and the . hurch center, with its three churches has ; een an outstanding part of the community . fe. One of the finest things about the cornmu i ity has been the perfect harmony of the t enorninations in their cooperation with each other. While they show their preference in 1 ltfir designated membership, each congrega 1 on aids the other in their church, work. Tak i.ig part on the program Sunday were active i lembers of other congregations, showing a community as well as a Christian cooperation vhich is to be commended in any community --and applied to world affairs would untangle some of our current problems. Worthwhile Project We congratulate the American Legion on their project to sponsor the purchase of a bookmobile for the county library. We like wise congratulate the rural people on their nod luck to have this improved library serv ice which will be extended to the rural areas through the acquisition of this vehicle to the county library service. While the rural population have had a fine service in book stations, it has been a hard ship on the library to get the books delivered, with no certain means of transportation, and with a bookmobile this will all be changed. Now people en route the lines of the book mobile will have an opportunity to borrow books, frpm the truck and jit ! will be possible to haveS e'wer of books than in the preVioqs arrangement. If anyone doubts that this service is appre ciated by the rural people of Haywood coun ty, and what their appreciation of this larger and more extensive service through a book mobile, they have only to visit the county library and check on circulation in the rural areas. They will come in for a big surprise, and in addition to the number of readers throughout the county, they will also won der if the town people are making the most of this opportunity, which is so convenient to them. A bookmobile on the rural roads of Hay wood county will be an inspiring sight, it will be a banner of progress which is in keeping with the trend of better living which marks the passage of time in Haywood county. Just For Drinks The Vanishing:Potato We read that the old standby, the Irish po tato, is a "vanishing American institution, ac cording to an internationlly known econo mist. The consumption of the potatoes per capita has declined some 25 per cent since World War I and only a "major depression can ever restore the spud as the monarch of Yankee Doodle vegetable." Potatoes will not disappear, we are told, j from the American table, but will become just another vegetable, and will not hold the place of importance which it has enjoyed so much. It seems that the potato is "going to pot" not in the pot, chiefly because of the im provement in the standard of living. Better transportation and refrigeration make it pos sible for housewives to buy vegetables that once were curiosities to their mothers. One of the biggest reasons, however, is the blame put on the women for a "waistline aversion." The women feel that potatoes and poundage are inseparable, so they are given as one of the main causes for the decline of the good old standby. We are told that the farmer is making it up on the sale of spuds for potato chips, and that the wise farmer who grades his potatoes and uses improved methods will still make an honest penny on his crop of potatoes. i .Mi ADJOURNED 1 m MIRROR OF YOUR WIND B Y LAWPrvi Consulting p3 who, hp s'l:..! .

A Timely Suggestion In an address at the Rotary district confer ence in Charlotte, Mr. Holt McPherson, retir ing district governor, presented an idea that might well be considered by members of all civic clubs in Western North Carolina which are members of national or international or ganizations, such as Rotary, Kiwanis, Civitan, Lions, and others. have already won something very precious, which will be a hi-lp to you all throush life, if you apply it. That is the art of loosing with Erace and instead of letting il get you down, build on failure to higher things. Ridge Parkway is going to present new and greater opportunity and challenge to Rotar ians of Western North Carolina to afford the hospitality and fellowship which the many thousands of visiting Rotarians have a right to expect from their fellow clubmen of these communities. Mr. McPherson said that in Florida, where he formerly lived, he saw a demonstration of what he was proposing for Western North Carolina. The opening of the Blue Ridge Parkway, which will be one of the finest highways in America and designed primarily for tourist travel, unquestionably will greatly increase the number of visitors who will be coming annually to the great scenic mountain area of North Carolina in the years ahead. The opening of the Great Smoky Mountains Na tional Park years ago meant a great increase in the number of visitors coming to North Carolina from all over the country. The Blue Ridge Parkway and the great Smoky Moun tains National Park will form a combination that will still further greatly increase the number of people coming to North Carolina from other states for their annual vacations. The members of the Rotary and other "luncheon" clubs of Western North Carolina can increase and promote the attractiveness of the section for visiting vacationists by meeting and cordially greeting their fellow clubmen from all over the United States. The hospitality and friendship shown the visitors will have the effect of strengthening the de sire of tourists and vacationists to come back repeatedly to North Carolina. Charlotte Observer. was the most beautiful sight she had ever seen" Kveryone who heard or met Mrs Keith, the form er Marie Morrisy, who was brought here in a concert by Clyde II. Ray Jr., will recall her lovely voice and remember her charm of manner. We ran into the finest bit of sportsmanship last week, so we pass it on to you. There were eleven girls in the Woman's Club reading contest at the high school. Only two of the group were seniors, so the others, some of whom are members of the 9th grade will have another try at the top place. One of the girls reported to us that every contest ant who entered this year had made a pledge to keep on being in the contest as long as they were In school, and that each one had made up her mind to win. Of course the last will not be possible, but it is a commendable reaction on the part of a looser. Success to you girls, and even if you don't win the top place, you We sincerely trust htat I he Hope diamond will have to be sold lor the benefit of four-year old Mamie Spears Reynolds, recently left by her grandmother. Mrs. Fvalyn Walsh McLean. Of course it is none of our business, but we all have a tendency to express ourselves. We would not want to wish the responsibility of the possession of such a fabulous and famous stone on anyone, much less a sweet four year old. A jewel like that should be in a museum, it seems to us and its very possession would demons trate the "burden of riches", instead ! of monetary security which valu ables sometimes mean. We often wonder what pleasure the late Mrs. McLean had from wearing, the thing, regardless of its accepted superstitious, and ill luck associa tion. Perhaps though, as far as its safety was concerned, il was too distinctive and too famous lo tempi a thief to take a chance on. While Herman I ranois and J. T. Russell have done a swell job at the stamp-window of the post office, we have greatly missed Linwood Grahl, who served there so many years.

Horton as chairman of the State Demo cratic Executive Committee does not necessarily rule him out as a candidate for Governor, the odds now are definitely against his run ning.

The liquor bill of the United States is reported last year to have been twice as large as the amount spent for public education. It reached the staggering sum of $8,750, 000,000. This large sale of intoxicants was also reflected in the number of cases on the dockets of our criminal courts. This matter of education which most of us Jiaye taken for granted has been neglected to such an extent that most of us are com pleiely surprised. The time has come when -the American citizen had better take an over-all picture and get his values more balanced... ; : , . Henry Ford's Will We were glad that the great motor com pany that bears his name and which he found ed with only $28,000 in cash back in 1903 will remain in the family under the will of Henry Ford. That we feel is in keeping with the character of its founder. The responsibility of carrying on the great family empire now rests with the younger members of his family, as they reach matu rity, the four grandchildren, and the elder, now in command, seems to have much of the spirit of his grandfather. Certainly the public can have no fault to find with this feature of his will, when we consider the vast amounts which he has left to make the world a better place, and to aid fellowmen. It is said that the foundation which started with $164,000 and has grown steadily with his wealth, will be the largest foundation of its kind, even surpassing the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation. If the principles which Mr. Ford laid down are followed we may expect the huge sum to go for purposes practical to mankind, we are told. He was a stern believer in helping only those who were willing to help-themselves and once was reported to have said "I have no patience with professional charity." 'Thus ..from the money , of ithe "greatest foundation yet -established the people at large will become the major beneficiary under Mr. Ford's wflL ; '.-.' WASHINGTON Mme.
