Wp doubt if any show, outside a cattle show, would have attracted as many people as did the (loj show. There is sonn-l hiti.r about :i j-rood dojr that generates interest on tht1 part of the average person. There is every reason to believe that this will become an annual event, and jiivhv larger each war. -luna- More Good Programs The nrouram committee of the Lai luska Assembly no sooner jjets off one tfood series of programs than they 'ive the public another that reaches to new heights of at tainment. Recently a musical series that surpassed anything' except "big town stuff" was pre sented, and during: the past ten days some of the nation's best known men who think for themselves have occupied the platform. This newspaper fully appreciates the cali bre of programs being' presented, am that the public at large is beginning to i the "wide field of subjects being cove ret I by Juiialuska programs. Good Carolina News One of the best item , o North ( aroima ni'us recently published was the disclosure that a sbi.Pio.'toti program of general hos pital building and expansion awaits only such improvement in conditions in the construc tion field as w ill make it possible to proceed. That is important news not only for the V!S conimiinit ies direct ly involved but also for the State as a whole. The investment of more than Sl:l million in expansion of the general hospital facilities of .North Carolina will represent a substantial advance toward the goal of making hospital unliable to and within convenient til the people of tile State a .'lirl which all citizens -honlil desire to see reacle d at the earliest dale practical. It is to be noted, of c (, that the 1il.".IMMI program is merely the aggregate of individual movements in 'JS different com munities for new hospitals and expanded hospital facilities and is not the result of any organized state-wide movement, and that it does not include any State institutions or St ate-financed project . ( 'harlot te ( Ibserver. I.'icillt ies reach of Mixing Helps Both Past week one hundred farmers from Hay wood county, who "live at home and board at the same place," paid a visit to fanners of Penoir County. Thus Past and West and the best of both - talked crops, exchanged views, and each found much that was valu able in the exchange. Conducting a delight ful visit, the Haywood county farmers told those from Penoir that "the agriculture pro gram would bo perfect if the idle lanil were utilized ill a livestock program." That was sound adviie. When the farmers of Penoir make a return i visit to the prosperous and progressive L'oun- -t,(.jty of the mountains undoubtedly they will jv,,lbe able to give their hosts some advice as good as thev received. It is a good thing Reuben B. Robertson The elevation of Keubell II. Robertson to the presidency of The Champion Paper and fibre Company did not come as a surprise to those who know this great industrial leader. Mr. Robertson has contributed much to he economic and social welfare of this state by his far-sighted business practices. We are indeed fortunate to have men such as Mr. Robertson to head our industries in this an a. because we know that his first thought is the welfare of those who are associated with him. We share with Champion the happiness of seeing their "chief get the nlace h" so right fully deserves in the organization. for farmers of the land to mix and exchange experiences. ".Mixin' larns both." to quote what an illiterate but smart mountaineer guide said to an eminent Harvard ideologist. The mountaineer, who knew rocks and hills, piloted t lie eminent geologist for several summer-;. When the doctor was saving good bye, he said to his guide, philosopher and friend of the hills, that he thought the com ing of geologists from Harvard would be good for North Carolinians. The mountaineer replied. "Yes, mixin larns both." Raleigh News and Observer. Striking Back Partners In Pacific The understanding born at Pataan must not be permitted to die. Partnership in th" Pacific, between America and the Philippines, may yet be the means of maintaining l!v spirit of good will on a world pattern, with out 'Which no nation can be sure of survival, says Carlos P. Romulo. citizen of the Philip pines in his book "I See the Philippines Rise." The author further points out that IS mil lion . Filipinos, by uniting: in the delaying actioii that gave democracy its chance to survive in the Far East, established firmly in Asia the beachhead of Democracy! Amer ica is the power and the glory, he claims. As a result of the present foundation in the Philippines, the writer says "the future' j is sel upon which we can build if we are suf ficiently wise, an edifice strong enough to hdld the dreams of all men. The passion for freedom held us together at Bataan. It led tis through ruin to victory. We. of the Philippines, must now face in our effort to' the pocketbook. It is said that "the red ink High costs, due to strikes are said to be now beginning to plague labor unions. For th-1 union leaders like managements in indus try are discovering that strike- ;. Tease operat ing expenses and decrease incomes. The result is that some of the unions are financially embarrassed, 'flu- recruiting of new members is fast becoming a big business. Strikes are reported to be very expensive. As the govcrnm ml often plays the role of authority in deciding issues in strikes, and unions are spending a great deal of money on advert ising and pamphlets to urge the public to put pressure mi the government officials, the costs are high. The income of unions to offset these rising costs has been at the same time on down grade. The union membership in some cases refused to permit increases in dues, but in many cases advances of as much as ")() per cent were placed in the effort to make ends meet. Even with such raises some unions have remained hard up. Union members on strikes are exempted from dues. This has meant a tremendous loss. Thus when one gets a view of the whole picture, it shows that strikes have hit the union, the worker and the employer right in ; rise &s an independent nation, that faith in j, freedom will continue to hold us to America and the American way." 4 . This expression by one of the Filipino writers sounds an encouraging note, for we I have found that we must have partners out J in the Pacific, and it is also gratifying to tj learn that the people of the Islands look to J our American pattern of life.
