April 4. 1949 Lower Costs Nc doubt Haywood housewives can ap preciate the low cost of operating the County Home much better than the average man. Anv housewife knows that it is almost next to impossible to maintain a family on a dollar per day each basis. Yet that is the record of the Havwood County Home. The Haywood home's averaue cost is S30.67 per person per month, which is about Slf per month lower than the state average. There is an average of 21 persons in the home, and on that bafsis. the report was made y state officials. The county homo utilizes products of the farm, and that accounts for the large cash savings. Anvw.iv. r. a good record. The Number One Crop 1: viju want t" krmw what people arc interested in. n.s' cunt noses at a public meeting wl-.'-re a pcc-iiid subject is to be dis cussed. That was well illustrated here last week when 250 attended the meeting where specia lists discussed beef ca,ttlc. Beef cattle has long been the number one crop with Haywood farmers, as it brings in more cash income than any other one item on the farm. Then too, Haywood is especially suited to the successful raising of beef cat tle, in that the pasture land, plentiful water supply, and the ideal growing season for ;.'ia.ss. From all indications, it looks like beef cattle will bo the number one crop on Hay wood farms tm a long, long time. Miss Mary Margaret Smith Fur the pas: thirteen years Miss Mary -v'lr.rt'art-t Smith has been 'Haywood's Home Demonstration agent. She came here shotly after the loan vcars" of the early thirties, and started a program among the women of the county. Miss Smith has led a program in the coun ty that has truly help make this a better place in which to live. Last week some 2(K women of the county gathered at the court house to pay tribute to hei. and to acclaim her the "'outstanding. Woman of the county" for the year. She leaves Haywood to enter a broader field. The results of her work here will be a living tribute to her accomplishments for the past fourteen years. THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER Another Progressive Church The Aliens Creek Baptist have definite plans underway for construction of a .modern church plant. This is not surprising news, because the Aliens Creek church is the larg est Baptist church in the county, outside of Waynesville and Canton. The report for last year shows a member ship of 437: this is only less than three other Haywood Baptist churches two in Canton, and the First Baptist in Waynesville. The Aliens Creek church led the entire list of Haywood Baptist churches in gifts to hospitals last year, by giving $1,000. The church also gave $240 to the orphanage, and had a total budget of almost 89,000. The construction of the modern plant for the Aliens Creek church will no doubt give them an opportunity to continue to .grow, and increase their good work. There is a lot of good being done in church es like Aliens Creek, and our faith in the pre sent and future of this wcrld lies in the ac complishments of groups like the Aliens Creek Baptists.

Than Akv ten-year-old KID- National Publicity For the second time this year, the Alex anders of Cataloochee Ranch rtave broken into national magazines. First, it was two pages in Field and Stream, about the hog rifle shooting match last summer, and last week Juju got a full page in color in The American Magazine. The Alexanders are fast acquiring a repu tation of having something different at their dude ranch on top of Fie Top mountain, just at the front door of the Park. They know how to capitalize on the natural ad vantages, and have brought many hundreds of people to this area because of the unique place and its atmosphere. This newspaper trusts that the national publicity is just in the beginning, and that it will increase at a fast pace for many, many ".ears.

Miss Patsy Hill is selected to i participate as herald in annual I May Day fete at St. Mary's. Keeping Fishermen Busy Speed is the trend of the day, even in catching a man without a fishing license, or shooting game out of season. The Wildlife patrol has modernized their manner of apprehending violators of the game laws, by adding planes and radio to supple ment their hiking crews. Back in the "good old days (?)" a game warden's whereabouts were generally known, and would-be-violators kept up with his every move. That proceedure made it hard to catch many offenders. Now a pilot in a plane zooms across a creek, and can spot fishermen over a wide area, radio back his findings to a patrol car or crew on the ground, and direct them to the scene of violation. Such action will make illegal fishermen more observant, both on the ground and in the air. In fact, it means he'll be a pretty busy man watching his fishing, and looking over both shoulders for game protectors as well as listening for a buzzing plane overhead. Thursday and Friday of this week will mark the annual membership drive for the Chamber of Commerce. This organization is endeavoring through a well-balanced pro gram to make this a better place in which to live, and money put into such a program will be money well invested. The men and women making the drive are giving of their time without remuneration, so why not make their task easier by giving quickly and generously. , MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE GOUtD Consulting Psychologic be. And il this "anxiety" grows strong enough, it may make the victim unable, not only to enjoy life, but even to earn a living.

CHURCH ATTENDANCE GAINS Editor the Mountaineer: We pastors of the Hazelwood churches are very much delighted with the progress which is being made in our . "Church Loyalty Campaign ". The movement is tak ing on great momentum. We gained in Sunday school attendance in March, though it was only a month of preparation for the move ment which is to be'in with April. The first two Sundays in March we averaged 360 in Sunday school and 440 the last two Sundays, making an average of 400 for the month. Last Sunday some 25 people visited and gave inspirations to most of the homes in town; this will be followed up this week with cards, letters and personal visits. We will expect at least 500 in our Sunday schools next Sunday as a result of our efforts. . Another very encouraging thing is the fact that our Worship serv ices, in all of our churches, are on the increase. Then too, eight of the Deacons from one of our churches arc holding four Prayer meetings each Tuesday evening in as many of our homes. We expect resutls from this and other work which is being done. We hoDe to make a Rain of 20 in Sunday school at tendance in April. Then another 20 In May, and another in June. That would give us more than 600 average attendance, or 50 gain. Yours, M. L.
