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.

t Are The Poll Books Obsolete?
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..

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.

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.

a child to dislike him t least

Levin in Psychiatry. The facts on

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
