North Carotinn TJL THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1937 GOVERNOR HOEY ON LIQUOR STORES Governor Hoey like a good many other dry North Carolinians favored a state-wide refer endum on the liquor question. It seemed to be the only way to settle the argument. The General Assembly did not see fit to submit the question to the state as a whole, and the coun ties must deal with it one at a time. The governor makes clear his opposition to legalized liquor in a letter to the editor of the North Carolina Christian Advocate. After ex pressing the opinion that no citizen of the state will feel that the opening of a liquor store in Durham will be helpful to the student body of Duke University and the University of North Carolina, he said; "I do not believe that the liquor problem can be solved by legalizing the sale of alcoholic beverages. If liquor is an evil, as is freely ad mitted on every hand, then an effort to cloth it with respectability and set it up as a county agency, must result in greatly increasing its consumption and multiplying the ill effects flow ing from its use. "Neither the state of North Carolina nor any of its counties are so poor that profits from the sale of liquor are essential for the operation of its governmental agencies. The danger is that the desire for revenue will obscure our vision so that we shall not see clearly the des tructive effect of these liquor stores. In my judgment any county legalizing the sale of liquor for ten years will suffer such deteriora tion in its citizenship and such wreckage in the character of its young men that the profits de rived will pale in significance in comparison with the havoc wrought." GoTemor Hoey's statement will receive a chorus of "amens" from people- throughout North Carolina who cannot bring themselves to the point of favoring the giving up of a system, bad as it is, for a system that has been tried and discarded. The issue in the counties and in the state must become more than just whether or not we shall have liquor stores. It must be whether or not we shall be temperate. If we can educate the young to know the evil effects of liquor upon one's brain, upon one's body, upon one's character, the demand for liquor will inevitably decrease until liquor stores or the bootleggers will find the trade profitable. As some one expressed it recently, "We had a sit-down strike in the prohibition ranks after getting the 18th Amendment passed and we have been sitting down ever since." We are now reaping the re sults Smithfield Herald. THE ARROW HAS BEEN SHOT For several years, there has hung across Main Street under the Park sign, a large green arrow pointing down Depot Street with the words: "Eastern Entrance." Scores of visitors, and strangers in this community followed the arrow, thinking they were headed into the Park. Several times in dividuals here have met up with those who were misled, and what some of the strangers had to say would not do to be published. Last week the arrow was taken down. The sign is complete without the arrow, and cer tainly not misleading. Taking the arrow down was a good move, and it should remain down until there is an entrance into the Park from Soco Gap, Black Camp Gap or some other point in that section. We might explain here, that at the time the arrow was" erected, that those in charge of the work were led to believe by a group In Washington that an entrance into the park would be made within a short time in the di rection that the arrow pointed. I WHAT WOULD THE WORLD BE LIKE WITHOUT BABIES? There'd be no tiny fingers to 'cling warmly to our own. There'd be no downy little head to rest against a mother's breast. There'd be no starry eyes to gaze in wonder at everything with color. . .everything with motion. . .every thing that must soon have a name all its own! ' If there were no babies, there'd be no tip toeing through a soap-anc-talcum scented room ; ho startling awakening at a whimper, in the middle of the night; no formulas to fuss about; no tears at the fear of illness; no mingled sighs and clasped hands of a mother and father at the crib of their sleeping child. Babies are "trouble." But so is growing a garden, and keeping love alive, and living itself! For everything worth while must balance weep ing and laughter; the hard path with the easy road; the moments of despair with supreme moments of joy. Babies are precious not because they need us so completely. . .and only we can make their way in the world that needs them just as much as they need us. There's so much more to rearing a baby than just keeping them healthy. . .although that IS the most important thing of all. The baby has to grow, not only strong, but wise and capable; able to live his own life as every life must be lived, intertwined with other lives. From the first blanket, to the first cup he grasps in two hands; from the first chair he sits in, to the first game he learns to play, the baby is dependent on the things used for him, and which he learns to use himself. For these are the things that create his habits, develop his body and mind, and help to build his character. He can't choose what's right, because he's dependent on us to show him. So it's up to every mother and father to choose, critically and with an eye to helpfulness, those things which will make each and every baby's life a better life. . .well worth the living!