Daily Bread
By Rev. A. Purnell Bailey
God bless our home! ;
One summer morning, while trudging up along'
hill, a mailman overtook two young boys on a news
paper route. Several times that morning their paths
crossed. Finally the three of them .stopped, and
looking. down at the little town nestling in the valley
below them, began to make comments.
"Which house do you live in?" the mailman in
quired. ' .
"Don't live in a house," one of the lads retorted
quickly. "We live in a home."
The mailman rather Surprised asked, '. "What's'
the difference?"
, The youngster pointed to the rays of the rising
sun and said, "I reckon that there sun will shine ON
a house," Then after a moments hesitation he said,
"But it shines IN a home." ,
God bless our home!
Growing Attendance
Over at Cherokee attendance to the drama,
"Unto These Hills" has been seen by 12,000
more people this year, than at the same time
last year. That shows the popularity of the
drama, and the increased interest for the sec
ond season. Last year 107,000 people saw the
drama, and according to the present trend,
this Reason's total will go to 125,000 or more.
Down on the shores of the Atlantic of Dare
county, the Lost Colony has set a record, with
more than a half million seeing the drama
during the past ten years.
Both records are astounding, and give
North Carolina something in the east and the
west that attracts people in larger numbers
than was ever thought possible.
On Printing The Truth
WHAT does a newspaper editor say to the
parents of a young cancer victim who want to
shield their child and protest publication of
stories of young people dying or about to die
of this dread ailment? 'I fail to see any value
in these stories picked up all over the United
States, spreading dread into homes all over
the country," one mother recently wrote to
the Hartford Courant.
The newspaper's editorial reply, we think,
is a masterpiece of reasoning for publication
of the truth. In the hope that it will prove
helpful to other newspapers, faced with sim
ilar queries from readers, we quote it here:
'Surely no one can read this plea unmoved.
Especially those who, in their own families,
have lived through the relentless onslought
of a fatal disease know well what is involved.
Yet the request that news of what these di
seases do to individuals be suppressed raises
a deep question of public policy. Most of us
tend to confuse the report of a dread event
with the event itself. So it is with crime, and
all Qj.her' evils. Always the feeling is that if
news of an evil is suppressed, things will be
better. Yet it is not so, It is the disease, not
news of it, that is the source of the dread. It
is the disease not news of it, that must be sup
pressed. '. -' -.';. "':'..
"Mankind cannot defend itself against dis
ease, death, War, and all the' other evils and
inhumanities unless it looks that truth in the
eye. Hence it is an obligation upon newspap
ers to report what the dread killer diseases
and crippling diseases like cancer, heart ail
ments, polio, cerebral palsy, and all the rest
of that baneful, company, do to men. It can
not be done through statistics alone. Were
some at least of these reports not printed, the
killers could not be conquered. It is a long,
often seemingly hopeless, battle to conquer
them. Only by mobilizing the resources of the
community, as through the various drives
that collect money for research and remedial
care, can it be done. Without a popular back
ground knowledge of what those diseases do,
in concrete and human terms, these drives
would fail.
"Thus more than a given individual is at
stake. If news of this kind is suppressed in
numerable individuals in the future, who
might have benefitted had men rallied to
combat the disease in question, will be hurt.
It is a perilous thing to tamper with the
truth." '

Pleasant Surprises
Those who have seen the excavation for the
new wing of the Haywood Hospital have been
utterly amazed. Few realized the size, and
area the new $750,000 wing would cover.
Looking at the project from the physical
standpoint, we can appreciate the surprise
expressed by so many. And we have a feeling
that equal surprise will be voiced when the
unit is open, and the additional services and
facilities it will provide are available.
Those who worked so hard for the election,
and voted for the, (borxds, ...we ; believe, - have
many pleasant surprises 'Coming as a result of
the new addition.
Publication Of Welfare Rolls
Uncle Sam has seen fit to withdraw $18,-
000,000 fi om the state of Indiana, because of a
recently passed state law which would allow
publication of the welfare rolls in that state.
The state of Indiana, like Florida, who con
sidered the plan, feels that publication of the
welfare rolls will materially reduce the load,
and thus save the taxpayers hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
There is a general feeling existing through
out the nation that many people are taking
advantage of the easy money available
through welfare, and that publication of the
names of all persons receiving welfare funds
would reduce the requirements.
Uncle Sam seems to prefer to protect rath
er than expose.
Under the Indiana plan, legitimate cases
would be subject to publicity, but then a de
serving case Would not be affected, because
, it is no disgrace to be poor or needy. The dis
grace comes when an undeserving person
sponges on the tax payers, and that is what
Indiana is trying to stop, while Uncle Sam
shares a different opinion in the method.

