THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1932 SAVE $5,000 BY SPENDING $700 It is our belief that at the meeting of the Board of County Commissioners Saturday they will see their way . clear to employ a wel fare officer for Haywood County from this date until the first of July. From the general trend of the discussion of the resolution that was presented to that board Monday, we feel that the commissioners are willing to employ an officer for this work, not only because one is sorely needed, but also from the point that Haywood County will lose a donation of $5,000, much flour and cloth be tween now and the first of the year if adequate facilities for distributing the above are not taken care of immediately. As we understand it, the funds that are available for this county amount to several thousands of dollars, and this amount will not have to be paid back. The county is not borrowing or obligating itself in any way for these funds, as the Federal government has appropriated $853,000 to North Carolina, and if Haywood County doesn't get her share then some other county will get it. This money will be taken from the Federal Road aid several years hence, but that will not affect Haywood county, as the entire amount will be taken from the state allotment. The state is going to give out this $853,000 within a short time, but only to counties having proper means of distribution of same. After all, it appears, that since North Carolina has accepted this fund we should get our share. Not only will this county get the $5,000, flour and cloth, but the state will contribute $466.67 toward the expenses of a welfare work er. This would bring down the county's share to about $700 for the period from now until July first. As we see the situation summed up, it seems that Haywood county can easily save $5, 000 from the $13,900 poor fund by getting busy and asking for the Federal aid along with the state aid, and saving $5,000 by investing $700 is an important matter that we feel that the commissioners will put across this coming Saturday. FREQUENT CHANGES OF SCHOOL BOOKS Printed elsewhere in this issue is a resolu tion recently, adopted by the Junior Order of this district 'regarding the frequent changes of school books by the State. This organization Went on record disapproving the frequent chang es and also suggested that the state rent to the 'school children the books at a small cost, and thus save the parents the expense of providing their children with books each school term and more often, at times. Perhaps the state takes the position that in order to teach the child the latest methods and in the most efficient way, they must fre quently change the text books and substitute the latest and most modern for the old, which of course, under present arrangements is rather hard on the parent s pocketbook, but no doubt the best for the child. Take for example books about local govern ment. If a book along this line that was print ed ten years ago was taught in the schools today the students would be better off if the subject was left out entirely. A few years ago a child was taught, and made memorize, in many in stances, the amount of taxes that was collected by each county for roads, now look at the situ ation; the counties collect nothing for roads, as the state -has taken over all of them. In every other county, we understand besides Haywood, the sheriff is paid a salary like all other officers; and in many counties the sheriff collects the taxes; but recent rulings by the legislature have made many changes along this line, which, of course, necessitates the change of the text books used by school children. We are in hearty accord with the resolu tion of the Junior Order and believe many of the changes could be eliminated, but in many cases it seems that a change is necessary if the child is to learn anything worth while. In view of the thought conveyed in the resolution of the Junior Order, we feel that a certain amount of "modern methods and new ideas" could be passed along to the pupils by the teachers for a certain period; and when there has accumulated enough to justify a new textbook then, we believe, it would be the proper time, to publish, new books. Just what will be done about the state furnishing' the textbooks to the children for a small rental looms on the horizon as one of the big questions to arise in the coming session of the Legislature. Even the 40-hour rain that we had here over the weekend failed to dampen the spirits of the optimists. THE PARK AND WAYNESVILLE According to The Asheville Citizen in a news story last Sunday, the National Park Service plans to build 230 miles of scenic roads in the park during the next ten years. Plans were also disclosed as to the location of a numb er of camps within the park', there being two for the North Carolina side; one being. near the Soco Gap entrance, and within a short distance of Waynesville. The park commission going ahead with their plans, and the State Highway Com mission with theirs relative to building roads into the park, should instill in us a feeling that if we are to reap any of the harvest of the "tourist crop" we should begin now with the state and park officials and prepare for this new source of revenue, which will be larg er than the fondest expectations of any of us, if reports from western parks are anything like correct. We feel that the task confronting Waynes- vnie relative to this matter is advertising our location, natural advantages and also the fact that we are the nearest city to the Eastern Entrance to The Great Smoky Mountains Na tional Park. QUACKS PRESIDENT VS CONGRESSMEN Of course, we realize it is easy to find fault with almost anything, but it seems to us that entirely too much stress is being placed on the election of presidents of our nation when after all it is not the president who makes the laws but Congress. Of course, the president has in fluence ( at times) over Congress, and can help mold public opninion, but as far as actually passing a law he can be entirely ignored, in reality. He can hold a bill up for ten days and then, veto it but even at that the Senate and House can over rule his veto and make it a law. The two major parties devote most of their time trying to elect their man, which is abso lutely all right, but why not divide part of the time and mooey in trying to elect efficient Con gressmen? We are not refering to any candi date in this election, but have in mind the general trend ever since the United States set up a government of their own. Neither are we trying to insinuate that the president is not an important figure in our national government, but we do believe that the time has come whei we should realize that Congress is really the head of our country and because of that fact we should strive to send only men that have the ability to fill such ;jn important place. Sometimes people are pron ? to think that unless a show, or play is put on by professionals from out of town it would not be worth attending. Those having such ideas should have seen the, Dramatic Club of Hazelwood pre sent their three-act comedy last Saturday night; and they would have a different opinion about it. We wish, for the sake of those enjoying good shows, that the dramatic club would put this show on again. We can't say how many would be there other than to say we would be there to enjoy it the second time. "Two Days To Marry" is a rather short notice to give a woman-hater to venture into matrimony, but when a million dollars is at stake it is different. It looked for a while as if things weren't going to, work out satisfac torily,' but with the help of two black-faced comedians and a smart lawyer the young millionaire-to-be barely got through.

There is available from the federal government for the poor of Haywood county $5,000.00 from October 1. 1932 to Jan. 1. 1933. Prof. Homer Henry na a telegram stating that 800.00 was ready for use from October 1 to 15 and there is available now $800.00 from October 15 to October 31. As we understand it, this is a direct gift to naywood county and that we will not get one cent of it unless we have a welfare officer who will havj the responsibility of dispensing this fund. Also there can be secured another car load of Red Cross flour and dry goods for the poor of the county if the proper effort is put forth and there is some one who wi'l disnenso this flour and goods satisfactorily to ine Kea xross. The officers of the Red Cross do not have the time to investigate the cases cal mar for holn huu xe anxious to cooperate with county welfare officer and let him aispense these things ine state equalization board has available $466.67 to apply on the sfiiary ot a welfare officer for Hv. wood county from November 1. 1932 to July 1. 1933 Now. if our county wiuimssiuiiers wiu appropriate only $743.33 from their poor fund of $io,yuu.ou, we could ha-! a full-time we farel officer from November 1 1932, to July 1. 1933 and thereby get the Red Cross flour and cloth, alo the $5,000,00 from the federal feov. eminent besides the Help he would render in other fields of work.
