The section of road that gives the average motorist the jitters is between Topton and Robbinsville, and then around the shores of Lake Santeelah. ' We agree with The Observer, in their following editorial: The 21,000 North Carolinians who braved the slow, crooked and dangerous mountain road to Fontana dam during the month of Jury probably returned home (many of them by the same tortuous route) convinced that freedom from mud needn't be the only legiti mate motive for road building. There ought to be a much more comfort able route by which the vfsitor mav thread the picturesque and idyllic mountains of Swain and Graham counties in his quest of a lew of man's engineering handiwork at Fontana. The motorist who visits Fontana from the North Carolina side of the Smokies needs ( l ) to be in no hurry to get there, and (2) he will find it healthier to have a little knowl edge of mountain driving. Sure, it's a paved road, every crook and precipitous turn of it. But despite the road, the awesome dam and the beautiful lake behind it attracted 274.688 visitors in July. They came from 22 foreign countries and all 48 states. The 12. 967 North Carolinians more than from any other state who registered at the govern ment's overlook on top of the dam were pre sumably a fraction of the tofal number who drove up for a look and didn't bother to leave their names. Such interest in visiting this largest dam m the TV A system, and nearby Fontana Village with its facilities for 1,000 tourists, underscores the need for Federal and State teaming up in a program of road betterment v in order that this scenic attraction in the cool ness of North Carolina's mountains might be much more easily accessible. The present road from Bryson City to Fon tana serves, of course, the residents of Swain and Graham counties, but it also serves thousands of tourists from all the 48 states and from many foreign nations who drive up to Fontana from the North Carolina side of the Smokies. North Carolinians need a better road to Fontana, but so do the non-Tar Heels. This state and Tennessee, which could stand con siderable road improvement on its side of the mountain, should, since 'Fontana is: a Federal project, persuade the Federal govern ment to join them in fulfilling the need.

Capital Letters By ELLA NIXON GREENWOOD More Appliances for REA The announcement of fne Haywood F.lec tnc Membership Corporation 'hat rates have been reduced on an average ol 1" per cent is encouraging news, to the .'i.4aQ members. The users in the lower brackets, it seems, will be the ones to benefit most, while all users will ultimately derive n benefit from the rate reduction. The cooperative also established a credit system of giving the members credit on a pro rata share of all funds in excess of cost ot operatfoi'-at tl&efiihid of the year. We elxpeet under these plans there will be many an electrical appliance in stalled on REA lines, since these two measuies have been inaugurated. A Capable Man This newspaper regrets that circumstances compelled Tom Alexander to offer his resig nation to the Governor as a member of the Board of Conservation and Development. Mr. Alexander, while only recently ap pointed, had a good understanding of the purpose and program of the board. Since he is a recognized authority on matters of for estry, he is just as well versed by experience in the needs of the state in attracting more visitors within our borders. Mr. Alexander did not like certain "re strictions" which were placed upon the mem bers. He felt that since the board was respon sible for carrying out the functions of the program, that the board should name person nel, and keep it out of politics. His resignation takes a capable man from service. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By LTaWRENGE GO'ULD Ciwlting Psychologist! we are foe ourselves depends pri- wiariry tm how much we feel we "have a right to."

Our tendency to feel normally er pathologically "de pressed"' begins with the reali zation "that at one and the same tiintt it is possible for a person to love and hate,' and . . . that such lov and hafe can be felt for one and he same person.".
