NATIONAL EDITORIAL, I Ann -hA 141 3l W 1 ynnb Carolina lX Thursday Afternoon. August 23, 1951 Daily Bread By Rev. A. Purnell Bailey 'Lay up- for. yourselves treasures' in heaven!" Everyone is interested in a treasure. For some four hundred years treasure hunters have sought to find the sixty-eight million dollars in Spanish Gold which is said to have been on the galleon Clique' Florenca when it sank off the west coast of Scotland in 1588. : . ; -. Yet there is not a single bit of reliable evidence that the ship carried this valuable cargo. However, countless men-overpowered by the legend have risked their lives and their fortunes vainly attempt ing to find it. - , If men of the world will go to such ends for an earthly treasure how much" more should we risk our lites for the pearl of great price, "Lay' up for yourselves treasures in heaven!" 12th Birthday of REA The 12 short years which, REA has been established in Haywood county have passed -quickly. : The swift passing is only , equaled by the wide expansion, and new day which the ener gized electric lines into the every nook and coiner of this wide area has brought. We have covered Haywood from one end to the other; we have been into some of the most remote corners. But we are yet to go where we did not find that REA had already been there and had their lines rendering 24 hour service a day to the people of the area. ' The value of REA to the rural people can not be evaluated in dollars and cents. The people now served by REA unanimously point out that they fail to see how they Rot along without electricity before REA came their way. On Saurday the Haywood Electric Mem bership Corporation will hold their 12th an nual meeting here in Waynesville, and the re ports of the group will reveal progress and growth which few, if any would have dared wished for back 12 years ago.. Eased On Figures And Facts ' We Need Five Patrolmen The time sot for reducing the highway pal trol in Haywood is just a little more than a week off, and thus far, no official word to the contrary has been received from Col. J. R. Smith. ,-' ' .:': Col. Smith is making the . reduction on a basis of cold figures, arid not according to the r.eds of the people of Haywood. He told one Haywood official that the installation of large military centers in the state was neces sitating more men. It looks to -us that some of the 105 added by the legislature could go there Haywood did not get any of them. This county has made an unusual record in highway safety, and now because of the good record it appears he wants to penalize us and we believe in so doing it will create a means far the good record to be shattered. We have gone to the trouble to get some other '"Cold" figures as to the activity of our five Haywood patrolmen. Since these figures were issued from Col. Smith's office, he should be aware of what has been going on up here. Since Col. Smith plans to. transfer Pa trolman Bryan Baysden, we will start with his record for July. First he made 46 arrests -rthe highest in the district, and among the highest in the state. The area he works did not complain, but are happy that the situa- lion is being cleared of hazardous drivers. Those 4!i paid $206.50 in fines; $382.50 in court costs, and the patrolman traveled 4020 miles. All that during the month of July, and yet Col. Smith wants to abolish that office in Haywood. ... The other four patrolmen could not have added the 46 to their work during July. That within itself defeats any arguments which Col.. Smith can make for taking away a patrol man, stationed here. During. July Cpl. Smith made 29 arrests; Patrolman Dayton 35; Patrolman Joe Murrill for 21 days, had 14 arrests, and Patrolman Wooten 15 'arrests, that makes a total of 139 for the five patrolmen. The defendants paid $4,328.75 in fines, and an additional $1,921.83 in court'eosts. During July the five patrolmen traveled 15,681 miles. We have maintained all the while that Col. Smith was an asset to the State, Highway Pa trol, and we still feel he will see where there is a definite need for five active patrolmen in Haywood, and will rescind the original or der which reduces it to four, and thus undoing what so many civic loaders and officers have worked years .to maintain. Can't Start Too Soon While Highway Commissioner L. Dale Thrash would not name a specific date for building a road through Pigeon Gap on High way No. 276, he did Indicate here Monday "in the near future." 1! 'Needless to say, that short section of road is as dangerous as any in Western North Caro lina. . Too Many Counties About every two years, at budget making time, a general plan is suggested that some of the smaller counties of North Carolina be consolidated in order to save general expense. Along with this same line of thought, comes . the further suggestion that representation from the smaller counties often represent far fewer people in the Legislature than do thj representatives from larger centers of popu lation. Someone has figured that taking Haywood and Tyrell counties as examples, that the rep resentatives from the eastern county repre sents 5,048 people, while the Haywood repre sentative represents 37,680 people. Almost 7 to i. ; ; . . The arguments for consolidating the small er counties sounds, and looks fine on paper, but where is there a small county that would agree to such a move? Counties feel they are more or less established, and regardless of si.e prefer not to be disturbed. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND 'tf ; -!: . ' - M mm i h- fir) i i i .... in, i i i i i is. m i .V;;.. -. L.

