We Hope She Changes Her Mind
i Hundreds ot thousands ul people know
about Lake Junaluska .solely bcause of the
i in nescriptions winch have rolled from the
jx- i ot Mr.-. Maude M. Turpin.
Ivlis. Turpin has for many, many years.
ha.uHed the news of the Lake Junaluska As
stuablv. She has yiven the straight facts, and
let the chips fall where they would- News
paper readers can easily detect such copy,
and devour every word.
The editor of The Mountaineer met Mrs.
Tiii pin m 19.'il. and immediately "Sized ' her
uf) as a straight shooter, and a reliable and
efficient, news reporter. Each summer since
that time we have handled her copy, and
worked closely with her office, and our
opinion is the same now as it was in 1931.
She is not only a woman of unlimited en
ergy. And merely bein.u b'7 years of a'e
means nothing, unless it means she has an
unlimited supply of energy, which never
seems to run out when she i." in front of a
typewriter.
: Mrs. Turpin has trained herself to grasp
quickly the trend of the clay, and she once
confided in us that all that she had to do to
tj;t a speaker's talk was to t,tt his topic,
talk to him for a few minutes and L'et his
outlook on life, and then she could accurately
rttdict what he would say in his sermon.
She often does just that for the fun of proving
she is still right.
Mrs. Turpin has a keen sense of evaluat
ing news to her. as in all good news report
ers, the mighty and powerful are on the
same level as the unknowns as far as news
is concerned. She treats them all alike.
Not too many people know Mrs. Turpin
personally, but by her works, thousands
khow of her. and of Junaluska. And we feel
that perhaps one reason for her success is
triat she has preferred the world know Juna
idska rather than Mrs. Turpn. And that is
yhat she has worked to attain, and done so
successfully.
Mrs. Turpin "threatens'' to letire again at
the end of this season, but we hope she uses
that privilege afforded to all women, and
changes her mind.

The World Calendar Association is making
a determined effort to get the World Cal
endar adopted and put fnto force by Decem
ber 30th. The plan for revising the calendar
is due to come up next month.
One major reason presented for wanting
the new calendar is that the present calendar
was amended in 1582 to conform with the
seasons and was not adjusted in its irregular
arrangement. The irregularity, with corres
ponding changes every year, is said to be
bringing difficulties and confusion on a
world-wide basis. The leaders in the move
ment even list extra costs to the governments
of the world in trying to operate under the
old calendar.
Some 500 plans have been submitted, but
the one that has gotten approval from all
participants throughout the world, is as
follows:
1. Every year begins on Sunday, 1 January.
2. Each quarter year has 3 months or 13
weeks or 91 days.
3. In each quarter: the first month totals 31
days and begins on Sunday; the second
month of 30 days begins on Wednesday;
the third month also of 30 days begins on
Friday. This arrangement recognizes a
harmonious variety.
4. Days and dates always agree from year
to year.
5. Each month has 26 weekdays, plus Sundays.
(i. The week keeps to the familiar order
days beginning with Sunday.
7. Months have their irregular number
weekdays including Sundays.
fl. Every year has an even 52 weeks, plus the
one or two new world holidays.
9. Holidays and anniversaries are stabilized
on their regular days and dates. Christ
mas would always be on Monday,
Thanksgiving on Thursday, Fourth of
July on Wednesday.
Religious feast days, such as Easter, are
left to the decision of the churches.
Perfect coordination is attained among
the different calendar units at the end of
everv quarter vear and the vear itself. ''loans
' ' i i '! '. re. '
12. Everv vear and quarter are comparable , .
from year to year.
13. To secure the stability of the calendar, at
the same time retain the accuracy of the
length of the year that it takes the Earth
to make a complete revolution around the
Sun. the 365th day follows Saturday, 30
December. With the old 31 December

menls of fact, like a "box score,"
good writing not only conveys
ideas in intelligible words; it
arouses the emotion which the
writer wishes to communicate. A
really skilled writer chooses
words, not only for their diction
ary meaning, but for the "asso
ciations" they have for his readers.

U there one "basic neurosis"?
. Answer,: Yes, maintains Dr.
Edmund Bergler in his latest and
profoundest book, ."The Basic
Neurosis." It isjwhat he calls "the
deepest of all mortal dangers
psychic masochism," or the warp
ing of normal emotion to the
point where. one gets satisfaction
out of. being hurt or making him
, self suffer. I do not have space
to summarize Dr. Bergler's argu
ments, but 1 believe that I have
managed Dr. Ralph McDonald's
campaign in 1944. f Jot hers: Webb

of Elizabeth City . . . Claude Far

of Virginia, is a native of New
Bern. Many of the top men in Vir

of presidents, hasn't even been
pregnant in 50 years. . . .

correspondents: "Ask him about

So. they asked about the shoes.
It developed that be had some
