' ' - lATIONAL EDITOIIAl ASYbCMTJoVl 7 J y 555 1 ' ',' i' jnday Afternoon, July 9, 1951 s Of Service servance 'of the GOlh anniversary of pod County Library is far more im lan most people feel. Lrary down through the years,, has been a thriving institution, but at jid the going rather hard, and up fficult circumstances. the untiring efforts, and far- sion of many of the leaders, the li ne through, and today ranks near the libraries of the state, in eom 5ith the services rendered the coun- Scott's Broad Koad Vhn . When historians begin to write the story of Governor Scott's administration, they can well begin with the words "Better Roads" and complete their story with the same words. , Governor Scott has proven time and time again that he is idr better roads, and has, we feel, taken a broad vision of the entire needs of the state in providing these roads. Last veek he showed a fair, and certainly unbiased attitude as he allocated $7,100,000 of a special road fund for some 18 highway projects. "" 'V' : -: v Naturally, as one might suppose, those of us here in Haywood were gratified, and sin cerely appreciative of the half million he set up for the Pigeon Hiver project. At the same time, our local gratification was not lessened by the allocations given other projects in this area we are happy for each and every pro ject, because we agree with Governor1 Scott, arid, Chairman Henry 'Jordan of the Highway commission, that each and every project is of significance to the development and pro gress of this area. : " This newspaper has always maintained, that the more good roads we have leading in to Western North Carolina the better off every city, town, and community will be Un fortunately there are some1" newspapers and ' some towns nearby who disagree "with this theory. They disagree to the point of 'plainly setting themselves up as selfish in such mat ters. We are happy that we have broader vis ion, and speak for a citizenship in Haywood who are broad-minded, and see the wisdom of- putting the progress of the entire region above local selfish whims. We are glad too, that Governor Scott and the highway officials look on such matter's with a broad vision. wth of the Library during the past rpads like fiction, and when one hat today, more than 81,000 books red each year, as compared with 11,- n J944, one; can realize that the in service have increased to bring a 00 per'cent increase in circulation. tf this credit goes to Miss Margaret 1 librarian, together with the board s, and the public at large which importance,- anthnecessity of- an ig library, -. " d is truly a much better place in live because of the 60 years of ser e Haywood Library ing Record ',' ' ay night the fine Holstein cow own- Sims officially ended her 365-day nd in so doing, shattered previous pr milk production. . ,' he cow perhaps burdened by the e of Lakeside Vale Imperial Corn Vnade a substantial profit for her ring the year, and has also brought pt of dairying to Haywood County, junty has every natural advantage Jable dairying, when scientifically ut. This has been proven time and n.

A Big Investment Per Employee A recent publication of the Carolina Power & Light Company carried the interesting in formation that each employee of that com pany represents an investment of $82,500. , The investment of indiiBlry per employee has been steadily increasing throughout the years, and today is at a new high peak. It is astounding when one realizes that it takes an investment of $82,500 to create one job for a person in a firm as large as Carolina Power & Light Company. Yet the figure is not out of line with other utilities and indust ries. It just proves that it takes a lot of capi tal to operate a successful business today. Use of Papers Increases Since Haywood is so interested in the pap er market, it is interesting to note that the per capita consumption of paper in the United States has reached the all-time high of 380 pounds per person, or more than twice the per capita consumption in 1931.' When one stops and thinks of the many uses of paper now from milk bottles to roof ing it is no small wonder that the rate of consumption has increased to such propor tions. Such an increase, however, reflects pros perity here for those of us in this area, with Champion Paper and Fibre Company at Can ton and the Mead Corporation at Sylva both large producers of paper. - Officers of our county proved on two oc casions last week, they were on the alert when they caught three escaped prisoners on two occasions fleeing in stolen cars. , Such work is commendable, and proves the officers are on the job. 1 mOR'OF YOUR MIND 'O "ryp" of people?

