The citizens of White Oak arc becoming a little disturbed over the fact that they voted 1100 per cent for the rural' road program, and yet to date, have not had a foot of . puviru; done m their township. I It is easy to understand, thr feeling of tho citizens 01 mat community, lhoir resent rr.er.t.s are ju.- tilted. Their community is served by a road lead ing from CuVe Creek, and our. from Fine:; Creek. It is the Cuw Cn ok route which has been uo for s-i rrmcli d;.vurMon latc-lv. as nart cf the water-levt ! tuu'c to Yv.Tit. This pro posal is ont thing which has dc-byed the pav ing cf the present road. Hr hv.-ay officials that the new road would he far better, and serve the comrr.unitv more efficiently than the present route V,e share with the White Oak citizens that we hope the time is not too far off when they can ret their paved road - and have it extend ed on to Newport. It is a project the state is 1 due Haywood county since -lifel thirty hint; Sounds Like A Good Proposal A bill now pending in the Gpper)l Assem bly, if passed, would abolish an old distom handed down from England, whereby a state or municipality could not be sued except by consent. . ' " " , . Oddly enough, the bill originated in Ral eigh, was sponsored by the City of. Raleigh, and introduced by the senator from Wake county. ' ; Throughout the history of North Carolina there has existed a rule of law known gener ally as "government immunity'" from liability for injuries-and damages caused by the negli gence of municipal officials and employees when engaged in "governmental functions." The rule is a relic from the English common law when the principle was established that ' the King can do no wrong." For that reason the King was not required to respond for damages done by himself or agents. The records show that in numerous decis ions, the North Carolina Supreme Court has consistently held that in absence of a statute imposing liability, a city, Or town, is not liable for damages proximately caused by the neg ligence of the officers, employees and agents of the municipality while engaged in the per formance of the governmental jobs. Thus, while an individual injured by the negligence of a private individual, or a private corpora tion may sue and recover damages, the same individual is deprived of such a right when similar injuries are inflicted by employees of a governmental unit, while officially carry ing out their duties. The bill proposed that each municipality secure such liability insurance as to protect itself as would a private corporation. , Such liability insurance would be an add ed expense to the operation of a town, but at the same time, it would afford a protection which is not now available. It would also af ford the town and cities to fulfill a moral ob ligation, which is at present non-existent un der the laws of today. The bill has merit, and no doubt will re ceive favorable approval by the General Assembly. Theyll-Do It EveryTime - JZ fr""1? a r(L rt - TcCWVS BOOST-TRAP FRZS. GOES TO MRS.

An aftermath of Easter: She was a particularly popular young lady so it- wasn't at all surprising that she should receive three corsages; one a beautiful orchid;, one of lovely pink roses . . . and the oth er was a bunch of fragrant violets tied with a silver ribbon. It didn't take the young lady one minute to dtcide which corsage would have the honor of appearing on her coat when she went to church, She knew the senders of the or chid and of the roses simply phon ed in their order . . . but the vio lets were lovingly and carefully taken from a beloved garden by one who couldn't afford the hot house flowers . . . so the bunch of violets went proudly to church and the other two corsages were sent to a Child's hospital to carry on their errands of love. A worry carried in the heart, doubles In weight. She had done wonderfully well for a little four-year-old on Easter Sunday. What with all the excite ment of the new frock, Sunday school and about half way through church, the young lady found that Nature was demanding sleep so she put her head in her mother's lap neared the end, he; waked up the Captain Sarah Welch is outstand ing player as local girls win the annual Western Carolina Teachers College basketball tournament.

