Thursday Afternoon. May 19. 1949 Black Gold On Blackberry Bushes It looks like Mother Nature, together with O. P. Crews of the Cannery, are Joint; their part to make it a profitable sprint; for those who want to make some easy cash on the bide. The Cannery wants .'!0fl tons of blackber ries. According to the blackberry blooms, there will be a bumper crop in the county. Picking blackberries offers a profitable in come in that there are no expenses involved. We recall several years prior to the war, that many a dollar was earned through pick ing blackberries. Later when work became more plentiful everywhere, the picking of berries decreased, and last year the amount of berries was hardly enough to warrant the cannery yetttine; up steam in the boilers. It looks like here is a a.on opportunity to convert a little energy into some ;;ood cash. Citizens Should Get Facts The organization which ws completed here last Saturday rooming for sponsoring the program of better schools and roads, are showing a lot of enthusiasm over the coming bond election on June fourth. The group which organized here last week, take the position that this is the opportune time to get better schools and roads, and that this county stands to benefit materially from the program, because of the foundation which has been laid for the roads, and the urgent need for better school facilities. There is a lot of opposition to the road pro gram from those in larger cities. The rural counties, such as Haywood, have more to gain, since a large percent of the citizens live in the country. H. A. Osborne, who heads the committee in this county, is of the opinion, that the , farmers will decide the issue, and thus decide ' whether they are to stay in the mud, or ap prove the bonds and get paved roads. The committee is anxious that the people get the facts, and not depend upon rumors which have already been circulating freely. The bill, as explained by Rep. Grover C. Davis, sets forth the fact that $1,890,000 would be spent on secondary roads' in Haywood county, if the plan is approved. This amount has been established by law, and cannot be changed. A similar situation holds true as to the schools. Haywood will get almost $500,000 under the school program, which according to school authorities, is about half of the amount needed to completely bring the Hav wood school building program up to date. It is the duty of every citizen to get the tacts in this case, as in every matter of civic nature. There are many who continue to trv to argue that $200 millions is too much to spend on roads. Tbatpart of the discussion was thrashed out in the General Assembly, and after much debate, the $200 million fig ure was decided upon, and that is what the voters will have to determine on June 4th.

Calif. Commencement -This week will mark the beginning of com mencement exercises for many ol the high schools in Haywood county. Within another week, most of the schools will bring to a close a successful year. This year moved along smoothly, without any serious interruption, other than the de lay in opening caused by polio. Throughout the year, the weatherman was very generous, in that there was not any serious bad weather during the year, and epidemics which always hang heavily over the heads of school officials passed over Hay wood schools, except for the usual "run" of measles and mumps. Everyone can look back over the past 280 days of school as having met with a high degree of success from every angle. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Competent Leaders !

As we have said time and time again, Hay wood has acquired the reputation over the years for supporting all worthwhile projects, wfiether it be in financial contributions, blood, time or energy. Those in charge of the blood bank here are to be congratulated for the manner in which the program was staged, and the ulti mate result. farm men and women The leaders of the Haywood County Farm Development program have long been out in front in .progressive programs for the bet terment of the rural life of the county. Now they have shouldered even greater responsi bilities, and we are confident that they will ' do the job in a successful manner. Haywood is fortunate in having so many people who are competent, and willing to take on the leadership of such projects as this community development program. Not a single one of the officers will get any more out of the program than those who are not officers, yet they will devote many hours a week of iheir time to promoting and plan ning the program for the county as a whole. Mrs. II. V. Burnette: "The re modelling of the business places along Main Street made up Waynesville's biggest improve ment. I believe." Raymond Bailey: "It's a little hard to say. But the most notice able improvement has been in the remodelling of stores and store fionts in the business section.
