NOVE.MBEK 2. 1948 Progressive Step In Extending Town Limits A progressive forward step was made last 1 Thursday when the town board of r.ldermen passed an ordinance extending the town limits to include the greater part of East Waynesville. This newspaper feels that the action of the board will be of mutual benefit to both the town and to the people who live within the area just annexed. Now that the East Waynesville area has been taken into the town, the people in that section will enjoy reduced water and light rates, in addition to having garbage disposal service, and in time, better streets and ex tended and large water lines, which mean better protection against fire. j The town government will no doubt spend many times what will be received for taxes for several years on the improvements. In time, the taxes will repay for the investment. The East Waynesville area is just one of several such areas which should be brought within the town limits, although we hasten ' to say that to expand too rapidly would be detrimental to the town, because of the extra obligations and responsibilities. Now that the board has extended the city limits to include East Waynesville, we trust that they will continue with this program on a conservative basis, and plan for additional areas to be included within the town.

That is all well and -instance, where then were donated by merchants who wanted to see the schools make some money fur vari ous projects. Too often we take such things as a mat ter ol lact. and do not give them a second thought. These prizes, or gifts from the mer chants represented dollars and cents, and by the time all schools had been taken care of The total amounted to a sizeable sum. Now don't get us wroivj. or jump at con clusions in this matter, we merely write this editorial on the subject in order that all of us might have a deeper appreciation of what the merchants are doing for our many schools throughout the area by liberally donating prizes from which the schools realize a nice sum of money. The schools almost have to have extra funds for various activities which are not covered by the state school fund. Yes, the merchants have given liberally this year, and we are sure we voice the opinions of all school patrons that their gen erosity is fully appreciated.

Parkway At Wagon Road Gap Closed Yesterday saw the closing of the five mile section of the Blue Ridge Parkway from Wagon Road (lap to Bennett's Gap. The sec tion has been open since early spring, and thousands of motorists have enjoyed the trip which affords a view of the thousands of acres of Pisgah frVm atop the world. The color in the foliage in' the area is about gone, and with the hunting season opening, and the dry forests, it is always a policy to close this section at this time of year. This newspaper has always felt, and ex pressed itself editorially on many occasions, that this section of the Parkway should be kept open from late spring until about this time each fall. We are sure that motorists who travel that section of the road on top of the Pisgar ledge have a greater appreciation of the general plan for developing the Park way from Virginia into the Great Smokies. We look forward, as the gates are closed on a successful season, to the time next spring when they can again be swung wide open to motorists hungry for some more awe inspir ing mountain views. The hundreds who heard the High School band and chorus on Thursday night were literally "swept off their feet". The two groups gave their first concerts of the current school year last week under the direction of Charles Isley. It is almost unbelievable what has been accomplished in the music department of the high school, and we have noted with interest that the grammar school students are looking forward to the day when they will be high Smathcrs school students and can participate in the band and glee clubs. The concert last week certainly gives due notice to all comers at the state contests that Waynesville will have to be reckoned with more than ever this year. All through the years the band and glee clubs have main tained high ratings and won high honors in state contests. This year will be no excep tion. Few people are aware of the fact that there are three bands in the high school. A junior band, a marching band and the concert band. With an assistant band director, the grammar school children could be taught the funda mentals of band work, and when they got to the seventh grade, would have six full and successful years as members of the band. It is a matter for serious consideration. It is already a proven fact that there is musical talent galore in the schools, and with training, and leadership, these talents can be put to useful work. 15 YEARS AGO Haywood County votes two to one against repeal of the 18th amendment. of baby contest held at East Waynesville School as part of the Hallowe'en Carnival.

MIRROR OF YOUR MIND Br LAWRENCE GOULD Coaraltiiif Psychologist new turroundings and make new friends. Dr. William Vt. Watten berg in Education Forum says that children's having moved from one town to another is a sig nificant factor in producing "mal adjusted behavior," and urges that schools and teachers make a special effort to help young new comers feel at home. Should you make if a rule to "ktop smiling"? Answer: Ho. Smiling is one thing 70U should never do "by rule." except perhaps when po liteness demands it A consciously-forced smile will seldom fool others, while one which you do not realize is forced may mean you arc fooling yourself danger ously. "Looking on the bright side" Is good Idea if you do it spontaneously, but to force your self to Ignore things that frighten you or make you unhappy only Itjta (hem do more damage to your naJ, unconscious feelings than they could if you allowed yourself togBOO . .

Answer: By no means, to judge by recent figures of the Federal Bureau ef Investigation. For each thousand crimes reported, only 140 offenders are caught and con victed. Certainty ef being pun ished la not the main reason why "crime does not pay," any more than fear of punishment Is what keeps most people law-abiding.

It'll be the biggest hunting season ever and, warn safety experts, wild game won't be the only victims. Safety experts point out that every year more than 2,000 per sons accidentally lose their lives because of careless handling of firearms. The total was 2,500 in 1947. Most of tbese needless deaths are in hunting accidents. For the hunters who want to come safely out of the woods un der their own power, we suggest these simple precautions: 1. Wear clothing which con trasts with surrounding foliage. Red has been proven the best and safest color. 2. When climbing fences or other obstructions either unload your gun or be sure the safety catch is on. Always unload a shot gun. 3. Keep gun pointed away from hunting companions at all times. 4. Don't snap-shoot on the spur of the moment. Know for certain no other person is beyond your target. 5. Don't drink while hunting. Gin, guns and gas don't mix. 6. Protect your health while outdoors. Don't over-exert your self, wear warm clothing and change wet clothing. Marlon Progress. ern teaching hospital at Quito. According to Dr. Ferguson, the I eight human heads were collected j by nomad tribes called "jivaros" I who live hack in the jungles.
