THE FARM BUREAU
We are glad to see the farmers of Jack
son county organize their "Farm Bureau"
which should mean much to them in the
years to come in their determined fight
to maintain a fair level in the standard of
living set by other types of business and
industry.
Agriculture is a big business?one of
the biggest in the nation, but it has been
the slowest of all industries to organize
into a working unit for the good of all.
The reason for this, we believe, goes deep
into our past. The farmer still has much
of that fighting, pioneer spirit of working
out his own problems and building his
own farm to suit his individual needs,
rather than to be told how and what to
do. He is being forced into am organized
group by the trends of our economic sy
stem. Though organized the farmer can
still maintain that individuality and re
main his own boss, better than members
of labor and other organized groups.
If our farmers are to receive their fair
share of the national income, they are go
ing to have to be organized into a force
that can demand attention from congress
and governmental agencies. This can only
be done through a large membership of
active farmers. Jackson county farmers
are urged to join the Farm Bureau during
the current membership drive.
TRADING AT HOME
We believe that there are fewer people
in Jackson county who go to larger cities
to trade than is found in many other sec
tions and the reason for this is in the fact
that our Sylva merchants and business
firms carry much of the goods and ser
vices needed by our citizens. However,
there are yet too many who do go else
where to shop for the same things they
can find right here at home. Maybe it is
because they have not visited their home
stores to find out what they have to of
fer, or probably the merchants haven't
advertised their stock sufficiently, if at
all.
In conversation with a Jackson county
lady this week, who upon finding an un
expected item of merchandise, said,
"when we come to Sylva we are always
in such a hurry we don't take time to
really .find out what the merchants do
have, but when we go to Asheville we
usually spend the day shopping around
and in that we have more time to find
what we want." She admitted that she
and others should do more looking around
in Sylva.
This thing of trading at home must
be built up cooperatively by the mer
chant and the customer. The merchant
must stock the merchandise his trade de
mands. To be able to do this he must
have the patronage of the people in his
trading territory. Usually the merchant
does have the items wanted when he is
given a fair chance by your patronage.
We believe that our Sylva merchants
can nave one of their best Thanksgiving
and Christmas holiday business seasons
this year by simply letting the citizens of
the trading area know what they have to
offer and that they want them to be loyal
in their home-town patronage. Let's all
work together for a bigger and better
Sylva.

INSIDE WASHINGTON
Special to Central Preaa
WASHINGTON?It is the great sing
le-headed Department of National De
fense with ex-Wall Streeter Jimmy For
restal at the helm, but there is still a lot
of griping and grouching over the physi
cal setup of the armed services merger.
The "split" of the Army and Navy is
still around.
When Forrestal took over the job he
promptly moved from the Navy depart
ment across the Potomac river to the
sprawling Pentagon in Virginia. Close
by him are the secretaries of the Army
and the Air Force. Back in Washington
is the secretary of the Navy and big Navy"
brass.
Forrestal wants all the administrative
officials under one roof and there is plen
ty of room for them in the Pentagon. He
wants all activities co-ordinated, includ
ing'press relations. He has named genial,
efficient Navy Capt. Bob Berry as his
top press officer.
However, the Navy high command
still stays in the old building. The Navy's
brass doesn't want to cross the Potomac,
but wants to remain in the old shack
like buildings "temporarily" built for
use in World War I.
High-rankers admit that 'studies" are
going on to place all the services top per
sonnel under one roof. These studies will
go on until Forrestal eventually issues an
arbitrary order for the Navy to take off
for Pentagonville. Then the cries of
anguish from the Navy brass and blue
will resound from one end of the capital
to the other. But not 'til then will the
"merger" be complete.
PETKOV REPERCUSSIONS ? Bul
garia's execution of anti-Communist lead
er Nikolai Petkov, despite pleas of the
'United States, has settled, for the time be
ing, the question of American recognition
of the Sofia government.
Had the Red regime in Bulgaria heed
ed the United States and commuted Pet
kov to even a life sentence, the chances
are that Washington would have decided
within six months or so to recognize
Sofia's regime.
However, the Red action, bitterly de
nounced by the State department, has'
closed the door on diplomatic relations
with the Bulgarians for a long time to
come.
Further, diplomatic sources agree, it
has diminished the faint chances for Unit
ed Slates recognition of two other Rus
sian satellites?Albania and Romania.
High sources say that both are "out" in
the same manner that Bulgaria is "out."
Main complaint against Albania is that is
aiding Greek guerrillas.
HUGHES HEARING ? Despite his
predictions to the contrary, Howard
Hughes, millionaire aircraft manufactur
er and movie mogul, will enact the role
of "the man who came back" this month.
When the Senate war investigating
committee's probe of Hughes' ^0 million
dollars' worth of warplane contracts
blew up in a cloud of melodrama last
summer, the lanky Texan declared flatly
that he didn't believe the hearing ever
would be resumed.
However, Senator Homer Ferguson,
(R), Mich., says he is standing pat on his
plan to reopen the hearing Nov. 17. Pre
liminary conferences already have been
held.
There was plenty of excitement during
the summer session of the investigating
group, which featured not only the feud
between Hughes and Committee Chair
man Owen Brewster, (R), Maine, but
such added attractions as Johnny Meyer,
Hughes' funloving press agent, Elliott'
Roosevelt and a pile of glamor-drenched
expense accounts.
Washington insiders expect more of
the same. This time, the committee is
expected to concentrate on the tax re
turns of the Hughes Tool company, par
ent firm of the Hughes financial empire,
and the lavish entertainment sponsored
by Meyer, once again may figure in the
proceedings.

FALL MANEUVERS
? .. ... - - ? . ?
The Everyday Counsellor
, By REV. HERBERT 8PAUGH, O. D.
iw
Do -you like to ?top ,and watch
the trains go by? Many people do,
and I am one of them. Sometimes
I simply admire them, at other
times I am provoked to thought.
Recently I heard the story of an
other minister, who liked to watch
the trains go by.?|g||||^p||
Shortly after en
tering into a new ^
charge, his pa
pishioners discov
ered tnat at a cer
lain hour every
day he could
never be located.
His wife would
give out no information. The cu
riosity of the congregation was a
Toused to such an extent that the
Chairman of the Board of Stew
ards asked for an explanation.
The minister refused to give
out any information, saying that
it was a personal matter. This
only poured oil on the fire until
it became an issue in the congre
gation. The district superintendent
then asked the minister for an ex
planation, which was again re
fused.
Finally the whole village made
it a matter of talk and circulation,
and the congregation carried it to
the bishop, who paid an official
visit to the .church and asked the
minister for an explanation.
The minister thereupon asked
the bishop to come with him and
he would show him where he went
and what he'did each day. They
walked through the village and
out to a high bluff overlooking
(the railroad track. There they
sat down and waited. Soon a
streamline passenger train flashed
by. The minister turned to the
bishop and said, "Now we can go
home."

thing I don't have to push. But
passing trains provoke other
thoughts in my mind.
There are passenger trains which
carry people from one destination
to another?to a wedding, to the
bedside of an ill one, to a funeral,
to a new position, to visit dear
ones, to an important business
transaction.
There ,are freight trains which
go by loadea wr.h articles and
products for the sustenance and

Then I have seen, especially in

These trains always make the most
noise. It's because they are empty,
