October 21. 194'J More Power to You The voltage on the power litres coming into Waynesville will soon be three times higher than today. Crew? are busy making the necessary changes, in order that 66.000 volts of unseen energy can flow over the lartje copper wires on the main transmission lines into this community. The increasing demand for electricity has necessitated this additional expansion on the part of Carolina Power and Light Com pany. A larger sub station will be erected by the company at their present station site in Hazelwood. while the Town of Waynesville is completing the expansion of their station on Smathers Street. The increased voltage coming into the community is indicative of the growth, and high demand for electric power. This is further positive proof that this community is steadilv growing in everv wav. A Good P-TA Is Worthwhile It is just about this time of the school year that the average Parent-Teacher Association reallygets down to work in the many schools throughout the county. It takes a little while to get going, and to get the "feel of school." There are a lot of benefits to be derived from an active P-TA in any school. If for nothing else, it brings parents and teachers together once a month, and there they can discuss mutual problems. Too manv times, each group might think the other ex pects too much. But meeting frequently and getting the facts from the other side often puts a different slant on the whole picture. Haywood has some well organized, and some outstanding Parent-Teacher groups. Some schools have not been quite as active, and they are missing a lot. A Good Showing When a National Guard unit attains an inspection rating of excellent, it is something to write home about. And last week, when officers of the Third Army made their routine inspection of the Waynesville Heavy Tank Company, they gave the local outfit a rating of excellent. This is one of the few such ratings issued in the state. Such an attainment speaks well for Capt. James M. Davis, his officers, and all his company. An Experiment Project for Apples It is encouraging news to note that interest is being stimulated in Raleigh over acquiring additional acreage at the State Test Farm for an orchard experiment plot. The farm here covers other major phases of crops produced in Western North Caro lina. Even experiments on berries and small fruits are carried out, but for apple experi-1 ments, there are none. The apple crop of Western North Carolina, in a normal year, is a big item, and means a lot to the economy of this entire section. And the apple orchards are not immune to dis easees which create a hazardous problem, and often an expensive one for owners. The successful operation of an apple or chard is not as easy as it might appear from a distance. It is just about a full year round job. and requires a lot of technical skill and ; knowledge to properly operate an orchard, j .New diseases are constantly being found in I orchards, and the only successful way to com- j bat these is to find out by experiments. But i then that is just one of the many things an j experiment orchard would reveal. There are ! such things as fertilization, blending of types ; of fruit, and dozens of other problems of the Iruit industry. J If Western North Carolina is to continue : to produce choice fruit, and compete with the leading markets in the world, then the grow ers must have at their disposal, every scien tific information available.

