The school, according to all reports from authorities on school plants, is among the most modern in the South. The fire-proof structure appears to be ?practical, and one of those "tailor-made" jobs for the convenience and comfort of stu - 'deut* and faculty. There is something striking about the building, especially the side facing Meadow . Street, with the 2-story windows trimmed in stainless steel. The halls of the school are of tile which lends itself to easy cleaning, and from our observations in many schools, the walls of the halls get about as much abuse as any other part of the structure. The St. John's School has every right to be proud of their new plant, and its modern touch in school structure. ? Halloween Presents Serious Problems >, At long last, many adults are taking the rtiafter of providing a program for Hal loween to keep the youngsters out of mis chief. Various plans have been suggested .and tried. We have had several right here in Waynesville ? one was a big |>arty at the stadium; another was turning over to the youngsters the windows in the business dis trict to paint with water colors, and prizes being offered for the best. All these had merit, and created a lot of intejrest. Officials have always been concerned a bout Halloween, especially as to traffic. Officers point out that dark costumes as worn by many youngsters are hard to see # I after dark on streets or highways, and makes both driving and walking a hazard. The traffic exj>erts are urging that parents keep children off the streets and highways this vear in an effort to prevent accidents. .Mtrtupsts are warned that on Holloween one oiifi expect youngsters to spring from al most nowhere in front of a moving vehicle. To sfly the least, the occasion is trying on many people, and extreme caution, and ap plication of common sense is the need of the day ? and especially Halloween night. 4-H Judging Teams Go Places The Haywood 4-H livestock judging team got so close to taking first place in the state that it was pust a matter of four |>oints? first place had 1,109, and the Haywood team 1,105. Any way, the state knows that the Haywood team was excellent ? While the team was making a high rating, two members took for themselves, top in dividual honors ? Jerry Ferguson of Fines Creek was first, and Verlin Edwards, of Maggie, was fourth in the state. The 4-H boys have been doing an excel lent job, and indications are that they will continue to be at the top in the state work. VIEWS OF OTHER EDITORS Poultry Picture Is Not Bright Figures released out of Raleigh last Friday about the slate's poultry industry and its boom to second place as an agricultural cash "crop" could, on the surface, excite optimism if it weren't for the un healthy condition of the industry, a condition that has prevailed for almost a year.

Our Trunk Sewer Line Presents Heal Problems ' ? One of the major problems for this com munity, for many years, has been adequate sewerage disposal. Until 1940 the raw sew erage was dumped into Richland Creek. In 1989 construction started on a 6-mile trunk sewer line from Hazel wood to Pigeon River. The line was a WPA project, built at a cost of over $250,000. The line, at times, has given trouble by overflowing. Engineers have attributed the overflow to a number of factors ? too much surface water getting into the feeder lines; heavy industrial water dumped in at a time of peak load, and lack of cleaning the Ijne. The latter problem was approached by the two towns buying equipment for about $7,000 and spending several months clearing the line of a considerable amount of fooeign mntter. This gave some relief to the periodic overflow, but not enough. * The three boards ? Waynesville, Hazel wood. and Lake Junaluska ? realizing the seriousness of the matter, met last Wednes day and issued an order that an engineer or engineering firm be brought in to make a thorough study of the matter, and to make recommendations for correcting the now un satisfactory performance of the line. The thrt?e boards are paying jointly for the study, and also went on record as going forward with the correcting procedures as fast as possible when the engineers make their recommendations. This action was a definite forward step, and one which is a good investment from every standpoint. The officials are in full agreement that the time is not far off when the state and federal laws will demand that towns no longer dut\ip raw sewerage into main streams and rivers. When* that law is put into effect, the towns will be faced with the construction of an expensive disposal plant. The work that will be done on the sewer line now will no\ be wasted, because the line would in all probability have to be used to get the sewerage from here to the disposal plant. And when the stream |>ollu tion law clamps down, the matter of over flow into Richland Creek will be a major violation. The boards are acting wisely by getting started tm the matter now, and planning and studying ahead on a project that is surely to come before too long. WC College Expands The current enrollment of almost 1,200 at Western Carolina College, Cullowhee, is in dicative of the rapid growth of the institu tion in recent years. Officials point out that there is a waiting list, but they are working on plans to try to overcome that by the construction of addi tional facilities. Included in the plans is a new dormitory, which it is believed will get under construc tion soon. With 1169 freshmen in the school, it is easy to see the urgent need for the ad ditional housing facilities. much from the reduced prices for broilers at the farm. In the retail stores prices have continued to maintain a relatively high level. What is the underlying cause for low broiler prices at the farm? Experienced observers of the poultry scene maintain that prices are "controlled" by the purchasers of huge amounts of poultry pro duced in North Caroling. 'Jhey also cite the com petition of the North Georgia Del-Mar-Va areas. Assuming that prices are "controlled" by the buy ers what, then, is the hope for the future? ? In the "matter of broilers it matters not how many chickens are produced. If the grower fails to receive a fair return for hi* product he is head ing towards trouble and that is putting it mildly. Many are already in trouble because of their inability tp earn a profit for their labors. Time was when periodic gluts resulted in re duced prices. This year prices have continued low whether there was or was not an over supply of broilers. Is lack of sound merchandising at fault? Could be. North Carolina's poultry ha sncver been sound ly merchandised. All too frequently broilers are still sold out of the barrel or box while competitive broilers come into North Carolina markets attrac tively packaged and smartly merchandised from the standpoint of making it easy for the housewife to buy. It is no unusual thing in Siler City, for instance, for the housewife to have a choice of four or five different brands of packaged poultry, none of which is produced in North Carolina. Are other producing areas getting the jump on as in merchandising? It is being cited that only six cents of the con sumer meat dollar is spent for poultry. Assuming that the demand could be increased would there be a corresponding increase in the prices paid for broil ers at the farm? Or are we going through a "shakeout" period of low prices in order to rid the industry of sub-mar ginal producers who fail to maintain quality stand ards? These are questions that "re being raised despite the optimistic predictions of still further growth of the poultry industry.?Chatham County News.

