Now that the town of Hazelwood has pur
chased a site for dumping garbage, it gives
both Waynesville and Hazelwood sufficient
space to take care of the needs of the com
munities for tht next several generations. In
fact, Hazelwood officials say their needs will j
be taken care of for the next 100 years or: I
the 18-acre tract just bought.
The disposal of garbage has been of para
mount importance u both communities for
sometime. The incinerator built back during!
WPA days, has been dismantled, and the
problem has been to find suitable acreage
plots away from 'he populated 'centers to
bury garbage refuse that will not burn.
It now appears that both towns have good
sites for this purpose and each has a house
lor the caretaker, which means that there
will be someone on hand to look after the
grounds, and see that the garbage is either
burned or buried as it is brought in bv the
trucks.
Such action will mean a cleaner commun
ity, and that if itself means a healthier com- i
niuintv.

October 9 is destined to be a big day in the
life of this area, as it will bring together
here, agricultural leaders and others from
'SI counties of Western North Carolina
which will feature the address of Secretary
of Agriculture Charles F. Brannon.
It has been a long time since such a gath
ering was held for Western North Carolina,
although there have been numerous smaller
groups in similar meetings. The idea of
bringing leaders of any respective field to
gether to discuss mutual problems is alwavs i
beneficial, and this meeting scheduled here
for the ninth will be no exception.
Agriculture m Western North Carolina is
steadily pushing to the forefront. 'and is one
of our chief economic factors, and as such
needs our undivided attention at all times.
The more emphasis we put on agriculture,
the more profit, and the more interest we can
expect. We are happy that those in" charge
of the meeting were successful in getting
Secretary Brannon to come down for the
occasion.

Hitting Hard At Liquor
Many North Carolina counties are voting
out the sale of wine and beer. Here in Hay
wood, there has not been any election, and
probably will not be. but anyway, the offi
cers have turned in a record that indicates
that to some degree the county is being
"dried up".
The records show that so far this year,
members of the sheriff's department, and the
Alcohol Tax Unit have destroyed 11 stills,
and together with Highway Patrolmen',
caught 4 cars and 347 gallons of illicit liquor.
The officers frankly say there will be "lots
more added to the record before long." This
we can readily understand, because the fall
months are the best for making raids on stills
back in ihe mountains. Right now the j
snakes are a big handicap, and while officers
will face armed distillers, they tread lightly i
at night in snake infested areas.
From the report, and their plans for the
next few weeks, it looks like a lot of liquor
manufacturing units, and the finished pro
duct will be doomed for the sewer and junk
heap.
