August 4. 1949 Two Extremes According to our Raleigh coi -respondent, things are not so rosy in Raleiuh with the state finances. Predictions are that the state will soon be spending over $50,000 per day more than the income, not counting the school and road bonds. This deficit is based on early indica tions and reflects the condition of the general lund. This news conies riuht at the time when Governor Scott is pushing hard to stop unnecessary spending on the part of state employees that is. little, useless things, such as additional travel, and extra meals, and the like. The two matters e;o hand in hand. If the income is goiiiL; to be lower, then certainly the expenses, and above all. the unnecessary expenses should be abolished entirely. Public sentiment and economy-minded taxpayers welcome such a plea from the Governor, but feel he is inconsistent in that he is a "free spender." according to our Raleigh correspondent's appraisal of the matter. In the column on this paue today, the charge is made that hundreds of dollars are being spent while efforts are being made to save a postage stamp. $1,000 a Day fot Chanty The Haywood County board of commis sioners have been wrestling for several weeks with the annual budget. On Monday they announced their decisions the largest budget in the history of the county, calling for more than a million dollars, with the tax rate the same, as last year, $1.50 per $100 valuation. The Haywood board met with the same problem that has confronted every other board in the state a decided increase in the charity funds. While the county does not have to pay the full amounts as set up for charity, it is charged with the responsibility of dis bursement. The state and federal govern ments actually pay more than seventy-live , per cent of the funds. Haywood taxpayers will have to pay a , little over $440,000 in taxes on their property for the operation of the county. The remain der of the $1,000,680 budget will come from the federal funds and state funds, plus extra taxes such as are received from beer, fran- I chises. and the sale of timber of national forests within the county. The four charity funds of the current budget will be in excess of $400.000 for the year: this means more than $33,000 per month, or better than $1,000 per day for charity work alone in the county. J The fact that Haywood's budget for the ! coming year is over a million dollars should make us realize more than ever the size business of the county. There are very few business firms within the county that do a million-a-year business. The commissioners had hopes of reducing the tax rate for the coming year, but the added burden of the charity load prevented this in fact, had there not been a two million increase in valuation, the rate would have had to be increased, under prevailing circumstances.

''Wk H Jt j Si Looking Back Over The Years A Broad Cause The re-election of Charles E. Ray as chair man of the Xorth Carolina Park Commission (that is not the full name, but for brevity is enough) did not come as a surprise. This week begins the third year of the Commission, and it has certainly time and time again proven its worth to the state and to the federal agencies with whom it works so closely. The members of the commission give freely of their time and energy in the promotion &I the forests, parks and the completion of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is doubtful if the public will ever know the tull benefits this commission has brought and will bring to the state, but the members are working for a cause and not glorv. A Good Selling Job ' Judging from reports carried in The Eve ning Journal, of Washington, Iowa, we would say unhesitatingly that the 40 members of Haywood 4-H Clubs who spent a week in Iowa certainly proved themselves good boosters of Haywood and Western North Carolina. In several interviews with reporters, the Haywood youngsters always reminded the lowans of the mountains, the ideal climate, and the diversified farm program of this county. We have no doubt but what the 4-H Club members from Iowa have been sold on this area, and we are looking forward to their visit here next summer. 15 vfArs ago I! usi ness men of Waynesville are requested to park cars off of Main Street diirins August and Septem ber.

Rambling 'Round Bits Of Human Interest News Picked Up By Membcrs- Of The Mountaineer Staff- Saturday HayvbSc! will be host to a group of farmers from Iredell and Union counties. The piedmont area visitors will come here to see some of the county's farm projects, in cluding the State Test Farm. This is further proof that Haywood is gaining recognition as a leading agricultural county. Two Deserving Officers Two good highway patrolmen have been transferred from Haywood County. Sgt. E. W. Jones and Cpl. O. R. Roberts have been good officers, although they had a hard job. and a job that often does not meet with favor from the public at large. Sergeant Jones came here 12 years ago, and Corporal Roberts 10 years ago. Both officers were faithful to their task, and took an interest in civic and church affairs. Both were active deacons in their church, and took a leading role in the Sunday School. Both of these men deserved the promotions they received. They have proven themselves competent and efficient. We know we speak for the citizens of the county when we say it is with regret that, they have been transferred, but their leaving Haywood is the good fortune of the citizens in the places they have gone. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND Ar Hirt rilry such thingi at "prophetic dreamt Auwer: There are many in sUnces of people dreaming of events which later happened, though it's hard to say how often this ires pure coincidence we all hVe b many'dreains that some of ihetti V alrndst bound to code true. But dream do predict the future in so far as they reveal un conscious plans or wishes which the dreamer does not know he will Ultimately act on.

