NATIONAL tOITORl Al t .Wanh CarvtiM kJk Thursday Afternoon, June 1, 1950 The Mountaineer ha? a feeling that the Haywood Board of Elections willynot leave a stone unturned until the congestion of Ward One, Waynesville, is remedied.- Of course there is only one practical method of relieving the situation at this par ticular voting preeinet that is to divide the precinct into two or perhaps three. Without giving the matter more concen trated study, we offer a tentative suggestion of making a precinct for Ratcliffe Cove and immediate adjacent area; another of East , Waynesville, and the third of Waynesville that is not now covered by Ward No. two. Many civic leaders and organizations have been concerned in the past about the small percentage of voters exercising their right to cast a ballot. We feel that perhaps one reason is the inconvenience to which many Voters have been put. On last Saturday it took many voters in Ward One a minimum of an hour to vote. .No doubt many left before standing in line that length of time, Another thing in favor of smaller precincts Is the time element of tabulating the vote. Poll workers at Ward One were on the job about 36 hours, which is too much of a grind to expect of any person.' A smaller precinct could have completed their work in far less hours, much to the satisfaction of the wait ing public; and physical feelings of the poll orricials. .. -. . ', We are happy that the Board of Elections plan to take immediate steps irr bringing about relief for a bad situation. , Theyll Do It Every Time ' By Jimmy Hatlo MR.

PRESIDENT PERSONALLY' i Looking B ackOverTheYears A Rosy Outlook Sunday marks the formal opening of the Lake Junaluska Assembly for the 1950 seas on, From all advance reports, and the facts at hand, its appears that the Assembly is in for another banner year. A check of the program sho'ws that some of the best platform speakers in the country, and several outside the United States have prominent parts on the season's program. , The conferences which will bring in thous ands are varied, and will appeal to people of all ages and in every phase of ' religious activity.

TV Weaver Cathey's Influence The tragic death of T. Weaver Cathev takes from Haywood a man who gave much of his in bonds. Quite a sizeable sum is this, more than six million dollars.

Answeri Quite unfounded fear of dying is far from uncommon in ' teen-agers and may consciously be basea on real or imaginary "symptoms," or the actual death of someone whom thoy know well. The real basis of u-.a f?rt, ,':ov ever, is a sense of guilt at the awakening of desires which they have tcn taught to regard as wrong and shameiul and for which unconsciously they expect to be punished. As they learn to except and control these, the fear "wears off." THE LEGISLATURE This rol umr) will not undertake to go into he matter of individual candidates ror the Legislature.

Clyde R.- Hoey in 1936 became Governor on 268.354 votes. That was in the runoff, with Dr. Ralnh McDonald. In the first primary that year the man who is regarded as North Carolina's most popular citizen got only 193,972 "votes. Yet here is Dr. mm uranam getting approxim ately 300,000 and is faced with a second primary. It's heartbreaking. in 1840, j. M.

As I recall the past three years of my Work with him, it relieves me to think of the contributions and sacrifices he made in behalf of the prosperity and well-being of our County and State. I feel that he was more than adapted to the courageous work he did toward the most important subject in our na tion today "Agriculture". The fact that he was a hard worker for the welfare tf we cbmr mon people will not easily be for gotten I am expressing this point iiiruugn actual experience. I re member when I first came to work with PMA as Office Assistant. Then I began to realize the important purt PMA played in the Nation's Agriculture and the huge respons ibility of those who administered it. After a few months I became Treasurer and later was asked to temporarily fill the place of Chief Clerk. I Was somewhat hesitant in accepting this responsibility be cause I, was just a common person, reared on a small farm, Deprived of a college education, I had to take what I could get and make the most of it, therefore; business school was the extent of my edu cation; due to this fact I felt I was not capable of such responsibility but through the helpful encour agement of Mr. Cathey and Mr; En loe I was convinced to trv.
