North Carolina PRESS ASSOCIATION THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1937 ah A JOB WELL DONE The streets in the shopping, districts of Waynesville present a cheerf ul, and colorful at mosphere. The holiday spirit has been increas ed many fold since the members of the town force decorated the streets with colored lights and many yards of evergreen rope. After seeing the way in which some other towns have gone about preparing for the Christ mas season, we should have renewed faith and, pride in what our town officials have done for Waynesville. THE SENTELLE PAROLE A proud Irish mother, watching a troop of soldiers swing down the street, strained her eyes for her marching son. Soon she spotted him, and after close observation, exclaimed: "Look, they are all out of step except my Mike." That story can be well applied totne recent editorial published by The Mountaineer, under the caption : "Governor Hoey Is Not Consistent." It seems that some other papers have found reason to differ with our "general" view.. An editorial on the subject expressed from a differ ent angle is being reprinted below, and was taken from The State, Raleigh. The Mountaineer editorial had to do, with the manner in which the. governor commuted the jail sentence of R. E. " Sen telle, who was charged with driving while drunk in Montgom ery County. While our remarks did not tend to deal with Mr. Sentelle personally, and to that point we tried to make ourselves plain, we find that some people did not take our views in that light. . The editor of this paper does not believe that Mr. Sentielle was drunk. Every report on ;Mr. Sentelle is1 that he is no,w and always has been as dry as a powder keg. Needless, to say, he was a victim of circumstances, and stood trial when his principal witnesses were absent. Many of those who know Mr. Sentelle, and his sober habits1, did everything possible to get the sentence commuted. The sentence was a fine of $225 and 30 days in jail. His friends were positive that there was an error in the eharges. The State Magazine, in their editorial, under the heading, "The SenteHe Parole", had .the f blowing" to say : "Some months ago, R. E. Sentelle, former member of the legislature from Brunswick County, was arrested in Montgomor County on a charge of driving a car while intoxicated. He wms sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and the costs, but he gave notice of appeal and the case came up before Judge J. A. Rousseau in superior court. The Judge immediately increased the fine to $225, ordered suspension of Mr. Sentelle's driver's license for a year and, on top of all that, said that the Brunswick County man would have to go to jail for thirty days. "We think that Judge Rousseau's action was unwarranted. In his zeal to uphold the law he went entirely too far. If the defendant had been a lowly Negro or cotton-mill worker, the chances are that the Judge would have let the sentence of the lower court stand. But it so happened that Mr. Sentelle had served in the legislature, that he had been ordained as a minister, that he was also a lawyer and well known throughout the State. So the Judge felt duty-bound to make a horrible example of him! Tn other words, Mr. Sentelle was being pena lized fcr having been a prominent, citizen. "That wasn't justice: it was rank injustice. "We are glad that Governor Hoey recog nized it as such and that Mr. Sentelle was not .made to serve his jail sentence." EGGS, EGGS AND MORE EGGS Western North Carolina imports forty per umed. statement . r, newly r.imed direc tment ( ." ;ie Farmers 20 cents a dozen, Mr. cent cf all the. jy c r. comes from Paul A. ha tor of the pou'. Federation. With eggs a o s Raper points out tliat he farmers of this area are losing a gooc ca ;h :n.ome, by letting some thing like four mi' ion ;zen eggs be shipped into this territory. A recent fair: cer.s 5 shewd that almost five million doze" r v re piodueed in Wes tern North Caro'ir.a, wi: le about nine million dozen were consumed. In getting down t si igle units, Mr. Raper figures that sorr.ethir. r Ike 100,000,000 eggs will be required each year for Western North Carolina to become self-sustaining- frJm the standpoint of eggs and poultry. The value c" the egg.; produced in 18 coun ties in this end of the state, in 1935, was $1, 000,000, the poultry expert said. This amount could have been increased forty per cent if suffi cient eggs had been produced. The fact that there is a ready market for eggs in this area is proven. While on the other hand, he says that the climate and other condi tions in this section are favorable for poultry raiding and egg production. The poultryman has a home market, and can easily compete with foreign markets. With all these facts in mind, it seems only practical that there is a real opportunity for farm incomes to be inci eased by more egg pro duction. Feeding poultry en grain, should bring in more revenue than selling the grain direct on the market. AN EXPERIMENT FOR HAYWOOD Seldom is there a term cf civil court in Hay wood County, but what there is a lawsuit pending for trial that is an outgrowth of a dis pute over a boundary line. In recent years, there have been several suitr, that have been more than passing interest to the general public. And because Haywood is somewhat well versed in suits over land lines, we are reprinting a recent editorial from The Rotarian Magazine: The story has been going the rounds of a city man who bought a farm. While examin ing the line fence which had been a source of much quarreling in the past, the neighboring farmer said: : : ''" "That fence is a full foot over on my land." "Very well," said the newcomer, "we shall set the fence over two feet on my side." "Oh ! But that is more than I claim," stammered the surprised farmer. "Never mind; I would rather have peace with my neighbor than two feet of earth." "That's sure fine of you," replied the farm er retractably, "but I couldn't let you do a thing like that. Let's not move the fence at aii." : ' It is suggested that the next time you have a dispute about "rights," you try surprising the other fellow by giving him more than he claims, and then see what happens. ' y THE FIREWORKS LAW It might be well to remind our readers at this time of one of the best pieces of local legis lation ever made into a law that particular law sponsored by Representative J. F. Cabe in the last session of the legislature which prohibits the sale of fireworks in Haywood County. Not only is the sale of fireworks prohibi ted, but it is also against the law to shoot them in the County, unless special permission is granted by law enforcingofficers and this last clause was inserted for the benefit of public celebrations such as Labor Day' and Fourth of July. No doubt there will be attempts made to bootleg fireworks into the county, and of course, once here, they will be shot. Ample warning has been given, an. V the law should be followed to the letter to see that it is enforced. !