Answer: Not in constitutionally healthy-minded women, writes Dr. David M. Farell of Philadel phia in Medical Clinics of North America. The effects of hormonal changes are often exaggerated iia estrogen therapy used when It ia By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist, not needed. The complaints of women going through the meno pause are mostly due either to or ganic disease, or to mental malad justment to the change in their lives. Neurotic reactions at this time are usually seen in women with a long neurotic history, while most normal women have no psy chiatric symptoms. i. Can yen he unhappy and not knew it? Answer; Vou can refuse to ad mit you are unhappy, even to yourself, for 'any of several rea sons. Many people steadfastly deny that their marriages are un hlppy because to admit it would rfti&ar ArrohB 'or rifslnvsl. At thn I other extreme, people who lead lives of empty dissipation are often unhappy and bored, but will not admit it, partly because this might mean confessing that they are ashamed of their way of liv ing, and still more because it might involve having to face the Inner fwoblems from which they ace trying so bard to escape. mm1 II was lief own fault because she had ni ven I he wrong number every lime to the oneralor. But when she lii'.allv did .".ive it right, she was told the line was busy. A bit irked at herself, she remarked: "If I had given the right number first, those wrong numbers would have helped tu pass away the' time until my number was read, to answer." Tears are drops of emotion wrung out of the heart. For a tir.v little girl of two short vein-', she had more dignity and poise than many who were older. She always looked like a dainty Dresden figurine and had acquired a hatred for any desecration of her immaculate grooming. So when a neighbor's little boy accidentally sprayed her with the garden hose, she gave vent to her indignation by divesting herself of every stitch of clothing, even to her socks, and laving Hum on the grass to dry. It's been a long time since we have seen one of those hats. We mean a man's hat with a black brim and a white straw top piece. U'e wanted to see the type man who wore it but he was evidently still eating his dinner when we left the restaurant, and the hat was on the hook. They were taking in all the sights as they meandered down Main street. Slopping in front of the big alass window of The Moun-' taineer. the lady said lo her eom panim: "Oh look: This pretty (own has a nice newspaper, too." There's something fascinating about Saturday afternoon in Waynesville. As the shadows he Kin to lengthen and the end of the dav begins to make itself conspicuous, you see a thinning out of the crowds that have been in town all day. Arms filled with bundles, and with children tired from the activities and excite ment, dragging at their mother's skirts, the families start home, friends who have enjoyed each other all day, say good bye re lunctantly; motors in trucks, jeeps and ears begin humming and soon the streets take on a lonely air. But not for long. Soon the Saturday night movie-goers and square dance addicts will fill the streets aga'in. ''Spring would be such gloomy weather were it always Spring." Chimps Sell Postcards To Help Out in Zoo ST. LOUIS (U. P.) Nero and Mary, two young chimpanzees in the St. Louis zoo's monkey show, pay for their keep by selling post cards to zoo visitors. After each entertainment act in the amphitheatre at the zoo, the two chimps rush out to a stand in front of the ape house to hawk the souvenir postcards. Their keepers pay them In soda pop,-all-day suckers and ice cream cones.

New York City. 1 PEOPLE OF THE VOICE It is generally agreed that one of ! our greatest needs is a recrcdilbn ' al center with facilities for eur : young people as well as visitors. How do you think such a program ; could be handled? Charles E. Ray: "By putting it on a tax-supported basis as a town project." Dick Bradley; "I think it shouid be handled the same way Canton handled theiis with a bond issue." Dan Watkins: "I think Waynes- i It-1 and Hazelwood will have to cooperate and put it over by pub lie subscription or a bond issue." Mrs. Bill Prevost: "I believe that il one or two of the civic clubs pul the urogram before the people, explaining what facilities We need and the cost, we could have a rec rtational center either by bond is sue or public subscription. If Can ton can do il. we can." Mrs. Claude Rogers: "I think we would have to have a special bond election. It is too big a program to be carried on through any civic organization."' NOTHING LIKF IT Editor The Mountaineer: I guess I'm the girl from Cincin nati that Bill Sharpe refers to in his article on t he Wilderness Kill ers trip in June which left Cata loochee Ranch in the rain. 'Continued on page three. I David Hyatt: "I think a commit tee should be set up, with reprc- , sentatives from each civic organiza tion and the towns of Waynes ville and Hazelwood. to work out t plans for such a program and then finance it through subscriptions from individuals as well as indus t lies."
