But such was not the case. looked as if everything was thrown gear. Triflfif hpramp jammed, as the si lights went dark; service stations could not ell gasoline, even the free air racks became lifeless as the air tanks became depleted. Hot dogs stopped roasting, the coffee Stopped perking, ami many a place of busi ness suddenly felt a rise of temperature as electric fans stopped whipping up a breeze. The radios were silent, and mi-lady under the drier at the beauty parlor had to wait longer than she expected. The butcher could not grind hamburger, and the banker could not add up his figures on the electric adding machines. The soda jerker had to curtail serving milk shakes, and the postal dispatcher had to hand star.ip outgoing mail, instead of using the automatic electrically operated canceller. Dry cleaning plants stopped cleaning, and the milk bottling machines slid to a stop. This was a partial list of things that took place in the business district. The housewife experienced similar things, as the refriger ator started defrosting, the stove stopped heating, the vacuum would no longer sweep. While the interruption was unfortunate in one way, perhaps it was well worthwhile on the other, in that it made "s realize once more the importance of electricity, and the part it plays in our daily lives. In fact, it would be almost imposible to get along with out the unseen energy that flows so silently into our homes and offices from the dynamos of the power house.

We trust that the day is not far off when this too will be a reality for them. Crowded Highways Traffic officers of the nation lived in tear of the past three-day week-end, as they knew from past experiences that traffic would be unusually heavy, and mapy accidents were in the making. Here in Haywood, the records for heavy traffic were shattered, as up to 700 cars per hour passed a given point on some of the main highways, according to actual highway patrol count. The pace was slow, in that it was a bumper-to-bumper line on both sides of the highways. One patrolman pointed out that "only a crazy person would attempt to pass" in such a congestion, and speeding was held to a minimum due to the inability to get into an open space. Perhaps one solution to our traffic prob lems is crowded highways, with travel set at a slower tempo than at present. Driving in a long line of slow traffic is nerve-wracking to many motorists who have been accustomed to "opening up" and going places. One motorist reported that he had to come through Cherokee and the long, flat, straight sections of Highway No. 19 at 35 miles per hour. This motorist was reluctant to have to be held to such a speed; however, when he saw a car and bus wreck that claimed the lite of a man a few miles further up the road, he had difficulty in even traveling 35 miles an hour. We are not advocating that our highways remain as crowded as they were over the past week-end. but it did seem to keep down accidents, which is an accomplishment in these da vs. They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo A Beautiful Tribute The Memorial Chapel at Lake Junaluska is a thing of beauty, and dignity, that lends itself perfectly to the purpose to which it is dedicated The chapel was erected in mem ory of the men and women of the South eastern Jurisdiction who served in World War II. The simplicity of the building, and the dignilied atmosphere which it creates, are truly a permanent tribute to those who ... . .1 . : . . i 1 1 served their country during toe leeem vm iu wide conflict. The chapel, no doubt, will be a nucleus for the general expansion program of the Lake Junaluska Assembly to be built. Cer tainly the architecture and general scheme of the chapel is an ideal example for other proposed buildings in the future. ' ' i IILLFW tfCWH?

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE I low did of July? you spend the Fourth Miss Mary I,u Elwood "I parad ed in the morning and stayed home and played bridge in the afternoon to avoid the crowds." The Human Side O' Life BY UNCLE ABE A Soft Answer Hundreds of motorists visited Lake Juna luska Monday night to see the display ol , fireworks which was given on the brink of the hill just below the lighted cross. Cars and trucks jammed into every available space about the Lake, and on the Lake Shore drive motorists entered from both directions. When the line of traffic met about half way, it stopped, as vehicles lined both sides of the two-way road. One late-comer, not realizing the situation, began to blow his horn, and demand those ahead clear a way. Little did he realize that scores of cars were hopelessly jammed into the narrow road. A patient and tolerant motorist listened to the late-comer's demands, then in a soft voice told him, "Son. you are the last of several hundred who want to get through here just cut off your motor and take it easy; your time will come right after mine." The advice was taken. From then on the situation which had begun to get on the nerves of some, took on a holiday atmosphere, and laughter and joking filled the moonlit air.

MIRROR OF YOUR MINT 15 -v By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist know thl they may "catch some thing" ;n the subway, but if they must travel that way, they don't let the knowledge make them mis erable. An "anxiety neurotic" ex aggerates every danger, especially those which symbolize the things he fears but finds attractive. "Germs" to him are symbols of moral contamination.

I come1 this wk. to the defense of that un identyfide, mysteryus an' much- j abused person called "Some body." caze I've seed him tor hen cuffed j aroun' an' over worked long a- nough.

Like this: "Some body oiler crawl inlonder the floor an see if they can find that hen's nest." (Whir a dawg eoodn't crawl ; or, "Some body shood clean out that closet to-day "; "If some body would clime that apple tree" i prickly as the dickensi; an' so it goes, on an' on for Mr. Some body no let up. no rest or considera-shun whatever. An' o'course the speaker is a I "ays referrin' to "Some body" other than himself.

Answer: That depends on whether they arc really talented. and whether they arc truly artists, neither of which is too easy to determine. A true artist creates from a psjrchological compulsion and wUl g on working even if he starvei because there Is no other way in which he can release hii inner tensions. But he crn do better work UhtU free from out. side pressure, to that subsidizing him jnay be well worth, while. A talented person who Is not an art ist psychologically may become a Is rite feor of "ger" necrotic? Aaswer: Yes, if it keeps you rrom living like other people and enjoying normal pleasures. Healthy-minded people realise that they, cannot live without tak i ri.on snit trv merely to tak Is hatred as deadly as despair? Answer: No, maintains a writer in an Israeli medical journal. Many of the refugees who come to Palestine from long stays in dis placed persons camps ssem to have lost all hope and interest in living. They want nothing except to be safe from persecution, and even lapse into a state of semi consciousness. They are harder to restore to normal life than people ' whose chief emotion is hatred. For a person who hates is Still in touch with the world outside him, while one who has lost hope may withdraw into himself so far that Monday, July 11 IRON DCFF, CRABTRFF. IIYDER MT.
