October 20. 1949 THE WAYNES V1LLE MOUNTAINEER I'in,,: Learhiflg thfe Hard Way j The average pef-sori is never too concerned cue;- national conditions until they begirt to strike close home. Such is the case with the coal strike. Last summer the coal dealers were beg ging people to fill coal bins, as the continued warning was sounded of a pending prolonged strike this fall. The strikes are usually earlier in the year, and for that reason, thei users of coal have gotten in the habit o! waiting without due excitement, and let ev erything work out. Now with mam- a coal bin emptv. the frantic calls to bare coal yards brings the grim reality that there is a strike on in the coal mines, and that the fuel on which so many are so dependent is just not coming out of the ground. No doubt the American public will ?ome dav learn to take such matters just a little more seriously. Thcyll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo j ?OP BREAKS A 6LA5S FROM TWE MOMMA HOLLERS IT'S A CRIME I Please, Please Change That Title For many years, the citizens of this area have looked forward to the time when an out door Indian pageant could be staged each summer season at Cherokee. The dream of over a decade is destined to become a reality next summer, as present plans are being pushed to have everything in readiness for the event which is destined to attract thousands of people from far and near. The citizens of this area have put a large sum of cash into the project. This gesture of giving was prompted by civic pride, and the affection for the Cherokee Indians who are Our neighbors. The shocking bombshell which has been thrown into the whole scheme, is the name which in our opinion will he as a wet blanket cast over the event. The original name for the pageant was "The Cherokee Trail." This was the name which identified the event, and certainly the word trail is as typical an Indian name as it is possible to get. Now the plans are. as we understand those .in charge of writing the pageant, the title will 'be -Unto These Hills." What is there about such a title to set it apart from being in Piedmont Carolina, or the red clay hills of Georgia, or even the sandhills of the coast? Where is there any Indian identification in such a title? It seems that the pageant will start out with two strikes against it. if it has to strug gle under such a name as "Unto These Hills." The authors must remember, that regard less what official title they give the event, the public will more than likely refer to it at all times as "The Cherokee Pageant." That being the case, why not use a title in keeping with the theme, and one that has a certain amount of identification"? We feel that we express the sentiments of the public at large in Haywood, that the or iginal name is most fitting, while the name now beling considered is entirely out of place, and not even worthy of serious consideration. Those in charge should move at once to clear this matter up. and give this pageant a "suitable name yes. it's original. $50 Richer and Happier The treasury of the Ratcliffe Cove Commu nity Development Program is richer by SoO for having cast the majority of votes for the expansion of the Haywood County Hospital. The $50 was offered by the rather new Lions Club of Clyde, and last week the Club formally presented the Ratcliffe Cove citi zens with the $50. The Clyde Lions were happv over the outcome of the election, as were thousands of others, and were happy to pass on $50 to the community that polled the largest majority of registered voters for the expansion. This is just another instance of civic group w'orkin benefit of all concerned. And once again, we must repeat one of our often used phrases, "it is things like this that makes this a good place to live." sywyrt i world mghta msmveiv SuTSHE CAN BUST A TON OF CROCKERY i-r . mi is IT OCC " EG AD!

A Successful Event No one will ever know the full value to this area of having the Honorary Tar Heels in this section for a week. The ranking writers and photographers have been given an "eye-full" of tfiis area by Tom and Judy Alexander, of Cataloochee Ranch. The two hosts have pulled the unusual out of their big bag of unique entertaininu. and showed the visitors something of Western North Carolina which even many natives of this area have never seen. The Alexanders staged everything from a bear hunt, square dance, hog rifle shooting match, to a fishing trip. The writers and photographers enjoyed what they saw. and active participation in all the events. Their full accounts to their newspapers, and maga zines during the past week, and for the months to come will bear witness to the fact that they were pleased with their visit here. Mr. and Mrs. R. L.

STILL DRYING UP Beer and wine manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and drinkers saw their troubles begin shortly after ad journment of the 1947 Legislature. County after county voted out beer and wine. The situation became desDerate. and the beer and wine advocates used all their legai tal- ! ents to delay county votes, to con-1 fuse the issue, and to prevent a j decision if -at all possible. i WHY?

ILViAVt kl Sfcoufd you moke yourself do things that scar you? Asiwer: That depends on how intense your fear is. According to Dr. -Phillip Pblatln, a "mild neu rotic fear" that has become a babit -like the fear that drives you to hide in the closet when it thunders can be cured by "facing the feared situation," and finding that nothing very awful ', happens. I'm Inclined to think, . however, that the time to do this is when you have the encourage ment of someone you trust, and that you should not force yourself Into situations that arouse "mortal terror" except on the direct ad- 1 otf psychiatrist. ' Will "truth drugs" holp w understand crime? Answer: Yes, writes Dr. Alfonso Millan in Crimlhalis, Mexico. We cannot explore anyone's uncon scious mind by psychoanalytic methods against his will, and most criminals resist such study. But "narcoanalysis,'' employing hatnu ti a small boy who won't fight neurotic? Answer: At least he is likely to be headed toward neurosis, and should be carefully studied, especially i ne displays no re sentment when his playmates bully him or seems actually to invite mistreatment. For this may mean he has gained the dangerous impression that the way to win love is to submit to abuse and un kindness. And if this creates fixed "behavior pattern" he may develop into a mental or physical masochist. Natural "aggression" can be carried too far,' but undue submlssiveness is a much more unJieslthy tymptdm. ' CLEAR THE FIELD Highway Patrol Head Tony Tolar has had his share of critics, but his help ers seem to be doing a wonder ful job. Thev are slowing down the trucks and busses and are other- wisp keeping a sharper eye on North Carolina's traffic. With regular pleas for more thought to highway safety, drivers seem to be more careful. For instance, there were 44.000 people at the Carolina-Wake Forest game 'and 10.000-15.00g automo bilesi. but only three minor traffic accidents were reported as the game got, underway. In other days It sometimes took as long as two hours to go from Raleigh to Chanel Hill for a toot ball game. Now it requires just about 33 mihulr to make the 28 miles. Last Saturday was typical of the new thinking in moving mgn way traffic. Patrolmen were sta tioned every two or three miles to wave the motorist on at speeds of from 50 to 65-70 miles an hour two abreast most 61 the way. (20 per cent alcohol i. or remarked they had drunk "two or three beers". Wine and beer retailers were often though of course not always the sorriest residents of the community. Many of them had police records. They sold beer and wine at all hours of the day and night and on Sundays. Their places were frequently fill by. HOPE The damage was done, but there was still hone. And so it was that the wine! and beer divi sions were established under the Alcoholic Beverage Control setup. Object: to clean un retail outlets and Woo back public support. Li censes have been revoked right and left. A good iob has been done late, for the counties are still vot ing out wine and beer as election wine i follows election. Clay. Jackson, and Lee went legally dry last Saturday. FUTURE Others coming up: Wayne. Nov. 1; Ashe and Samp son. Nov. 5: Polk. Dec. 10: Yadkin. Feb. 15; Moore, date undecided. A total of 13 other counties have votes coming up, but no dates set as yet. k Unless the trend changes, more than half of North Carolina's 100 counties will he legally dry-as-a-bene by next spring. Give much of the credit to the Allied Church League, strong anti-alcohol sermons by Baptist preachers, and the ring ing of church bells on election day.
