(Read Psalm 33:8-12.) 26 More Pints of Blood Waynesvilie citizens have .uvc-n 26 more pints of blood to the Red Cross blood bank. Each time the bloodmobile has been here, the citizens have responded with generous donations. The use of blood is becoming more "enern! every day, and countless lives are beinir, saved. It is encouraging to note that the pifts of blood by citizens of this county are still up to par, and the response prompt. Economic Wisdom This country is apparently committed to the task of doin all within its power to bolster the economy of the whole world, part of which suffered terrible destruction during the trying years of the recent conflict. We have been spending money ri.uht and left in our efforts, wasting some and using most of it to good effect. Some of the money is spent as a "calculated risk." meaning that we are gambling with it. such, as loaning $20 million to Tito in order to encourage him to keep his back "bowed up" at Stalin. The money used to bolster the world econ omy comes from the pockets of the taxpayers, most of whom work pretty hard for every dollar they earn that which they keep for themselves and that which goe"-- into the tax coffers. The question has been raised in our mind in recent weeks as to whether our country is represented by the smartest brains avail able at these economic conferences where they are spending our money. We have always believed that it takes politicians to run a government, but we think politicians need the advice and counsel of the smartest financial brains in the country not just men who have obtained their economic theories in school, but men who have learned from actual experience. If such men do not have the ear of our representatives at these conferences, then Mr. Truman needs to get something done about the matter at once. The Stanly News and Press The Tobacco Harvest Festival It is welcomed news that the business men of this community will again sponsor a To hacco Harvest Festival this fall. This will be the third consecutive festival to be staged here, and each year the event has grown in popularity as well as purpose. The Tobacco Harvest Festival, in a way, takes the place of a Haywood County Fair. The occasion comes at a time of ye$r when the chores on the farm are lighter, and just before the burley crop is taken to the market. It comes right at the Thanksgiving season, and is a logical time to comflnemorate the harvest of the golden burley, which means so much in a financial return to Haywood. There are about 1,600 burley growers in Haywood, and this year it is estimated that about $800,000 will be received for the crop. Tii is means that the 1,600 farmers will get their share of the money, which is a sizablt amount to spread over the county. A lot of work will again be required to stage the Tobacco Harvest Festival, and many people will be called in to give a helping hand. We feel that all Haywood will join in and do their part. They'll Do It Every Time IsfllstSrWSl U S rMMt OAfSt By Jimmy Hatlo A Big Game for Haywood There are several big, and enticing football games in this section of the country next Saturday. But one of the biggest games of all will be at the polls in Haywood County. The expansion program of the Haywood County Hospital Will be decided on next Saturday, and that is one of the most impor tant events to come before the citizens of Havwood in a long, long time. This is a game which the best team just must win the need is too urgent, the gifts of other agencies too great to turn down. Voice of Autumn The owl has hooted in the evening dark ness. The voice of Autumn has echoed across the valley. There is no mistaking it now, for although the green world is still green it has the gleam of dogwood berries turned scarlet and the shine of goldenrod in the fence cor ners and the glow of little white asters on the meadow. There is the cider smell of windfall apples in the orchard and the wine tang in the vineyard. You can close your eyes and know that the change is taking place. Ripeness is fulfillment, and it comes not at the peak of Summer. It comes when the season begins to ease down the long hill toward Winter and ice, when the days shorten and the stars of night begin to gleam in longer darkness. Ripeness is a summation of long, hot clays and simmering sun and warm lain and the flash of lightning across the Summer sky. It is the beauty of blossom brought to -the succulence of fruit, the soft green of new stem toughened to the firm fiber of the reaching twig, the winged seed of a maple now rooted at the grass roots and finding sustenance in the soil. Ripeness is September, warm at mid-day, chill at dusk and covered with cool darkness at dawn. The change is more than a matter of sun light and day-length, for there is a rhythm in all growing things, a rest and a resurgence. The seasons belong to that rhythm, as do the day and the night. But so does the apple and so do the goldenrod and the asters. The peak is past. The wave of the great rhythm now begins to ebb, and the cricket sings, the owl hoots, the crows call queru lously. You can hear Autumn from any hill side. The New York Times Ver Aggr a vati n &sp?

But I have known many strikingly good-looking men who seemed devoted to wives who were downright "homely" by most people's standards. With men who f re vain, this might be because they don't want a rival J tbc fsaily.

Should psychiatry help select children's studies? Answer: Yes, writes Dr. Law rence S. Kubie in the Teachers College Record.

Is preferring a "white-collar jeb" neurotic? Answer; That depends on -cumeUnce. (a itself, a wish for 'social standing" or "prestige" is Uogetbtr normal, and in a com munity where a white-collar job assures these, that may well be a consideration in choosing what -sort of work you will do. But to let your wish for other people's food opinion drive you into work for which you are unfitted, or which you ft ad boring and frus trating, shows a lack ot self esteem and self-assurance which may well be called neurotic.

Senator Frank Graham's friends, with a wary eye on Umslead's ac tivities, arc getting out a few letters in his behalf and are pre senting hijj. to groups wherever possible, and whenever Dr. Frank will consent to leave Washington. Some time back, one of the late J. M. Broughlon's friends was talk ing to Dr. Graham about a county in this State which looked all right for Brougliton until about three weeks nrior lo the Primary. "They went in there with money, and the whole situation changed over night," reported the Brougliton supporter. "Do you mean that they actually bought votes for Mr. Umstead?" asked Senator Graham. To this--as soon as he had re covered the informant gave a sol emn nod. Afterwards, he was heard to say: "Dr. Frank Graham is a good Senator, but he's got a lot to learn."

Editor The Mountaineer: Tn your "Voice of the People" column, I have recently noted two or more "Voices" asking you to give more publicity to the High j School football team. Having been ! a teacher on the High School and ; College level for most of my adult life before coming to this great American Museum of Natural History. I wish to speak for the jollier side of school life, j During those later years of teach j ing, after I had learned some fun ' d.unental things involved therein, j I briefly formulated the doctrine I that the function of a school, from primary progressively to Univer sity, is to teach students how to jstiidy and how to learn to think in short, to iunction to develop brains and character. This doctrine I held before my students day in and day out and in the past fif teen months I have had assurances from scores of these former stu dents, going back ever 50 ycars. that this was a good principle to live by. In the old days we had a "Waynesvilie Academy" or "High School" which surely could not be railed such by modern standards. Yet from it went out students whose after work made outstanding places for themselves in the great world. But what about today?
