THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1916 Sugar Or Beer When a housewife parts with her Number 39 sugar coupon she is bound to have a rather hopeless feeling, for we have noticed that all clerks seem to feel that they should warn the shoppers that it will be a long time before she can get any more. Yet on the other hand amidst the scarcity of this vital food product, we see that more than 100,000 tons of sugar, not pounds, mind you, but tons of sugar and sugar .-imps are being consumed annually in making beer in this country. As we read the astounding figures it oc curred to us that if they were consulted, maybe those who like their bottle of beer might like to ease up a bit and do without a bottle or two and have a nice crusty apple pie, or a blackberry cobbler, either of which are practically prohibitive at present, if you drink sugar in your coffee. Roads We read that Governor Cherry has re ceived enough road complaints to fill a big file that is if he kept them, but instead he sends them on to Sandy Graham, chairman of the State Highway Commission, who has also received a big collection. The other communities not trusting to the written word are making up delegations to visit the Governor and put their problems before him face to face. We read that before the Governor sends the complaints on to Mt. Graham he writes the "complainers to have patience and to cooperate," and he further adds that most of the dirt roads in the state are in a deplor able condition due to the heavy rains and snows. Every county is begging that their farm to market roads be put in repair. We realize that strikes have slowed up the general re conversion we had all anticipated, but the time has come now for definite action, and we believe that public opinion will be so persistent that the farm to market roads will be put in passable travel condition. We have seen a lot in the papers about the great "connecting links of highways" that will wind through our state. We here, have talked ourselves blue in the face about park ways and scenic roads. They are fine. We want them very much, but before we work ourselves down on these "drawing cards" for our tourists, let's get the folks of Haywood county out of the mud. Let's bend our ef forts to get decent roads for our school buses to bring our children to and from school. This is our immediate duty. The farmer cannot operate his farm with out a good road to get his products into mar ket. He has to come to town for supplies. His cars and trucks are not in as good condi tion as they once were, which also hampers traveling and with the mud that is now prev alent in Haywood county, transportation is a serious problem. Do not get us wrong, we have never missed: an opportunity to give publicity to the build ing of our scenic highways. They will bring thousands of tourists here and we want them to corner but before we get ready for these out of county travelers, let us "mend our own fences" right here in Haywood. We would also advocate permanent rural roads and not give some temporary relief and then: forget about the farm to market roads, which are the very backbone of our Haywood county agriculture and business activity.. A Wave reports she is taking the place of three men in Washington, but wishes three men were taking her places. Great Lakes Bulletin -; Looking Ahead We trust that the joint meetings of all farm groups in the county sponsored by the farm and home agents will be well attended. They come as a guide post along the way to reconversion they mean we are traveling back to pre-war viewpoints. They signify that once again we are building and going forward. For too many years home and farm planning stood at a standstill. In the rush of the war emergency every thing was bent to meet the demands of con tribution to our part in the fight. Now we can take stock of our homes and our farms here in Haywood. It is a very fine feeling to fall back into peacetime ways, and to pick up the ragged edges about us. Farmers have worked hard during the war with food quotas to meet. They have not had time to think much of improvements in their homes and farms. The years, however have been profitable and most families have tucked away something and dedicated it to permanent building and improvements. The programs as outlined by the home and farm agents offer many practical suggestions, and everyone will find some help for their own particular problems. "CITY "OF MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES" Plant A Dogwood Last week was Dogwood Week in North Carolina and every patriotic and civic-minded Tar, Heel was supposed to plant a dogwood. It was set apart for planting the official flower of the-state by the General Assembly, and sponsored by the N. C. Garden clubs. Maybe there were some planted around here, but we doubt it, for the wet, soggy ground did not render good planting condi tions. In this mountaneous section it is a bit