Jl'NE 8. 1948 The New Alderman Felix Stovall. the new member of the Im.'ihI of aldermen, should prove to be a val u.iUc asset In the imvn administration. He has devoted much of his time to the workings of the tire department here, and knows the needs of the department. He has tin information as gathered from first hand fihtin of (ires during the past 10 years. He is a successful and hard-workint; busi ness man. We feel he will make that kind of alderman, too. One Vote Difference Haywood has more than neiuhborini; in terest m the Jackson county primary for state senator, because the candidate nomi nated will in all probability be one of the two state senators from the five-county dis trict Tlu official count showed Mrs. E. L. Mc Kee led her opponent Crawford by one vote. The official tabulation showed 1.662 and 1. &Y.i. This is the closest we ever recall of n county-wide race. Mr. Crawford announced he would call for i recount. As this is written, the matter still Aaqds, and in ail probability, there will be pore news coming from the state senator's election in Jackson. A Month of News June has been called the month of brides; r lso dairy month, and within its limits comes nthor's day and pesky bean beetles. How ever this year, there could be added another tie. fiuht month.

Right here in Haywood there will be an ifiusual sporting event, the Musket Rifle :..eetin on Fie Top, June 30th. This will at tract hundreds of people. It looks like June is Roint; to be a month if intcreStfhf iews events. Inviting Thieves - The car owner who leaves his car parked -;ith the key in the lock is extending a cor dial invitation to some car thief to get in it .'.nd merrily drive away. With cars as hard to get as they are today, thefts have been on the increase, especially where late models are concerned. No one can be assured their car will not be stolen, but a car which is locked both inside and out is not nearly as likely to be taken as one in which doors remain unlocked and the key in the switch lock. And it's surprising how many people leave their cars just this way. Last week a car was stolen on Elkin's Main Street near the Lyric theater. We dojiot know whether or not it was unlocked, but we do know there is no sense in inviting trouble by making things easy for thieves. Elkin Tribune. Atomic Energy Control The fact that the Atomic Energy Commis sion reports an impasse has been reached in the branch of the United Nations which sought to secure an international agreement Qn controls, is disheartening but not neces Sarily tragic. As one commentator says, it means that UN has been forced to confess failure in a vitally important undertaking, Coming as it does on the heels of the Palestine muddle, it serves to focus attention anew on the East West rivalry that dominates world affairs to th exclusion of all other considerations. . Hickory Record. Public Opinion and The Schools We have long believed that public opinion is an excellent guide to the course which should be followed in any matter, but the dif ficulty has been in obtaining correct informa tion as to what that opinion may be. The State Education Commission, which is making a very comprehensive study of edu cation in North Carolina, has been finding out a great deal about public opinion regard ing schools and education. The latest information released by the Commission states that the citizens Who have answered questionnaires about the schools feel that more emphasis should be placed on ! how to get along with others, how to study more effectively, religious training and sex education. i This expression of public opinion compiled from information received from every section of the state, fits into the thinking of Albe marle and Stanly county citizens with whom we have talked. Quoting further from the release by the Commission, here is what citizens think about the schools: The public called for more emphasis on ; developing a well-rounded personality, and j preparing lor marriage and parenthood. The citizens also believe that the Schools should give more attention to understanding the op eration of government. The majority of the citizens favored teach ing high school children about economic the ories, such as capitalism, socialism and com munism, and a slightly smaller number de sired the teaching of religions, such as Chris tianity and Buddhism, and political parties, such as Democratic and Republican. ' Of every 10 answering the question, Which of the following should all children be required to take in high school?' nearly 9 said English, more than 8 said history, and 7 said reading and science. Between 6 and 7 said homemaking and vocational education Five out of 10 would require algebra and plane geometry while 3 out 10 would have all pupils study foreign language. 'in criticizing the present curriculum, per sons answering the questionnaire said that not enough attention is given to the individ ual pupil, and that schools try to hold all pupils to the same standard of work. They asked for better health education and ser vices, more vocational training, and 'encour aging pupils to think clearly, logically, and independently.' " We trust that when the Education Com mission has completed its studies that those who are in charge of our schools will follow pubjic opinion a$ . cjosejj fts possible jn re vamping our educational system; We have complete faith in the wisdom of the citizens of North Carolina, as revealed in the answers to these questionnaires.

Miss Klizabeth Henry: "I haven't iiK.'dc any definite plans yet." Opinion in Congress seems to be almost unanimous that the government is spending too much money. Not a voice of dissent was raised when Senator Byrd quoted columns of figures to show that by 1951 we shall have a national budget of $50 billion and a defiicit of S20 billion. All congressmen except a few openly agree that such spending means more and more inflation. They know where we are headed, and yet they go right on voting for more and more expenditures. Why? Most of them are men of ability. Very few could be classified as stupid. But they want to be re-elected. The people in a county at one end of a congressman. district are clamoring for a harbor dredging job; those in the upper coun ty are demanding a flood control dam; and those in the middle want more social security and federal aid for this and that. The congressman needs the votes of all of those counties. If he offends any one of them he might find himself a lame duck come No vember. So he votes for all of them. He consoles himself that all of the projects are worthy projects and will benefit numer ous people. To be sure, but worthy projects like that all over the country add up to a $20 billion defiicit in 1951, more inflation, higher prices. Who, then, is responsible for H this gov ernmental extravagance? Who is putting the pressure on the congressman to vote for wor thy projects that he knows will put the gov ernment in the red? You, Mr. Citizen. You and nobody else. Don't try to pass the buck. Charlotte Observer.

In the pasv few weeks there have been several crashes on Haywood highways that were the result of a motorist following too closely behind another and tak ing for granted the lead vehicle would not stop or change his speed.
