CLEANER STREETS
Sylva has received much criticism in
the past i'or its dirty streets. We all admit
that the mud caused by winter and spring
snows and rains and the dust that follows
with dry weather has been very disagree
able. Until now there was little that could
be done about the situation as it was im
possible to buy street washing equip
ment. Now that this equipment is avail
able the Town Board has decided to do
something about it and has given an order
lor modern street flushing equipment.
This new street flusher^will cost the tax
payers around $4500 but we feel that no
one will object to the expenditure since
it is for something the town vitally needs
if it is to continue to make progress. Then
there is the added features about the new
street washer that makes it worth more
to the community in that it can be used
to advantage in fire control, pumping out
flooded basements, sewers, etc.
The city council is to be commended
ior this progressive step which will serve
the public ior many years to come.
LIONS ARE LEADING
The Sylva Lions Club is made up of a
group of men of the city who are doing
much for the amelioration of the youth
"of the community and for adults in their
program for those handicapped by blind
ness or poor vision. This program is car
ried on by Lions International and is one
of the main objectives of the organization.
The Sylva Club, however, is going much
farther in work closer home. They are
co-sponsors of the Senior Scout troop
which is one of the most active senior
troops in the district. The latest youth
movement by this club is assisting in
providing playground equipment for the
city park which is a big step toward bet
ter recreation for our boys and girts. The
town of Sylva is assisting the club in pur
chasing this equipment and should have
the whole hearted cooperation of the en
tire citizenship.
BUY EASTER SEALS
: There are two seal sales held each year
in North Carolina, the buying of which
provides funds for combating two of the
human race's most dreaded diseases. The
Tubercular Seal sales in December help
to fight tuberculosis, and the Easter Seal
sale now in progress aids in the treatment
of crippled children. Jackson county re
sponded heartily to the Tubercular Seal
sale and our citizens are urged to support
the Easter Seal sales by buying as many
as possible from now until Easter.
There are 62,000 handicapped children
in the state, many of whom are from less
fortunate families who could not receive
needed treatment if it were not for the
lunds provided by the Seal sales. Help
some innocent child rccover its health by
buying Eaoter Soals. ? ????
LET'S TAKE UP A COLLECTION
Now that the war is over, everyone
believes the government should tighten
its belt, pay a little on its debt, get set for
the hard pull ahead. Even the Democrats
? are for it?if it's done right.
? But it happens that lhe. Pwcpublicans
are in control of congress, so it's the Re
publicans who~are to determine where
the cuts are to be madcTtf they are made.
But no two of them can agree as to that.
With one exception.
The exception is this: Drastic reduc
tions arfe to be made in appropriations for
maintenance of the post office depart
ment. Yfcs, tell it to Ripley, the post office
department.
Next to maintaining the army and
navy, the most essential scrvice provided
by government is carrying the mails. It
is conceivable that the country could get
- along without a department of commerce,
a department c abor, a census bureau or
a weather bureau. But it is not conceiv
able that the country could get along
without a post office department.
The mail service is the lifeblood of the
country?business could not bo conduct
ed without it, family relationships would
be desolate without it. No department of
government?not even the army and
navy?could long function without regu-^
lar daily, fast, safe mail service.
Yet this is the one department on
which the new Republican congress has|
agreed to economize. Extravagances to
please powerful members may be toler
ated elsewhere, but not here. Appropria
tions for the post office department must
be pared to the bone.
The war raised heck with the postal
service, as we all know. Experienced help
was drafted into the armed forces, some
never to return. Transportation was tied
m knots and instead of hours, at times it
took days to get the mails through. Car-;
rier service was curtailed from two or
three deliveries to one delivery a day. I
And standing at the end of a long line for j
scrvice because of undermanned and
overworked staffs and too few service
windows became a habit.
Things would reveri to normal after
the war, we all thought. The U.S.A. again
would have the fastest, finest, safest, most
courteous postal service in the world.
Where there had been two or three de
liveries a day there again would be two
or three. And those much-needed new
post office buildings to replace over
crowded rattletraps in use for many years
were to become a reality, we believed.
But we believed wrong?if the politi
crats in congress can get away with it.
For as yet no one in the majority party
has raised his voice to protest against this
injustice?injustice to the most indispen
sable department of government, injus
tice to the most faithful of government
employes, and injustice to the whole peo
ple. It is the postal service that is to be
cut off at the pockets, and it is being done
in the name of economy.
But further curtailment of the postal
service is unthinkable. Further delay in
restoration of the service to peacetime ef
ficiency is intolerable. Funds must be
provided, even though the hat has to be
passed?even though the department has
to be supported like we support the
churches?by taking up a collection.

Marriage succeeds or fails at sev
en points of adjustment. Those
about to be married should con
sider these thoughtfully and those"
already married could examine
them with profit.
1. .PHYSICAL. Many a marriage
"goes sour" within the first few
days because of ignorance here.
There must be mutually satisfac
tory physical adjustment if the
marriage is to be hnppy. It is physi
cal attraction which causes a man
and woman to marry. "Harmony
In Marriage" by Wood (Round
table Press) is rec ommended for
a 11 married couples, and those
about to be married. The chapter
on Physical Harmony presents val
uable information in good taste.
2. FINANCIAL. There must be
sharing of financial responsibili
ty. Every married couple should
make a budget and learn to live
within their income. Use the ten
ten plan,?give ten per cent to the
Lord's work?save ten per cent.
Where husband and wife work in
the business world their incomes
should be pooled. Each should
know the other's income and fi
nancial responsibilities.
3. PSYCHOLOGICAL. It takes
more than physical union to make
a successful marriage. There must
be a common denominator of taste
and companionship. Both husband
and wife must enjoy doing things
together and do them together.
4. SOCIOLOGICAL. Husband
and wife must learn to know, un
derstand, and get along with each
other's relatives and friends. Much,
domestic friction is caused by "in

law77 trouble. Each must also learn
how to fraternize with the family
and friends of their mate.
5. VOCATIONAL. They must
Hke the job by which they earn
the i r living. Dissatisfaction here
reacts again-t marriage. They must
either learn to like the job or get
another. A woman who dislikes
housekeeping should never marry.
If either dislikes children, they
should not marry.
6. PARENTAL. It takes children
to complete married happiness.
When they come, let them be ac
cepted as the gift of God and treat
ed as such. But they must not be
allowed to monopolize the atten
tion of father or mother. They
must continue to be husband and
wife as well as parents.
7. SPIRITUAL. No marriage can
be happy and successful without
enduring spiritual foundations.
Only the God-centered home can
be lastingly happy. Husband and
wife should unite in the same
church. They should read the Bible
daily and learn to pray together
and aloud daily. "I" must become
"we." Then both should seek the
daily advice and counsel of God.
They must learn to pray, "Not my
will, but Thine be done."
At these seven points marriage
either succeeds or fails. At each
of these points there must be satis
. factory adjustment and coopera
tion by willingness to "give and
take."
Finally, the marriage machine
must be lubricated daily with the
oil of courtesy and appreciation,
and it must be kept in repair.
