Monday Afternoon, March 26, 1931
Worth Hearing
On four different occasions this week-end,
Dr. J. H. Hilton, dean of agriculture of State
College, will address Haywood audiences. Dr.
Hilton is not a stranger to Haywood audi
ences. He has been here many times before,
and those who have heard him always go a
way inspired, and rejoicing that they took the
time to hear what this leader in the field of
agriculture has to say.
Dr. Hilton has a specific message for Hay
wood this year a message which every civic
leader, businessman, and agriculturist should
hear.
He is a recognized national authority as to
the position of agriculture in the present
world crisis. He presents his story in an in
teresting, and convincing manner. He is fact
ual, and has thought the entire plan through.
Dr. Hilton is well worth hearing, and we
trust Haywood citizens will do just that in
large numbers.
Dams And Damns
Council Edward E. Wflley,-' a gofcd Metho
dist and consequently not given to even mod
erate profanity, remarked during Council
meeting Monday night that something wasn't
"worth a tinker's dam." As soon as the words
esraped his lips, he looked around in apparent
embarrassment, apologized for having used
unseemly lpnguage and expressed gratifica
tion that no ladies were present.
Actually,' Mr. Willey san say "tinker's
dam" within the walls of Ginter Park Metho
dist Church and no harm will be done. A
tinker was a fellow who mended such things
as pans and kettles. His "dam" was a little
mound of wet clay which he put around the
hole in the pan or kettle to dam, or keep with
in bounds, the molten metal poured to fill the
hole. When the metal cooled, the clay was no
longer needed and was thrown away. Hence,
something that has no value is said to be as
worthless as a tinker's dam.
Mr. Willey's disdain for profanity is highly
commendable. But he can be assured that
there's not a dam (tinker's, that is) thing
wrong with saying tinker's dam. Even with
ladies, or a Methodist bishop, within hearing
distance.
, The Richmond Times-Dispatct
The announcement of last Thursday of the
expansion of Wellco Shoe Corporation, and
addition of 200 employees is big news for this
entire area.
Even more encouraging is the fact that 90
per cent of the workers will be women. This
it beems, is where we have a surplus of labor.
Often civic leaders here have dreamed of a
plant that would employ about 200 more wo
men. And right here on our front door step
the project developed.
And we used the word project correctly
here, because it was in the research depart
ment of the company, that a new type shoe
was developed, which necessitated the addi
tion of a new department.
This new shoe, which executives have
termed, as a "new conception" in shoes, has
caught the eye of shoe buyer after shoe buy
er. Some stores have ordered in several thous
and pairs even above the 10,000 mark for the
initial order. Yet the shoe itself is still kept
a secret, because of pending patent rights.
Before a buyer was shown samples, he was
sworn to secrecy; so were those who have
been working on the shoes. On May 6th the
veil will be pulled back, and the public shown
the new type shoes.
Plans are being made to produce about
4,000 pairs of the shoes daily, which is almost
equal to the production schedule of the fam
ous Foamtread shoes, which the company has
made for ten years.
And speaking of ten years, the company
will observe their 10th anniversary here in
June. The news of Thursday is indicative
of the progressive firm, and certainly a most
welcomed anniversary gift from Wellco to
the community.
Wellco is a vital economic factor in the
community, and their expansion creates with
in all of us a sincere feeling of happiness.

'Mount Junaluska' Is Official
Our neighbor The Waynesville Mountain
eer finds that official recognition has come to
"Mount Junaluska," a 5,071-foot eminence
west of Waynesville and Hazelwood, thanks
to the untiring efforts of Mr. H. C. Wilburn,
engineer and authority on the history of
Western North Carolina mountains. The peak,
in the Junaluska range, confers yet another
honor on the Cherokee statesman and war
riorwhose name of course already has been
given to the Lake Junaluska Assembly
Grounds.
The mountain stands sentinel above the
Assembly area itself. Mr. Wilburn, recalling
that the name is often "Jones Knob," locates
it in this wise: "Mount Junaluska stands one
mile west of the terminus of Junaluska ridge
. . . North Latitude, thirty-five degrees, thirty
minutes; West Longitude, eighty three, de
grees, two minutes, thirty seconds . . . ''
While some official surveys give it other
names, mountain authorities from the time of
Guyot to the first decade of the present cen
tury generally have given Junaluska his geo
logical due.
And that is proper. Some of Junaluska's
life is legend; the rest is history interwoven
with Andrew Jackson's victory of Horseshoe
Bend (where Junaluska saved the General's
life) and the "Trail of Tears" from which
Junaluska returned to salve the wounds of
Cherokee and white. Of course we are only
repeating the story so well told in Kermit
Hunter's Unto These Hills. It is good, never
theless, to find Junaluska's name firmly im
printed on one of the tallest of them.

