NATIONAL DITORtAL AC-ASSOCIATION f"Tortfc Carotin vaV TUESDAY. JULY 1948 A Big Undertaking Workmen and engineers are at w ork clean ing the 5-mile sewer line from Hazehvood to Pigeon Kiver. It is the first time in the nine years that the line has had a thomu.nh clean ing. There have been times when sections were cleaned when something was dumped into a manhole, hut not a L'ood scrubbing from end to end. The fact that the line lias carried the sow aye of the two towns, plus that of industries during the nine-year period without a clean ing speaks well for the en.;;ineerine; and in tallation. An ordinary kitchen sink line 'Jives more trouble than that, and we know whereof we .-peak. And unstopping a la-foot kitchen drain throws us into a mid-summer sweat i ven in the winter time. We urow dizzy to i ven think of a line five miles loni: and 'M laches in diameter. A Sad Note The report on the barley tobacco crop in liaywood is not so encouraging. The fact liiat the crop is about 20 per cent short means a big loss in revenue to Haywood farmers ii xt fall and winter. The continued dry weather riht at the time when the plants had to be re-set is iv en as the main reason, with the Ions' dry spell since that time making it hard for the i op to get a growing start., There is the bright side to think of. how ever, and that is if the crop is short through out the burley growing area, it will mean h. ;her prices for that which goes to market. Always A Good Unit The Waynesville National Guard is in an nual encampment at Fort Bragg this week. Some 70 men went with the local company, which is now an anti-tank unit. Tanks played i. big part in the last war. and in time of an emergency here in the states, tanks could go places where other units might find the go- Waynesvfcle has always had a good Na tional Guard, and no doubt the unit nnw in camp will bring back home many records rained during their 15 days at Fort Bragg. The chemist has probably done more for the farmer in the past few years than for any one group of people. Not so long ago the chemist provided the farmer, and the rest of us, with DDT to combat flies and oth er insects Now the same chemists have come out w ith 2-4 D, an effective weed killer that does not harm the crops. There is no question about it but what a new day looms ahead for the farmers. With DDT he does not have to swat the flies, and by using 2-4 D, there are fewer weeds to dig. All the time he formerly spent at these un profitable and unpleasant duties, can now be , spent doing something else. Popping Big Profits j The popcorn business seems to be growing ; by leaps and bounds. And this accounts for j the fact that Sam J Mitchiner, county agent! ol Forsyth county, is anxious to get popcorn grown in that area. Mr. Mitchiner became more than enthused when he learned that one firm in Winston Salem was buying a million pounds of pop corn each year from western states. The project is underway, and experiments show that a variety comparable to the western corn can be grown in Carolina. We wonder if Haywood soil is suitable for this type of grain ? and thus proving again, that there are few. il anything, that cannot be produced right here in North Carolina.

However, the 'pleasure he shows at meeting . people and talking with them is no political pose. He is a natural mixer who asks friends to call ' him "Harry" and means it. When he became President he told an Associated Press reporter: "I just want the folks I love to know that if we can't get together in the, old informal wax, it is not of my choosing." On the other hand, he has seemed to enjoy being President. Friends have noticed that his face lights up with pleasure when the Marine Band strikes up "Hail to the Chief." He has described the White House as the finest prison in the world. Presidents, he said, are prisoners of the public but most ol them have liked it. He told i about going to a Washington bank soon after he became chief executive. oie vice Ji esiueiii luui eili s i u..., HARRY TRl'MAN WASHINGTON Tlu m m i,lt you're ready to complain r- mil the heat it's the IiuiuhIhn member humidity is n alk oiif ul the blessings of the human rare, i In fact.
