It lias ma bo
Clyde licld t lu
lu cstock shipptv
n so many years asjo that
iistinction of having more
from that station than any
po.nt on tbe entire Southern Kailway system.
Caiload after e..r!oad of cattle would be
loi.ded and slnppe.! from Clyde every year.
Even school books carried pictures of the
scone, and it was a show place for visitors,
in 'hat the distinction carried much weight
anion;; those who came here from all sec
tions of the country.
T ie storv is quite ilifTerent today the
dop..t at CKde has been closed. Thai means
that the fremh' business there no longer war
rant ; operation of the station.
Ti.ere are more cattle today than in the
veai ; past, but trucks have moved in on the
situ-, and the average farmer now hauls to
lai-.'cr markets, whereas in the years past
thai would have not been practical.
The cattle industry continues to p'ow in
Ha wood, and shipping is just as bitf an item
o- c -r, vet the mode has changed, and means
ilia: i once llourishinu; industry for the South
cm l.ailwav has vanished from Clyde.
Th.s is just one of the many chane.es in
our economic life that has come about in the
stunt span of a few vears. It makes all of
us i-ive more oncerr about the future, and
Ha- necessity of keepmu step with modern
tit -, elopments ami .-UvmL abreast of the
tunes.
According to our Raleigh correspondent,
tr.cu will be a movement on foot in the 1949
Ctmial Assembly to move hitjhwr.y patrol
ir.i n cverv two vcars, in order to avoid
si,'.'-, Hi'.' "local favoritism. "' That plan miuht
xiii n oviny anvone of the five patrolmen in
tins newspaper would oppose the Commis
sion loovinc either of the five patrolmen in
tto- county. We feel we are fortunate in
havin; such a uroup of men to patrol our
highways.
S,ye understand a farmer in this state has
succnsfulrv'-tfeveloued a stintless bee. That
is ood news, but how is one to tell the dif
ieienee before it is too late?
Today marks tin. first anniversary of radio
station WHCC, a public servant dedicated to
the best interests of the people of this area.
WHCC is tiie only radio station west of
Ashevilie. and the nearest from the west is
Marvville. Tenn. During the past 12 months,
there have been many, and varied programs
of public interest aired by the station. The
station has been used in finding lost children,
askmu for special type blood to save lives,
as well as issuing warnings of public interest.
In aitiition to all those things, every cam
paign, every organization has had made avail-
able the l.icilities of the station for the pro-
motion i'f worthy causes and projects. The
ch Lire lies have been given unlimited time, as
well as the Lake Junaluska Assembly dur-'i
:iil. the past three months. i
As the station begins its second year of
operation, with the capable staff of exper
ienced radio men ,md women, this section
lan lo"k forw.ird to an even better and more
iar-react'.mL, program than in the past year.
During the year there were many mistakes -made
- but these have been gradually elimi
nated, and the mi'l Jok for WHCC indicates a ;
brighter one. as well as one that can render
untold public service.

North Carolina always gets a lot of satis
faction out of the big block of the taxes it
pavs the Federal government in comparison
with other States. And the eves comes now
that the S-ati' paid an all-time record-breaking
Sl..'f!'..id.()94 into the Federal Treasury
in the fiscal year ending June MO, 1948.
Unfortunately, this news comes only a
few days alter the announcement that, while
North Carolina's per capita income has hit
an all-time high of S.'WO it was still lower
than the per capita income in every other
State m the Union save six.
The comparison between North Carolina
taxes and North Carolina incomes looks
screwball. Actually, ot course, the situation
is explained by the tobacco taxes, paid in
North Carolina but actually collected wher
ever a pack of cigaret tes is sold. In real sense
this is a tax on North Cavhna as it is the tax
upon the chief commodity of the leading to

, RANCHER REMEMBERS
CHILDREN IN WILL
FORT WORTH. Tex. (UP) Chil
dren were listed as beneficiaries in
the will of Frank Hays McFarland,
a rancher who died here.
The will provides that at the
death of Airs. McFarland, a trust
fund shall be set up from income
of large ranch buildings of McFar
land. Money from the fund would be
used for a day nursery for under
privileged children. It also would
be used to provide low-interest
loans to young men and women for
education and vocational training.
Should a iwwly wWowd prn go out on date?
Answer: It he or she wants to
do so. it becomes a matter of how
much importance the person at
taches to "what people will say.
Certainly, if you have lost one
source of happiness, the healthy
minded thing to do if to find
ethers, nd no one but a neurotic
would expect h pcrtner to do
otherwise "after ha la tone." It is
normal to grieve at bereavement,
and equally normal to "get over
it" within reasonable lengtfc of
( time. And for my part I cant eo
' that anybody has right to aay
1 what is "reasonable" ior another,
i nersom. '
Com reading help an emotional
disturbance?
Answer: It can often help a
great deal, for the moment,
though it seldom can cure. If
you're ttpset or unhappy, it is usu
ally better to seek comfort or
"escape" through reading than to
lead to find out "what's wrong."
When you're tired, ore you
"tired oil over"?
Answer: Yes. Recent scientific
studies of fatigue have shown that
it is never wholly without mental
factors, as a rule including some
variety of "conflict" How tired
you are does not depend on how
much energy you have expended,
nor is fatigue "localized" in any
one part of you. According to Dr.
S. Howard Hartley, even when
your eyes are "tired" It is largely
an expression oi the way you feel
about the purpose for which you
have used them. A good movie
will fatigue your eyes much less
than working on your income tax
