MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Aaaoctated Press la entitled exclusively to the UM for re-publication of all the local news printed In Una flewspaper. at well as all Ap news dispatcher NATIONAL tD IT OH At vVJ AsTbcrATdN More Boys Tlian Girls. An unusual thing about the 1951 com mencement in Haywood high schools is the large number of boys receiving diplomas more by 24 than girls. The average is usually just the opposite. . . . Of the 306 graduates, there are 165 boys and 141 girls. Waynesville, Fines Creek and Clyde ac count for the largest number of boys, while Crabtree-Iron Duff met on even terms. At Bethel the girls were 1 up on the boys, and at Canton were just 5 ahead. ( The complete list presents an interestine study, and the fact that 306 are graduating from Haywood schools, but with a potential class of beginners many times that number, presents ever graver problems for school of ficials. . The tabulation of graduates in Haywood this week are as follows: SFI I Z7 W Boys Girls Total Bethel 22 23 45 Canton 42 47 89 Clyde ' ..... : 18 14 32 Crabtree-Iron Duff 8 8 16 v Fines Creek . .. .. 6 2 8 Waynesville 69 47 116 TOTALS ............. 165 141 306 Monday Afternoon, Mav 28, 1931 Our Greatest Asset We have heard the question asked a num ber of times: "What do you consider North Carolina's greatest asset?" Is it our industries? Our scenery? Our climate? Our good roads? Our diversified agriculture? All of those are important, but to our way of thinking. North Carolina's greatest asset lies in her people. The folks down here get more genuine pleasure out of five years of living than folks in many sections of the North get in an entire life-time. (And don't you Northerners get mad about that statement, because this is being written by a Damyankee himself.) Then, too. there's a neighborliness about our state which is decidely individualistic. We don't know of another state where it exists to the degree in which it is found here. Peo ple down here travel a lot and they make friends in their traveling around. All this brings about a spirit of friendliness Time To Call A Halt It is unfortunate that we do not have more members in Congress who take the same at titude toward the tax payers as does Rep. Monroe M. Redden. The Representative from this district op poses letting India have grain as a loan or gift. He proposed, instead, that we exchange our grain for needed essential materials which India has and we need. This is a pract ical approach. Too many of our Congressmen have gotten into the habit of giving everything away in order to "make friends." This newspaper believes in generosity; we further believe in helping suffering human ity, but we also believe in being consistent, and not being too "generous" with money so sorely needed at home. If India is hungry enough, they should gladly welcome the idea to exchange some of their goods for grain on an even market basis. We expect that India, like a lot of Americans, feel that Uncle Sam can and will continue to feed them without obligation. And right there is the error that is being made in both this country and abroad. Uncle bam is not Santa Claus, and he might as well Miss Dollee Marsh and Miss Co- rinne Wagenfeld entertain with an informal dance. Dr. and Mrs. Robert Stretcher and small son go to Raleigh for visit to relatives. which really helps to make life worth livin It isn't a HanniQK tr-iA.u- u ou 1 ls ,un oama iaus. ana n migm as well ,n?!h$SS bppais. - letOh. world. knw. tfeafcthe free and easy and the newcomer who makes his home here y,aH r.. y ..uiiu-uuio me mvci. xjui agdu, anu unioriu- nately so, too many officials seem to think there is no end to this thing of being liberal with the money derived from already over burdened taxpayers. We wish we had more men like Rep. Red den who dared stand up and speak in behalf of the people who pay the public bills. soon nnas that he is included in this neigh borhness. -The State. Cooperation The current bulletin of the State News Bureau carries a paragraph about the co operation Waynesville is getting from citi zens in promoting the town. The paragraph pointed out that: "Waynesville is getting at the grass roots of service to tourists. Presi dent Dave Felmet of the Waynesville Cham ber of Commerce and members of his hos pitality group met with Service Station ope rators and got a 100 pledge of full coopera tion in making visitors feel at home and want to come back and recommend the mountains of Western North Carolina to their friends. It's a good idea. Sometimes the man who fills the gas tank is the only one in a com munity who comes into direct contact with tourists." So Far, Very Good The Mountaineer is somewhat reluctant to make mention of the highway accident record for 1951 it is very good, to date. However, it would certainly be amiss, not to throw out our chest at the 1950 record. for Waynesville and Canton two of the 16 towns in the state to get a National Council Safetv Award for having a perfect score without a fatal accident on the streets. In view of the state record, the two Hay wood towns are to be congratulated for at taining a record in 1950. ' . With almost five months gWefT95I,'the two towns are five twelfths on the way to ward repeating this excellent achievement. MIRROR OF YOUR Ml N 1 D By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist which he is best fitted makes him feel someone is taking a real in terest in him. This both prepares him to accept psychiatric treat ment, if he needs it, and encour ages him to adjust himself to a world which he no longer feels has no use for him. Delinquency most frequently grows out of a sense of being unwanted. mm Does smoking help yoM to concentrate? It appears to, regard- ' Answer less of how much (or little) it may harm you in the long run. This is partly due to the narcotic effect of the nicotine, which helps deaden otherwise, distracting stimuli; but besides that, the sen sations which, smoking produces satisfy and quiet the primitive urge for sensuous pleasure whose complete frustration tends to make you restless and prevent your giving full attention to what you are doing. Chewing gum and eating candy gratify the same wish for "mouth stimulation Doss vocational guidance help delinquents?