people are always having elections
and votes; and the outcome makes
news.
In the beer elections this vear.
Yadkin has gone dry; Rockingham

Deriand County, wet; and Morgan

Ar "blg-hqrted" people'unselfish'7
Answer: No. They are unself
consclous, and are often genu
inely surprised If you are grate
ful to them. They put themselves
In (he other fellow's place and
enjoy the pleasure they give him
m If they were feeling it them
selves. Such people are altogether
different from the man who will
do anything you ask him because
he ts afraid you will be angry if
he says no, or the one who tries
to atone for his own shortcom
ings by doing things for you at
his own expense. The really "big
hearted" person has got what he
wants from life for himself, and
has surplus of happiness to
share with his neighbors.
Do Americans "idealize
immaturity"?
Answer: Yes, says Dr. Harry A
Overstreet, noted philosopher and
author of "The Mature Mind."
The American "accent on youth"
makes it considerably harder for
us than for people of most other
countries to adjust ourselves to
the approach of old age. We must
train ourselves beforehand to

Will most people "ayp you if-
they eon"?
Answer: Certainly not. The ma
jority of people have acquired a
conscience which Inhibits them
from outright dishonesty, and still
more from taking advantage of a
person who is honest with them.
Besides that, a mature-minded
person realizes that the sense ot
security he gets from a life of fair
play is worth more than any profit
he can get from cheating. There
are people who will "gyp you if
they can" for various neurotic
reasons, but they do not represent
the mass of mankind. Being al
ways on the lookout for dishon
esty in others usually means you
ire attributing your own con
sci6us or unconscious wishes to
them.

NEED FOR MORE BUILDING
" .. BEAUTY -
Editor, the Mountaineer:
I write this with the hope that
the good people of Waynesville and
environs, particularly the : Town
Fathers and those others promot
ing building sites or developments
will in the future give more
thought to good taste in their planning.-You,
and many others, are
familiar with my personal interest
n the artistic things of life and I
must confess that since making
my home here, it has consistently
hurt my sense of good taste to see
how little thought is given to
artistic planning both in town and
in the outlying districts.
Very recently T have noticed
what could have been a very at
tractive homesite is already stamp
ing itself as just ordinary because
of the fact that no requirements as
to the style of houses are being
considered. The initial home under
construction is of a common type
and anyone with taste might not
care about buying in the develop
ment because of it. Realtors take
note.
I have felt that such a lovely
spot as Waynesville is should long
ago have passed zoning, laws. Re
cently, within the city limits, zon
ing restrictions have been adopted
but I believe these mainly affect
only distances between structures
and similar space requirements.
Since there will probably never
be any laws about styles in houses
or zoning outside the city limits I
can only hope that those interest
ed will take more care in the fu
ture appearance of this locale.
It takes so little more financial
layout to guarantee even a better
return on the investment, let alone
the pride that results in a well plan
ned exterior, that it is unfortunate
more study of good lines has not
been exhibited these many years.
Since some of us have to live in
boxes, why not make every effort
to build good looking boxes?
Miss Susan Cone, Gainesville,
Fla.: "I come to Waynesville. be
cause my grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. B. P. Bevil.e have a home
here and it's cool cooler than in
Florida."
Mrs. W, A. Shands, Gainesville,

tude, the peope, and the scenery.'
