SSOCIATION Tl'ESDAY. OCTOBER. 21, 1947 A Big Aid To Traffic Tins week when the two new traffic lights to up m Waynesville will be an occasion for deserved rejoicing, because no one project has been discussed more in Waynesville than these signal lights. One light will go up at the intersection of Depot street and Branner Avenue, a four w;iy intersection that has long been recog nized as dangerous. The other will be in East Waynesville in front of Pet Dairy Prod ucts company, a three-way intersection. It would be hard to find two more danger ous points than these, and the traffic lights should do much towards regulating safer din ing throughout the'area. "You Do It" This week is known as "National Bible Week," which takes its place along with sev eral hundred other "special weeks." There's a lot that could be said about "Na tional Bible Week," but it would perhaps be just like so many other weeks, only interest ing those nearest to the subject. If everyone would study their Bible daily, adhere to its teachings, there would not have to be "National Bible Week." Neither would we have a lot of problems which confront the world today. We are not foolish enough to think every one will do just that, so here we go, right along with the American trend of thought nd say it's a good idea you do it. A Dangerous Spot The persons charged with erecting safety signs and guard rails along our state high ways have neglected to perform their duty at one of the most dangerous points in the entire system at the intersection of Highway No. 276 the Pisgah Motor road, and Park way at. Wagon Rpad 9ap. Approaching ffom the Brevard side, the highway suddenly "disappears" into thin air as it makes a 90-degree turn to the left. The drop is several hundred feet down the side of the mountain, and no warning sign or guard rail in sight. Travel over the route is steadily increas ing, and the expense of placing adequate pro tection on the spot would be inexpensive as compared to what might easily happen to some motorist going over the bank. Good Advice, But Several years ago Henderson county farm ers started growing snap beans, and met with such success that acreage increased until this past season some 5,000 acres were in beans. Some farmers even got in several crops of beans. The prices did not hold up as well as ex pected on the bean market this past season, and now the county agent there is asking for a voluntary reduction of at least 25 per cent in bean acreage. The Tribune, in Hendersonville, points out that the small grower who hit the market with his crop when prices were low does not need the reduction advice, but should work out planting schedules to get on the market when high prices prevail. The average business man and farmer feels that he can afford to take a chance in hitting the high market, and from the experience we have seen from voluntary curtailments, we expect just about as many acres will be de voted to beans next year in Henderson as this, past year. It is. just part of the American system to "take a chance." It Pays To Be Courteous Coui isy is politeness combined with kind ness. It is an attitude of mind and an ex pression of judgment. It is reasoned thought fulness. It is not essentially inherent in life. It is an acquired and cultivated trait. It is a trait which anyone may acquire through will and effort. It is available to the educated and uneducated, the rich and the poor. Com mon courtesy pays big dividends in personal satisfaction, and brings other rewards. Courtesy is expressed in words, attitudes, conduct and good deeds. It may be in the tone of voice, a greeting, a thank you, or the placing of a chair. It is made up of many lit tle every-day kindnesses, rather than in some big display. Courtesy pays in many ways. It pays in business. The genuinely courteous salesman brings trade. The courteous agent sells tick ets. The writer goes invariably to a certain ticket agent when contemplating a trip be cause he is the essence of courtesy. The courteous person makes friends, one of the greatest assets of life. He commands respect and invites courtesy in return. lo him who is courteous, courtesy will be shown. One of the greatest recommendations one may write of one is, he is a very courteous person. Selected. DIPLOMATIC art iTff-rtnt; mr'iM ' POLIO" SEASON Where's Civic Pride? We shout a chorus of loud amens to the editorial in the Greensboro News, in a dis cussion of the need of an active zoning and planning commission for every town and community. We have discussed this subject many times before, and in our opinion, it is one of the greatest needs confronting this community today. The editorial in the News read as follows: "A word to the wise, when the time is ripe, may be sufficient. Anyway we noted recent ly in the Hickory Record that Dr. Harry D. Althouse, Hickory minister, made a talk to the Rotary club on the things which make a city beautiful. Dr. Althouse didn't find any new ingredients and didn't need to. He enu merated 'trees, green lawns, flowers, cleanli ness and friendliness.' But the emphasis was on trees. "Ordinarily such a speech is a dud, but this one struck fire. In Hickory a 'beautification committee' was appointed to carry out a long range program. Repercussions extended as far as Shelby in which the. Shelby Star urged Shelby citizens to go an do likewise. "It must be that the time is ripe. North Carolina towns and cities are growing fast now. Their development can be either ugly or beautiful; one costs about as much as the other. But there is a lot of difference in long-range comfort and civic pride. "Trees, or their absence, can do perhaps more than anything else to make or ruin "a town's looks. Some utilities commit mayhem on trees near their right-of-way without a second thought. Some street commission ers are allergic to trees and will cut them down when nobody is looking unless re strained by law or violence. We are about to come around to the conclusion that men and women should be allowed to protect their trees as they would their honor under an un written law, or that arboricide should be made a high crime. "Every North Carolina town no matter how small should have a zoning and plan ning ordinance and a planning committee re sponsiblefor preserving the good looks of the towri and actively engaged in bettering them. "There is simply no excuse for towns in New England and Canada, for example, being far better looking than towns in this part of the country, when you think of what we can grow and what they can't. "It's merely a question of whether civic pride will take advantage of opportunities offered by nature." j MIRROR OF YOUR MIND 1 I'd; 1 ar-i . I. t " :. ., . - uid Is age difference important between married people? Answer: Not always, at any jlfT'l rate. The mental difference be tween 25 and 40, for example, may be nearly negligible. But be ing of voting age or twice that does not make a person emotion ally mature, and to choose a part ner outside your own generation suggests an unconscious motive like the fear of being dominated by a woman, which may lead a man to pick a woman many years his junior. At the same time if two people vary from the average in ways that harmonize with each other's, they may be happy.

