Another Protection For Farmers.
The passage by the General Assembly of
the Yates' bill to provide a dog warden as a
means of protecting farmers raising sheep
and poultry has been hailed as good news
throughout the county.
Stray clogs have been a menace to farmers
for ages. Many farmers have gone out of the
sheep raising business because of the heavy
losses sustained by killer dogs.
Under the new law, the tountv commis
sioners can name a warden to see that the
county is rid of strays.
County officials have for a long time point
ed to the great differences in the number of
dogs listed on the tax books and the number
-found roaming in almost every community.
Une official said, in commenting on the
new law: "It Willi be the jub of the warden
to see that the 'difference' is eliminated. A
man who prizes his dogs also cares for them,
and put them on the tax books."
Anyway, the plan is now a law. From here
out, the fulfillment of the law will be left to
the officials, and their appointees.

A 3 Million Dollar Program
,' The State School survey committee follow
ed almost in detail the suggestions of the Can
ton school officials in checking the heeds for
school buildings. The costs, however, will be
.slightly more than was first roughly estimat
'ed.
lhe Committee said the Haywood schools
would need about two millions, plus another
third of a million for land and equipment. The
same committee has found that the Canton
dtrict wil need between three-fourths and a
million dollars, making a total of "about'
three millions for the proposed school bond
i:ssue.
. Ul course, before the officials go to the
"poir.t of an election, each and every proposed
project in the county will have to have a defi-j
p.ite amount set up, in order that the citizens
over the county might know just what will
.be spent on each school.
1 Until that is done, the proposed bond issue
, 'will be spoken of as "three million more or
less."

II As the matter now stands, the local chaDter
F of the Red Cross is about $$1,700 behind with
FT its quota. On the other hand, the gifts this
year are arjove tnose 01 last year. :
Red Cross officials sought a much larger
ffund, because of the extra expenses necessi
tated by the conflict in Korea. The stepped-
up bloodmobile is also requiring additional
funds. . '
We can't feel that the people are not inter
ested in Red Cross and its program. We rath
er believe that the campaign, coming as it
did, on the heels of six other public drives is
the cause of being below the quota.

Ways To Kill An Organization
Don't go to any of the organization's meet
ings. But if you do go, go late.
Always find fault with the work of the of
ficers and members.
Never accept an office, it is much easier to
criticize than do things.
(let angry if you are not appointed to a
committee. Should you be chosen, don't at
tend any of the meetings.
M asfeed i9Riye yauropiniorj, on some mat
ter, tell your chairman you have nothing to
say but after the meeting, tell everyone how
it should be done.
Do nothing more than is necessary. When
others roll up their sleeves and both willing-
ily and unselfishly use their ability to help
matters along, howl that the organization is
run by a clique.
Hold back your dues as long as possible or
don't pay them at all.
Make no effort to get new members.
Don't be sociable either within or outside
the organization.
If you should get a good idea smother it at
once.

If you think hypnoiii would be
a quick way ot curing your neu
rosis or ridding you permanently
of neurotic symptoms, there are
four chances out of five that you
are mistaken let a psychiatrist
decide what treatment you need.
Can weaning come naturally?
Answer: Yes, says Dr. John C.
Montgomery, noted pediatrician,
m Baby Talk. At about the age of
ten months anatomic changes
take place In a baby's mouth and
tongue which make them less
well adapted for sucking, so that
"some babies toward the end of
the first year lose Interest In the
bottle and are willing or even
eager to drink milk from a cup."
You shoujd not, however, "Jump

from the bottle,', since the suck
ing impulse never disappears en
tirely or completely. For small
babies, thumb-sucking is
"right" which should not be
denied (hem.
Can "almost anyone" be
hypnotized?
Answer: No, says Dr. Donald
Powell Wilson In "My Six Con
victs." "Deep hypnosis Is possible
in less than 20 of subjects." Al
most anybody can be hypnotized
to the superficial extent needed
for stage or classroom demonstra
tions, but comparatively few cat

Can responsibility drive a man
to drink?
Answer: That depends on how
mature he is emotionally. There is
an all . too common type of
physically adult male who has
never quite outgrown his childish
impulse to do as he pleases and
let others worry about the con
sequences. If such a man marries
and has children, there are likely
to be times when he can no longet
stand the restraints which ' his
responsibilities impose Upon him
and will either literllly run away
or find an escape in intoxication.
While essentially neurotic, such
men as a rule are hard to cure
because they rarely will admit
there is anything wrong with
them.

N1CARAGUAN VISITORS It
seems pretty definite now that
Capus Waynick plans to send uo
a gubernatorial trial balloon this
summer. This is expected to be ac
complished by a visit of the presi
dent 01 Nicaragua, with attendant
tanfare, to the United States. Ru
mor here is that President Tru
man has been approached on the
visit and is looking favorably upon
it. Naturally, the Nicaraguan visit
tor will be accompanied by Ambas
sador Capus Waynick.
The next move will be to hrinn
the visitor to North Carolina,
with Kerr Scott's campaign man
ager In 1948 getting well into the
spotlight irt his home state again.
u an 01 tms develops as planned,
then Capus Waynick will be one of
the candidates for Governor next
year. Best guess, however is that
he won't make the race.

BIG APPOINTMENTS The
Governor has several appointments
coming up this month on the State
Banking Commission.
Veteran Banker and Commis
sioner Gurney Hood's term is
drawing to a close. Ilis activities
during the past two months
against exchange fees charged by
banks, and his off base attack on
Insurance companies may have an
important bearing on whether he
will be reappointed. At least three
members of the State Banking
Commission vigorously disagree
with Commissioner Hood. Two of
them, Bob Holding of Smlthfield
and Garland Johnson of Elkin,
operate non-par banks. That ls
they charge exchange fees for
clearing checks on out-of-town
banks - Another, Reed Plckler of
