There will be $1,000 in prizes to the par ticipating communities, which is a nice prize The CDP pfc>gram here in Haywood con tinues to go forward, and will continue, we feel, for a long time to come. Citizens in Hay wood have learned long ago the value of the CDP program, and that it is one of the best inylatments they have ever made of their time and efforts. The fact that Haywood is a pioneer in the Community Development Program can well be manifest by the mony accomplish ments in the county during the time since the program began in 1949. ?f*e program has steadily grown here, and thc^pcomplishments have been so numerous that It is hard for us to realize all that has taken place. It is encouraging to know that every rural church in Haywood has been repaired or re placed. In the past few years more churches were built than in the preceding 100 years. Now telephones are in every township, and Haywood leads all counties in Western North Carolina in the percentage of rural phones. The CDP has its hospitalization plan in op eration with Hospital Care. Every cemetery has been cleaned and kept so. Electricity is in 9K per cent of the homes. Active recrea tion, out-of-state farm tours, marked com munity boundaries, are other accomplish ments. Trply the CDP is a rural chamber of commerce for each community, and this is by fair a better county because of the CDP pro^gam. More Business ? No, Tournaments A lot of folk have been wonderinR why there were no frolf tournaments at the Coun try dub this past season. G. M. Kimball, npu*er, has the answers in a very con vmiepir manner. Kimball compared the week in Aujrust of this year when the tournament was not held witfo|?the same week of August last year wJjA there wis a tournament. The compari ^ofi a^hows room revenue this year up 17 per ?ent. green fees up 39 per cent, nnd dining room receipts un over 10 ner cent over the corwrcBponding week of last year. Tl?e manager continued by pointing out 'hat when the fact becomes more widely known that there is not a tournament going ?Hi that the percenages will be "increased ap preciably in the future." There's the answer. U. S. Sen. George Smathers of Florida "ouldn't resist a plug for his home state when he addressed the state democratic plat* form convention in Jefferson City last week. Smathers told the democrats that a vic ory/or the national ticket would mean pros werliy and more money for all. "And when you get that extra money," he concluded, "why don't you all come down to my state *o spend it."?Chariton Courier, Keytes ville, Mo. A Young Doctor Claimed By Death This community has been fortunate in having many young men to make names for themselves in various professions, business and political circles. We are justly prouJ of all of them. When one is suddenly called by death, jbst as he stepped on the threshold of what loomed as a bright and useful career, it makes our hearts sad for many reasons. One of our promising young men, who had already gone far in the medical profession, atul was just proving to the world some of his many abilities, died after just a week's illness ? Dr. Russell Spa hi on Underwood. 30. We had not teen him much since he rin iahed high school here, but his records of high scholarship and achievements follow ed him through Notre Dame, Duke School of Medicine and his work in various hos pitals. ? ? Veterans Day/ Sunday Nov. 11 America will have a strange feeling this Veterans Day ? Sunday, November 11 ? especially in view of the latest developments in Egypt and Hungary. Nevertheless, it is fitting that all Ameri cans take time this Sunday to think hack to the November 11th of 1918, when the guns on the western front were silenced by the signing of the Armistice. The Armistice then was for too short a duration, hut it was significant that a truce was called. Since the horrible war of 1917-1918, and even the worse one in the early 1910's, there has been talk of a potential third world war. t'riii/uru nr?> irnincr nr? from lirM of nontiliu > .? v- "I' "F' ?* I all over the world today asking that this much-talked of potential conflict pass, and that the issues instead he settled about a peace table. The thoughts of 1918 are with us this day, although mightily overshadowed by the news of the hour. Further Rural Progress In Haywood County The rural progress of Haywood is proven, in part, by the fact that the county leads all Western North Carolina in the number of telephones on farms. There are four coun ties that have more phones on farms than Haywood, but none of them in this section of the state. The state has an average of 19 per cent, whereas, Haywood has 48 per cent. rri. 1. e . ?ii c j l mere are iwo Taciors responsiDie ior ims achievement; first the people wanted the telephones, and Southern Bell was willing to install the lines and instruments. The two working closely together resulted in the hiyh percentage of rural homes now enjoying the many advantages of a telephone. There is absolutely nothing that irritates a columnist on a weekly paper more than finding an idea he has planned to develop already expressed probably more fluently than his limited ability could muster, in some national publication.

