DKCE.MHER 21. 1948 ABC Store Profits A Live Question DunriL1 the past 1- months, (he five Alco holic Beverage Control Stores in Asheville did a jjross business of S4.62.7"iS. This was tor the first year of operation in our neighbor ing county, and the profits hit SrtaO.000. ac cording to the chairman of the stores. These facts will be the basis for many a discussion in the weeks and months ahead. These facts will be used in many a sermon, to show the tremendous amount that is beini; spent for whiskey. Those favoring the establishment of ABC stores in Haywood will point to the bi profit derived from the sale of the liquor, which they will arue would have gone into the pockets of bot it letters and out-of-state liquor stores. Bootleggers will cast a longing eye at the figures, and gear their activities to the poten tial business which is reflected in the sales a by the Asheville ABC stores. Members of the 1949 General Assembly f will have the figures tossed at them by many roups, as the proposed state-wide referen duni becomes a vital issue. Yes. the figures on the business of the five " Asheville ABC stores will be discussed much more than the national debt. Regardless of how much the liquor ques tion is discussed, it is still a serious problem, taken from anv standpoint. As we have baid time and again in these columns, the only solution for the liquor question is per sonal control. How to put that into force is something the world ha.- so far failed to solve. 106 Without Christmas It is hard to realize that in a county as prosperous as Haywood, that there are 106 people classified by the Welfare Department as being in "destitute circumstances". These are the, facts, and the 16 families, comprising 106 people, face a dreary Christ mas unless something is done for them by the general public. The Mountaineer has listed all 16 cases in the hope that each case will be taken by some organization or individual who will see to it that a happy Christmas is provided for them. We have watched on many an occasion, people who were doing for others, and thev have gotten more out of Christmas than the group that tried to build Christmas within themselves. The Welfare Department has only listed those whom they feel need immediate atten tion. Of course there are literally hundreds of others on their rolls, but many have been provided for in one way or another by special groups, or individuals, and in some cases neighbors. The 106 are without a Christmas sponsor. Surely in Haywood there are those who will want to enjoy their best Christmas ever by taking one or more cases. The Wel fare Department can give complete informa tion, and stand ready to assist in spreading cheer to those who otherwise will have "just another day" on December 25th.

Minerals Are Profitable This area affords unusual opportunities for the manufacturing of roofing granules, ac cording to a report of R. T. Isley, assistant industrial engineer of the Department of Conservation and Development. Granules, as we understand it. are ma terials used to cover asphalt-impregnated felt in the manufacture of roofing. The hard, colorful rock found so profusely in this area, is termed as just "the thing' by roofing man ufacturers, and the average price at present is $8.25 per ton. We trust that some manufacturers will be come interested in this plentiful raw mater ial in these hills, and set up a plant to utilize them. In this immediate area, mining and kin dred industries are not so plentiful, yet there are apparently lots of potential raw material- available for unlimited use. Holiday business shows increase over 1932. Annual Christmas celebration sponsored by the Woman's Club for underprivileged children is great success. Santa Clans is on hand to distribute tovs. Survey shows shoppers started early and are still going strong. Stores are selling large number of toys. Merchants feel business was stimulated by presence of Santa Clans at his igloo. 5 YEARS AGO Pvt. Goldman G. Trantham of Clyde suffers no pay cut in trans fer from his job in a shipyard to the army. He is the father of 9 children and his family will draw $268 per month.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Where do you plan to spend Christmas this year? Mrs. J. T. Christenberry: ' I plan to spend the Chrintnias holidays in my hometown of Central Kentucky. Next to that my choice would be here in Waynesville. although I'm now residing in New York '' fin ' WASHINGTON LETTER By JANE EADS Crabtree Telephone Delay Not Serious There will be a tinge of disappointment in the fact that there will be a He lav in getting the telephone line completed into Crabtree by January first. However, the delay is not a serious one. as the vital parts are expected by the end of January. Th Southern Bell has pushed rural tele phones during the pa-t tew years, and here in Haywood we have already felt the results cf this rural program, with lines going out to Bethel. Jonathan Creek. Clyde, and now into Crabtree-Iron Duff. F.ventually, we trust, on down to Fines Creek. They Help Our Needy The Lions Club is hoping that the public will reimburse them $1,200 they spent on clothing for needy children here last week. Last Friday marked the beginning of the Dime Board and from that source they hope to get back their $1,200. The Lions have done a splendid piece of work, and we have every reason to believe that many a dime will go on the board to show appreciation of the leadership the Club has taken in looking after many needy people. The Salvation Army is also doing a splen did piece of work again this year, and are1 making an appeal by letter as well, as with their well-known kettle on Main Street. Both groups warrant our financial supports as far as we are able to give.

