The Slowpoke Menace
Highway patrolmen often point out that
kxtremly slow travelers are sometimes as
much a menace on the highway as the fast
drivers.
On this same subject, the Winston-Salem
Journal points out editorially, -the slowpoke
is a menace.
We recall the experience pf a patrolman
here in Haywood not too long ago, that
found traffic piled up for about two miles.
After about 35 minutes of trying to get to the
head of the long line of traffic, he found a
man just taking his time, although it was on
Sunday afternoon, and the highway crowd
ed with motorists. The driver was indignant
when signaled off the highway, in order to
let traffic proceed at a normal speed.
The Winston-Salem paper says:
A number of recent motor accidents have
boon attributed to the inability of vehicles
moving at fairly fast but usually not dan-
nous rates of speed to avoid collision with
vehicles moving at a snail's pace through
crowded areas.
Of course, every driver should be on the
alert for the slow driver as well as the speed
comon. But most operators of motor vehicles
drive at a rate, we would say, of over 30
milts an hour. Many drive faster the larger
part of the lime, perhaps. Hence, something
(.lose to a standard rate of speed has been
established, not so much by law as by aver
age driver practice.
Hence, the average driver in approaching
another car has reason to believe that he can
count on the other driver to move at a cer
tain or "predictable" rate of speed. With this
in mind, he hakes his calculations with res
pect to passing probabilities. Thus, when he
encounters a slowpoke driver he is likely in
some cases to be caught off guard, with colli
sion and possibly tragedy resulting.
The slowpoke often can be almost as much
of a menace to life, limb and property as the
speeder.

Looking Back Over The Years
Black Ink For The Ledger
Unless sorr.ethini: unforsr-en turn? up. it
now looks like the Chamber of C .rnr.ierce
will end the current year v.'i'.h bl.'ick ink on
the ledeer. This has not always been the case.
as there are some pa.es
lots of red on them.
The organization serix
which the average pcrvr:t
li.t-n. too, according to of
bu.-. mess places, as well as
do not support the organization either Ihian
ciallv. or morally, yet reap benefits from its
services.
This year the Chamber ! Commerce, in a
cooperative plan with the town, renovated
offices which will be rent-free frern now on.
This will represent a saving of about SI. 000
a year, which can be used for o'ii. r purposes.
Million Dollars Worth Of Burley
Haywood should be elated at the finding of
the tobacco specialists, in that the 'county
crop will be worth near a million dollars.
Karlier in the season the million dollar
;oal looked like a far away hope. The ex
cessive rains during the plantine, and urow
inu season of tlie crop looked for a while as
if the tonnage would be sharply curtailed.
Now the authorities not only point out that
the tonnage will be high, but that the quality
is far above the average in the hurley belt.
Such news, linked with the fact that the
price looks like it might again hit near the
S")0 mark gives a note of optimism to the
farmers.
Burley has steadily come to the forefront
in this county, and surprising enough, the
acreage devoted to tobacco has not taken to
any great degree from other crops. It did
not take anything from the beef cattle in
dustry, and little, if any from truck crops.
Another thing about burley, it brings in a
cash income right at the time of year when
cash seems to be more welcomed than at
any other time of year. Right before Christ
mas, and tax paying time.
The 1949 burley crop looks like it will do
a lot for Haywood farmers, who have put
in. a lot of hard work to produce a qual:t
crop, regardless of adverse weather conditions.

It It neurotic to try "for no reason"?
Answer: It's impossible! No one
can do anything except for a rea
son, even though he may have no
idea what it is. To cry, as you sup
pose, "for no reason" simply
means that you are grieving over
something you do not dare to let
-'yourself be aware of as a woman
might cry from the fear that her
husband did not love her any
Jortger and yet find the fear itself
too availing to face. Since we can
cot .control our unconscious feel
ings, (hero Is little likelihood of
curing oneself of this "weakness"
without help unless its cause is
reoaoved. mm M .i'.".;;. .,,
Can you love another "mora
than life itself?"

claim to feci this way, and rid

is far from uncommon for one
