NATION A I I DITORIA l', A$'sbChATJON Breaking Ground Tomorrow morning a group of civic ieaders from this area will go to Heintooga ridge and there in a brief, but effective ceremony, form ally start the excavation of the 6 -mile sec tion of the Blue Ridge Parkway from Black Camp Gap to Heintooga. This is the first of two links that will en able motorists to go from Soco Gap to Hein tooga, via Wolf Laurel and Black Camp Gap over a paved road. Trese two projects have been at the top of a "badly needed list" here for many, many years. Now that work is being resumed after curtailment during the war, reopens a new day and a new era for the entire area. This caution should be explained right here, and that is a road like the Parkway can not be built overnight in rugged country such as one finds in the Heintooga 'area. In fact, the contractor has well over a year to do the work. The fact that .the work is actually underway is the big news; its completion will be another glorious day. Monday Afternoon, June 12, 1950 . Kinda Short On Population The reaction to the official census figures for Hay wo6d and the four incorporated towns of the county was about like the young wo man who called the bank and asked the a mount of her checking account. When told, she gasped, and them mumbled'. "I can't argue, but it ain't as high as I had wishfully thought." , The citizens of Haywood, and the towns, had been doing some wishful thinking. But from the official figures, it now, appears that the thinking was overly optimistic. The Mountaineer sees no reason to be dAvncast, or blue, because, after all, it is not im number of people tKat make a' good com- musity, but the quality of people. We can console ourselves on the fact that what we fail to have in quantity, we more than make up for in high quality. . Wednesday Is Flag Day ' The American public hears so much about this day and that week that it takes some thing unusually good to make more than a ripple in their everyday thinking to get a "day" observed. ' Down through the years, June 14th has been set aside as Flag Day. For the most part the occasion is observed by the public dis playing of the colors on the Main Street, and sometimes a public gathering of patriotic souls,. The American people are patriotic when the nation is at war, but as soon as the shoot ing stops, the average persons shelves their patriotism until "needed." , Another thing that is hard to understand, is how few people understand, and practice the correct methods and means of respecting and displaying the flag. If you are not absolutely sure that you know, then we suggest that you write the Marine Recruiting Corps, Asheville, and get a copy of the 32-page colorful booklet that tells the story in easy understandable lan guage. In the meantime, this Flag Day of 1950 is a good time to begin to learn and put into practice, something about the flag. They'll Do It Every Time : . . . . AKO WEttF TSAGS'S SOME OrUi5 WAS?

The members of the Waynesville " Junior Chamber of Commerce have felt .for- some time that too l'pewcM are'taking part'irr elections. -The energetic organization prior to tie election urged people to register and vote. . Now that the primary is history, the organ ization has compiled it table which shows that only 47 per cent of all the registered Demo crats in Haywood voted on May 27th. Some precincts voted as few as 22 per cent of the number registered. ; V" 'The precincts hat held new registrations during the past few weeks showed a much higher percentage of voting thao did the others. This is proof that there are many; names on the poll books that should come off. In many cases the books need revising, "and brought up to date. . ., . , . . ! Here in wiynesville, after a jecent regist ration, the precinct showed that 82 per cent 'voted, as compared with 49 per cent in a simi lar precinct where there was not a new registration. A difference of 33 per cent. Would Ihii rheaft that'a third of!the names on our poll books are obsolete? jit appears that the Jaycees have a project that is worthy of consideration in following .through in a rigid maner. Certainly it is time ly, and from the figures presented, it looks like a good argument for action..

A Jarge number of scenic views, many never published before, will be used through out the season. r The publishers are using this means of try ing to get the idea across that we have many things right here in Haywood that the people who live here year in and year out do not al ways know and fully appreciate. The page is designed to take care of just that, and at the same time acquaint our thousands of visitors of what we have to en joy within our boundary.

He never stopped talking for five minutes and when he did stop for breath, the visitor broke in: "Thanks for your hospitality.