BATH SUIT-Mrs. Ethel Elling ton of Oxford and Miss Lois Col lins of Nashville, as assistants in the operation of the Ocean Terrace Hotel at Wrightsvflle Beach this summer, are getting their full share of unusual experiences. How ever, it fell the lot of a Raleigh youngster last week to give them and other guests, in the lobby their biggest shocker to date, There is a sign at the entrance to the lobby which reads: "Do not enter lobby .in bath suit". This lad of about five and his mother were on the porch facing the ocean. They got up to go into the hotel when the mother a lit tle over-cautious perhaps read and explained the sign to her son, who was dressed only in his little bathing suit. She then proceeded to go in, telling him she would be back in a moment. About five minutes later, here came the son trotting in in his birthday suit, minus his bathing suit, and following the instructions of that sign to the letter. RED WING Just before the ap proach of dog days each summer, Fred Fletcher decides to take off on a vacation. From, 7 to 9:30 each mornihg .'he conducts .'a program called, Tempus Fugit on WRAL, the radio station owned by A. J, Fletcher and managed by Son Fred. In Fred's absence this year as In years past Slate and local not ables will pinch-hit for him. One of his substitutes this year is none other than Gov. W. Kerr Scott who will play phonograph records, read advertisments, curse whom he pleases, and give the weather reports. In agreeing to accept the as signment, the ' Governor made three specific requests for records to feature: the State Song, Red Wing, and At The Cross. He made it clear he didn't want any new fanged rendition of Red Wing, but all Manager .Fred could find was of the Spike Jones variety. Final ly, Capital, Records had a special recording made of this old square dance classic for Scott's use on the program. At The Cross (Where I first saw the light and the bur den of my heart rolled away) and the Stale Song gave little trouble. "Can I cuss anybody i want to say, for instance, certain news commentators?" asked the Gov ernor.

Whenever a citizen fined for a parking meter violation says the meter. 4ocsrtwork-and that's a favorite excuse Burgess Huttcr goes Into action. He accompanies the accused to the meter and inserts his own pen ny or nickel. If the meter works, the fine sticks.

There were six children and three ladies as they trooped into the restaurant. Just for diverslbn, we mentally tried to decide which belonged to which.

It's not that he is in hot water with his voters; it's Just that when he L talks to people In his office, directly in front of him on his desk is an eight-ball. Wheu people visit Senator Styles Bridges (R), New Hampshire, they are always seeing pink elephants, which has nothing to do with the senator's drinking habits. He has the best collection of elephant ( on Capitol Hdl, of varied hues, including- bright pink. These are just two cf the strange collections ' gathered by members of Congress. House Republi can Leader Joseph W. Martin, Jr., of Maasachu--setts, also has an elephant collection, Including the famous laughing elephant given him by President. Truman. Others who boast similar selections art" Senator Robert A. Taft (R), Ohio, and Rep. John" Phillips (R), California. just aa the elephant is the emblem of the Re- -publican party, so is the donkey the sign of the Democratic party and numerous Democrats boast . sizable collections. Rep. Joseph R. Bryson (Dr, Senator Spessard South Carolina, probably has the best. Bryson, tn Holland House's most prominent : "dry," alao boasts the. ?-. largest Bible collection on Capitol Hill and one of the most complete libraries on Confederate deeds and history. ... v ' .

What is reputed to be the largest private collection of Lincolniana IS to be found in the Office of Senator Homer E. Capehart (R), Indiana. There are photographs, paintings, lithographs and statues of the first Republican President. t , Taft has a fine collection of pictures of his father, former President William Howard Taft. His prize possession, however, is a fiat bone stick, about eight inches long, rounded at both ends, which was given him by his father. ...

Arends (R), Illinois, became Republican "whip" of the House in" the 80th Congress, ad mlrers presented him with two bull whips to symbolize his work. The party "whip" has the task of lining up members for important votes. On the official stationery of Rep. Albert P. Morano (R), Connecti cut, appears the slogan "Wear a Hat." A huge sign with the same slogan also graces his office. The former secretary to onetime Con gresswoman Clare Booth Luce hails from Danbury, the "Hat Center of the World." , i ' For those Californians who like to sample the products of their native state when away from home, there are raisins, dried figs, oranges, etc., In the office of Rep. Allen Oakley Hunter (R), Cali fornia. Hunter also has a large potted palm and a big fern, repre sentative of the San Joaquin valley, from which he comes. Visitors from Arkansas will find in the office of Senator J.

James C. Auchincloss Even Ear Of Corn Included (R), New Jersey. Western members go in for cowboy gear and cow horns on their walls, mid-westerners display ears of corn, while southerners specialize in tobacco and cotton. v For those who. like pictures of bathing beauties, . -a visit to the offices of many members from Florida and California will prove productive. And if you look into the office of Rep. Edwin 'Arthur Hall (R), New York, you will find yourself staring at a huge life-size picture of the congressman himself.
