Monday Afternoon. November 13, 1950
Progress was spelled, with capital letters as
one viewed the exhibits and heard reports
of Haywood Home Demonstration Women in
their annual Achievement Day program here
The work has steadily gone forward
throughout the years, but it appears that
more interest, and activity has been noted
during the past year than in a long time.
What impresses us is that the program of
the Home Demonstration Clubs is along prac
tical and beneficial lines. The projects are
worthwhile, in that they" enable the women
to make homes for better living.
One could not view the exhibits of last
Thursday without realizing the valuable con
tribution which the women are making to
the fuller development of this progressive
county. ' ,". s' ;
And while carrying on all this program, the
women set up a new state record by reading
more assigned books than any similar group
in North Carolina. From that one easily real
izes that the women are improving their
homes, adding facilities for the family, and
doing constructive reading.
The progress and development of a com
munity or county is ultimately dependent up
on the spirit of its citizens, and their deter
mination to go forward. The answer to Hay-:
wood's development to a large degree, is
found among our aggressive, and hard work
ing women.
The Old Way Preferred
Disturbing news comes that officials of the
Salvation Army have plans underway for dis
continuing the use of the tamborine in mak
ing their weekly solicitation for funds.
It appears that the decision was reached on
the basis that other groups are using the
tamborine, and often the unsuspecting pub
lic gives with the idea that the Salvation
Army is getting the money. The tamborine
and the Salvation Army have been so closely
associated that often the public just puts the
two together.
Plans are to use a plastic shield the Sal
vation Army emblem irjstead of the tarn
bonne. We readily realize the problem which the
Salvation Army officials face in having other
groups capitalize and make use of the famous
tamborine when making public solicitation of
funds. But somehow ,we have grown to re
spect the little combination instrument-collection
plate with such respect that we would
hate to see it give way to a silent plastic coin
holder.
As far as we know, only a Salvation Army
Lassie can put that sincere ring in her V$jce
as she says: "God "Bless" Y'ou "coins' are
dropped in her tamborine.
We hope the tamborine is kept.
Still Achieving Success
Haywood 4-H Club boys made another
good showing at the Fat Calf show with their
33 animals last week.
The local boys have some excellent beef
projects, and their interest in the industry
been proven down through the years, as they
consistently win some of the top honors of the
annual show.
Sales Tax To Come Up Again
Reports continue to come from Raleigh to
the effect that the 1951 legislature will have
to provide more revenue in order to meet the
state's budget. Some persons are said to favor
the levying of a state ad valorem tax on land.
Others are proposing added sales taxes.
Among such proposals, according to one
Raleigh observer, is the abolition of the $15
limit per item on sales tax. Instead of placing
EUcr a limit, the regular three cent sales tax
tyould be charged regardless of the price of
the item. This would moan that the man who
purchases a $2,000 car will be required to pay
$60 in sales tax instead of $15. It is also pro
posed to remove all exemptions from the
sales tax and make it a flat three percent on
everything.
It would be well for the 1951 legislature to
attempt to fit the state's budget to the tax
Srueture that is currently in use, rather than
tb seek means of providing added revenue.

The Atom Bomb, And You
An interesting 32-page booklet, that talks
in simple, and understandable language, has
just been published by the government
"Survival Under Atomic Attack."
In large letters bn the third page are these
words: "You Can Survive."
This encouraging phrase is followed by the
explanation that "You can live through an
atom bomb raid and you won't have to have a
Geiger counter, protective clothing, or spec
ial training in orer, tq do tit,. Thj jsetjrets , of
survival are: know "the" bom's true dangers;
know the steps you can take to escape them."
As we said, the booklet is in simple lan
guage, void of scaring you, but factual in try
ing to instill the dangers, and importance of
"respecting" the atom bomb.
The booklet begins by explaining:
"To begin with, you must realize that atom
splitting is just another way of causing an ex
plosion. While an atom bomb holds more
death and destruction than man has ever be
fore wrapped in a single package, its total
power is definitely limited. Not even hydro
gen bombs could blow the earth apart or kill
us all by mysterious radiation.
"Because the power of the bombs is limit
ed, your chances of living through an atomic
attack are much better than you may have
thought."
Then the booklet describes the danger
zones People a half mile from the center of
explosion have chances of escape of about 1
out of 10; a mile away 50-50 chance; beyond
two miles practically no deaths.
The facts in the booklet clear up some mis
conceptions and startled ideas many people
have had on the subject.

