NATIONAL EDITORIAL, ASTpCrATiO)N 37 2AISIAI1U Thursday Afternoon, July 27, 1930 talented Musicians looking forward : Lovers of good music are tjn the concert at the Lake Junaluska audit drium this Saturday night when the Assem bly presents Miss Kathrine Fryer, soprano, rid Mr. Frank S. Love, Jr., baritone, in a concert of well known solos and duets, i These two talented young people are well linown for their ability as singers, as they l)ave been members of the Junaluska choir for several seasons. j Their program will no doubt attract a lare dumber of people from this area. I pie Right Spirit hristmas will come five months early for llgirls at Camp Junaluska in the mountains of North' Carolina. July 25 will replace December 25 for the campers, whose ages range from 8 to 15. The custom was started because these girls, close friends at camp in the Summer, found at Christmastime that their ranks had broken and spread over a wide area, causing some difficulty in contact. So. filled with the spirit that goes with Christmas, they decided to have it while still . together. Tod&y the international spirit is anything but Christ-like; wars and tensions seem to be the..order of the day, rather than peace and amity. Freedom for all mankind is in the balance; the'scales are influenced mainly by armed might and, behind it, the war potential of the nations, now drawn up in virtual battle array. It would be good if the spirit that has touched these 145 girls in the mountains of North Carolina could spread over the world. Like the campers, we should hold Christ mas while we're still together. The Greensboro Dailv News The Missing Link The State Highway Commission is distrib uting 150,000 beautiful five-color 1951 high-: way maps. This map contains all highway changes contemplated through the end of the 1950 paving season, along with other import ant highway information about the state. On the back of the map are large gorgeous colored vacation pictures of North Carolina, which makes one want to get out and travel, and travel in all sections of the state. The entire job is a credit to the State High way Commission and the state. There is, however, one major flaw in the whole job and it is not the fault of the map makers the entire state system is clearly shown, and looks perfect in its entirety, in that every county seat in the state is connect ed with a paved road, and every border coun ty in the state is connected with the adjoining state with a paved road, with ONE EXCEP TION, That exception is found in the Western part of the state a county named Haywood. This county is the only county in all North Carolina bordering on another state that does not have a paved road to that state. This one big flaw stands out like a sore thumb. The map shows a natural river flowing from Haywood into Tennessee, thus affording a natural water-level route to the adjoining state, but no road is there, and the river is too rocky for commercial use. The state road .system, inaugurated in 1928, called for the county seats, and border counties to be connected with paved roads. It is not like North Carolina to wait 32 years to carry out such a program, but the 1928 road building program will never be com plete until there is a paved road from Hay wood to Tennessee. Thirty-two long years; a generation; and while $450,000 has been allocated to the pro ject, it apparently remains dormant. For 32 years Haywood has been waiting for a prom ise to be fulfilled, and paying taxes on the project all. the while. This- is not like North Carolina's progres sive spirit to lei an urgent matter such as this continue to go by, year after year. Lesser projects in importance have cost more and been built so long ago they are almost worn out. We have explicit faith that Governor W. Kerr Scott and Commissioner L. Dale Thrash ate going to see that the State fulfills this 32-year promise to Haywood and the State. They'll Do It Every Time - - - - - - - . :r7 "t . w..,... By Jimmy Hatlo J M?S.

