The center nt the park is the ()U by 10 toct modern concrete swimmm;; pool, elaborate bath house and relrc:;linn'iit stand. The memorial park is costm;: ST.j.DOO and is being paid lor by bonds vnted by the citi zens ot Canton some months ;il'i. This park is one of the many "post-war" projects which so manv cninniur.itics talked about during the war. but did little about alter the war. Canton, however, is in that minority group that DID something about a recreation center. Since this is the first oi its kind in Hay wovid, the remainder ol the cnuntv will be watching with unusual interest as the park is opened and the citizens of Canton :ot to enjoy it. and realize a dream come true. Cause For Optimism North Carolinians, in whoe memories the infantile paralysis epidemic of last summer is still fresh, will have more than a pam.u interest in the prediction of Alton L. Blakes lee. the noted science writer, that the con quest of the much-feared disease is now with in siijht. "No one can predict just when the victory" will come, or in what way," writes Mr. Dlak-c.-loe in a pamphlet just published boariiv.; the title. Polio Can Be Conquered, "but medi cal "science is making such progress that there is real cause for optimism." Since the war against polio was intensi fied in the ninteen thirties, progress in treat ment has been so t;reat that only 10 to 1(1 per cent of the victims of the disease are now "leit more or less severely handicapped." Mr. 1 1-ihtleslee adds that 40 to 60 per cent of the luidivn or adults who yet the illness in R o;'inzabh form will recover completely,, i almost completely, without any visible evi- iter.ee of paralysis. ; Scientific study of means for preventing the disease admittedlv has been slower, but some lecent developments carry t;reat promise. For one tiling, saws Mr. Blakeslee. monkeys have been inoculated against polio safely and el- ! lertively, but unfortunately the vaccine doe ; not protect the monkeys against all strains ! ot the virus, and thus could not oiler satis- i factory protection for humans.

One important handicap remaining to j hamper the battle against polio is the lack ol knowledge about the way the disease spreads. But enough is known to justify several precautions which cannot be too often repeated. Keeping children from becoming overtired or chilled, keeping them out of pol luted waters, seeing that they follow rules of personal cleanliness, keeping garbage cover ed and the house screened against flies, ami avoidance of crowds when the disease strikes in epidemic form all these precautions can help immensely in curtailing the ravjtj.-es of polio. And as Mr. Blakeslee also stroM.es in his pamphlet, it will always pay to watch for i aily symptoms such as pains or stiffness in muscles, fever, headache, nausea, upset, stomach, headache or tired feeling, and con sult a physician in time Scientists are nrmirmlichinrr .,,if..i ! would yw v us an opportunity lo 10 YEARS AGO Much inlertsl is attached o the announcement of the engagement ol Miss Eliahelli Garrett to Her- ! lici t J'.r.-. rcn o!

Miss Truman Coming to WCTC From The Sylva Herald we learn that Margaret Truman is to give a conceit at Western Carolina Teachers College at Cullo whee on October sixth. Miss Truman is being brought to WCTC by the Lyceum Committee of the College. This is her only concert scheduled for North Carolina, the next nearest being Atlanta. The group in charge of blinking Miss Truman to WCTC announced tli.it about 500 seats would be available to the public; the remainder of the auditorium will be taken by students of the college. This newspaper has no fear but what every available seat will be sold long in advance 'd Miss Truman's conceit. There are several reasons for us making this statement, but first and foremost, there are more lovers cf good music in this area than in most sections of similar size in America. i J. II.

Smithfield Herald. 1 u Clyde Votes Tuesday The voters of Clyde go to the polls Tues day and name their city officials for a two year term of office. No doubt there will be a big vote cast in the election, as Clyde is a civic-minded town and takes its elections and affairs of the town seriously. And that is just as it should be. Too often citizens ol a town are prone to wash their hands of civic matters, and leave them alone, but that is not for the best interest of any community. The entire county will be watching Clyde's voters with a source of pride and interest tomorrow. Wis. M. (i.

Answer: Not directly. There are people whose dreams are elab orate "stories" even "serials, continued for months or years ia which they take no part except as spectators. But they actually appear in these dreams ia the ICeprrieht. 194S, tit trwfrtffcWjl Do psychologists "know all the answers"? Answer: Certainly not. And no one is more painfully aware of it than they are. For example, while we know that everyone's charac ter is primarilj the result of his reaction to the way his parents treat him, especially in his first years, no one knows why one child reacts differently from another to what seems like the same sort of treatment I knew four sons of a drunken and sadistic father, three of whom left home young and were relatively normal, while the fourth stayed, and was driven in saA by repressed fear and hatred. I don't know why. Views of Other Editors INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY It is a tather startling fact that the State Motor Vehicle Depart ment revoked a total of 1230 driv ing Tie. nses during last month, and that of that number 722 were due to convictions for drunken driving. Their is some consolation per haps in the comparison with last year. In April, 1948, there were 1.914 revocations, of which 859 were for drunken driving. How ever, the number of revocations, .ind the percentage for drunken driving is still too high. The fig represent only those who , were caught in traffic violations, jnr while driving under the inu 'ence of liquor. An automobile in the hands of a reckless or drunken : driver can truly be a deadly J weapon. j North Carolina will not greatly reduce its record of traffic accl i dents and fatalities until the mo toring public assumes individual responsibility for observing traffic regulations and sobriety at the steering wheel. Many accidents are. for one reason or another, unavoidable, but the majority can be traced to recklssmM imt i- I responsibility Morganton News Herald, BY i ncij: ABK L'NCLE ARE, BABY-SETTER ' Cryin' babies mot wet). 40c.
