E D I TOR I AL Time To Go Forward Not Backwards The increasing need for more adequate school build ings, and facilities in Haywood county have grown into a deplorable situation. This progressive county, today, finds itself faced with a serious problem, and apparently little, if anything, is being done towards immediately correct ing the growing menace. We take pride, and justly so, in proclaiming to the world that Haywood county is the very heart of "cooper ation" and community spirit. As we do this proclaiming, ... , , ' 4 i ' . fill we literally shut our eyes to our school promcms. nese problems did not arise overnight. They have been stead ily creeping upon us, and at the same time, we have been just as steadily backing away from them. The citizens of Haywood county have backed just as far away from the school needs as we dare go. Our in creasing enrollments, and decreasing facilities demand immediate action. The time has come when we must have backbone and courage enough to stand up and face facts. We have hidden our heads in the sands of indifference long enough. Now we must roll up our sleeves and do some thing constructive about this problem. Petty jealousies, and childish differences over per sonalities will not solve this grave problem. As men and women who are interested in better educational facilities, and interested in the welfare of our youth, we must act and think like grown people, and take this situation in hand to conquer. Haywood citizens voted overwhelmingly for the fifty million dollar state-wide bond program. Of Hay wood's half million share, the Canton area has already wisely spent their $150,000. The remaining $346,000 re mains intact, while crowded conditions at some of the schools prevent students from being able to take even the prescribed courses of study for graduation. And this, in out oninion. is certainly a deplorable situation, - The two survey reports from the State Board of Edtr cation called for a program costing about three millions. The Mountaineer docs not pose as an all-out author ity on schools, but feels that the State proposals were per haps a little overdone, when a more practical plan cost ing much less would have been far more satisfactory. Neither do we agree on the "wholesale" plan for consoli dation, as proposed. It is evident that many projects recommended in the report would have been fine, and usable, but not essential enough to curb, or bog down the entire pro- gramHaywood citizens have an obligation towards the school children of this county in providing for them suitable physical plants. Failure to do this only robs the child of what is rightfully his. And when less than half of a group eager, and anxious to take a subject es sential to their well-rounded education (science) can be enrolled due to lack of space, it is then time we stop try ing to fool ourselves and get down to bedrock and start a constructive program. , ', ' ' wn This whole program must be looked upon from a county-wide level, and here again, local differences, and petty jealousies must be avoided. P Haywood county has wasted enough time on this matter it appears that the "don't care" attitude prevails. Now t is time that action be taken, that our oftciab promptly get together, and get a practical program un derway to lead us out of this deplorable situation. ..

The basis of the study was the Joint-ownership of the sewer line, and the matter of wroiesaie water rates, as Haielwood buys water from Waynesvllle and re distributes to patrons. Th commission made a study. and before too long, came up with the proposal to merge the two towns.
