NATIONAL EDITORIAL AsTbcfATibV fill M kTTTTTT Thursday Afternoon. Slav 17, 1931 How To Live With "Confusion" Dr. C. Sylvester'Green, executive seuetary of the North Carolina Medial Foundation, made a speech last Saturday before Rotar ians assembled in High Point at their district conference. In his address he passed an a per sonal observation that we think could well be pasted in our hats as a guide to better liv ing in this period of tension and strain. Observed Dr. Green: "Confusion is normal; be sure that your re action to confusion is normal also " What he meant is that confusion in times of stress is nothing new; that is has been a part of our history down through the ages. But public reaction to confusion is something else again. The atmosphere is cleared if the reaction to confusion is objective, if the pub lic's emotions are held within bounds and the confused situation faced objectively in the light of cold reason. Take the case of the current squabble over General MacArthur's removal as supreme comnAndfer in the Par East. First public reaction was one of anger an emotional response of ever there was one. With the passing of the days came the normal confusion of which Dr. Green spoke. It was difficult to take sides on other than personal or emotional feelings. Within the next few days emotionalism will die down the public's reaction will be come normal in that it will attempt to learn facts reasons why all of these things are happening. Out of the welter of confusion, then, will come some sense, we think. And when it is all over there will be a more unified front, a super, more comprehensive understanding of our current problems, military and political. It is wise counsel: "Be sure that your reac tion to confusion is normal also." Chatham News, Siler City. Two Million Visitors The 25th anniversary of the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is witnessing record attendance which is expect ed to climax with the two-millionth annual visitor about August, The park was officially authorized by Act of Congress on May 22, 1926. Next week will mark the 25th anniversary, but no special ob servance has been announced. It was four years later, in 1930, that the first deeds were turned over to the federal government and the National Park Service took charge. Since then there has been a steady, and sometimes phenominal, growth in park at tendance. By 1941, the Great Smokies saw the one millionth visitpr during a travelyear, enaing wun beptemoer. Actually that year had 1,247,019 visitors. . Attendance dropped during the war, but came back over the million mark in 1946 and set a new record of 1,468,636 in the 1949 travel year. Since then, each year has seen records fall, and each time the Great Smokies has led all national parks of the United States in atten dance. Last year the total passed the million-and-three-quarters mark with a total of 1,774,265. So far this travel year,, the total has been 520,2"0,. which is 38 per cent above lastVyear. Based on past experience, the remaining five months of the year should show at least these totals, each approximately 25 per cent ahead of ldst year; May, 160,000; June 320,000; July and August more than 500,000 each; and September 225.000. These figures would cause the two-millionth visitor to arrive late in August, with an other month to go. With the rate of increase experienced so far this travel year, the total would be well beyond these estimates. Such growth in the short span of 25 years is far. ahead of even the most optimistic back in 1925 Haywood county, right at thevery door steps of the Park, and Pisgah National For est, realizes more and more each month, the increase of travel these two national. projects attract. The world will not be altered in a day; neither will the human race. Consequently, the' rabid reformers might as well sit down and take a few quiet breaths. By Jimmy Hatlo K CAMS. UP THE HARD VW.

