PPESS ASSOCIATION ft THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 19:57 PROBAHLY YOU DID NOT KNOW The interview as carried in last week's 'oaper, in which solicitor John M. Queen pointed ;out that there were entirely too many young St'irls going astray in this county, was not given out by. Mr. Queen as a sensational subject. Neither was it a subject for alarm, as the situation now is probably not any worse than five or tei years ago. Other information is be ing compiled about this county, which we he Sieve when published (probably in this issue) A-ill cause some people to stop and think. That is the subject of venereal diseases. And on this subject, The Smithfield Herald had :' ".he following to say recently : I no press has carried some startling statements recently regarding the prevalence in the United States and in this state of svnhilis. -Statistics show that one out of every ten adults m -the nation is all hcted with this loathesome disease and in North Carolina the nercentaw is much higher. (Research by William II. Pace of ttaieigh .shows this state's percentage at approximately one out of six). "Dwu.iiori sof venereal disease has been taboo in polite circles and the public has been ignorant ol the appalling figures which ro nv being given out. That the white light of pub licity is Deing thrown to some extent unon con. editions ia encouraging; for knowledge of facta is essential before dangers can be successfully ..routed. "With the facts known, it is criminal to do nothing about curbing the di.sease. That it Can 'e curbed is the hopeful aspect of the situation. "What 'does it matter how much education 'we provide, for our children, or how murh von. nomic security, if disea.se stalks through our country sapping the vitality and the moral fiber "it our youth ! ' "NO GOLF FACILITIES GOOD-BYE" Just about this time of year, The Transyl vania Times begins their annual crusade for proper management and operation of Brevard's $36,000 golf course. This year The Times did not wait until late spring to begin "bearing down" but started off last week by saying that if something wasn't done right away, that the 1937 season would be a repetition of last year "no golf won't stay good-bye." Reading of the plight of neighboring towns does not make us happy because of their mis fortune, but it does make us appreciate to a greater degree the facilities that we have here for offering the golf visitor a course second to none in the country. MUCH PORK IS SPOILING This extended spell of warm weather is proving to be costly to a number of farmers, who took chances and killed their hogs, expect ing the usual cold weather to set in. Already a number of farmers have lost many pounds of meat, because of the lack of sufficient cold weather. Other farmers have waited for cold weather before killing their pork and have found that feeding hogs all through the winter on com "for fattening" is also ex pensive. This unusual weather seems to be costing everyone.

Kerr Scott, the new commissioner of agriculture, in the first meeting of the agricul ture board, stressed the importance of enforce ment of the pure seed law for North Carolina. Encouraging news is that immediate steps will be taken to improve the seed testing fa cilities, and to bring the seed laboratory up to date. Such action on the part of the depart ment of agriculture will mean a great help to the farmers of the state. And in thm connection, fanners should heed the warning of buying seeds only from reliable firms, and licensed seed dealers. Cheap seeds always have low germination qualities, and us ually carry a lot of weed seeds. When the prices of good seed are high, the market is usually Hooded with cheap and inferior seeds, that ways cost the farmer more in the end. Random SIDE GLANCES By W.

The column. from Washington, is written by the junior senator of North Carolina, Robert R. Reynolds. The news in the column will be facts, and will not servo as a publicity outlet for "Our liob." There are so many develop ments in Washington at this time that will be f utmost importance to all of us that we feel 'this column direct from Washington should prove of much interest and value. The second column is from Raleigh, and is written for The Mountaineer by Dan Tompkins, of Sylva, who is now reading clerk in the House of Reprev.-ntatives. Mr. Tompkins is a capable writer, having ,oen lit,,,. uf The Jackson County Journal for Over 2o years. His column on ;i Hairs in Raleigh will be full of legislature high lights, briefly told, yet complete enough to give full facts. Few weekly papers carry such a complete coverage of news from the state and national capital, as this paper is now carrying. A MATTER OF NECESSITY Elsewhere in today's paper, aonears an an nouncement stating that effective Anril firt the subscription price of The Mountaineer will' be increased fifty cents a year. This change in price has been due to a general increase in the cast of nroducino- a newspaper, and especially one that is now rrv. ing as many features, and the volump nf nW9 as The Mountaineer has been giving the readers. we have waited a loner time tn price change, and wish that we could (Win,, on the old price basis, but such cannot be done, unless we cut down on the quality of th narw-r and we will not even consider that but in stead, we plan further improvements. I he staff has been increased onu i-hirA rinr. ing the past five years, and all will crrp that the amount of work that each is doing has been increased rather than lightened.

Conferences of Federal and state tax experts with the view to draw the lines for sources of taxation, to the ni tv.of ..,-4. of government will not invade the tax rieia 01 another, are sorely needed.

The lawver shoved his stenoirranh fr w, right into the floor, and she landed so hard, that Mr. Lampkin and others in the conference vowed they heard the "landing sound" across the street. Of course t.ho numn nf tv.. was not given, but this much can be said about him. if the 'suhiivt f evision ever comes im in hi he will probably turn red under the gills. After hearing vivid descriptions of the Hood area over the radio, and how thousands upon thousands were .suffering from thirst, while raging waters .si vged under their feet,' we could not help but think how fortunate the people of thi.s area are no floods, and the best of water to be found in the world. The feature column by Senator Reynolds, which now appears in this paper each week, was a day late m arriving this week. Could it be that, "Our Dob" lost account of the days after his "extended kis3 of Mus Jean Harlow on the -capitol steps last week?" A SPEAKER WORTHY OF YOUR TIME H e have never heard Dr. Charles E. Barker give one of his famous lectures, but we have read of his reputation as one of the outstand ing platform lecturers in the country Next Tuesday, Dr. Barker will give three ot his lectures in Waynesville. One at eleven at the high school, one at the Rotary Club at 1::j'anfin that evening at the court house at 7:30. The one at the court house will be for the public, and every effort is being made to get a full house to hear Dr. Barker. This famous lecturer is coming here under the auspices of the Waynesville Rotary Club under their community service activities No charges whatever will be made for any of Dr Barker's lectures. - His appearance here is just another con tribution which the Rotary Club is making to the community.

On the basis of estimates of Fed eral tax revenue for the fiscal year 1937, every man. woman onrl fhilrl ;n pay an average of $45.00 in Federal taxes. In 1931, they paid an average of onlv about Ca 1)1 ta tl Pn rns r efaf L- i local taxes are incomplete, but It is uKaueu mm; witn f ederal taxes, the total is in the vicinity of $100. For a family of five, this means a total of $500,000. Obviously, this tax burden Is too great and it is mni&A w. our people do not realize its weight on the family budget. Of course, there are times when taxes cannot be immediately reduced without the curtailment of widespread governmental activities. Weare pass- mg through such times at present The biisis fop eady at hand. Four years ago a subcommittee nf th. Hs..c w ' j Means committee, headed by the able Representative Fred M.
