NATIONAL CDITORIAL IfMl ASSOCIATION ' Jf?nh Carolina I TL'KSD.V.W OCTOBER 28. 1947 National Apple Week This week rLiyvrood county joins with the rest ot the nation in the observance of Na tional Apple Week.. It is only fitting that we here in Haywood recognize this occasion, be cause right here in these hills are grown some of the most delieiotvs apples to be found any where. t During the past lew years. Haywood has :x?en a little lax m advertising the apple crop. The market has been good and eager buyers were on hand before the crop was harvested haul them to market. A score or more ears ago. Haywood's reputation for growing i ehcious apples was known far and wide. Apples from here even received distinguished o vards in foreign apple shows as well as in x.ll parts of the nation. Our neighboring county, just across Pis-i-.ih, Henderson, realized last spring that something must be done to attract buyers to their orchards, so they successful staged an A iple Blossom Festival as one -means of get irig national publicity focused on their ap ple crop. Here in Haywood this week, merchants and oiiier business places are displaying Haywood own apples. One grower lamented last week that the iam and wind of two days blew some 1,500 U shels of choice apples from the trees, but 11. Te was no question whether there would hi a market for them, since truckers did not m m interested this year in hauling fruit to tl. market. The better grades of hand-picked 1 pies have found a ready market from the U ginning of the season. Haywood needs to get busy and regain the ;t inding in the apple world which we once )i..d. We still have the quality of apples, we si.ll have an abundance of fruit, and capable o ners of orchards. All we need is to exert a little;. eneiy, h the right channels to re gain the distinction which is rightfully ours. Autumn Mirage Spring we may welcome more heartily. Vptumn we are the fnore loathe to let go. The days, shortened by early twilight, be come yet more precious, as do most things when demand begins to exceed supply. Over our autumns impends always that feeling of imminent departure. Autumn is like a short sojourn in some far and lovely land. From every peak we climb, from every , tower of momentary delight, from every win- dow looking on the year's sunset we can see : in the darkening harbor the shadow of a great ship. It is a vessel built for long and arduous traveling through work-a-day oceans i back to a work-a-day world. No other season builds this strange mir age. Winter, spring, summer, lead each to the very doorstep of the other. Only from the edge of autumn, standing on gold with deep purple overhead, do we look out as if on unchartered distances. Only here are we touched with the feeling that, come autumn after autumn through a long procession of years, we may not meet this moment again, or ever find this one exquisite promontory. The Christian Science Monitor. Recently a special committee was nained j in Asheville tr make a study and survey of the facilities oi Buncombe county, for the purpose of bringing in more indtit; ies. The committee has gone to work. Now comes the news from the Eastern part of the state, known as the "agriculture em pire" according to the Smithfield Herald, that the farming is not enough, they must have industries. Johnston county is one of the most progres sive and prosperous agricu.'.ure counties in the state, yet the leaders realize that as mech anized farming expands that the number of displaced farm workers will increase. A number of communities realizing the importance oi industry to ine economic sta bility of the community, are leaving no stone unturned to induce new "smokestacks" into their borders. There is another side of the picture that should not be overlooked there are some communities which have industries, yet the community as a whole do not seem to appre ciate them. That is a pathetic situation. Getting industry is one thing, and an im portant one. Helping industry after they have established in your community is an other thing, and even more important than getting them in the first place. What a black eye it is to a community to have a thriving. profitable industry leave a town. And don't think for a moment that such a thing cannot be done. Just take a look at hundreds of plans that have changed their address from New England towns and moved South. Take an example closer home. Enka is building a gigantic plant not beside the one in western North Carolina, but in Eastern Tennessee. This matter of getting and keeping indus trv deserves our attention. y moth u i MIRROR Or YOUR MIND iESCE r."- .- Can wives malt toe many sacrifice? Crime Is Crime Rambling 'Round Bits Of Human Interest News Picked Up By Members Of The Mountaineer Staff The latest silly attempt to load a heavy burden on taxpayers is for Uncle Sam or North Carolina to appropriate millions of dol lars for alcoholics on the theory that drinking too much is a disease and not a vice. We are also told that sex crimes are not crimes at all. but are caused by disease, and that stealing is not stealing but is caused by ; ...;i;uln TVi ovl tViini; i;ill dli ii i caisuuic iiiipui.1.. aih- ii-,. luu.i, ...... be to coddle murderers on the ground that it! was disease and not vice that prompted the killing. Crime is crime, and it will be increased by such maudlin excuses as are now being of fered by those who violate the "Thou shalt nots" of the Almighty., and the sound statute law to protect people from the effect of crim inal acts. Crime is crime! The Raleigh News and Observer. There is one beautiful picture in Waynesville (hat should