JUNK 20, 1947 The Reading Club The program i,r the nnnual reading dub sponsored by the Haywood Cuntv Librarv this year miht well be studied bv'the older generation as well as the rising one, for it is outlined to teach much of local interest. Built around the theme of -Blue Ridye Billy," with a study of the mountains, wild flowers and natural resources of this area, it will undoubtedly prove to be. in addition to promoting summer reading, a profitable course. We understand that adults will be asked to attend some of the featherings when they have special speakers, and it miht prove of interest to accept such invitations. A Warning The records of Vrallic, violations in the city police department should sound a warning note to the motoring public. The fact that there has been an increase of one fifth more violations during the current year than dur ing the same period in 1!M(5 is significant. It is strange how most of us think thai laws are made for the other fellow, and we can get by. With more cars, plenty of gaso line, hence more Irallic, is no reason win drivers should become careless. It should work the other way, for with the presence of more vehicles on the highway, greater care should be taken by every person driving. It is up to all of us to see that there is ,i decline in this record, lor we have made it. Ask The Women Back We read that Brihiin has turned to her women attain with an appeal that they yo back to work in key production areas, as they did during the war. With the end of the war there was a back-to-home movement which took .ajthc. w;ojmn put of industry. jlrt -Jhs pleaTliQ labqr rrtlnister said in a re cent bfotfdc'asti am sorry that I have to make this appeal. You did amazingly well by your country during the war and it seems a pity that there is again this urgent call for your help. We have to export more now to get in return raw materials and food we need." It will be interesting to see the results of the plea for the government seems to be of fering little in the way of inducement to get the women back. Under the country's income tax laws, a married woman who works gets a tax re demption on the first $400 of her annual earn ings, but must pay very high tax rates on the rest because her earnings are added to her husband's total income for taxation pur poses. It is also stated that the government will fight any equality of pay between men and women. From the American standpoint, it looks like England might have a slight "civil war" on her hands, in trying to get her women back into the factories.

Main Street Phone 137 Waynesville, North Carolina The County Seat f Haywood County W. CUHTIS BUSS Editor MRS. HILDA WAY GWYN ... Associate Editor W. Curtis Russ and Marion T. Bridges, Publishers Program Continued We note that cuts planned by Congress in the appropriation of the Department of Agri culture will force a curtailment in the 1947 48 soil conservation programs that are planned for the midwest farms. It is reported that such economies will not dim the farmers' increasing enthusiasm for soil-saving agricultural practices. It is said that the sensible farmer will follow soil-saving practices without governmental reward, simply because he can make more money thereby, and can protect his land from threats of future lust storms. We feel sure that the Haywood farmers who have learned the value of soil conserva tion will have the same attitude, for it has been demonstrated beyond doubts that the value of contour plowing, terracing and prop er fertilization in Haywood county has: brought our farms to a high state of produc- ! tion which could never have otherwise been realized. WONDER WHO'S iCiSSiNC HER NOW? r. To The Graduates We have been interested in the lines of thought presented in various graduation ad dresses and among those arresting our notice was that of Bishop Wright of Eastern Caro lina in his talk before the North Carolina State college seniors. The bishop's subject was "Giving One's Head to Clod," and he brought out this point: 'Intelligence without goodness is a public calamity and so is goodness without intelli gence.

A lot of girls seem to thhik so, and feel cheated when they find they've spent their money on hotel bills and good :lothes "for nothing." But the average young man going on vaca tion is not in the mood for matri mony. He feels he has worked hard and has some fun coming to him, not a chance for new respon aibilities and worries.

The! Affairs. I. C. C. was enjoined from enforcing its de-j cision, but the Supreme Court now upholds the commission's findings, 7 to 2. So, although there is still honest disagreements, the facts would seem to have been thoroughly weighed. History, justly or unjustly, adds up in sup port of the I. C. C.'s and the Supreme Court's rulings. The south and west for years have argued this way: Capital accumulated from the industry of the northeast built and has controlled American railroads. Long ago these railroads established rates which en abled the south and west to ship raw ma terials to northern and eastern factories eco nomically, but penalized distribution of southern and western manufactured products. To the contention by railroads and indus trialists in "official" territory that the vol ume of classified .freight originating in the northeast justifies lower rates, the south and west reply that this greater volume has been maintained partly by rate discrimination. The Supreme Court did not inquire into motives, nor hint that any conspiracy lay behind the rate differentials. It did find suf ficient coincidence between the long-standing shipping disadvantages borne by the south and west, and the fact of their indus trial retardation, to conclude that some casual relationship has existed and should be cor-. rected. y- :-T' V:";c I mer. i The students and teachers rep- resent some 35 different organiza tions and. come from all parts of j the country.
