We seem to fall short in North Carolina production of grains. The wheat bran, mid dlings and scratch retpiired annually foi North Carolina poultry are equal to 12 mil lion bushels of wheat, while our li44 produc tion of wheat was silghtly less than nint million. Experts tell us that we can double our pro duction of small grains and provide food foi folks; concentrate, hay and pasture and bet ter care of soils. Now is the time as we have pointed oui before for Haywood farmers to start plan ning to sow more wheat and other small grains. Fifty Years Ihis month marks the hmeth anniversary of the automobile, and certainly marks also great transition in our way of living audi conducting business. The (iolden Jubilee marks the first sale of an automobile in the United States in the summer of 18i)). We feel sure that the automobile industry has done more to change the American way of life, broaden our horizon and enrich our lives than any other one industry. Take here in our country, the vast changes from the trials of the horse and buggy days, with the old-fashioned wagons plying our country roads coming into market as com pared to the swiftness with which our mod ern trucks haul supplies to and from distant cities. In the years since 18 we are told that there have been 90.000.000 cars and trucks produced in the United States and they have cost $64,000,000,000 billions. The U. S. Auto motive industry is said to be worth at prescr.t $4,000,000,000. There are today 52.000,000 jobs worked at in this country according to statistics, and it is estimated that out of these jobs one out of every seven is connected with the automo bile industry. There are said to be .'50.000.000 cars and trucks that are still operating despite the fact that for three and a half years the auto mobile industry was diverted to war produc tion and the civilians and private citizens have had to wait for their new cars. What the automobile has meant to Amer ica could never be estimated for it has left its impression in so many different ways. The industry has gained the gratitude of the public, desipte the fact that along with its great good it has also taken its toll on our highways. This has in most cases not been the fault of the automobile but the careless ness of the driver. The history of the automobile is a great story, one of the biggest in this country and will continue to be not only a means of public but private service that is too far reaching for us even npon contemplation, to estimate. If organized labor takes over baseball, think what a "slowdown" could do to home-' town fans support. 'Stop Nagging' We have heard much about the wonderful way in which the British took the war and how they are coming back to normal. We did not realize to what extent until we read that a circular had been sent to all conductors and motormen of London's trolly cars with this order. "Stop nagging the public, and get back to old-fashioned courtesy." We seem to be pretty slow in returning to manners in this country, so the British are still one ahead of us. We often wonder if the courtesy of pre-war days will return in general usage, or if it has passed from our way of living. We sincerely hope it will return, for it created a spirit of good will along the daily routine that nothing else can ever give. The alibi of "don't you know there is a war on," is no longer an excuse for lack of manners and common courtesy. Silent Vacuum We see where some inventor in England is on the verge of perfecting a silent vacuum, and that the advent of this silent household article will do much to give "peace in the home." That may be true. We do admit that the deadening sound of the vacuum, as it takes in the dust is not conducive to taking a nap in its operation vicinity, but to most housewives we have an idea that its sound, when it is run by someone else is a beautiful song in the house. Not that we are not heartily in favor of any thing to improve household implements of service, but it seems to us that there are a lot of things more important than tak ing the noise out of the vacuum. For in stance it could be set to run around the room and be self operating. That to our mind would be far more useful than taking the sound out. Future-Sweeter While the current situation regarding the supply of sugar, certainly locally, is not so bright, the future looks much "sweeter", that is if conditions of which we are reading are true. Florida is reported to have just com pleted its biggest sugar harvest 1,020,000 gross tons of sugar cane. This is supposed to be enough to supply every man, woman and child in America with a month's supply. With sugar crops in Cuba, Puerto Rico. Hawaii, and even the Philippine Islands, it looks like the shortage might be relieved, and that once again we will be able to use this article with the old-time lavish hand. With the luscious apples we are seeing now in our local stores, that are such inspira tion for the making of apple sauce, to say nothing of apple pie, it is an encouraging thought to dwell upon, that the future will in time give us all the sugar we want. Growing Demand "It seems a shame that I had to land my plane in another county, when you have such good fields with natural advantages right here in Haywood county," said a South Caro linian, whose family is summering at Lake Junaluska, when he came up recently for a week-end visit by plane. Me landed his plane at the field in Sylva and drove from there to the Lake. The case of the man from South Carolina is only one of many who are wishing to land right here in Haywood, but as yet we have no facilities to accommodate them. If any one doubts that Haywood citizens are not air minded they should drop over to the neighboring airport in Jackson not only during week days when the Haywood air en thusiasts are "practicing", but also on Sun days when the skies above are fiHed with planes over Jackson. The demand for an airport in Haywood county is growing by leaps and bounds. The public is demanding that we have this facil ity. It is to be hoped that every citizen will lend his or her effort to procuring this accom modation in any and every way that may be given them. We feel confident that if the citizens of this county want an airport suffi ciently it will be realized in time. What General Sherman said about war also goes for the kind of peace we've been having. The historic burning of Rome might have been worse. It is not on record that while Nero fiddled, he had to pay three of Petrillo's musicians to stand by. The question arises frequently of late, whether labor groups are striking "for their altars and their liers" or for undue advantages. Probably the man who chuckled as he heard the news of the addiction of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy was Haile Selassie of Ethiopia who could remember the time when the Italian King was proclaimed "Em peror of Ethiopia" and look at him now, a refugee in Egypt.

