MEMBERS Of THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AJMD THE UNITED PRESS The Associated Press and United Press are entitled ex clusively to the use for re-publication of all the local news pr.nled in this newspaper, as well as all AP and UP ae-s dispatches Thursday Afternoon. June . 1949 Rural Fire Protection Since it is an evident fact that there are many additions going up on Haywood farms, such as dairy barns, chicken houses and gen eral improvements to rural homes, it be come all the more important that this county give serious thought to a county-wide lire fighting system. In Indiana several years ago a similar campaign was launched, with a 500-gallon tank wagon being outfitted and kept ready for emergency use. The cost of the unit was paid for within six months by what it had saved the farmers of the county. It seems to us that the next forward step of cooperation between the towns of rural people would be to get together and work out details of a cooperative fire fighting sys tem. We want to stress the word "details" because such a program would involve a lot at details none so great, however, but what they could be worked out for the mutual benefit of all concerned. The towns of Haywood that have fire de partments cannot be expected to put their expensive equipment into service unless there is some guarantee of protection as they leave the city limits. In the first place, the taxpayers in the towns have bought and must maintain the cost of operating a fire department, and that would be asking too much of them to give services free. We are convinced that a cooperative plan can be worked out satisfactorily that would be the means of saving valuable property in the- vears to come. Thanks Mr. Mehjjfley Mr. Ed Mehaffey made us feel t;ood with a little note the other day, and we are happy that he takes the attitude about this news paper. Mr. MehaiTey said: "Thanks tr the many times you have served the Pigeon Valley Civic Club and the community, if every paper in North Carolina were for the good of trie common man as you are. this would in deed be the good 'Old North Sttte-".," Mr. Mehaffey we deeply appreciate your sentiments, and want to assure you, and the more than 20,000 readers of this newspaper that we are interested in the good of the people, and that is the reason we make every effort to do our part in making this county a better place to live. Right here, let us hasten to say. that the only, way we can publicize many of the good things that are being done in the county that are making this a good place to live, is to have folk let us know about them- All we need are a lew facts, and we can do the rest. When an article about a community ap pears in The Mountaineer, it is just like you sitting down and writing a letter or postal card to 20,000 people. Give us the facts, and we will pass them on to the people of Hay wood. Again. Mr. Mehaffey, thanks for your kind words, and your consistent sending in news of vour area.

There are a lot of churches in Haywood that raise money in this manner, and we ex pect there always will be many. However, we felt that the editorial of The State would be of interest to our readers, whether they agree or not, so here it is: Every time a church organization holds some kind of a social affair such as a turkey dinner, a bazaar or some similar event it advertises to the world that its members are too stingy to pay their church dues. And that, it might be added, is extremely poor advertising.

"Push" Behind The Parkway Rep. Monroe M. Redden is talking our language when he points out that plans have been completed for finishing the 3-mile sec tion of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Pisgah nest-year. The section would connect' the 5-rriile arid 3-mile sections already graded and grayeled. That section of the Parkway is right in our backyard, and as it overlooks the massive Pisgah Forest, it affords a view unsurpassed in this entire area This; 'ijeetiert is indebted to Rep. Redden and the "push" he is putting behind these projects for an early completion of the Park and Blue Ridge Parkway. A Wise Choice, Governor Governor Scott made a wise selection when he put his finger on Thomas W. Alex ander as a member of the board of Conser vation and Development. This newspaper said several weeks ago that Mr. Alexander would be an asset to the state as a member of the board, and we want to repeat our sentiments again at this time. Mr. Alexander is a trained and expert forester, in addition to being a leader in the operation of a tourist place on the top of Fie Top. In fact, he is well qualified for two reasons by his vocation, even if he were not a booster, a leader and a hard worker at any thing he undertakes. The Mountaineer feels that Governor Scott did a good day's work when he named Tom Alexander to the board that has charge of many important phases of our state work, including advertising and promotion.
