NATIONAL. IDITORIAL ASSOCfAT(c)N L.:.:ir.:i'ma Thnrsday Afternoon, January 19, 1950 Mrs. John K. Boone We write paeans of praise of the lives of men and women who have wrought great things in the fields of politics, business, and art. But rarely do we write of those who made a greater contribution, to humanity in quieter walks of life and leave their foot prints on the sands of time because their lives, literally, have been spent in doing good. It is not easy to find the words that would ' fittingly pay tribute to the memory; of Mrs. John K. Boone's beautiful Christian .life Rich in love and kindness to her fellow man. This much can be said, that every man, woman and child, who knew -and loved' her, feels a desire, even a yearning to walk the ways she walked to serve the God she served. .. "Be noble and the nobleness that lies ' in other men. Sleeping but never dead, will rise in maj esty to meet thine own." (EBS) Gold On The Watershed A long time ago, professional foresters pointed out that some day, the 9,000-acre watershed of the Town of Waynesville, would be a revenue producing asset in addi tion to supplying an abundance of pure water. It appears that that day has arrived. Now that the town has sold over $30,000 more in timber from a small 450-acre tvact, far re moved from the area supplying the commun ity with water. J This is the second timber removing con-, tract given by the town in about a year, and, 'the surface is just being scratched. j Foresters from TVA, the State Forestry' Service, and National Forest Service, are co operating with the town in mapping, and, setting, out methods, of Cutting and Jogging the areas. " " ."'..'..; j The whole plan is being done along scien tific methods, and the logging helps improve the watershed, in that it gets matured trees out. The full-grown, matured trees absorb, end use more water than they conserve. A fully grown tree takes barrels of water out of the ground daily and turns it loose in the air through its branches. In fact, such a tree is a detriment to a watershed, instead of an asset. ' ' And as we have pointed out time and time again, the logging is being done far removed from where the present water supply comes, which does not in any way, affect the water for this community. It looks like there are two kinds of gold on the Waynesville watershed both timber and pure water. It is a big asset, and from the limber income, an exceedingly . profitable '..one. .

It was. not just a happen so, that deputies went out 24 hours later and captured a 600 gallon stilf along with several thousand gal lons of beer and mash. Deputy Kerley, and his associates have been in the business of confiscating stills many years, and ft takes time, and precision timing to make success ful raids. One just don't put on his coat and hat and run out and haul in stills. It is a dangerous job, but one in which the officers have been highly successful. This last 600-galloner was just one of several cap tured in the past several months. Looking Back Over The Years 15 YEARS AGO Waynesville' Public Library now has a sign on the door which reads: "Closed for lack of funds." Twenty-six sponsors are named by, civic organizations of Waynes ville and Canton to participate in the President's Ball to be held in Canton. Many people have expressed concern over the water shortage in New York City. ' While it is a problem of concern, there is not as much water used there during the holiday season as many might imagine. And neither do the people suffer from thirst. Our Neighbor Expands ; ' The, Smoky .Mountain Times, of Bryson City, blossomed out last week into a large standard size newspaper,' jumping from six columns to eight columns. The progressive Swain County newspaper, which uses as their slogan "Voice" of The Great Smokies in Western North Carolina" is owned, by Leroy Sossamon, and edited by Guy Paul. :.- -y:'; l he publisher has invested heavily l n machinery 'for the" publishing of the news paper, and Mr. Paul is giving his readers an ' interesting publication. v " Few people in Swain,1 or any other county, would . hardly realize the huge investment necessary to printing such a newspaper. One intricate Linotype machine costs well over $10,000, while a press large 'enough to print a standard newspaper, often exceeds even that figure. The other equipment comes equally as high. -; , While the Bryson City newspaper is above the average, in both news and adver tising,, we would judge that it will be a long, long time before the publisher has to pay in come tax from the venture. What we are trying to say is just this to publish a news paper today costs far more than the average person would imagine, and such as is the case in Bryson City, it is a matter of civic ; pride, and striving for town and county im provement to reap returns on tomorrow, in stead of today.

' :' There's nothing quite so com forting as to see smoke rising lazily from a chimney on a biting cold afternoon. The sun is slanting downward through a deep crim son expanse and . distant sounds come softly along to accompany the hurrying footsteps oif home-coming families. Somehow, you fenow that a welcome and warmth are togeth er in that house as you watch the curling smoke wreathe itself Into fantastic shapes and slowly disap pear in the approaching dusk. Recently a lady dropped her hand baic and Us contents flew in every direction. A youne man came hurriedly to her assistance and as he razed at the scattered articles, he remarked qnizxical ly: "Suv, lady, you didn't leave snythinff in your room when you came out, did you?" A young man had made a habit of parkien his car directly beneath his second-story room at tne noiei. Suddenly he moved it to another parking spot. When asked why, he replied; "Well, you see I have a bad habit of leaning against the screen and so if I should fall out I didn't want to hurt my new car."

(1) What the machine "detects" is Anxiety, so thai if there were a person who was neither ashamed of disloyalty nor afraid of detec tion, he could pass its tests With flying colors. (2) The victim of a neurotic "guilt complex" would probably shbtf anxiety in any test, however Innocent he is. C. C.

Arc parents the sole cause el delinquency? ' Answer: No. A child with IdeaL or even approximately Ideal par ents probably would not become delinquent under any circum stances, but as Dr. Marshal B. Clinard of the University of. Wis consin points out, there are "sec ondary community influences" whose effect should not be Ignored. Besides over-emphasis on crime on the radio and in movies, there is the too common public attitude of flouting the law, and the incon sistency of adults In demanding that boys and g,irls shall observe rules which they don't keep themselves. Will a "lie detector" uncover disloyalty?

Answer: No, say medical au thorities. PeopK who believe that any thingyou dislike is good for you may urge the practice 6n youk but fout instincts probably are wiser .than they are. Cold baths are fine if they make you "feel good," but some people are allergic to cold and may be made seriously ill by sudden chilling. 1 venture to sug gest that this may be partly due . to an emotional reaction based on the association of cold with being unloved and rejected. After all, we speak of people who love no one as "cold-hearted. Who do you think made Ine greatest contribution to the pro press of Hay wood County during 1949? Mrs. V. F.
