It's Fourth of July Time Again i
All next .week the Boosters Club will stage j
their annual Fourth of July celebration, with
what looks like a program that will attract
many people to the high school grounds.
The event is comparable to the Labor Day
program staged in Canton every year, And
following a custom of long standing, the
event will get underway with a Union relig
ious service on Sunday night at the high
school stadium.
Beginning on Monday night the Club will
sponsor the six rides, and these are the only
things that will cost the public any money
for the week's celebration. Everything else
is free. A large part of the Club's share of the
proceeds is given the high school band as an
annual contribution.
The Fourth of July will sefc a full day's
program, starting with a long parade, athletic
events, two sof tball games, and an evening of
music, by quartettes and string bands.
Everything looms as another week of fest
ivities, with a number of valuable prizes be
ing added to the inducements for those who
attend for the whole week.
The sponsors are determined to give clean,
wholesome entertainment, and for the most
part, without cost. C

; Thursday Afternoon, June 29, 1950
.t1 1950... census . reports seem to have
brought about national dissatisfaction. In al
most 'every instanpe, cities and towns, both
lar ;e and small, have expressed themselves
as being far from satisfied with the 1950
CPujrit. , . ': . " ' : ' ,
, Tfl a number of places the counting is to be
dor)e over, In an effort to see if the figure
cannot be improved. Those who had charge
of making the census feel sure that they did
a -superb job, and that no matter how many
recounts are made that no substantial changes
wifi be made.
a was interesting to us to note that in the
corttest staged by the two banks here, that
only Hen out of rnore than 1.500 people guess
ed Haywood's population at less than 40,000,'
when actually it was almost 2,400 less than
tha forty thousand mark.
Either we had placed our sights too high,
or here were some people missed in- the cur
ren count, or the 1940 census was wrong.
As we said in the beginning, there seems to
be general dissatisfaction over the outcome of
the count. But for the most part nothing can
or will be done about the figures. They will
satisfy or not. .." '

Looking Back Over The Years
Smaller Haywood Families
fewer people live in each dwelling in Hay
wood now than ten years ago. This fact is re
vealed by the recent census. : .
In 1940 there were 4.2 persons per dwell
ing, and today there are just 3.5 persons in
eac,h dwelling.
Waynesville township has an .even, lower
avrae than the county. In . this township
there are 3.3 persons per dwelling, as compar-.
ed with an even four persons ten years ago.
Jn 1940 the 34,804 people in Haywood lived
in 8,142 dwellings. Now ten years" later, it
taks 10,671. dwelling's for the 37,672' persons.
; JVe ddnot know-thai aftht facts mean too
miich, except :jist to prove thai the average
faijjily is getting smaller "ancf smaller as com
pared with 1940; or then, perhaps, in 1940, a
lot of ' families were "jammed in" smaller
quarters. But anyway you look at it now,
there are an average 'of three and a half per
sons living in every dwelling in Haywood.
The Drama Begins
This week-end will formally mark the j
opening of the Cherokee drama, an event
which this area has for many years been look
ing to see brought to a reality.
People from far and near have already
shown such interest in visiting the Mountain
side Theatre, and seeing there on the gigantic
stage, the story of the Cherokees. lt is a trag
ic story, but one which all of us should real
ize more and more in order to appreciate the
unjustified sufferings of the Red Man many
years ago. ' : .
Everything that it takes to make such an
event a success have gone into the making of
the drama talent, patience, hard work,
money, and experience.
Local people are obligated to see the drama
in order that they can pass on reliable in
formation which is going to be so widely
sought by thousands of visitors stopping here
from time to time. ;
The Mountaineer has always maintained
that one of the best claims we can make here
in Haywood, is that we ; are neighbors of
Cherokees. The Indian is perhaps the most
sought-after single item in Eastern America
today. Other states even have their mount
ains. lakes and good water,, but nowhere do
you find a combination o all, plus the colon
ful Indian as right here in our neighborhood.
We have noted with pride: a growing num
ber of Indians on our streets, in our stores,
and making this their shopping "center. This
is well and good, because they are an asset to
this community in more ways than one.
And now with the opening of the Drama
this week-end, it is all the more important
that we give our neighbors a helping hand
when needed.

Bits Of Human Interest News
By Frances Gilbert Frazier
A lady had accepted a position
which, unknown to her, had an
unsavory background. Enroute,
she was in an automobile accident
and had to be hospitalized. A
friend, inquiring, was informed
that the victim was to "have her
head examined". The visitor smil
ed as she observed: "I thought she
needed that when she took the
job." ' '

Too many look In rear-view
mirrors to see the road they have
come over when they should
keep their eyes fixed on the road
ahead.
'.A group of visitors who had jusf
arrived from a deep-south state,
emphasized the fact that they
wanted the coolest rooms in the
hotel. "We have been burning up,"
they informed the clerk, "and we
want to cool off." They did and
called for blankets during the
night. The next morning it was
hard for them to realize that they
hadn't spent the night In a differ
ent world.
"Why didn't you come In when
I called you?" asked an exasper
ated father of his young off

"Because I didn't hear you un
til you called the third time, and

two times," was the supposed-to-be
satisfactory reply.