TEWS OF OTHER EDITORS Wheeled Progress Glamorous advertisements tell us again that the season of new automobile models has arrived. With it have come more genuine mechanical innova tions for 1937 than the mainly "face-lifted" cars of 1936?such advances as fuel injection, new kinds of suspension, redesigned frames for lower center of gravity, and perhaps best of all, a buzzer that sounds when the driver exceeds a designated speed. But speed is not altogether a rdatter of horse power and torque, though those, of course, are in creased. It is built into the very look of the new dreamboats. They seem to move standing still. "Long. low. and lovelier," they have a "swept-wing" line and a "hurricane of power" that exhilarates with "a new kind of motion". So whether you pick the "roost exciting car to day." the one that's "three full years ahead," the one that's "sweet, smooth, and sassy." or the one that asks Itself "what's new about the new you need a toe on those velvety power brakes to k*?p from resembling the supersonic plane that overtook bullets from its own guns But the news that the world turns is not limited wholly to the attractive displays of what's new In the automotive world From writers traveling in the Far Bast we have heard of late that styles in trans portation are changing there, even apart from the advent of the automobile The UaadrPuUad "rickshaw" or jinrikiaba has giv^n way to the peflcgb, g,klpdof balfc-blcycle. hgjf phaeton that glvOc the operator more mileage R?r pwh Bn (ei ee we bine Mm perileeh ilnai net enipi not jn ynarly jpotUlf , but?leet we forget?this, too. is ptngieai rhrlitlan Science Monitor. 1 I THE MOUNTAINEER Wayneevllle, North Carolina Main Street Dial GL 6-5301 The County Seat ?T Haywood County Published By The WATNESV1LLE MOUNTAINEER, IiK.

ThittMUy AfteriOOR, Na\ ember 8, 1856 i My Favorite Stories By CAHL GOEBCH Lou Lyon Craig is assistant cashier of the Bank of Windsor, down in Bertie County. Alton Ward is also a well known resident of the same town. A couple of yoars ago, Mr. Craig and Mr. Ward met on the streets of Windsor and Mr. Craig said: "Alton, let's go squirrel - hunting this afternoon." And Mr. Ward said: "Lou. that's a fine idea. We'll go out to Dad's place." So they got their guns and shells and drove out to Alton's father's, some six or seven miles from Wiudaor. They went hack into Roquist Pocosin and started hunting. Mr. Craig shot a squirrel. A few minutes later, Mr. Ward also shot one. They were about a hundred yards apart. Occasionally Mr Ward would hear a shot and he'd know that Mr. CraiK had seen an other squirrel and vice versa. It was the first time that they'd 1 been hunting this season and It wasn't long before Mr. Craig be came weary, so he seated himself on a log and decided to wait for Mr. Ward to come along Shortly thereafter, he heard his friend coming though the thick brush. "Here 1 am over here, Alton," he cried out, as he continued to gaze up into the trees, hoping to see another squirrel somewhere in the branches. He could hear Mr. Ward draw ing closer. "What luck did you have?" he called out. No answer from Mr. Ward. Then Mr. Craig looked around casually to see why his companion wasn't talking. And when he did, he almost fell off the log Ther??just a few yards away ?stood the biggest, blackest most ferocious looking bear he had ever seen in all his life. He looked at the bear; the bear looked at him. Then Mr Craig raised his gun l- : - - l- l J ? e s !_i mi ins Miuutuer ana nrt*a poim blank at the animal. As you probably know, when you go squirrel-hunting you use No fi shot. They're fine for squir rels. but they're of very little ac count when you want to go bear hunting They have just about as much effect on a bear as a sling shot would have on a dog. Nobody knows what this partic ular bear's intentions were. May be he was just curious about Mr. Craig's presence and wanted to see what he was doing out there in the woods. Maybe he was lonesome and wanted comnany. But when he felt those small shot stineing him. he evidently de cided immediately that Mr. Craig was no friend of his. So he growled and started in . Mr. Craig's direction. There's no use in asking you to guess what Mr. Craig did next, because there was only one thing he could do. He sprang up from that loe and sold out. Mr. Craig Isn't what you might call a fast runner, but he pro ceeded to put plenty of energy into his maneuvers. Seeing that the bear was just loning along and not gaining, he loaded his gun again, halted suddenly, and let the bear have another load of shot It made absolutely no impres sion upon Mr. Bear; he kept right on coming And Mr. Craig decided that the best thing for him to do was to keep rieht on going. So he did. Three or four times more, he launched a load of shot In the direction of the animal, with the simf result. As he crashed through the reeds and straw, birds would flutter out behind him, and he'd think that the bear was just about to nab him. So he'd nut on a little more speed And then, suddenly he saw an other near ancaa ot mm lie wa* trapped. The enemv was ahead of him and behind him. Taking a closer look, however, he observed that the animal in the path was a laree black hog. He sprang over the hog grace ful h- and continued on his way. About that same instant, the hoe observed the bear. The pork er evidently decided that Mr. Craie's company was preferable td that of the beaf, so with a wild soueal he took out after Mr. Craig The path was narrow. The hog decided that Mr. Craig wasn't moving as rapidly as circum stances warranted, so he tried to get past him. He caromed Mr. Craig up against a tree and shot out in front. Then Mr Craig took out after (he box. with tbe bear still run ning in third position. There's no telling how far the beer really did run the two of them. There's no telling how far Mr. Craig and the hog were soar ed by the fluttering of birds snd other noises In their pith. Their only interest was in getting as far away from trie bear as they could. When they finally got to a clear ing, Mr. Craig looked around and discovered that the bear was no longer in sight. Probably the ani mal had sat himsHf down to laugh over tire spectacle of Mr. Craig and the hog chasing each other. 1 At any rate, there were no signs of him. I Gasping painfullv for breath, Mr. Craig and the hog exchanged glances of congratulations Then Mr. Craig staggered on in the direction of the Ward home When he got there he was so com pletely fagged out that he couldn't ( move for half an hour. And he swears that regardless of how fond he is of slewed squirrel meat, he's not going out hunting in Roquist Pocosin again as long as he lives. illif': Views of Other Editors NO WONDER "HARMON" IS I SO MYSTIFYING The really fundamental mistake made by the New Yorker who ask ed the Florida State Chamber of Commerce for information about grits was not when he wrote it "harmony grits" it was when he referred to it as a "food consumed by southern people." He'll never understand about hominy until he understands that it's hot eaten by the southern people, but by the Southern people. That capital "S" makes a big difference. When you write it "southern." you are simply refer ring to a direction, a mere geo graphic generalization. What makes the South "Southern" is much more than that. hiving in "the south" is simply existence? but living in "the South" means participation in a culture and its traditions. - Depending on the location of the speaker, a reference to the south can mean any place south of the North Pole, but there's only one South, And just as the South is not merely a place but also a W'ay of life, so hominy is not merely a food?it's a custom In fact, in the eating of hominy the average Southerner is as consci ous of the rituals as he is of the victuals. Why else would there such a violent protest when any one douses them with sugar or otherwise deviates from the ac cepted norm? We have to give this New York er credit for an open mind He really wants to know "harmony grits," and he's gone to the [rouble of asking an informed source. But the first step in real "harmony" between North and South would be a little more care about capital letters. There will be more harmony between sectiqns when more peo ple realize that "north" and "south" only begin to tell the story that lies behind "North" and "South". Capitalizing those letters is the beginning of respect for each section's consciousness of it self. and harmony basically means respect for the self-respect of the others. ?

