Inspiration, Hope and Faith Beginning Wednesday evening, there will be a series of three Easter Union Services in town. All churches are participating, and the combined choirs will give a program of Easter Music throughout the series. It is well that the community band to gether on such an occasion and worship to gether. It is a splendid idea, and one that is well worthwhile. Climaxing the Easter services will be the usual sunrise services at the Cherokee, Mountainside Theater and Lake Junaluska. Both services have in the past attracted large crowds who attended the sunrise ser vices, and worshiped in the early dawn of Easter morning. Those who attend any of these services can look forward to renewed inspiration, a deeper faith, and a greater hope for the to morrow. A Big Bargain For The Stale Among the several hundred bills destined to come to the attention of the General As sembly is one which would cancel a state loan of $25,000 for the construction of the Indian Village at Cherokee. A House committee has passed favorably on the bill, and indications are that it will go all the way to enactment. The measure is being backed by the De partment of Conservation and Development, which has as its duties, among other things, the publicizing of the State of North Caro lina. The Department takes the position that the Cherokee Historical Society, in main taining an information bureau from May until October, is rendering to the entire state, a service which the state itself could not duplicate. The information bureau, with a staff of five or more persons, right on the edge of the Park, is a natural location for a visitor en tering the.state there to stop and seek in formation. The information bureau deals with anything pertinent to the State of North Carolina. Those of us here in Hay wood know that time and time again the Cherokee bureau has made reservations for scores of visitors from their office. The Cherokee Historical Society is spend ing many thousands of dollars in maintain ing that bureau, and since it opens long be fore the Drama, and remains open 60 days after the drama closes is indicative that it is not just a bureau set aside for the Drama. Those in charge of maintaining the bureau have found the importance of its existence, and for several years kept the bureau open for the benefit of the visitors. , The State of North Carolina will be getting one of its best bargains to cancel the $25,000 loan in return for the services rendered by the Cherokee information bureau. We trust that the members of the General Assembly see the wisdom of the measure and pass it without fail. Here's Some Proof Bart Leipor's optimistic prediction that early travel in this area will break all rec ords, is in.keeping with the*experiences of Eastern Carolina's early spring flower shows. Mr. Leiper made the prediction for West ern North Carolina after spending 10 days at the National Travel Show in Chicago. Right in the heels of his statement here lust week, comes official reports from the gardens of eastern North and South Caro lina that attendance records are being shat tered right and left. Last week saw the largest crowds ever to visit that area, and predictions are that by Easter the records of all times will be shat tered. One garden alone reported 13,000 in a two week "iod. This is indicative that America is definite ly on wheels, and are going places. But the fact remains, that they are going to such places that keep their names before the traveler. The travel customers are plentiful; they are definitely on the move. And The Moun taineer is among that group that definitely believes that the season here can be started earlier, and extended later. There are some who disagree to this belief; and we respect their opinion, however, until it has been giv en a fair trial, we are still of the opinion that this area can enjoy just as long a tourist sea son as we want. Heroine of America's Barnyard A certain bird which we rate high among nature's gifts to man has figured in two re cent dispatches. From the University of Florida comes word that the Rockerfeller Foundation has made a grant of $6,000 for a two-year study of hens. It is for research in ecology, that branch of biology which deals with mutual relationships among organisms and between them and their environment. One aim will be to ascertain if there is any social order among hens. There seems to be some sort of heirarchy indicated by the peck ing system, in which those of higher stand ing peck those below 'em. A curious student might perhaps perceive an analogy between this and practices in some human fields. But enough of that. We leave it to the scientists who are going to conduct an investigation. A matter of more down-to-earth interest was that item from, St. Louis, reporting a meeting of the National Farm Chemurgic Council. Scientists there paid a lofty tribute to the hen. They said if all farm creatures were as efficient producers as the hen Ameri cans would never have to worry about eat ing well. # Forty years ago the average hen turned out 87 eggs a year. Today that average bird would feel ashamed of herself if she didn't come up with 194 of 'em. And she has man aged to turn in this performance with less feed. The chicken has also increased its meat producing efficiency about one-fourth. It can grow to the kitchen size in less time. Of course, man's selfish interest in poultry progress has been the main factor in this hen improvement business, through more effec tive breeding, feeding and health methods. Still, it must be conceded that the hen has cooperated, adapting itself to the march of progress. If she had been a cantankerous creature, unresponsive to human science, there would be fewer eggs and less fried I chicken available, and you'd be paying a stif fer price. Thanks be, the hen is up to scratch. Voice of the People What do vou think of the bill that was passed by the State Legis lature permitting closed sessions of the Appropriations Committee and its subcommittees? f rank M. I>avl??I can answer this best with a comparison to the ! Haywood County Board of Com- j missioners. When the current Board took oiTice, they passed a resolution to do all business in public. We have found this is the only way to eliminate suspicion and criticism. The people understand better how the Board works, I am j sure. C. C. Francis?You always have less trouble if you let the people | know what you're doing. You've , got to face the music sometime | and it's better to let the people know what you're doing from the beginning. Glenn W. Brown?My first reac tion to the bill is that it was un- j wise. Generally, the public is en titled to know the facts. Mike Pizzuto ? Members of the | Legislature are paid by the pub lic and the people should be en titled to know what the lawmakers are doing at all times. DRY ICE Looking Back Over The Years 15 YEARS AGO Miss Anne Plott Albright, dean of women of W.C.T.C., accepts an inviation to attend the seventh summer session on international law at the University of Michigan this summer. Miss Betsey Lane Quinlan re turns to her home after spending the winter in Daytona Beach and Miami Beach. Betty Jo Brown, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Brown, gives party on her birthday. Mr. and Mrs. James R. Plott and two children of Flag Pond, Tenn., spend welcend with the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Plott | at Maggie. 