K een Competition In Music Many people hanm been encaa rayed by w iat they -felt was a trend in inereamtd in to eat in symphonic music in this state. How e\ ?r. the records show that symphonic music is not in the same league as some other types of music when it comes to yettipy people to pi. nk down the cash for tickets. Down in Charlotte recently the Charlotte Si mphony opened their $i?th season, and on tl ? same niyht a rock 'n roll show played jnt a short distance awny from the sym pi ony perfbrmance. The Symphony had an attendance of a b ut 1,500, while the rock 'n roll crowd was al ove the 10,500 mark.

And Charlotte, like other towns, h s reason to be proud that it has its own s; mphony orchestra. "But it's not time for real whooping yet.

Orchardmen Have To 1 tilize Every Apple Just like every group, orchardmen have C eir share of problems, and perhaps at t nes. have more than the average person n ight suspect. There is the rush period of picking the f uit between the rij>ening stage and freer. ii g weather, which is a major uncertainty. Then there is the proldem of the delicious f uit being too close a highway or road, anil b ing "lost".

Within an hour a second one came in, telling hi .v far it still has to go. Put together, they picture a region moving at a m ady clip along a road that still winds a long way til card. The first of these stories reported a speech by th> general manager of the Jacksonville, Tla., el imber of commerce. He was compering Southern rr Iroad shipment of 1030 and 1955. The 1030 figures," he said, "are the story of a re i?n which was picking raw materials out of Its hi ds and out of its bums and shipping them other pl ces to be processed by other people and shipped bi k to us as finished articles. The 1035 figures show a reversal of that situ Big Rally Is Predicted Haywood Democrats are predicting the largest political rally ever staged in the coun ty will be held tonight at the Clyde school, when Senator W. Kerr Scott mfckes his first address to such a grotrp in this county. Haywood has long been known for its keen interest in politic*, and a campaign al ways stirs the public into action. Realizing this, the prediction of a large crowd can be well founded.

His approach might have been offensive at times to some members of the Assembly, yet he had defi nite convictions about his plans, realizing his work would not be a bed of roses. On Sunday he Ixtame ill, and died in a Raleigh hospital a few hours later. Mr. Coffin spent the summers here in Haywood, on the farm in the Bethel area, where his wife "Miss Gertrude" was born. He loved Haywood, and was complimentary of the progressiveness of the county in his writings for a number of newspapers throughout the state. The "Skipper" had the satisfaction of knowing he had taught some of the best known newspaper men and women in the. "States today, and we know he shared a deep satisfaction every time they wrote a story? which now runs into the thousands daily. The News-Herald Goes Daily Down at Morganton Monday, the interest ing and modern qemi-weekly News-Herald became a five-day daily newspaper. Miss Beatrice Cobb, publisher, and her as sociates, for mnny years, have published one of the leading semi-weekly newspaper in the South. They have consistently won honor ?tfter honor. In recent months The News-Herald has in stalled a larger press in a new addition to their plant, and made other mechanical im provements. Changes have also been made in the editorial departments of the paper in preparation for the stepped-up publication. Burke county is fortunate in having such a fine newspaper, as Miss Cobb, J. D. Fitz. assistant publisher, and Stanley Moore, edi tor, have given them throughout the years. We know the newspaper on the daily scale will be eagerly received throughout the county and area. ation. We are now not only a raw material ship ping region; we are a finished product region. "In another few years wp will see even greater and greater increases on the side of productive activity, and moving away from tlK> have-not region to a region that leads the entire United States as the greatest single economic area of this great country." No sooner was this glowing report laid out than the United States Census Bureau dropped a wet blanket on it. The bureau reports that more people were born in the South than in any other section of the country between 1950 and 1955. It sets the figure at 4,753, 0*0. But for every four that were born, one person was abandoning the South for other parts. Migra tion totaled 1,141,900 in those yews. If people leave the region of their birth, they usuatfy go beeao.se opportunities seem better else where. The "New South" obviously is still a mean ingless thing to hundreds of thousands. Many of the migrants are Negroes streaming to such Northern centers as Detroit. Chicago and New Y?rk. Some of them say they go in the hope of softening tha stigma of raOe. More of them hope to improve thetr economic position, because the South s industrial revolution is largely passing the N'igro by.

Since we are in a building program this pub licity was a source of inspiration to the membership of the church, and. to the numerous friends of our church who are also glad to see the work of the kingdom of Cod prosper, and move forward in such a definite manner.

