On- l- .il nrvvs 1'rinted it) this newspaper, aa NATIONAL CDITORIAI ASSOCIATION Prof. L. J. Robeson was perhaps one of the best known educators in Haywood county, having taught three generations. He came to Haywood when only 18 and just out of college, to teach at Crabtree. Later he taught in the Waynesville schools, then after living in Virginia and Georgia for a while, he re turned in 1918 to become superintendent of the Waynesville schools, and later served as principal until he retired. His teachings were not confinfd to the school classroom. He taught the Ven's Bible Class of the First Methodist church for many years, and exerted much influence through out the section both by his teachings and his dailv life. He was an inspiration tc students as well i as friends who sought his advice. , It was fitting thift tribute was paid to Mr. i Robeson during the Canton-Waynesville foot ball game Thursday. Practically every per- j son present had at some'time or other, either j directly or indirectly, been influenced by the teachings of the former professor. The simplicity, and the dignity of the huge crowd ! gave testimony that they respected the de- j parted Educator. j MHh Carolina fcX TUESDAY. DECEMBER 2. 1947 The Successful Festival The firs', annual Tobacco Harvest Festival was a success from every standpoint. The educational features were far above what the average person expected; the entertainment exceeded the fondest hopes of still others. The lai ue crowds drawn to every phase ot the program testified as to the interest of the public at large. Starting with the parade Friday at one and on down to the last per formance of a square dance team Saturday imht. the huge crowds were in evidence. The large number of displays of Burley in the tobacco contest exceeded the expecta tions ot the committee, and the quality of the tobacco proved the earlier predictions that Haywood's crop was of the highest qual iiv this season. The varied program, from parade, singing convention, beauty contest, string band con ti Us. the music of four school bands, and t!," square dancing gave plenty of entertain ment. The outstanding speakers brought here lo.' the program gave their listeners some tl ng to think about. The program was a success from every standpoint, and the weather was ideal. The v i nd was a little sharp for the parade, but moderation later gave the festival ideal v. i ather. The committees in charge of staging the event spent manv hours of hard work carry in.; out the hundreds of details which are ei. .(jived in staging such a far-flung program. Ti.e event was headed by Wayne Corpening, and sponsored by the Merchants Association. lv ervone did a fine job. and we feel that the su cessful festival was well worth all the ef t put forth to stage it. We are happy to know that plans for even a larger and better 1- tival next year are alreadv underwav. A Fine Parade The parade staged here Friday afternoon was the best that has been seen in Waynes ville in many years. In fact, it was on a par v.ith parades staged in larger towns. The four bands, and the floats were excellent. The thousands of people who lined the sidewalks to view the parade were well paid for their efforts. Parades don't just happen. It takes a lot of careful planning, and direction to get a parade to move along smoothly. Those in charge of this parade are to be congratulated for doing a fine job. A Capable Chairman The selection of W. A. Bradley as chair man of the committee to formulate and exe cute a recreational program for this com munity was a wise one. Mr. Bradley is an organizer, and one who will see any project through. He has demon strated this on numerous occasions. As chair man of the band committee he has raised money for the band, and has seen to it that the band program was constantly before the people. The proposed recreational program for this community is a large task. As we have said before, it is an undertaking that is going to take lots of careful study and planning. The . program is just more than starting a recrea tional center, it also envolves the continua- - tion of a full-time program, and that calls for lots of money each year. We have all the confidence in the world in Mr. Bradley, and know he will select co workers who will labor with him to carry the program on to satisfactory completion. 1M' MM 'l r C T'"' (' MIRROR OF YOUR MIND CEMBER Southbound Several weeks ago, a large number of ducks and geese stopped at Lake Junaluska on their annual trek south. According to our information, this was the largest number of water-fowls ever to stop off at the Lake. This just gives us an idea that perhaps we could arrange some inducement to get south bound tourists to stop off in the community j for several days. At least the plan is logical, and would not take too much to give it a trial.

As a friendly Great Dane now back at Indianapolis can tell the world, what plenty of folks need at this particular point in time is to be let off the leash and fed some hamburger. The above editorial was published in The New York Hearld Tribune, and we felt was a fitting fore-thought in mentioning what the Waynesville Rotary Club has done in buying and pipping food to hungry and could we say '"scared" Europe? The club had first-hand information as to the conditions in Europe, and in a short while gave from their own pockets more than $300 and bought the food and shipped it overseas. Other groups and individuals throughout the nation are buying and shipping food in. addition to what is being handled through governmental agencies.

The project was started in 1935 by Dr. Paul S. Jacobsen, chairman of the political science department and professor at Colgate, who felt that by using the national govern ment as a laboratory more reality could be brought to the study of government. "There was a feeling among Col gate's political scientists that the average college was not getting across to many the essential story of how our government is organ ized and how it works." says Dr. Jacobsen.

He is getting a lot bf pub licity and backing, and it looks like if lie wants to run he'll get the chance." Walter Crawford: "Neither of the generals are politicians, and the public slill reinumbers how bad an administration Gen. Grant had when he became president after the Civil War. I don't think who ever the Republicans nominate has a chance against Truman." Looking Back Over The Years Another Fdt Calf Last week a FFA boy in Pittsburg sold his . 040-pound fat calf for $3 per pound, for a total of $5,200. The extra priees paid to young growers seems to be characteristic with busi ness men over the nation. Several weeks ago here in Haywood, Ted Francis received $1 per pound for his 900 pound prize calf, Tony. A Direct Hit Governor Cherry did not say what specific project he had in mind when he recently said: "the trouble with short cuts to security is they generally end up In dead end streets. They leave everyone worse off than before." The governor prefaced his remarks with the statement that "history has not establish ed that permenant prosperity can be pro vided by any political manipulation of an economic system." Looks like a straight blow to the chin of New Deal policies. a YEARS AGO War-time state license tags went on sale at the Western Auto Store here Tuesday.
