MEMBER Of THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Aaaocteted Preai 11 entitled erkivel to the u. lor republication of all the Wal ,pt-t pnnied in th.i newspaper, as well ai all AP .nci dispatch NATIONAL E DITOtlAl I 3eAiAit Monday Afternoon. February 12. 1931 Time To Get Started This week saw the inaiiL'iiration of the 1951 membership drive of the Chamber of Com merce, with a oa! set for $7,500. The 1951 budget is twice that of last year and a reasonable one at that, when compared with the similar budgets of other conimun ; ities. The 1950 budget just barely paid expenses, i and did not permit much outside promotion, nor work in trying to induce new industries to locate here. As you read this, there is a survey beini; made in Jackson county in order to find sev- ei 'al hundred women to work full time in a , proposed garment plant. The chances are al- most assured that the plant will to Sylva, '' or nearby there, at least. Over in Hendei sonville two laie plants , were secured chum;! the past few months. And so the story goes, town after town get , ting plants. And in every single instance, the plants were gotten by the citizens who went out and worked to get them. And that takes money. The board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce would not guarantee that they will 7 bring such plants this year, but they do promise to get some groundwork laid, and , make every reasonable effort to get such a ; program started. After all, it must be remem ' bored, that getting new industry is a long .. time, and full-time program, We are confident that every dollar invested . in the Chamber of Commerce will be a good "v investment. We are also ol the opinion that tins is a good year to make an honest effort . to see what can be done on a far-reaching pro : gram of promoting this community. The unanimous decision of the inter-city survey commission in naming D. Reeves No land as a member and chairman of the group, .in our opinion, was an excellent one. Mr. Noland is well qualified by his experi ence, his ability, and interest in the matter, to render valuable service to the commission and community by taking the place as chair man. The fact that he was the unanimous choice of the six men on the, commission, within it salf. speaks for their Opinions of Mr. Noland and his ability. The commission is now geared to get down to real business, and according to the report of their initial nutting, have already covered a lot of ground in starting their study of mut ual problems of the two towns. The Board of Aldermen of Waynesville in line with a recommendation 'of the Joint Com mission, have agreed tu stay action relative to the cutting off of water to Hazelwood on February 20th. in order that the commission might have time to make a complete, and im partial study and recommendation. This also was a wise move for all concerned. It is no secret that the commission is giv ing considerable study and research as to the proposal of consolidating the two towns. Their decisions, their findings of fact, and re commendations w ill be given the public just as soon as practical. The public shall look for ward with interest to their report, and we be hove will take it at face value, in view of the method in which the whole study is being approached. We have been impressed with the sincerity of the commission; their ability to get organ ized and cet down to hard work on a task un sought by a single one. We believe the time will not be long before they will open the community book, and give us an insight right in the heart of it all. Right From the Heart There were clays alter the polio drive start ed when it looked as if the going was all up hill. Then the people began to realize that polio had made such heavy claims on the health of so many Haywood citizens, that it was time to act. And then the dollars started i rolling in. The total showed that about $4,000 more than the quota had been raised. This speaks well for Haywood, and every , citizen who dug deep and gave to fight this dreaded plague. ; This type of spirit reflects the heart of Haywood. JVSS Ov5 M A GAS STATjO.', AD Sz.5.

We are happy that tht 22 4-H Clubs of the county are making a study of highway safety as their project for February. We feel that the programs as will be staged by Cpl.1 Pi itchard Smith, and other Highway patrol men, will prove beneficial. v v We can no longer look on highway safety as a minor subject, or a minor need of our at tention. The records are against us, and The Mountaineer feels that the Legislature acted too hastily in killing a measure which would have promoted more safety on the highways, in the form of a modified inspection law. We wore not happy with the last inspection law, but we feel that there could have been suf ficient corrections in it to Snake it effective, and yet not burdensome to motorists. This matter of safety on the highways is something in which almost every citizen must cope several times a day- even if you are a pedestrian. The sooner we learn to look on it-as a mat ter of life and death the longer we might live. And alter seeing the way some people drive, we arc prone to wonder if they care much about living.

But democracy means trying to give everyone an equal chance, not holding everyone to the same level. And the lact that this goal may never be fully at tainedsince all children can't have "equal" parents does not mean that if you've been more fortunate than others, trying to hide the fact will help them. Ar boy losing thtir "supremacy"? Answer: The younger teenagers re, at any Vate, says Dr. Sylvia Allen in the Quarterly Journal of Child Behavior. Among young stera of this age the trend toward feminine "supremacy" in boy-and-firj, relationships has become a serious psychiatric problem, With boys tending to surrender all initiative and let themselves be bossed around and "mothered." One thing that the boys need is more contact with their fathers so sb to learn to escape petticoat cov enunent and find courage to as sume a normal male role. Is pretending to be Ignorant "democratic"? Answer: Refusing to speak cor rectly when you know how, for example, may make certain peo ple feel more "at home" with you, and of course you should not Haunt your education by need Are most of us "physically handicapped"? Answer: Yes, says personnel consultant Bert Hanman in "Comeback," the magazine of the Kessler Institute for Rehabilita tion, West Orange, N, J. Even though your doctor tells you there is nothing wrong with you, there are still jobs for which you are not physically fitted. An examination of 1T00 workers at a plant in Swe den found only sixteen who were Judged physically fitted for all kinds of work. But conversely, there is almost no one who is to tally disabled. "There exist Jobs, even for the bedridden." $5,000,000 n year from the High way Fund for construction and maintenance of city streets. The Stale would also assume the bur den of keeping up numbered high ways running through the cities. Many a municipal olTicial hard pressed for funds cackled with joy when he realized passage of the hill would mean a total of about $7,500.01)0 per annum from North Carolina with no increase in taxes. Of course a local tax increase for street maintenance will he avoided in nianv towns if the hill passes. Gov. Scott several weeks ago had augustly advised representatives of the League of Municipalities they should request a $!i increase in li cense lags and one-half' cent in crease in gas taxes. This would yield about $!.000.000 if by chance it could get through a tax- conscious Legislature. They saw j nothing heller at hand and decid jed to go along with the Governor. ' This caused lifted eyebrows around here, for no N. C. Governor has much influence with his sec ond Legislature and the present one seems to He pretty well drag ging bottom as of this date Senator Powell no doubt realized municipal officials were grasping at drifting straws and were trvins to make bricks without ditto, hence uie introduction out of the clear blue of he $5,000,000 measure it took the League, and no doubt the Governor, completely by surprise. Municipalities are eeltins? hnv will hold a meeting this wenV in see what goes. The State highway people, naturally, are against it. Cities and towns are supposed to be receiving $2,f,00,000 each year already for streets, but most never see one dime of the money. The State Highway Commission helps in constructing and improving streets and then write off the amount. due for the work from the city's quota of the $2,500,000. In general, that's the way it operates. While Senator Powell's bill may be tossed about considerably by legislative winds before final pas sage, it k ajrtadv assured of adop tion in the Senate and should not have too much trouble in the House.
