Major offenders are drinkers who
strew the highways with liquor
bottles and beer cans, and others
who love to deposit paper cups,
napkins, and plates to mark their
trail.
It has been found that the eost
of cleaning a heavily traveled high
way averages $14.60 per mile each

'BEWARE l.lTTF.RBl'GS' is this warning: con
veyed by this sign on the four-lane highway be
tween Lake Junaluska and Clyde. The Highway
Department recently has erected such signs

throughout North Carolina in an effort to halt
littering of the highways, which costs the state
hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.

Road Signs Warn Motorists
About Throwing Out Trash
Motorists on Haywood County highways and those in the state's
j other 99 counties are being reminded by recently erected road signs
that North Carolina law prohibits throwing of trash on highways, and
provides for fines up to $50
The keeping of highways clean is believed to be especially im
portant in Western North Carolina because of the scenic beauty of the
area and the fact that millions of out-of-state visitors travel through
here each y ear.
year.
Mowing machines are seen regu
larly keeping the highway shoul
ders well trimmed. The bottles and
caas are the most bothersome for
tile men operating these machines.
The right-of-way on both sides
are cleared periodically, the side
ditches are kept open. All this is
done to make them safe and beau
tiful.
The cast of all this is borne by
taxpayers, and that is everyone
who buys gasoline and other auto
supplies.
Governor Kodges says it might
be wise to establish small garbage
dumps near cities. He said, "We
might as well recognize human na
ture. Plenty of people have beer
cans and liquor bottles they don t
want to send out through the reg
ular garbage collection. So we may
as Well be realistic ? they will
throw them on the roads.v
These people are called litter
bugs. Many ways to educate the
people to keep the roads cleaner
have been tried by the Highway
Department in recent months, and
they have had their effects, which j
w'as to stop some of it. But the one
per cent doesn't pay any attention
So the Department aims to use
the existing laws to enforce this

Hazelwood Students Get First-Hand Lesson On Japan,
i
By BOB CONWAY
Textbooks are helpful, but pu
pils at Hazel wood School found
that first-hand information is still
better when they heard a talk on
Japan by a native of that country
?Methodist minister Hiroshi Shim
mi of Tokyo.
Opening his talk, Rev. Mr. Shim
mi pointed out the position of Jap
an on a world map and mentioned
that his country consists of four
large islands and numerous small
er ones.
Rev. Mr. Shimmi said he sailed
for this country from Yokohama
and was at sea for two weeks. En
route, he explained, he "lost" one
day in crossing the International
Date Line.
Arriving on the West Coast, the
minister said, he traveled by train
to Chicago and New York and was
"amazed" by America's wide-open
spaces and the relatively low dens
ity of population in the hinterland
as compared with the crowded
islands of Japan.
Although Japan is smaller than
one American state (California), he
said its population is more than
half of that in the U. S ?90.000.000
as compared with 165.000.000.
Over-population and the neces
sity of importing 20 per cent of its
foodstuffs are two of the major
problems facing Japan today, he
pointed out.
Rev. Mr Shimmi said Japan has
to import part of its food because
only about 15 per cent of all land
in the country is suited for culti
vation.
This problem was further aggra
vated, the speaker said, by Japan's
loss of 42 per cent of its land in
World War II when its overseas
possessions were taken away.
Rev. Mr. Shimmi said that Japan
is the most highly industrialized
country in Asia, but he disclosed
that the average wage there is $40
i
per month, and that the per capita
income of his country is $192 as
compared with $1,989 in the U.S.
(Low wages, he explained, are par
tially offset by the low cost of liv
ing, For instance, he said, a good
meal ran lie had in Tokyo for 40
cents or loss.)
Despite its high state of indus
trialization. unemployment is a ma
jor problem in Japan, the minis
' ter related, citing a study showing
that only 40 per rent of the gradu
ates of one college in the country
were able to obtain jobs.
Rev. Mr. Shinimi told his audi
ence that Japan had its first contact

,
FIRST-HAND INFORMATION on Japan was
given to students at Ilazelwood Sehool Thurs
day afternoon by a Japanese Methodist Minister,
the Rev. lliroshi Shimmi of Tokyo, who is now
attending the World Methodist Conference at
I.ake Junaluska. Here Rev. Shinuni points out the
location of Japan on a world map.