- Ex. J JUNALUSKA SUPPLY CELEBRATES This week,' Jerry Liner, owner of Juna- luska Supply, formally celebrates his 25th year in business. Mr. Liner is still a young man. He start ed in business at the age of 21, and during the past 25 years has stayed steadily on the job, and has a thriving business that covers many phases of activity. Off hand we do not know of another person who has more different lines of business being operated by one man in Haywood County, than Mr, Liner has. We feel that it will be correct to say, that the success Mr. Liner has achieved, is due to the fact that he is not afraid of work. He en joys it, and seemingly thrives on it both phy sically and financially. Mr Liner is another example of a Haywood boy making good. MOTHERS THEN AND NOW Mother's Day holds a supreme place among the numerous days which, in recent years, have been designated for special attention to various subjects of interest. Its appeal in its class is comparable to that of the Fourth of July among patriotic fete days. Some of the tributes to motherhood which it evokes, however, seem scarcely fashioned to comply with modern requirements. Whistler's picture of his mother, sweet but tristful, and suggestive of reminiscence rather than of participation in life's activities, can scarcely be considered typical of the mother of today."-; . Ebulient youth has taken its mothers by the hand, has drawn her out of retirement, and has said to her: "Come mother, enjoy life." Women at forty and fifty years of age are no longer laid on the shelf, and most of them seem to be glad of their freedom. Does this mean that they are less rever enced than in the past? Is comradeship a bane to reverence? Mother love is as strong as it ever was, and the mother wiho tactfully participates in the pleasures of the young perhaps has a stronger hold on her offspring for their good than the mother on the shelf. In fact, there always have been mothers of what is called the "modern type" ; and many of them were tender mothers, reverenced by their children even if they were not "old ladies." . Exchange.

It is my understanding that there is a representative of the revenue de partment in town checking on sales tax returns, etc. Several merchants got jittery not that they have not paid all they are supposed to pay but it is the thoughts of being "check ed."

After looking over a cook book the J other day, I'm still of the opinion that I there is nothing quite as tasty as fresh cheese on a cookie. . In all my life, I've never heard of so many special weeks or days. In looking over the list for May, I found the following: Child health day, May 1. National Golf Week, May 1-8. National Egg Week, May 1-7. National Music Week, May 2-9. National Baby Week, May 3-8 National Restaurant Week, May 2-9. Mother's Day, May 9. Confederate Memorial Day, May 10. Coronation of Kmg George VI, May Editor The Mountaineer: Will you please read this letter and take the best part of it and print it in your paper. I am not much on writ ing, but I was at the Southeastern Hospital Conference in April and I met lots of salesmen and they said so many nice things about Waynes ville I thought Uie people would like to know about them. They all said Waynesville is a beautiful little town and everyone was so nice. The cli mate there is the best in the world, and Waynesville had the nicest small hospital they had ever been in. They also said Miss Hampton was the kind est and finest superintendent they had ever met in all their years of work. Mr. Cobb and I traveled from the west to Connecticut and I worked in lots of the best hospitals and I can say that the Haywood hospital is the nicest and best equipped and the most efficiently managed hospital I have Miss Hampton is the finest superin tendent I have ever worked for. And I have been nursing over twenty years. Mr. Cobb thinks it is the best hos pital he was ever in and that the nurses are so good to patients, Waynesville has the finest all-year, round climate of any place I have ever worked in and I can saylyOJChof ever lived, and that was what we wanted. And I hope jt will not be long before we will be living in Waynes ville again. MR. AND MRS. W. F. COBB. POINTED ARAGRAPHS The auto -speeder usually discovers his mistake by accident.
