Generous Gift To Recreation Center The generosity of W. I. Dooly and associ ates in donating a valuable 200-square-foot ? lot at fye entrance to the Recreation Center to the Commission gives added emphasis to the importance of and the growing interest in the new Recreation Center. The new lot just given to the Commission ~ not only gives additional space for building ? and planning in the future, but will enable the planners to develop a l^autiful and ap propriate entrance to the 17-acre site, which is destined to become one of the most popular ; spots in this county. ? There is another lot just across the Rtreet ? which adjoins the Recreation Center that is 1 now privately owned which would give the v I entire section for recreation facilities and : would be worth much to the Commission. The action of Mr. Dooley and associates, we hope, will start a program of further : gifts and liberal contributions to the project which this community has long sought and : worked for. Cemetery Streets Add : To Beauty of Area City officials are to be commended for their program of paving all the streets in C.reen Hill Cemetery. Numerous improvements have been made in the cemetery in the past few years, in ; eluding additional space and considerable landscaping. The new street project is a fit ting climax to the program which has made ; it one of the most beautiful spots ? and it ' should be ? in our entire community. Planning For Left Handed Students A survey just completed by the U. S. Of fice of Education points out that 11 jwr cent of the nation's school children are lefthand ed. On the spur of the moment, that bit of in formation would not appear to be worth the : time and effort the survey cost. Yet. on the other hand, it is very import ant, in that school architects, designers and manufacturers of school furniture and equip * ment are hTWiffgYorta"ke"This into'considertf . tion in planning for the future. After all, a lefthanded child finds it rather awkward to try to write on a desk with a right arm built for a righthanded student. Four Deaths On Haywood Highways In 1956 Another death on Haywood highways last week brings the total to four for 1956, which is three more than for the same period last vear. In fact, the highway records for 1956 show a definite increase in the number of accidents as well as those injured. The only department in which we show a smaller figure than last year's is in damages done, which now ranks about $10,000 less than last year for the same period. This growing record is a disturbing factor and one about which every citizen needs to become vitally concerned. For less noise, it's the car that's supposed to be well oiled, not the driver. When you make your buy-word cash, it's a lot easier to get away from worry. Swimming Pool Proves Its Popularity Last spring when civic leaders began dis cussing a swimming pool for this area, en gineers told them it would be possible, by working fast, to get the pool completed for this season. There were many skeptics who said that such plan3 and statements were just to get the people to donate to the proj ect. and that it was only "wishful thinking" to see completion of the pool for this sum mer. The fact that the pool opened Labor Day. even fortune week, carried out the promises of those backing the project. The interest shown by the public during this past week that the pool was open is in dicative of what can be expected next year when it is opened on a full-scale basis. The pool was closed yesterday in order that the contractor might finish up some other work which is necessary under the terms of the contract awarded him. This, plus the fact that the weather has taken on a "fallish" tinge in the past few days, made it impractical to continue the operation of the pool. Now that swimmers have had a taste of swimming in the modern pool, they will have something to look forward to ere the return of warm, swimming weather next spring. The New Highway Across The Smokies The announcement from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park headquarters that five miles of US 441 from Newfound Gap down he North Garolina side of the moun tain would be relocated in the near future is of utmost importance to this entire moun tain area. The rebuilding of five miles of US 441 and the modernizing of the remaining eight miles between Newfound Gap and Cherokee has been given top priority in "Mission 66" of the National Park Service. The present road from Cherokee to New found Gap through Smokemont is far from adequate to handle the increasing flow of traffic which it is now forced to carry. Engineers tell us that the new 5-mile link will be a big improvement over the present crooked and steep road. which was never con structed to carry the JrqjtnendQps load of traffic it is now forced to handle. New Day Looms For Haywood Apples Ilavwood County apple growers see a 20 j>er cent increase in the 1950 crop over that of 1954, which is encouraging and comes right along with the announcement by the Commerce Department out of Washington that Haywood County ranks 56th in the United States in the number of apple trees. The department shows Haywood has over 89.000 trees. The harvest of 1954 of,251.635 bushels put this county in 69th place in the number of bushels produced in the nation. Somehow we feel that a new day is fast approaching for Haywood apple production. Orchardmen are already making plans for that day with an increased number of trees and special emphasis on quality, for which Haywood apples have long been famous. A good sport is a fellow who thinks any kind of fun is worth the trouble. Lots of folks, short on money, are still managing to scratch out a vacation. viUiWa ur urtttK tunuKS Hem's Aid For Expectant Papas The expectant father is an abused and neglected character says a sociologist at th* University of Notre Dtome, who is either out to make the head lines or else has a fine sense of sympathy for fellow sufferers.

