North cimuu A5SOCIAX1 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 191G One Killed - Five Injured The above title is a sad story to report in a community of thi.j !'.ize lor its traffic report over tint' brief week-end or to be more exact durin;,' a two-hour period on Saturday night, "An automobile driven by a careless or heedless individual is just as deadly as the ordinary bomb dropped on the -enemy," says Paul I.. Aberiiethy, president of the North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association. For it is claimed that the majority of high way deaths can be laid at the door of either carelessness or heedlessness. The results of nation-wide police oheck-up of motor vehicles conducted under the auspices of the International Association of Chiefs of Police and participated in by motor vehicle departments of all states, indicates that from a third to one-half of all automo lilt;s currently in use have some obvious mechanical defects. You may recall the large number of cars stopped and cheeked here in Haywood county by the state highway patrolmen during the testing period. You may recall the large number bavin" defective lights as reported by Patrolman C). R. Roberts, which with night driving invite accidents. In the national report made up of the re ports from all the states there was one para graph which should make us all stop and take notice. It was: "Except in a few instances of reported shortages of automotive parts, all these de fects are the direct result of driver neglig ence." This would prove that we cannot hide be hind the alibi of material shortages, as de fense against the charge of operating a dan gerous vehicle, iiwt only to ourselves but to others. Getting very personal . . . "When- did you get your car checked?" We direct this ques tion in the name of safety on our HaywoKl highways to every resident of the county. Who Has The Meat? It is funny about the meat situation for it has become a national guessing game, "Meat, who's got the meat?" The Democrats say the Republicans have, and the Republicans claim that it is poor management on the part of the Democrats that has brought us to such a meatless state. Some people, right here in our own county have been heard to turn a suspicious eye to ward the wholesaler, feeling that he is hoard ing it up to the bigger price day. But there is one thing, no one can point an accusing finger at the co. timers, for they know they do not have the meat. (At least none of us would admit it). We read this week that Roy L. Thompson, chairman of the Price Decontrol board, says that the three reasons you and I are not getting the quantities of meat we would like are: The storing of great quantities of meat in deep-freezer lockers during the ' price holi day." The storing of large supplies by public eating houses during the same period. The rushing -te market during that time of every animal ready for slaughter and some that were not before price ceilings should be reimposed, thus leaving on the hoof today little that is ready for sale. We know that the last rush of cattle was noticeable right here in Haywood county, so for this reason we also are bound to feel that there is meat somewhere. The trouble must be along the lines of distribution. Where the meat was stalled, we can't say. Newspapers Newspapers are what people say there's nothing in but raise the very dickens when they don't get them. Newspapers are delivered by boys who i ride their bicycles across your favorite i flower bed and throw the paper just far enough from the front stoop to make you J come out in your pajamas to get it. News paper carriers are all alike in that they j come to collect either when you have no change or are just getting into the bathtub. ' Newspapers of course can be bought from I venders who yell even louder than their j headlines but who prove that the spoken woi'd is much less understandable than the 1 written. j Newspapers are frequently accused of j conducting a smear campaign, but they posi tively do not except when you take it upon! yourself to read them spread out across linen j trousers or a light skirt. Newspapers are no meteorologist; they j merely .give the weather man's prediction. ; They do, however, show which way the' vind's blowing when Ihey are left on the porch hi the lawn, particularly in March. Newspapeis nevci give those who work on tlnin a chance to alibi; theii errors are right there m black and white, save when there is color printing and then the boss is the first one to see red. No one need;, to be told that a reporter is supposed to havei a nose for news; any lapse, of course, is! immediately reflected by a cold in the head line. People who insist that newspapers print only bad news still would think it mighty peculiar if si.able type proclaimed that the John Smith's were not getting a divorce, that Bill Jones did not beat up bis wife and that Sam Brown had no case in police court! this morning. Even if such news might be; good for the public, it certainly would be bndj for editors. One of the biggest troubles about news-; papers is getting the page or section you : wish in the family grab; and after the paper; has once been scattered over the house you, might just as well try putting Humpty-i Dumpty together again. The page from; which you wished to clip something to send' to John is always missing, Wives do try to-j see that husbands get their morning paper' to read at breakfast, if they're sufficiently absorbed they may not even notice that the toast is burned or the eggs are overly hard: If you think nobody reads the n. wspapers, just try advertising juicy steaks .or a house for rent over your street address or telephone number.

How Mr. Siler could achieve j such seasoning.and.deliciousness in such mass ! production is onjy -the result of the highest j art of cooking. J Those two long lines which formed across the grounds leading to the r.f.and where -the barbecue was served were made up not -only of hungry, but expectant people, and they were not disappointed, except perhaps the last who did not. get any Pet ice cream. The food was excellent and was served with surprising order and speediness consid ering the hundreds in line. "Never have I seen such god food served in such mass quantities. Everything about the plate . given us was delicious," said L. I. Case, well known member of the tafif .of the State Extension service, who is often a Hay wood visitor in 'his line of duty. Rufus Siler along with making a name for himself as an artist of high order is also bringing fame to the hospitality of Haywood : county. Every visitor who is lucky enough ' to eat some of his barbecue goes forth to j spread the news and we tag with Mr. Siler ih ' sharing some of the reflected glory.

THE OLD HOME TOWN Too Soon Lately there have been a lot of stories com ing out of Washington about reviving all the formal receptions, and "taking glamor out of the mothballs" in which the war automatic ally packed it. Now of course maybe here in our own small rural community, where we are not a part of that great social center, maybe we are not fair judges. But at least we vote here and after all do a good deal toward making the wheels go around in Washington. We think they might wait about starting back to prewar social whirls until the world is a little more settled. The situation is a bit like a widow starting courting before she gets off her mourning garb.
