Haywood Came Through The true Christmas -.pin', reallv prevailed in Havwioid dnnm the current holulav sea son. Fiom mir obei'alit lies were taken cart ol time. The general res;v'n-c all aeencie- rrr.'.tte.i tt deep in their pockets t r.. rr. ore neetr than at anv fami-other Could Have Heard Them Cheer We are sorry that Governor Cherry was not on top oi Mt. Guyot last week when he announced the $450,000 allotment for the Pigeon River road to Tennessee. We are sure that he could have heard the cheer that went up from Haywood county on this side of the state line, and from Cocke county from the other side. The Mountaineer does not remember a single piece of news in recent years, except the "cease firing order" of the war, that has brought as much favorable comment in this area. Men and women in all walks of life have termed the action of Governor Cherry as "The greatest thing to happen to our sec tion in a long, long time." Duncan MeDougald. of Brevard, wired this newspaper: '"This is the greatest piece of news that could happen to North Carolina. Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia, as it connects from Canada to Kev West overseas highway through beautiful Haywood county and Wavnesville. Thank Governor Cherry j and Commissioner Noland for this wonder Work." That is indicative of the enthusiasm with winch the news has been received. Western North Carolina and Eastern Ten-! nessee will be linked together by this im portant hii'hwav. and commerce of both; areas, and all the peoples in between, will benefit in many wfivs when the highwav is opened. I The central, and lower parts of Haywood will be opened up. and thousands of dollars of valuable land can be added to the tax books as the highway enables people to move in and cultivate the area which is now iso lated. The highway will open up some scenic areas which are now unknown except to a few who have braved the wilderness to stand spell bound at the numerous cliffs, and forces Farmers can get into Tennessee with pro- ! Mr and Mis dim Mdnnes a re duce and sell on markets there when their nost 1,1 delightful Christmas pur crops are over. The canneries in that area X '.. will afford another outlet for a greater pro- . . duce and fruit crop on this side of the moun tain. Today, Tennessee markets are almost out of the question because of the hard climb over New Found Gap, or the long out-of-the-way route via Asheville to get to the markets in the Volunteer state. This newspaper wants to go on record right now as favoring a suitable marker be placed on this highway to Governor Cherrv, and also Governor Kerr Scott, as we trust the latter will see to it that this all-important farm-to-market road is completed during his administration. And repeating the sentiments of the peo ple of both Carolina and Tennessee, we say, "it is truly great news, and Governor Cherry shall always be remembered for his fore thought of allocating this fund for such an important highway, which will mean the fuller development of this entire area."

Similar charitable programs were carried out in Canton ana Clyde. All in all. Haywood responded, and re sponded well to the call, which is typical of the manner in which this county goes about calls which are worthwhile. The Solemnity Of Christmas The Christmas of 1948 carried with it more the real meaning of Christmas than any of recent years. There seemed to be a dignitv, a solemnity, about the season that reached into the hearts of all. No one seemed to be able to explain why this was the case, nor did they try. The over hanging clouds of war discord may have had -its effect; or the realiz"t(on of how blessed we were in this world's i.cnes may have pene-! trated our consciousness. j In no way was the happiness and pleasures of the holiday season lessened but alwavs underneath was the current of reverence and impressiveness. Perhaps that was the rea son it was one of the very best we have ever known. Rev. M. R. Williamson: "I usu al I v do and I think I d make one or t we this e;u -." J. B. Siler: II I did I we.tdd break them, so I won't make any." Mrs. T. N. Ile.well; "No They are se) er seldom kept. I don't see anv point in making them. " Letters To The Editor MORE ABOUT YAMS Editor The Mountaineer: Mr. Frank Jeter, our Agricultur al Editor, has referred to me what in recent years providing for the education of these children wher ever they may be in homes, heis pitals. convalescent homes or spe--i ,i I schools. A recent survey by Die- U. S. Of- : lice of Education indicated that home instruction was being pteivitl- , ed te some of the children in e.lch J of 34 states, although In some slati-s only a few children are e n-rolle-d. At the time the statistics' were collected approximately 10.-, 400 ehldren were reported to be re eeiving this service. Dr. Romaine P. Mackie, special- ! ist in education of the physically handicapped at the Office fit Eelu-1 cation, believes that these- figures; fall far short of the actual number receiving home instruction. She also says that Ihe service is not available- to many "hundreds, per haps thousands, of other children who will re-main in the ir homes, illiterate and deprived of all either f advantages that schools offer herys j and girls." We saw something mi;;hty sweet during the holidays. A young man who had been in service for !ui years returned home to spend his hist Christinas.

Capital Letters ALL RIGHT NOW-During the gubernatorial campaign last spring the followers of Kerr Sceitl pooh poohed candidate Charles M John son's plan for a $100,000 bond issue for the building and improving of North Carolina's roads "while tin state continues to pile up a huge surplus." Now Kerr Seott says we may need an increase in the gas tax of from three to five ce-nts per gallon. He also points out that it will like ly be necessary to veite a bond issue of $200,000. Late in the campaign Charles Johnson discussed the possibility of increasing the number of men em the State Highway and Public Works Commission tei 20 men. The Scott - suppeirters yelled at this, saying it was just an attempt to provide more political jobs. Last week Scott discussed the possibility of raising the number of men on the highway commission to 30. Around and arounel (lie mulberry bush so early in the morning.

I When the "Yam" Festival held ; at Tabor City was anneiunced in , the press, I received a call from jthe Associated Press asking me , whether or not there was a differ I ence between the "yam" and the : sweet potato. 1 explained to the ; A. P. representative that there was : a difference and gave him the information he requested. So far as I am concerned, the question I answered was purely academic, j There is quite a difference between the yam and the sweet potato as you outlined in your editorial j However, the sweet potato has long been called the yam and can con I tinue to be so far as I am concern ; ed. This is also a common term 1 used in connection with the sweet ! potato in Louisiana and other sec- tions of the South. The fact re : mains, however, that they are in ' no way related. I While your people do not grow the Muscadine grape in western ! Carolina, you may be interested in j another common error.