They help her carefully up and down steps, watch over her diet, see that she gets plenty of exerci.se at the proper time and then flood her in the hospital with flowers, candy, congratulatory notes and presents for the new baby. As for Pop. any cartoonist can show you how he paces frantically up and down the hospital corridor, smoking countless cigarettes and pouncing upon n-cry passing nurse and doctor for assurances that ill is well. After the event, while Mom gets the presents. Pop has to pass out the cigars. Sociologist John Kane says a study by a psychia trist of 55 expectant fathers in the Air Force showed that all had some emotional disorders during their wives' pregnancy and some suffered so severely they had to be discharged from the service. How can we help the poor expectant father0 This is Kane's advice to the harassed victim: Pick i sociable doctor who will act human even in the liospital. Pack a bag to take to the hospital with plenty of cigarettes and matches. Take along ear plugs. And be sure to take a bottle of good brandy. The earplugs are to shut out the constant sound >f the paging of doctors, which heightens your ten don And the brandy is for use when you Anally col lapse. Thank you, Professor Kane. And we might add that the earplugs and the brandy may well be taken home along with the baby. They'll both come n handy on those Ant night* of squalling. I ?The Greensboro Daily News. Letters To Editor nrsar.rvka with rmtorial Editor. The Mountaineer: We have road with interest your editorial entitled "United Fund Ik Modem Way to Raise Money". It is well written, but unfortunately does not embrace all the facts. As a fair-minded editor, 1 am sure you do not wish to jeopardize the work of an es tablished life-saving agency, and to sacrifice it and other similar agencies, for the sake of promot ing a one-package deal about which you have a lot of propa ganda but with which your com munity has had no experience, Cancer has taken a little set back in Haywood County this year; not much To date the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority has raised $2. 2(K)88 as against last year's $2. 858 56 We consider the campaign highly successful, knowing that these hard-working women oper ated In an atmosphere charged with United Fund pressures. Our entire experience has prov ed, here In North Carolina, that where United Fund pressure is heavy for the first year, by the third year the independent Can cer drive is "out from under" and is excelling all^ past records. In ' the long run, people are more in terested in conquering cancer than in continuing loyalty to a federated drive for everything, which Ls usually thrust upon them by local business leaders who tire of multiple solicitation. You win ho interested to know that the American Cancer Soci ety, nationally, has tried United Fund For thrpe years, 1951-54. units were permitted to try fed- j oration It did not work. Over a j] three year period, in the face of c a mounting cancer problem, the ^ federated chests allotted less and ( less funds Our educational pro- v pram, aimed at saving lives, lost t its force. Volunteer interest lag- f ped. The yenr-around service pro- v gram in the units was less ef- j fective. The identity of the Am- p erican Cancer Society, the sole p aim of which is conquering can- d ecr, became lost in the shuffle. p It was a dear lesson. We know c that the single focus?conquer- o ing cancer?cannot be achieved c in federation. We cannot be lump- s ed into a not with such commun ity agencies as Boy Scouts and YMCA and do an effective job. We have seen the achievements of the Tuberculosis Association and the Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, who have never tried federation, and know that this is the only course. You will learn, in time, that the national health agencies cannot and should not, be included in the community chest. 1' We know that you, too. are J more interested in eradicating canrer than in insisting on the * triumph of a one-package solici- * tation I am telling vou. honestly. ^ that wp have no alternative hut to preserve our independent drive As a former newspaper re porter. 1 am also suggesting that you examine with more thorough ness both sides of this matter. It's hard to see it first. United ? Fund looks like Utopia It isn't. We have ">on mnnv well-mean- t ine Tar Heel editors campaigning <. for United Fund ? even using their news eolumns to advance it - at the expense of the voluntary apenc'^s But with a counle or so years their voice is softened: they quit trying to eet everybody into the act Democracy is on the side of the health agencies You can't keep people from giving to the thing thev feel the most. People feel this movement to conquer cancer. If less money for caneer comes from business, more of it will come from homes. One day, perhaps just a few vears off. can cer research is going to justify completely all our efforts and all the support that people have con tributed. So. you can assure the people of Haywood County that the American Cancer Society is pleas ed w-ith their work this year. As a matter of fact, the iob done. un der duress. Is one of the most out standing in the State. Sincerely yours. EMMA CARR BIV1NS Director of Public Information. Editor. The Mountaineer; The Girl Scouts are whole heartedlv in favor of our United Fund! First, because, for the first time in several years, we made our quota. Before the United Fund we had fallen far short. This money Is used to rent of fice soace. hire professional work ers. and buy materials for use by troops. We are part of a seven county council and each county must pay its share of the ex penses Second, the time saved by the leaders who haw had to call on business men. house wives, and others for donations, can now be given to the girls. Since our or ganization is crowing all the time and as we are constantly in need of new leaders, time is important. Most leaders have Just so much tlm?- they can give Of course, we want to help with Being over near the Hudson tiver, I saw an interest ing-look ug building at 522 West 42nd itreet with the name, The New ork Port Society and Its Mariners' "hurch, and dropped in to see that it was. A friendly attendant ook me upstairs to see the Rev. larold Mayo, executive secretary, vho, after asking me just what was about, took me all over the dace and explained it to me Here s a haven for the men who go lown to the sea in ships, "a decent dace for decent seamen" who wish lean relaxation, Many of the crew if the Andria Doria which re ently sank, found comfort and belter here. The theme of the Society is -eligious, 1 was told, and was hown the picturesque little chapel vhere men of all faiths come to vorship or just to sit and meditate, t's a popular place too. They hear d the place on board ships at sea, vhere religious movies, obtained rom various denominations, are hown to the crews, and are well ttended. Every day, chaplains rom the Society go aboard ships n the harbor to create friendship >nd distribute religious literature uch as the "Christian Herald" and he "Upper Room," as well as libles in various languages. While >n board, the chaplains ask the nen if they have any problems, nd then tlvey advise them free if charge, and invite them to come lid visit the Port Society and its hurch. As Chaplain Mayo and I went hiough the various floors of the kiciety, I saw free baggage check the United Fund when we are needed but this work will take only a few leaders. When we had our separate drive we had to call on all leaders as well as the Lions Club and anyone else interested in Scouting. And, last but just as important, is the time that is saved by busi nessmen. They say that they can afford to give more when they are not stopped several times a day and asked for contributions? their time has a cash value. To say nothing of wear and tear on good dispositions! Thank you for this opportunity. We are grateful to the United Fund and hope that it has a long and Successful existence.

