Big Business
5 We have said so many times before, but
HEA in Haywood county is a bg business.
The Haywood Electric Membership cooper
ative is a million dollar organization, plus,
and the recent loan of $100,000 from the Fed
eral REA administrator for loans to custom
ers is in itself a hg item.
To date the local agency has been loaned
$275,000 for rc-lendimr. purposes to their cus
tomers for the purchase of appliances or
electrical installations.
It looks like a big business.
Civic leaders are showing much concerted i
effect in trying to get the way paved for call- j
rg a bond election for $80,000 in town bonds!
with which to construct a recreational center, j
including a swimming pool.
Petitions are being circulated for signa
tures of qualified voters jn town, asking that
such an election be called.
The general plan is to have an election,
which if approved by the majority of voters,
would enable the town to offer for sale $30,
000 in bonds for the recreational program.
Just how much this would raise the tax rate
has not been determined.
We presume the general'plan would be to
ask the town board to make a levy of from 3
to 1-0 cents per year for maintenance of the
center..-
During recent years numerous towns have
gone into such a program and have establish
ed creditable centers, with the taxpayers foot
ing the difference in operataing costs and in
come derived from such projects. The project
could hardly be expected to be self-supporting.
.
There is no question as to the need of a'
recreational center here, but such projects are
expensive, and there is no use starting one
unless there is assurance that it will be prop
erly maintained year in and year out.
A recreational program was launched here
several years ago, dependent upon public do
nations. These donations fel loff sharply, and
the program closed in the "red."
Any type of community-wide recreational
program is expensive, and one that takes far
more planning, and execution than the aver
age layman can imagine. When a successful
program is staged here it will be the result of
not the ideas of just a few, but of a whole
community willing to work hard and long,
and pay liberally for the benefits derived
from the facilities.
A Dangerous "Pastime."
In ten clays time, seven prisoners have
made their get-away from the State camp
four broke from the camp, and three from a
road gang.
t
That is the record for the camp thus far.
To the average person, such breaks seem
futiivfn that tHe percentage of recaptures
are almost 100 per cent. As this is written,
f ive of the seven were nabbed in short order,
and two are still at large.
Looking at the attempted breaks from the
standpoint of the prisoners might be a little
different. Most of tiie men at this camp are in
for life. That means that they cannot be given
more time for attempting to break away.
Their future is pie-determined. They figure
- that by even a slim chance, they might make
a successful get-away, and stay from behind
the bars. They arc willing to risk being shot
in order to take the chance. Their outlook on
life is not the same as that of fiee men. '
We heard one man severly criticizing the
prisoners for trying to get away, explaining
"why they might get killed trying to escape,
they ought to know better than that."
The same man was seen later making better
than 60 miles an hour on a wet highway, just
"going home."
;Of course we presume he figured it more
honorable to get killed driving fast than by
bullets from a guard's gun. It seems that
cither way is a serious matter if you care.
Game of "Drop The Handkerchief"
The 1950 football season opened in the
usual colorful fashion here last Thursday
night, with the average layman feeling that
the officials played an excellent game of drop
the handkerchief.
Such could be expected on an opener, how
ever, even on a dry field. Tension was a little
high, and the players keyed up, and often too
anxious to get going, which necessitated pen
alties for off-sides.
Too many rules and regulations have often
ruined a good sport. We do not mean that the
players should be allowed to do as they
please, but then too, some rules tend to1 slow
down a game, and take from it the thrills for
the spectator, who after all pays for the show.
The men who make the rules for football
should keep in mind that the spectators do

Historical Markers and Weeds
There is no question about it but what Hay
wood is rich in historical sites and incidents.
The establishment of two more highway
markers of the State Historical Commission
in the county tends to prove this fact.
And while thinking about some of the
historical sites, brings to mind the weed-covered
plot of the area around the monument
erected to designate the spot where the last
shot of the War Between the States was fired
on the Sulphur Springs Road.
To our way of thinking, the spot where the
last shot was fired is more important as a
monument of preservation than the spot
where the first shot. was fired. In either case,
the spot is worthy of being kept in a pre
sentable condition.

Bits Of Iluman Interest Nev
By Frances Gilbert Fr

We saw a cute item in a neigh
boring paper the other day that we
believe bears repeating. The neigh,
borhood children were having a
pet show and little Johnnie was
disconsolate. He didn't have a do.3
'or cat, a chicken or even a turtle.
Then suddenly a bright idea struck
him and on the day of the contest
he appeared carrying his two-year-old
brother. When questioned as
to why his brother was entered,
Johnnie replied solemnly: "Moth
er says he's the pet of the famiiy."
Heard in passing: "If she talk
ed (e her us and pa as sweet as
she talks to her boy friend,
titbits would be a heap pleasant

had been told that every time
he passed the window of a cer

minute and look steadily at some
thing therein. Curiosity overcame
us one day as we happened to bo
looking at some ladies' gloves on
display and he came along for his
usual survey. We bluntly asked
him the reason and ho pointed to
an advertisement in the window
which had a picture of a grey
