The Times Keeps Winning The Transylvania nines, Bre vard’s prize - winning newspaper, proved in 1973 that it was still one of the top weekly newspapers in North Carolina. The Times was recognized for outstanding journalism last week at the aiihual PrdBS Institution of the North Carolina Press association at Chapel Hill and at Duke University. The award at the Institute last Thursday night brings to a total of 40, both State and National, that The Times has won during the past 29 years. Since World War II, The Transyl vania Times has taken the lead in North Carolina among the weekly newspapers in the use of photo graphs, columns, editorials and fea tures. We are not content to just report the news events of the community. We think we need to go several steps further. Usually, where you find a progressive newspaper, you will find a progressive community. This is certainly true in Brevard and Transylvania county. The first responsibility of a news paper is to gather, prepare and dis seminate all the news on an un biased, accurate basis, without fear or favor. ;jj While each member of the staff of The Transylvania Times is nat urally quite gratified that we are again recognized by outside judges as producer* of a top-flight news paper, we '.eel no sense of gloating nor any tendency to complacency. Rather do we consider the latest award as a challenge to continue to publish the best and most - modem weekly newspaper possible. The awards received by The Times are a compliment to the staff, and more particularly, they are a result of the fine cooperation and support of our readers, our adver tisers, our correspondents and the citizens generally of Brevard and Transylvania county. A Realistic Mission: You Can Help Make It Happen The American Heart Association has had one mission sine© its found ing as a national voluntary health agency in 1948: reduction of pre mature death and disability due to cardiovascular diseases. Heart diseases are too many and too complex to hope for a total cure. But a reduction of the appalling toll of lives of this modern-day epidemic is realistic. And it is being achieved in even greater proportion through the support you give to the Heart Fund campaign now in. progress in Transylvania County. Heart Fund dollars support re search leading to new surgical tech niques that correctpiy*e-fatal in born and acquired heart defects. Heart Fund dollars that financed developent of the heart-lung ma chine now support work leading to the development of mechanical de vices to augment effective circula tion, such as “booster” heart pumps and pacemakers. Heart Fund dol lars help make possible such things as the replacement of defective heart valves. Heart Fund dollars aid scientists in their discovery of new drugs which enhance recovery and prolong life. At the local level, a part of each dollar you contribute goes to sup port programs in your community to alert citizens to the early warning signs of heart attack and stroke; to uncover hidden hypertensives and get them under treatment; and to help people reduce their risk of heart diseases. Your money comes back to you in a vast array of infor mdtional materials and community education programs. And it sup ports local research that could have far-reaching effects on your town, and communities around the world. Despite these achievements, heart and blood vessel diseases continue to claim more than one million lives each year, or 53 per cent of deaths from all causes. An estimated 27 million Americans have cardiovascu lar diseases. And more than 875, 000 died last year from heart at tack or stroke. The statistics are appalling. They must be lowered. Time and money are two major ingredients to fur ther the mission of the Heart Asso ciation. Volunteer your time to help the Heart Association. And give generously when your Heart Fund volunteer calls. You can help make it happen. Paragraphics... “A smile costs nothing but gives much.

Simon re vealed plant lor a standby gas oline rationing program under widch all licensed drivers eigh teen years or older would get coupons, permitting tnem to purchase 32 to 25 gallons a month. _. The standby plan is based upon two assumptions, rirst that Congress will soon give Simon authority to ration gaso line and second that gasoline supplies will dwindle to the point where rationing will be necessary, oimon s plan may or may not come into being. A few days ago, he announced that the situation could go either way, with a do-ou chance for rationing. It depends upon how well oil imports continue to supply our needs and whether conservation measures succeed. The situaton appears to be changing almost daily, and few opinions hold up longer than a week. I would hope that we do not nave to ration gasoline for it is fraught with many prob lems. _ But whether we have to es tablish rationing or not, energy experts mow generally agree that what has happened with respect to this shortage will have a long range impact upon our lifestyle. The next genera tion will likely have a new concept of energy. We may have to get accustomed to liv ing in cooler houses in winter and warmer ones in summer, using smaller cars, improving gas mileage, waiting in lines at pumps, and using buses and bicycles where necessary. Car pooling already appears to be booming and will likely re main a part of the pattern of the future. New houses may be smaller and better insulated. Archi tectural designs are certain to reflect the new energy outlook. It appears too that there will be a long term shift toward living closer to work and recreation. If gasoline continues to be in short supply for years, this will drastically alter the pattern of living. Distances that have been unimportant in recent years will play a major role in the lo cation of houses, churches, schools, sod shopping centers. Like every other crisis, we will adjust to uus one, out * will leave its imprint on the country and our natwts. A major concern should be to insure that any plan we adopt is fait and workable. The American people have become more cyni cal about events affecting their lives, and we will need to Strengthen our basic optimised that has sustained us in all ages. Toward this end we need to constantly review our policies at home and abroad to insure that our free enterprise system continues to remain vital and flexible. No administrator or administration possesses the ability to make all of the mil lions of decisions that must be made every day to reflect tne changes of the marketplace. This is evident in wage-price controls and it will become in creasingly evident in the energy situation. “Controls” work best for limited periods of time and after that the forces of supply and demand take over. What we-are seeing now is probably the end of an era. As with any such time, .the transi tion is always perilous and un stable. It will take a great deal of courage, wisdom, coopera tion, and “know-how” to get us through this time, but it must be done.