In one corner were 5.000 copies of the September. 1956 American Mercury which was donated by its publisher for use on ships and in the Society. There was a snack bar. with food served at cost? there is no liquor in this place. Seamen drink too much as a rule, anyway it seems. A television lounge had an inviting look and I was told tended to "anchor" the seamen when they visited the So ciety. as well as the game rooms where indoor amusements can be enjoyed, including movies with refreshments served. On the cool roof, we looked across at the impressive panorama of Manhattan, and then at the dancing pavilion set under a canopy here where each evening "sea legs" swing to the music of a handy juke box. The girls who come are selected from church and similar groups and are nice ones, auite contrast to those Of the street who eagerly wait for the fleets to come in Here above the sidewalks of New- York and above what goes on inevitably in any large citv. men of the sea enjoy fine friendships in a holidav atmos phere. all against a hackdrop of magic Manhattan lights with the throb of the great town's heart beat replacing the roar of the ocean waves. Chaplain Mavo. a Methodist minister, is a New Englander who relishes his work. It is hearten ing. he said, to hear the fellows remark that they didn't know churches did so much to helo them feel at home on land as well as the sea. Mrs. Mavo also counsels the men on problems of pay. get ting a job ashore or just generally how to live a happy life. Her husband is a Rotarian and told me that every week he selects a sea man from some country to be a guest of the New York Rotary Club. His organization operates from donations. It does not solicit funds, but here evidently is a good place for them. Surveys show that wild animals react better when shipped by air plane than domestic animals.

T7^ Rambling 'Round By France# Gilbert Frazier We were discussing a young man who had entened his fathcV s , department store to learn the business. The chap had made hfeh marks in college and was destined to create a worthwhile career . . . but not in the department store business. Inwardly, he disliked every part of it and was emotionally disturbed because of this fact. He *as an only son and he realized that since his birth, his father had plan ned on this son carrying on the family name. Mechanics was this boy's mania; he had fixed up a tiny work shop at home and every available spare moment he gave to the "twik ering" he loved so well. It was a case of duty to his father's wishes and the putting away forever his ambitions: or the breaking down of family tradition in the pursuit of a career that would, undeniably, lead him to the top of a profession for which he was so perfoctly fitted. It's a hard problem for any father and son to face and we, who were discussing it, are anxiously awaiting the outcome. Too many parent^ unintentionally "cripple" their children by mandates ac cording to parental viewpoints "I can't" Is a short way of saving "I don't want to". From a distance we have been enjoying a group of adults who were having a wonderful time. They took innumerable pictures of each other and their hearty laughter rang out joyously. That is what drew our attention, and it brought on a line of thought. Have you noticed how few people indulge in a heartwarming laugh now-a-days? There's the polite smile, yes, but a deo^M&'n-to earth expression of jollity in tho form of a body shaking that forces tears from hidden sources, is a rarity. Every muscle in the body is brought,into play by a lusty laugh, and one feels the happy reaction for hours afterwards. It's too bad we don't indulge in this pasttime oftener. Surely life isn't made up entirely of solemnity and dire forebodings. There must" be some funny episodes lurking around, waiting to be hauled out into the open and laughed at. Anyway, try a laugh all on your own, and see how it peps you up. Too many people work capital I overtime until they forget there's a U in the alphabet. The mountains are drawing heavy veils of rain-dotted mists over their heads: passers-by are quickening their steps and flecks of moisture appear on the window panes. The branches of the trees wave dismally and a sudden silence falls upon th? outside world. Pavements and sidewalks shimmer as the rain begins its gossamer coating, while the grass and flowers assume a new glory in their ap preciation. A delicious fragrance that only a shower can produce, wafts itself into our consciousness and we feel its influence upon our emotions. As suddenly as it came, the rain stops to let a patch of blue sky appear, also a waning sun to lift us into a paean of gratitude for the miracles of nature. I.ife is what we make it. Is how the maxims run. But we often wonder If our job's been well done. Looking Back Over The Years 20 years ago Resources of the First Nation al Bank now reach almost a mil lion dollars.