' Answers Not even when you
consciously believe that you feel:
' it sincerely. Sympathy is funda-
' mentally putting yourself In the
other person's place, which means
that a great deal of whatever pain
' It brings you is really inspired by
your own imagined suffering. At
the same time it is likely to in
volve some condescension and su
, periority. (You may see this in the
evident annoyance with which
someone who it all ready to sym
pathize with you receives the
l sews that you are not as badly off
a he fhtoiht.) Nose the less the
world would be poorer without it
7 Are extroverts prone to

Should you "stand over" a
child at work?
Answer: No. You must obvious
ly give him some directions to be
gin with and be ready to help him
when he is "stuck" too badly. But
to watch and direct every move
that he makes will deprive him of
the feeling of achievement and
the practice in using his own wits
which he gets from doing things
all by himself. Do not be discour
aged if it seems to be more trouble
to let Johnny do your errands or
have Mary help you wash the
dishes than to do these chores
yourself. What they "learn by do
ing" matters more than how much
they get done.
Letters To Editor
STATUS OF BOYS AND THE
DRAFT
Editor The Mountaineer:
Parents of boys who become of
draft age in the near future are
much concerned about what these
boys should do about enlistment
or enrollment in college. Mr. Rik
ard, the Canton hii'li s "v,ool prin
cipal, and I are tryi' to tteep in
formation up to I.V" "bout the
matter and info-in students
parents of any rrv development
Certain rules )vte bien focmu-J
tated regarding the position of
boys in school. Some of these
rules we state simply and attempt
to interpret others as best we can.
Of course we make no attempt to
say what future rules may be.
1. All students, college and
high school, who have received
their draft call, may apply for a
thirty day postponement, this thir
ty day postponement to begin at
the end of the school year. This
ijives the student time after close
of school to decide.
2. Students who graduate from
high school may enroll in colleges
naving jiu iu during the summer
quarter beginning in June. So
long as he makes good in his col
lege work, including the ROTC
training, he will be allowed to re
main in college up to the four
years required for graduation. In
other words, enrollment in ROTP
takes s hoy out of selective serv
ice category.
3. The army provides no col
lege expense except issuing of uni
forms and military equipment.
4. ROTC Courses are substitut
ed for college electives. Otherwise
the college course will be unal
tered by the military training.
5. During the last two years of
college and ROTC the Army makes
some additional allowance. Infor
mation on this item should be se
cured from the college the student
is considering.
6. A student entering ROTC be
comes a member of the Reserve
Corps. At the end of four years he
snould be commissioned a Second
Lieutenant in the Reserve Corns
. Living quarters for ROTC
are not different from that of oth
er students
We sincerely hope that this in
formation will aid in clarifying the
position ot your hoy or boys In
tile draft provisions.
We shall welcome any inquiry of
parents about their boys who are
affected by the draft law
A should like to warn that fail
ure of a . student of military age to
make good In his school work au
tomatically makes him subject to
report to the draft board. There is
nothing we can do for him unless
he is willing to pay the price of
making a good record In school.
Below are a few of the colleges
naving kutu to which our stu
dents go in some numbers.

Saturday afternoon is ' a most
fascinating time to study human
nature. There is such a feeling of
home and safety in . watching
housewives proudly carrying huge
brown paper bags, containing sup
plies for the week-end. One can
visualize the happy family enjoy
ing their Sunday dinner after a
contemplative morning in Sunday
school and church.
You see the family that comes
to town only on Saturday to do
their "tradlne," and who are quite
content at the end of the day to
gather up their tired little flock
and wend their way back to the
security and peace of home. The
usual farm gossip between the men,
the jovial greetings and the hearty
goodbyes, Then comes the soft
silence that approaching dusk
brings with it. And, somehow, a
feeling of loneliness for the page
of life one has looked at on Satur
day afternoon.
Discontent is a mask that can
hide the beauty of a perfect face.
