More Patrolmen For Haywood
It is encouraging news to note that Sgt.
Sandlin has promised Haywood two more
full-tinie highway patrolmen about March
first. ' .
The highway record thus far for. 1958 is
appalling.
While even fifty patrolmen possibly, could
not have changed the present record, this
newspaper is convinced that the more patrol
men on the highways, the greater the tend
ancy for motorists to drive with care.
We ' are aware that accidents will just
happen, but in almost every case in Hay
wood, or any other county, the majority of
accidents could be avoided. As far as we
know, the most direct way to bring about a
reduction of aeeiiepts, and to assure 'great
er safety, is an adequate force of patrolmen
on the highways enforcing rigid regulations.
We shall look forward to March first
with keen anticipation. . N ,.'

These areas are fast becoming among' the
main attractions in this section, in drawing
Visitors. This was proven last year, and the
many years before, by the actual counts made
at the various forest recreational centers.
Pisgah. drew more than 1,300,000 people,
while1 Nan tahala Forest had almost a million
to Visit their recreational areas.

While the demand for additional benches and

money for new shelters, or much improve

The National Forests attract almost as
many people as. the Park,' and offer a greater

Synthetic Mica -
This section Will be keenly interested in
the report that government scientists have
just developed synthetic mica. The men of
science, termed ' "This discovery is of im
mense importance to the United States." '
Since some of the best mica in the nation
comes ffom this immediate area, we are a
ware of the importance the government
placed upon it- during the last year. The
scientists in developing synthetic '.mica erm
it as an addition to national security.1
The synthetic, mica has' essentially the,
same properties as natural mica, but is sup
erior to the natural substance in its ability
to withstand .high temperatures. .
An interesting statement from the govern
ment relative to mica, is that during 1948
the United States imported over 10,000 tons
'of high grade mica at a cost of more than
$15,000,000. In the same period, domestic
production of high grade mica totaled only
135 tons, at a value of less than $50,000. Most
of the imported mica comes from India and
Palistan. . .;'
This is Just another lesson learned during
the last year of the folly of depending upon
imports' of essential materials.
We know right here in our own commun-
. ity what Strides synthetic rubber has made,
and now comes mica.
- It can be truly said, that the needs' of man
toomorrow are being discovered in the test
tubes. of scientists today.

The Better AVe Produce,
Tfietter We Live1.
Perhaps it has not been put down in so
many words,' but Haywood farmers have for
many years been going along on the pro
gram, that the better we produce, the better
we live. ".
There is a lot wrapped up in that state
ment, and yet every word is true.
That does not necessarily just apply to
farmers. It also applies to the industrial
worker, the tourist operator, in fact, to peo
ple in every walk of life.
It is true that everyone is not producing
corn or wheat, beef cattle or milk on a farm,
nor on unit production in the industrial
plant. But producing quality at whatever
our work, means a better living.
While this is by no means meant as even

Mecca Pilgrims Cross
Trackless Desert
KHARTOUM (UP) On the re
turn half of an 8,000-mile Journey
across Central Africa and the Red
Sea to Saudi Arabia, 204 Moslem
pilgrims have arrived in Khartoum
after making the trip to Mecca.
The pilgrims are a mixture of
African professional men and
peasants who live at Accra on the
Gold Coast in West Central Africa.
They traveled overland from that
country to the Sudan and then
crossed over to Saudi Arabia by
steamer from Suakin.
A young Lebanese, Hag M. K.
Hamawi, was in charge of the five
jolting trucks, which crossed 3,000
miles of Central Africa to get the
pilgrims to their port of embarka
tion for Mecca.
The convoy crossed hundreds of
miles of trackless desert country
without mishap, and Hamawi had
no compass. As the journey was
due east from Accra, his knowl
edge of star and sun positions en
abled him to lead his lorries
through the wilds of French Equa
torial Africa and arrive at the cor
rect place on the Sudan border.