Capital Letters By EULA NIXON GREENWOOD Editor's note -The views and opinions expressed in this column are those of the author, and not necessarily those of this newspaper.. Pisgah Coming Back . Not so many years ago Pisgah was perhaps the most publicized peak in Western North Carolina outside of Mt. Mitchell. As the Pis gah road became worn and wash-boardy, and paved roads were built to other scenic spots, Pisgah fell behind as an attraction. Now comes the news that the road to the parking area on Pisgah has been worked, and many a rough spot smoothed over. Now we expect many a person will go back to see the views from lofty Pisgah. COLORED FOLKS The Ne groes of North Carolina still have to associate . with their, white friends and they should not' per mit this moment of new-found re dom on the political front to in jure their good relations with the white folks. They may, as some people profess to .believe, control the balance of power on political matters, but education is slow and the road to racial equality In the South is still long, troublesome, and full of rocks, Haste and im patience among the Negroes will only serve to make this road long er nd more difficult to travel. tMIDDnD AC VKl ID iA I Kin X'By LAWRENCE GOULD f i w IWWU HlllU Consulting Psychologiat, It gambling an "addiction"? deeper and yet simpler explana tion than the sexual one. For at first, the,mother appears to a baby as the "giver"-r-of food and of love while the father is the "de priver," by claiming a share of mother's company and affection. Only as a child begins to realize that father, too, may be a source of love and protection does he start to love him.',"' Answer: Yes, says Dr. Ralph R. Greenson in the psychoanalytic magazine, American Imago. It is like vther addictions Kidktk(ti to opium, for example in that it gratifies for the time being the desire to regaia the feeling of om nipotence we all had as. babies. For if you have Luck or Fate en your side, there would seem to be no limit to your power to make your wishes come true, and the - thrill this feeling tires you may be more than jrou can resist Dr. Greenson believes only psycho analysis can make the gambler re alize that he's living in a childish dream-world. I it natural for a child to love its father? Answer: It's more natural for a child to dislike him t least to besin with writes Dr. A. J. Levin in Psychiatry. The facts on which Freud based his theory of the "Oedipus Complex" have a Do many adolescents fear death? Answer; Quite unfounded fear of dying is far from uncommon In teen-agers and may consciously be based on real or imaginary "symptoms," or the actual death of someone whom they know well. The real basis of the fear, how ever, is a sense of guilt at th, awakening of desires which they have been taught to regard as wrong and shameful and for which unconsciously they expect 1 to be punished. As they learn to accept and control these, the fear "wears off." KNOWS HIS SIGNAL About 35 years ago over at the University of North Carolina, a young guy learned his football signals. His name was Graham A. Barden. They called Mm "Hap", and he knew his way around on the gridiron. Now back to an incident of last fall. John L. Lewis' coal-miners were on strike, thousands of families were eold, and industry was throt tled. Finally; 'Uncle Sam "Called them back to work and asked Lew is to dp the same. He called in a loud voice. The miners didn't budge. .The Government, was all set to throw a! back-breaking fine at the union. However, the judge decided that proof that Czar Lew Is gave the miners secret signals to stay out of the pits was lack ing. The consensus of thousands of poeple is, nevertheless, that Lewis while giving lip service to Uncle Sam used a wwd combination or a key word to let the miners know he was only kidding when he call ed. ; . Congressman1 Hap Barden is the new chairman of the committee gently beckoning to Mr. Lewis to come and sit with them.

This time the university award ed her a 50-year degree, in cele bration f the golden graduation anniversary of the Tulane Class of 1900; Thirty classmates of Mis? Reed of the original class of 1S8 mem bers marched in the cap and gown ed academic procession and were awarded their second degrees from Dr. Rufus C. Harris, Tujane presi dent. " Following the morning exercises, the, entire class was honored at a luncheon held at the student cent Lewis may be subpoenaed for some sharp and . searching questions. Barden knows his signals and if his committee can prove that Lew is, indulged in the fine art of call ing them, both union and eyebrows are in for trouble.
