United Fund Campaign
Dii To Good Start
Volunteer workers throughout America
ire carrying on a program for the United
?und just like that being staged here in
Thjj United Fund program has been adopt
ed throughout the nation as the practical
* ay <o fciee money for worthy causes, since
he program can be carried on more econom
cally than by any other means yet devised.
The conservation of time and effort in
looting the combination of fund raising
irives into one is a big factor. The* workers
and those being solicited are much happier
)ver ikt one-campaign program.
HCH^ie this end of the county, workers
ire note seeking $81,000 ? a sum compar
able to that which was raised and paid out
'ast year. Each participating agency last
year rtfeived 100 per cent of the amount
which ipu placed in the budget for them.
ThU'^eommunity, by their actions last
year, Sbemed most happy with the United
Fund program, and from all accounts this
year, the campaign is moving alonga in a
satisfactory manner, add those in charge are
optimistic over the outcome.
The cine major change this year over last,
is thw'ttime which has been allocated for
complying the drive. It was learned here a
few mo'nths ago that a quick campaign is
far better than one which carries over into
several weeks. For that reason Charlie
Woodard and his associates in staging this
"ampwign have made plans io finish it with
in one week.
We have every reason to believe that the
campaign will be completed within that time,
and feel that all those who participate will
have reason to share the real joys which
:ome with giving to those things which are
designed to make our community, county,
state and nation a better place to live.
Before You Diet
Reducing diets seem to have reached the
dimension of a craze in this country, A word
of warning is in order. Elemental wisdom de
mands that no one should undertake a diet?
especially those of an experimental and
strenuous kind ? without first obtaining
competent medical advice.
An example is provided by two new low
nrotein diets which have been given much
nublicity. One is based on a liouid combina
tion of corn oil, evaporated milk and dext
rose. The other employs regular foods, but
the foods chosen contain little protein.
Two physicians and the American Medical
Association's council on foods and nutrition
have now warned against the indiscriminate
use of these diets. Their statements appear
in a recent issue of the AMA Journal. One
statement questions both the safety and ef
fectiveness of the diets. The other two urge
the people use them onlv under strict medical
supervision. A note of discouragement enters
too?even patients on whom the original
diets were tested successfully regained
weight When they quit the diets.
It is also pointed out that some people
wrongly blame protein for causing their
obesity and, left to their own devices, may
go to a dangerous extreme of protein re
duction or elimination. The science of diet
etics has proven that a substantial protein
intake is necessary to the mental and
physical vigor of the great majority of peo
ple.
In any event ? before you diet, see your
doctor.

Haywood Men Leader?
In Patrol School
We had an opportunity recently to see
some of the training program which is giv
en young men who are candidates as mem
bers of the State Highway Patrol.
Interestingly enough, the man who ar
ranges the program, and handles a vast a
mount of the details is Zeb Alley, a young
Wayneevilk man who has finished law
school at the University and is now Assist
ant Director of the Institute of Government
at Chapel Hill.
Working with this efficient young man,
is Sgt. E. W. Jones, a former Haywood pa
trolman, who is in charge of the patrol pro
gram, and he is assisted by Sgt. O. R. Rob
erts, also a former patrolman here, and for
a time chief of police of Waynesville.
The candidates' day begins each morning
at 6:45, and ends at 10:15 that night. The
schedule is timed to the minute, and when a
young man finishes the three-months course,
he knows, and his superiors know, his abil
ity as an officer.
The candidates must study law, safety,
first aid, marksmanship, driving, court pro
cedure, interviewing, traffic, and scores of
other things which an officer must perform
efficiently. Believe it or not, they must even
be able to type 40 words a minute, and their
performance with a gun is much more de
manding than that of branches of military
service. They must know how to handle
criminals of all varieties, yet at the same
time, protect themselves from often danger
ous and armed men and women.
The young men spend literally hours train
ing how to approach a car which they have
stopped: how to disarm a person, to say
nothing of the technical and legal side of
making out wreck reports.
One of the young men. who is at the top
of his class, is Jon Mac Stinnett, of Canton,
a former footlwdl player, and who looks every
inch an outstanding officer. Stinnett's
marksmanship record, and his first aid
grades lead the class.
The whole program is one of thorough
training, ami not just classroom procedure,
getting facts from a book. The candidates
sweat out their assignments on the field, on
the road, and pistol range. To be sure there
are classes in law, as taught by Mr. Alley?
and according to the candidates, there's
sweating in that too ? because those who
fail to learn all the course are soon return
ed home to pursue some other work. The
training is done on a highly scientific basis,
and now on a field and in the new Institute
of Government Ruilding that is inducive to
the program of hard work and study.
Growth Of Churches
In Area Gratifying
Another congregation has made plana for
an expansion of their physical facilities ?
the First Presbyterian church. Plans call
for raisin? $80,000 to build an addition to
the present structure.
Durin? the past few years, there has been
a steady expansion program under way a
mon? the churches of the area. Several new
ones have been completed, and others are
now under construction.
In the past six weeks, we know of about
five that have been dedicated, with another
set for Sunday?Ninevah Baptist.
The Hazelwood Baptists have a beautiful
church under construction.
Expansion of our churches is a yratifyin?
piece of news.

