Outlook Bright For Turkish Tobacco A Turkish tobacco specialist on a recent visit to Haywood County was optimistic a bout the current crop here being grown by several Haywood County folk. He termed the quality as far above that seen anywhere else thia season. Haywood has pioneered, it seems, in grow ing the aromatic tobacco, with much of the interest being created by A. L. Freedlander, president of Dayton Rubber, on his Aliens Creek farm. The specialist on his Haywood inspection tour pointed out that the price again this year would be $1,25 per pound for the best grade of the tobacco. It is interesting to note that more and mure farmers are studying the merits of Turkish tobacco and are finding thAt they have land suitable for growing this non-al lotment crop. There is a strong possibility that before many years Turkish tobacco will 1h> one of our chief sources of cash income on Haywood farms. 9 Living Is So Grand Slow Down We Americans have a high regard for speed. The fact that we make things faster and distribute them faster than other na tions has a great deal to do with our eco nomic strength. In sports we like fast mov ing games. For most of us life is geared to a pretty fast tempo. Rut there's a place for everything ? in cluding speed. And the staggering toll of traffic deaths, plus the fact that speed is in volved in a majority of them, makes it plain that speed has no place on the highway. It's rather interesting to note that safety authorities are concerned with more than just exceeding the speed limit. They list fail ? ure to give the right of way, passing without caution, driving too fast for road, traffic and weather conditions, and following the car ahead too closely as symptomatic of the "in a hurry" complex that causes accidents. That "in a hurry" complex is the target of the Slow Down and Live campaign on the highwaywt>f North Carolina this summer. The (sponsoring Governor's Traffic Safety Council believes that if this message can be implanted in the minds of drivers every where it can effect a reduction in the traf fic toll. Of course, it's always difficult to say ex actly why an accident didn't happen. But certainly the frightening highway death and injury toll commands the support of everyone in this national effort to keep speed in its proper place. Cove Creek Farmers Ready To Give More We were vividly impressed by the atti tude of the hard-hit Cove Creek farmers as they voted unanimously to contribute the right-of-way for a new bed of the creek which washed away many acres of their valuable farm lands and crops on June 30. The farmers realize that their best insur ance against a repetition of what happened June 30 is to have a wider and straighter creek bed. We trust that no time will be lost in pro viding this essential for this hardy group of farmers. A few strong instincts and a few plain rules. ?Wadsworth. Lawmakers To Discuss Legislation Here Friday On Friday afternoon Governor Luther If. Hodges and about 40 member.* of the 1956 Genera! Assembly will (rather here to dis cuss pending legislation which will be pre sented at the special session which convenes July teJi. While their meeting will be clos.nl? and understandably so ? it is a r?al joy to have such a distinguished (rroup ot our State government meeting in our midst. The General Assembly has facing it one of the major problems of all time and we feel that it is fitting that the Governor and his advisory school committee should fake the time to sit down and calmly discuss with the members of our law-making body the pi oblems which face the State. We know of no better place for such a calm and deliberate conference to be held thnn the home of A. L. Freedlander, pre.-i dent cf Dayton Rubber Company, on Aliens Crof k. Disaster Fund Has Permanent Place In Our Society i The creation of the Haywood County Dis aster Fund last year was a step in the right , direction. 1 At the time the disaster fund was creat- 1 ed, Unagusta Plant No. 2 was still smolder- J ing. Within a few days disaster struck a , severe blow, also with fire, to two famiiles in the community and they were immediately given assistance from the fund. A num ber of people realized then the importance of keeping the fund active, and wise was the decision, since disaster has again struck within our county. This week a check for $1,000 was given by the Disaster Fund Committee to a special committee to be disbursed among those fami lies who suffered so heavily in the recent Cove Creek flash flood. The $1,000 going to the Cove Creek flood victims will ease their present financial status but in no way fully compensate for their heavy losses. The experience of the past six months has proven the wisdom of having such a fund available and we expect that there are many citizens in this county who will con tribute liberally to the disaster fund to see that its treasury is replenished. Maggie Group Has Interesting Program We have had an opportunity to observe some of the program of the Maggie Valley Chamber of Commerce and we have been im-' pressed by their determination of a "down to-earth' 'approach to the visitors within their gates. The community is small enough to person alize their friendliness and yet large enough to stage a cooperative program that is dif ferent from the usual Chamber of Com merce promotion. As far as we know this is a new approach in Chamber of Commerce work and it strikes us that it is just "tailor made' 'for such a community as Maggie. ? There is a lot of interest, enthusiasm and energy being injected into the program by the Maggie folk and after all, what more is needed for attaining the success of any pro gram ? One of the things these days that starts at the top, but would do a lot of good at the bottom is child phychology. VIEWS OF OTHER EDITORS Responsible Government High-ranking Washington officials too often have let their advisers take the blame for unpopu lar decisions. They have shown a failure to under stand the basic principles of responsible govern ment. That day now seems to have passed. The demise could not have come too soon. Undersecretary of the Treasury W. Randolph Burgess recently told a congressional subcommittee that banker advisory committees give the Treasury valuable information about its financing problems but don't make the decisions. "We'll take the rap for that." he declared Too much nonsense has been talked about the insidious role of business advis ory groups. The responsibility for the ultimate deci sion always rests squarely on the shoulders of a policy-making official who has been appointed by the President. If the advice he receives is no good, he should dismiss the advisers and find others. If the advice is self-interested, he should have the wit to recognize that fact or shouldn't hold high office. If the official malirs bad or dishonest decisions, then he should be fired. Earlier this year the Administration flatly re fused to allow a group of civil servants to answer questions of the Senate Permanent Investigations Subcommittee. The officials had been members of an interagency committee that recommended East West trade control changes to the National Security Council in mid-1954.- It was the Cabinet-level NSC that finally decided which controls should be eased and which not. The Administration properly took the position that the Cabinet officers could be in terrogated, but the civil service experts were answer able only to their superiors and their recommenda tions were none of Congress' business. Cabinet officers and other agency heads are legally and morally responsible for the conduct of their depaitmmt* The Admliiistiathm hos done well to enforce this fundamental rule of orderly govern ment.?The New Ybrk Herald Tribune.