Last year Haywood farmers let about $300, 000 in cold cash, go down the drain. m- ' The loss came about when the farmers faged to plant their full allotment of burley. Apout 150 acres were not planted last year, which meant the substantial cash loss to the farmers. Down in Iron Duff the farmers planted 100 per cent their allotment, and realized a nice profit from their crop. This year, with a 12 per cent increase in acreage, it is important that every acre pos sible be planted. 3f someone offered Haywood farmers $300, 000 a year in an agricultural project, and then failed to pay-off, there would be a great cry of remorse. Vet, under the burley plan, the same principle applies when the full acreage is not utilized. With all indications pointing to another good year, Haywood .farmers should make every effort to utilize the full acreage allot ments to the fullest The People's Choice Last week when 'I'd Climb the Highest Mountain' was shown at the Marion theatre the building was packed to capacity. This was the largest crowd we ever remember attend ing any one show in Marion. This was signif icant. It illustrates a truth worth knowing. For this picture was on a higher plane than most modern movies. As a matter of fact it was a wholesome &hjiwfqr gnyons ; or any je group to sec. j Does this not prove that the public does sometimes show a preference for clean, worthwhile entertainment? We would like to call this to the attention of writers, producers and any others who sometimes present cheap, sensational articles, stories and entertainment with the excuse that these appeal to more people and conse quently are more successful financially. If we cater to those of the lower type, possibly it is sometimes, because we have no other choice. Marion Progress. Henry Francis sows lespedeza sred on top of 10 Inches of snow. Voice of the People What April Fool prank played on you do you remember most vividly? A Good Sign We feel it significant that there were so few complaints made to the Board of Equal ization and review this past week. The commissioners sat all week to hear complaints of inequalities in taxation. What few complaints came to it were for the most part due to clerical errors, '-and readily ad justable right then and there. " This incident did not make big headlines in the news, yet we feel it is important, and is indicative of the apparent satisfaction which exists in Haywood. MONEY The Drwtirent of Revenue has Imn U cJ down its es timate of 1951 revenue. Conimis stoncr Eugene Sim-? pTCctrc'.s that the Stale will col'tct. almost 157 million dollars. This is about ten million more than was estimated at the beginning of the Legislature. It appears there will be a 14 mil lion carryover from the prese". fiscal year. If so, there will be available for this Legislature to spend approximately 34 million ex tra dollars over the next two years without raising taxes. This con firms the predictions made early in the session that no new taxes would be needed to continue the progress and services of the State. The budget will be big but it will balance without more taxation. Thank the legislature for that. The 34 million extra is only four million short of the added amount asked for by the Governor. Bureau last week came out with its "Coming Events in North Caro lina". And, beginning with the $10,000 PGA Open Golf Tourna ment in Wilmington on April 1 and ending with the Carolinas Carousel Parade (Christmas opening) in Charlotte on November 15, there will be something or some things going on every day from April Fool's Day until the middle of November.

Should child problems bo treated early? COMPLAINT DEPT. American! people as a whole like to do a lit tle griping, complaining, and boo ing of the umpire. Since the dec laration of a national emergency on December 16, problems of small business have increased. The solu tion of these problems is exacting and requires continuous study and investigation. For this reason, the House Small Business Committee within the next five weeks will hold conferences at various locations all over the nation in an effort to de termine what is causing the wor ries, uncertainties, and griping on the part of small business. One of these meetings will be held at the Sir Walter in Raleigh on March 30 at 10 o'clock. This will be the only conference for North and South Carolina. From Raleigh, the hearers seven Con gressmenwill move to Charles ton, W. Va. Among the subjects scheduled i or investigation are: effect of price contorls and rationing, retail ana wnoiesaie distnbut on ninni utilization, nrumcial assistance scarce materials, essential civilian supplies, and war contracts.

Claude Walker: "I've always been sick on April Fool's day." spend each day during the next eight months attending some spe cial event. All of which naturally leads one to the idea that a good slogan for our North Carolina auto mobile tags might be; "Always Something Doing". Or, maybe, "Daily Doing Something". ' Slogans like these might be just a little misleading to out-ot-Stat-ers, but Tar Heels would get the drift at once, It is said there are sections in Eastern North Carolina where you can go and yell right loud three times and they .will throw a barbecue for you. We are getting that way about forming as sociations and ' holding annual meetings. Mrs. Carl Mundy: "I suppose the soap in the candy when I was about eight or nine years old. A prank played on me by my broth er, of course." J. E. Massie: "The time some prankster called at midnight to say he had lost his billfold in the the atre and when I got there said, 'April Fool'."

Vo u.v looking for the Missing Link in Delaware. That State has no caves. ;t What's so romantic about the South Seas? On many of its atolls, Factogrophs reveal, the only living mammals are rats. Ned Howell; "The time I made a trip to Maggie in answer to a call to fix a flat tire and when I got there, there wasn't a soul in sight." Bosnia-Herzegovina, in Yugo slavia, has about 2,000,000 people. Answer: ' Yes, "says Elizabeth Replogle in Understanding the Child. The head'of a large child guidance center is reported as stating that ' "lor a pre-schoot child, it takes less than six months to correct a pfoblem.-find. some times even . one treatment is enough. But It takes nine months for the work "to be done fn a six to eight-year-old child, a year to , a year and a half to help the child between eight and adolescence, and two to fouror more years to help the adolescent with his prob lem if then". Yet the difficulty could probably have been avoided if the parents fiad'h&d enough patience, understanding and love. Will hypnosis give you self confidence? Answer: Not really. The seem ing confidence you may get from "suggestion", hypnotic or other wise, is not In yourself but in tfie person from whom the suggestion come. II someone tells you you have nothing to fear, you will be fearless just as long as you believe Can you think without words? Answer: Not .logically or "ab stractly". AH the higher mental processes depend on your being able to attach verbal "labels" to your experiences and sensations. For example, j-ou must know the word 'anxietypr n equiva lent) to be able toShink clearly about the 'cause and nature of emotional disturbances.