walk again and his legs be sound and whole1
There is a story back of this little boy and his
broken legs. It is a story that every citizen, every
man or woman who serves on a jury, every prose
cuting officer, every judge, every law enforcement
officer, every teacher, every preacher, and every
one of us down to the least should know and
ponder It's the story of a man. a grown man, an
adult, who led a highway patrolman en a wild
chase which began in Robeson County and ended
55 miles and less than an hour later in Hoke Coun
ty. There were four occupants of the car besides
the wild driver and including the boy with the
broken legs. All were injured, and one at least most
critically.
Highway Patrolman James S. Jones, who gave
chase to the speeding car. tavs that he clocked It
at speeds of 110 miles an hour. And the editor of
The Lumberton Robesonian says that the man,
driving at times on winding country roads, beat
the record of the winner of the big Labor Day
stock car race at Darlington. S. C.
And one wonders what course the law will take
In this case? Ttoe driver is charged with speeding
110 miles anv hour, two stop sign violations, failure
ta stop for a red traffic signal, and the siren of the
pursuing officer. On the face of K we'd gay a man
like tkat should never be allowed to drive a motor
vehicle again on the public highways. But as the law
operate* and aa the State of North Carolina doaa,
he could wall be back on the highways before a
year ta out.?Law Inbui g Bgrhange.

Stories
By CARL GOERCH
Captain Bill Winston ia a flier,
lie received hU training during
the first World War and has
been flying ever aince. At the
present time he ia captain of one
of those huge planes that fly
between Liabon, Portugal and
Nf* York. On the way over,
thfjr stop at Bermuda and the
Aioree.
Needless to aay, he has had
all kinds of interesting experi
ences, although he is a modest
man and you sort of have to
drag them out of him. Some time
ago he was la Raleigh on a vaca
tion and we met him at a din
ner party. The guests, naturally,
were carious about his flying
activities and plied him with all
kinds of questions. He didn't
mind answering them, and didn't
even smile when one lady asked -
him in ail seriousness what he
would do If all four motors of
his plane Were to stop suddenly
while he was many miles from
land.
There was one tale he nar
rated which made quite an im
pression, and we'll give it to you
in his own words, as nearly as
possible.
There's a well-known resort?
said the Captain?near Lisbon,
which is known as the Por
tuguese Riviera. It's a handsome
place; a gambling casino, many
handsome residences, flowers
growing in profusion everywhere
and one of the finest beaches I
ever have seen.
For a number of years 1 have
been interested in photography,
and whenever I visit strange
places I always carry my camera
along with me.
On this particular occasion. 1
was walking along the heach and
happening to glance Into the open
door of n cabana, saw a young
lady whom I had met on a previ
ous occasion. Several times, in
fact She was born in Paris but
is the daughter of American Bar
ents. and I had visited in their
home A verv beautiful charm
ing and altogether delightful per
son.
When I saw her. she" evident- '
ly was Just getting readv to go
Into the water. All she had on
was a yet-v .short natr of trunks?
nothing eise at all.
I waved at her. and she waved
hark There wasn't the slightest
air of embarrassment about her.
"Good morning." I said
"Good morning " she renlied
"You rertalnlv look heautiful
this morning." I remarked.
"Thank* vou." she said
"Would vou mind letting me
take vour Picture?"
She said she wouldn't mind at
all So I asked her to come out
on ?the heach in order that I
mleht take advantage of the
bright sunshine
Without a moment's hesitation,
she acceded to my renuest. There
were plenty of other neonle
around hut no one naid the
slightest attention to her In fact,
her costume wasn't considered
unusual.
"How about standing over there
In the water'1" T suggested.
She waded out into the ocean
until the water ramp ud to her
knees "That's fine." I told her.
"Now stand there lust a moment."
She made a most charming Die- ?
ture and 1 took two or three (
snapshots of her But. while all
this was going on. an evtra large
wave came along and nretty well J
covered her with sprav.
She shivered sllghtlv and ]
glanced at her trunks I call them
trunks, but thev realty were
nothing hut abbreviated silk
panties. They were clinging
closely to her. after they had
been thoroughly saturated with
water.
Fvidentlv the cold, clammy
feeling didn't appeal to her. be
cause as she came walking out
of the water, she ealmlv informed
me: "I'm going to take them
off."
And that's exactly what she
did
"Now then." 1 suggested, "how
about sitting over there on the
sand so I can take just one more
picture?"
She smiled nonchalantly and
and seated herself In a very at
tractive pose. People, strolling
along the beach, paused and
watched what was going on. They
smiled at her. and she smiled
back at them. She and her par
ents had been there for several
weeks and it was evident she had
made herself very popular with
other folks who were staying at
the resort.
"Jiist one more," I told her.
I don't know; I might 'have
taken some other pictures, be
cause she really wee e moat beau
tiful subject. However, at that
moment has nurse came along
and said It urns time for her to
get dressed and go up to the