Views of Other Editors Ten Early Symptoms Of Delinquency Bv PAUL IIARVEY A generation of adults is be ing terrorized by its own ^chit dren.

If the parents bad recognized the "symptom" in time, they might have averted the tragedy. When the American Cancer So ciety published ten simple "things to watch for" as cancer symptoms, the result was earlier diagnosis and treatment so necessary if a Cure is to Be effected So 1 sought the best advice available from those who have studied the "delinquency disease," and we distilled many sugges tions to the ten most frequent manifestations in the early stages The problem necessarily re verts to the parents Individu ally. Community effort has its place, but it does not replace the per sonal interest of a loving parent. It is not more organizations we need. Some think we already have too many. Dr. Herbert Ratncr. Professor of Preventive Medicine at Loyola says: "Fathers and mothers are kid ding themselves when, under the guise of doing a greater good for their children and community, they become willingly and hap pily ensnared in the time-con suming work of community or ganizations: Parents should re turn their talents and energies to the work of doing a bang-up job of rearing their children " Mrs. William Sehlenger. Presi dent of the Grammar School PTA in Long Branch. New Jersey, con ducted a survey. Studying delinquency she tele phoned numbers at random to ask parents. "Do you know where your child is right now"" In 64 percent of the cases a child answered and said he didn't know where his parents were' It's up )^o the parents.

Mrs. Asheroft ii was properly sympathetic. won't you go out to the ceme tery with me?" asked Miss Emily. Mrs. Asheroft replied (hat she p would be glad to. but she couldn't possibly leave home before three a o'clock, at which time she would ,. meet Miss Emily at the corner of (, F and Eleventh Streets. v "I appreciate it so much," said j Miss Emily. "Good-bye " It lacked two hours of being three o'clock. She felt she j couldn't possibly stand it in her ,. apartment for that length of time, j being alone with her grief and j dead Omar.
