Wednesday will mark the second time in seven months that an election has been held here on the legal sale of beer. Last September a county-wide election was held on the question, with the dry forces winning by more than a three to one major ity On Wednesday the citizens of Waynesville will have an opportunity to vote on the ques tion of whether the legal sale of beer shall return, or remain illegal as is the case in the remainder of the county. The pre-eection campaign has been un usually quiet. There has been some cam paigning, but it has been held to the mini mum by both sides. We understand there has been a lot of personal work done by both groups. As in all campaigns, there have been some rumors, and statements charged to both sides, but those are always expected in such con troversial issues as the one at stake. ' All indications are that the election will be unusually quiet, as has been the pre-elec tion campaigning. We feel that a large per centage of the people have had their decis ions made for weeks on how they will vote on Wednesday. We also believe that this elec tion will see one of the largest silent votes on record. Not too many people are talking, or expressing themselves on the matter. With such a trend, it is hard to predict with any degree of accuracy the outcome. The policy of The Mountaineer is to re spect the views of both sides in such matters, although the newspaper, and the publishers are dry. And while we are dry, we readily admit that voting out beer last September did not bring about a local cure-all for strong drink; and neither will the return of legal sales of beer bring about a cure-all. We do not see much relief in the situation until we get the state-wide laws changed. The local option plan and the gallon law, provides too many loop-holes to declare any area dry, even though it is legally declared dry. But getting back to the question to be (/oted upon on Wednesday, we feel that one of the greatest issues that should be consid ered, besides the moral, is the effect of the relationship with our neighbors in the re mainder of the county. We have a wonder ful county, a great spirit of cooperation, and most of all it has been brought about by put ting into practice that famous Biblical quo tation: "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself." Success ? But Close The adult membership Boy Scout drive, coming right on the heels of several other drives, finally nosed out $4 over the goal. The ? Rotary Club had charge of the campaign, and needless to say, it took a lot of consistent push to come up with such a record at this particular time.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRIMS The Associated Press Is entitled exclusively to the use for re-publlcatlon of all the local news nrlnted In this newspaper, as well as all AP news dispatches Monday Afternoon, April 6, 1953 Havwood's Official Doors Remain Open. Haywood county officials did not Jose any time in restating their position that their policy of "open door" meetings remains the same, even though the General Assembly of North Carolina set a bad example of slam ming the door in the face of the public. The town officials here iiave always main tained the "open door" policy with meetings, and the citizens of Haywood have always wanted it thus. That is the reason we fail to understand why Representative Joe Palmer should vote contrary to the policies of the county and town officials, and the wishes of the people when it comes to open meetings on official business. To date Representative Palmer has not seen where it was necessary to explain his actions. Knowing that he has been extremely cau tious on all legislative matters relative to Haywood, we fail to understand why he jumped so hastily and voted for secret meet ings. On pending legislative bills he has in sisted that all parties concerned be satisfied with the bills before he presented them in the House. Our conclusion is that he was swept by emotions and the tide of the crowd during the hasty voting of the bill. We cannot make ourselves believe that he favors secrecy, especially in view of what policies prevail here in Haywood to the complete satisfaction of everyone. 0 There is still time for Representative Pal mer to make a statement and retract his ac tion. As the record now stands, he is far from being in accord with the people he represents. One Alone Being human beings with natural im pulses, there must come to all of us the de sire to wish that we could be the only per son on earth for the few minutes necessary to rid our minds of some things that have been festering there. Also being perfectly normal, we realize that the necessity for be ing alone at the time is self-preservation t equally along with the desire to refrain^from | offending or being summarily disputed. Were we one alone this day, our first out burst would be anent the alleged rumor em anating from Florida that Western North Carolina had a polio epidemic this spring. It is almost impossible to believe , that a neighboring state would stoop to such tac tics to affect our summer tourist season and we still are in hopes that misconstruction has inadvertedly been made of the fact that North Carolina, like Ohio, Indiana, Florida and Georgia went through the national in fluenza scourge. Even England succumbed to the ill effects. With the world on wheels and savings ac counts mounting daily, there is no reason why vacations shouldn't be distributed im partially. There are plenty of people to sup ply the demand for motor courts, hotels, restaurants and gift shops. And standing on ,our self-appointed plat form of speaking our mind, we would like to emphasize that North Carolina was deep ly blessed by having fewer cases of polio than many of the other states in the union. We still have our majestic mountains, our perfect roads and the hospitality that does not resort to hanging funeral flowers on the other man's door. We believe the Democrats of Henderson county will follow their fellow partymen in Haywood and approve the plan of extending the term of state senator from this district. The good points far over-shadow the unde sirable ones.

