THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1932 THE OLD JUDGE'S DESK In wondering around the court house re cently we came across the old judge's bench which served the judges of the court for over 50 years in this county. The bench is now be ing taken care of by Frank Ferguson, magis trate, on the third floor of the courthouse. The desk is made of solid chestnut, and the top, which is about 40 inches wide is one piece. We doubt if there remains many chest nut trees from which a board 40 inches wide could be cut. The top is marred by the many licks of gavels by judges who hammered away on the old bench. If there were some method by which that old desk could relate the past, we venture to say it would be the most sought for spot in town. We wonder haw many men have been , sentenced to death over that old desk, how many hearts have been broken, and how many have been mended by Justice, and how many kindly statements and much sound advice has gone forth to wayward citizens from behind that old piece of furniture that has long been in use in this county? It is not so much the value of the bench itself from a material standpoint, but there is a lot of sentiment wrapped up in that old desk, and many people of the older generation will remember as long as they live the many in teresting events that have transpired from that desk. Perhaps, it would be complete to not only think of the old des.k, but to give a little attention to the new judge's bench now in use in the new court room. From behind that bench there will be many a man sentenced, and many a heart made to ache. While this is a new desk it would be indeed fitting if every citizen would resolve that he would never do any thing that would cause him to stand in front ot the new judge's bench to receive a verdict. Figures just released from Washington show that the Federal Government is going into the red at the rate of $4,633,00,0 daily. This was brought about by the failure of the so-called "nusiance" tax to bring in the revenue that was expected. The Treasury department expected $53,750,000 during the month of Sep tember from the newly created taxes but only received $34,377,657. It begins to look like the people can be taxed, but they can't be made to pay. "' HAYWOOD IS STILL WITHOUT A WEL FARE WORKER The Board of County Commissioners, in special session Saturday, did not act on the matter of employing a welfare officer from now until the first of July, the cost being approxi mately $700 to the county, which would be matched with a $5,000 donation between now and the first of January, and a similar amount between January first and April first, plus $466.67 to be applied on the salary of the wel fare worker. There is now in the hands of the treasurer a check for $800.00 on this fund. Just what effect the action taken by the commissioners, which was received with deep regret by the majority of citizens, in obtaining the $5,000 donation, we can't say, but we under stand that the Federal government wil! not con sent to let any of the charity fund go to any county without "adequate means of .distribu tion." Just what the Federal board terms "ade quate" has not been determined. From what we can learn, the present board has decided to defer action on the matter, in which event it will be left to the new board of commissioners to thrash out if they so desire, when they take charge of county affairs on De cember first. At that date it will be entirely too late to get in the application for funds to be used after January, as these facts must be in Raleigh by November 15th. As explained more fully in a news story on the front page, the money sent' here will not be doled out, but will be used to pay nien and women that do some work of a worth whife na ture on some public project. So it isn't a matter of giving away money, as it is employing un employed men and putting tHem to, work until that fund gives out. The public Worlc hiust be done sooner or later, and if the money to have this work done with is donated to the county then we should accept' it. Of course, the fund would be applied to the needy cause's where; the applicant were not able to work. With these facts before us, we feel that the present board of commissioners will employ a welfare officer in their first Monday meeting here on November 7th, and that will probably save the day and get in Haywood's application for a nice sum to be used after January first. SCHOOL FACTS OF YESTERDAY AND TO- - DAY - - Some idea as to the progress that has been ma'de in the state alongeducational lines can "Te gathered from the recent issue of State t -Scho6f Facts. Therein is set out a contrast '6f' the school terms in 1899-1900 and that of 1930 1931 The number of teachers then being 8, 320 as compared with now, 23,091. White teachers then numbered 2,567 to 5,924 now. In 1900 the 8,320 teachers taught 657,949 stu dents, as compared with the 23,691 teachers that now teach 1,045,230 students. In 1900 the average number of students to each teacher was 79. Th present average for the entire state is 44. Along with the in crease in pupils and teachers, the expenditures for schools also increased from $1,004,903.09 in 1900 to $32,420,484.58 exclusive of debt service funds, in 1931. The above figures are much larger than the average person can comprehend. Roughly speaking, however, the number of students have not quite doubled., the number of teachers have been trebled and the expenditures increas ed from one million to thirty-two million. Thirty-two years ago, according to the state figures, it cost $1.52 a year per student, while the present rate amounts to over $30.00. This "increase is due to some extent in the num ber of school days per term which were increas ed from 70 days a year in 1900 to 155 in 1931. The fact should be stressed to each school child that the citizens of this state are provid ing for them the best there is along educational lines, and for their appreciation of this fact, they should strive to do their best to learn as much as possible. The only way the taxpayers will ever get a return on the money they spend for schools is the satisfaction of knowing that the boys and girls of this state have been better fitted for life because of the advantages laid before them which was only, made possible by the taxpayers carrying a heavy burden in order to bring this about. 