SURPRISE Last Saturday's
victory of Willis Smith over Frank
Graham surprised almost every-
thodjs -including ardent- Smith sup
porters. On Saturday morning, you
could not get the most ardent
Smith man to say,' and mean it,
that his. champion was going to
Washington. Smith, like President
Truman two years ago, seemed to
be the only person in North Caro
lina who sincerely thought he
could make it. But the element of
doubt merely served to provide
the necessary push in the cam
paign. If you had a dollar for every
word Smith Publicist Hoover
Adams wrote in behalf of his can
didate, your financial worries
would be over. He had a person

personal loves.

fairly often of a mother who kills
herself because she finds life in
tolerable and "takes with her" a
child or a family of children to

lt it normal to bo "absolutely
fearless"?
Aaswer; It would not be, even
if the person who claims that he
"doesn't know what fear is" were
not trying to deceive himself, or
others. For fear in the presence
of real danger is essential to self
preservation. The man who pro
f eases and perhaps aoema -to be
"absolutely fearless" usually is
the victim of an inner fear go deep
and intense that he dares pot ad
mit even a trace of it to conscious
ness lest it should overwhelm him.
He must persuade himself that he
is invulnerable or be crushed by
his own sense of helplossnese.
GOVERNORS' SONS J, C. B.
Ehringhaus, Jr. and J. M. Btough

ernors, played important roles in
the battle,' Ehringhaus tearing his
shirt for Willis Smith and Brough-
ton speaking for Graham. Both
could have stayed out of it, but
did not., Ehringhaus gave unstint-,
ingly of his time, political experi
ence, and energy to Smith, mak

of policy, and accepting any task
however large or small.
Although Broughton was not as
active for Graham, he got a lot
of votes for the Senator and
proved himself adept at mixing
with the people. It will require
some time for him to recover polit
ically from that trip to the wood
shed on Saturday. Ehringhaus, who

A Better Moastrap
The proverb, "good wine neeis

will make itself known without
puffing. The saying originated with
the bush that was hung over Eng.
Ufc taverns where wine was told.

;, RESULTS It will require sev
eral months for the full results of
tfee . upset to Uecome apparent.
However, some effects areappar
ent immediately. In the first place,
Gov, Kerr Scott has lost immeasur
able influence and prestige. He
saw fit to di-ag the Governor's of
fice into the political mire and in
all probability buried his political
future. Immediately upon becom
ing Governor, he began arraying
class against class, the country
against the city," the labor forces
against management. At one point,
he urged the Negroes to have 250,
000 colored people on the registra
tion books. While he might have
thought he was doing the best
thing, he at the same time solidi
fied. the thoughts and attitudes on
the other side of the fence, ;.
This group arose in full fury in
the second Primary. Two short
years ago this week Kerr , Scott
was riding the , crest of political
popularity. This week, his strength
is at an extremely low ebb. The
1951 Legislature is likely to Mil
like a road machine over any
thing of importance he has to Of
fer. Two- more scandals in his ad
ministration may break this week
and will caese him further loss of
face. vr
North Carolina had gone along
handling its racial problems bet
ter than any other Southern 'state
and better than some of the states
up North. Now "we will be put in
the liberal press as "non-progressive".
That is unfortunate, because
we are the same state, the same
people, we were two years ago be
fore class consciousness began.
Do you think, a series of open
air concerts this summer would
be worth the post and trouble? .
Mrs. Paul McElroyj "I think it
would be wonderful if the towns
people wouldsupport it."
Misa Kathleen Calhoun: ' "Yes,
because there are a lot of people
who enjoy open air concerts and
would turn out for them."
Bill Lewis; "I don't
would be worth while."
.think it
V Bette Hannah: "Yes."
Aaron Hyatt: "Yes, The mere
fact that someone is trying to
further one of the arts in this sec
tion is enough to cause me to give
it all the support 1 possibly can."

Western industry haa been ham
pered by , the scarcity of low-cost
coal which would ba made into
coke. . Utah has abundant coal, but
it has a high percentage of waxes
and oils which hamper the Coking
process. It has been found that
soaking the coal in ethylene ' di
chloride; will remove these sub-tae,Av4i':i-fvvvy.
. Thawing; Fillets ; ',.
if you prefer to thaw fillets,
leave them in the refrigerator and
thaw them gradually. Thawing
them in water is not recommended
as it tends to rob them of flavor
and destroy the texture. Plan to
cook the fish as soon as it is
thawed. Don't attempt to refreeze
for there is danger of spoilage.
