NATIONAL DITOWAL SSOCIATION FRIDAY. JUNE 11. 1948 Never A Miss Tommy Gibson must feel a sense of pride and joy in having completed 11 years of per fect attendance at school. While Tommy has doubtless gone to school when he did not feel like it, he must out of necessity, give his older brother and sister some credit for his achievement. Had it not been for them bring ing home the usual children's diseases be fore Tommy started to school, then Tommy would not have been able to attain his rec ord. It is just another case of proving what co-operation can do. Off Td A Good Start The season at Lake Junaluska got off to the pre-season prediction a good start. The large crowds of Sunday morning, and the steady influx of summer residents and visi tors during the past week gives every indi cation that 1948 will be one of the best, if not the best, in years for the Methodist Assembly. Dr. Frank S. Love, superintendent, has prepared an outstanding program and is bringing to the Lake platform some of the best known lecturers and entertainers avail able. The program is varied and from last Sun lay to August 29th, promises to be some thing worthwhile every day. We have often said before, yet we feel it hears repeating ever so often, and that is that Lake Junaluska is one of Haywood's most valuable assets. The start of this year's sea )n makes us want to say it again in capital letters. Out Of The Mud The highway projects as announced this veek by D. Reeves Noland. tenth district t .jmmissknr. shows that there is more ac i.vity in improving our highway system than i.iost folks realize. The state recently allocated some special i wney for re-treating black top roads, and ave each district and each county their pro portionate share. This will be useful in re pairing map, jpjf MW black-top roads. New funds matSe 'available lor use in every ourtty will be spent on roads that will best erve the most people. Here in Haywood I.lr. Noland quickly acquired money for put ting 15,000 tons of crushed stone on the rural roads. This will go a long way in improving i he roads next winter. One by one the rural roads are being paved. While it will take time, and lots of money, one can have patience if he knows a planned system is being worked. And that is what Mr. Noland, and his co-workers have in mind. They have definite plans for get ting the counties out of the mud, and con stantly improving the road system. Mr. Noland has only been highway com missioner for a short time, but he has quickly grasped the situation, and since he already knew the road needs, he is not losing any time in getting action. We have never known of Mr. Noland hat ing anything, but judging from his road pro gram, we are beginning to think he really hates mud, as he is determined to get the farmer out of it when it comes to state roads. "We had always thought, that next to Hay wood, the best cows in the work! were raised in Texas. Now comes the startling news that in the city of Houston alone, the residents there have been eating 200,000 pounds of horse meat a week. . The probers the Texans thought they were eating top grade beef, but those who are supposed to know say ft was plain horse meat, selling at. a fancy price. Among the witnesses, was a man who said live horses had jumped in price from $2.10 per hundred to $4 per hundredweight. ft is not so pleasant a thought yet horse just eats oats and hay and good clean grass. beg your pardon, what did you say about chicken? Picking The Winners News men in Washington tonducted a se cret poll among themselves this week, and predicted Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan would be the next president. The same group picked Thomas E. Dewey as Van denberg's running mate, or Harold E. Stassen. The newsmen felt President Truman would be renominated, and his running mate would be either Governor Wallgren. of Washington, or Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming. These men who are such an influence in molding public opinion, pride -themselves with their accurate predictions - of the past. Anyway, it will be interesting ,Ur watch, and see what does happed. The, first thing of course, will be the nati6nal Republican convention which convenes: June 21 in Phil adelphia, just five days before Tar Heels go back to the polls to nominate a governor. That's going to be some political week, the week of June 21st. NEW WAILING PLACE The 12th Star In The Flag Next Monday is Flag Day, according to the record of coming events. It is a day set aside to give recognition, and proper thought to the flag of our country. It is distressing to think what a small per-, centage of the American people know how to handle, and perhaps we' could say, even respect the flajf. The story and significance of the flag was among those things we learned mechanically in school, while our minds were on baseball or the next fishing trip. In case you are interested, the 12th star in the flag represents North Carolina, and the ratification of the state constitution was on November 21, 1789, at which time this stfcte was admitted to the union. Rambling 'Round -l-Bits Of Human Interest News Picked Up By Members Of The Mountaineer Staff la discussing reincarnation, you'd be surprised at the desires some folk have expressed. For in sta'nee: one very attractive matron desired to come back with deep red hair and peachy complexion. As for us: our joy would be supreme If our return found us a Pullman tar porter. That's how much we like traveling on a