("World Construction" is a popu lar movement designed to give im petus to the formation of a con structive program by our govern ment in order to establish world pirations of a typical congressman do not qualify him to make all our decisions regarding our responsi bilities and positiops in world af fairs. We the people, must again take the initative and instruct our Letters To Editor PFOP1.E IN COUNTY ASK BF.F.R BF KFPT OUT OF TOWN Editor The Mountaineer: I understand that next Wednes day, April 8th. that the eiitzens of 'he Town of Waynesville will vote jn the question whether or not beer will Ik- sold in the Town of Waynesville. I live in the country, and I am interested in the citizens] of both the country and the town, and I hone that the good citizens of the Town of Waynesville will not force upon the citizens of the country beer after the citizens of the county only last year voted it out by a inrge majority. Do you think it right for the citizens of W; ynesville to vote for the sale of ? beer and force upon the citizens of the county something that we have voted out? The good citizens of Waynesville derive their livin? from the citizens of the county, and if it was not for the country people the Town of Waynesville could not lonj^exist. The citizens of the Town of Waynesville should be good neigh bors to us who live in the country and not place upon us something that we do not want, and by our vote last year we piade known to the citizens of the county and also to the citizens of Waynesville that we no longer desired tlte sale of wine and beer in the county. The citizens of the country do not have the police protection that ?you have in the Town, then why should not the citizens of Waynes ville he anxious to help us protect our homes, schools and churches, and also our boys and girls? The information that I have from the Highway Officers that there has been a wonderful Improvement in the county since we voted out beer and wine last year. Do the town people want to make our highways more dangerous for our citizens by voting In beer? I know that I speak for the clti (CoritTnued on page 6) w ; 1 ] peace thru raising .Jhe standard 1 of living all over the world.) [ ( SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ( CHAPTERS The early portion of the book ] explained the causes of wars in . the past. These causes are misery 11 and want on the part of 95% of the world's population. Commun-ll ism despite its rotten philosophy i is able to take advantage of this misery. It is not difficult to de termine the needs of the under privileged people throughout the world in order to raise their stand ard of living to the level we have achieved. We have shown an ex ample of what can be done, and how it should he done, in a typical ly underdeveloped country, Indo china. We cannot combat Communism with propaganda alone. There is one type of counter - propaganda that can be effective behind the "Iron Curtain" and that is an air drop of consumer goods. Religion j alone will not stop or prevent wars : either. Every civilized religon! teaches the same moral philosophy j of the "Golden Rule". I Our government was created to carry out the wishes of the people. But thru our own indifference we | have lost "touch" with our Con gress. We expect them to do all our planning and thinking for us. The background and political as Congress as to the necessary legis-! lation to insure world peace. No financial sacrifices will be necessary in order to carry on the work of World Construction. Our only sacrifice will be the few hours of time it will take tor us to learnv ind to help the popular movement ?row, and the time we will^jspend nstructing our Congressmen. The efforts of WORLD CON STRUCTION as an organization A'ill be primarily in consulting, idvising and informing. The actual teaching abroad will l>e done by a Peace Army which WORLD CONSTRUCTION will ask Congress to set up. This Peace \rmy will be equipped with knowl edge and practical skills, not guns. It will also be desirable to have people come to this country from all parts of the wA-ld, so that they can see exactly how things are done in this country and have a chance to learn, understand and absorb our free democratic spirit. We can simplify our efforts by utilizing the framework of the United Nations. In this program of the exchange of "know-how" we will also be able to gain much knowledge from oth er countries. Our final goal will be 5 to 10 million members in the United States, and a proportionate num ber of members in every country on the face of the globe. Properly educating people all over the world will be an essential part of the program, so that unscrupulous po litical leaders and demagogues will not be able to turn their thoughts to war. CHAPTER XV A lot has been written about one world government and similar things. And I believe that this would be putting the cart before the horse. Naturally in the modern age in which we live it would not be ap propriate to say the "cart before the horse." but it would be more appropriate to say something like "the jet before the plane" or some thing that sounds more like the year 1953. But whether it is the cart in front of the horse, or thf jet in front of the plane, a one mrld government, as necessary SCOTT'S SCRAP BOOK By R. J.