be framed and hung in the Memory Hall of every one in Haywood county. U is the granite grey of the Courthouse with a background of .sapphire blue sky. and etched all around with the cameo-like lines of the mountains. We often wonder if the people up here really appreciate the glory of our scenic attractions. Thous ands of folk travel hundreds of miles to enjoy our foliage, yet too many of the at-homers take theirs through the front windows. It may be like the New Yorkers. They never go lo any of the attractions that visitors flock to see. Probably because they feel they will always be there . . . and they can go any time and never do! There is something so nice about meeting people who have traveled about and have so many interesting tales to tell of the different places they have been. One can learn a slant on the cities that they would never find in a travelogue. And as we hear the varied bits of information that gives us a broader understanding, we real ize how really little information we could give about our own state. So it behooves a great many of us to study North Caro lina so that when we travel about, we can tell others how we Continued on Page 2, 2nd Section No Gambling Some people have always argued that a county or state fair cannot be successfully staged without the usual carnival attractions to bring in the crowds. To offset this argument, we quote from the news columns of the Raleigh News and Ob server: "The 1947 edition of the Greater North Car olina State Fair came to an end at midnight last rjjght with officials declaring attendance records' were smashed. "Despite the worst weather in 24 years it rained every day except the last day an esti mated 300,000 Tar Heels poured through the gates to see the five-day exposition, said Dr. J. S. Dorton. Fair manager. "Featuring the final day of the event were the auto races which drew the greatest crowd ever some 20,000 who overflowed grand stand, bleachers and standing room space and took up a good part of the infield. "The most significant thing about the fair is that all those attendance records were smashed even though there was not a single gambling joint on the midway." Not So Peachy It appears that the dry forces in the city of Asheville are gaining strength as the ref erendum draws nearer if one can go by the lettergd heWcotumns of the press. " It looks like troubles never end for Gov ernor M. E. Thompson, of Georgia. Perhaps no governor in America ever had such a time getting into office as did Mr. Thompson since he had to rout Herman Talmadge from the place. And just about the time things begin to smooth over in Georgia, here comes Governor Thurmond, of South Carolina, advising the Georgian to take the words "peach state" off of Georgia license tags, forthwith. That was enough to upset the Georgia governor, yet the South Carolinian had to add to the sting by saying: "We" admit that California grows more peaches than we do, but Georgia never. And furthermore, our peaches taste better than yours." - It looks very much like everything is not so pea'chy; with the governor of Georgia. r TOadJUtto . CAPITAL HOSTESSES SHOW THEIR TALENTS IN ART WORLD By JANE EADS WASHINGTON Mine. Maria Martins, wile of the Brazilian Am bassador and one of a group of artistically talented capital host esses, is readying an exhibit of 10 new pieces of sculpturfe to be shown next month at a New York gallery. Three other Washington women, wives of men in public life, are cur rently showing products of their creative genius. Mrs. Dean Acheson. tall, attrac tive wife of the former under sec retary of state, and Mrs. Johm Wiley, Polish-born wife of our Am basador to Portugal, are jointly ex hibiting groups of paintings at the fashionable Wildenstein Galleries in Manhattan. Mrs. Geryl Garrott, wife of George Garrott, former New York newspaperman now with the State Department, is holding a solo ex hibit at the Washington public library. Mme. Martins has been dividing her time between her studio in Hie attic of the embassy here and a swank, modernistic studio she found for herself in the big city. She first exhibited her work in 1940 at the Corcoran Art Gallery here. The November show will b? Answer: Decidedly. To begin with, few of us are free enough from childish impulses to resist the chance to take advantage of a person who seems to invite such treatment, so that too "unselfish" or "self-sacrificing" wives breed selfish, inconsiderate husbands the way dampness breeds mos quitoes. Furthermore, even such wives are human at heart, so that as a rule they end by growing bit ter at their husbands failure to "appreciate" them.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Do you think the federal gov ernment should adopt a program of aid to public schools? James V. Smith: "Yes, I do. Our public schools are declining instead of progressing, one reason being the low rate of pay for teachers. I think the federal gov ernment should help support the schools." E.

But if there is a stronger man for Johnson than Bruce Etheridge, head of the De partment of Conservation and De velopment, nobody has yet found him. Bill is apparently so good that he doesn't have to go along with the winning candidate. And that is more than can be said for almost any other state appointee. Many a good man here has lost his joh because he didn't bet on a winning horse. He was for Dr. Ralph McDonald in 1936, but took over his present job under Governor Clyde It Hoey a few months later. As luck would have" it, he was for J. M Broughton in 1940. In 1944, In was for Dr. McDonald again, de spite all sorts of advice to the con trary.