By his example he proved what his church meant to him by his loyal support and por ed attendance. The collection dales are not only lovely in ap leranee. hut will be put to use doi ng the years to come, as a con stant reminder of one of Hie most levout members of the church vhich we feel sure would have deased him. We would like to offer congratu ations to Mart-are) Johnston, coun ty librarian and her Cherokee In dian Heading club. There are 1(17 ,-hildren enrolled in the summer vending club. To gel the interest f that many children during the iunmior vacation is a worthy ac oinplishment, which should aid arh of Hie members in forming i he habit of reading which will prove both profitable and pleasur able as t ime goes on. We advise you, if you have not done so, lo lake off time and drop by the Chamber of Commerce and look at the pictures which you may order in enlarged forms. This is a fine service being rendered by the office and one which should ! be appreciated. The pictures are i beautiful scenic effects in (Lis area j and will do a great deal if given a place of prominence in hotels, I boarding and guest houses lo ad J vertise this section. We have two enlarged pictures of the same Hpo j here in The Mountaineer office ! and it has been surprising to note . how many people have stopped to ulmire them. No true story of recent years has to our mind been a more perfect I illustration than "(ruth is si ranger , than fiction" than the (hell of tin Hesse jewels and valuables by Col. and Captain lJuiant. We are glad that the corporal has been dropped from the picture of guilt, for we feel sure that he might have had j to bear the brunt of the crime. No best seller could have a more thrill ing or impossible plol than the real fact? in the case of I be colonel and his grasping WAC spouse. The search for the valuables and where they were finally discovered also adds high drama to the tall tale. Imagine using a 30' gold ser vice in a kitchen but that is what was found in the home of Mrs Durant's family in Wisconsin. s a citizen of the United Stales we are embarrassed for their be- WASHINGTON COP Making All-Out Bid For Elusive Labor Vote Railway and Coal Strikes May Hurt Administration Special to Central Presi 3 WASHING i UN The Republicans are making an all-out bid for the labor vote, both In the forthcoming congressional elections and for higher Ftakes two years from now when the presidential cam paign gets underway. Both the railway and the coal strikes have furnished the GOP with ammunition in Congress. Republicans lined up almost solidly behind the Case anti-strike bill, but their bucking of President Truman's proposed "draft the strikers" legislation is a mat ter of record. In that case they joined hands with such stal wart New Dealers as Senator Claude Pepper (D) of Florida. Labor experts are quick to point out that the labor vote is never solid, but varies with various mm sections, states and individuals. A'i Senator Pepper They emphasize the obvious fact that the Democratic party, which had a top-heavy ma jority under the late Franklin D. Roosevelt, has fallen more or less out of favor with the rank and file of labor. Philip Murray's CIO and Sidney Hillman's PAC are violent in their opposition to anti-strike legislation. Nevertheless, they form the nucleus of the administra tion's labor support. John L. Lewis and his United Mine Workers arc watching and waiting. If an election were held tomorrow, it is believed that they would support a liberal Republican heavily. Right n iv. organized labor is a spectator at a political circus. Both the Republican elephant and the Democratic donkey are vying in performing tricks to win labor's favor and votes. OBSERVERS IN WASHINGTON definitely expect Economic Sta bilizer Bowles to recommend restoring of food rationing in the United States this summer. Bowles reportedly feels that this must be done because of the world food situation, now worse than during the war. There appears to be a difference of opinion, however, as to whether bread should be rationed if such a program is put into effect. Chester Davis, chairman of the famine emergency committee, be lieves that it should not. There have been reports that Bowles con templated rationing controls on the staff of life. Agreement was general, though, that meat would be one of th? chief Items to be returned to the ration list if one is drawn up again. Other Item probably will be fats and oils. ' THE PUBLIC was slightly startled recently when charges of "hooliganism" were lodged against a minor official of the United States embassy in Moscow. After a dashing celebration of Red Army Day last February the official reportedly attempted to cement United States-Russian rela tions too strenuously with an actress from the Russian state theater. Her complaint brought his arrest on charges of hooliganism, which is a real charge in the Russian penal code, carrying a maxi mum jail penalty of Ave years. The word was coined In England because of the antics of nn Iri?h family named Hooligan which enlivened London with its boisterous goings-on. At the turn of the century, the term "hooliganism" became well known in the United States through the comic strips. One of the most popular funnies of the time Remember featured the doings of a tramp character named Happy Hooligan. Old Happy Hooliganism became the symbol of Irresponsible,' Hooligan? but not necessarily malicious, wrongdoing. Russia picked up the word to handle the assorted offenses