Played Down And Played Up
Enough paper has been used in printing
stories about an $8,000 mink coat that was
grown in the influence department of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation to cover
every billboard surface in the nation. Maybe
the stories were in order.
.But it is amazing how the papers will play
up a deal covered with an $8,000 mink coat
and play down an eighty-seven million dollar
railroad deal.
' And when it comes to making poor old
Uncle Sam poorer, the brand of politics nat
ters little. Jesse Jones, as long as he played
ball with the big boys was thought to be a
mighty good fellow by the tycoons Republican
or Democratic. It is a bit strange why an in
vestigating committee would surpass the $87
million tune played by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad back in th forties. That was
in 1947 when the Republicans were in com
mand in Congress.
' Somebody chose to overlook 87 million
dollars, and now that same somebody is yell
ihg and howling about an 08,000 mink coat,
presumably rrtariq availphfc tf intlonrp j
iSght people. - - .: ?
i Senator Harry Byrd, exalted chieftan of
the economic royalists, comes along and joins
hands with the gang to kill off the Recon
struction Finance Corporation. The ole Vir
ginia Byrd could render his country a service
by ferreting out the crooks and restoring the
RFC to a dependable agency.
The RFC is' just as important to. thousands
Jf little businesses today as it ever was to
ig business, including Jesse Jones, his hench
men and his home town of Houston. And
Mr. Byrd should remember that the RFC
qould be needed again by the big boys. But
it is assumed he would re-establish it for
them, (if necessary) leaving the little fellow
to flounder during the meantime. The Wil

Some News Not Fit To Print
We do not recall -a single instance during
the past 21 years, where a judge of superior
cc urt has cleared the Haywood county court
room of spectators during a' trial. This was
done Thursday afternoon when Judge J. C.
Rudisill made such an order prior to starting
the trial of a man charged with incest.
We hasten to say right here, that we admire
Judge Rudisill for his action, because the. very
nature of the case to be tried was not fit for
the public to hear.
There are many newspapers that thrive on
such sensational cases, and would have cher
ished the opportunity afforded by Judge
Rudisill that the trial was open to the press.
The Mountaineer looks on the matter just
as Judge Rudisill. The sound facts in the case
were not fit for the public to hear, according
to his ruling, and in our opinion, the same
facts were not fit to read.
This newspaper goes to great effort and ex
pense to give full coverage of Haywood
county news. This is evidenced twice each
week, as our editions come from the press.
Last week, for example, we published 36
pages crammed with Hay wood news.
In this particular instance, we are not going
to ignore the news, but as always, have given
first consideration to the some 20,000 readers
of this newspaper. We publish a newspaper
that every member of the family can read,
and derive pleasure and much factual infor
mation. We like to think of our newspaper as
being of such character that it can be read
aloud in the family circle.
The Mountaineer prints court news just as
thoroughly as we deem necessary to give es
sential facts. This we shall continue to do.
However, when it comes to giving the vivid
facts Of some of the sexual cases which from
time to time come before the courts, we shall
continue to draw the line of giving the vivid
details.
One great editor orice said that he would
print anything the Lord let man do. The edi
tor credited with making that , statement
achieved fame, and a fortune. As for our part,
we hold a different opinion, and are glad that
one of our superior court judges Judge
Rudisill holds a similar view about his
court.

An Important Election
Tuesday, the citizens of Waynesville will
elect a mayor and a 3-member board of alder
merThis is the first election- forltoWn offic
ials in over four years, and the first since the
incorporate limits of the town were extended
as to include East Waynesville, Aliens Creek,
Dellwood Road, Country Club, Sulphur
Springs, and some of Ninevah section.
This is also the first time that the town has
had two voting precincts.
This town election, like aJ.1 other elections
in which officers are named, is an important
one for the community. The men elected
Tuesday will be charged with the responsibiL
ity of handling the affairs of the town which
is a big business. With the light and water
departments alone, the town does a big busi
ness, and an important business.
It is essential, and very important that
every citizen who is qualified to vote, exercise
that right on Tuesday.
The names of 11 men appear on the ballot
two candidates for mayor, and nine candi
dates for the board of aldermen.
The action' of the voters on Tuesday is of
far-reaching importance, and one of the most
important of all, is for everyone to vote.

A TIMELY WARNING "
Editor The Mountaineer:
The citizens of this country can
do much to relieve the anticipated
unprecedented burden upon trans
portation this coming fall and win

physical discomfort and inconveni
ence if they will lay in the winter's
supply of fuel now during the sum-

you will pass the suggestion on to
the public through the media of
your paper. ,

schools on a par with those attend
ed by white children.
Building of schoolhouses was
left entirely, to ;the counties until
1949 when the State pitched in
with $25,000,000 from the Legisla
ture and. another $25,000,000 from
bonds made available at the same
itme we voted on rural road con
struction and improvement.
Present legal trend is not t
force whites and Negroes to go to
the same school, but to make the
schools "separate but equal". .
Majority but not a" oi the
Negro schoolhouses built by the
counties are a disgrace when com
pared with those constructed for
the whites. To make these plants
equal will cost an estimated $50,
000,000. If the counties are not able
to do it, the State will have to take
this 6ver as it has roads, teachers'
salaries, and other county respon
sibilities during the past 20 years.
Should the State assume com
plete responsibility for building
and maintaining all schoolhouses,
one of three things or a combin
ation of the three must occur: a
sharp hike in sales tax; an increase
in the State income tax; or a State
tax on land. '- " - - -" -

THB healthy baby who has
grown adapted to a regular feed
ing' and sleeping schedule,
whether by his own choice or
otherwise, soon likes the rhythm
of regularity and enjoys going to
bed. . , .
But there comes a time at the
age of two or three or earlier
when he may not be so happy at
going oft to bed when all the in
teresting things he can see, hear,
and do are so fascinating to him.
Even so, his clever parents may
lure him off to bed happily. A
short period of his quiet play with
blocks or listening to stories read
or told, In case his parents have
a good imagination and persua
sive skills, may render it rather
easy for them to lure him off to
bed happily. Yet the little child

go to bed" and backs up this
declaration with overt resistance.
' Right Suggestion
Suppose you are the mother of
this child. What should you do?
Don't spank him to make him go

and carry him there. Even then
you might by hitting on the right