JACK RILEY Director of Publicity Carolina Power & Light Co. Raleigh, N. C. Little Mary w$s on her way to school when she tripped and fell on the sidewalk in front of Mrs. Jones' house. Seeing her stumble, tbe kindly Mrs. Jones hurried down the steps to help her up. "There, there, you must be a brave little girl and not cry," "Cry. my eye." sputtered little Mary, jumping to her feet. "Darned if I'm not going to sue somebody!" ? Carlsbad Current Argus. A harried business executive went to his physician to get a prescription for sleeping pills only to find that he was allergic to sedatives. "What about some of this twilight sleep I've read about?" he asked the doctor. "Oh, that's only for labor," was the reply. "Good heavens!" exclaim ed the executive, "haven't you anything for ' management?" ? Jacksonville Times-Union,' Views of Other Editors ; literacy wanted Full employment is a great thing, especially for the worker, who finds getting a job fairly easy. But there are drawbacks to the sttuation as it affects com pany efficiency. A shoe manufacturer has com plained about hiring young high school gradutaes "who cannot spell, do simple arithmetic or write legibly." Presumably the tack of the de scribed scholastic attainments would be no handicap to a young person employed at a machine in a factory, but the manufacturer objected to hiring such "handi capped persons" for office work. A leading drug chain, according to the Wall Street Journal, says it is unable to find enough can didates who want to learn, at rel atively modest pay, the step-by step operation which is neces sary knowledge in the training of a store manager. A Cleveland, Ohio, restaurant chain operator bemoans the number of "float ers"' who Won't stick to a job. Perhaps the unqualified high school graduate can pass the buck to the educational system. Per haps he was not given proper training in reading, writing and arithmetic. If so. this is a state of affairs for which a lot of us are to blame. But it seems to be unfair to blame the educational system for an altitude of mind?an unwill ingness to learn the job from the ground up ? an attitude which, some critics think is characteris tic of a generation ? of newcom ers in the business world. Maybe life has been too easy for them. Maybe jobs are too easy to find. We are almost sure none of the newest generation in American business has read Ho ratio Alger. On the other hand, if anyone has read Alger books, he has found something which the older generation missed. Because, while Honest John the Bootblack exhibited the admir able qualities of thrift and indus try. it was not these qualities which made a millionaire of our hero. He usually managed to by pass a good many steps up the ladder by marrying the Boss' daughter.?Amarillo (Tex.) Daily News. "THOSE HATS" Women ? and men as well ? seem to have lost the battle to the big hats. As oversized feminine headgear has steadily infiltrated from top fashion circles on down during the last year, most aver age women?who are never "the first by whom the new- is tried" ?have loudly protested they would never, never wear "those hats". Men, as they saw big in verted pots and pans appearing on women's heads?and shutting off vision in public assemblies ? have proclaimed firmly "Those hats must go!" For awhile it looked as if they might, as the bareheaded vogue held them at bay during the summer. But now women have capitulated and are storming hat bars as well as sal ons for fall models of the bulky headgear. Seldom has a radical change in fashion made its way unmodified against so much outspoken oppo sition. Some fashion historians see political significance in what is happening. They warn that when women begin to flatten their figures and wear exaggerat ed hats there is trouble brewing. Witness the hats before the French Revolution and those just before the First World War. Oth ers say the big hats signify nos talgia for tfte 1911-12 era, those last good old days when small wars, and far-off ones, were still possible. But fashion authorities more generally say that styles, like sun spots, business trends and tent caterpillars, have their inevitable cycles of change. Designers with a sense of timing anticipate these. Women?and especially men?at first resent this change, then ridi cule it, then embrace it. As James Laver, fashion historian at Lon don's Victoria and Albert Mu seum. has pointed out, "Women don't wear what Ihey like, they like what they wear." He might well have added "especially if others are wearing it."?Washing ton Post and Times Herald. WE ARE PECULIAR PEOPLE All Americans believe in schools and churches. Even those who send their children to private schools willingly support the pub lic school system. We spend less than four billions per year on all our churches. We spend less than seven billions on our public schools. Yet we Ameri cans, spend over 9 billions of dol lars annually for alcoholic bev erages. Maybe, after all, we really could afford to spend a bit more to support our churches and schools.?Silver Spring iMd.i Rec ord.