GREATER JUNALUSKA
Lake Junaluska Methodist As
sembly has closed the most suc
cessful year In its history, with
the past season running from
May until the middle of Septem
ber.
Between 38,000 and 40.000 per
sons visited Junaluska the past
season. For the first time in his
tory. the Jurisdictional confer
ence was held there, as were also
the world-wide Methodist Coun
cil, the Federation of the Wo
man's Society of Christian Serv
ice. and other groups. In addition
to these the usual conferences
and assemblies for youth and
adults were held.
Already plans are being made
for the 1957 program, with 31
conferences having been sched
uled.
For the first time in history the
annual Western North Carolina
Conference will be held at Juna
luska next summer, according to
a unanimous vote of the body in
Winston-Salem Saturday.
This will give the churches of
Haywood County an opportunity
to co-operate in entertaining a
conference, when otherwise the
individual churches could not ac
commodate the large group of
delegates attending.
Expanded facilities at Junalus
ka the past two yeafs, have made
possible many gatherings on con
ference and jurisdictional levels,
and have brought to this section
an increased number of visitors.

Rambling 'Round
By Frances Gilbert Frailer
We have often wondered how a comedian can make hi' humor
?o spontaneous that it can reach his audience . . . stage, radio or
television . . . and have it react with hearty laughter The lines that
seem to flow so glibly and gayly from the funster's lips have been
rehearsed and rehashed many times before they reach their final
diction for the benefit of the listeners. It seems inrreditable tfu:t
repetition doesn't sap the wit from every word until the results
would be completely flattened out.
In rehearsals, these performers do not have the assistance of
costumes or scenery or, must important of all, the reassuring pres
ence of an audience. We sometimes remark about the fixed or glazed
smile on the face of a singer or dancer. The wonder is that they can
smile at all while concentrating on the perfect timing of a note or
the execution of a dance step that will bring them to the exact
second of their exit.
In the making of a movie, miscues can be remedied by retakes
but when an actor, singer or dancer presents himself before the live
public, he is strictly on his own and a "fluff" can make or break him.
Did you hear about the moron who thought yon had to bury
the hatchet in it to have an open mind?
As the months shrink themselves int oweeks, then dtui^the
campaign speeches grow in intensity and ferocity. Calm c^Hbra
tion expands into heated declamations, and words are used ^Jlbm
munition for frontal attacks. Nary a kind word for an opponent', and
if there is a pat on the back there probably, is a concealed verbal
stiletto in the hand that did the patting.
In just one monrh and two days, will come the judgment day:
not the Biblical one, we pray, but the verdict given by Mr. and Mrs.
Jobnnv Q. Public and family. The political pot that has been steadily
boiling since election day, 1952, will be refilled to the top with fresh
water and set back on the stove to start its everlasting stewing again.
The ins will begin drawing plans for 1960 and the outs will start
scribbling on the blue prints.
Oh, politics, thou art a fickle jade but a siren that men will
follow to the end of time!
Uncertainty is aVridge that has a hidden broken plank in it.
To those of us who have followed the trials and tribulations of
the Brooklyn and Milwaukee baseball struggle for supremacy . . .
and the pennant . . . last Sunday was a day to be long remembered.
And add to this an excellent ninety minute program on television
that lasted from 3:00 to 4:30. As everyone knows by this time, the
Dodgers emerged a bit shaken but victorious and a wave of sympathy
was sent toward the Milwaukee camp. It was a hard battle to lose
but, as always, it was a game team and won the admiration of the
sport world even in its disappointment.
As this is written, the World Series is still two days otr and a
lot can happen in the first and second games before this comes to
the reader's eyes. There was a time when we took these events
very seriously and worked almost as hard before the radio as the
players did on the field. As the years taught us a lot more sense,
we realized that in one month arfter the end of the series, the
average listener had forgotten who won. And this is certainly as it
should be, for too many important "things come popping into exist
ence that require a depth of comprehension which should not be
muddied up with the past tense.
"Thank you" uses only eight letters of the alphabet, so there
are plenty left for other uses.
ly and then I practically ran out
the door. You have to mak? a
break, but it is an experience
you never forget. You do not talk
about it much, because the kid
grows up very fast sod it is em
barrassing for him to hear about
it, but it is one of those experi
ences that sticks with you for
ever.
Soon, however, too soon?you
get a letter from thia same child
and he is a paratrooper and some
stranger is pushing him out of
an airplane down to the earth
below, and the first thing you
think of is a filled-up, bewildered
kid, all starched up, trying to
twist his neck to see behind a pil
lar.
Maybe the system has been
changed in recent years. Every
thing has become so fancy. I
imagine they come after the kids
in a station wagon these days
driven by a child psychologist.
Is this so??Harry Golden in the
Carolina Israelite.
