Shall We Spray?
With eight cases of polio having de
veloped in Jackson county since the polio
"season" began back in the early sum
mer, and with the last four cases being
in and near town, it appears now that
the wise thing to do is to have the build
ings and premises of the property owners
of Sylva sprayed with a solution of DDT,
such as has been used in other cities and
communities. This cost of doing this job,
according to Mayor Allison, will be
around $525.00, a small sum compared to
the cost of treating just one child who
might become ill with the disease, to say
nothing of the tragedy of having one or
more of the children in a family suffer
ing, probably permanently injured from
the disease.
We feel that the town and county, or
some one or two civic organizations
should head-up a working organization
toward raising the necessary funds to
pay for having the spray applied.
We have to but look at our neighbor
county, Haywood, just to the east of us,
and next door to Buncombe county,
where so many cases have developed.
Haywood has been free of the disease so
far, Waynesville and Hazelwood had this
spray ^applied several weeks ago. No one
can be sure that spraying is the reason
Haywood county has had no polio, but
it stands to reason that it has had some
thing to do with it.
Let's spray in Jackson county before
any more cases develop!
We Salute Labor
We salute the laboring men of Jack
son County as they pause on Monday in
observance of their annual "Labor Day"
holiday, which is also observed nation
wide. In speaking of the laboring man,
we include all men, and women too, in
Jackson county-;since- most of us make
our living, and add to the good of the
community as a whole, through our com
bined labors?whatever line of work we
are engaged in.
The laboring man is usually thought
of as the man who has a hard task, with
long hours. But this is not the case any
more. Labor, through its organization,
and industry through its benevolent at
titude toward the men and women em
ployed, have placed the wage earner on
a standard whereby his job is the most
satisfactory of any kind of employment
in this day of inflation and high living
costs.
Jackson County labor is just as fine as
found anywhere, working and cooperat
INSIDE WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON ? The adjournment
oi tne special session oi' Congress has set
.lie stage tor the presidential campaigns
ui.ead, with Presiaeru Truman likely to
journey to the Pacitic coast within the
next eight weeks.
GOl" presidential candidate Thomas
E. Dewey is regarded as almost certain to
go west before Mr. Truman in the presi
dential sweepstakes, with GOP vice pres
idential candidate Earl Warren probably
coming east.
On tne Democratic side of the picture,
Senator Alben Barkley of Kentucky, Mr.
iruman s running mate, is slated to con
centrate on border states where benate
seats hang in the balance.
In lact, one of. the considerations be
hind Barkley s vice presidential nomina
tion was the help he can be counted on to
give the Democratic party in its tight to
re-win control of the Senate.
Mr. Truman is virtually certain to pitch
his main campaign battle on the record
oi tne 8Uth Congress, particularly its
xailure to carry out his anti-inflation pro-;
gram. However, both Dewey and Warren
are expected to counter* by oiaming Mr.'
iruman lor the still soaring cost oi liv
ing.
~ ELYING RUNWAY" MAKES BOW;
?Tne Air r orce is now receiving a "tly
ing runway cargo plane whicn could
have shortened tne Pacific war had it
Ueen available. ;
lhe "Hying runway" is the famed
Eairchild racket equipped witn tractor
type landing gear. It can land and take
on in any reasonably level area.
Periection oi tne tractor or track-type
gear wul eliminate in any future war
much oi die laborious airtield construc
tion heretofore necessary before volume
"air lift" of supplies could begin to supply
beachhead forces.
The idea of the track-type landing gear
for airplanes was first tinkered with in
iy2u, but World War II had to be lought
and won beiore its worth was appreciat
ed and concrete action taken.
Now Id oi tne "Hying runway" planes
have been put in operation and 2o more
will be bunt. I
One of the moving spirits in pushing
the experiment was Lien. George C. Ken
ney, head ox the Strategic Air Command.;
r^enney, as Lien. Douglas Mac Arthurs'
air chiet in the Pacific, remembers count-1
less crises when he could have moved up;
on Japanese islands much sooner had
he had tne "flying runway."
JUDGES' SCORE?'The score
sheet tor the recently ended term ot the
bupreme Court shows that fiery Justice1
Feiix Erankturter most often rebelled;
against the majority's decisions. He wrote
16 or the 70 dissenting opinions issued
during the term.
Justice Robert H. Jackson trailed'
Frankfurter with 13 dissents, and Justice
Wiley Rutledge was third with 10.
Justice William O. Douglas did the
most work on majority opinions, which
are the weighty documents announcing
the court's decisions. He wrote 22 of
the 110 handed down.
Next in line were Justice Hugo L.
Black with 18 and Justice Jackson with
17. Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson, boss;
of the high court, was a poor fourth with
12 opinions.

progress for everyone. For this labor
is due great respect.
Again we salute you on "your day."

Kidneys Must
Work Well
For You To Feel Veil
24 hours every day. 7 days every
week, never stopping, the kidneys filter
waste matter from toe blood.
If more people were aware of how the
kidneys must constantly remove sur
plus fluid, excess acid* and other waste
matter that cannot stav in the blood
without injury to health, there would
be better understanding of why the
whole system is upset when kidneys fail
to function properly.
Burning, scanty or too frequent urina
tion sometimes warns thst something
is wrong. You may suffer nagging back
ache, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic
pains, getting up at nights, swelling.
Why not try Doon's PiUtl You wfll

country over. Doon's stimulate the func
tion of the kidneys and help them to

TIMBER TALKS
By W. C. HENNESSEE
TIMBER TALKS ;,CH ....
To get tne mosl money for your
?ore>: product#, seil your ti.ne with
yoCr timber. Th.s means, cf course,
do your own logging and sell the
products as logs or bolts. Farmers
are learning tm t hour for hour
woods work brings higher wages
that most farm work.
Here is the story of a man I
know who recently cut and sold
some logs. He had his own team
and hired one hand to help him.
When the job was half completed
he began to wonder if all this hard
work was paying cff. He kept rec
ords on the remaining work and
this is what he learned. On the
basis of $20 per thousand board
feet, Doyle Scafe, his time in the
woods netted him $2.00 an hour.
In addition to this his team was
worth $15 a day. He not only earn
ed good wages but improved the
condition of his woods. He cut the
trees that were mature and slow
growing and left the healthy young
trees to produce future sawlogs.
He is now a strong advocate of the
landowner dcing his own logging.
He hasn't made enemies with the
sawmill operator either, as logs
.?re needed right now.
You may not be able to do woods
work cy yourself. But nave you
ihjught o: trad.r.g lab:r with
your neighbor?
L'su 11 v this arrangement turns
out more prjiitubie than straight
h.ring of labor. In this way hard
work is mode enjjyable. It builds
up a community spirit. If labor is
hard to get in your community this
rail, try swapping labcr with your
neighbor.