10 YEARS AGO E. C. Wagenfeld is named per sonnel and training officer of civil ian defense for this area. Smoky Mountain Trailways bus line opens station in Hazelwood. William Hannah, II, receives an appointment to enter the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis in July. Mrs. S. H. Bushnell goes to New Bern to visit her son and daughter in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Bushnell, Jr. 5 YEARS AGO Three hundred and fifty people attend Easter Sunrise service at Lake Junaluska. Kerr Scott visits Haywood Coun ty?says he is pleased with cam j paign. Floridians give Sam Queen and his musicians and square dancers a warm welcome. Miss Margaret Corbin is bride of Sam Gartner. L. G. Goldsworthy leaves for Chicago where he has accepted a position with the Aladdin Mantle I Lamp Company. Views of Other Editors AREA OF AGREEMENT Harry Truman has said some1 hard things about the press dur-1 ing his administration. And the press has said some pretty hard j things about him. Both, however, should be able to agree on his final conclusion that one thing which greatly serves safety in democracy is a people constantly and clearly informed about the doings of their President in the press. At his final press conference, he mentioned some differences with the press, but added: "But in spite of these differences. I want to make it plain that I think it is important for our dem ocratic system of government that every medium of communication between the citizens and their government, particularly the Pres ident. be kept open as far as pos sible. "This kind of news conference where reporters can ask any kind of question thev dream of?direct j 'v to the President of the United ! States?illustrates how strong and I how vital our democracy is. There is no other country in the world where the chief of state submits to such unlimited questioning." This conclusion of a President who had his share of hard hand ling by the press deserves the at tention not only of all Presidents, but all other executives, and above all of all the people whose safety under government is in direct ratio to their free information about it. ?Raleigh News and Observer. on walls and footlo'ckers. ?The Sanford Herald. THE TRUMAN LIBRARY President Truman's eagerness to house his paoei-s in a $1,500,000 library to be constructed at Grand view. Mo., is ontirely understand able. His Administration has been one of the most controversial since Andrew Jackson's, and the Presi dent naturally believes that if the whole story is told it will rebound I to his credit. The preservation of bis papers, therefore, is ,a major concern for him. as, indeed, it should be for all persons interest ed in the historv of this era. It may be regretted that Mr. Truman did not choose to place the papers I in the Librarv of Congress, the I Universitv ot Missouri or some oth er established institution, but it seems to be the custom of late for a President to wish to have his I own repository, and we hope the campaign to raise the funds will be successful. President Truman is on record, fortunately, against the sequester ing bv departing office holders of "official oaoers" as contrasted with "personal papers". In some re spects, almost all the papers in his possession, except family letters and the like, might be classified as "official." for they relate in some way to the business of the Presi dency. There is, however, a dis tinction between presidential pap ers and the papers of a lesser of ficial. An assistant secretary of a I department for example, could | properly claim only a handful of ! papers as "personal". His files must be It ft in the department for use by successor and by other offi cers concerned with the business of his agency. A President, however, need not | be expected to leave a great many , papers for his successor, for many [of them deal with political matters. His working papers are generally I the property anyway of the various ' agencies, including the State De partment. the Budget Bureau and the National Security Council. These documents belong to the Government and are the proper ! concern of the incoming Chief Executive. More than five years ago, Mr. Truman said that these 1 official papers should be left with the Government and not be taken awav by Cabinet members and oth er Federal officials when they re tire to private life. ?The Washington Post. VIEWS OF OTHER Fds? DOWNTRODDEN COACHES? There has been considerable talk lately about the hard life football coaches lead. Some coaches have undoubtedly been treated unfairly and have lost their jobs because of victory-hungry alumni who are interested only in a coach's won and lost record rather than in his competence. On the other hand, football coaches are by far the best paid people connected with colleges and the high salaries result directly from a belief that the recipient can produce winning teams. And while some colleges have broken con tracts with coaches, more coaches BIBLES AND PIN-UPS "The closer to the front, the more Bibles there were," said evan gelist Billv Graham in describing his visit to .our trooos in Korea. His sentence would apply to any war of recent era. If the men at the front and those in the rear suddenlv swapped positions. It still would describe the situation: the preponderence of the Holv Word would he in the forward areas. Civil War observers remarked of the popularitv of Bibles where the fighting was thick, too. One soldier wrote home of seeing men throw ing away playing cards as they ap proached skirmish areas. He wrote also of seeing survivors earnestly searching for their discarded gamb ling paraphernalia after things cooled down, Graham said he saw no pin-ups. That is impressive evidence of the respect the troops paid him as a minister. They must have taken down literally thousands of un draped female figures when the word of his arrival reached the camps. And they must have spent the day after he left putting their Marilyn Monroes and Yarga Girls SCOTTS SCRAP BOOK By R. J. SCOTT DIASTOLE, '4ft MKIIMKM. wufeiia s*r? CAVKlli o? fa.
