MARCH 15. 1949 A (Gratifying Report A moilem, well-nuinauecl hospital is a dis tinct a-set to any community. The average citizen spends little time in a hospital, and yives but little thought to their existence until he needs the facilities. When such a time comes he wants the best. Vv'e were impressed with the major im provements that have been made at the Hay wood County Hospital. The improvements seem to have also reflected in the attitude of the personnel of the institution, which has the deep and earnest desire to be of service to those entrusted m their care. While there is still some work to be done, the projects are well underway, and should be completed within a few weeks. One of the best things to be accomplished, is the establishment of an isolation ward, where patients with contaueous diseases can be given medical care, add yi-t not expose other patients. The financial report of the institution is a matter that should be appreciated by every citizen of the comm. It is gratify in.L to know that the institution pushed out of the red last year, even to the point of paying off the 1947 deficit, and still had a substan tial balance left. This substantial balance, of some $8,000 will not go far, however, in making all im provements and replacing all the things that are needed in the hospital. However, it will help. All those connected with the operation of the hospital are to be commended for the progress that has been made, andthe goals they have set for the coming years. More Good Music Coming Tins looks like a full week for music lovers of this community. On Thursday night the North Carolina Little Symphony will give their annual con cert, after giving one for students at two o'clock. This event is always looked on as a highlight by those who love good music. Then oi Friday night, the second of a series of the community concerts will be held, featuring William Schatzkamer. Ameri can pianist of note. While it is unfortunate that both concerts fell so close together, we predict the pro grams will be long remembered in this count v. Net Quite 100 Per Cent Devoted Td: Promotion Of Tourists This newspaper was interested in the dis cussion of the high school students last week, , as they gave their views on heir weekly, radio forum about the Chamber' of Com merce. Their position on civic matters was well expressed, as well as timely. It was interesting to note how each dwelt on the tourist angle of activity for the Cham ber of Commerce. We think those students are typical of 99 out of each 100 citizens, in feeling that the Chamber of Commerce is solely a tourist promotion agency. In checking over a list of activities, and projects promoted last year, we found that far more attention was given to agriculture than to tourists. Of course, last year's polio epidemic entered into the picture and brought j about some of that condition. j The Chamber of Commerce has a big job j to do, and we are of the opi .ion that the directors will remember the arguments of the students as the regular monthly meeting is held tonight.

This imported milk cost $5,500,000 last year, according to the official statement, as issued by C. W. Pegram. of the department. Another fact that is worthy of serious consideration is that last year more milk was imported than the year before. It appears that North Carolina has learned to drink miik faster than to produce it. And that should be encouraging news for those entering the dairying field. n( 'em out a vlv 1 R it im TulP hDFSSIW DOOM" TWO d.wai MAUAfiEBS ARE MURDER1N6 EACH OTHER OVER A BUSINESS DEAlw J WHAODyA MEAN, A0 1 Rambling 'Rr nWc nf Human tntpri TSlAUe II.I... i Of The Moun(in, c. y K iiuii Looking Back Over The Years .1.

Climbing Towards The Top The expansion program for 4-H Clubs in Haywood is good news to everyone, be cause that means mine members, and more boys and girls will be taught better ways of homemaking and farming. Haywood has always ranked high in the work of 4-H clubs, and with this expansion program, the erection of the summer camp here, and increased activities, should put this county at the top of the work in the entire state. Construction Costs Dropping The trend in building costs is steadily downward, according to the facts found by the Medical Care Commission of this state. Two weeks ago bids for hospitals ran 810,700 per bed for a 100-room hospital. This week bids for the same size hospital in Lenoir brought bids of an even S10.000 per bed. in cluding equipment. Three weeks ago a Laurinburg hospital contract went tor SI 1.000 per bed. In three weeks, the downward trend reflects a differ ence of $100,000 on similar buildings. Mother Nature Has Last Word Mother Nature is going to put on her own show when she pleases, and without regard for any man made plans. Down in Summer ville. S. C. elaborate plans were made for a Camellia show for March 5 and 6. Ordi narily this would have been the ideal dates. The flowers bloomed early, and are now gone. The show has been cancelled. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Do you think motorists should have to stand an examination for their driver's license every few-years? Charles Metcalfe: Yes. I think it would be a good idea il they had to tiike them every year as even the best drivers night develop trouble with their eyes or hearing. It oi ly takes a short time to take this tes and it is well worth the t ime. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE GOtfLD Consulting Psychologist miles from salt water seemed to show they finally found then; way to the ocean by trial and error, not by "instinct." The experimen ters say there's no proof that birds possess a "sense of direction" or are sensitive to the "magnetic field" of the earth. They appear to steer themselves by landmarks, as a man does. Mrs. C. F. Kirkpatrick: No. I 'should not think it would be neces i sarv, ! Fred Walston: 1 think it would be a good idea to do so. It would i go a long wavs toward wiping out incompetent drivels . . . those who get careless would be reminded to be mole careful' j Tempfeton Leckey: It seems as though every ten yeais would be all right, exct pi after about sixty. , Vision, hearing and alertness are apt to be impaired as the driver grows older. M. T. Bridges: Definitely, yes. There is a tendency to change traf fic laws which would ailed the driver. Also any eye. ear or mus cular deficiency might develop that would have its effect on the driv er's ability to handle Hie car. Charles F. Miller: No. I do not think it necessary. In my opinion the change should be made in the age limit, and not allow drivers of fifteen, sixteen, etc., to handle a car. Youths have a tendency to be reckless, not realizing that a car can be a dangerous weapon, when carelessly handled. Mrs. Johnny Ferguson: There should be some sort ' a system for renewal, but not necessarily an examination. Paul Davis: There should be some soil of a supervisory exam ination. I do not think the laws at present ate adequate. r.mmelt r.jlcntinr: Yes. I do.

STILL SHORT?-- About a year ago now, armed only with worlds of courage and $2,500 ui refund from his income taxi, Kerr Scott set out to become Governor of North Carolina. He employed Charlie Parker as publicist at $75 per week and set up offices in the Carolina Hotel. The first few weeks were "pure misery", according to the Governor. Scott spent thousands of dollars of his own ami relatives' cold cash during the campaign. If he seems a little bellicose at limes, it may be due to the tardiness of Ihe Demo crats in helping the man who car ried the flag for them in last fall's political parade recoup the person al financial losses be and his Haw River folks sustained in last year's battles. Nobody knows how much the Scot I family is in 'Ae hole, for no big money rolled to Scott's headquarters. It came in driblets, most of the money boys being on the other side of (he fence.
