NATIONAL EDITORIAL ycbtairig Mil 3 Thursday Afternoon, August 17, 1950 Open Letter To Haywood County The Evening Journal, of Washington. Iowa, devoted their entire editorial column on Sat urday, to a letter addressed to the citizens of ' Haywood County. The Iowa newspaper, is , rightly proud of their 4-H Club members who visited here just as the Mountaineer is proud of all Haywood 4-H members. The editorial letter, which will be read wilh appreciative interest here, is as follows: Dear friends: We've just been reading in the Waynesville Mountaineer about the welcome you have ex tended to our 4-11 boys and girls, and it all makes us mighty proud and happy back here in Washington County, Iowa. We knew, of . course, you'd be nice to the kids. North Caro lina people would be like that. But we didn't 5 expect you to meet them at the county line j with all those cars and banners, nor did we J figure you'd have the band out. As we under 1 stand the plan, our boys and girls were simp ; lyJoing back to Haywood County, North ; Carolina, to look around a little and get bet j tejacquainted with your boys and girls. But instead of a auiet little visit vou've thrown a ' big party for them, and from all these refresh- infants and dinners we're reading about, it ; looks like you'll be sending them back home with indigestion. We wish we might have looked in on that shjndig at the Waynesville court house and hiiird your banker, Jonathan Woody, make his welcoming address. When you name a I bunker back there in North Carolina you J manage somehow to find a name that sounds like a banker. We don't seem to get the hang ' of that out here in Iowa. Our local bank man I agers, for instance, are Lee Holland and f Frank Crone. Either name would fit a butch- er, a baker, or even a newspaperman just as well. But Jonathan Woody !That name just naturally belongs at the big desk in the con- ference room. 'fYour Waynesville Mountaineer also says 4 the Iowa young people were surprised at the I: height of your mountains, and we can under- stand this because the nearest thing we have to a mountain in this county is Sockum Ridge, wjiich rears its mighty summit to a total height of more than 70 feet at some points. I Our land can be farmed only on one side out here, and on a clear day you can see most of , Washington County from the roof of the barn, j Most of those kids you are entertaining so j kindly and lavishly probably never saw a, mountain before, so you'll have to forgive them if their gaze wanders off toward the horizon while they should be listening to a program. But to us back here on the home front there is a real thrill in reading about your program of activities for the week. Wc were thrilled when your boys and girls came out here last year to spend a week in this community. Folks are still talking about that visit and we're still hearing comments about how fine North Carolina boys and girls proved to be. That's what comes from these visitations. As Will Rogers used to say, "I never knew a man I didn't like", but he had to know the man first in order to find that out, and it's that way with farmers and bankers and 4-H club bers The first job is to get acquainted. After that the friendship sort-a takesc care of itself. As a matter of fact, we don't go in for visit ing like we used to. Before the automobile putted its way into our daily routine families in this area used to hitch up the driving team and go over to spend the day with the neigh bors, arriving unannounced. It didn't seem to make any difference how many came. A big dinner always emerged on time and it was a great day for all concerned. But we don't seem to have time for that sort of thing any more. We are tied up in so many "activities" that we haven't time to get acquainted with our neighbors. Which is exactly what is wrong with the whole world. If nations were permitted to visit in the same manner as Hay wood County, North Carolina, and Washing ton County Iowa, there wouldn't be any Ko rean situation and we wouldn't be scared of atom bombs. Maybe we've hit on a world-saving idea here. A world exchange of visitors. A get- acquainted-with-each-other crusade. Univer sal education by travel and personal associa tion. Can you think of a better or quicker way to achieve international understanding1 Anyway, we want to tell you how much we appreciate the genuine Carolina hospitality you are extending to these boys and girls of ours. We're pretty proud of those kids because they represent the thing we've been trying for the past 100 years to develop out here in the midwest. We believe this farm life, as we live it in Iowa and as you live it in North Carolina, is the most substantial and depend able type of civilization yet created. It is free dom and liberty and opportunity, all rolled together. Through the various farm organiza tions wc have been trying to sell that idea to" the boys and girls, and the program has been working mighty well. Say what you will, we believe this new crop of 4-H clubbers have better farmers and better housekeepers a mong them than can be found among their Dads and their Mothers. Maybe not right now, but they will be when they move into homes of their own. They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo TVS 13 T-E PT PA32-CAL S kzSAZz.

If the State sells them, they will bring a handsome price from peo ple who sit casually, seldom, and who do not mind holding their breath as they lower themselves into historic pieces which have held many a noble posterior. A member of t tie Legislature of 1019 said they were worn out in 1000. The State was loath to part with them, preferring to rush a few of them out at intervals for re pair. This has happened during sessions of the Legislature, the member or members affected being forced to sit in regular chairs or do their thinking while standing. There is doubt that they will be sold. Nevertheless, it is fun to think how fin,1 you would feel hav ing one or two of those chairs tn your own hon:e.

TEACHER BONUS There is tight much conjecture as to wheth er the teachers will go into court in an effort tti prove that they are rightfully due a portion of the $13,000,000 surplus with which the State ended- Its fiscal year on June 30.

For Instance It's natur al for children to be much mora Mm mm i ictiva than suits their parents' convenience, and to have no in terest In cleanliness or order.

US Pwtani Bjadkata, U.) Can yaur "intuitions" tell I right from wrong? Answer: Not In any absolute sense. For an intuition is merely an unconscious association of ideas, and how true it Is depends on where the Ideas came from. What you feel intuitively to be right depends, not even upon what your parents actually meant to teach you, but upon the way you understood their teaching often while too young to grasp its meaning. In matters ot right and wrong, as elsewhere, you may be compelled to fall back on your in tuitions when you have to "think fast,! but donl let them take the place of reasoned Judgment. ADVERTISING They aren't saying much about it, but North Carolina members of the American Medical Association have been ad vised that, beginning the first of October, the $1,110,000 campaign to sell the people on keeping medical services as they are will begin Every daily and weekly paper in the United States, Hawaii, and Alaska approximately 11.000 gained from their North Carolina contacts, and we hope you Hay wood County folks have found in terest in the Iowa story they have left with you. Out of it all we are sure and positive will come , great good And we shall realize again that human nature is the same the world over, and that the only real ; difference between Iowa kids and North Carolina kids is that the Iowans pronounce their Rs a lit tle more sharply and talk funnier than North Carolinians. Sincerely Yours, YOUR WASHINGTON COUNTY FRIENDS, BUCK There has oeen some buck-passing incident to this mat ter which has been on the fly since about July 1. Section 20' of the 1949 Appropriations Rill said if crs. there was a surplus, the teachers could dig into it if the State Board of Education requested it. Well. the State Board met, did nothing except loss the problem into the lap of the Governor, who Is ex of ficio director of the budget. He in turn called in the Advisory Budget Commission, which really and legally has no more to do with the decision at this stage of game than you have. But the Governor need ed their advice. In secret meeting, they said no unanmiously. Then the teachers pounded on Assistant Budget Director Dave Coltrane. He said nothing doing.
