"> ?? _ ? ? t No Time To Slacken The Pace This is no tiifie to tiirow in the sponge, and give up. Up until now, we have been going along at a rapid pace with apparent ease in Hay woodiittOur farmers have been prosperous, and fUe tourist group has been expanding rapidly, and improving their various places. Then out of a clear sky comes lower beef prices, and extremely dry weather which hits hard at the farmer's pocket book. And the polio news from other sections of the state has perhaps curtailed some travel that might tyave otherw ise come this way. And. there have been some disappoint ments in other things here, but that is just part of the life of an individual, a town, county, state or nation. We still have been spared any major catastrophe, we have had no floods, hurri canes or epidemics. We have a lot to be thankful for, and while f we have had some jolts, we might give more thought to the many advantages, and bless ings we have received, which far out-weigh the things which we are prone to "get us down." , There are a lot of citizens in many parts of the world that would welcome the op portunity to live in Haywood, and accept only a partial share of the many advantages found here. Almost Unbelievable Growth Travel in the Great Smokies, and along the Blue Ridge Parkway continues to show constant gains, month after month. And this is by actual count, and not guesswork. This record of increased travel, proves month-in-and-month-out that Americans are interested in seeing the scenic spots of this nation more than ever before. For the first six months of ths year, there werq 316,892 more people using the Blue Ridge Parkway than for the same period of 1952. *fhis represents an increase of twenty five per cent. Such a gain proves the ? popularity of the scenic drives in this State and Vingina. Compared wth this phenomenal gain, it seems that Congress should give this con siderably JjwNtffit, and instead of cu$iailyi& development of the natural projects in which the people are showing the greatest interest should instead, try and encourage the contin ued trenid of seeing America first, and spend ing their vacation money in America. In fact, on any basis which you might figure it, the investment of the government will prove a profitable one. The tax de partment has everything to lose by not go ing ahead with the full development of the Park and Blue Ridge Parkway.

Thursday Afternoon, July 23, 1953 "Give Us. Room" The Board of Education, in a resolution passed by them recently, came up with an idea that is causing considerable comment, and no doubt will bring about serious con sideration by the public at large. The board simply said this in brief and effect' "The Central Elementary school building, when no longer used for a school (about January first) will make ideal quart ers for the County School System, which is now handicapped by the small quarters in the court house. So, instead of giving the building up for anything else, we feel it should be converted into quarters for the school administration. And if there is other space left, it can be used for other depart ments, such as the agriculture, welfare and health." - The idea came forth suddenly, it seems, and has caught the eye and ears of the public. When all angles are considered, it is known that the court house is far from providing adequate space for several de partments?even the welfare rents special quarters elsewhere?and the parking situa tion about the court house is becoming a ? problem which seems to have no imme diate solution. On the other hand, will the public like having more county offices in two separate buildings, five blocks apart? We just brng up those points, and there are many others which will be considered on both sides of the question, including the action of the recent General Assembly which gave the trustees the right to convert the property, less a lot for the Library, to the Town of Waynesville for recreational or other public uses. The General Assembly has spoken, so has the Board of Educaton. The next voice we will hear will in all probability be that of public sentiment?and that is also a strong one. Hard To Understand Seven persons lost their lives in a single wreck down at Raeford, when a car with five teen-age boys, returning from a church meeting, crashed into a pick up truck with two middle-aged m|en, enroute to a religious conference. 1 Si* \*ere killed instantly,? the seventh died within hours after the wreck. Such tragedies are extremely difficult to understand. We're all itching to go on vacation and may keep it up after we get there. ?I The simplest way to keep a baby qifiet is not to have company. ? Some women who don't tell their age also don't act it. Since the rioting, the Reds are promisng to make East Berlin a better prison.?Mem phis Press-Schimitar. Getting up in the morning and getting down to work are the real productive ups and downs. There's not as much activity is usual in straw hats this spring, says a dealer. Maybe the wind has died down. Union leaders contemplating action are advised to hurry and get all their striking done early Economists say that 4,000,000 jobs will disappear very soon. ?

