FOR A "BETTER LIFE" The Easter season brings with it the bright seals for crippled children's work, as harbingers of joy in a joyous period. These seals bring to the attention of the public fine work being done for children and adults, unfortunately handicapped by crippling diseases or accidents, and the need for pur suing the effort unceasingly. Modern science and modern methods have brought a new life to many -persons whose afflictions onoe were considered -.hopeless. But these modern blessings are not yet available to all who need them. There is still much to be done. The sale of the seals during Easter Week will go a long ways towards assuring a better life for seme unfortunate cripple. Here in Hay wood County, a clinic is being held each week for cripples. Dr. Dudley W. Smith is devoting his time and services without charge to the clinic. Some 17 are now receiving treatment, and many others need it. The problem confronting those in charge of this work is that of focusing attention on the fact that there are many cripples who can be given a better life, and it is through the sale of these seals that such a plan will be carried out. Such an aim cannot help but attract the sympathy and support of the community and these can best be offered by making the seal campaign an outstanding success. The seals sell for a penny. THE JOURNAL STEPS OUT Last week. Editor Dan Tompkins issued a 20-page edition celebrating his 25th Silver Anniversary as editor-publisher of the Jackson County Journal. Mr. Tompkins has rendered his community many services, not only in the newspaper field, but as a public official from mayor to repre sentative in the legislature. He has been in the forefront of many a civic battle for his county. In almost every instance they have won, although some battles have been waigied over a period of years. A man wtfio edits a paper for 25 years, in a small community, and still has enough fight left to enter a race for the second time for the legis lature, as has Dan, is something for the histor ians to write about. CCC CUTS ANOTHER CAKE Five years ago this week, the first CCC Camps were opened in the Southern Region of the U. S. Forest Service. During this time, more than 260,000 acres of idle land have been reforested, 18,000 miles of truck trails built, millions of seedlings set out, and (hundreds of thousands of man-days spent fighting forest fires. Right here in our County, numerous acres have been reforested, trails built, and even roads constructed. The thousands of enrollees in the camps in this area have done a good job, and if nothing more has. been accomplished, it has made the average person conscious of the necessity of forest preservation, which is so essential, es pecially in Western North. Carolina. A Charlotte5 taxi driver was recently hail ed into court and fined $2 for tooting his horn. Suefh an ordinance here might have a tendency to eliminate some of these politicians from saying too much. THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER THURSDAY, APRIL 7. 1, THE YOUTH MOVEMENT We are deeply interested in the Youth movement, which is gaining so much momen tum in this community. We sympathize with youth and growing pains, and a yearning for something better, for a higher standard. We are not so far away from the teen age that we cannot remember how it feels to be young, and to be looking and hoping that we can better this world. ' We would like to see a recreational center for the young people of the town. It would serve a splendid purpose in Waynesville. We admire the spirit that prompts the idea. We realize that with the changing conditions there are not so many duties about the home for the modern youth to assume, and therefore there is more idle time, that must be filled someway. But buying a lot and financing a building are both no small undertakings. The proof, is that the idea of a community center is not new in Waynesville. It has been launched a number of times by various groups, and with, the exception of the Legion Home, no other or ganization has been successful in financing such an undertaking. We greatly fear that regard less of how worth while the movement is, that there will not be sufficient funds available in the oemmunity at the present time to realize this dream. It is true that Canton has such a center, but the citizens of the town did not finance it. As a substitute we would like to offer a "back to home movement." It sounds terribly old fashioned and uninteresting, perhaps bor ing. The tendency of the times is to commer cialize all pleasures, money must be spent to have fun. After the evening meal in most homes, it seems to be one grand exodus of the young people of the house, in their scramble to "get going places." We do not condemn this desire to get out, but we do regret the fact that in many cases, the habit becomes so strong that the ability to find happiness in oneself, in the home and in simple pleasures is lost, and with it something that is very fine and satisfying. Restlessness of mind and body are a part of "grovring up," but the cultivation of mental poise, through which the steady flame of happi ness burns must begin when one is young. And in the unbroken circle of Ihome and family life is to be found one of the greatest contributions to this desired state, Try getting acquainted with your own family, may be they too, were young once. They might remember how it was more than you think. THE MID WEST LEADS Month in and month out, the press release from Park headquarters, shows that Ohio leads all other states in the number of cars passing through the Park, outside of North Carolina and Tennessee. For March, however, Illinois took the lead in foreign cars. From actual count is is proven that people in the mid-west have more interest in our territory than those to the south of us. We think of our major "tourist crop" as coming from Florida, Georgia and South Caro lina. As we have frequently said before, per haps a more profitable field from which to reap a harvest would be the mid-west. For the tropics, special golf balls are used to stand the heat. Even in this country we have seen aigolfer fan his ball for a long time with his club before hitting it. Punch. A congressman naturally spends lots of time fixing his fences, because that's where he sits most of the time.