Business Trends Although payrolls are at a high level, retail merchants throughout the country have nol been satisfied with their volume of business It has been hard for them to understand why sales have slumped, although there is more money in'cifculat'ibri" than ever' " " ' The Federal Picserve Board, in a report last year, revealed the trouble, and the explana tion i,s as logical as it can be. Following the opening of the Korean conflict last, summer Americans went on a buying spree, using their credit to get items that were scarce dur ing the last war- Shortly after the first of the year, says the Board spokesman, folks became more cau tious, and began to pay up their debts. As p result, installment and charge account debts dropped during January,' February, . and March. Figures on April are not yet available but it seems certain that the trend continued. Charge account debts in this country drop ped by $72,000,000 in March alone, and in the same month, installment loans dropped by $95,000,000. During the first three months of the year, installment credits dropped by a tot al of $489,000,000. Late in 1950, they had risen to an all-time high of $13,478,000,000. While the merchants are not too happy, particularly those who are on a cash basis, they all realize that this is a sound process, and they are not complaining too much. Stanley News and Press. J. pjiSi'i nm - 1C SHAMES (EMU BAIIEV I MIRROR OF YOUR MIND n mm -Ziff--- V '' :Vl if May sons resent being waited on? W ft i By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist towards members of other groups, both sets of children cited "cus toms, costumes, cleanliness, lan guage, religion, character quali ties and civilization," but "the recent trends are away from pre judice because of racial and phy sical differences." The change has been slow but is greater than Is generally realized. J 1 WHOSE DUTIE",? On the day before the Legislature adjourned Is 1951 session. Governor W. Kerr Jcott sent in his. 'ovd new appoint- nents to the State Board of Edu cation. The lesis'ators had been icre in Raleigh for nearly three md one-half months. They had Irawn no pay in two weeks. New )ills and revisions on old ones ere floating like chaff in the wind. This was the day Governor Scott hose to send along the names of he two appointees he wanted to ;ucceed A. S. Brower of Duke University and Harold Lineberger if Belmont. Consensus among most )f the legislators was that the Gov ernor was trying to rush them. Otherwise, they said, he would lave submitted the names for con firmation earlier. He only submit ed these two. They were not act ?d upon. He didn't come in with another set. If the Governor had submitted he names of his two jiew appoin ees at some reasonable time dur ng the session, he would have re jeived a positive answer one way or the other. Now the group known as the 'Advisory Council" of the South Piedmont District of the N. C. Classroom. Teachers Association solemnly resolves and says the Legislature "deliberately evaded its tuties ' when it failed to accept governor Scott's nominations which-came in only a few hours before, adjournment. It does look as if someone besides the Legis lature did some evading of duties, Thus the South Piedmont "Ad visory Council" by indicting this way the entire 1951 Legislature surely made a great contribution toward friendliness and peaceful ness and mutual understanding be tween the 1953 Legislature and the teachers. Anyway, aren't Harold Lineberg er of Belmont and A. S. Brower of Duke University just as able as Margery Alexander of Charlotte and Dr. Roma Cheek of Duke Uni versity. Who's kidding who, , or whom, teachers? - DEBATING PLACE Reports from Raleigh newspaper reporters Indicate that the Governor's press conferences have been raised to the level of debating societies, with eathc-as-catch-can, root-hog-or-die discussions replacing the old dig nified question-and-answer form of conference. Although the Governor is the referee, no ground rules have yet been established and last week the arguments between the reporters who lean to the liberal side and those who sincerely be lieve there should be no further Government - encroachments upon private business became heated. For better or worse, the Gov ernor s press conterences nave changed, like almost everything else around here. Voice ol the People Do you think that some othci day would be preferable' to Sun day for holding the Ramp Conven tion? Oral Yates: "l think any day would be better tfian Sunday, "and I would he in favor of seeing the day changed. I feel sure, too, that a larger crowd would attend ' on some other day." Answer: Yes, and often justifi ably. A mother who is at heart unwilling to see her son become independent of her may uncon sciously try to prolong his childish helplessness by "waiting on him hand and foot." She believes it is unselfish love that makes her do this end feels bitterly aggrieved if the boy lets her know that it annoys Ijim. But he is not really ungrateful he is trying to defend himself against an urge (which has its echo in his own heart) that seeks to retard or to deprive him of his manhood. A man who en Joys such ministrations too much is a poor risk as a hurband. llli l( prejudice waning? Answer: It would seem so, re ports Rose Zeligs in the Journal of Genetic Psychology, on the basis of the difference between answers given to questionnaires by twelve-year-old school chil dren in 1943-4 and those given in 1931. Explaining their attitudes Is "styU" achieved deliberately? Answer: Usually not in creative work like writing, painting or composing music. In a recent ra dio Interview, a composer known for his "distinctive style" said that he nfever thought of anything when writing music except how best to express the feeling he was trying to convey, and the same is true in general of painters and of writers in words. Thinking about style tends to make you feel self conscious and seem insincere and artificial. Once you have learned the technique Of your medium, you will be mott original when you try least to be so. ' (Coprrlfht, 1M1, Kins Fotuns BjrndleaU, Int.) Jerry Rogers: "I would like to see the convention held any day of the week except on Sunday; and I know a lot of people that share my opinion." More' than anything else, little Johnny wanted a dog but his moth er discouraged the idea and Fath er flatly objected; "No, son. Dogs eat too much and as things are now we have to curtail." But in a few days, Jonnny came home from school dragging the most forlorn and dejected looking dog imagin able. His father showed his horror and exclaimed angrily: "I thought I told you that we couldn't have a dog." Johnny looked up happily and smilingly explained: "Oh, this dog's all right. You said we'd have to curtail and the man that gave him to me said the cur had a tail alright."

Saturday might be the best day you know it's I known in this county and maybe in other districts as 'Farmers' Day'. MORE DEPTH Some of the legislators during the recent ses sions of the General Assembly re ferred to the new tar-and-gravel and asphalt roads as "tender tops". There were several controversies about the tenderness of the roads. This got over into the State High way Commission. Highway officials aren't saying much about it, but future roads and some already built will not have the tenderness of the older ones. The surface is being made thicker so that they can withstand heavier traffic. Those people who have been forced to wait for tfteir hard surface roads should benefit from the experience derived from those first built.

Mrs. Terapleton Leckie: "I don't think it makes too much difference Sunday is the only day that a lot of men could attend who would not be able -to go otherwise." TOO LATE? Unless the State is able to crack the wall of defense regulations, there is a good chance that we are going to have literal ly hundreds of thousands of dol lars kicking around with no place to call home during the next two years. The Federal Government is looking down its nose at building projects which have not yet been started. Assistant Budget Director D. S. Coltrane is going to Wash ington this week to see if some thing ean be done to jump the hur dle. Main objection to new buildings, public and otherwise, is- the use of steel. This is needed by Uncle Sam for his rearmament program. The shortage of steel is more seri ous than most people seem to re alize. Some of North Carolina's most ambitious building projects may be delayed several years.