HERBERT SPAUGH W How should a wife and mother of young children deal with a husband who is unfaithful to her? This question, has come to me many times in letters and in personal conferences. A letter on this subject is before me now. There are two sub-teen chil dren. The wife writes: “We have been married for 15 years. Dur ing these years my husband has run around with other women, married and single. Several .times 1 have caught them together. We have two wonderful children. It tears my heart up just know ing what my husband is doing. “I have examined myself, prayed and asked God to forgive my sins. I feel that He has. But the feeling in my heart still persists of wanting to ‘get even’ with these women. I know this is wrong, but I can’t overcome it I just do not trust my husband at alL ; ..LiftULl “1 do love my husband, but the way he is acting is very hard for me to accept. Please pray that 1 can forgive and forget “My husband has never been able to communicate things which he holds inside himself. “I need help. Please 'pay for the Lord to save my husband and show me how to deal with this problem.” Reading between the lines of this letter, it is apparent that the wife has been playing detective on her husband and she ha9 evi dently had many words with him on the subject There is a say ing which I have quoted many times in this, column, “When you can’t talk to the man about God, talk to God about the man.” Here is a case which need intensive prayer. It would be help ful if she could get some wise counseling from a marriage counse lor or a minister qualfied in the field of marriage counseling. However, she should not talk indiscriminately about this problem. It is quite apparent that her husband is an unhappy and frustrated man who is seeking attention. Both she and her hus band need help. She could, of course, divorce him, but that would be a very poor answer to the problem. In cases like this one of . the first obstacles for the wife of an unfaithful husband is hurt pride, then a desire for revenge or to “get even.” 1 1 I have believed for years that God has a plan for everyone, just as different as one set of finger prints is different from anoth er. If we can find that plan and follow it, then the problem is solved. The famous 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous would be helpful in this case.

Lett Be received by The TU January 12, 1974 R-l, Island Ford Road Brevard, North Carolina Mr. John L Anderson, Editor Transylvania Times Brevahl, North Carolina Dear Mr. Anderson: 1 would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and say “Thank You” publicly to the Brevard Rescue Squad. We are very fortunate to have such a fine group of friends and neighbors making up out Rescue Squad. There are no words that can express my appreciation for the assistance given to me by the Rescue Squad after the recent acci dent I had. My husband, William, and daughter, Debra, join with me in saying “God be with you through the coming year”. Sincerely, Mrs. Peggy T. Howard tgtf. John I. Anderson, Editor Trarisylvania Times Brevard, N. C. 28712 bedr John: The story in the January 10th issue of “The Times,” on the siltation troubles caused by Connestee, coupled with the state ment of Colonel McDonald that “State help might be available to aid the damaged property,” raises these three questions. Question One: Is this siltation among the “benefits” so loudly trumpeted by Con nestee, that they brought to this area? Question Two: Why should taxpayers, through State aid, be called on to repair damage caused by Connestee’s negligence? Question Three: Is this “free” enter, prise? F. B. Sutherland 203 Grandview Drive Brevard, N. C. 28712 Quest Column Tricky Pay Raise By • BOB RIVERS Watauga Democrat Bcone The government is doing more for the people all along. They collect more in tax es to cover part of the bill and pay for the rest with huge federal budget deficits and inflation. According to the Tax Foundation, Inc., a family of four with one wage earner making $10,000 of income in 1966 could be makng $13,500 today and be less well off after taxes and inflation had taken their cut Federal income taxes on the larger salary ""■I '' today are up from $945 to $1,401. The so cial security tax has been boosted from $277 to $632. The average state tax of $73 on $10,000 income in 1966 has gone to $212 on $13,000 in 1973. Inflation has reduced the dollar’s value 37 percent in terms of pur chasing power since 1966. On the average, if you made $13,500 in 1973 your take-home pay was $11,255. This was worth around $8,239 in terms of 1966 dollars — $466 less than the $8,705 that a man making $10, 000 took home in 1966. Things really get tougher every year; and, to a large extent, it is because govern ment is doing so much more for us or to us — however you want to look at it. Words Of Wisdom For a long time we’ve been fed up with our tax dollars going to South Vietnam to provide the machines of war, and the arms and munitions to fan the continuing flames of a senseless war ... a war that couldn’t be won, at dll, but continues to enure to the material benefit fo an imperialist, self seeking regime, whose favor Washington has so assiduously coveted . . . We like what President and General Dwight D. Eisen hower said to the American Society of Newspaper Editors April 16, 1963. We quote: “Every gun that is made, every war ship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scien tists, the hopes of its children . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." .
