Sometimes the aveiage American is too
quick to find fault with Uncle Sam and his
red tape. In most instances, it is a case of j
not understanding the facts that brings about j
his ridicule. ' j
Several weeks ago we overheard a Hay-
wood veteran complaining about some papers
being returned because he had not put in the
"c " or claim numbers as requested by the
Veterans Administration.
It is easy to understand the need for these
numbers, when one considers that there are
the names of 24,000,000 veterans in the files,
and many names are duplicated.
The files contain the names of 217,000
Smiths, with over 12,500 of them named John.
Also in the vast files are the names of 38,500
men whose names are Adams, and only 960
of these have the same first two names John
Quincy. The records show there are 7,000
John Browns, over 9,000 William Browns, in
addition to 12.000 Bradleys.
And while we have heard of only 'one
Eisenhower, the veteran's files contain the
names of 102 others.
So it appears that the assigned numbers
in this case are far more important than a
"duplicate" name.

Life's Values
Rev. Paul Hardin, a former pastor of the
First Methodist Church here, and one of the
outstanding vounu men of the Methodist Con
ference, recently took tune out from his Hih
Point church to preach in the threat chapel at
Duke University to a congregation that filled
the enormous building.
In his typical thought-provoking fashion,
lie declared that life is a question of values.
The Stanly News and Press, commenting on
the sermon of Mr. Hardin, said:
"Mow true this statement is mav be gather
ed by any individual giving careful study to
his own life, a process of self-analysis that is
calculated to make a man conscious of his
shortcomings and encourage him to strength
en Ins own character.
"Mr. Hardin said that the common practice
today is to confuse activity with accomplish
ment, politicians with statesmen, wealth with
worth, poverty with piety, and frivolity with
happiness, and he discussed each of these in
nn ire or less detail.
"We are a busy people today, speeding from
one appointment to another, meeting with
groups dailv. or sometimes several times
daily, and staving :n what might be caller! an
uproar most of the time. Most parents are
neglecting their homes, foolishly assuming
that activity means accomplishment. Mr.
Hardin thinks that our thoughts should be
directed more towards accomplishment rather
than activity.
"Wealth is often mistaken for worth, and
while the wealthiest man in a community
should mean more to the community than
any other man. this is not always the case.
Many times the wealthy men in a community
are a hindrance to it. Mr. Hardin Pressed
the importance of a man realizing that wealth
is given to him as a steward and not as his
own.
"Pet haps the greatest need in the world to
day is to place accurate valuations on all
phases of human effort to lower the valua
tions on material things, and raise the valua
tions on matters that relate to the heart and
mind.
"Happy is the man or woman who is able
to place the right 'values on those things
which relate to life."
State's Advertising Program Pavs Off
According to the record, North Carolina
has made a wise investment in the advertis
ing piogram inaugurated eleven years ago,
according to Bill Sharpe. manager of the State
Division of Advertising and News. This re
port is of special interest to those of us here
in Western North Carolina, since we share
in the results in several ways.
Mr. Sharpe in a recent speech said that for
everv SI invested, North Carolina had re
ceived $100 in return, or over $100,000,000 in
the eleven years.
There are not many investments that yield
a 100 to 1 return these days.
Mr. Sharpe points out that the return has
come in the form of investments in new in
dustries, agricultural settlers, and in revenue
irom the travel industry. In gasoline tax
revenue alone, the state is getting about $4,
000.000 annually more than it would get with
out the advertising campaign, the head of
the department says.
The report continued to show the many
ways in which the state has been benefitted.
He cited that nearly six million out-of-state
visitors come into North Carolina each year
in motor vehicles, and a third of them "tran
sient visitors" on their way to other areas.
The average visitor stays six days.
North Carolina has 61,438 rooms available
for tourists or travelers, about a third of them
in listed ihntels, the others in inns, tourist
homes, motor courts, cottage colonies, dude
ranches, summer cottages.
These rooms can accommodate 137,801 per
sons. They are occupied an average of
200 times per year (54'. occupancy) and the
average expenditure for one person occupy
ing a bed in North Carolina for one night is
$7 for all purposes, including transportation,
;i total from all travelers of $192,921,400 per
year.
Prom this travel industry the state of North
Carolina derives in taxes at least $15,000,000.
Additional revenue accrues to local towns
and counties through priviledge and other
taxes.
The travel business in North Carolina has
more than quadrupled in the past ten years
and facilities have grown at approximately
the same pace.
Best markets at present for North Caro
lina's travel idustry are the states of North
Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, South Caro
lina, New York, Virginia. Tennessee, in tliat
order. "JI

REMARKABLE THING HAS
BEEN DONE
Editor The Mountaineer:
Do .vou know that the most re
markable thing that has ever been
done in these United States of Am
erica has been done in the last few
days by a ulow boy from Missouri?
I'm not saving it is one of the most
remarkable but THE MOST RE
MARKABLE. Harry Truman, a
plow boy. reared on his fathes-'g
farm has done the biggest job
any man has ever done. He has
out-done the bankers and money
changers of Wall Street, the best
politicians of the country, most of
the editors, newspaper reporters,
radio newshandlers, and even his
friends, who advised him to give it
up and go back home.
What did he do? Almost single
handed without enthuciactix h,n
of his friends, who told him ho
could not win the election, he did
u. wo matter what, arguments he
used, what political triekn ho man
aged, or what he did he ont himcir
elected president of the United
states when he was told he could
not do it, that the odds Were all
against him, that the forecast and
silent polls were all against him.
He did not believe in anything
except his own right arm and his
fertile brain.
I think Mr. Truman's great