Should members of a family cat together? Answer: Yes, if practicable, lor several reasons. For one thing, in dividual children will tend to have fewer eating problems if there is a family pattern for them to follow nothing does more to confuse a child than too much personal attention to his eating habits. But besides that, because eating is the basic human pleas ure, it helps greatly to cement the family ties if this pleasure Is habitually shared. For that rea son, bickering , and arguments should be barred at the tabic since they both destroy the pleas . we that eating together should involve, and tend seriously to Impair digestion.

King Feature SyniUaate, W) Is psychiatry "materialistic"? Answer: Not in any accurate sense of that word. , In fact, . Freudian psychiatry is outlawed by the Communists for the very reason that it undermines the Marxian philosophy by insisting no less strongly than religion does . that "Man does not live by bread alone." On the other hand, psy chiatry is not "idealistic" in the sense of holding that there can be any illness that is "purely mental." , For as most psychiatrists now ace it, mind and body are not separate and distinct, but different aspects of one organism, neither part of which can be damaged -or 4gnored , without harming the other. 4 3bUrDEr LIKE 4 BOUT A HALT-MOOR JU3, THE Wy CRUOHEY DESCRIBED ft TO MR.

Main ques tion being asked here is: Why is Bob Thompson of High Point boost ing Dr. Casper .Warren, for. Gov ernor instead, of Hubert Olive of Lexington? Olive is a more likely candidate than Warren. He has written some letters here and there regarding his possible' candidacy. He is a Baptist leader; and the prime muscle in Wake Forest's efforts to ward Winston-Salem. His home in Lexington is only a few milts from High Point. Thompson handled Clyde R. Hoey's publicity when Senator Hoey ran for Governor in 1936, Hubert Olive was Hoey's campaign manager. You would think that Thompson would lean to Olive, his old acquaintance and a next-door neighbor and a Baptist, instead of to Warren, whom he is asking you to write and urge to run. As a usual thing, publicity managers and campaing managers 'arc exceeding ly close. So-o-o, the fact that Thompson jumped away over to Charlotte and overlooks his next-door sidekick is attracting much more interest in several quarters here than the pos sible candidacy of Dr. Warren Put this down: Hubert OI almost certain to be a candidate for Governor next vear being up there fishing tit Dr. R. J. Kitchen's lodge near Sapphire. All in all, it was an interesting weekend in more ways than one. There were awkward situations aplenty. Ralph Fisher wasn't whol ly to blame and neither was the Governor. It's just this: when the Governor and his crew invade one of the provinces, excitement reigns, nerves i ingle, and there is suffici ent gossip to keep tongues wagging for several days afterward.

Miss Annei Al bright's mushroom exhibit was interesting." Miss Mary Ray: "I think the gar den scene was outstanding."

Open House, Believe it or not months Merry Christ! Child's Manners Reflect Oi By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D. WE Want bur children to have . good manners everywhere. While the reason for this wish foremost in our minds Is that our adult friends might think well of us, our chief concern should be for the likableness and character of our children. After all, good man ners bespeak one's consideration for the feelings and well-being of other persons, while the lack of good manners belie one's want of this consideration. Genuine good manners are not just veneer; they come from the heart. We can hardly hope, of course, to cultivate good manners in our children as a basic part of their attitude and conduct In relation to other people, without having In our own selves the very warp and Woof of that something which causes us to practice good man ners unawares all the time. And when we parents have the stuff of good manners in ourselves, we not only provide necessary ex amples to our children, but by virtue of the source of out good manners we win the abiding af fection and esteem of our chil dren, causing them to want to emulate us. In the long run, the . degree of affection and esteem between us and our children Is a true measure of how good our own manners are. ' Essence of Good Manners In the light of the foregoing, let us consider good manners at church. In the first place, the es sence of good manners can help , parents to win the willingness of their children to go .to church with them. What enn bs finer than for the- iHk' -family to go to - church togct. especially when the children ar; or. five? It dtamati, unity.