'OUR HOSPITAL' The citizens of Haywood County should feel somewhat proud of the Haywood County Hospital because of the rating recently given that institution by the American College of Surgeons, which, wt understand, is outstand ing in the medical profession, and their stamp of approval really has some meaning behind it. In the recent rating the Haywood County Hospital was rated as "conditional" which is to say that there are only a few minor changes to be made, which only time can develop, until the local hospital will be rated as "fully approved." It was pointed out by a member of the staff of surgeons of the hopsital here, that to obtain a rating of "conditional" was very com plimentary indeed, as it is a distinction to even be recognized by the national organization. As we have often said before, Haywood county is fortunate to have the institution that we have here, and also the fact that it is county owned and is paying its own way with the ex ception of retiring the bonds which were sold in order to build the institution. .II.. ' " ' TALKING PEACE AND PRACTICING WAR An editor of; a large daily paper recently brought up the question of. whether it was right or wrong for - America to continue to manu facture arnunition and firearms for the South American countries to carry on their wars with, or should the orders be refused and thousands of American workmen remain idle and without work. It seems there are two answers to this question either of which would be correct to a certain class of people. From a material stand point only, it would be to America's advantage to continue to manufacture the implements of War for South America, and from a moral standpoint, it seems that if the world is ever to see permanent peace every country must try to kfeep others from engaging in war by re fusing to sell them war material. As we see it, until every country unites in this movement of peace it will be hard to eli minate war, and if America refuses to sell them war supplies some other country will get the business, so there it is. A GREAT FUTURE AHEAD FOR TUSCOLA -",' ; ACADEMY Last Monday, with several others, we at tended a lecture given by W. B. Ferguson to his mathematics class at Tuscola Academy. We were very much impressed with the way in which Mr. Ferguson presented the different facts on the history of mathematics, and the keen interest shown by the students. With the type of teaching, the thorough ness of covering each subject, as we understand he and the other instructors do in each class, we reajize that' there is a great future ahead for Tu$cola Xbaclemy and in that institute there is a possibility 6f a great seat of learning to grow from thj school that is rather small physically, but mighty large when it comes to really teaching the students a subject thorough-. ,iy. :'--vv-: THE SOCO GAP STRING BAND Several nights ago it was our pleasure to'. hear the SocovGap stnng band give some of their famous songs to a semi-private audience. .

Commissioners Did Not Act On Matter Of Welfare Officer (Continued from page 1) pointed out. "Other COlinHps arn (rnttinr tn;.. share of the fund, and we should take ours," Mr. AHUon said. According to facts received here, the county is entitled to get $5,000 hot.wpen nnw nnrt (Li Ctvr tl, from the Federal fund and a similar amount from .Inr.nnrv ifiire rt Anll first, making a total of $10,000 for mis county during tne next 6 months, besides the $466.67 from the state to be applied toward the salary of a wel fare worker. According to a bulletin received by office of relief in Raleigh, the dona tions made by the state for relief work shall be distributed in such ways as to help those not fortunate enough to work so they will not go hungry but in return for food they must work in every case where they are able.

IS' HAYWOOD ThjO biggest thing Waynesville has ever had ie in Southern Assembly and it is -very gratifying that the management, though somewhat ham pered by the money stingency, is getting-along"?,, so 1 well. Mr. B. J. Sloan, the -ieisurer, and one of the originaF inccfrpOrators, informs us that last Wednesday they closed several of the option'anrouhting to something over, $J 5,000. Mr. Dave Noland,' whose agricul tural exhibt was so fine here at the county fair, informs us that his and Mr. B. P. Howell's exhibit at the State Fair at Raleigh which was put on tjs Haywood's exhibit, took the sec ond premium, Guilford getting first. Mr. W. D. McCracken won flrst prize on shorthorn cattle and Mr. A. C. Walker first prize on Hamp3hiredown sheep. Mr. Boiling Hall won several prizes on apples. Through these pro gressive citizens Haywood county is beooming famous. Hurrah for Haywood-! The party that left here last week for the big mountains where the big bears roam were rewarded for the pains. They had a fine chase after tvo large ones and were successful in getting their pelts. In the party were: Dr, J. F.Abel, Dr. B. F. Smath ors. Dr. Sam. Stringfiel.l, Mr. E. I. liurn, Mr. W. L. Hardin, and Mr. H I. Sloan. WHY ISA WOMaxT VHT .
