Olson, head of the Million Dollar Skyland Processing Corporation, of Hen derson ville, will talk to the farmers of Jackson county at Cullowhee high school tomorrow and will probably tell them of , the great advantages in growing vegeta bles as cash crops and also of the advan tage of selling their produce to his firm. This is the kind of a talk our farmers weed. There is money to be made in growing vegetables, small fruits and berries for commercial processing. Jackson county needs more of such crops and the farmers need the market such as Mr. Olson's firm provides. The point which The Herald would like to make is?why not a processing plant in Jackson County, owned by the farmers of Jackson county from which they would receive cash for their produce and also participate in the profits of the plant. Of course, to be able to operate such a plant successfully it would have to have assurance of an abundance of raw produce ,produce of the quality that would sell well on the market. This, we believe, could be done as certain portions of Jackson county is already noted for its high quality produce, such as the Ham burg cabbage. Beans, potatoes, and to matoes grow equally as weU in this coun ty. Small fruits, such as cherries, grapes, plums, etc., could also be promoted into a paying cash crop for many farmers. Strawberries, and the common old black berry, would sell well on the market. Henderson county is one of the lead ing counties of Western North Carolina in growing beans, and other vegetables for commercial process. Jackson County could do equally as well if a real program of this kind wras promoted. The economy of our county demands more and larger cash income for our farmers. What about a frozen locker, plant or a cannerv for Jackson County? %/ %/ Hard Going For Carnivals The carnival season has already start ed down in the eastern part of the state. It does not get underway in this area un til summer and early fall, and if we had our way, there would be no open season for carnivals in Havwood. 4/ Down at Smithfield the other dav, the V ' sherriff and health department made a carnival close, because they violated the health laws and gambling laws. In just a few hours the carnival pulled up and departed. Another carnival, showing at Kinston, left earlier than they intended when of ficers closed their "girlie" shows and gambling joints. Of course with those two units of the carnival closed there was not much left to do business with. So far it looks like slim pickings for carnivals. ? Waynesville Mountaineer. The Herald wishes to add its two bits to The Mountaineer's, "If we had our way there would be no open season for carnivals in Haywood." If we had our way there would be no open season in Jack ton either. It seems that the various or INSIDE WASHINGTON Washington ? The surprising decision of Agriculture Secretary Clinton P. An derson to run for the Senate was spurred by Democrat chieftains who know they need the seat if they hope to regain Sen ate control. Anderson, seeking the seat of retiring Democrat Carl Hatch, will face a grim light in the primary as well as the elec tion. John J. Dempsey, former New Mex ican governor, will oppose Anderson in the primary.

Ku.*sia and The Third Party ? The So va! iiiioi aiatioii Uureau at .Moscow re ceiitiy commented: "Une snould not lose sight oi the efforts being made by the ruling circle.^ oi'Tlie o 4/ o Lnited States of America to undermine, by means of their campaign of slander ?against the USSR, the influence oi pro gressive campaign elements in their own country, who advocate better relations with the USSR. "The attack on progressive elements in the United States is undoubtedly aimed at undermining their influence in viewT of the presidential elections to be held in the autumn of 1948." Could they have been referring to Hen ry Wallace and the third party? Schools Pass The Hat ? The dwindling value of the dollar has sent university j and college presidents into the street looking for some pocket-bulging million aires. Education officials report that GI stu dents will be as plentiful next year as ever, but rising costs and higher taxes' are cutting revenues. Some leaders are worried about shrink ing endowments and the prospect that1 some activities will have to be curtailed unless more money is forthcoming. Hardest hit are the nation's top private' universities ? Yale, Columbia, North western and others. Some schools are re sorting to high-powered fund raising drives. Others are merely postponing1 their plans so as not to be caught with; overexpanded plants when values de-1 cline. Excise Taxes ? Wartime excise taxes, which are still at the same levels that prevailed during the period of hostility, will not be cut appreciably, if at* all, in 1948. The reason is that the budget and rev enue pictures will not permit such a cut, and that Congress will cram into the in come tax reduction bill about all the rev enue slash that the situation will stand. The levies on liquor, cosmetics, jew elry, theater tickets, transporation, tele phone tolls and more than a dozen other things will stand pretty much where they are. These taxes are not likely to be reduc ed, either, as long as foreign aid programs continue to require the expenditure of large sums. Billy Mitchell's Dream ? The dream of Billy Mitchell, the Air Force general who foresaw the true power of the air plane as a war ? and thereby peace ? weapon, is about to come true. Now, 11 years after Mitchell died, a survey oi congressional leaders reveals that not one will oppose President Tru man's 1949 fiscal year military budget estimates ? SI 1,420,000,000, of which 41 per cent is for aviation. What is more, the leaders say that the recent recommendations of the congres sional aviation policy board for military aviation expenditures for the next five years will be approved, and probably exceeded. These recommendations are for 47 per cent of a total 1950 military budget of 14. 07 billions; .53 per cent of 16.10 billions in 1951; 53 per cent of 17.72 billions in 1952 and 53 per cent of 18.72 billions in 1953. canizations sporsoring carnivals here-to fore, could find some higher type of en tertainment for the people of Jackson county and make more money at the same time. Xo community has ever had its morals uplifted by a carnival.

Heart disease is the nation's number one killer. The Bible tells us how to avoid-it, according to the March 1948 Life .and Health Magazine. Dr. W. W. Bauer, Di rector, feureau of Health Educa tion, American Medical Associa tion. in an arresting article, "Anx ieties and Coronary Heart Dis ease," presents some interesting facts, that modern science upholds the Bock?of books in the descrip tion of our greatest killer. Dr. Bauer quotes from the find ings and presentation of Dr. Don Carlos Peete of the medical school of the University of Kansas. "In a remarkable exhibit at the recent centennial meeting of the Ameri can Medical Association, Dr. Peete set forth a series of facts, based on lour Scriptural injunctions, which Cullowhee High Glee Club Presents Program At Tuckaseigee Church The Cullowhee high school glee club gave a concert of sacred mus ic at Tuckaseigee Baptist church Sunday afternoon, April 11. The program was directed by Mrs. Charles G. Gulley, and Mr. Sam my Beck, of Cullowhee. After giving the program here they went to John's Creek Metho dist church and presented a pro gram. constitute a most amazinz liaison between the ancient Scriptures and modern psychosomatic medicine (relationship of mental processes to functioning of the body)." He referred to the 25th chapter oi' the first book of Samuel, where the death of Na bal is described. The doctor says that Nabal died j f:*o m coronaryi heart disease or' coronary throm besis with angina pectoris. "Nabal was the kind of fellow who gets coronary selerosis. H3 was rich and great, but he was churlish and mean, selfish and greedy. Also he was a heavy drinker, perhaps as a refuge from himself." Dr. Peete emphasized "that we should not try to overcome an in security cf mind by material wealth alone. We need the spiritual, cul tural, and other natural phen omena to furnish rest for the vas cular .system. "The instinct of self-preserva vation causes distinct conditioned reflexes to be set up in early life.
