NATIONAL DITORIAL HjjuLiH i ivj rN in in 111lV.rA.V FRIDAY. .MAY 28. 1948 A Sacred Privilege All day tomorrow. Tar Heel voters will 140 to the 1,947 polling places throughout the tate, and cast about half a million ballots lor men and women to operate and repre sent our state for the next two, four and six years. The decisions made at the polls tomorrow will be important ones, and should be made with extreme care. Conservative estimates are that there will be about 5.000 eligible voters liyht here in Haywood who will not take the trouble to cast a ballot tomorrow. Each of these 5.000 have their own reasons why they will not vote, and we know full well that no argument can be presented to them to make them change them mind, in most instances. Yet, when it is boiled down to a fine point, the privilege of the ballot is one of t'ne few things that have been left entirely up to the individual to use as he or she sees fit. You can make your decisiun and mark your bal lot in dead secrecy, and no one will ever know how you voted. You can't do that in business your books are an open record to tax inspectors and other agents of the gov ernment. The secret ballot is the last thing left where .: man can do as he pleases with it on election day. Use that privilege. Heroes Of Three Wars The American Legion is undertaking a fine piece of work in attempting to get an authen ; ;c list of all soldiers buried in this area. It is a big undertaking, and one that will inquire lots of time to get the names of the ullen heroes of the last three wars. With three wars within the past 50 years, t.iere have been several hundred soldiers re turned here and buried. We know from the i ?cords we have kept in this office during orld War II, that there were 110 men killed. Of course alj of those bodies have not vet leen returned fiere, but many have. Once the record is acquired, it should be l.ept up to date. The American Legion wants to honor these who have given their all on this Memorial Hay, Monday. It is a fitting tribute, and we leel the public will cooperate in helping them :,et an accurate and complete list of all the deceased service men. Remember The Backyard, Too The. North Carolina Federated Women's Clubs have launched a campaign to raise about $9,000 in the six western counties, and $400,000 in North Carolina for needy children in war-torn countries. Haywood has a quota of $3,304. which is a sizeable amount to be raised in view of all the other drives that have recently been staged in the state. However, the women have a record of hav ing never failed to accomplish any goal they set out to put across. When they get started and going in full swing, we have every rea son to believe they will put this campaign over with a bang. We trust they will not become so absorbed in this one campaign that they will overlook several other important matters that confront ua right here at home the need of a larger hospital, dire need of improvements in the schools', and yes, you guessed it, something drastically done to improve our textbooks. Many of our textbooks are a disgrace to the ifltelleet of this state, yet we go on, from year to year, expecting teachers to use such inade quate tools. - Many a youngster probably read with a broad grin the headline cm the front page of i the Tuesday edition of this newspaper. The headline read: 'Haywood Spinach Crop Cut 50 per cent." Or perhaps, the average youngster today, after studying vitamins and the necessity of a ureon food in the daily diet, has become reconciled to the once "fun-poked-at" spin-! ach, and enjoys it as much as'afiy food put .' before them. On the serious side, Haywood growers Buf fered a heavy financial loss in their crop of spinach, which always demands a high price ; on the market, because the type grown here! seems to have a flavor that is distinctively j all to itself. Haywood is forging ahead in the green j vegetable market, and such things as dry weather are just one of several hazards which ! fanners must face. We trust that some where along the line, there is'a break in the weather that will compensate them for their 1 losses on spinach. Going After Blue Ribbons i It looks like the boys taking agriculture at i Chde really mean to bring home some blue! nbbons from the annual fat calf show this j tall, judging from the way they have started ' out this summer. The s;roup of Clyde boys already have 17 calves in the grooming for the show. They know that an early start, and constant care of an animal i what gets the blue ribbons at the shows. Under the direction of their supervisor, R. C. Evans, we shall await with interest the outcome of these determined future farmers of the Clvde school. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND L'e it. Rambling 'Round Bits Of Human Interest News Picked Up By Members Of The Mountaineer Staff- Should children be told of a parent's former marriage? Answer: No fact which a child is likely to find out or be told by e neighbor should be kept a se cret vrom him, since discovering that you have done this will both make the matter appear more im portant and weaken his confidence in you. But the fact that Daddy had another wife, or Mother an other husband ought not to be emphasized for instance, by father's visiting his first wife's (jrave because that can only bring the child emotional confu sion and may lead him into a wide range of morbid fantasies and speculations. Are there warnings of oncom ing "alcohol addiction"?

The check revealed that 32.4 per cent of the busses cheeked traveled at speeds in ex cess of the 1' gal limit of 55 miles per hour on the Xorth Carolina highways. Second worst offenders were the tractor type trucks. Among those on which a check was made more than .'13 per cent of them traveled faster than the 45 miles per hour limit placed on that sort of vehicle. Then the regular passenger car traffic sur vey revealed that this class of vehicle ex ceeded the legal limit of 55 miles in only a comparatively infinitesimal 7.2 per cent. Thus it can be seen very easily that the ' professional drivers of heavy vehicles diffi cult to control and requiring much greater I .road space than the convcntioVial passenger car ;s the real menace of the highway if speed is any barometer for measuring safety. One would expect the professional driver who depends on his vehicle and the public's highways for a livelihood to exhibit more care and caution and display a more scrupu lous respect for traffic regulations than his brother in the smaller, lighter, more flexible vehicle who uses the highways largely as a matter of pleasure and convenience. Efforts of bus operators to maintain close and reasonably fast schedules probably is a factor m the indisputable percentage figure of speed violations. But regardless of the motivating forces the fact remains that the busses with their loads of human freight, the most precious of all cargoes, lead the parade of speed law breakers endangering the lives of. their passengers as well as those of others traveling the roadways. A careful and constant check should be kept on the speed of busses and lines guilty nf persistent violation should be required to forfeit their franchises. One or two appli cations of that penalty would doubtless result in a most meticulous observance of the state's laws. Greensboro Record. of Mrs. Jimmy Boyd and Mrs. John M. Queen. Love and labor have wrought miracles and one finds it hard to adequately express their admiration. Words in the dictionary seem unable to cope with the situ ation. Tall, stately poppies gaze upon their grandeur; erect, digni fied fox glove, snap dragons, and delphinium look down on the equally beautiful columbine.

O. Schaub of the State College Extension Service. Since corn and other grains are so vitally needed. Director Schaub says that the citi zens of this state, both rural and urban. should make a concerted effort to rid their premises of these damaging pests'. "Not only should these wasters of food and feed be killed now," he said, "but definite measures should be taken to prevent later infestations." While 100-per cent control isn't practical, certain steps can be taken to ma terially decrease the losses." It is fitting that Memorial Day should come within two days after the primary. With more than half the candidates destined to be defeated, we expect that Sunday morning will be observed by many as "Memorial Day." Whatever else may be said about Satur day's primary, it must be recorded that it created a lot of optimism. 'To date we have not seen a candidate admitting his defeat. 15 YEARS AGO Garland S.
