The Waynesville board of aldermen have
taken a forward step, in providing a pound
for stray and loose dogs. , '
Stray dogs on the streets of Waynesville, as
in all towns, constitute a hazard. The situa
tion has been getting worse as the town has (
grown, and at times, a pack of roving dogs
have almost chased pedestrians off the side
walks.' ' "
Police are constantly being called to handle
the situation, and their only alternative has
been to try and find the rightful owner, or
shoot the dog. 'Often, they have been the
source of criticism because they acted in what
they felt was the best interest of the public.
People who own dogs and allow them to
run at will on the streets, will now find the
dogs will be locked up in the pound, and kept
there until proper costs have been provided
for releasing the dogs. ;
The whole program is a forward step. It
will protect the. dogs, and it will also protect
the public from stray dogs, which are dang
erous, to say the least.
This newspaper is happy, that the program
got underway this early in the spring, since
the rabies season is near at hand, and that
and stray dogs make a dangerous combina
tion. ..

A Greater Junaluska
On Wednesday night a large number of
Methodist laymen, together with civic lead
ers, of the area from Canton to Murphy, will
get first-hand information about the expan
sion program of Lake Junaluska. The official
title; we believe, is "Greater Junaluska."
The meeting to be held here is similar to
those which have been held throughout the
South, and others which will follow this
mooting.
The whole plan is the Methodists through
their officials, have cited the need for $600,
000 in expanding facilities at Lake Junaluska.
They are asking the Southern Methodists to
contribute that amount in order to expand
the summer assembly facilities.
The series of meetings are a wonderful
piece of public relations for: the Lake, even
if the expansion program were not consider
ed. The meetings are creating a greater
interest in the Assembly, and unless we miss -our
guess, it will be the direct means of bring--ing
ihany more people here each season--begnntrtVttrf
this trle. -
It is encouraging to note frorn Luther W.
Vells, directorof the campaign, that "satis
factory progress" is beingrnade.
The program is not. one designed for many
years hence, but it1 is to be effective-immediately
in fact, it is already underway.
Several weeks ago the. trustees gave a con
tract for a new bridge across the dam,, and
the work has been completed on the West
Gate: On Wednesday a contract is to b&
let for the construction' of' modern motel
units, which will probably cost $75,000.'
The Terrace is to get some permanent im
provement's, as is the auditorium, and some
of the streets.. . ...
More than' half of the total sum being
sought is to go into the construction of a
modern year-round hotel on the highway.
The trustees have allocated $350,000 for this
single project.
AH this. program is not an Idle dream, but
a reality' coming true right before our eyes,
f Every person who has been invited, to this
meeting on Wednesday night will no dpubt
attend, and there receive further inspiration,
and information on "Greater Junaluska."
This program is of vital concern to all-Western
North Carolina, and it looks like the
new day for Junaluska is here. . ,
The Practical Method
The students of Central Elementary school,
as well as some others, are finding out that a
lot can be learned by making practical ex;
amples and small scale designs of countries,
and places around the world.
The Central Elementary students have just
completed a series of projects, ranging from
local studies of institutions to far-off Aus
tralia.
The students were given assignments in
their projects that will make a profound im
pression on them for life. One youngster who
had to paint a barn to show dairying in Wis
consin, as well as those who made models o
sheep for the plains of AifStralia, or the dikes
around tulip fields for Holland, will always
remember those things in connection with
the countries being studied. ;
The idea is not new, It is in keeping with
the visual education in which Haywood has
excelled. State educational leaders have long
recognized Haywood as a leader in this, new
er branch of study. At the same time, stu
dents in high schools throughout the county
are enjoying recording machines, andimuch
Mik is being made with" this machlrfe ill teach
ing public speaking, diction, and even ordin
ary conversations.
All this is a far step from the time when a
student could memorize a textbook and go
sailing through the grades. This is a day of
practical study, practical application of those
things needed in everyday life. What else is
education, but learning how to live and go
forward in the world?
