The Haywood Electric Membership Cor poration has the potentialities "f fi.;,!in custo mers to be served from 1 .4' if) miles of lines. Surveys have been m..c!c. and a careful study of the areas is well tmticrw..v. The maintenance work winch was once done by one man. now requires a larue crew, in addition to the construction crews who are constantly pushing iir.es back ir.'o remote areas of this entire section. At first one man devoteM part time to the office, and now a iarce st.fT is necessary to ha ndle the lartje volume of busine: The physical growth of RF.A. however, is just part of the story. The appearance of REA lines into the re mote areas of the section have brought about a new day. a higher standard of living, and untold improvement of conditions which have a direct afTect upon the health and lives of thousands of people. The steady growth, and development of REA has been a major factor in the economic welfare of the people which have been serv ed. : The constant expansion, and eagerness to improve service, is of paramount intefest to present customers, as well as those who look to the day when they too can enjoy the facilities of REA.

Tfoung chil dren sometimes have what in adults is called hysteria, though th are mora Df to show it by -'tos of emotional control, trying (Copyright, It O, Kina tmtmm arami, ?5&r . in Greatest Men When the weather gets as hot as it has beer, this summer, and editors find their 'think tanks" are not 'percolating, they con veniently take up the matter of namm, the five greatest men this country has ever pro duced. No difficulty is experienced in starting an argument on this topic, as was the case last week when Ralph McGill, of the Atlanta Constitution, named five men who are at the top of the list. They were Thomas Jef ferson. Alexander Hamilton", Andrew Jack son. Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Greensboro News editor said that the McGill list was quite satisfactory, but he pointed out that George Washington, Ben jamin Franklin. Robert E. Lee, Woodrow Wilson and Thomas A. Edison were five other men who should rank high. The Stanley News and Press picks up the line of thought right here on the subject, and canies on as follows: And so it might be possible to name sev eral lists, with no duplications, yet there would be no chance of universal agreement. Since the weather is hot at the time this is being written, it occurred to us that per haps there is. something to this "picking" pastime, and so we set out to pick the five men who have made the greatest contribu tions to the growth and development of Albe marle in Stanley county. But. on second thought we decided not to try to name the five, although we do feel that perhaps we could mention two or three about whom there would be no argument. ' In choosing men who have been respon sible for the good things which have come to the city and county, many factors must be taken into consideration. This means that it would be an easy matter to start some serious arguments. The thought has occurred to us that per haps it would be much easier to pick the men who have been responsible for the blocking of progress. a,nd the men whose influence has been detrimental to the growth and de velopment of the community. We could name several in this category without exert ing ourselves in the least bit. We didn't intend to mention a single name when we started, but we do want our readers to make up their own lists, for we think it will stimulate some constructive thought. If a man cannot make some contribution to his community, at least he should have the grace and good sense not to be a road-block on the highway of progress.

It is a 'deficiency disease" of the emo tions comparable to the physical disease caused by a defective diet.

Mammoth, Flesh and All, j Discovered In Alaska WASHINGTON (UPi Gold I miners using hydraulic methods on loam banks of Alaska's Yukon River have uncovered a prehis toric woolly mammoth which has been transferred to the American Museul of Natural History in New York City. The flesh of this perfectly pre served specimen has been kept in tact for thousands of years by the ideal deep-freezing climate of Alaska. These conditions have been maintained in the museum's elec trical tleep-freeze unit. In the United States, mammoths have been found as fossil remains in all sections and climates. The !ong-tusked. densely furred beasts were a bit taller and more deli cately built than today's elephant, hut bear a close resemblance to the Indian and African .varieties.
