To us the smoke always seemed to have a "proud way" alout it as it emerged from the tall stack. Tl.e smoke seemed to leave the impression th . it had turned wheels, helped make paper, had done its duty and was now free of fur ther ..h!i: atom. It had served the business world. Never onte did we realize in all the hun dreds of times we looked at the stack that it was the highest industrial stack in North Caioiina. being -54 feet high.

TUESDAY, JUNE 15. 194S A. Whopper That Stayed Hooked We say without hesitation that Ernest Rut ties was the most envied man in ail this area last Thursday afternoon. He is the man who caught the 27-inch trout at Cataloociiee. The Clyde fisherman's name v. as on the tongues of more sportsmen hist wnk thm that of any other man.

Jtage a big Fourth of July celebration, in tact it is a week's observance, at which time a program of recreation as well as education will be presented. The money made from the rides which are brought here is used by the club in can in.; ..n civic projects. Among the projects re ceiving the largest share of the money has been the high school band. Other oruani: a t.ons to share are the Boy Scuts ami the irl Scouts, as well as the parent teacher ; jsociation. The. Club does not allow anv gambling; de- ces or any side shows, or places of chance Cnly good rides are permitted. The sir.;.!! c.iarges for admissions to the ball gaines played by the local teams u'oes to help cove; tl.e expenses of the teams. All in all. the club is doing a gn"! piece ot v.ork in sponsoring the event, and the ir.!: rtainly go into worthwhile projects. JUNE GRADUATE I jgt fwt MIRROR OF YOUR MIND Ms ' Mr. '6lt. a-.M ' "C sl Will It Be One? Silo, A.Farm Asset We muk' admit we never realized that Hay wood, .county had 50 per cent more silos t.ian any other county in the state. For this information we credit our cmintv neent. ayne Corpening. We have perhaps been like the rest ot the citizens of the county in taking a silo as a matter of fact, and looked upon it as just part of a term. Since w- know that Hay wood leads in them, we shall look with a eat er interest and pride on the pillars of con crete near so many barns. Silos play a bigger part in the economic life of the farm than the average person re alizes. A silo enables cattleman, dairyman and farmer to store silage in the early fall that will feed his cattle through the long winter months when the animals have to be taken off the pasture. Silage can be grown cheaply, and is a nourishing feed. This is just another "first'' for Havwood. and the fact that a concerted effort and pro gram is under way to build a lot more silos proves that Haywood farmers are going to use them even more than ever before. That is the title of an editorial in which the Moixantoii News-Herald brings up the time ly subject of numerous drives and the often-su-esied community chest plan. Morgan ton is m just about the same predicament as the towns of Haywood. We do not have a community chest, but have been pondering the idea over and over in our minds. Here is what the Morganton paper has to -av in discussing this current problem: "A front-page headline in a recent issue . l the Hukoiv Hailv Record read: Hickory C:h- Croups Asked To Sponsor Only Ap piovid Fund Prives. In the story under the hradhne a letter from the executive secre taiv of Hickory's Community Chest to the presidents of the various civic groups had this to sav: Now after operating fairly suc icssfullv lor several years, we find the pur pose .mil intent (of the Community Chest) Wing defeated through campaigns for funds being conducted for agencies which should be incorporated in the Chest." "Thcie is a st lone, movement afoot in Mor ganton at present to hrmg about the estab lishment of a Community L hest witli tne hope that much eiL'it and money could be saved because of the consolidation of all agencies dependent upon public subscription under one head. Purine; the' past year 'we saw pel haps a rcc, d number of subscription drives launched and by the end of May the pabiic had been wheedled out of more money for vaitous charitable purposes that ever be fore in the county's history. It's not a matter .f beeiudging the money which has flowed ;h,. coffers of these national charities, but ather a matter of being solicited so often. Vet il we tin adopt a Community Chest urogram here with the backing and support ot the various civic bodies, what assurance have we that the ill wc seek to eliminate will not still be rampant'. It is said that the five maior national charities will not under any cii eunistances join in ou local Community Chest programs. Their reasons are logical. Thev cgin get more money by staging their own drive than in sharing in the total take a Community Chest drive. The news story Irom Hickory referred to above is an illustra tion of the plight of a y.oung Community Chest which so far has failed 1o give Hickory one. ali-inclnsive charity drive. Perhaps the Hickory chest's appeal to the civic clubs to sponsor only tne approeu uiives imiu ran'1 help but get the idea that those which are not approved would in a sense be under an undeclared boycott) may turn the trick. The News-Herald is already on record as iavoimg "no drive for charities, regardless of what it is to bo colled. But if after setting up tins agenc v wo find that we have merely treated another fund-soliciting group which will be competing with a half dozen others, we shall have defeated our purpose." n n: J ilsl -Bits Of Human Interest NewSr.Pfckiefl.iUp lty Members Of The kmntaioeer Staff Somehow, il wasn't a very pleas ant sight and left a most unpleas ant memory. He couldn't have been more than fourteen and his pinched lace drew our attention as he looked al the paper through our front windows. Then he lifted his hand and put a cigarette Into his mouth and drew a deep inhala tion, blowing the smoke out through his nostrils.

Answer: Yes, say Stuart D. Loomis and Arnold W. Green in tlie Journal of Abnormal Psychol ogy. Study of more than 100 visit ors of a college mental hygiene clinic shows that, no matter what problems a student may formerly have had, these are soon trans lated into conflicts over "campus values" such as popularity or prestige. Lack of physical attrac tiveness is the greatest conscious cause of maladjustment as well as of damaged self-esteem, for noth ing is more important at this age than being able to get a "date" when you want one. l it normal for a woman to hate housework?
