And most of this acreage was purchased at a nom inal price, considering its present worth and great potential. It wa.s bought for around eigh teen dollars per acre This, thanks to Major .1 H Howell and the board of aldermen serving with , him at the time It was a very for- , tunite instance of foresight for us ?and iust at the time when other interests were secretly negotiating ,, with the owners for the boundary j | S'.TiO.llOO Worth Already Sold From this boundary five cut tings have b'en made since 1948.

Eighty thousand young white pines and poplars hav" been set. along as the mature timber has been sold to the highest contracting bidders For fire protection there hus been built forty miles of road Into and around the watershed boundary. These also serve as log ging roads Saved Additional Tax Increase At the time our $300,000 bond issue was voted for the new filter* ing plant and water-expansion pro gram there was only a 26% in crease in the already low city tax rate. Manager Ferguson says that, as a matter of simple urithmatic. it would have been necessary to make a SO'; increase had it not i been for the timber already sold from the watershed. This surplus has been sufficient, he says, to take care of all paving of streets and sidewalks, the laying of water mains and sewer lines, even, when there has been such ex tensions' ;is (hat which was"made' on th-> Del I wood road. Will Take Care of Future Growth And rVmember^A* our popula-1 a 1 Hon increases in Waynesville, Hardwood, Junaluska, and suburb an territory, all that the "City Fathers" will have to do to take car- of the situation will be this: Just provide the facilities like a new intake dam. etc for the larger supply of water which will be am- j pie Meanwhile, that 10.000 acres of protecting forest (a most wonder ful asset and ready source of in come for our town) will-.be grow ing. growing, to be sold at the right time as merchantable timber.

Is Pretty Nancy Kefauver Democrats' Secret Weapon? By JANE EADS WASHINGTON ? Now that her four children are back in school, friends are saying it's just possible Nancy Kefauver will change her mind and go out to prove she's the "secret weapon" her husband says she is. The pretty suhurn-haired Nancy, who Estes Kefauver himself said was his greatest asset in seeking the Democratic presidential nomin ation back in '52, said last spring she did not intend to take the stump with her husband when he announced he'd make a second try l'or the top spot. Question is: Will she hold to that decision now that he's running for vice ithesident"' "Our children are now in thej formative stage, and it's important j that thov have at least one of their | parents at home to help guide them." she told me then, and she j has re-stated her determination to stay away from eampaigning on several occasion* since. Those who attended the political ly-ambitious Tennessean's press confer* nee when he made his an nouncement to run for the presi dency could not help but notice hi- wife's regret at his decision Kefauver did the explaining. His wife W'ould "do her share, but she won't he able to get out ^n campaign trips as much as she did before," lie said "The children are older and badly need one of us." ? I It was also well known that the | children, Linda, 15, David, 10. i Diana, 9, and Gail, 5. didn't want their father to become a candidate attain. He said the two oldest objected because they didn't like to be con spicuous at school. Linda, especi ally shy, is reported to have told her father she was going back to Tennessee if he ran again. The J quartet also got up a petition] against his running. While her husband whipped about the country campaigning in the primaries before deciding to give up the fight for the presiden cy, Nancy and the children spent j the summer on a farm near Mc-j Minnville. Tenn, Now the young-' vters are back in school. Linda in public junior high, the three others in the Horace Mann public school, where Trieia Nixon. 10, and her sister .Julie, 8, Vice President Richard Nixon's daughters, are also enrolled. "He's a wonderful father, the best-natured man I've ever known, but he works too terribly hard," Nancy Kefauver told me.

CONGRATULATIONS ST. JOHN'S We Are Happy To Have Shared In The * ... * Construction Of This Modern Building ? PLUMBING By RAY C. DAVIS . ? Ashtville. N. C. i ? , t^PHREm PROMS Kids Love Kitchens By CARRY CIEVILAND MYERS, Ph.D. THE most dangerous place for i the creeping, toddling child is the . kitchen. Yet it Is the most inter- 1 esting place for him, not only because of all the alluring things j there, but also because his mother , is often there. Without adequate ; training and protection, he is : often "at her feet" iiethe kitchen. Keep Him Out Until your child can walk, why let him be in your kitchen at all, ; except at mealtime? Have a gate to keep him out or have him in a baby pen near the door to the kitchen where he can see and hear you. Before being allowed in the kitchen, he should be well trained in the unambiguous meaning of No, said Just once in a moderate tone. Then he will be ready to stay in a safe corner of the kitchen, away from the stove, while you are working You might let him have pans and other sate kitchen things to play with. No other toys are more attractive to him. You might even provide him with a low kitchen shelf or cupboard of his own. Safe Place Not only must he learn to stay in a particular sate place, but he must also learn not to reach above him for things. He will learn rather quickly if you spank him Immediately for each offense. The mother who does not be lieve in spanking or does not ad minister it effectively can hardly ? IMS. Kin tmtw expect a toddler to be reasonably sate in the kitchen, no matter how vigilant she may be. Of course, you must always be vigilant and never leave danger ous things around which ha might get at or pull down on him self. But this vigilance will not be enough. Any person may forget sometimes and be distracted by urgent matters and a little child is quick to seize the opportunity to reach for alluring things. You can't afford to step out of the kitchen, even if you consider him well-trained, and leave a small child, even the youngster, four or five, there alone. Increased Dangers Occasionally, a young mother wtll leave her youngster with a housekeeper or baby-sitter who is busy in the kitchen. She may not be as vigilant as you are. Dangers to your tot may Increase then if you have not trained him to avoid certain things and places In the kitchen. And good habits do earry over. The young child who is effectively trained by the parent to avoid certain definite things and places will also avoid them in her ab sence. This is not a myth. Habits well learned do persist The secret is in how consistent the training was.