com mitted after World War I by millions of homeless and disowned orphans who roamed the country disturbing the peace. The Irish had a word for It, and thejwrd got around. I It. I.. LEE "1 don't know." JAMES S. HOWELL, Jr. "No. If anything it will increase. Continued scarcity, price ceilings being lifted and increased cost of materials and wages w ill cause the increase." WAYNE WOODAKD "No, it might increase. If the price con trols are abolished, the cost of articles is bound to increase." l)lt. JOHN S.VIATHEES "No. It'll go up before it will come down. It may drop before the end of the year, but it will go higher before it drops." Iinvior matches the Nazi in their disregard of the property of others. We recently heard of on organi sation which has been perfected by voting army wives, that might well be carried over iato their civilian life, ulien they get out of the army. II is called "The Heir Corps Nurs cr" and means pooling their re sources lo fight the "baby sitter diorlage". To those of us who have lived in small towns where i here have been relatives to pinch liit on nights out, it is hard for lis to get a complete picture of the 'lelplossness of young mothers who ire- si l anded among strangers and I here is no neighbor or relative to i urn In when a "night out" is want d. The "heir corps nursery" sounds like a good bet to combat villi current problems of domestic erviee. We read this week of a hostess Abo thought she was very clever lo present as a prize at her party i loaf of bread all done up in .larty fashion and which was much lppreriated by the winner but ivlien she found out that one of her neighbors bad given as a prize a :ackage all done up in oil paper ontaining a pound of butter she lost all her cockiness over her cleverness and generosity. We bet both prize winners were quite 'iappy over what they received. Peak Employment Employment in the chemical in dustry reached a peak in Decem ber, 194.1, with a total of 123,300 employees, a 77.2 per cent increase over 10.I9. Peak employment for chemical and allied products was 745.(100 in July, 1943, a 1G6 per cent increase over 1939. Capital Lett By THOMPSON CREENWooo WALLACE Now that Wake Le gislator William Hatch has pulled out of the race in favor of F. E. (Lewi Wallace of Kinston, it begins to look as if Tom Pearsall of Rocky Mount, the only other candidate for Speaker of the '47 House left, may have hard sledding. Frank Taylor, able Wayne County solun, had contemplated making an at tempt to become speaker, but also withdrew, throwing his support to Wallace. Lew has really gone after the place and was in some counties talking to the nominees or high men on Monday following the Primary. eoinuam ''" 'i eoiimanf,.., . . -1 on lust.,,.. Whr1 "ess. Th " (;o,,l) ;u1 .. .. '4 r', '"-'"1 t: '''' make "".'"li"?rJ WAKE In deciding to pull away from the speakership, Hatch point ed to something which has been worrying Lt. Gov. L. Y. Uallenline for some time. Hatch said that, with Ballentine of Wake presiding in the Senate and Hatch of Wake presiding in the Houst.', there would be a little too mueh Wake in the Legislature. Now this will be heard again and again during the next two years. The Eastern N. C Senator. J. W. Bailey, is from Wake County, and the most outspoken candidate for Governor in 194!! is from Wake--And supporters ol Ballenline feel that this is the big gest obstacle to his becoming Gov ernor. Nobody is more cognizant of this handicap than Ballentine himself. 23 It is now only about 23 months until we will know who our next Governor will be. Al most everybody thought that Gregg Cherry would get the place two or even three years before the Primary in May of 1944 and in 1938 people were talking about llurtbn and Broughton as the prin cipal candidates in 1940. But this time the boys are more reticent. There are at least a half-dozen prospective-candidates .... but so far Ballentine is the only man who has been sufficiently interested to get out and go for it. COURT FEUDS A lot of atten tion is being paid the U. S. Su preme Court feud between Justices Jackson and Black, with the form er apparently creating most of the talk and doing most of the feud ing. As has been pointed out. feuds are nothing new on the U. S. Supreme Court and they aren't entirely unfamiliar occurences right here on our State Supreme Court. There once was talk of a pretty hefty little personal feud between Chief Justice Stacy and the late Justice Heriot Clarkson of been others. All courts composed of several Judges have a way of separating into little cliques and these cliques come as the result of kindred minds and kindred opi nions. There are three or four justices on our Supreme Court who have lunch together and so on. The lone wolf is always Stacy, who is 1 1 in is wi ii'-hit- ik men M-U.r votuu; bij UtiU M , -Med during Hie J niovint. th id s'Jn"S until S(j;llttt ""r -"Maii,, months ckipstbrt, and election in th, ThHoUM' sPal s'liiiis u.i u-riii ""the other hj "diiatr saJS (, y bal and several rj house , ias ''"" Mr h.w thmJ .ii mis particular u Hie very dJ 'II KSIUI -,.u u j hi-tirc Hlaik J, "as , Ujvhmfl searelr ' ,,n ,. roiitimei ,j , been whispers lui 'ake U. uli- r editor uf iu. qu "as at last :n,uu- l!J has retired and iiiollier-in-l:iu uiih VVriglilsvihe B.ach out ul the n-ar r ting it iinnleil !nj nig the nihil six mJ be mini her Paul U Hum cm The Nij say Wade's gulf p the best ymiIU'H n NKWSI'AI'KHS- islaliue will have i snare ul iiewspapl j them being C L mJ burg.
