Romans 10:10. MORRISON FISH HATCHERY Encouraging news of today is the general enlargement" of the Fish Hatchery at Balsam. The Hatchery has for the past 12 years served a dual purpose: first, as a means of provid ing fish for restocking Western North Carolina streams, and thus making this area a fisher man's paradise; second, as an attractive spot for home folks and visitors to see first hand bow man i aiding nature in keeping- the streams stocked with fish. By restocking the streams, the sale of fishing license showed a material increase this past year. Some of this money is being wisely spent in enlarging the Hatchery in order that the majority of the fish hatched tihere can be kept until they are five or six inches long be fore being replanted in the streams of 14 coun ties in Western North Carolina. The former practice has been to replant them when real small, and as a result, many died. It is a far-sighted move on the part of the Fishery Commission, J. D. Chalk, and his asso ciates, in making this enlargement program ahead of the completion of the Park. All indi- cations are that the lure of sporting trout in these mountain streams will be one of the main attracti"ns to the visitors, and with this new and larger program already underway, the Hat chery will be able to supply sufficient fish for restocking. We are confident that the way Leo Reiger", superintendent of the Morrison Hatchery has handled tjhe work had a great deal to do with the Commissioner deciding on such an elabo rate expansion program. 'Haywood is fortunate in having the Hat- vchery within her bounds. G-MEN AND PUBLIC SENTIMENT The non-resistance capture of Bill Payne and John Turner, North Carolina's desperate outlaws, by Federal Agents, last week, is fur ther proof f the efficiency of the federal offi cers. Citizens of the entire country admire the -vork oft!:.? C.-Men, their efficiency, their meth ods of iir. "th-ir man," and public senti ment is back of the men and their work. However, from The Sanford Herald, the progressive paper published in the town where the desperadoes were captured, we learn from the new account of the capture, that the Fede ral Agenfci "Called back to Sanford from Char lotte several hours after the arrest, and asked if the citizens of the town knew what had hap pened. From the Herald's account, it sounded sarcastic, and tended to be-little the citizens of that community. If that were the case, and the G-Men did assume that attitude, we feel that continuance of that practioa will eventually react on the Federal Agents, and public sentiment will like ly change. The G-Men are accomplishing too much to let a thing like that take place. DIXIE LAND The following story is a new version of the origin of "Dixie," was found in an exchange, and should be of interest to all Southerners: Before the War Between the States, a bank in New Orleans issued $10 bills tru.i were en graved in English on one side and in French on the other. On the French side was the word Dix," the French word for "ten." The Ameri cans throughout the Mississippi valley, not knowing French called the bills "Dixies" and the land to be known a3 the "land of dixies" or "dixieland." OVERHEAD COSTS Seldom does a newspaper take their readers behind the scenes into the business office of the publication. At this time, we believe our read ers would be interested in knowing that the plain white paper on which newspapers are printed is now costing publishers 21 per cent more since the first of the year. A 21 per cent increase cn paper alone makes a material increase in the overhead, yet, for the most part, the publishers -will absorb this in crease in overhead and continue to sell their subscriptions and advertising at the same price. The Mountaineer, this week, is carrying several new features, together with the large list already found each week. These new fea tures cost money, but our sole aim is to make the newspaper the very best possible, and to serve the county and section to the best ad vantage. The first inclination of a publisher, when faced with rising production costs, might be to "cut down" on the number of pages. Discon tinue some feature. Cut corners. Get out as "light" as possible. While that might be the logical method to follow, the publishers of The Mountaineer have taken the opposite view point. A general increase in pages, features and fuller coverage of the news field is our policy. Hav ing done this, we will know that we have given the subscribers and advertisers really more than they paid for, and at the same time served the community loyally. Although handicapped by ever-increasing overhead, we are striving eagerly to reach that goal. Along this same line of thought, The Times, Brevard, had the following to say of the rise in paper costs ; "Bound down by fixed prices which so far publishers have been unable to shake, the news print that went into the making of this issue of the paper cost 21 per cent more than that of last week. This more than one-fifth increase in price is being absorbed by the Times manage ment, and like a few other newspapers of the section, The Times hopes to continue at its former price. "However, co-operation of all subscribers must be had if the yearly subscription price is to be kept at its present level of one dollar per year in the county, and one-fifty per year outside. Promptness in sending in renewals as soon as notices are received will be a material help to The Times office, and: if our readers will give us the response which we are requesting, in crease in subscription price will be warded off as long as possible. This is not a "cry baby" statement, nor is it a begging appeal. Our subscribers can help us keep the paper at its present price if they will be prompt, which will cut the cost of making up and mailing expiration notices. "In a few years, it is hoped, Dixie publishers will be able to produce their own newsprint -at a fair price. In the meantime, the price for imported white paper necessarily has to be met if we are to secure paper for printing." LEGALIZED LIQUOR vs HOME PRODUCT Down in Atlanta, the Georgia legislature is battling away on proposed legislation which would permit the sale of legal liquor in six of Georgia's largest counties. One Georgia law maker, in a bitter attack against the proposed plan, said, in part: "Liquor stores would sell whiskey made by Yankees, I favor patronizing home indus tries, and continue using Georgia corn. I'm against sending good Georgia money north for a product that is made profusely right here in our own state." This liquor question, it appears, is getting bigger all the time, and farther from a satis factory solution. However, from what we can leam, Georgia has no complaint to make of their liquor busi ness, if sales on Georgia white liquor are as good in every other section of the country as they are in this community. THE PISGAH HIGHWAY Last week, announcement was made in The Times, Brevard, that work would start this week on the lower five-mile link of Highway No. 284 across Pisgah to Waynesville. The contract calls for this lower five-mile section to be com pleted in October, while the construction work on the upper ten mile section in Transylvania is slated to be finished by April. These sections when completed will give a good road from Brevard to the Wagon Road Gap the Haywood-Translyvania line. The present plans are to get work started on this side of the mountain at an early date, as Commissioner McKee recently said some $70, 000 was available for work on this side of No. 234. In The Hendersonville Times-News, in a column on the editorial page, Noah Hollowell, said in this connection: "Outlying communities like Hendersonville will be greatly helped by the facilities for travel to points of such scenic in terest as the Pisgah National Forest."

VIEWS OF EDITORS Planning Many a time when a lady appears pensive she is really just planning to be very expensive. Memphis Com mercial Appeal. It's So The trouble with looking impar tially at both sides of a question is that both sides immediately wallop you for being on the other. Chicago Tribune, POINTED PARAGRAPH America and Britain might st the Japanese a note to end notes. Some people spend a great deal time planning to do nothing. Sometimes an investment is a gc buy; at other times it is goodby. Criticism has been defined as thing that may be avoided by sayi nothing, doing nothing, and bei nothing.

We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres, or a little money; and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great ben efits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation.

Confucius. Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use.- Johnson. It is with narrow-souled people as with narrow-necked bottles the less they have in them the more noise they make in pouring it out Pope. Go to friends for advice; to women for pity; to strangers for charity; to relatives for nothing. Spanish Proverb. When a man finds not repose in himself, it is in vain for him to seek it elsewhere. From the French. Tell me thy company and I will tell thee what thou art. Cervantes. The disadvantage of knowledge is that the more you know, the less fun it is to catch other people in mistakes. "NI BEBAS AQUA QUE NE VEASn "Look at the water before you drink" is the transla tion of the above old Spanish proverb. But in this en lightened age everyone knows it is impossible to judge whether water is pure or not simply by looking at it. And it would be just as absurd to attempt to deter mine the quality of a prescription by the same method. Yet there is ONE infallible sign.
