NATIOI K HA LjsC L EDITORIAL- ASSOCIATION Carotin Finding New Neighbors ' Since some of the larger centers of popu lation in Western North Carolina have open ly started a campaign to get everything for i themelves, without regard for other com-, munities, we have a suggested project for the j Waynesville Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps this fall, and certainly not later than next spring, the organization should ! stage a motor tour through upper South Car-; olina, selling that area on Highway No. 276 from Greenville, via Caesar's Head, Brevard, j Pisgah and on into Waynesville. Without question, this is the most scenic! highway in Western Carolina today and with plentv of illustrated literature on the section! traversed by the highway, we feel lots of good could be accomplished. Contacts with our South Carolina neighbors would be well worth the while, and it, looks like this com munity is goin to need some more neigh bors, since learning more about some of our North Carolina ones. We feel that Brevard would be interested j in the project and do their part. i It would take some time and thought to; get the details worked out to perfection, but' the theme of the campaign could be "travel Highway No. 276 to the Smokies and miss the congested traffic of the area east of Haywood." MAYBfc WE NEED A BLOWTORCH MiRROR OF YOUR MIND -"'isunji pi feel" another's Interest lit you without his expressing it? De: TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1947 'Acres Of Diamonds' One of Haywood's greatest assets and one that is often overlooked, is the Pisgah Na tional Forest. The Pisgah Forest is right at our doorsteps and contains as much varied scenery as many views and recreational facilities as are now found in the Great Smokies. We do not mean to belittle the Park, but we feel that too few of us fully appreciate the value and what is actually offered in Pisgah National Forest. We agree wholeheartedly with the Tran sylvania Times in a recent editorial on the Pisgah National Forest. The editorial from the newspaper in Brevard read: "Famous for its multi-use activities, the Pisgah National Forest, with its greatest area in Transylvania county, is this year attract ing thousands of tourists, sightseers and pic nickers from all parts of America. "While it sounds unbelievable, a checkup reveals that one car per minute enters the entrance to the forest which is located three miles from Brevard. Cars from every state in the nation can be seen jamming the picnic areas and most notable are South Carolina license tags. "Transylvania county is reaping wide pub licity from this outstanding forest and the services it is rendering to the state and the nation. To the sightseer, the forest is a won derland of nature, a cool and refreshing spot to spend a day or a week end. To the sports man, the Pisgah offers unexcelled rainbow and brook trout fishing and a short deer hunt ing season is being advocated for this fall. "Principally noted for its timber, the Pis gah furnishes some 20 million feet of lumber each year to individuals and concerns throughout the United States. Realizing that the strength of America is in its re- out a abund- is de pendent upon the forest df t6day. "The fact that the Ecusta Paper corporation is located on the Davidson river which flows from the Pisgah is evident that the purest water in America originates right here in our own national forest. Three towns also have watersheds in the Pisgah as do other indus tries and smaller communities. "While the Pisgah National Forest is our greatest tourist attraction, the multi-use ac tivities of the forest should not be over looked. Present indications point to feld spar mining in the forest and during the war, several mica mines were located in the vast area of the Pisgah. "We salute Ranger W. W. kHuber and his able staff for the marvelous job they are do ing in making the forest of greater service to a larger number of people than ever before." Hitting The Soft Spot One of the best explanations of the situa tion in the Near EasUwas given Rotarians here Friday by Fera Benjamin, a business man of Cincinnati, and outstanding church layman. The speaker is a native of Persia, but now a citizen of this country. He explained how Russia was going into Rambling 'Round Bits Of Human Interest News Picked, Up By Members Of The Mountaineer -Staff- Can you Answer: You can make a pretty good guess at how someone (eels about you from actions and ges tures that "speak louder than words." But it's risky to take such a guess too seriously, especially in the case of someone you want very much to believe you have made a hit with. It's all too easy to use other people as a sort of mental mirror in which we see only the reflection of our feelings toward them. This habit tech nically called "projection" may lead to most dangerous kinds of self-deception. Do brain injuries affect all victims alike? Answer: No, says Dr. Harry L. Kozol, neuropsychiatry, on the basis of a study of the after-effects of 101 head accidents. While such injuries, if serious, always pro duce changes of personality, the lOwnilht.

The Russians, it seems, are taking advan tage of the unrest that exists in the Orient and it is only natural for a person who is down and out to follow anyone who prom ises' him something better.

In other words, 509 potential murder ers on the highways of the state were caught and convicted in 30 days. Haywood had her share of drunken drivers in that state total, which is a record we can not be produ. The new law which went into effect July 1 might tend to curb some drunken driving, but not unless the maximum penalty is is sued out by each court that has a drunken driver come before the bench. Of all the menaces on the road, and to so ciety, we list the drunken driver as the worst, and we feel the best remedy is for the courts to make those who engage in such practices to get the full penalty of the law at all times.

It is about this time of year that plans are usually made for the annual flower shows. We notice that such plans are already under way in Bryson City and Asheville, and per haps other towns. ' So far, we have not found any place which can produce larger or more beautiful ilowers than right here in Haywood. Some civic group would do well to inaugurate a revival of the flower show idea here n Waynesville.