train. She cimr in to buy a paper and was about four. Dark hair tn two tigrht pigtails, she looked Hke a picture book baby. The pennies she deposited on the cannier were decidedly warmish and steky . . . but her smile was like a rilmpse into Eden. Dr. Frank Jeter During the 32 years that Frank Jeter has served as agricultural editor of State Col lege he has had many, honors, bestowed upon him. This efficient man is now Dr. Jeter, by virtue of the honorary award of Doctor of Science given him this week by Clemson College, his alma mater. Mr. Jeter has served the state well, and in more receht years he has added radio to his duties. Now he has a daily program, in ad dition to the numerous special articles he continuously sends out. for special occasions. And as an after dinner speaker he is very much in demand. Those of us in Haywood who have worked with him for many years feel the honor right fully deserved, but it is going to be hard to say "Dr. Jeter" because all these years it has been juft "Frank." It .seems as though we were los ing a good friend by slow death. Por years, we have admired those tree -'there used to be three) in the, Cdunty parking lot next to the LeFaine Hotel. In the spring, theirs was" the first to show their green welcome, and in the fall! Then was when they came out in all their glory '. . . each with a different coloring. One was bright red with golden touches; another was all gold, and the third blended the two and added a brilliant bronze for good measure. But the advent of progress made the parking lot necessary and a retaining circle of stone around the trunks of the! trees slowly sapped away Iheirj vitality. One has gone and another I is showing its offense at being1 "''fenced in". Visitors are most profuse in j their admiration of our snappy, j up to - the - minute business streets. Our store fronts, street liglrtlnf and merchandise are , quite a surprise to those coming; 1 from large cities. And, believe it or not, some express their opinions that even stores of larg er cities cannot compare with several of our stores. One of Waynesville's best known young business ladies over the week-end. had her picnic com panions all-a-dither, ajid wonder ing from her actions if she had too much sun, or what was the matter. The pretty young picnicker wan dered out to the edge of the picnic spot, and with much gusto called for her companions to come kill a snake on a large rock. The group rushed to the scene, but found the rock resembled Mother Hubbard's cupboard it was bare. With raised I eyebrows, and catty glances, they went about their duties preparing I the picnic lunch. About 30 minutes later the young lady called again loud and long, i Again she wanted a snake killer. The group slowly wended their way towards the cries for help, and sure I enough, there on the same rock was a 5-foot snake, coiled and enjoying jthe pleasant outdoors. The young snake-hater gave two i sighs of relief as a big rock smashed the snake's head. She was so frightened hor perm anent straightened out, but $10 will get her another this week-end. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND IRIDW Uv Lawdbv Shoukf all a wifV IntorMto muter mn hor husband? Answer: No. A woman may be Interested in no other man beeidsa her husband, but she cant help having other interests thai, ore Independent of him. The idea some men have of finding a Wife who will "live only for them" is a relic of the way they wished to have their mothers feel when they were babies, and) of their resent ment at having to share their in terest and affection. Even if she tried, no wife could meet this de mand without ultimately break ing down because of the frustra tion of her normal need for self-expression. Con a person's "nose" deceive him?

In 1942 he fell 90 feet but re covered from his injuries. The other day he was cleaning the windows of a downtown build ing when the catch of his safety belt loosened, leaving him dangling 75 feet in the air. A second safety catch held him, however, until a fellow worker rescued him.

No Place For Eddie The Evening Banner, cretjnvillei Texas, recently told, in an editoria, the sad story of Eddie, an inefficient and dispourteous lerk in a store. One day a customer noticed that Eddie wasn't present and asked about him. "He's just not working here, any more," the proprietor said. "Got anybody in mind for the vacancy?" the customer responded. "Nope," said the proprietor. "Eddie didn't leave no vacancy." As the Banner added, "There's no place for the Eddies because the days of competi tion have returned and customers want to be waited upon . . . they want to see clerks take an interest in their requests, give them courteous, attentive service and try to make them feel at home. That's just torman na ture." During the war, many a store, from the big chains down to tittle shops, had to em ploy poor and disinterested help, because nothing better could be had. But we re getting back to normal now, and we're see ing again that retailing is a career, that it calls for very special talents and mental at tftudes and capabilities, 8tid that it isn't a job that anyone can do. The customer is entitled to interested and intelligent service, whether hes afttr Dound of hamburger or a complete spring outfit, and retailing fs giving it to him. That smaB percentage of stores which takes no interest to this basic form of public relations won't be in business long. And like Eddie, . they'll leave no vacancy. " The Times, Brevard. H.
