A Big Helping Hand
Haywood is opening her heart and pocket
book for the annual Christmas cheer. Num
erous organizations, together with indivi
duals, are going "all out" to see that deserving
and needy families are taken care of this
year.. : .
The Lions Club is going about their usual
program of providing clothing for many
needy children; the American Legion here
has given $150 to the Salvation Army for.
relief work, while the Elks have on a charity
campaign. v
Numerous organizations, such as Sunday
school classes and others will add to the
penoral charity program.
The Welfare Department has listed a num
ber of eases which they deem as 'worthy of
help. Organizations or individuals should re
port all persons aided in order to avoid dupli
cations. The need is apparent. And those who de
serve aid should be thankful that there are
?o many people in Haywood who are making
an honest effort to lessen the sting of hard
ship at this Christmastide.

No Need For Inflated Optimism
Once again the news as carried on the
front page of this newspaper Thursday tells
of surveys being staged in three parts of the
county for rural telephone lines.
The surveys have been made previously,
and even the time for construction of the
projeects announced. For some reason, the
work did not get underway, and several
months after what most people felt the pro
ject would be finished, here comes news that
new surveys are being made.
Some citizens have been keenly disappoint
ed in that the projects have not been started
when first scheduled. And some of the criti
cal ones point out that the announcement of
the new surveys were made right on 'the
heels of the increased rates. This, the critics
explain, was done in order to "soften" the
blow of the raise.
This newspaper has been disappointed that
rural lines have not gone up as fast as we
were once led to believe they would. We
realize that many things enter into such pro
jects, and how easily it is for. delays to arise.
The Mountaineer trusts that the needed,
and long-promised rural phone lines will
soon become a reality. In the meantime, it
appears to us that the telephone officials
could wisely keep the public informed as to
the progress being made, and give actual
facts. This is no time for inflated optimism,
so let's have the facts as they develop.
A Complicated Law
Some months back, while Haywood was
pitching a legal battle over a pending elec
tion to ban the sale of wine and beer, Moore
county staged an election. Moore county dry
leaders were jubilant in winning the right
to ntage the election, and even more jubilant
when on August 26th they won by an over?
whelming majority.
In the due course of time, the sales on wine
and beer in the county were banned. And
Moore county was legally dry. But that is
not the end of the story. The State Supreme
court has just ruled that the election was
illegal, in that it was held within 60 days of
another election, although a hearing was held
the day before the election before Judge H.
Iloyle Sink. The exact meaning of the Su
preme Court's decision as to the next step is
not exactly plain.
This much is plain, however. The law for
holding an election on banning wine and beer
is a high technical combination, and appar
ently even superior court judges become con
fused by its complexities.

International Recognition
Haywood is gaining even international
recognition as an active 4-H Club center.
When the 12 4-H Club members from Aus
tria began their tour of thp Eastern Seaboard,
Haywood was included as one of the two
stops in the state.
The young people seemed to enjoy then
visit here, and although the mercury was far
below the freezing mark, they did not pay
much attention to the weather, as they were
intent upon the sights, and especially the
Camp at the Tet Farm.
Such a distinction can do no harm.
Here it is the 18th of December and to datf
we have not seen a single picture of a girl
in a bathing suit holding Florida oranges.
A most unusual delay.'
Forging Ahead With Industries
Many years, ago HenderSQnyiUe,adopted the
slogan. "The Gem City oTlneBTue Ridfge?'r
A good one, at that.
In view of their rapid industrial growth
two major plants in less than a week's time,
it looks as if the city fathers are going to be
forced to change the slogan to include some
thing about the industrial center of the moun
tains. Both plants were brought to Henderson
viile through united effort of its citizens,
who realize the importance of steady year
round payrolls.
The accomplishments in Hendersonville
just goes to show what can be done on a
united community-wide program.
And right here, The Mountaineer would
like to point out that we fear the citizens of
a community that has diversified industry do
not always fully appreciate them. Our in
dustries play a more vital part in our eco
nomic life than we sometimes are prone to
believe.
We have said before, many times before,
and feel it bears repeating no county ever
had too many smokestacks, hay stacks, or
tourist facilities." We could well use more of
all of them right here in Haywood.

embody the conflict between a
desire for self-gratification and
the need to punish yourself for
indulging in it. Or it may uncon

the temptation to be too attractive

Asswen Yes, say Drs. W. A.
Tillman and G. E. Hobbs in tha
American Journal of Psychiatry.
Studies of bus drivers, taxi oper

that certain types of personality
coincide with "accident prone

' have the highest accident rates

are aggressive, impulsive, resent
