there are bound to creep errors. The tax
valuation records are no exception. That is
the reason the board of commissioners will
sit as a body to hear all complaints and to
correct any things that need correcting.

A Bigger And Better Jail
Canton has a modernized city jail, and a
tor police court. 1 nis pio
hc minds of Canton officials
several weeks ago work
am
what
to
new court room
jei-t lias been in t
lor main' ve;
was starteil.
According to our Canton reporter, the new
lail will provule '-better hospitality" for a
greater number of law-breakers. That covers
in -i iieri nit ive manner, the storv
Canton officials had in mind, in addition
"salety."
The time has come when just makeshift
jails are no longer practical. It is not that
our communities have any desperate crimi
nals, but one never knows when one will
be nabbed while "passing through" a town.
If memory serves us right, Canton officials
caught two dangerous men some time back
--in fact the men got o0 years each from
Judge Sink, at a recent term of court here.
The men were "passing through" when they
were caught. It takes a good jail to hold
such men. and often it is not convenient nor
too practical for Canton officers to bring such
men to the county jail.
Maybe when word gets out that the jails
m Haywood are the last-word in moderniza
tion, that visiting criminals will make a wide
path around, or be mighty careful as they
lu though. Let us hope so.
Another U0ver-The-T6'p" Story
Just as we predicted several weeks ago, the
Hoy Scout adult membership drive in Hay
wood would meet the quota. Down in Canton
i'2.171 was raised, and up here more than
si.rio. .
The Rotary club here, as the Exchange
Club in Canton sponsored the drive, and saw
it to completion.
In addition to raising the money here, with
the assistance of the public in general, the
Rotary Club plans to donate a modern canoe
to the Scout camp on Pigeon river. The canoe
will be bought in time for the Scouts to enjoy
this season.
Haywood does not have as many Scouts as
do some other counties, but it seems the aver
age Scout and adult leader does a high-type
of work, which is a commendable phase of
our citizenship.

A Big One That Did Not Get Away j
The 3,'i1 2-inch trout caught by Max Rogers :
early this week, will no doubt create more
"fisherman's fever" than anything that has
happened in that field of sports in many a
day.
The silverly looking fish, weighing more i
than 14 pounds, is the envy of everv fisher
man, and would-be-fisherman. Now that
Rogers has proved there are still big ones
around, we imagine that more and more 1
followers of Ike Walton will be taking to i
the streams and lakes.

VOICE
OF THE
PEOPLE
What do you consider the most
pressing need of the Girl Scout
program in the llazelwood-Way-nesville
area? (These answers
given by members of the Ilazcl-wood-Waynesville
Girl Scout Council.)
A Program For Development
This week the Girl Scouts are observing
their 37th birthday that's a long time in
the realm of things for women, because so
lew ever admit when they have reached
their ."!7th birthday.
Girl Scouting has come a long ways. It
has developed into one of the organizations
that means for the completion, or well-rounding
of the educational program of any girl
todav. The things girls learn in Scouting
aie not taught elsewhere. The teachings are
beneficial, not only for training minds, and
muscles now. but in the years to come, these,
puis will continue to benefit by what they
learn today as Scouts.
While Girl Scouting has not acquired the
! '!( membership of Boy Scouts, we have
always been impressed by the high quality
i,t work, and the program of development
which is beim.' done bv the adult leaders.
It Was Another Scout
Several weeks ago The Mountaineer com
mented on the splendid idea then in progress
in Cherokee county, of planting dogwood. Mrs. W. K. Chapman- "Active
trees. Through error, we gave credit for this j participation of troop sponsors and
, . . r c . r hi i t, 'parents in the Girl Scout program,"
fine project to the Boy Scouts ot Murphy. It
was another good scout The Cherokee Scout. : Mrs. Howard Myall "Repairs
the enterprising paper published bv Missi'-""1 ,hc ;l(,dilio" f heat to
, i it , , ' Hut
AtKiie .viae l ookc.
We are sorry we got our scouts mixed.
Anyway, our error must have inspired
Cherokee countians on to plant more dog
woods, the record is now about 400 trees
planted this spring.

FEELING LOW If you are a
friend of Kerr Scott, now is the
time to show it. for your Governor
is in pretty low spirits. He is keep
ing a bright face for company,
but privately he is in a sad mood.
For more than two months now
he has wrestled with the Legisla
ture, but as of last Saturday the
Governor was not a happy man.
He has blessed out the members
of his law-making body; he has
asked them for advice: he has had
all of them and their wives
around to the Mansion; he has
spent long and tiresome hours in
quiet discussions with the leaders
of the Legislature and with the
npiiroris. of the opposition; he has
virtually filled Memorial Auditori
um here on three separate occa
sions with voters; he has employed
the radio and the press to carry
forth his ideas; but nothing has
seemed tij work.
SORRY FOR HIM He i.s like a
stranger in a strange land, like a
farmer whose best rabbit hound
has died, whose hogs are sick with
cholera, and whose children have
come down with the whooping
cough. Kerr Scott is not the type
ol man to feel sorry for, but
his friends ami some of his ene-
mie; - wer,. fooling sorry for him
as he finished the i ihlli round
barely hanging on the ropes last
Saturday.

If "changing your mind" a sign of weakness?
Answer: Inability to make deci
sions and stick to them indicates .a
childish fear of being made to
take the consequences of your ac
tions. But a willingness to modify
or change your opinions in the
light of further thought or infor
mation Is the mark of a., mature
mind. Recently an eminent psy
chiatrist asked me to read a paper
written several years ago, but
said: "I would like to look-it over
fltrst and sec if I still believe all I
said in it." And a clergyman oflce
told .me: "I can never preach a
sermon that is more than two
jrsars olf." '
Des inson suspicion tend to
center on food?
Answer: The idea that their
food is being poisoned is one of
the commonest forms of the "de
lusioni of persecution" from
which certain types of insane pa
tients suffer. In the new (East)

Do people . reolJy di because
they want to?
Answer: It would be more accu
rate to say that death comes
sooner if the basic will to live is
weakened. But Freud maintained
that the will to live is always op
posed by a more or less uncon
scious "death urge," which may
be. identified with the impulse to
stop struggling and slip back into
the peace and inactivity we knew
before we were born. The relative
strength of these two urges may
be an important factor In deciding
how long anyone will live for
there certainly are people .whose
survival seems .due solely to un
shakeabie determination.
NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT
In 1945-46. North Carolina spent
4t cents a day to educate each
pupil in average daily attendance
upon the schools.
Only five slates in Ihe entire na
fion spend less than that amount
each day per pupil, but North
Carolina's cheapness is nothing to
brag about.
It's about like !he school trans
porfation system. The cheap angle
is sfresv-ed while the services and
near tragic conditions are left out
of the picture.
When North Carolina provides
the best advantages and parents
see that their children take advan
tage of the opportunities, there'll
be nothing to worrv about. Rut
