>7 A Brady Called J. T
YOU'VE GOT IT MADE:
When you can trade cars when
the ash trays get full . . .
When you can pick up the
check (or six at a restaurant with
out having to float a loan the next
day to take care of it . . .
When you can drive up to the
super-super gasoline pump and'
say "fill 'er up" ...
When you can say, "Miss Smith,
If anyone calls I'm out-of-town for
the day . . ."
When you can hire some enter
prising kid with a fancy power
mower to do your lawn . . .
When you can order a Sears
Roebuck catalogue for reading
only . . .
When you can subscribe to the
N.Y. Times to get the stock
market reports and not the
news . . .
When you can have color TV
in addition to black and white . . .
When you can have cakes of
soap for both the lavoratory and
the tub ...

Here's a portion of a letter from
Frank W. Nolen, a young Macon
ian who was forced to seek em
ployment elsewhere after his grad
uation from Gaston Tech. His
plea speaks a language most of
us should understand:
"Please continue to boost in
dustry -in Macon County in order
that we, the strayed young people
of Macon County, might return to
the mountains and the people that
we love."
?jpb?
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: It may
be discouraging to know that the
recipe for success nowadays is al
most identical to the recipe for a
nervous breakdown.
? Jpb ?
An Irishman named O'Shea
came to America and wanted to
attend a big league ball game. To
his dismay, he found all seats
were sold out, However, the man
agement gave him a high flag
pole seat. When he returned to his
own country, his people asked
him:
"What kind of people are the
Americans?"
He said:
"Fine people. They gave me n
special seat at the ball game, and
Just before the game started they
all stood up and sang, 'O'Shea,
can you see?' "
? jpb ?
By now. having delved this far
into this week's Blarney, I hope
your reaction to Frank Nolen 'a
comment about providing for our
young people has caused you to
think a little about the matter.
It is a serious problem; a prob
lem pointed up statistically in the
population loss being experienced
by the county. The loss of more
than 1,300 people since 1950 may
not sound like much to some, but
if you think about It in terms of
young people beinc forced to leave
because of a lack of work here

SUMMER"

then the situation is more serious.
I am In favor of Industry, but
a particular type of specialized
Industry. I feel the secret Is in
obtaining diversified industry and.
at this particular time, to provide
Jobs for men, rather than women.
In the hosiery field we have
plenty with Franklin Hosieiy and
Van Raalte. The former probably
will expand before long, providing
even more Jobs for women. What
we need Is, for example, a large
tool and die manufacturer or wood
working plant to put the men
to work.
About a half-dozen small, di
versified plants would pump new
life In the economic heart of Ma
con County.
It would seem that any family
with a loved one. or relative, work
ing outside North Carolina would
be willing to work doubly hard to>
find new Industry for the county.
It appears a foolish waste of
money for Macon County to edu
cate its young people (12 years
of school costs plenty) and then
not provide for their future with
jobs suited to their skills and
talents. As It stands now, the
young people like Prank Nolen
(who Is a skilled electrical tech
nician) are forced to go to other
states where the harvest Is reaped
by those who had nothing to do
with sowing the seeds.

Checked Your
Driver's License
Lately?
Checked your driver's li
cense lately?
It might be a good idea to
check it for an expiration
date. Or, if you're driving
without a valid license it
might be a good idea to ob
tain one immediately.
Sgt. T. A. Standlin, of the
.State Highway' Patrol, an
nounced plans this week for
checking stations in Jackson,
Macon, Clay, Cherokee, Gra
ham, and1 Swain as a remin
| der to drivers to comply with
the law.
One such checking station
already has operated in Ma
con Cwumty.
Sgt. Sandlin explained that
records show a steady and
substantial increase in vehicle
registrations. Also, the popu
lation is increasing and each
year many are reaching the
driving age. Contrary to these
two points, he said there has
been a decrease in the num
ber of licensed drivers this
year.
"It certainly seems logical
to conclude that many peo
ple are driving without a -li
cense, or an expired license,"
the officer said.
