April 21. 1949 A Fond Farewell To Mules I am made dud and sad by a bit of news. 1 read where the farm machinery people predict tli.it Southern farmers will cut the number of farm animals from the 1935-39 a vera. t;e bv 34 per cent. As an example of the drop, an estimated 2.000.000 mules and horses will disappear from Southern farms this year. That makes me dad and sad . I am dad because the mule-drawn plow is about finished as an economic competitor. A man with a mule and plow can't compete on equal terms with a man driving a tractor. The man with a one-horse wagon is out of luck trying to u'et things from fields to barns anl from barns to markets when competing a-Jamst a man with trucks. Nevertheless this makes me sad. "belongs" to a farm. He "belongs'' int.1. the wav ham belongs to eggs. fondness for mules. A mule has got more sense than most folks. He has got more sense than a horse, a fact which the horse people dispute with no suc cess. The horse people say the mule is orn ery, which he is. The mule is folks. H will not kill himself as will a horse, pulling a heavy load. If it is too heavy, the mule knows it and won't pull it. The horse will kill himself trying. The mule is too much hke man ornery, stubborn, friendly, willing, a worker that people love him. Folks sort of feel a kinship with a mule. So I hope that as progress keeps progress ing some place will be found for the mule. The farm won't look the same without his leering, grinning, cynical face peering over the barnyard fence or out of a stall. Ralph McGill in the Atlanta Constitiftion. A mule to plow I have a Contentment In Practice Ve never expect to see or hear of anyone bettering the record of A. H. M. Rogers o! tints Creek. Mr. Rogers has lived in the siirie house for 93 years. Tins 99-year-old man truly represents the era of contentment. -and satisfaction. In this present, fast-moving world, few people are satisfied to stay very long in any one place. They want to be up and going; changing, moving about. The contented and satisfied life seems to have agreed with Mr. Rogers. If nothing hap pens, he will observe his 99th birthday in July. An event these never-satisf jed people never iet to fulfill. Life Js , Gutting Too Cprnplieated It seems the more civilized we get the more complicated the business of living be comes. Those of us who wearily rush hither and thither in our almost frantic efforts to earn just a little more money than the other fel low, wear just a little better dothes and drive just a little bigger car, will tell one another how hard life must have been back in the days of our parents and, grandparents; of what har. ships they faced without all the modern conveniences of today. And the funny part is. we actually believe that we are much more fortunate. But we wonder.

He had no worries about a new casting rod. or whether his reel was j workinu properlv. He didn't fuss about with laney flies and lures, including artificial grasshoppers and feathertipped thingama bobs supposed to resemble a minnow. And he didn't have to make sure that he had a fishing license, costing several dollars, in his pocket in event a game warden came by. He just sat and fished, and we have no doubt that his catch was just as large and as satis factory as that of the present day nimrod who cannot even go fishing these days without an investment of from $25.00 to $50.00 for modern equipment. In those days. too. the fisherman didn't have to worry about nearly so many things as we do today, as he idly lounged upon the bank.

There are other things that are beginning to show definite results from the program. While these are not as tangible as the dairy barns, they will be just as important in iheir respective fields. We have said time and time again, and repeat, that the community development program will have a far-reaching effect on all Haywood in the immediate present, and for many, many generations to come.

It had been five months since a death had resulted from an accident on Haywood high ways, until the untimely death of a 5-year-old child in Canton last week-end. Up to this time, there had been 12 persons injured in wrecks on the highways of the county, which is a little less than last year lor the same period. There has been a lot of educational work done about safety on the highways, and there still remains a lot to.be done. In fact, the program must be carried on as long as there are highways and anything to operate on them. E. Miller Ingram: like the idea."

Answer: Yes, though these may differ a good deal in different people. The main symptom of be ing "in love" an emotional dis turbance which it is more accurate to call the "love neurosis" is what Freud called "the over-valuation of the beloved object," and another writer, "an insane exag geration of the difference between one person and all others."

Answer, No. The fears that keep you in your rut and tie frustra i tions they impose upon you will be the cause of your breakdown if you have one. There are people who can live what seems to others .a completely humdrum -life and feel no "nervous strain" whatever because they have found out bow to get the satisfactions they need from their united existence.

IN THE HOLE The belief here is that the average member of the Legislature has lost in cold cash approximately $1,000 through serv ing the people this session. This does not include the money he has lost in being away from his regular work. Put yourself in his position: Suppose you had to leave your law practice, your medical practice, your school room, or whatever you are doing, for about four months. Not only have the legislators not drawn a cent of pay for about six weeks now,. they have been forced to rent a room here, eat out con stantly, and at the same time main tain their residence back home. Well, you might say some of the legislators get money from corpor ations, etc., for voting a certain way. This charge has often been made, but has never been substan tiated. One fine man who now lives in Haleigh and who has been a member of the Legislature and close to the Legislature for 20 years says he has never known and never heard of one legislator's hav ing accepted one cent for bis vole back office ink Secretary TWM eomlnrtable all ; a" I '.(! alcuhofc , side tell of I hi m . .