Views Of Other Editors MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist sleep for worrying" about inter national relations or the possi bility of a third World War, it's a pretty safe guesa that you're substituting these more sophisti cated issues for what really scares you. It is your own private prob lems that you can't solve, and absorption in world affairs helps you dodge them. U m eliiW't "l.Q." affected by hit family background? Awwer: Definitely, reports Job X.

Answer: Yes, unless you're ac tually dealing with them and eaa do something about them. I know there is a great need for all of us to be intelligently interested in waai goes on outside of ou own . immediate circle, but if you "cant siiiissjHiss.aisii Ai your "first impressions" likely to change? Answer: Yes, says a Finnish psychologist. Dr. A. Lehtovaara, after studying the first impres sions that 1000 people of all ages made on members of his classes. Most of us react at once and strengly to the people we meet, but are more apt than not to feel differently as we get to know them better. The reason for this is that the way you fee) about someone whom you have Just met depends nalaly a your feeling about other people of whom he uncon sciously remind yeu.

NO HARMFIL ADS In quietly turning down a $10. 000 contract for tobacco advertis ing, the National Grange Monthly has again carried out in practice the ideals of the oldest of tho Ameriran farm organizations. The tobacco revenue available to a farm paper with a circulation of 160,000 and a subscription price of but 25 cents a year would have been substantial. More than that, the Grange magazine could reap a still larger harvest of dollars if it liquor advertising. But during the ; I, nas Deen printing a monthly for farmers the Grange has steadily kept its advertising nee irom aiconol. Its policy naturally reflects the siana trie Grange, now an organi zation of over 800.000 men and wo men, has traditionally taken for cne Determent of rural life.) The Grange, for instance, welcomes youngsters into its juvenile depart ment at the ages of five to four teen. When they join they must take a pledge not to drink or smoke Christian Science Monitor. GETS QUOTA QUICKLY MADISON. Wis. (UP.) A far as Lor an Wilson is concerned, Wis consin's nine-day deer season ended 10 minutes after It began. The Madison garageman started to hunt at 7 on the morning of opening day. At 7:10 he shot a l0-pound buck. Wisconsin laws permit one deer to a hunter during a season.""' -'- -, - .- with bothJPresident Koosevelt and President Truman on office space problems. He was then assistant director of the Budget Bureau. "The top problems for Washing ton officials today are the loyally programs and office space," Stone continued. "Space is an old prob lem here. There's never enough of it in Washington. People who have it cling to it until they are liushed out. You have to be con stantly shifting various offices, contracting and expanding. "When a high official has been occupying a good building and a fine office for a long time, some limes lie simply can't be -persuaded to move. I; hurts his dignity for you even to suggest it. Many ii time you have to take it to the President, and he has to review the problem, try to reconcile the official to the change or iust ordor him to vacate." One of the classic stories about Presidential intervention concerns President Roosevelt. In 1939 he wanted the Budget Bureau prob ably But the State Department had the building. Diplomats protested thai valuable traditions and prestige would he destroyed if they were moved from the hallowed halls. Finally, to get to the bottom of (he matter, Roosevelt announced he was going oven to see about it himself. He had them roll him across the street in his wheelchair, and he inspected the enormous pile from top to bottom. He barged into one office after another, ask ing questions, crealing vast con sternation. He sailed into a big file room on i he .'top floor. Are all those files necessary? he asked. Are they cur rent files? The clerks and bureau crats assured him thev were. The President wheeled himself up to a drawer, drew out the first folder in sight and read: "China. Wild horses. 1905.'' The Budget Bureau moves in! the President announced, wheeling himself out without another word. CROSS Let it b,. km.ui, i and sundry that J.