Poultry Coming into its Own At long last, it appears that the rooster and hen are coming into their own in Western North Carolina. Civic leaders, together with fanners, are beginning to see the advantages of good flocks on every farm flocks that will produce eggs, for the market as well as the hatcheries i throughout the country. All this in addition to the broiler market. For a long time poultry specialists have been telling farmers of this area that the climate here is ideal for the production of eggs for hatching. It has been a tried and proven fact that poultry can thrive in this; section, and when care is taken, can show a profit for the owner. Jackson County has gone into the poultry business in a big way, and according to The Sylva Herald last week, the farmers are mak ing good with their projects. The Herald carried several articles, and numerous pic tures, showing some of the results which are i being felt in Jackson. The establishment of a poultry plant in j this section will mean a lot to poultry pro-1 ducers, regardless of where the plant is erected. Haywood stands a good chance of getting the plant, provided sufficient interest is shown in the poultry industry. During this year, many poultry projects have been started in Haywood, and more farmers than ever are making money from the proper handling of poultry. It is a busi-; ness that requires time and thought, but , right off hand, we cannot think of anything worth while that does not. Work is started on the new Mas sie Funeral Home on Montgomery and Miller streets. Miss Nanette Jones leaves. fr a visit to Long Beach. Cal. Little Miss Jane Dudley Francis has hirthday party. Capt. L. E. Perry and Chief Strin'gfitld go to Old Ball for sev eral day s of fox hunting. Miss Myra Phillips spends week end in Durham and attends dance 1 tend Duke-Pitt game in Durham. at Duke University. 10 TEARS AGO The third annual cooking school sponsored by The Mountaineer, be gins at the Park Theatre. Postmaster J. Hardin Howell at tends National Assoeiation of Post masters in Washington. Dr. Dudley Smith becomes mem ber of the College of Surgeons. Richard Bradley and Lloyd Buch anan enter calves at the Stale Fair in Raleigh. 5 YEARS AGO Lyda Parton, manager of Wal nut Cove Farm, with Charlie Mes ser, Marion Green, and Guy Phil lips' go to Utah Mountain section to gather apples and kill big bear. Oliver A. Yount. Jr., F 1c, is here for ten-day leave, having re cently returned from sea duty. Cpl. James L. Yount joins brother for a visit at home. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hyatt at- Verlin Campbell surpasses C. C. Francis as turnip grower. Mr. Campbell claims honor with four turnips weighing 20 and a half pounds. Capital Letters By EULA NIXON GREENWfJOD A Lot of Oil The statisticians have figured that the American people are consuming petroleum, in one form or another, at the rate of 2,800 gallons a second. Unquestionably, the job of producing, refining, transporting and mar keting this tremendous volume of petroleum is a mammoth and complex one. For many of us, the products of petroleum are delivered right to our door, and in any event the major ity are available virtually anywhere in the country. we would have to : Leroy Harrell: "Ye: John Carver: "Some Others seem to find it to be." MIRROR. OF YOUR MIND ' ' By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist. ties, the needy have access to free clinics from which medium-income people arc barred by the regulations or their own pride. But the even more unhappy fact is that there are not enough psy chiatrists to go around, and that the time and expense of training them hampers the task of making up the shortage. THE PARTY LINE Many peo around Raleigh and Lumber ion art still talking about Governor Kerr Scott changing his speech which was delivered at the opening of the new Carolina Power & Light plant on t fie Ltimger River three weeks ago. The event was the biggest thing which has happened in Lumberton in several years, but Governor Scott spoiled the party. His original -pet eh (hdieating the plant was set for I.t minutes and CP&L bought Nufticienl time on 11 radio stations to enrrv it and the other portions of the ceremony. His (H-iinal speech complimented the company on its long service to the State, hut at the l;,s minute it was radically chang ed into an attack on Carolina Pow er and Li-.'ht and other private util ity companies. Why was the speech cn.'.iK'i'd '.' Jonathan Daniels and Interior Secretary J A. King heard about and probably saw the speech, saw that it diil not follow the party line of attacking big business and pri vate utility companies. Here, was tin :r main champion in the South. Kerr Scott, actually praising a pow er companv. This would never do! Of course, the fact that he was to 'be the guest of the company and , was to he the principal speaker at dedication ceremonies planned by the comnany and the city of Lum herton mattered not at all. This was , of no more importance than the ! fact that many houses may be cold this fall and winter because of a coal shortage brought on by a Government-inspired strike in the coal mines Good manners, as usual, were tossed out the window. Within three hours. or less time before the dedication ceremonies were to go on the air. Carolina Power and Light heard that the speech had been changed and would run. not 15 minutes, but 37 min utes. So that the public would not think Scott was being cut off the air, the radio stations were contact ed and extra time was bought, on all of them. In return for Seotts slap in their faces. CP&L cut out part of their ceremonies, so he could deliver his full blast. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Are women slaves of fashion? The Rev. J. K. Younlz: "I believe ;ay "Ye ". I'm afraid are. nrcc- ye1;.

The announcement said Mr. Young would continue with his work at North Wilkesboro, though he will be attached to the chapl ill's office of the 14lh Air Force head quarters, which will soon move to a base near Macon, Ga.

The fact that you feel you can't get on without your mother's (or your father's) love and "moral support" is one of the surest signs that you have not grown up emotionally.
