Not so long ago, no one would have been so disrespectful as to have led a funeral proces sion at more than five miles an hour. Times and conditions have brought about a change in this, and now 25 to 30 miles an hour is considered a practical speed and one of i dignity. , Funeral processions traveling main high- ; ways can easily create a traffic condition that sometimes becomes dangerous, and for that reason, the laws regulating funeral pro- j cessions have been changed. ! There is no law now which prevents a motorist from passing an entire procession i when he keeps within the rules of safety in so doing. Neither is there any longer a law I which requires a motorist approaching a I funeral procession to stop. There was a time when this was necessary. The changes in the law have been in keep ing with the needs of the day, and it appears that each step has been a practical one. They'll Do It Every Timtjv. '.ami 8- I ri 0V By Jimmy Hatlo Monday Afternoon. July 11. 1949 Court Crowds This morning marked the July term of criminal court here, and the large crowds that" attend court were un hand. The criminal term of court attracts large crowds, and about the same group year after year. The civil terms of court are usually too technical, and lack the glamour, and the usual cases which draw the huge crowds that turn out for criminal terms. Cases that have a little "dirt" mixed into them are the largest drawing cases on the docket. It is just a matter of record, and we pre sume such will alwavs be the case. A Valuable Service It is a source of gratification to learn that the expert inspectors here last week found but few places in Haywood that they con sidered as dangerous. We feel that the record of the past few years bears out their findings, in that Hay wood has had but few serious fires. There is one point which an inspector made which is perhaps the foundation of the entire fire prevention program, and that is "cleanli ness." Fires seldom start in a clean place. The inspection in the four Haywood towns and the recommendations of the men doing the work will mean a lot for the present and the years to come. The suggestions made by the inspectors were practical and timely, and we have a feeling that every property owner and business firm will' adhere to the suggestions.

This week, another trend has developed. From iotva came a request from the Wash ington Evening Journal for 12 pictures which were used in the special edition. The Journal wants to . use the pictures about burley, apples, and beef cattle, in an effort to show their readers what type farming is carried on in this county. From down in Columbus County in this state, came a request for dairy pictures to be used by the Whiteville News-Reporter. Copies of the edition are being studied by 4-H Club groups in Iowa, and from Virginia comes word that similar use is' being made with extension workers there. Several hundred copies were bought by TV A for use in the seven states in which the Tennessee Valley Authority operates. A number of publications have asked for special articles about the program, and one of tfie leading editors of the South in a per sonal letter to the editor of this newspaper thjs'week, said he planned to make a personal inspection trip here before long. bragging btkrarTfrPition, but in an effort to show the interest the outside world has in the farm program which is underway here in Haywood County. Blue Ridge Parkway Funds The announcement recently that the Na tional Park Service would seek a Congres sional appropriation of $13,500,000 to be used for completion of the Blue Ridge Parkway is received here with much interest and approval. While only a small part of the parkway is in Burke County it is definitely a part of those things the people of this county and. this entire area of the State point to with pride. It ' is also one of the showplaces of the nation as well as being an important link in our country's highway system in peace pnd war. It will be recalled that sometime ago a group of local area people met with a Con gressional Committee in Asheville at a hear ing on the matter of further construction on the parkway and further development of the Smoky Mountain Park. The request from the National Park Service for these funds represents a splendid piece of work on the part of those interested citizens who appeared before this Congressional hearing.

At this camp, a complete study of music is had, and the students work hard day in and day out, Under the leadership of out standing musicians. The fact that 14 from here are attending ts encouraging in many ways.

Work ing with the Woman's Club these books will be made available through their Library located in the Boat House. Mrs. R. M. Haw kins is president of the club and Miss Bruce McDonald acts as Li brarian. The Library there opened officially on July 1st.. A collection of books' has been loaned to them and the Bookmobile will make stops at the Boat house. We are glad for our many friends at the Lake and we congratulate the Woman's Club on sponsoring this service. So many new stops have been added to our Bookmobile Service. Take for instance the new stop at Bradley's Store in Hazelwood. On the first trip there lfi books were checked out. With the children out of school you should see them meeting the Bookmobile. Out at Mrs. F. O. Dryman's in Rogers' Cove 53 books were taken out. At the Frank Worlirk stop up in Al iens Creek section they took 29 books home. Children from all over the country are having the opportunity of reading during the summer and to join others in the Summer Reading Club. Take a look at the Haywood County Map on our Bulletin Board and see the tnany names of the members of our Reading Club. Children at the Clyde Summer Reading Club checked out 62 books last Wednesday after their story h6ur. with 2 an' we'll end up with 2.

The or ehardists said the Agriculture De partmenl was all wrong, adding that large-crop forecasts cause a drop in peach prices. While the peach growers may be right, this is an old story. You can seldom get one of them to say out loud that the crop is going to be any thing but light. It would be ex tremely silly and bad business -for them to brag about a big crop of peaches. The production of peaches is a tremendous gamble at best, and just a little reckless talk by orehardists or "experts" can play havoc with the deal. ANOTHER FORECAST Just before the Legislature adjourned. Revenue Commissioner Kdwin (hll predicted that General Fund reve nue for the fiscal year ending June 110 would be around $140.707.1100.
