Thra-h. hi-h-1 district, ami will be at the court ads with Havwood This is utie vi a series id Commissiuner Thrash and h holding m the 14 counties o r. ;eetinus which is associates are f 'die district, in an effurt to uet first-hand information from the people about roads, and at :he same time, give the people some facts about the high way set-up in the state. Commissioner Thrash has pointed out that his first and primary object is to et rural residents out of the mud. He has larc stockpiles of crushed stone wv.ich lie wants to use on roads that are not stoned. The highway otlicials have iooked upon this method of procedure f'-r several years as the practical one for rural roads. Back last year, when D. Reeves No land was com missioner, the same practice was followed. Roads were stoned, and this m turn Ljets - people on those roads out of the. mud now, ' and also provides a solid foundation for any paving projects which miuht come later. Commissioner Thrash also has in mind a plan of getting a representative from each community to consult with him, together with count' officials and civic leaders, on the roads that should be paved first under the state rural road p.oram. It appears that the highway officials are trying to net to the very foundation of the prouram. and serve the people. This newspaper likes the attitude of consulting the people. Too often governmental agencies no ahead and cram their wishes down the throats of the people, with the attitude of "the public be handed." We should hasten to say riuht here, that paving is all off until next April. Highway engineers just turn thumbs down on paving projects from October until April, due to the rapid changes in temperatures. While this is not the "paving season" the highway officials are going ahead with their .work, and mapping their programs for a busy season when April first rolls along. t We are sure the highway officials will find the people in Haywood cooperative, and anx ious to work with them on the project. And This Time Its Girls I When one mentions the word Scouts, the average thought is Boy Scouts, because, we have heard a lot more of that group than the other group which is fast coming into their own Girl Scouts. This community has at various times had a Girl Scout organization, and the growth has been gradual, until now the organization is large enough to demand due recognition of its importance. There was a time in our social order when a Girl Scout organization would have been out of place. But that period was years ago, and not today. There is a definite place for the work of the Girl Scouts. What they are taught in their programs today will be carried with them throughout life. The Girl Scouts, just like any other simi lar organization, requires a certain amount of money. No funds are needed for the lead ers, as they get their compensation from the fact of knowing they are helping young peo ple. None of the necessary money is used for leadership, but instead, there is a certain amount of overhead, and materials which must be had to put on a complete program. This community, through its Girl Scout committee, has-set a budget of $1,000 for the organization this year. This is not so much when one considers the large number of lives the program, reaches, and also that there has not been a campaign for this organization for a long time. It will be remembered that a Girl Scout hut was built several years ago, and there the girls meet and are given valuable instruction ; by competent leaders. Part of the money j needed is for repairs to this building. ; We have no fear but what this community j will join in harmonously, and give generously ; to such a worthy program.

A Lot Of Big Names In The Festival It begins to appear that Waynesville will resemble Washington when the third an nual Tobacco Harvest Festival gets under way the last of November. With three officials from the capital al ready on the program, and a large group scheduled to attend the festival from Raleigh, it will no doubt be an ideal chance to talk about the Democratic primary next May. But what political talk goes on, will be in private conversations, because the program is geared to an educational and entertaining one for the festival. So faf, it looks as if the committee is go ing to have a tip-top program arranged for the entire five days. Mrs. W. A.

Capital Letters By EULA NDtfON GREENWOOD Fear-Ridden Race We are living in an era where true spir itual values and ideals have been obscured in a fear-ridden race for security through power, and its inevitable hand-maiden vio lence. It is absurd to expect a child to build con fidently for the future on a stockpile of atomic bombs, as it would be to expect an adult to build confidently for the future on the crater of a volcano. We must help our children to build their world on lasting spiritual values and ideals that will sustain them through any ordeal This will take patience, humility, and vigi lance on our part. We will find the answers in our churches and our schools, and not in material values. We might as well face the facts it is no longer enough to straighten our children's teeth, watch their vitamin intake, and hope for the best. It never was. The chaotic condition of the world today is proof of that. But, the point is, we never before really were ready to admit it. Sacramento (Cal.) Union MIRROR OF YOUR MIND '4 I I " By LAWRENCE 60ULD Consulting Psychologist repressed, first by adults when we are children and later by moral scruples, does not dispose of them; it only transforms, them into some form of neurosis. Only as we learn to channelize children's aggres sive impulses instead of trying to crush them will destructiveness cease to be a necessary human limitation.

And not merely the fact that you indulge in spreading rumors (if you do this) but the conscious or unconscious wsk in which you make a story more exciting.

East or west that is the question. Thad Eure from Gates and Hert ford Counties is now regarded as a candidate. At the other end of the State, Asheville is looking favor ably in the direction of Brandon Hodges, the new State Treasurer. In the south central section is Lt. Gov. Pat Taylor, who would like to run. In Wake County, there is Agri culture Commissioner L. Y. Bal lentine. who still has the guberna torial bee in his bonnet. This is probably the first time in the history of the State or at least in the history of the, east west rule that men from so many different sections arc being con sidered as potential candidates. All four are good men . . . and ible . . . hut none is the type can didate Kerr Scott was. Of the four, Secretary of State Thad Eure; is irobably closest to the Governor. But Ballentine is closest to the farmer and is doing a wonderful iob running the State Agriculture Department, Hodges looks more like a Governor than the others . . The uncertainty as to where the icxt Governor should come from steins, of course, from this ques tion: Is Kerr Scott from the east or from the west? Letters To Editor TAR HEEL PUBLISHER Editor The Mountaineer: Just a note to express our really deep appreciation for the two re cent highly complimentary editori als you have written about Judy and I. We thought the news cover age on the various events were handled splendidly, too. and it is all most gratifying to us. We had a tough break in the weather, but from the letters we have had it looks as thout'h this did not dampen the spirits of the various writers and photographers. The ' Washington Times Herald is running a full page daily layout in addition to the Predate winked up by Paul Harmon. Cochrane oi the Saturday Evening Post indi cates that the use in the Post will be both as an article as well as the pictures, while the newspaper fellows from New York are still running daily- columns. Bill Sharpe says that Gould took back two lay outs for PARADE, and others are running stories and pictures, so it looks like they all got something they could use.