early. Since we saw no signs of, any cooperation with this worthy movement in these parts, we suggest that the Chamber of Commerce designate a day for this community on which every citizen who can possibly do so, plant a dogwood. For years we have had sporadic spells of wanting to have a wholesale landscape proj ect, but so far they have never materialized. Now this is a golden opportunity, with a nominal outlay to have a planting project put into effect, that will reap rich and lasting rewards that will add to the beauty of our community. We were surprised after the announcement of the official Dogwood Week to learn that the reason this tree was selected was because there are 60 varieties and it will grow from the coast to the mountains. Approved List We were gratified that the Haywood County Hospital again made the list of ap proved institutions of the American College of Surgeons. All such institutions have had to operate under trying conditions during the war years and it has been extremely difficult for those in authority to reach the standard set up in the past. In the first place both doctors and nurses loft civilian life and answered the call for service in the armed forces. Here in Hay wood county six of our physicians served in the armed forces and seven nurses entered the Nursing Corps, who had been directly connected with the Haywood hospital. In addition to this decrease in medical and nursing services, it has not been easy to fill other positions at the hospital due to the in crease in employment opportunities which grew out of the war. This condition has made it very hard to keep up the standards of the institution here as has been the case all over the nation. We feel sure that no institution has been able to maintain its pre-war standards, and we say this in no spirit of criticism, because it has been true in all phases of service, it is even a greater credit that any institution has been able to pass the critical eyes of the rep resentatives of the American College of Sur geons and remain on the list. Dr. (Lt. Cmdr.) J. B. Westmoreland, and Dr. (Major) R. H. Moore, of Canton, have received their discharges and are back in civilian life. Only one physician in fhe Waynesville area has returned to civilian life, Dr. (Lt. Col.) N. F. Lancaster, and he has not yet resumed his practice. Others volunteering in the service and who are still serving are : Comdr. Thomas String fleldt at Edenton Air Base, Major W. Dudley Smith and Captain Gladys Osborne, who are now in Germany. Nurses who left the Haywood County Hos pital to serve in the armed forces, some of whom have been discharged were: Lt, Kath erine Shuford, Lt. Genevieve Jones, Lfe Ah berta Sease, Lt. Anne Williams, Lt. Sarah Hunt, Lt. Louise Hendrix (Leatherwood), and Lt. Alva Frady. We salute both the hospital that made the approved list and also the medical men and the nurses who left the home field to serve their country. Both have done an excellent job, one on the home front and the other behind combat lines. They both deserve to be placed on "approved lists." Mr SSmiMWm ma Voice OF THE People Would you favor a maintenance system for secondary or farm to market roi'ds in, this state whereby the roads would be kept up under contract rather than by prisoners? William M. Medford -t approve of having them put in I liOOd condition, rut not under a ! contract system. ' POINTED PARAGES By WALTER ALLISON ('has. D. Ketner I would not favor a mainte nance by contract, but would cer- . f Hit mails twine j taini ui'i'iuvc v'"- " j put in traveling condition." Miss S. A. Jones "Yes, I would favor a contract of maintenance under tho state high way system." Hon J. Sloan "No." HERE and THERE By HILDA WAY GWYN Chas. E. Kay 'I would favor a combination of the two met hods, as being the most practical and calculated to get the must work done." Frank Byrd Yes. ami both for we have to have something for the prisoners 'u do." Even smart people get the wrong slant on things. Now take tho case of President Truman and his dream of a cafeteria hitched onto the White House. Personally, we adore a good cafeteria. We like to see food and just how it looks before wc order it. Sometimes what we would be tempted to order doesn't look "so hot" when we view it ready to serve, and in such cases in a cafeteria, you can change your mind and not spend the whole time you are eating in a state of fond regret over your lack of judg ment. Then generally speaking, food is always appetizing in a cafeteria. But a noisy, dish clang ing cafeteria, which describes even the best of them, stuck on to the most beautiful and dignified home in America almost turned us pgainsl cafeterias at least tempo rarily. We would like to pat every Senator and Congressman on the back who lifted an eyebrow of dis approval and congratulate the Commission on Fine Arts foj" their part in the order for "the plans for a cafeteria deleted from tho blue prints for enlarging