First of all, the growing season for burley has , been exceptionally favorable. After the ling ering dry season at the time when burley is supposed to be re-set, the weather opened up, and has been favorable for the production of quality tobacco ever since. The main cause for jubilation is the price's which flue cured tobacco is bringing on the Georgia market. The 1951 prices are running almost $3' per hundred above the 1950 price. Based on the Haywood average of a two mil lion pounds, this would mean by comparison, somewhere in the neighborhood of $60,000 more for Haywood burley this year. Bringing it on down closer, that amount divided by the 2,000 burley growers in Hay wood, would mean about $300 extra per farmer. A sizeable increase. Let's hope that the 1951 burley crop makes as good a showing on the market as flue cur ed has thus far. pt -ears -g.'.ia.'.iiig Carotin i Hon Carotin wkV Moaday Afternoon, July 30, 1951 AiHappy Settlement It was joyous news that the two boards of aldermen of Waynesville and Hazelwood had reached a complete, and satisfactory agree ment over water-sewer matters. -When the contracts are formally signed Tuesday night, there will be closed an era of bitter battling back and forth over the price of the two utilities in which the towns were involved. '. The action of the two boards will meet with the approval of the citizenship at large, be cause everyone realizes that the towns have too many things in common to always be quarreling over issues which should be set tled in a peaceful, and business-like fashion. The boards have not announced the terms of settlement of the water bill, and sewer bill, which each town held against the other. Neither has the announcement been made as to the new rate for water which Waynesville sells to Hazelwood,' nor the charges Hazel wood will make for use of certain sewer lines to Waynesville. '''lit An advance study o the .terms, by this newaper, leads"us 'To'i'he" conclusio'n 'that' everyone got a fair and square deal, both as to the past, and for the future. We are confident that the citizens of the two towns will agree with us that the settle ment was fair throughout, When details are announced Tuesday night. We know we share the opinions of citizens of both towns that we are happy this matter was settled this side of expensive court ac tion, and once again, everything is down to a working level of harmony. The determination of the boards to see that an era of harmony between the two towns prevails should be participated in by all citizens. Two Safety Awards Two beautiful safety awards hang in two city halls in Haywood at Waynesville and at at Canton. . The awards were -presented in impressive ceremonies on Friday, when representatives of the State Highway Commission made the awards to the mayors of Waynesville and Canton for a perfect record on their streets as to fatal accidents during 1950. The awards are for towns of 5000 population, and over. Such awards are not easily attained, and there were only 16 such awards given in the state for 1950. : ; Waynesville had a perfect record for the years 1946, 1947, 1948, but had a casualty in 1949. The town officials, and police of the towns are making a determined effort to get an other award next year. Such a goal is well worthwhile, and one in which every citizen should actively participate. A Childish Attitude. .' ... We regret that Asheville still sees fit to drag the pigeon River road issue into their general discussion of a highway' program. The other day, when a group of Asheville civic leaders met to discuss a road proiect. the president of the Asheville Chamber of Jr Commerce had to inject remarks about the Pigeon River project. Remarks which would indicate . a spirit of continued jealousy throughout. We fail to see where they expect such a selfish attitude is going to get them. We had hoped they would take a broad attitude on all regional matters, and not act like stubborn children. It looks like our hopes are in vain, and they are going to keep right on refusing to act like grown-ups. The worst hail and rain storms in 35 years to hit some areas of Haywood reminds us once again, that much of the success of farm ing is still dependent upon Mother Nature. As a rule, Haywood is spared devastating storms. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND Good To Get Back The 100 Haywood citizens who left here Saturday morning for the 3,200-mile farm tour into lexas will no doubt come back en thused over the vastness of the southwest but firmly convinced that this is the garden spot ot the world. We have found that on the eight other simi lai trips, the majority of those making the tour thought the best part of the trip was get ting back to Haywood county.' By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist with it and these in turn grow but of the meanings its name has ac quired. Advertisers, for example, long since learned to make colors appealing by giving them names which suggest romance or social superiority, such as "ruby" red, or "royal" purple.

Aaswer: Yes, In the same sense la which a book written in French Is "dull" to a person who has only a smattering ot that language. For while aoieatists sometimes do use technical terms when they might use familiar ones, there are many scientific ideas for which ordinary English has no exact words, and for which the non-scientific read er must learn new terms if he is to understand discussions of them. The alternative is a "translation" like this column, and unfortu nately no translation can be 100 accurate because, except for such concrete words as "house" or "tree,B.ao two words in different languages convey exactly the tme meaning. writing be dull? Do colors affect your emotions? Answer: Probably not much all by themselves, says Dr. Benjamin J. Kouwer, Dutch psychologist. A light of one wave-length proba u, bly doas not arouse very different feelings than does one of another., ' The effect of a color on your emo tions depends largely on the ideas which you have come to associate (Copyright 1M1. King FmIofm Syndic, he.) Will a nursery school help a spoiled child? Answer: It might, if he is not too much retarded in emotional development to be capable of get ting on with other children. But it cannot cure him. A spoiled child is one who has or has bad a neu rotic mother, and the only way to help him is to help his mother to feel differently toward him and herself, and to treat him differ ently. Where a nursery school or its staff might be of the most use would be in leading the mother to get help for her own difficulties. Well-adjusted mothers do not have "spoiled children," and the only real cure for a child's emo tional problems is to solve his mother's.

