The amount is just a few hundred dollars above the request of this time last year. Since the last March of Dimes drive, there have been 1? Haywood citizens which suffer ed acute attacks of polio. Each of these have been given special treatment and care through the facilities sponsored by the Na tional Foundation. The story of the wonderful work of the Orthopedic Home is known perhaps not as much is known by the general public as should be but those who have been there testify for the fact that the care and treat ment is tops. Haywood citizens are familiar with the dev astating results of polio. Hardly a person in the county but what has had a friend or rela tive to suffer from this dreaded disease. Thanks to medical science, the patients re spond to treatment, and many overcome the attacks in the entirety. The people of Haywood readily realize the need for the money asked to fight polio. For that reason, we are confident that the result will be gratifying, and the modest goal reach ed. This is a critical year for polio; which means we must fight it from every angle, starting with our liberal donations now. , .. t : Theyll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo do Strong Determination When a group of citizens set out to jot. there is no such word as "can't". , 'ihe i. st of December, the 55 members of the Wayi esville Rotary Club decided to put th( nselvcs to a test, and have five consecu tive meetings with every member attending.

It was back in 1946 that all persons whose nrmes began with A and B had to take an ex-( arination for a new license. Now those per sons renew their licenses within 30 days of th"ir birthday, this year. Failure to do so can mean expensive com pilations when "caught." And don't think for a moment that the "catching"' will be too hrrd tr-e files in Raleigh show the date of renewal, date of birthday, and also when you apoly for renewal this year. The records are there, and it is just a matter of looking at the automatic records to determine the status of every motorist in the state. A cher,k on drivers' license now might save a lot of embarrassment later. In many respects, Rutherfordton county is similar to Haywood. It has many thriving communities, a good agricultural back-log to a diversified industrial field. Rutherfordton county has had under con sideration for sometime the question of rural fire protection. In a recent editorial, The News, of Rutherfordton, had this to say on the matter, which we feel is of kindred in terest here in Haywood: The movement for the county to purchase two or three specially built fire trucks, to save property in rural areas, deserves care ful consideration by the county officials. When a home, bam or outbuilding, in the rural areas is saved, it means more taxable property for theicounty, as well as property within the corporate limits of our towns. These fire truckslwould pay for themselves in a year or two. They would help to reduce fire . insurance rates. t'J-'iAVhenbuiklingiHitferii.iaiT arek'ftarcflhd. homes are in greBt demand we should do all possible to save them. With good roads and telephones, firemen could soon reach most any section of the county. The demonstration truck that was in Rut herfordton during the holidays carried 450 gallons of water with 800 pound pressure off two booster hose lines, each 250 ft. long. It had ladders, spot lights and all necessary equipment. It saved several rural buildings the week it was here and was useful in put ting out grass fires. It would be a good invest ment for the County to levy a special small tax to buy about three of these trucks one to be located in Rutherfordton, one in Forest City and one in Caroleen, Henrietta, or Cliff side, if the proper arrangements can be made to house one in High Shoals township.

Monday Afternoon, January 15 1 i Rambling 'Row Bits Of Human Interest News, By Frances Gilbert Frazier Little Johnny had relched the advanced age of three years and the age of discretion in knowing how to put on his shoes and tiny abbreviated trousers. But one day, his course of action became con fused and he ran to his mother with his shoes on the wrong pedal extremities and his trousers In re verse. Gazing ruefully at the state of affairs, he asked plaintively: "Mommie, am I better to sit down or bend over?" .v How small worry would be come it we would carefully dis sect it before it grew up. He was a nice looking old gen tleman and was intently" reading the paper when we took the seat next to him at the counter in the cafe. After a few . minutes, he passed the paper to us saying: "The news seems to be practically what it was yesterday. Too bad!" and he walked away. We picked up the paper, glanced at the date line and smiled: It was yesterday's paper! What a wonderful Companion and comfort Memory can be. Have you noticed that "thicken ing" on the aspen trees? There is a particular trait about these trees that we have never noticed in any other of the trees around here.

MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist sleep, but there are others which should not be sneered at And what, they all have In common is to let us gratify primitive wishes In imagination without the risks doing so in real life would involve.

But "i il :. -"breaking your neck to please them" is more apt to have the op-'-'posite eCect For one thing the feeling that they are taking ad- " vantage of you will make them .. uncomfortable.

