The "Forgotten State" We t.-el that North Carolina would be justified in spenc.in.u every cent asked for on education, it it would L;et just one thini, fit art-d up tor once and all time. Too many people in and about Raleigh, in cluilnu'. too many state officials, think the western state line is the French Broad River. Little do they think or remember that the North Carolina line is some 125 miles west of the French Broad. The Raleigh News and Observer in dis cussing the appointment of a successor to the late Senator Brouhton. said in typical Ral eigh linto: "Somewhere east of Asheville a future U. S. Senator. . . ' The 1940 census shows a population of 16.10411 the counties west of Buncombe, and west of the French Broad. In 1946, more than 41,270 votes were cast in the Congres sional race in these counties Haywood. Jackson. Macon. Swam. Clay. Graham. Chero kee, and Transylvania. We have not included any of Henderson or Buncombe, although a lart'e part of both counties are west of the French Broad. The officials in Raleigh always make it a point during election time to well remember that there are upward towards 50.000 votes in this "forgotten State" west of the French Broad. Ytii. we feel the money that is being asked tor the education fund will prove a good in vestment, in that those now in school may not continue to make the error their parents are making, in knowing the boundaries ol their own state. Goodbye Stray Dogs It looks like the days are numbered lor strav dogs, and their owners tace a stilt fine, according to a warning from the police department. The records show that more complaints come into the department about stray dogs man any other one thing. There is an ordi nance that points out that stray dogs must be disposed by olficeis. if the owners fail to keep them up. This is not an idle warning on the part of the police they mean business, and the busi ness they mean is to clear the streets of stiav clogs by using bullets, if necessary. MIRROR OF Can a wife try too Answer: Yes, not only for her cwb good, but eventually for her busband's, much as he may enjoy being treated as if his least wish Were her law. For living to please another person and ignoring your i feelings and needs ultimately tea inner conflicts which will bT their effect even though you doat dare let yourself be con scious of them. It is not unusual fee this tort of wife to turn into a "chronic invalid", because that sums to hex unconscious mind to bo tfao ooly way of getting the attention and consideration she's - i 1 $3.00 1.75 $4()C 2.2.1 $4 58 Elbow-Grease Where It's Needed The Waynesville Jaycees have undertaken a project that has long been needed in this community that of cleaning off and reviv ing the City Park on Fast Street. At one time, there was a lot of civic inter est shown in the park, and it had great possi bilities. The park was built as a WPA pro ject, with assistance from the Town of Way nesville, Chamber of Commerce, and if memory serves us right, the Rotary Club built the wading pool. The Jaycees are spending their Wednesday afternoons working on the park, and plan to make it an ideal place for picnics as well as recreation. Among the projects is the resurfacing- of the tennis courts, which are 19-19 YOUR MIND bard to ploa? Do school "awards" make good citizens? Answer: They have little effect, one way or the other, judging by a study of the later history of high school students in Ames, Iowa, reported in the Journal of Expert mental Education. For years it has been the practice of this school to Designed For Better Living From now until noon Saturday, the third annual appliance show will be in progress at the Armory. This year promises to bring on display, the latest in the appliance field, together with programs from specialists who know how to make for better living with the modern in ventions of man. For the past two years the show has feat ured water systems for rural farm -families. Hundreds of rural homes now enjoy the ad vantages ol water. Others will be installed this spring. Now that REA lines run into almost every nook and corner of the county, there are but few families who are deprived of the ad vantages of electricity. The full use of elec tricity, of course, is not realized until the home has an ample number of appliances. All indications are that a large crowd will be on hand to see the latest development in the electrical field, and one fine feature of the show, there's no charge for looking. sorely needed in the community. We like the manner in which the Jaycees ' have gone about this project they rolled up ' their sleeves and went to work, instead of ! doing a lot of talk, and telling others what to do. Their actions have proven their sin cere interest in the project, and their de termination will see it through. j The organization has started a good pro- j ject. and no doubt, will see it through to completion, and then we hope, they will see that it is kept up and maintained. "Uncertain Times" Bosh When a speaker starts out a talk by calling our attention to the "uncertain times" right then and there we lose all interest in what he has to say. Can any speaker point to any era in this world's history that was not "Uncertain?" Life itself is uncertain. It is uncertain just how long this world will continue to revolve around the sun. Of course, we know the average speaker is trying to impress his listeners with the fact that the future is a mystery. Certainly it is even today is a mystery. Oh yes, we are concerned about the future, but why hang crepe on something until we are positive it needs the funeral shroud? These speakers that dwell on these "un certain times" could much better afford to instill in their listeners the importance of learning to enjoy living today, and get the most out of life, and then no matter what the morrow brings, one will be better prepared to take the joys or sadness as it comes. Sure, these are "uncertain times ', but what are you going to do about it? Your worry won't help. And doctors are, too busy to treat any more ulcerated stomachs. By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist, give "efficiency certificates" to pu pils who showed qualities thought likely to make them good citizens, but the records of recipients of these awards over some twenty years showed "no outstanding dif ference" between them and their classmates. Like charity, good cit izenship "begins at home." AMERICAN 0 CBncc Con yew volunteer to help the mentally ill? Answer: Yes, though so far the only specific opportunity is with patients in the Veterans Adminis tration Hospitals. I am told that in each Area Office of the Amer ican Red Cross, arrangements have been made to enroll and train applicants for Voluntary Service in Federal Hospitals, and there surely is no group of people to whom your interest and help will mean more than the too often forgotten mental casualties of two World Wars. If you have been looking for a really worthwhile way to spend your spare time, it is right here. .- - - . - "I i Thell Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo THE MESvE OF THAT gUR6LAR-fifi I So-HE80(J6HT Sfe ' HE WANTED FiFT DOLLARS BjejSffl A SAW FOR THREE SM.

Editor The Mountaineer: If 1 understand the purport of Senator Byrd's letter in your issue of March 8. he means to instruct the voters of North Carolina on how their representatives in Con gress should be instructed to vote. Senator Byrd it seems is all for economy in matters pertaining to social welfare. That I suppose goes for education too the kind of economy that has put Virginia schools next to the bottom on the national list. I note that Senator Byrd did not hesitate to vote for the 70-group air force in the 80th Congress, an economy under which it was proposed to shovel specie from the National Treasury into freight cars for the benefit of six super-colossal airplane factories. Senator Byrd, however, is con sistent; throughout the course of his long public career he has al ways been against everything in the interest of the plain people.