Now they are studying closely a greatly Improved secondary road that is winging its way through the countryside northward from Burlington hard toward the Vir ginia line and Richmond. Reports are that this road is getting un usual treatment and can withstand heavy truck traffic. If Barnwell isn't careful, the folks of his district will soon be asking if the road is for regular chicken-and-egg traffic or for heavy duty trucks moving from Burlington to Richmond. COMMISSIONER COLTRANE? . . .. D. S, Coltrane came within an Inch of running for Commissioner of Agriculture in 1948 against L. Y. Ballentine, the present commis sioner who went in without opposi tion. For several weeks he kept Candidate Ballentine on tenter hooks as he toyed with the idea of running. If you recall, Dave Coltrane was Commissioner Kerr Scott's able as sistant from 1937 until Scott be came a candidate for Governor. It was he who carried on the detail which the commissioner despised, thus providing his boss ample op portunity to tour the State making countless speeches and laying the groundwork of acquaintances which paid o(T so handsomely in the campaign for Governor. When Scott stepped out as commissioner Coltrane filled the gap. Now talk abounds that Coltrane is being urged to oppose Ballen tine next spring. Although as as sistant director of the budget he receives $12,000' per annum, it is no secret that Dave Coltrane would like, to run. the Slate Agri culture Department officially as he did unofficially for so many years. It is too early to say what he will do, but the smoke is there. GRAHAM PITCHERS Where in thunderation are all those auto graphed photographs of Dr. Frank Graham coming from?

Refer ence is not made here to the roads exactly, but the stuff in them. They have found a rock quarry on Kerr Scott's farm in Alamance County; and it is being worked by interests of Nello Teer of Durham, one of the leading road contractors in this section of the State. If re ports that Teer has been getting rock from the Scott quarry for six months are true, then some of you dear readers have been riding on Scott stone ever since 'way last spring. Voice ol the People What do you think of the recre ational program now under consideration? Chief O. L. Sutton: "Should have trad it long ago. It's the kind of thing that pays for itseif in the way it keeps people out of trouble. If folks and I don't mean Just the young ones have a nice place to spend their evenings, they'll go there. And I'd like to see them have such a good time they'd be ready to go straight home after wards!" " MR. FANCHER AT HOME A, J. Fancher, who underwent a spinal operation at Bowman Grav Hospital in Winston-Salem has re turned to his home and is report ed "doing nicely". Mrs. Fancher accompanied her husband home. MRS. MATNEY IN HOSPITAL Mrs. Bronson . Matney is a pati ent at Victoria Hospital, Asheville, where she underwent a major op eration last Wednesday. - Mrs. Joe Reinertson and son, Bruce, have returned to their home on the Country Club Drive, after a visit to relatives in New Jersey. R. N. bamer, ir.: "I think it is an excellent idea and I would cer tainly like to see us exhaust every available resource to put. it across. Several of us as a committee in vestigated the possbiilities three years ago, with the aim of work ing out a program that would be of interest to persons of all ages. We were advised that we should have everything from checkers and chess to a swimming pool and ten nis courts, and the total installa tion cost would have run around $300,000. Annual maintenance would have come to another $20, 000 so we dropped the idea. But I'm still all for it, and I'd like to see some way of working it out." Mrs. Gordon Schenck: "Such a program would give a big lift to tourist business here, as well as of fering the local residents an op portunity for wholesome recrea tion. The Number One question we are asked here at the Chamber of Commerce is 'What can we do in Waynesville?' " Rev.

One day Big Sister got suspicious and in the middle of her conversation broke in with; "Mary, get off the line. Aren't you asham ed to be listening?' A highly in dignant voice heatedly replied: "I am not listening any such thing. A little white cloud trying to -outrun a sudden squall. Speaking of listening on the tele phone; Mrs. A's telephone was on a party line and she often surmised that her conversations were being shared by a third party. One day, while talking to her mother over the phone,, they were both trying to identify , a certain date. "I am sure, Mother," Mrs. A was saying, "that it was about June in 1949, along about the time I went to New York.'' Out of the clear came a third voice: "It was in 1949, the time you bought that brown suit you are so fond of." A single rose can express more thought than a thousand words.