It was a 'ery happy little ray and It wanted everybody to be happy, too. On air, warm summer mornings it got up very early and opened up a >ath through a lovely pink eastern sky. It dearly loved to go peeking hrough windows, especially if it could enter and go dancing across ables where tlie families were eating breakfast. And how it would augh when baby hands tried to pick it up. It always managed to slip hrough tiny Angers. On clouay, rainy and snowy days, this little ?ay would be disconsolate and stay where no one could And it. One lovely October day, the little ray slipped out between two 3uildings and landed kcr-piunk on a lady and a gentleman walking ilong the street. The couple must have had a quarrel, for the lady tad tears in her eyes and the lips of the man were drawn tight. When he little ray of sunshine took in the situation, it slid down and :ouched the lady's lips. She suddenly smiled and looked up at the man ind so the little ray jumped over across the man's lips and then he milled too, and they went happily on their way. So, my children, remember that whenever you see any one smiling, you know there's a ray of sunshine right there. Before you criticize the other fellow, mentally swa^B keen with him. qw We'd really like to know why: It's so much easier to paik a car across the sidewalk than along side? People will push aside an ash tray so they can drop ashes on the Aoor? Some people like "rock and roll," and some do not like classical music? Some people can look at a beautiful Aower and not feel a glow of appreciation? Love can see no Aaws? An angry word, quickly forgotten by the speaker, can wound the listener so deeply? The setting sun acting as a floodlight on Nature's work of art. Fort Worth, Texas, and Wichita, Kansas, are planning on moving sidewalks for certain business streets. There will be no bus, taxi or automobile traffic allowed, and you will have to park your car at or near the entrance. Then you step on the moving sidewalk, and off you go. When you reach your desired destination, step off and go right in. It's as easy as that. These business sections will be landscaped and beautiAed to the extent of being not only a scenic attraction but a distinct march of progress. Perhaps it does sound a bit fantastic, but so did the telephone, the airplane and the H-bomb. Nothing is impossible in this fast moving scientiAc life of ours and who knows, we may yet be speeding down Main street at a standstill! He who speaks falsely has fear in his heart that his memory may fail him. with salaries ranging up to $30, 000 but with no qualified takers. That probably isn't as mysteri ous as it might appear at first blush. Men who could qualify for a $100,000 a year job are prob ably making at least half that now. The punitive taxation on the increase would- be so great Jhat the increase in take-home pay is not large enough to justify the jump. This phenomenon has been previously labeled the tax dis-in eentive, which pretty well de scribed it?The Montgomery Ad vertiser. 4*u<?eWASHINGT0N MARCH OF EVENTS Notion's Foreign Policies I Congress, Citizens Group To Undergo a 'Face-Lift' | Re - evaluating Relations > Special to Central Press Association WASHINGTON?The nation's foreign aid policies are expected to undergo a drastic "face-lifting" next year as the result of 'broad scale studies being conducted on three fronts. At work on the re-evaluation are the Senate foreign relations committee, the House foreign affairs committee and the recently created President's citizen committee headed by Benjamin Fairless, retired board chairman of United States Steel. One key question which is expected to be answered is whether the time has come for the United States to minimize military aid MMHaaHsssssis ? anH rlpvplnn nptv im<i<rtnatitra aoAnnmio gstislanr# programs.

S. attention from other Kremlin plans for expansion of the Soviet empire. | Secretary of State John Foster Dulles takes the view that Suez is of paramount importance and that some solution must be found to safeguard our Allies in Western Europe. However, he also is alert to the possibility of danger in the Far East. For that reason, U. S. diplomats are studying all developments out of Red China for a tipoff on any future Communist moves. 1 The U. S. will press its demands that Peiping compensate for the American plane shot down by the Red Chinese, even though the incident now has been overshadowed in the news by the Suez situa tion. In addition, the U. S. is still determined to back Nationalist Chinese President Chiang Kai-shek and will continue to oppose the seating of Red China in the United Nations. ? ? ? ? ? ATOM'S Pl'SH?A combination of atomic and chemical fuels at present offers the best possibility for success of the nuclear-pro pelled rocket the government is seeking to build. This means using the atom's heat instead of its explosive capa bility to power the space ships of the future, and it means that some conventional fuel will have to be carried. However, the propositions with which the scientists are working ,,-idtcate that the amount of propulsion obtained from a given ?mount of rocket fuel may be multiplied hundreds of times through the use of the extremely high temperatures which the atom makes possible. > An idea of the difference is given by comparison with the heat created in the flaming exhausts of present-day roc kets. These exhaust temperatures reach a maximum Thousand* of about 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit. By contrast, atomic heat created under controlled Degrees conditions has already passed the million-degree Fahrenheit mark, not to mention the hundreds of millions of degrees possible in uncontrolled explosions. The amount of propulsion provided by a rocket fuel is proportional to the extent and rapidity of iU expansion into gas, which in turn a propsrtioral to the temperature. ^ FINISHING SCHOOL
