A Helping Hand
Last January Haywood County citizens
generously responded to the March of Dimes
call, and "subscribed over $20,000 to the Na
tional Infantile Paralysis fund. All of the
money was given for the fight against the
dreaded disease, and for covering expenses
Li those already afflicted.
This past week, the National Foundation
sent Haywood officials a check for S4.900
lor meeting expenses of a number from the
county in hospitals receiving treatment.
Beekman Huger and Dave Hyatt, co-chairmen
of the county, point out that there is
some likelihood that even the $4,900 will
not be sufficient to carry the program
throughout the remainder of the year.
This just proves once again thai Haywood
has been given a severe blow by polio, and
that the aftermath lingers on. This county
has in the years past, as is mo case un eu.
received far more from the National Founda
tion than was given.
It is not the fault of anyone that Hay
wood has a heavy load to carry in combat
ting and paying for polio patients. It is just
circumstances.
This newspaper is happy that Haywood
has always given generously, and that there
is in America a foundation that comes to
the rescue of communities like this to give
i,ninm,i konr) uihpn tlit occasion arises

The prayers of the citizens of Haywood
are that all the nation will be spared of the
dreaded disease this summer, and that all
those affected will soon fully recover.
Haywood Streams Need Attention 1
In the scope of a few short hours, Mother
Nature eroded hundreds of acres of valuable
farm land in this county last Wednesday
night and Thursday.
Creeks and rivers were filled to overflow
ing with water thick with silt that had
washed in from farms in almost every sec
tion of the county.
The soil conservation program that has
been underway in Haywood for many years
held back an unestimable amount of valu
able soil during the -heavy rains, and the
flash floods.
The grassed pastures, and the wooded
hillsides that only a few years ago stood
bare, withstood the onslaught of Mother
Nature, and held firm.
There still remain several projects of flood ;
control that need our immediate attention, j
Some projects were inaugurated after the
two devastating floods of 1940, which in-'
eluded deepening of stream channels, and .
straightening of sharp curves in some
streams. I
It seems that it is time for the federal
flood control board to deepen the channel
of the Pigeon River, and for the highway
department to build a largr opening in the j
fill where the highway No. 276 crosses at j
Bethel. This spot has always given trouble, '
in that the water is held back by the fill. I
Garland Ferguson, former head of flood I Hgh men ,n fii.s( pi.illlal.y wlll in j
control on the Mississippi, once told his second primary to determine nom- i
fellowtownsmen here, that the only way to ' inees of Democratic party in this I
prevent floods was to get the water away im,n -
fast and that advice is exactly the type ' Felix stovaii is remodeling build- j

Citizens of Clyde are making every effort

The case has been presented to the State
Utilities Commission, and in due time, the
decision will be announced. In similar cases
of this type, the decision did not come until
about six months later.
The citizens of Clyde cited numerous in
stances where the lack of depot facilities
caused them inconvenience and extra ex
penses in receiving and making freight ship
ments. The Southern Railway on the other hand
contended that revenue was not sufficient
to warrant the depot being kept open.

The Center of the Area
On numerous occasions, we have pointed
out in these columns that Haywood is fast
becoming known as the center of Western
North Carolina. The Chamber of Commerce
for many years has used a slogan, "Hay
wood, the Heart of Progressive Western
North Carolina."
Further proof that this county is the center
of the area, is the establishment of the dis
trict State Bureau of Investigation office
here. The office will serve eight counties
of Western North Carolina.
This newspaper welcomes S. B. I. Agent
P. Be, .iicrikn.'who is already well known in
Haywood.
It is a matter of satisfaction to know that
he will make this his headquarters, as well
as his home.

milk and milk products.
Today, some 60 million quarts of milk
are set on the porches of dairy customers
throughout the land, representing an in
crease of 14 per cent over the years prior
to World War II. But we are still not using
enough milk in this country, for it is pos
sible for dairy farmers to produce more
milk. In fact, in some areas there is a surplus
of milk now.
Many folks do not like milk, as milk, but
it is possible to use it in many dishes which
are tasty to anyone's palate. Those folks
who are not using milk in some form are
making a mistake, for milk is a food that
provides those food values which the body
must have.
It will be a fine way to give the proper
emphasis to Dairy Month.