It Is every one's task to "adjust himsell to reality," but no one can do this twenty-four hourg a day without frustrating his natural instincts to a dangerous degree. The most complete esca' Do "achievement tests" show whether a child is loved? Answer: Yes, reports psycholo- fist Henry Feinberg in the Jour nal of Genetic Psychology, The results of an achievement test given to fifty girls and fifty boys living in friendly foster homes were compared with those of chil dren from an Institution for the maladjusted. Except for arithme tical reasoning, the foster children made a better showing in all sub jects, though they averaged con siderably younger. The frustra tion of a child's need for love and affection can be detected from his "pattern of performance" In any tntof he does. -r ' YOUR HONOR! The sharply ; lelevatd poYtjjWQr the -House and Senate where sit the presiding offi-; cers and the clerks are all things to all men. Ministers who too in frequently have sat as members of these august bodies have no doubt likened them to a pulpit. For want of a better word, some legislators refer to the dais or rostrum as the "stand". To most attorneys, it is similar to the judge's platform. To Senator Rivers Johnson, vet eran of Duplin, last week it seem ed like something else. Since he is probably the oldest man in point of service in Ihe Senate, he was given the honor of presiding over the' caucus held to elect the presi dent pro tern and the clerks. Every body was in a gala mood, full of fun, and having a fine time. Senator Grady Rankin, as all knew he would be, had just been elected president pro tern assist ant to Lt. Gov, Pat Taylor, etc. Johnson called out from the stand to Senators J. Hamoton Price of Leaksville arid Junius Powell of Whiteville: "Escort our new presi dent pro tern to the bar." Then glancing around -him with a quizzical. Bnrrymorish expres sion, he said in a stage whisper you could hear out in the vard: "At least it looks like a bar to me." The remark brought down the house, for all the lawyers had heard thousands of times that firm judicial command, "Sheriff, escort the prisoner to the bar!" hands may be tied. COLLEGE BUILDINGS The Grcmsboro Daily News said in an editorial a few days ago that the legislators should consider the fact that enrollments at various State schools are dropping off and will be further reduced by young men moving into the armed forces. Sense of the editorial was that. generally speaking, this is no time for new buildings for these colleges. Voice of ihe People Should the state of North Caro lina replace the death sentence with life imprisonment as the supreme penalty for capital crimes? Lynwcod Grahl; I sure do. 1 think it is entirely up to the Al mighty to decide whether a man should live or die. But people con victed of capital crimes certainly should be separated from society for life. LIKE THIS ONE-There is one new building, however, which the Legislature helped build, that will bring its members some enjoyment. Each representative and each sen ator has been provided with a sea son's pass for air State College home games to be played in the Reynolds Coliseum .on Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday nights. BUILDINGS Indications are that the Legislature is already be ginning to look sharply in the direction of State building projects as it pulls out the long whittling knife on requests for more money. Although the State Fair annually brings inlo Raleigh more people than any dozen other events, the News and Observer here Came out with an editorial last Friday saying that "in the same neighborhood as the site of the proposed coliseum is the Reynolds Coliseum at State College, a multi-million dollar structure designed for the same functions as envisioned for the one at the fairgrounds." A, resolution was introduced Monday night in the Senate direct ing that the Board of Agriculture not proceed with the construction of the coliseum at the fairgrounds. Several members of the Legisla ture secni ready to investigate last week's Budget Bureau action awarding contract for building the coliseum at a cost of around $1, 350,000. Since the money was ap propriated by the Legislature of two years ago and since the con tract has been let, the Legislature's PUTTINTOFF There used to be a rural character as popular as Abe Martin and Hambone. His name, if memory serves correctly, was Ben Puttintoff. He never could get anything done. He, was always putting it ofT.'vHeads of institutions and departments who have for one reason or another delayed getting contracts signed for new buildings, money for which was appropriated two years ago, may soon find them selves out on the limb. The Legislature is expected to re-examine these appropriations, and there is a possibility that large portions of the funds may be re claimed and placed elsewhere. E. J. Evans: Yes, in some cases. But death should ' remain as the penalty for conviction of first de gree murder and criminal assault. Carl Setzer: No. I think the death penally prevents the commission of many capital crimes. If the death sentence were replaced by life im prisonment, I believe that more and worse capital felonies would be committed.