While we may feel the urge to complain about the rain that re lentlessly pushed the vivid leaves off the trees, we have only to read the newspaper reports about the damage being done by hur ricanes to realize how very blessed we are to be up here where nothing more serious than wet feet interferes with our regular routine of everyday liv ing.

TOxAuu Our Foreign Traffic The highway department recently made a survey of the cars on principal roadin Bun combe county and found that 84 per cent bore North Carolina tags, and slightly over 3 per cent were from Florida. South Carolina and Tennessee had 2 per cent and Georgia and Ohio 1 per cent. Only four states in the union were not rep resented in the count. These were North Da kota, Utah, Vermont and Wyoming. The count included over 33,000 cars from July 9 to August 4. This is indicative of the traffic throughout the area during that time of year. Broken down into the number of cars, the record showed: Florida 1,078; South Carolina 843; Tennessee 59; Georgia 4.44, and Ohio 345. People don't hate a chronic liar.

SOCIAL LIST TELLS WASHINGTONIANS HOW TO HE POLITE By JANE EADS WASHINGTON Besides telling hostesses who in Capital life is a bigger big-wig than whom, the So cial List of Washington tells folks how to get the correct time, how to address a chummy note to the President and "on" whom to leave calling (aids. Mrs. Carolyn Hagner Shaw, pub lisher of the list, says she thinks Washington is going to have a bril liant season, with hostesses get ting bark to the real grandeur and class of pi e-war years and Cabinet ladies and ambassadors' wives hav ing days at home and papas and mammas spending lots of money to introduce their darlings to so ciety. . Mrs. Shaw says she will give assistance to subscribers about 2,500 pay $10 for the book with problems relative to precedence and social procedure. Mrs. Shaw tells you in the book that in addressing a personal note to the President you write: "My Dear Mr. President." In speaking you say "Mr. Presi dent." In addressing the President and his wife you write "The President and Mrs. Truman." (Continued on Page Three) Ed Boone: "I don't think they will vole liauor in Asheville. But if they do it would increase drink ing in the city and surrounding area temporarily, as has happened in other places that installed ABC stores, then fall off after people be came used to them. The Asheville store would take away money from Haywood, much of which goes to our moonshine makers." Tony Davis: "They would take money out of the county and in crease bootlegging here." Ed Bright: "I don't believe would be any worse than it is now Those who want liquor can get it.' Ned Moody: "I think they would be a good thing in the long run here as well as in Asheville. Hugh Nolaod: The ABC sys- tern is th only way to control liquor, although if there was any way of eliminating liquor altogeth er I would he for it."

Looking Back Over The Years 5 YEARS AGO Haywood must gather four times as much scrap in the next five days as has been gathered together in the past 15 if the goal is reached. A carload of Hereford calves were brought into the county this week by R. V. Welch and George A. Brown, Jr. Rev. S. R. Crockett was installed as pastor of the Hazelwood and Bethel Prcsbyterijn churches on Sunday night. Seventy-five men, making up the October quota under the selective service system, will leave for ex aminations at Camp Croft. The Baptists will observe mis sion week with three outstanding missionaries from foreign fields participating. The Boosters club of Hazelwood entertained the teachers of the Hazelwood school last Thursday night at a supper meeting. 10 YEARS AGO Indians might take action on Parkway matter Council now in session might make alternate pro posal after turning down Soco route.