Helping a delin quent or mentally sick boy to Know and find the kind of lob for (Copyrirtt, this rntum 8ydio.u, be.) Is psychoanalysis "upsetting"? Answer: Very much so. Every neurosis represents a way of deal ing with a personal problem which the patient knows no other way of solving, and to be com pelled to realize that his method cannot work frightens him half out of his wits. Suppose, for ex ample, that you have done some thing you are very much ashamed of but have Salved your con science by persuading yourself that ft is Somebody else's fault being made to see that your ex cuse Is "phony" can be down right terrifying. The fear of abandoning unreal defenses Is what makes you resist psychiatric treatment.

Hood, lately Commission er of Banks, born in Goldsboro and long-time resident of Raleigh. In addition there has been a move ment for very able Sam J. Erwin, Supreme Court justice from Mor- anton, and some, talk about Thad Eure. Finally we suspect Olla Ray Boyd will run as usual. It begins to appear that 1952 will see more political activity than usual even for a eubernatorial year. For Lt. Governor: Roy Rowe, able, young and likeablp former senator from Pender County, is running, Rowe is a successful business man. John Larkins, the veteran irrepressible senator from was never matched again by him, or any Governor since. FIRED William T. Couch, who during his 20 years at Chapel Hill built the University of North Caro lina Press into one of the best of its nature in the business, has been fired as director of the University of Chicago Press. Nobody in this State seemed to know much about the firing until they read the cur rent copy of Scene Magazine. In this article, Couch says he was turned out because he insist ed on publishing a book, "Ameri cans Betrayed", which tells of hun dreds of Japanese families being moved out of California during World War II. The book was writ ten by Morton Grodzinsa member of the staff of the University of California. That University said the University of Chicago was be Voice ' of the People Wliiil type of sermon do you pre fer preaching? Rev. M, R, Williamson: "I real ly prefer the textual type of ser mon in which I take a text and de velop It. You don't have but about twenty minutes to preach, at best, and I find it more effective to cen ter two or three thoughts around a text than to try to discuss a whole passage. And I find that people are apt to remember it better." Jones County may run. J. V.

The old Meredith College building will be used initially to house certain State agencies, but will in time be converted into an other beautiful State office build ing. This purchase was made nns- sible by a leeislative pnnptmont authorizing the State to purchase lana in anticipation of future need. A considerable savins in mnnoJ may be thus achieved. One of its residents is FranV Guy. Statesville native who ha beei a Mansion Park roomer for 25 years. He remarked last , week that he could tell folks he wa forced to move when the home he had occupied for a quarter of a century was sold for $165,000 Guy, a bachelor who knows the ins and out's of politics, is em ployed in the State Auditor's office. He can send you into hysterics with tales of by-gone days. Some time he should write a book on "Ra leigh Confidential" or something. His best story, which won't do to tell here, recounts how he first met the late Gov. A. W. McLean in all nis dignity in a rest room in the cajntol and the conversation which followed about plumbing fixtures and toilet facilities which were in existence in the State house in 1925. ' Guy reports that the Governor' dignity in the rest room that day other reasons for their not wanting it , published. Couch went ahead anyway when it could not be ascer- ally or Illegally. Anyway,, the main xning jn wnich N. C. is interested is that their man Couch, whom they had such a high regard for and hated so much to lose five years ago, is how out in the cold. He'd better have stayed down here with us liberal people and out of that rarefied atmosphere which seems to envelop the Univ of Chi cago. Rev. J. E. Yountz-. "We can't al ways stick to one theme, as you know, but I do prefer preaching on the teachings of Jesus which are related to ihe great social questions of today." Mrs. C. O. Newell; "I like to preach the textual sermon as it ap plies to individual and social prob lems of today." Rev. Edgar H. Goold: "I like to emphasize the practical, present day applications of Jesus' teach ings, to take Jesus' own words and arouse each person to the realiza tion of his own responsibility. Two texts that I particularly like as summing up the primary obiectivp of Christ's teachings are 'Seek ye hrst the kingdom of God and His righteousness,' and 'Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?' " Rev. Broadus Wall: "I can tell you in a word: the down-to-earth sermon. I prefer to preach one that deals with practical, every-day living."

A visitor from a rural district was taken to see his first baseball game. He came back, none too enthusiastic, and told his friends about it. Thus: "A lot of men were running around, while one fellow stood up with a big stick in- front of bis face while a mean old guy stood in the middle and tried to hit Mm with a ball but the man with he stick managed to get out of the way. A fellow behind him kept making signs at the fellow throw ing. Finally the man with the stick 7ot mad and hit the ball a wallop, hen everybody started yelling and -unning after the man. He kept on oing around in a circle and finally nade it ba'ck to where he started, hen, he ran under the seats. They out up another man to try and cnock him down." souls. Nothing draws us closer to God than to preach the truths (and all of them taught by Jesus Christ). When a sermon fulfills the demand placed upon the priest by St. Paul to 'admonish, to instruct, to cor rect and to teach, It is indeed a consolation to the speaker. A ser mon which simply harasses the congregation is the easiest to preach. A sermon with Christ as the central theme, bringing His doctrine, consolation and encour agement, is most gratifying, as Jt usually fulfills the needs of the people. Sermons which fit the oc casion are probably the most elo quent however soon forgotten. Sermons filled with Gospel truths, delivered straight from the shoul der without evasion or compromise or revenge accomplish the most good." were A table on ally regular w-1 . interest New, ilbert Frazier The nicest thin, u J you ask tn. you a favor; i n k!
