Search For Oil
We hope unless they arc dead certain that
there is oil before they start ! : yiny a well in
Haywood county. If it was found after such
effort that there was no oil, the let down
would be terrible.
We guess many a dream has been blasted
for the folks around Cape Hatteras when the
Standard Oil Company made their test with
no results, and moved over to Pamlico Sound.
It is possible that the next well will be duir in
the waters of the sound, as the e-e-ineers
claim that the findings of the jeolufists
justify exploration.
New Stock
Since we -have all been stumped by the
unexpected high cost of living in general and
the prices of special things we want in par
ticular, we know just how Wayne ( 'urpening,
county farm agent, C. X. Allen, and M. ().
Galloway felt when the prize bull they had
planned to buy got boosted in price to the
tune of $25,000.
But who knows the calf they purchased
sirc-d by this famous Hereford bull may not
be dependent on his ancestral chart for his
high standard, but may make a name of his
own. Just give him time and plenty of Hay
wood's green pastures and the vintage of the
full silos of our farms, and he may even sur
pass his sire. At any rate we know the-n-three
men are good pickers and we are count
ing on this new addition to the Herefurds in
Haywood to be a high rater.
Wildlife Conservation
There is a growing interest on the part of
the public to conserve the natural resources
and the wildlife in their community. W'e
note with interest the program that will be
inaugurated by the newly formed group of
fishermen and hunters in Haywood county.
We also note with special interest that the
farmers of the county are invited to Up nn-et-ings
of the organization and we und"rstand
may maintain membership in the organiza
tions at a reduced rate. It was well for the
sportsmen and the farmers to get together
on these things. Often in the past then
has been much hard feeling toward "tres
passers" who have hunted and fished on the
property of others.
We trust in their drive for members that
they obtain a large membership and that
they are successful in furthering education
along the lines of conservation in Haywood
county.
Easter, 1946
While we are deep in the throes of trying
to establish a world peace on a foundation
that will never rock with war again, amidst
a world of chaotic conditions, with millions
starving we need to pause this Easter and
ask not only the power of individual resurrec
tion, but also the resurrection of nations
That we might learn more of Him and His
.lessons is the great need of this trying hour.
We know that nations need armies, that we
need defense, but we must not lose sight of
the need and the value of the things of the
spirit.
If we could learn to follow in His footsteps
And know the power of the resurrection,
rather han put all our faith in the strength
.f armed forces, perhaps the world would
-need less of military organizations.
JLa we seek security from another war it
would be wise to cultivate as individuals and
nations the things of the spirit and glorify
His promise of the Resurrection, rather than
put ell our strength in a means of continuing
war-

thought by the report from their recent
meeting. They made some timely suggestions
regarding local affairs, and it is to be hoped
that the town authorities take the hint and
see that some of their ideas are put into
effect.
We are glad to note that the Town Hall is
going to have a coat of paint. We heartily
agree with the merchants, ' that while the
town shotdd be responsible for certain proj
ects in an effort to keep the streets clean,
that the individual property owner must not
n ly on the town alone to keep his property
clean, but must do" his part.
W'e also noted with interest and concern
the suggestions about traffic and parking.
These offer serious problems. Main street
was not built for cars, and yet it would be a
grave matter to widen the street at this
stage, so other precautions must be taken.,
u were happy to note that the vote to
close on Wednesday afternoon, and likewise
to have some means of the tourist securing
gasoline in passing through Waynesville on
Sunday, as well as access to the services of a
drug store. These hours need not interfere
with any church service, and those who are in
the drug and gas business could alternate so
that the few hours on Sunday would not be a
hardship on any one.
Were we off the beaten path of heavy
travel it would be another story, but it only
seems the courteous thing to do to offer these
small services to those passing through our
town, as they will be in great numbers this
summer, according to all reports.

Hunger
It is difficult with the high drama of the
war over for Americans generally speaking
to realize while we are living in the land of
plenty that millions of other people are suffer
ing the pangs and ill effects of hunger.
When we are asked to save and share our
food with others, with those whose homes
were battle fields, who have not had time to
build back, it is a sacred obligation that we
cannot refuse to assume.
We often speak of readjustment and con
version in this country, and we are having
headaches, but what are they as compared
to the nations that are having to start from
scratch to build back and readjust themselves
during a period of want and starvation?
The ministers of the county are calling
upon us to make contributions of food, to do
our part to help feed the world. What are a
few cans of food in our lives? Yet on the
other hand think what thev might mean to
those on the other side of the world.
The agricultural leaders are asking us to
help them carry forward the national pro
gram of conserving foods, of eating more
vegetables, and less fats and wheat. They
are putting on an intensj campaign. Can
we refuse to do our part? If we feel that it ;
will be too much bother, and if we can get!
the things, we will disregard the call for aid j
for others, we are not worthy of the price j
of victory.

