Implications Of
Agricultural Program
The Ashevrile Citizen Tuesday morning,
commenting editorially on the new agricul
tural program for Haywood County, said:
"Haywood County agricultural leaders are
launchfhg a long-range program dMirr?ed to'
ncreigt the cash farm incomd of Haywood
armerg by $4 million a year.
Through bOtter tarming practices, the
plan Si* at increases in barley tobacco
yields, poultry production, vegetables and
I'maJl fruits, commercial apple orchards,
dairy farms and sheep and beef cattle pro
duction.
An intensive farm forestry program also
;?a m of the plan. %
The program will be watched with interest
by neighboring counties because, if it ifi suc
cessful, it would help solve a problem com

Constitution Week
A Timely Reminder
In sponsoring Constitution Week this
week, the Daughters of the American Revo
lution are bringing to the attention of the
American people the importance of our Con
stitution through our everyday life.
Unfortunately, the Constitution is like so
many other things which we take for grant
Hi. We do not read it and give it the con
sideration it rightly deserves. We expect the
reading of the Constitution is limited to
students who have it on classroom assign
ment.
We agree with Mrs. Frederic Alquin
Groves, President General of the sponsoring
organization, when she says: "Know your
Constitution and think about it; make it
part of your daily thought habits. It is one
of the truly great documents of our time, and
as liberty loving and loyal Americans it is
voor responsibility to know it intimately,
and to protect and safeguard it. A direct
faith and understanding of the ideals of free
dom expressed in patriotic thoughts and ac
tion means FREKDOM IS OUR WAY OF
UIFE."
Patents Must Accept
Responsibility
We have been impressed by the attitude of
Juvenile Judge Richard K. Douglas of Knox -
ville, who is holding that parents and guard
\ans face fines and possible workhouse terms
for permitting juveniles to drive automobiles
without licenses.
Judge Douglas holds that such persons
will be prosecuted under laws applying to
"contributing to the delinquency of a minor."
The judge seems to be getting to the bot
tom of one of our major traffic .problems.
Recently he imposed a fine of $25 on n
father, and twice that amount on a grand
mother, as t>oth defendants entered pleas of
guiltv as they were riding in cars driven by
children without licenses.
Judge Douglas has the jurisdiction to im
pose penalties with fines as high as $1,000
and as much as 11 months and 25 days in
the workhouse.
We have a feeling that violations in the
area where Judge Douglas has jurisdiction
will be held to a minimum.
Every great person has an autobiography
and a biography. One tells his side of the
story, and the other gives the low down.
Yes, They Check
Those Tax Returns
Chance* thlt youf tax form ? one of 60,
000,000 ? would be picked for checking
m If lit seem low, yet the fovemment does a
surprising extensive Job of scrutinizing,
say the editors of ChangMf Timed, The
Kijiinger Magazine.
Not all returns get the sarite attention al
though every one is checked fof arithmetic.
Sorbe 40,000,000 small wage earners' returns
have little more on them than notations of
total income', tax withheld and dependents.
These are subject to only cursory examina
tion.
fiut about 20,000,000 returns receive
greater attention. If you earn betweeh 16,000
and 150,000 or havS a business that doesn't
gross over 180,000, it's likely your form will
be reviewed. TTie probability is increased if
you list unusually large medical deductions,
interest payments or contributions. And, if
you request a large refund, you can be sure
that your return will be audited. Even in
thd case of smaller refunds, increasingly
greater card Is being exercised in making
payments.
Cause For Honest Bragging
It is always a source of deep pride when
a "home town boy makes good" and such is
the case of Bill Miller, who is rapidly climb
ing the ladder in the news world.
Miller has just been made manager of the
United Press bureau in the Philippines. He
has held the same position in Formosa for
the past three years, covering much of the
activity of the Korean conflict and the criti
cal era immediately following.
Miller is destined to "go places" as he con
tinues to pursue his profession as a news
man in some of the most difficult news cent
ers of the globe.
Autumn Idyl
Between the conditioning of a room's air
and a room's "atmosphere" there is a differ
ence that not even the engineering mind
would be so matter-of-fact as to deny. Fans,
refrigerating units, heating units, and hu
midifiers can provide almost any flavor of
air one may wish to inhale. But an atmos
phere that one can really "breathe" may stilt
require a moi^e ancient alchemy.
The heart of the secret is a living fire ? a
fire that burns without mechanical prompt
ing. as in the country store wood stove, that
venerable, always heated participant in na
tion-welding debates. Or as in an open fire in
a suburban living room.
Building, tending, or just sitting face to
face with a fire, a man feels somehow closer
to facts. To pick just the right log and to
cast it at just the right angle into a bed of
hungry coals seems not only an exercise in
musclar skill and practical judgment but a
reward of character.
You can see all this in the way your host
settles himself back into his chair. The two
of you exchange assured, optimistic glances.
And you know it doesn't matter a bit wheth
er you can pick up again the severed thread
of conversation.
Try this ? or, rather, don't ? with the
most elaborate mechanical devices for com
fort. They should be somewhere in the pic
ture, of course. But they should do their job
in a properly self-effacing way, while the
fire crackles and chirps about life's good old
simple pleasures.