- Art we "morally responsible" for other people?
Answer: Yes, to the extent that
we are part of the "environment!'
to which they must adjust them
selves in order to be healthy
minded, says Dr. R. G. Gordon of
th Tavistock Clinic, London.
Anyone's degree of adjustment
Varies, partly on the basis of his

portion to the difficulty of the sit
uation he has to adjust to. By

Answer: Psychologically, No.
They are mostly quite harmless
crTcrts to regain the mood of the
pre-adolescent days when small
boys got together out of range of
another's watchful eye to say and
"the son of a drunken father"
safe to marry?
Answer: It would be both un
kind and untrue to say that he
cannot be. A craving for alcohol
is not Inheritable, and whether a
"drunkard's son will follow :i
his father's footsteps depends on
how he has reacted to his father's
drinking. If he still loved and ad
mired his father, he may tend to
drink too much through a partly
unconscious desire to be like him.
, But it the results of his father's
Intemperance were sufficiently

, the resolve never to touch liquor,
or even become a fanatic prohibi
tionist. : :.

LOW VOLTAGE" Speaking of of Government regulations of all
dislikes. Gov. Scott for no obvi
ous reason took a pot shot dur
ing an otherwise dull news confer
ence in his uffice last week at the
president of Carolina Power and
Light Company. This man is also
the new president of Edison Elec
tric Institute, a national organiza
tion composed, of Utilities com
panies manufacturing 85 per cerft
of this nation's electric output. His
name is L. V. Sutton. Scott refer
red to him as "Low Voltage" Sut
ton. He thus got credit in the
pape rs for word coinage.
As a matter of fact, however,
the Governor eame up with noth
ing new. L. V. Sutton, the presi
dent of Carolina Power and Light,
started with the company in 1912
as a reader of meters. He was a
young fellow then, freshly out of
V.P.I, and a short term with Gen
eral Electric. His older associates,
most of whom have now passed on,
frequently chided him, saying his
initials, L. V., stood for "Low Volt
age". The term apparently didn't
bother him too much then. And it
didn't last week when Gov. Scott
picked it up and passed it along as
something original. Sutton long
ago became used to insults from
the Governor.
THE STORM Look for a flood
kinds within a few days now. Our
private information from Wash
ington Is to the effect that a war
time V economy, which in , some
phases will "be more strict than
during World War II. will be shov
ed down t,he throats of consumers
and businessmen by January 1. It
is significant that no controls on
wages are expected, however.
Labor, still very much in the
saddle in Washington, will soon re
quest a minium wage of $1.00 an
hour. This will likely be granted.
In connection with this, the Labor
Department now has power to pull
more and more industries under
the Federal Wage and Hour Law.
This will likely be done, and will
result in higher prices on com
modities and services which iiave
been free of the minimum v;ige
law. One more round of inflation.

about Saturday afternoon ifi
Waynesville. One can. see an en

There's the newly-weds stocking up
their brand-spanking-new pantry
with groceries. Although their arms
are filled to overflowing with
brown paper bags, they manage to
hold hands as they go giggling
along Main Street. Then there's
he father, mother and four young
sters, gayly window-shopping. Lat
er we see them piling into a car,
each member of the family en
joying an Ice-cream cone. We see,
too, the completely exhausted fam

selves into a pickup and starting
off toward home where they will
again live over the excitement of
the day in town.

MARCH OF EVENTS :

Special to Central Press
WASHINGTON President Truman is expected to submit to I
gress in January a government budget of alxmt $65 H
an increase of $23 billions above the present budget.
The entire increase will be in arms to equip the expanded U
States forces. Atlantic Pact nations, the fhilippities, Turkey. Q
and other American allies.
This means even higher taxes, of course, as the admlnutn
repeatedly has warned. The I'reswem "
that the rearmament program should tie to
on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Mr. Truman plans to ask Congress to revs
tax program substantially. He will requat
the tax burden be shifted more heavily totl
die and upper income brackets and that
estate and gift taxes be levied. An excess?
tax also is a certainty.
