A Deplorable Situation When ;( strand jury nuikes a report, which says in part . . . "The Bethel school is a dis ..race ti the :;real citizenry of Haywood cumitv." then there is time t hat something be d'.ne ubout the situation, and dune quickly. The urarul jury made an honest, yet rather constiA ati e. report on conditions of public Luildinys in Haywood. We use the word con servative, because they did not o all out and condemn every little tiling, but threw the spotlight on the major and urgent needs. The urand jury has presented to the peo ple a true picture of conditions of school buildings. Of course patrons of each school knew about their respective buildings, but not about the county as a whole. We cio not know what will be done about improving conditions in the schools, but when the ijrand jury goes so far as to say "The Spring Hill school is a fire hazard, and has no modern conveniences . . . recommend a new and larger school &e built immediately," then it is time that the wheels get to turning. It is not reasonable to even think of send ing children to school in a building that is a recognized fire hazard. Haywood is a progressive county, far too progressive to let conditions as this exist, or in the words of Judge Alley, "a deplorable situation.'' This newspaper feels that if the conditions are not improved, that it would be better that schools be closed until the proper improve ments are made throughout the entire sys tem. A blunt, broad statement, but some thing that would bring immediate action if nothing is done in the meantime. There Ought To Be a Law. . .' '"There's a law for everything but the fel low who credits a man," one of our fellow townsmen said this week, as he checked a list of long-pasl-due accounts. "T think there should be a law whereby a man could advertise such accounts as these, just as a merchant adverliscs beans and to matoes." he continued. "I would like to sell some of these accounts for 10 cents on the dollar, some for forty, and here's one for S96 that I would take- three cents on the dollar," he said disgustedly. Perhaps the business man had something, but not many lawmakers will be prone to help put such a law on the books. Although we feel it would help collections. All businessmen are not as fortunate as the photographer who made a man's picture, and for his work received a bad check. The enterprising photographer merely, took the check, pinned it to a large photograph of the man, and underneath wrote, "This Man Gave Us This Bad Check." The display was put in the show window. Needless to say, it did not take the man long to redeem the check, and get his error removed from public view. Deserved Expansion This newspaper is elated to know that the postal officials contemplate enlarging facili ties of the Clyde post office. That office Serves a large and progressive area of Haywood, yet the facilities of the of fice have been more or less cramped for. roany, vmsiy years. W trust that nothing prevents Postmaster GtWT Harries, andL rds co-workers from be is a um large 1ofEcelfS?ptemleT 1. Last Friday marked the beginning of r?oy Scout week, an event which is observed ev ery year at this time. The official week will end for the South on TJjursday 1 is- pe riod set aside to give recognition to 1 he, Scout work in America. The Boy Scout organization is doing a lot to develop boys of today for the tasks that lie ahead. Many of our leaders today re ceived their first taste of public life and the world through Scouting. Here in Haywood we are Sco.ut-conscious, in that we are fast becoming the center, of Scouting in the summer, since Camp Daniel Boone is located out near Lake Logan, and accommodates hundreds of campers during the summer season. The greatest need in Scouting today is not potential membership, but adu.lt leadership. There are thousands of boys of. Scout age, who are interested and should be active in the Scout program. The bottleneck is lack of adequate adult leadership. Scouting is not something where a boy is put into a regulation unilorm, handed a man ual and turned loose. Every Scout must have close adult supervision and training. Without that there would be no Scoutirig. The Scout program here in Haywood, or in any other county, will go no fuyther than the adult leadership carries, it. DISC JOCKEYS CSS-?,-- tor, ;.)

Each of these requests are sound as well: as reasonable. During the past 15 years, so many regula tions governing agriculture have been made by people who were not too familiar with farming at all. Now the experienced farm ers come along with some suggestions that will help them produce better crops and ani mals, with lower overhead selling costs. If the United States is to feed a greater part of the world, then the agricultural leaders are going to have to learn that after all, it is the farmer who produces, and begin listening to his problems, and suggestions, and not just go along on theory. We look forward to the day when more of the regulations of the agriculture program will be based on experiences and practices than on theorv.

The campaign of 1 H48. ago. was explosive with Three parties were concerned The Whigs, who won. nominat ed Gen Zachary Taylor, and popu larized him a "Old Rough and Ready.' Tlu Democrats nominated Lewis Cas as " A Noi l hern Man with Southern Principles." Consistently Expanding The "Free Soil" p.irly. which later formed the basis ot the Re publican Parly ol today, had Mar tin Van Ituien as its candidate'. It used "Free Soil. 1'iei Speech. Free Labor and Free Men.' Free suil meant opposition to an exten sion of slavery in the new states. The new party's slogan was readily adapted to its candidate, John C. Fremont, in 1856 . . . "Free Soil, Free Speech, Free La bor, Free Men and Fre-mont." The Democrats, with their nominee, James Buchanan, retaliated with the first use of the phrase "Black century Republicans" and won the elee slogarrs. tion. One of the Republican slogans for the 1860 campaign, when Abraham Lincoln defeated two Democratic aspirants, Stephen A. Douglas and John C. Breckinridge, was "Vote Yourself a Farm." A Republican homestead plank prom ised aliens and natives alike prairie farms west of the Missis sippie Hist for the asking. 'The Democrats had sullered a parly split. i Jerry Kohuison: "No. Too many folks don't pav any tax at all who get the benefit of lax money. In my opinion the slate made a mis take by letting people vole with out requiring them to pay their poll tax." DeRrayda Fisher: "The poll tax gets to a class of people who don't pay property taxes, but they are reached by other types of taxation. 1 think we have enough without the pVll trftf."

They'll Do It Every Time Guardians Of Health The Health Department is to be commend ed for abolishing "C" ratings for public eatT ing places. The department went on record this weelc that they, will no.t tolerate places making such low grades, and will; just be forced to close them. The public needs every protection possi ble, and most certainly when it comes to pure foods and water. We do not believe there will be any place in Haywood that will not strive; to keep out of the "C" class, and work with the health of ficials in meeting every sanitation regulation.
