NATIONAL EDITORIAL assocITatn u Cnrabna i lukMI Monday Afternoon, April 9, 1931 One-Armed Bandit The su'nin.L; by President Truman of a bill outlawing slot-machine shipments in all states except tho:;e that specifically legalize them should do much to dry up vast sources of income for gamblers, gunmen and other shady characters. It is difficult to make an ac curate estimate of the I'm tune that accrues to the underworld from the manufacture,' opera-' tipn and protect inn .of one-armed bandits, but the Attorney CVneral of the United States has put it in the vieiniu of $1!,0()I),000,()()() a year no less th.-in one-tenth of the amount 'just voted by Cmi' ress in-its latest appropri ation bill. The new slot-machine law will strike hardi est at the use of the devices in officers' clubs and elsewhere on military bases, for the ban IS absolute on territory under Federal juris diction. Doubtless tlii;, in ws will not be greet ed with unmitigated enthusiasm by inhabi tants of military rest, rwitions who have found ta brief whirl of the spinning wheels a pleas ant if somewhat expensive diversion. It's fun, ..sometimes, for a soldier to throw away a few idollars in a futilv attempt to load his pockets .with silver; the trouble is that the clirnesjuuV 'quarters thus tossed away end upTin the cof 'fers of the underwork!, where they mount up to astonishing sums. Even the injury clone to the customer's poeketbook, grievous though it may be, is less alarming than the harm done by the creation of a vicious and unproductive industry devoted to the care and feeding of lot-machines. The one-armed bandit is bet Iter off dead, and it is to be hoped that some ,method can be found of killing it off not only Jat military bases but wherever it steals mon ey and breeds crime. i New York Herald Tribune. Thirty Short Years , Haywood's Burley industry has come a ilong ways in the past thirty years, according to the story on our front page last Thursday. At that time, the entire crop could be hauled in a wagfin. Now the crop is about two mil lion pounds each year, which means an in ,come of about a million dollars- And while there is not direct connection, we have a feeling that the poultry industry which is getting off to a good start in Hay wood will someday present just as startling a picture as the burley story. The announcement of the 1951 program of; Lake Junaluska Assembly assures us that it ; will be a potent "drawing card" for bringing people into this section' of the state. From the looks of the program which has just been published, it appears that again) many national figures will grace the platform of the Assembly. Besides the almost unlimited number of ! speakers, there will be wiany conferences, 1 and artists of renown. All this adds up to what begins to look like another banner season. Sylva Looks Ahead After experiencing some difficulties with an inadequate water system, and a meter less plan, the voters of Sylva by a vote of about 10 to 1 approved a $70,000 bond issue. The citizens of Sylva, by their action at the polls, will have a system that will be brought up to elate, and provide the town with an ade quate supply of water for a long time. The Mountaineer is sure the citizens of Sylva will always be happy of their decision of last Tuesday. We say this from the fact that Waynesville, long years ago, took a Simi lar step, and today, enjoys owning one of the best watersheds, and systems East of the Mississippi.

Tourist Edge " . . . People who feel called upon to ac count for North Carolina's jumping ahead in the tourist trade may be able to scrape up a lot of different explanations. "For our part we are giving credit, first, to North C&)liria's inspired ..and extra-competent National advertising program, and, sec ond, to Kermit Hunter's 'Unto These Hills'. . "North Carolina has seen to it that people all over the Nation have heard about North Carolina. The success of the State's advertis ing program is not only a boon to the State but it is a reproach to the 'practical' element which so long, and so bitterly opposed adver tising for tourists as a 'waste of money.'

Copper and nickel are in such demand for defense purposes, it appears, that changes may occur in some of the United States minor coinage. So readers should not be too surpris ed if the government asks them to accept wooden nickels as legal tender. Even that might be less bothersome if parking meters and telephone coin boxes re sponded than the war-time one-cent pieces of zinc-coated steel which may return to serve as "pennies''.