APPRECIATES ARTICLE,
EDITORIAL

Upon my return from Eastern

do hope that St. John's School
will always play a vital part in
the progress of this community.
We surely hope that all the
citizens of Waynesville will visit
our new school and we are happy
to say that the afternoon of Oc
tober 14th has been set aside as
open-house day at St. John's

LIKED STREET DANCES
Editor, The Mountaineeni
In one of your past editions I
read an article from "A life-long
citizen" of Haywood about how
happy and grateful that the
street dances held on the Court
House Parking Lot had been dis
continued. I must say that I am
disappointed; not in that writer's
opinion, for everyone is entitled
to an opinion, this writer includ
ed, but I am disappointed to hear
that the street dance has been dis
continued?the street dance that
has been a pasttime for citizens
of Haywood and surrounding
counties and visitors from every
where: a pasttime that is synony
mous with Waynesville as is the
buck dance or Waynesville being
"the eastern entrance to the
Great Smoky Mountains".
My residence in Haywood was
for a short three years, but i
learned to love the county and
claim her as my home.
Upon termination of my pres
ent tour of duty with the US
Army, my wife and I plan to re
turn to Haywood County from
"sunny" Italy and make our home
there.
We both enjoyed the street
dances when we were in Waynes
ville and hope to dance again on
the sawdust-covered asphalt of
the Court" House Parking Lot up
on return "home".
Sincerely,

"All right, you cowards, I know you're In here!"
Rambling 'Round
By Frances Gilbert Frailer
* A group of ladies were discussing things in general and finally
the conversation rolled around to the discourtesies of the present day.
All agreed that the worst offenders were not the young generation
(who usually fall heir to all the blame for most everything) but the
adults.
One lady was quite vehement in her opinion. "What burns me
up," she exploded, "is when I expend time, energy and money to
gather up, wrap and mail a gift to some one and the recipient hasn't
the good grace to even send back a two cent postal saying 'I got It'."
Another lady broke in with: "Say, you've got an idea there. Why not
enclose a self-addressed, stamped card with the words "It arrived.'
and with the lady's name?" Every one joined in the laughter which
followed then one of the group had her say. "You don't have to go
far afield." she said, "to find discourtesy. In the past six months I
have sent three different wedding gifts and I have yet to know
whether any of them ever reached the brides."
A quiet little lady who had listened attentively asked if she
might give her pet peeve. "It irks me plenty," she volunteered, "to
have some one walk deliberately in front of me when I'm seated,
and not P?Pe even an excuse me'. Do you know." she chucked, "I
always have an insane desire to stick out a foot and send them on a
short trip."
Other discourtesies were brought into the round of discussion,
such as interruptions when a person is speaking, contradictior,s and
a lot more. Say, let's have a courtesy week. You'll be surprijML how
easy it is if you just make up your mind.
WIFE: "I shopped from one end to another today."
HUSBAND: "From one end of town to the other?"
WIFE; "Oh no! Only in one store. I went in to buy a pair of
bedroom slippers and came out with a new hat."
Little by little summer is drawing down the shades* bringing
in the yard furniture and locking the front door. There is always
something sad about summer's preparations for leaving and we look
on with a slight tightening of the throat muscles.
How many of us will be here to welcome our visitors wnen sum
mer returns next year? What will be world conditions when the win
dows are again raised to let in cool breezes to temper the warm
sunny days? Who will be around to enjoy the flowering gardens and
the waving plumage of the trees? How many of those we have en
joyed will be back to gladden us with their presence?
What a kind and thoughtful Provider it is that keeps the cur
tain of the future drawn so tightly we cannot see beyond its daily
folds!
The cruel hand of frost, like the tongue of gossip, shows no
mercy.
"Miss Lucy' George Has
Her Own Plans For Paris
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON ? When Mrs.
Walter George left for Paris with
her husband, the former Georgia
senator who Is to be Presidcni Eis
enhower's ambassador to NATO,
she made it clear she had plans
of her own to carry out.
"Mr. George is going to work,
and I'm going to have a real good
time." said "Miss Lucy" as she is
known affectionately to her many
friends.
Miss Lucy, who is mad *or word
games, says she's hoping to get
her 78-year-old spouse interested
in scrabble on their travels. "He
tried rummy once, but he always
wanted at least one card that be
longed to me," she said. "In the
end, I said, 'Mr. George, this is a
game where people take opposite
sides.' That finished it. But scrabble
is different. It's the perfect game
for husbands and wives."
Miss Lucy, who hasn't been
abroad for five years was excited
over the prospect of seeing Paris
again. "Mr. George says that I'll bo
perfectly safe to go about the
Paris museums, parks and churches
on my own?everywhere, he says,
except the shops."