Charles Isley, Jr. Caldwell weds Capital Letters By TOM OUTLAW Attention To Rural Roadsides Editor's note The views and opinions expressed in this column are those of the author, and not necessarily those of this newspaper. An Eastern Carolina drunken driver caused a wreck which took- the life of a mother and six children. That driver will live under the cloud of those seven deaths the rest of his life and driving while drinking caused it all. The roadside beautification program which is well underway in Haywood is making a profound impression on our visitors, just as it did to the members of the State Highway Commission recently. We feel that the program, tied in with the ideas of L. Dale Thrash, highway commission er of this district, will lend itself to some thing which will prove beneficial for many, many years to come. It is Mr. Thrash's idea that every rural road be named, just as streets in a town. The primary roads, of course, would maintain their numbers at present. By naming the roads, the citizens would have just a little more personal pride, and with their farms named, and uniform name plates on mail boxes, the highway commiS' sion would rock the road shoulders to the boxes, making for safety, as well as conven ience and looks. countryside on rural roads will present -an en tirely new picture a prettier one. GREETINGS! Do you feel a drait on your neck? If so, it isn't a summer breeze, it's Uncle Sam blowing greetings in your direo tion. State draft officials here are requesting .all county draft boards J to go through their files and to look with loving care on the Class 1-A registrants particularly those horn since August 31, 1924. ONLY YESTERDAY That date seems only yesterday to thousands of people in North Carolina. John W. Davis was running for the Presi dency against Silent Cal Coolidge; William Jennings Bryan was lec turihg on temperance to Chau tauqua groups about the country; Rudolph Valentino was the rave o the women; disarmament talks were well underway, and Kussia was not even recognized by the United States as a stable Govern ment. The Scopes trial in Tenn essee was still a year away, Floyd ColTTns ("the man we loved so well"i was still alive and breathing and. Franklin D. Rosevelt was an incurable paralytic with his best years behind him. Angus W. Mc Lean of Lumberton had won the C expect that in the next tew years our wemocrauc nomination tor uovcr- nor. It seems only yesterday August of 1924 and yet the little tikes born that year may soon be on their way to far-flung battle fronts across the world. - thought it might be a ( good idea for the State to take over the busi ness of keeping up city streets. This is not exactly in keeping with plans to route heavy traffic around cities but is in line with Scott's left handed approach and is certainly something new. Voice of the People MORE TAXES Of course, there is the little matter of money in volved. The gas tax, which took a sharp 5"mp last January when we started paying on the road bonds, must be hiked about three quarters of a cent per gallon. Now as to what the people in the rural areas will say that' a gray horse of a different color. They don't use city streets much, However, the Governor says he thinks he can swing them along on the idea. After all, he points out. didn't the city people help in passing the huge $21)0,000,000 bond issue which is converting grass root pig paths into all-weather highways? It will take a vote of the Legislature to bring about the change and maybe a vote of the people. Its success will depend to a great extent on how much influence the Governor will have with his 1951 General Assembly. " Due to the sharp Increase of prices since the Korean war began, would you be in favor of controls? E. C. Moody: "No. I don't think controls should be put on unless conditions get worse.

In psychoanaiysis, the patient may "quarrel" with the analyst and believe that he has made him angry in fact at such times there's hardly anything the an alyst could say that would not be interpreted as hostile. But the pa tleflt actually Is "shadow boxing" 1 with some figure out of his past and projects onto the doctor the aogeif he thinks that person -felt toward him. The reason the an alyst does not get angry, even when he's called names, is that he kxwwt .that hrls no thereat ob J ol the patient's malice. Con' doing right moko you ' feelgoilty?

The difference is that the delinquent takes out his rage at beinf frustrated on society in the form of. antisocial conduct; whereas the neurotic takes his out on himself. One child who feels cheated out of his parents' affec tion will get his revenge by steal- 'ing while another will feet he does not deserve to bo-loved. WAR CASUALTY! The folks in Western North Carolina up around Haywood. Buncombe, Ashe, Watauga, and Alleghany counties up through there have been quietly figuring on a visit from President Harry Truman within the next two months. Congress man Bob Doughton has been work ing on the matter and a month ago they felt confident. Now there is some fear he may not be able to make it what with the Korean incident and the national emer. gency brought on by it. Report is that President has throwmin the sponge on his plans for soiije whistle-stop campaigning this fall and the proposed trip to North Carolina may be included in me oeiections. Not mat he was planning to do any fence-mending in those areas, but he is just go ing to find it hard to get away from Washington for anything, even Key West. If he does get to make the thip, there are some fine old Dem ocrats who could certainly use him along about frost for a few cross- road speeches in Wilkes and Yad kin counties, not to mention Mit chell, Avery, MadisOn and Chero kee.

"Deffinitely, yes.' ald" farmers should demand their fertilizer delivered in cotton bags. This would be another use for cotton ... and: would require 40, 000 acres of lai.d to produce "the cotton which would be .used ' in these bags. . . And. since N. C. uses one-sixth of all fertilizer sold in the United States, farmers could supply a lot in demand for cotton by turning their backs on those old hemp sacks. . . 1SOO0.0OOV' XOOOOOOV' tCXOMY- soococor eoocooot- ecucox 4ooooocr SCMOOCV- MORE U.S. HOME OWNERSHIP OWHMS 3S66.H09yB Eft isW'Jl s m i l1 TENANT JT fAMlLltS Jr .r iQooniwfl ri "iLm ii n ii a II H II 4 IBM M An Af NtwfturM rttofrdpti t0 Twelve million gallons of orange from feeding the stock and had to j juice were frozen in 1948- 49 corn- get that mud oft your shoes before pared to 266,000 gallons in the you could get in the house . . .