tho west wing." Now the proposed museum was not so bad. but we are glad it was left out too. As for the auditorium for the press, radio and television con ferences with the President they seem a fining part of the order of the White House. Travel is getting organized and that picture of the "World of to morrow" is coming into view. Wo read yosterday of "complete out fits for wok ends in Europe." Just imagine such. It seems that this particular collection of clothes is the outgrowth of the inauguration of a trans-Atlantic service, soon to be put into operation for week ends in Europe. For the three days, there is everything you would need for any occasion already assem bled You just go by and pick it up. en route to the airport (that is if you have the price) Wool paja mas for one thing and blouses and skirts that can bo combined for street or evening. Haywood county has long been a pioneer .Believe it or not. we are the first county in tho state to have a Lady Farm Agent She is called1 a Home Demonstration Agent, but she is actually a farm agent, and holds a B.S. degree in agriculture Mrs. Ruth Carpenter, blonde, young, and attractive but don't forget she "knows her onions." Mrs. Carpenter is a native of Mc Dowell county, but spent most of her life in Swain county. A grad uate of the University of Tennes see, she had six months with the Farm Security Administration as homo supervisor in Handcock. Tenn., before coming to Havwood county. If a farmer wants to know how to vaccinate a calf for black leg or to tattoo the animals she can be just as much help to him as she can to his wife in solving her can ning problems in the kitchen. We never saw Dick Reynolds or his wife. Blitz Reynolds to know them. Their personal affairs are none of our business, but we are sorry their marriage has gone on the rocks. It seems that too much money can cause as much unhap piness as too little. It could be that is the fly in the ointment, and it could be just the other woman, who might have happened along, even without the background of wealth. At any rate the Reynolds have four small children, and we like to think of our North Carolina millionaires as being able to take riches We see that Mrs, Reynolds is to contest the case and we hope sha pul9 up a good flgbt. We all. have our troubles, don't we? Hollywood is having a terrif 10 headache over how to get by with "Forever Amber" and not let her "go on forever" ... But at last what to do with the "armorous and comlpetely unscrupulous heroine of Katherine Winsor's .lengthy his torical novel about wrong being punished and right triumphanting," has been solved. Amber is to die If you read the book, you recall that Amber was a very hale and hearty gal, as well as an amorous soul. She lived through the Lon don plague.and a number of other experiences that would have put most people in their graves. How the censors can let her get by alive, much loss dead is bcvoiul us. Can't you see that line heading toward the Park Theater? C. V. Bell "Yes. 1 would approve a mainte nance system." Richard Bradley would favor a maintenance system for these farm to market roads." We honor this week, Mrs. J. II. j Clo. Often visitors in town become ' greatly interested in local affairs. ! They say nice things about our climate, and the scenerv, but it is i a rare thing for a person to work j nearly every day for a year, giving her services free to a public enter- j prise. Mrs. Clo. a native of Perm "sylvania, but for the past few years living in Brooklyn, came to Waynesville last January, "pros pecting" more or less for a porma- j nent residence w hen her husband J retires. She wanted to know what 1 place would be like "summer coma winter." Her daughter is a trained librarian, and she herself a great i reader. It was natural for her to turn her footsteps to the door of ! the Haywood County Library, but that was not all. She offered her services, having become library minded from her daughter. She loved handling and working with books as well as reading. The up shot of it all was that Miss Mar garet Johnston took her on prac tically as a regular worker and she devoted the greater part of her time in aiding in the processing and handling of the books in the County Library, giving her time for the love of the work and her interest in the communi'y. Dan Watkins "In the lirst place the farm to market roads should be put in per manent condition, hard surfaced and then they could be adequately maintained by prisoners." Two veterans rushed into a drug store last night and captured three pill boxes. 280-lb. woman stepped off a bus Wednesday. It certainly looks like a big tourist season for Waynesville, Beauty parlor operators better not strike. We don't want this country to lose face.

More people are suffering from ill health, un happiness and confusion as the result of self-centered living than any other cause. The way to over come it is to make our lives God centered.