TWO MINUTE SERMON BY THOMAS HASTWELL THE CALL THEN AND NOW In the manner of choosing his workers and sending them out to carry his message and his program to the world, Christ teaches a number of splendid lessons that mijrht be aptly applied to the work of his program' today. The first lesson is to be found in the fact that the men who were invited to become his followers came willingly. They did not offer excuses. They did what they could in the best way that they could. The second lesson is to be found in the fact that these workers were selected from the very ordinary walks of life, men who were busy from daylight until dark in pursuit of their humble callings. They had '.bo special train ing, no special education, no cultural attainments. The third lesson might be found in the fact that when Christ sent out his workers without money or means, without even an extra coat. I often think of these things when requests are made for workers in the church, and the promotion of it3 program are met with refusals and excuses, and one of which just as truly might have been given by the men whom Christ called. I wonder what would have been the result, if, instead of responding to the call, they too, would have offered, instead, excuses. I wonder too, what would be the result today, if, instead of offering excuses, workers would respond in the spirit that the disciples did. : THE OLD HOMETOWN By STANLEY fOU'tfP L-UCKY KITTY, A MONTH F1?0A NOW VODD BE A &olp VJIPOVJ--AND MKJHT RNt YOURSELF LOCKED IN THEI?e FOUR VE , 1 usssss; s :? : ; SSMtWM THE WEEKLY CLARION OFIce CAT WAS FOUNO THIS WHEN the' Eforrore opened up mis desk Random SIDE GLANCES By VV. Curtis Russ One of the most pathetic sights in life, is a cripple child. I have seen scores of them, and I am yet to see one who sought sympathy. Their misfortune is not passed on to the world in the form of "wanted sympathy." Their dispositions enable them to keep their physical defects within, and to give out cheerfulness and smiles that are coveted by any normal person. Not long ago, I was watching a group of children at play. Among them was a cripple. The others were romping and frolicing, and having a good time. This one little fellow, stood by, seemingly enjoying the mer riment of others. His face was wreathed in smiles. He showed every sign of being happy, yet within, his little heart was literally crushed, as he longed to join the others. One of the group, after awhile, approached this little fellow, and tak ing him by the hand, said: "Come on let's play, I'll hold your hand." The little fellow, with a cheerful voice prompted by a broken heart, replied: "I'm sorry, I want to, but I'm crippled." Those two words "I'm crippled"- pierced the air like a bullet. Al though said in a cheerful voice, it was quickly felt by the group, and their romping and hilarious laughter was quickly brought under control, for they realized, one of their pals, could not join them, because "I'm crippled." Last week, I heard a 13-year-old bright faced boy, tell how for the last nine years, he had undergone numerous operations on his right limb, in order that he might walk. He now wears a brace is facing a series of painful operations, yet he is smilincr throueh it all willing to pay any price of physical sugering in order to gain a "better life." The tirce to nlnv is nnt lu rm polling to this boy who must spend big wakintr hours in a brace, and Vwii pvpr in mind his incapacity for too active sport. This little fellow, however, is not mourning his misfortune, because he has faith in modern science and med icine to know that somewhere, some one, at sometime can restore his crippled limb, so that he too, may enjoy a "better life. ' The little fellow above, is just one of many right here in Haywood, that has confidence enough in the public to feel that the response to the annual Easter Seal Sale will enable him to benefit from some of the advantages made possible by the seal money. This year's seals are in yellow, blue and white, and show a small girl with a crutch under her arm, water ing the lily plant of Easter time, CAN OPEN MOUTH DANVILLE, Pa.

Motorists tell of the novelty of being pursued by a wild duck as they crossed the Susque hanna River bridge. They state that the duck apparently lives near the bridge and continues to chase BUto- mobiles for about two miles.