After all, half of our ailments, and 'and discomforts are more or less mental. Take for instance Monday afternoon. One of the members of the staff came in and reported the mercury down to 14. And immediately everyone began to shiver and get a long face about the cold. Up to that time, the weather had been given little thought. During the remodeling of the plant, we were forced to erect a temporary stove in the office until the boiler could be replaced. Because of lack of time, the stove remains where we put it, but is not in use. To date, I do not recall a visitor that has come into the office but what made straight for the stove and stood near it, al though not one bit of lire has been in the stove for over a week.

Ray as a member of the board of aldermen of the town of Waynes ville did not come as a complete surprise, It was apparent that Mr. Ray would likely get the place scon after it was learned that there would be a vacancy on the board. Mr. Ray is not only a successful business man, and a community builder, but he has also had experience in serving on the county board cf commissioners. This is the second public office which Mr. Ray has held, and neither time was he elected by the people both by appointment. That, in it self, speaks well for the new alderman. He served on the board of commissioners about 1? months, and his record while a mem ber of the Haywood governing group, no doubt, had much to do with his being named as a town alderman. To say that Jim Massie is on bis toes in the theatre business is putting it mildly. Have you ever stopped to check on the number of pictures that he gets here before near-by larger places ? -. In the past few months he has been booking so close to the release dates, that on several occasions he has had to make substitutions of pic tures because the studios failed to get the pictures ready for release in time. It is often the case of a small town, to get pictures many months after they have been released. Of course, to be able to get early releases over large towns means "being there on the job." Regardless of the fact that E. K. Herman is an accountant, he is inter ested in machinery, particularly com plicated 'machines like adding ma chines, linotypes and the like. Not many people that are good ac countants, care a hoot about ma chinery but he delights in discuss ing it, and more than that, ho knows enough about it that he could pose as a machinist and get by with it.

The toughest job a politician has is to find some way to correct a mis take without admitting he made one. Two dictators could be called Hit and Miss.

He had just visited his doctor for a physical exa mination and had received an A-plus grade. He had ?d reason to be happy. It's a grand and glorious feeling know there's nothing wrong with the old machine. Bu it's extremely important that we discover any unsuspect defect before it causes trouble. The only way to do 'p is by periodic health examination. Go to your doctor f" a thorough examination at least once a year.
