" Until the first of the year, Haywood was part of the District Health Department, which was made up of several counties west of here and the Cherokee Indian Reservation. At times, the large district, and the many "problems in the area placed a hardship on the personnel of the department, which in time reflected to the citizens of each county. The work was perhaps harder on those in charge, than that suffered by the citizens. , Now Haywood has a unit all to itself. A department where the personnel will devote all their time and attention to problems here in Haywood. . From., every angle, it would appear that ; the efficiency for which the department has been, striving can now be attained. In the face of vall that, it appears to have been a good move for .all concerned. Needless Human Suffering A lot of children in Charlotte received ''BB" guns for Christmas. As a result, al ready 24 people have been injured from pel lets shot from the air rifles, and at least two children have lost the sight of eyes,, when a shot shattered their eye ball. The record has flabbergasted the police, and officials of Charlotte, to the-point that police are now confiscating .U such guns that can be found. Doctors treating some of the facial wounds, said that there is a possibility that several, other patients might lose the sight of their eyes. " ; ... The mayor c-f Charlotte placed' all the blame for the wholesale mishaps into the laps of parents who would let their children have such guns for toys. In almost every instance, the child was playing cowboy or Indians, and shot at a playmate with the loaded air rifles. Sme of the children with the guns were only four and five years old. Some, of course, were 10 and 11. It made little difference. Innocent persons were wounded by pellets, fired from guns in the hands of children of all ages. The Charlotte situation should be a lesson for the remainder of the state. Air rifles, like fireworks, are useless and dangerous. They'll.

That figure, which was $263,775 to be exact, was for building permits issued within the city limits by Building Inspector Hugh' Jolley. As everyone knows, there has been a con sistent building program underway in the rural areas. We expect, in proportion, the rural areas have spent as much for building as have the people in town. . Such building indicates progress and growth. The State's Lean Treasury A few weeks ago Santa Claus was check ing his list to see who had been naughty or nice;: v now that the State Treasury is in need of funds, the state income man is checking his list twice, to see who has'been failing to send in their income money to Raleigh. All 'through the years, Uncle Sam has kept a keen eye peeled on the income tax dollar, while the state somehow let some taxpayers get a little behind. Now the time has come, so say the state men, to pay up, And such a notice brought in some $2,000 right here in a few days, but not all the Haywood people who owed the state paid up. Now the income tax men are sending out about 1,000 letters pointing out . this is the "last All'' better pay up. - ; . ' .The lean treasury is making them .scratch for the money due, and from all indications, they plan to get every penny. ' Lpoking Back Over The Years 15 YEAR AGO "W. T.

Reynolds lost A 1950 Reminder Of War On Monday of this week President Tru man asked congress for funds to meet a budget of $42 xk billion dollars. He pointed out at the same time that the budget will plunge the government over $5 billions deep er into the red unless taxes are raised. V A breakdown of the budget, shows that the proposal made by President Truman will cost on an average, of every man, woman and child',' $283.17- for;the next"'12 mdnths. The interesting thing about the national budget, is that prior to Pearl Harbor, the average cost per person was $101.14. If you . like, you can charge the difference of about $171 up to war, and the increases in gov ernment expenditures which the war helped create. - ' Corn Missionaries One man smacked his lips when he read the headline on page one of this newspaper Monday. The headline was "Corn Club Meets 19th'- -: v, ..,-. He had another type corn in mind. Anyway, when the Haywood corn grow ers meet next Thursday, they will have, with them, one of their own, who is champion of the whole state Dwight Williams. The man who grew 141 bushels to the acre this year. It is fine for the Haywood men, who all made good records with their corn crops to meet, but it might be just as well to send them out as advisors to other counties. The local fellows already know how to raise corn. Their knowledge would be valuable to some who have not attained such records. Merchants and other lines of business make an inventory of all goods on hand right about this time of year. The same idea might be well for the individual to "take stock'' of their personal short-comings, and some of their habits which they would be better without. 'However, that is harder than it seems. In the first place, who would be so bold as to admit they have a bad habit or a fault? ' - irr his thumb and pulledJout a plum . . .," so goes the little Mojher Goose rhyme. This season, the Jack Horner of political appoint ments, turns put to be none other than Harry T. Westcott of Manteo and Raleigh, who gets the Utilities Commission, post, .being vacated by Robert Grady Johnson of Pender County. It is well nigh impossible to keep Dare County out of the political -picture. Bruce Etheridge was forced out by Scott, Cut the' some Scott gave Westcott a big promotion from head of the Mar kets Division of the Ag. Dept., where' he succeeded Randal B. Etheridge, deceased, a few months ago. Randal B. was a cousin of R. Bruce, both from the isle of "yel low, stricken sand". As keen in his work as over the poker table, Harry Westcott 's ap pointment will run until next year, when he will be reappointed to a new fix-year term. This will carry him through Scott's administration, through Seo'tt's successor's tenure, and A month in 1957. All told, the job Is good for about $57,750. It's the plummiest plum. ' his aunt. Naturally, he was grkf stricken. ' Then, as if by magic, in came that nice little letter' from Our Bob. Touching. There is something really saddening about all those cards and letters, for they carry one straight back to the twenties when Our Bob. then a gay blade and a world traveler was so ener getic with pen and postal.

YOUR AUNT EMMA If death has recently claimed one of your relatives, you should have in proud possession by this time a neatly worded, hand-written note of con dolence rom one Robert R. Rey nolds of Ashevllle.

The other day a gentleman in nearbv city who for the life of him could not remember ever hav- Must parents learn to "take the long view"? Answer: Yes, writes Dr. Gelolo McHugh of Duke University in Marriage and Family Living. "Parenthood requires a balanced emotional makeup which not only allows but prefers work for re jnot goals." A child is a "long Una investment." And if you de mand immediate returns for in stance, appreciation of all you do . for him while he Is too young to realize it you not-only will be -;TPointed, but will jeopardize y r real goal, which is the cre ative satisfaction of helping de4 vekp a new human personality, - t Xrora your own. Does psychology "excuse" wrong-doing? Answer: Certainly not. It leaves both blame and approval ulti mately to the person himself, Since 'it is his own feelings he will act on in the long run. The goal of psychology is to help you see three things: what you're da is it childish to let trifles irritate you? Answer:-Yes, it's Just that. To have something happen which you dislike may rouse you to anger either (a) because it does you ''real harm (in which case anger is natural and normal K or (b) because it reminds you of the painful tact that you are not all powerful and so cannot always have things as you want them. Realizing this fact is the greatest tragedy nd disillusionment of childhood, but you're not emo tionally mature Ctntil you have learned to accept it and reserve your irritation for the things that really matter. Bookmobile Schedule BAPTIST TROUBLES What with having a murder in the stu dent body of their senior college, an investigation of gambHng and wholesale cheating at the same schooL with three of the leading footballers being expelled from this institution, and now deeply involved in the old church-and-State argument, the 700,000 Bap tists of North Carolina are certain ly having their troubles, i The general board of thV State Baptist Convention , received a severe handslapping from the Baptists here , in November for overstepping their authority in spending better than $250,000 in the purchase and development of seashore projects, etc., and forc ing the Baptists to go deeoly into debt again in borrowing $250,000. Mrs. Charles 1 MoDarjs:. "I'm superstitious only when it comes to black cats- but I'll still be careful on Friday." Frank Ferguson: "I'll be careful not to quarrel wilh my girl " Miss Edna Hayes: "I'm not super stilious, so I'll do as if it were the 14th."

"I'll Mrs. Bob Coin: "I was born on Friday the Thirteenth ,so I'm not superstitious. ble on this within the next day or two; maybe more later.
