According -to the latest official records, 1 lav. wood has a balance in the rural road pro fiam of $1,100,000. It is this balance that will lie discussed here Saturday between Hi-hwav ollicials and representatives from everv township in the county. Thus far, and aain we quote the record, about $800,000 (in round figures) have been spent on Haywood's rural roads out of the bond money. Under the allocation of the funds, Haywood was to receive Sl.fi9li.000. According to this. Haywood is not yet halt' throuidi with the rural road program, as far a;, costs are concerned. Unless the second half cor.l a lot more than the first, then practically every major rural road in the county should have a ood surface before the current pro gram is finished. The meeting Jiere Saturday is an important one. At this meeting, the future plans for the ro:id program will be determined, and it fji.es without saying, that the last half should have just as much thought and planning as the 'first. One Drink For Driving Is Too Many Judfje Rousseau's statement in his charge to the Grand Jury rearciinij drinking motor who drive brouuh-t the approval nod of ?U-iy law-enforcement officer ir the court room. Judtie Rousseau pf.inted out that a driver under the influence of an intoxicant was more dangerous than a drunken driver. , The jurist said that a driver who takes the v. heel after having a drink or two might have his mind "quickened." but when it comes to making quick use of his muscles, the motor ji'it finds he cannot measure up to the occasion, jmd in those lost seconds, there will be the Inference between life and death as the crash -takes place. The drunken driver, it was pointed out, is not capable of thinking, and will not get too far along the highway, without leaving the road. . Many motorists feel that just a drink or wo is not enough to keep them from taking ghe wheel and driving. According to the offic ers and the judge, one drink is too many. ,2fnd the sooner the motorists learn this, the letter off the nation will be. - Schools Threatened The people of North Carolina cannot afford to take lightly the warning of the State Board of Education that the schools of this State face disaster unless the General Assembly increase substantially the appropriations recommended by the Advisory Budget Com mission. . ' ' - The State Board of Education has demon strated time and time again that it is a very conservative bodv. The last demonstration was in its recommendations for the budget! for the 1951-53 biennium. for which the Dres- ent General Assembly will appropriate. The Board of Education asked for 169 morel teachers for the 1951-52 school year and 730 for the 1952-53 year in order not to increase the present teaching load which is, without exception, the highest for any State in the entire United States. The budget commission made provision for only 30 of the 169 additional teachers re quested for next year and for only 77 of the 730 requested for the following year. Now actual figures on the daily attendance for the first months of the 1H50-51 school year are available and these figures show that the board's requests were far too conservative. Instead uf the 169 teachers originally request ed or the 30 allotted by the Budget Commis sion, the actual need for next year is 553 ad ditional teachers. And the following year (when the record bi caking number of births i:i 194') will first be reflected in school atten dance) the actual need will be 1,684 in con trast to the 77 allotted by the Budget Com mission and the 730 originally requested. When it is remembered that none of the above- figures contemplate reduction of the outrageously high teacher load, but merely the retention of that already inexcusably luli ratio of students per teacher, the im poitar.ee of this matter is easily seen. Provisions of enough teachers to maintain the present niggardly standard is only a part of the picture. The Hoard of Education points out that the appropriation recommended by the Bud get Commission is similarly adequate in al rr,o.t every detail. There will not be enough bust s to haul the children, not enough drivers to man the buses and not enough money to operate the buses the entire school year There were also arbitary cuts in such es sential items as fuel for the school buildings. On top of all that, it is proposed that teach ers take a ten per cent cut in their present salaries. The State Board of Education again dem onstrated its conservatism when it said: "It will be utterly impossible to 'operate the schools on their present levels; ii may even be impossible to avert a disastrous deteriora tion in the State school system." The North Carolina public schools need improvement. The least the General Assem bly can be expected to do is to maintain present low levels. Raleigh News and Observer.

At the MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist ligions is strongest in men who feel themselves deprived of their rights, are on the down grade so cially, and are worried and emo tionally unst.ahle. The effect of films attackirj jteejudice is large ly undone by the discontent they arouse through picturing ways of living which most spectators can not afford. Will you hava a happy marriage if you olope? Answer: In the language of (port, you will "have two strikes against you," though that need not mean you're sure to "strike " out." The main value of a mar f nage ceremony is that it expresses f the approval of your union by - society, and above all by your ( parents, and this at least helps ' alleviate the sense of guilt which most young people feel at claim j Ing the prerogatives of adults. On ' the other hand, to marry In de fiance of V your parents' wishes I strengthens your sense of guilt, which you are tempted to blame ooeachothec Dou discontent foster prejudice?

Answer: Migraine headaches do, at any rate, says Dr. Otto Fenichel. Patients suffering from migraine show "marked emotional instabil ity. They are easily frightened or depressed, are always ready to accept blame, have sexual Inhibi tions, and frequently an intense attachment to their parents." The headaches are unconscious out breaks of repressed hostility, di rected against themselves because the primary object of their hatred Is "untouchable."

State Fair Coliseum, approved last wiek, "carnivals, pageants, indus trial exhibits, livestock sales, and athletic contests" will be promot ed. Raleigh may well become the en tertainment capitol of the South east, for what other city in the South or North will be able to provide two indoor arenas cap able of seating a total of 24,000 people? On the shoulders of Manager W. Z. Betts, former director of the Slate Division of Purchase and Contract, rests the burden of mak ing the State College Coliseum prove its worth. Dr. J. S. Dorlon of Shelby, manager of the State Fair, the Southern States Fair in Charlotte, and the Cleveland County Fair, has outlined plans for the Fair Coliseum which if car ried out, will make it the mecca of all tourists visiting North Caro lina. Meantime, businessmen are look ing askance at the State's tremen dous expenditure for . buildings which might, and probably will, put the Government in further competition with private enter prise while downtrodden taxpay ers carry the load. It is important that the private enterprise goose that lays the golden tax egg not be destroyed by Government com petitioneither State or Federal Government competion.

(This ques tion answered by members of the llazelwood-Waynesville Girl Scout Council.! Mrs. Richard Barber, Jr.: "As hut chairman I can mention many needs at The Hut such as pots and pans and equipment for arts and crafts. We also need two new flags a U. S. Flag and a Girl Scout flag a screen and projector to be used in the visual education program of Girt Scouting and more chairs for comfort." Mrs. Dan Watkins: "We need more leaders to take care of the waiting list of girls who would like to become Scouts and more assist ants for the troops already or-panized." Mrs. Jonathan Woody: "We need a guaranteed yearly fund for the Girl Scout program s0 that we may have an established budget to carry out our plans." Mrs. Howard Hyatt: "My term as president of the Council expires next month and as yet we have not been able to find a volunteer to take over the work. We need a new president." Mrs. George BischofT; "We need adults to teach the girls special ized skills and to help them attain their proficiency badges." Mrs. Bill Prevost; "We need training courses for leaders."

But this was the first real quarrel and it had reached the tear-slage with the bride. "The trouble with you," she sobbed, "is that you are too sure of me." He looked at her thoughtfully for a second or two and then lowly spoke: "Well, why shouldn't I be?" and the quarrel ended right there. The difference between "here" and "there" is the letter "t".
