NATIONAL (DITORIAI ASSOCIATION I Carolina i AU0CL TUESDAY. JULY 20. 1948 h Year Old But a Giant The North Carolina Park Commission met yesterday for their annual meeting. The commission has been organized and func tioning only one year. It was created by the 1947 general assembly and became ef fective July 1 of that year. We know of no organization anywhere that has worked as hard, as consistently and as untiringly as have the members of this pommission. Their efforts have been con structive. Their ideals far-reaching, and their motives have been for the fuller de velopment of the Park, the National Forests and Blue Ridge Parkway! Hardly had the ink dried on their ap pointments from Governor Cherry before ihey vvere in session with a similar delega tion from Tennessee to work out a two-state development program for the Park. Before the echoes of tiiis meeting had died, they were in Washington appealing to Con cessional members for more money to be ' .)?nt by the Park Service to carry out the program of development. In Jhe meantime, veral instances arose which constituted an e.nergency in the sense that immediate ac tion had to be taken by some group in au thority. The Park Commission went into ut-tion along these fronts, and in short order h:ud a number of matters under control. The value of the N. C. Park Commission i:.n never be reckoned in dollars and cents. The members work at their tasks because of tl.eir interests in the opportunities afforded this area, and not from monetary compensa tion, because there is none. Their compen s; tion is the sheer joy of accomplishing that hich they know should be done. It would be unfair to mention the accom-1-ishments of the N. C. Park Commission without giving Charles E. Ray. chairman, tied.it for expediting and mapping a long l.mge program that has already proven ef ' fVtyfi, Mf- av KPt'ns many hours a day ifi Jii$ task.' jjfle and his coworkers are do i:ig a dplendui job. and as they begin their cond year, we look for them to continue to bring about accomplishments that but for mem would be left undon. We feel the Board of Aldermen made a wise decision when they decided to buy a tract of land outside of the city limits for a garbage disposal sjte, and at the same time , voted to dismantle the incinerator on the banks of Richland Creek. j When the incinerator was built as a WPA project back in the '30's, it was adequate for both Waynesville ai:d Hazelwood. But in a few years that condition changed, and it was found that the plant was only large enough for Waynesville, and recently as it steadily gave way, it was not even large enoi'.gh for this town. The proper disposal of garbage is one of the first steps towards a sanitary communi ty. The sewer system, with minor repairs should last for many years to come, and now with the purchase of the land for the dis posal of garbage this town should be pre pared to take care of a growth many times the present population. The town of Hazelwood has a similar prob lem of disposing of their garbage, and we hope that before this sees the light of print, that the two boards will have met and en tered into an agreement whereby both will own and operate the disposal site jointly. We feel it will be a matter of economy, as well as a safeguard against improper han dling of the increasing heavy load of garbage. Faith Of The Highest Degree Tonight marks the third annual opening of the "Theatre in the Sky," with a series of presentations scheduled that will no doubt attract many patrons. The organization came here three years ago with the determination to give this com munity outstanding performances. They worked hard, yet unfortunately, had a heavy financial loss. The second year they came back with renewed faith and even more de termination, but when the year ended, the books were again in the red. All last winter they kept working and ad vertising in national publications the Way- : 1 1 , i , nesviiie summer ineaire. we understand a sizeable sum of money was spent in national publications, including both trade magazines and newspapers. All this gives evidence of the untold faith the group has in this community and area. We trust their third season will be a charm and their balance column will turn from red to heavy black. ! i i rWBoss.vou look mmmfr':" R ALL WORN OUT - &mr VOU SAID IT! YlL . y.

The volume is still large and the extent of theft and forgery seems to be increasing. The Secret Service has kept up a crusade, using all sorts of pub- nities in the East have been conducting such campaigns for years, with gratifying results. While hay fever is universally regarded as a passing discomfort, limited to a short period in the summer, some 80 per cent of untreat ed hay fever victims develop asthma and many more contact sinus infection. Ragweed should be cut down before it be gins to pollinate, and thus prevent much unnecessary discomfort and real suffering to a large number of our citizens. There are many forms of hay language. There is clo ver laughing, timber barking, straw whoop ing, and golden rod hawking. Also rose snorting, cabbage neighing and wheat meow ing.

The thief, who has probably noted that checks arrive regularly on a cer tain date, will steal the check, along with other mail, forge an endorsement and take it around to the corner grocery to be cashed.

It is much like that. You and other newspaper editors along the line, and business leaders have denounced it. Refus al of the commission to subpoena the books of the railroad as urged by complainants to show the big net revenue on the Asheville-Mur-phy branch despite loss from pas senger operation, was clearly par tisan, if not outrageous and unfair It seems to me, however, thai the commission ought to net a good bawling out for not fixing a date, well ahead, for the end of passen ger service, so that the postal authorities meanwhile could ar range for the handling of mail on a 115 mile route. It merely said, so far as one may find, that the com pany could scrap its passenger business as soon as it saw fit. anil it saw fit with amazing speed """'h is more J "milled business 5n and railroad I Nuw mpr,.k.,. facturers alter J menaous express express rales lor freight train, , were based on pas, Certainly, lo the same the face of appj leuucc express r, is no longer "expr cannot blame the' uflice for the pw , me moment.