First Baptist Church John Ivan Kizer, Pastor Views Of Other Editors SAY IT AINT SO One by one the quaint, mellow myths about the weather have withered under the merciless glare of Meteorology. Squirrels, frantically hunting acorns, hick ory nuts and other fare, are not predicting a cold winter; there arc probably just too many squir rels per acrorn and hickory nut. Horses are lacking shaggy coats; is the wintdV- going to be mild? Perhaps smoother textures sim ply mean they've changed thejr menu this fall. But the wooly bear worms have thus far withstood this heartless debunking by hard statistics. We noticed in another publication that Dr. C. H. Curran of the American Museum of Natural History has been keeping score on these wormy weather fore casters for the past nihe years. Collecting caterpillar samples has occasioned atr annual outing along the hanks of the Hudson River. And a reporter got to going along to attest that the brown hnnrlc arnnn/f thn nt Knmuicn K1 oolr fuzz was either wide or narrow. For a time Dr. Cumin felt com pelled to admit there might be something to it. The wooly bears were right three years in a row. But now he says this year no more caterpillar hunts. The little squirmers have not proved reli able, To which announcement his fellow - hunters have chorused, "Say it isn't so."

MAKES A LOT OF SENSE The three-day jail sentence and fine of $100 which Judge Malcolm Seawell imposed in Wake Supe rior Court in the case of a man charged with speeding makes a lot of sense. This defendant was J. Percy Flowers of JoJyiston County, a man with a reputation for tough dealing with officers of the law In this case, though, he was charged simply with speeding. There have been in North Car olina for a long time people who have favored short jail sentences for those convicted of serious traf fic violations, and speeding can be considered io that class since speed causes so many highway fatalities. It is to be hoped that Judge Seawell will impose simi lar short sentences on other traf fic defendants whose records war rant such action. Three days in jail will be a lot more punishment to the average man than a heavy fine. And, it is to be hoped that oth er judges will follow the example Judge Seawell has set.?Raleigh News ami Observer THE AMERICAN WAY ^rrfT n-^-- - - - ? ??????*-? DKOMT Wt IS D flKT Mf Dolt-Yourself!

I Rambling 'Round By Frueea Gilbert Frazfer Nantes we see almost daily in public news are those of John Foatm DulVs and Henry Cabot Lodge. There may be others of like ilk but these two are the ones most uppermost in our minds at the moment. And what intrigues us about those names is the fact that they are always used as a three-name title. Have you ever seen it printed "John Dulles,- or "Henry Lodge"? Yet Mr. Eisenhower is satisfied with one additional name, as is Mr. Stevehson. How did this tri-name appellation first begin'.' That it has con tinued is due to the fact that repetition has made it almost mandatory and usage has, made it acceptable. We take for granted the names of Joe McCarthy, Ezra Benson, Jim Haggerty and dozens of others as perfectly correct. If they have middle names, the public isn't constantly so reminded and advised. Usage is a peculiar thing for it will soon make a well-ridden path and one stays within the confines of said path from then on. Per haps we might ail he a bit better off if we kicked over the traces once in awhile and hopped out of the rut, for our return to routine would not be so hard to endure. "Ali work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy" is an age old adage and probably refers to doing the same thing day in and day out until w? do not realize there are other ways of doing things, such as saying John Dulles and Henry Lodge. Heard in passing: "My. but isn't she strutting her stuff! just because she has a new coat with MILLENNIUM lining." J With the passing of Daylight Saving time in many cities, we devotees of television and radio are going to bed a lot later than usual. The earlier programs have hopped themselves up an hour and, in most cases, it's the programs we want most to see and hear. And we also find ourselves torn between the new and the old . television and radio. The fall and winter programs are returning to radio, while new ones are being added to television. And then there an? the new books and magazines offering every inducement to sit up and enjoy their entertainment and instruction. And do you know, there are people who sav: "I get so bored because I can't find anything interesting to do"? Ohmigosh! A bore is the one that does the talking while vou are forced to listen. It had been a long, hard day at the office and Mr. Abee was tired to the very bone. But as he put the car in the garage he felt a deep satisfaction that, at last, there was peace, comfort, rest and a good dinner waiting for him. He unlocked the front door and went in where he was met with an ominous silence. He called out several times but no reply. He went through all the rooms, where a heavy nothingness was all that greeted him. He called out "Any body home?" but only utter stillness came back Just then the tela phone rang so impetuously that Mr. Abee jumped, fearing the worst. He picked up the receiver and said "Hello," then his face went through a series of contortions while the voice at the other end of the line kept up a rapid fire conversation. Finally when there was a pause, Mr. Abee said with a deep sigh: "All right, dear. I'm leav ing now." He reached for his coat and hat. opened the door and went to the garage for the car. You see. Mr. Abee had told his family to meet him down town for dinner and a movie. Poor Mr. A be 2 and his faulty-"memory!