John Woodard is new chief of police of Hazelwood. Miss Nancy Jones, bride-elect, is honored by Miss Mary Ann Mas sie and Miss Betsy Siler. Views of Other Editors\ THEY CAN'T TAKE IT AWAY Tuesday the memory of a great American was honored in a little community near Jonlin. Missouri. He was George Washington Carver. Born into slavery, the late Mr. Carver led his class at Iowa State College, after being denied an edu cation in his native state. He went on to become one of the world's greatest agricultural scientists. From his teaching post at Tuskegee he showed thousands of farmers how to improve their farming methods. He developed dozens of new uses. In agriculture and in in dustry. for the sweet potato, the neanut and the soybean. As Interior Secretary McKay dedicated the George Washington Carver National Monument ? the first national monument erected ?n honor of a Negro?an old farm er who knew the scientist in his vouth recalled their association. "Old Moses Carver told him," the farmer said, "that he could be rob bed of money but never of an edu cation." The scientist never forgot his un schooled father's remark. He be came a very learned man. But he also demonstrated, by his teaching methods in rural areas, that educa tion is not always a matter of go ing to school or acquiring diplo mas. Education can be obtained from county agents and home dem onstration a?ents. from libraries and bookmobiles, by reasoning and experimenting. Moses Carver's observation is as sound todav as it was when he gave It. Education continues to be the means bv which all persons, and American Neeroes in particular, can improve their lot No one can take it away.?Charlotte News. .?V heroes great and small?is there a statue of the man once the very symbol of American soldierliness and valor. Part of the explanation may be! found in the fact that General Pershing was himself chairman of the American Battle Monuments Commission. His own modesty and i professional ethics doubtless pre-1 venfed him from countenancing any move bv the commission to honor him. Part, it would be hard j to deny, lies in the general's own austere, self-effacing personality The public saw in him more the office than the man. And he re jected all opportunities to capital- \ ize his prestige either in public life or private business. These are qualities, particularly in a professional soldier that Am ericans would not wish to ignore any more than they would refrain from recognizing qualities of statesmanship and political leader ship when they appear. ?Christian Science Monitor. BACK TO COLLEGE College enrollments, which de clined within the last few years, are expected to be on the upgrade again whert new terms begin in September. It has been announced that 350, 000 recently discharged Korean | veterans have already applied for , educational benefits under the new GI bill. , ''The influx of such students fol lowing World War II not only in creased college enrollments, they also gave a more mature and seri ous tone to campus life. A rendi tion of that experience would be a helpful thing for the colleges as well as the men involved. ?Raleigh News and Observer. HAS PROVED ITSELF Six years ago establishment of the city management form of gov ernment'. in Raleieh was big news and there was widespread interest in the election and installation of the first city council under that plan. There was not a great deal of interest in the election this year of a new council in May and the installation of the new council (with only two of the seven serving their first terms) and a new mayor attracted no general attention al though personal friends of thoae directly involved were present in force. This lack of general interest means that Raleigh has accepted the new form of government. But while the new plan has proved it self to the apparent satisfaction of the people, it will have to con tinue to prove itself or there will be a demand for a change, either Rambling ?Bits Of Human Interest News By Frances Gilbert Frazier Well, here we are off on our pet peeve again. We h.,\e t?0 parking on sidewalks and obnoxious children in public eating It is the latter that we are airing this time. We look at thf p,. (or parent, as the case may be) and wonder if they realty nuisance their children are to other people who have u a restful meal. Or is it a case that they simply do not see nor k> of the child's misbehavior. U may be like the dripping of water stone . . . but even that simile won't work for in the long run' stone finally has to give in to? tbe drip. Those nice people who ? let anything worry them are the ones that tell us it is our own j . . . that we should absolutely ignore the actions of the ehii^ Fat chance, when a shriek from an adjoining table or a ghai water cascading down on the floor, makes urgent a desire to q heavily where it will do the most good. If we knew how the other half lived, we might want to ^ In. We've had readers kind enough to tell us that they like the| "black-eyed" paragraphs best. But recently a lady said: "Pk have 'Little Mary* oftener. I have a little Mary of my own and h only too well, that 'out pf the mouth of babes' can come con^ able embarrassment . . . and the urgent and prompt need of exit at Ions." If we would only catch our breath before we make an up reply, we could catch the reply at the same time. Mrs. Abee and Mrs. Bebee went up town shopoing one day morning, and the time slipped away before they realized | twelve o'clock was Just ten m.nutes away. There was one more ani to be bought and Mrs. Abee suggested that they buy this at the 1 minute, but Mrs. Bebee demurred. "If we go In there." she i "you know we linger longer than we intend to and that will dep the clerk of a part of the afternoon off." Mrs. Abee looked at I friend with a puzzled expression, then she slowly remarked: 1 is food for thought. Do you know I never looked at it from | angle before and I'm glad you made me conscious of it." After a ond. she continued: "From now on, anything I don't buy on Tun will just wait util Thursday." We feel sure that many a clerk will a grateful thank you to both of these ladies. If is thoughtlessness that prompts a customer to go into a si just before closing time on Wednesday and pure selfishness I makes them excuse themselves by explaining: "As long as I'm inl fore twelve, you can't refuse to wait on me." A little thought was born one day Into a world of busy men. Who had no time to coddle It; Or care if, why or even when. Then all at once they needed it So very much, and then they cried The little thought was their idea But by that time the thought had died. Bugs Are Oil Key LONG BEACH, Calif. <AP>?If there are bugs on the soil there's oil down below. That's the belief of Logan Good knight of Long Beach, who has studied and found significant the relation between the presence of certain soil bugs and oil deposits. His theory is backed by the de velopment of 18 wildcat producers in Texas, Kansas and California into million dollar properties. "These bacteria," Goodknight said, "live on volatile gases from the oil and gas below. They multi ply and leave 'tracks' and chemical tests verify their presence and in dicate commercial production." Some ftowers have an odor which is nauseating to man but which at tracts certain flies which pollinate the flowers.

Wheeler and the new council for the same progressive government they en ioyed under Mayor James E. Briggs and most of the same councilmen. ?News and Observer.
