Got To poller Louder
The Chamber of Commerce has launched
a plan to maintain an information booth at
the intersection of Highways 284 and 19,
in an effort to divert east-bound traffic from
the Park into Waynesville.
Motorists coning from Soco Gap to
Waynesville often fail to see No. 284 as it
turns off Xo. 19. The roads meet at right
angles, and unless one is careful, it is easy
to drive past the intersection.
The Chamber of Commerce is working
out plans of getting volunteers to maintain
the booth during the time when traffic is the
heaviest.
Unless the booth is made unusually con
spicuous, it will suffer the same trouble as
the road, which is hard to see any distance.
Sooner or later the Chamber of Commerce
will have to erect a large overhead sign
similar to the one on Main Street, and light
it at night to attract attention and help divert
traffic to this communitv.
Costly Fight
Although polio cases in North Carolina
this year are far below totals for the same
period in 1948, in the nation as a whole the
destructive disease is claiming an even
greater toll this year than last. The National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis reports
that 2,309 polio cases have been reported to
date this year, compared to 1.697 for a similar
period last year. '
Since January 1, 38 polio cases have been
reported to the State Board of Health. Last
year, the number of cases in mid-June in
North Carolina totaled 423.
It is to be hoped that these statistics in
other parts of the country do not mean that
there will be a recurrence of an epidemic
which last year produced 27,658 cases. The
National Foundation, of course, cannot pro
ceed on hopes and at the same time polio
totals for this year were released, Founda
tion Director Basil O'Connor announced a
$2,000,000 appropriation for polio research
and professional education.
North Carolinians should bear in mind the
fortunate position the State occupies this year
W4i1i'y an opportunity to contr'ib
ut'e mohev' to'the polio fight. It is a 'figfit
that requires money, but no cost is too high
if the answer to the crippling and fatal
malady can be found.

ust a Temporary Conxion
A headline in the Thursday edition of this
newspaper pointed out that Haywood is lag
ging in the purchase of savings bonds.
This certainly is news.
Haywood has always maintained a record
of meeting its bond quotas, and now that
they are lagging makes the facts news in
Haywood. "". """
We are not so depressed by the news,
however, as we feel it is a temporary con
dition that will clear up, and Haywood will
again resume its position at the top.
Dangerous People
A total of 581 persons lost their licenses to
drive during June' following convictions of
drunken' driving,' bringing ''to 3,560 the "num
ber who have lost their licenses from this
cause since January 1, the North Carolina
Department of "Motor Vehicles has reported.
The same report also stated the total driver
licenses revocations for Jfuhe was 802. Drunk
en driving convictions for June topped by
more than 100 the number losing their driving
licenses in Jfune, ltf48,'wlferi 479 persons were
found guilty of driving while drunk in North
Carolina.
This is not intended as a lecture on drink
ing but we do see in these figures some good
work being done by the State Highway Patrol
and other law enforcement officers'. A person
who has been .drinking intoxicants and' is
driving a motor- vehicle while under the in
fluence of 'tile intoxicants ' is a "dangerous
person "and shbulcl'lJe'treatecl 'as such"."

The Annual Assembly of Masons
t
The annual summer Assembly of the
Grand Council of Royal and Select Master
Masons are again guests of the community.
Down through the years tjiis community
has looked forward (o the summer assembly
of the Masons, their annual trek to Black
Camp Gap, and to the Masonic marker built
of stone from all ayer the world, as well as
the other ' features of entertainment which
are held.
Haywood is the ideal spot for the Masons
to hold their summer Assembly. We say that
for several reasons: (1) this is an ideal spot
to vacation in the summer; (I) this county
is Known far and wicfe for its interest in
Masonry, and many of the local Masons
have made outstanding records.
T$e Masons of jlorth Carolina have always
found a hearty welcome awaiting them here,
ancf 'this jear it is even warmer, because we
have been privileged to know more and more
of t(iem.