Letters To Editor FINE ISSUE Editor, The Mountaineer: We wish to express our sincere appreciation for the extensive publicity given to our new school in a recent issue of the Moun taineer. The editorial regarding the physical set-up of St. John's was particularly well written, and we thank you for the appreciative comments it contained. . We hope that, not only will [Tavwood County be improved by St. John's new building, but that the youth who pass from its doors, will bo better patriots and citizens for having eome within its influ ence.

Back to normalcy again, his nation can move on as though no such momentous question had een answered.

Heard in passing: "Nobody answered the door when 1 knocked bat I heard the floor creak and saw the curtain move." It was Little Johnny this time who had the last word. He and his daddy had taken their accustomed Saturday walk down town and as usual, had added the pleasure of going to the cliug store for re freshments. Johnny was giving a painstaking ,and tim^^fcsorbing interval deciding upon his selection and his father becarWff bit im patient. "Hurry up. Johnny." lie told his son. "you are making the waitress stand and wait before she can serve you." x Oh, that's all right. Daddy,'' was the little boy's cheerful reply, "in Sunday school last Sunday our teacher read out of our lesson where it said: 'He also serves who only stands and waits'." When there is a question of doubt, find the answer and thus remove the doubt. Just as the first whiff of Spring sends the blood pumping faster, so does the first appearance of Christmas wrappings, ribbons, and all the gadgets pertaining to the glorious holiday affect us. And here's a suggestion: better buy those things now while the selection is good and the articles fresh and new. You're going to get them eventual ly, so why wait! Well, we've already hauled out our big box and dumped in it all available left-overs from last year and added new purchases. It is impossible to fully express the satisfaction one gets in those last frantic moments to be able to pull out the box and find everything I' A iii ? li i.

Scotch tape, etc., all right there. A pair of extra scis sors put in the box will be greatly appreciated, too. Of course it does seem early to be thinking of Christmas with Thanksgiving still in the offing, but the way time travels in jet propelled days it "won't be long now".
