Vcll rts all AP Ileus lil.(.-.in'hi-, Thursday Afternoon. December S. 1919 Gradually Slipping It is no secret that the beef cattle industry in N'ti'th Canilina has been slipping. That applies also to Haywood, where beef cattle is 'a major farm income item. Last year, the official records now out re veal that North Carolina ranked 46th in the natiun for cash income received fnrn live stock and products. The average in this state fur last year was $534 per farm from the sale of livestock. Only South Carolina and Mississippi were lower, and then just a "wee bit." The average for the nation was S2.911. which meant that this state was about six times below the average. Haywood, how ever, is higher than the count v average in t!ie state. For total cash income to farms, this state w&s listed as 39th. with an average of S'J.T?..! ptjr farm. Cash income from crops averaged $2,221. and giving the state a r.nk of 21st. The average per farm from all :anr. mcme ir the nation is S5.256. Perhaps it is time for Haywood to give this matter of livestock some serious stud v. No Guess Work For Rural Roads Commissioner L. Dale Thrash of our own 10th Highway district, has put a double dose ; of democracy into the current "Go Forward Road Program." Commissioner Thrash has named 39 men i from thirteen Haywood townships to study1 rural road needs in their particular com-1 numities. Thev are to make these studies! with other citizens of their townships, ?nd if anything needs immediate attention, he wants them to see Raymond Mehaffey, fore man of rural road maintenance in this coun ty. If the matter is a question of paving a ! toad, with twelve, sixteen or eighteen-loot blacktop, then the committee will meet with the county group later. Early next spring. Commissioner Thrash s al! the township committeemen to with county officials, and others, and t:t to him and highway engineers just rural roads the citizens of the county paved first. Commissioner Thrash is taking the broad view that local citizens should know their r.eeds most, and he wants the entire county pro nam carefully studied, and presented as a unii. Kveryone readily realizes that the rural road program cannot be accomplished over- niglit. .Neither can everyone get their par ticular road first. Some are going to have to be last. We kn ow that Commissioner Thrash, and his engineers will find that Haywood will rivsen! a practical suggested program for pavinu rural roads. He will find that Hay wood appreciates his attitude, his planned pin-ram-, and will give him unlimited co operation here i B" the large vote favoring the bond issue, it is a known fact that Haywood is over-j whelming in favor of the program. This we feci. Commissioner Thrash will realize more . ,i .,. 1 l. ...:.v . i .mo hi "ie ts ne uoiks wan cooperative nay They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hqtlo" Jy Aft v. iv: mi e war.

M Con you lov someone who treats you rudely? , Answer: That depends on your unconscious attitude toward your , self. If you are a relatively normal person who resents being humili- ated, you won't love a person who is rude to you because you won't be happy with him. But if you're the sort of man or woman who at heart feels you deserve to suffer ' and be made unhappy, you may . well be drawn against your (con- fcfous) will to someone who be- littles or sneers at you. For it's eas- ter to bear another person's gibes or slights than to admit the fact that you despise yourself. Is humor a "psychiatric weapon"? Answer: It is "one of the strong, est weapons in the psychiatric ar senal," a noted psychiatrist told a meeting of his colleagues. It's not that the doctor cures his patients by laughing at them or making fun of their "crazy" ideas. He Can "scientific tan" replace love? Answer: Never, child psychia trists now agree. The real driving force behind a child's develop ment is the urge toward happiness or pleasure, and the main source of these for a baby la the love his family, especially his mother shows toward him. Good food and healthful surroundings, are con tributory factors but give him no real incentive to growth. A baby who is not kissed and fondled may be hygienically safe, but wont develop normally in mind or body because (though tie cannot put it into words) he feels he has noth ing to live for. v . i- :' FIRST NAME, PLEASE One day early in September a young sports reporter called on Carolina Coach Carl Snavely for one of those reports on prospects for the season. They were discussing some of the key men on the team. "If those star players get hurt, what happens?" the cub reporter wanted lo know. "Chaos." replied Snavely. Then the reporter touched his pencil to his tongue, put it to his note pad and asked: "How do you f--o inai lenow s lirsl Coach?" closings are. being observed dur ing the Christmas trade season. While reports arc that holiday business is good in most sections of North Carolina, poor cotton and peanut crops are having a bad ef fect on sales in the rural areas of the southern and northeastern counties. Reduced prices indicate mer chants are energetic in their ef foits to unload fall and early win ter inventories piled up by the un seasonably warm weather. ConscS quently, after-Christmas sales will be kept to a minimum.