I As a faithful reader of Eleanor
Roosevelt's "My Day," we have
often wanted to compete with her
on one of her crowded schedules
that is, in coverage of a strenuous
routine. Take for instance last
Saturday. Of course we made no
cross country trips by plane, and
yet if the gestures made in the
process of coverage on the ironing
board were put end to end, we
might have found ourselves far
from home. We had dedicated the
day to the noble and seasonable
cause of "Spring cleaning." Wo
had two helpers and we had to
make the most of time. Our day
started at (ilit). When we were
taking down the curtains, heavily
laden with the by-product of the
winter's fuel Dust, one of the
helpers said she never did like to
wash and iron. The other volun
teered that she could wash a Utile
but slie was not good at ironing.
So there we wen-. Those curtains
had to be washed, ironed and hung
on Saturday. It was obvious that
we had our assignment in the proj
ect. Along about 8:80 in the eve
ning when we were on the last
curtain, delayed by pinch hitting
on all the jobs during the day, we
had a vague feeling that we had
an engagement for Saturday night.
VVc- knew we had promised to go
somewhere. Then we remembered,
Mrs. D. .J. Tsivoglou, manager of
the Youth Club, had asked us to
come and see the club "in action."
What a heck of a lime to view
a Youth Club after washing, iron
ing, stretching and hanging four
teen curtains. If one had .sympathy
for youth and its problems it would
naturally be at low ebb after such
a day.. But as we pulled the cord
of our iron out of the socket for
the last time, we decided that last
curtain would have to wail to.be
hung, for "youth must have its
day." As we climbed those 33 steps
to the youth club room, next, door
to the Chamber id' Commerce, over
the building housing the First
National Hank for a few months,
and heard I he jay strains from
a jute box, we thought how could
anyone possibly cilmb those stairs
to listen to such al any age. That
was before we opened the door.
Hearing a jute box is one thing
and seeing a jute box sourrounded
by youth are two different proposi
tions. The minute we saw those
boys and girls we completely for
got the strenuous day we bad sur
vived, We had a terrific nostalgia.
We longed to turn back the calen
dar and grab our family out of
college and have them bark in high
school. As we listened to that

of the evening, 7.3 were present.

thing about high school age that
is fascinating that is if you like
children and we pity you if you
don't.
You know the funny thing about
youth of that age is that they so
often feel that older people do not
understand them al all. They feel
a bit superior in growing up at a
more advanced stage of civilization.
It is a common trait of each gen
eration, we feel quile sure. When
in reality there is only the differ
ence of social customs, for under
neath youth continues to have the
same impulses and instincts. Then
on the other hand, boys and girls,
let me give you a tip. Don't ever
forget that while the older ones
may frown on you, deep in their
hearts, they are envying you, your
very youth, Mint they may ie up

precious. It is true, you are young
but once, that is young, in the
sense that the teen age feel. Don't
get us wrong, life is good all along

something all your own. Keep
your memories sweet of those
years That is up to you.

how few places there were to sit.
We found ourselves very comfort
able on one of the Chamber of
Commerce green benches. Then as
the evening wore on, we realized
that they did not need seats, for
practically no one sat. They were
up doing things. In fact it was
amazing how much orderly confu
sion there was, for everything was
under perfect control.
Which brings us to Mrs. Tsivog
lou, manager. She is from Chicago,
sister of Mrs. W. If. V. Millar, and
has worked with young people in
Chicago and Minneapolis. This is
an old story to her managing
youth. She is known affectionately
to the boys and girls as "Miss

to you with the most Haltering
concentration and 1 ho next thing
you know, you hour her soft voice
lifted and you hear her clear across
the room, "no, thai is not allowed,"
and then she returns to her con

had happened, and things move on.
Her word is law in the Youth Club,
and yet she is beloved by all its
members.

THE OLD HOME TOWN
Foreign Wool
For some years now, mills in this
country have been making more and
more use of foreign grown wool. Ten
to 15 years ago, only about 10 per
cent of the wool they used came
from abroad. But even before the
war, our mills were getting more
of their wool from foreign countries.
And during the war years, an aver
age of about 45 per cent of the wool
United States mills needed was
supplied from abroad.

were looking over the town to see
what had happened in their ab

played the jute box pealed forth
"Down Yonder" and the couples
got organized for a square dnnce.
Then this was followed by some
jitterbug numbers. At all times
there were girls out on the floor
doing some fancy steps, experi
menting. Mrs. Leo Martel was in
charge of the register and the
candy table.
We enjoyed watching the girls,
some in sweaters, some in fancy
skirts and blouses. We noticed one
young thing especially in a while
blouse with a full skirt trimmed in
a full ruffle, who seemed to be
mighty popular as a dance partner.
New comers arriving were greeted
with welcomes. Everybody seemed