If your child is s!x on or be fore next October 1, then he can enter school this year. Each autumn school principals are put on the spot by ambitious parents who are sure their child is at least a semi-genius, and should enter school, regardless of the law. This is always embarrassing to teachers and school heads particularly if the request comes las it frequent ly does) from wives of school board members or friends. The law will not be changed bv this Legislature even though some school officials have express ed the opinion that a child should be allowed to enter school when he is old enough mentally.

Will keeping O "guilty secret" create nervou tension? Answer: Yes, and this regardless of how much chance there is of your being found out. If you have done something which you feel to be wrong, you can't help, uncon sciously expecting to be punished for lt, and will feel guilty and anxious as long as the offense goes undetected. But confessing to ease the strain may be cruel if the wrong is past and done with, and if knowing about it will 'cause needless pain to the person to whom you reveal It If you can not keep your past to yourself, get It "off your chest" to someone whom you won't hurt not to your wife or husband.

But neurosis in one or both partners is the commonest, if not the only cause of marital un happiness. In the first place, the neurotic is too much involved ia "success" help problem children? Answer: Yes, says John E. Moore of the State Home for Boys, Jamesburg, New Jersey: Emotional instability in a physi cally healthy child generally due to having lived in a home at mosphere of conflict may make him oversensitive and easily dis couraged. The "block" in his edu cation caused by this condition may be cleared up by assigning him to tasks which he can do well and will be praised for doing, since in this way, he can satisfy his "desperate need" for success of some kind. "Nothing succeeds like success", it Jamesburg's motto. " IMPERIAL FIFTH Last week, the Fifth ..Congressional District Democrats had a fine rally and banquet at the Sir Walter Hotel. The House delegation made the arrangements and did a bang-up job. Chairman of the Senate Fin ance Committee, J. Hampton Price, senator from Rockingham County, acted as master of ceremonies. Hamp Price presided with the same skill and ability he shows as a senator (there are few as able and influential. Reg Harris in troduced Bill Umstead as the next Governor. Umstead received a big ovation, and is obviously a favor ite with the working Democrats of the Imperial Fifth. Altogether, I the occasion was an outstanding one. The Democratic Party is in strong and enthusiastic hands in the Fifth. Voice of the People Do you think the citiwns of North Carolina would be justified In setting a time limit for the ses sions of the General Assembly? S. E. Tutor: "I think they should have a certain Ume.nmiL aua,4o what they have to do and get It over." Dr. Boyd Owen; "I think a time limit should be set by the people because more of the bickering and political horse trading, that has recently been in evidence, could certainly be done away with to a better advantage for both the peo ple at large and the representa tives themselves." A. H. DuBreuil: "I believe so. If there is a set time, more planning would be done ahead." Henry Gaddy: "I don't believe they would be. So many things come up at the last minute I think the Assembly should go on as long as is necessary to finish." LT GOV. -The various import ant committees of the two houses here have given the administra tion such a hard time during the past few weeks that emphasis in the primaries next year as far as the "in's"' are concerned may be on the Lieutenant Governor in stead of the Governor. The former presides over the Senate and names the chairmen of the com mittees. More and more it becomes apparent that the Lieutenant Gov ernor and the House Sneaker are more important, legislatively, than Ihe Governor himself. Vj SUPERLATIVES While it is always dangerous to deal in super Jatives, Sen. Julian AlLsbrook of Halifax County is frequently de scribed as one of the most con scientious members of the Legis lature. Among the wittiest of course.-is Sen. Rivers D. Johnson of Duplin. For the smooth ap proach and the adroit response Lt Gov. Pat Taylor of Wadesboro' ha no peer in this or anv other Leris lature. -.- - - 1 ' ' For influence over his fellow members, William B. Rodman oi Washington, N.

THE MAMMOTH CAVE H' - Rambling 'Roimji Bits OI Human Interest News By Frances Gilbert Frazier One afternoon, a group of ladies (friends of long standing) were chatting after a bridge game, and one of them laughingly suggested that they play a sort of "Truth AND Consequences". Nothing in the way of malice, of course, but Just to learn their defects as seen by intimate friends; with the idea of correcting faults they did not realize existed. In fifteen minutes, all of the ladies had one home mad. That is, all but one and as she was the hostess she could only stay, clean up the table and boil inwardly.
