(tlifi It Jll" t the da unusual incident encountered by bear ; last week has thrilled hundreds of v. ho have read and heard of the event, rjnes to show how exciting sports rules 4,000 New Homes Fortunately Haywood county has been spared so far this season of any devastating forest fires. Let us hasten to remind our readers, however, that the danger season is just beginning, and the months ahead pre sent a constant hazard for our forests. Today the N. C. Forestry Association is meeting in Raleigh, and the general theme of the meeting will be "Keep North Carolina Green." Don P. Johnston, president of the group, pointed out in his invitation that every year nearly 60 million board feet of timber is destroyed by forest fires through human care lessness. Sixty million is beyond the com prehension of we laymen, yet broken down it means that this would furnish enough lumber to build 4,000 five-room houses each year. Four thousand houses would make a good sized town much larger than Waynesville and Hazelwood combined. Needless to say, the loss is much greater than most of us thought. WASJT TD PUT ME, IS IT? I "W0U6HT THIS NEW ARRANGEMENT VCAS TD Give us more SfACB ! GET THAT OFFICE MAMAdiER IM HERE Haywood A Leading Corn County As a general rule, Haywood is not looked upon as a big corn producing county. Many counties have several times the acreage of Haywood, yet when it comes to producing quantity and quality it looks like Haywood leads. The fact that A. J. McCracken, and George Stamey won first and second place in a corn growing contest in the state vouches for the fact that Haywood is a leading county in the field. This high record in the production of corn can be attributed to two things an ideal soil condition, and the modern production meth ods by farmers. When these two factors are combined, the results are inevitable. While the results of the 200-bushels-per-acre contest in the state have not been made public, there is every reason to believe that Haywood will be near the top in that con test. Such facts should clear the distorted ideas of many people in the other sections of the state that bumper crops cannot be grown here in the mountains as well as any other place in the state.

The exhibit that was shown at the State Fair will be on display, together with scores of exhibits from the homes of Haywood ex hibitors. The cash prizes are an inducement to enter, but even more than that is the fact that an opportunity 'is offered to exhibit a type of work that does not often get to be shown.

The Lions Club brought to this area last Friday the Ambassador of Argentina, as part of a program for goodwill and international understanding. Last summer the ambassador from Romania was also a guest in this com munity. These men, as well as hundreds of other diplomats, are concerned chiefly today with world peace. It does us good to associate with such people, and get a better under standing of some of their problems, and to learn that their aim in life is peace and mu tual fellowship the world over. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND ) . HZ- w X i By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist preserve their dignity as grown ups. They'd like to make laces and have temper tantrum and take out their rage at the frustration of such impulses by hating the child who can still gratify them. The child-hater also may resent a child's ability to get aflection and attention without earning them, as older people must do. Norman Davis: "In my opinion Congress will have trouble with the Taft-Hartley law. I think it should undergo changes but I don't know whether it would be-best to repeal it altogether. Some other legislation like price control and housing, which President Truman tried to get passed by the last Re publican Congress, will probably come up for quite a bit of wrangling.'' ) WASHINGTON LETTER By JANE EADS T. J. Pmett: "1 consider the Taft Hartley labor bill as the toughest problem facing the 81st Congress. Another js making the people hap dv through the Taft-Hartley bill. Laborers and farmers are looking for a break out of the surprising election outcome and it will he up to the next Congress to give it to them." E. G. Hall: "In my opinion price control is eoing to be one of the big problems, and also raising the minimum wage scale is going to come in for its share of discussion. I think they are going to have to raise the minimum wage or put on price controls. Both would prob ably be the thing to do for a whfle anyway." 3 II r jm Ars couples who "argus ever trifles" wis to marry?
