' MiiinMii inirniui ASSOCfAirdM wl -3K3- Ml. f'lbgah Oeaeivev I A Better Road The Forest Service recently erected signs at the entrance to the road to Mt. Pisgah read ing: "Travel at your own risk." That is in dicative 6f the condition of the 7 miles of road between Wagon Road Gap and Elk Pas ture Gap. The roads to these two points are paved, but the 7i--mile connecting link is in terrible condition. ; This newspaper has time and time again pointed out that in the years past this area publicized Mt. Pisgah as one of the leading scenic attractions in the East. Now due to the road conditions to the foot of the majestic peak, the once famous attraction is almost forgotten. - ''".. : We fail to understand the position of the Forest Service relative to this road project. While we do not pose as an authority on road construction, a casual trip over the road re veals that the culverts and side drainage ditches are filled with dirt and rocks, and the surface water is forced to the center of the road, and there makes a riverlet washing off what dirt is on the roadbed. The Pisgah Forest Service has enjoyed a steady increase of travel throughout the past few years, and has even gone beyond the mil lion mark for visitors during a year. However, the fact remains, that the visitors do not want to remain entirely on Highway No.' 276, and the immediate side roads, but prefer to visit the top Mt. Pisgah the crowning glory of the entire Pisgah National Forest'. It seems that the Forest Service is letting the opportunity of their lifetime slip, by not making immediate improvement to the road. They argue, we know, the lack of funds as the big reason for not making the improvements. But this improvement will Create more traf fic, and make the area better known, and in our opinion be worth more than for some pro jects on which much Forestry; money is now being spent. ' . ; : . Officials will find, we are sure, that a vast improvement can be made on the road with out too much of an expenditure. The same of ficials recently pointed out that long hauls would have to be made of materials for im proving the road. There seems to be a more practical, and closer source of materials than they suggest. The present attitude would indicate that the officials are against travel into the heart of Pisgah.

Purnell Bailey Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforters! Richard Cobden came to comfort his friend John Bright when the latter had lost his beautiful wife in death. In the midst of his blinding grief Bright Sought comfort from any source. Strangely enough, Cobden began to tell him about the thousands of British homes which were in the shadow of starvation be cause of the Corn Laws. In his grief, Blight was challenged to use his brilliant statesmanship to go out and relieve the suffering. And, in going forth to lift the heavy burd ens of others, John Bright found solace in his own sorrow. Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforters!

We had a joke played on us the other morning that had such a pleasant reaction we enjoyed be ing the "victim". We found our basket piled high with work when we arrived on press-day morning and we immediately began to "dive in". One of the make-up men came to our rescue to, as he said, "select first-run" material. And what he placed before our astonished eyes was a huge pile of copy paper, blank. When this was removed, the pile had dwindled to the usual size and a weight was removed from our mind. Heard in passing: "I put oii my best dress and fix up when 1 go see any picture Gregory Peck plays in." We saw an example of .man's selfish inconsideration of the rights of others, on Saturday afternoon when Main -street traffic was at its heaviest. He double-parked his car just south of the traffic light at the intersection of Main and De pot streets, which made it danger bus for automobiles back of him to swing out and proceed on their way. He stubbornly stood his ground despite the frantic honking of horns and the blocking of traf fic as far back as Church street.

Last week it came: and they sidestepped ij neatly, but, albeit, only temporarily. Highway personnel outside Ra leigh, including prison guards, en gineers, and field men firmly ask ed for a five-day work week. They felt entitled to it, as you might suppose, what with the heat waves shimmering over the highways in the middle 90's day after day and their colleagues on the State pay roll working only five days in the shade. , After some study, the officials said nothing doing, adding that they have a mandate from the peo ple to complete the S-OO.OOO.OOO rural road bond program as soon as possible. This marks only the first re quest. Sooner or later highway workers will go to the five-dav week, or other State employees back to the five-and-a-half. "That taught me that no matter how hard you are trying or how well you are doing, you always have it in you to do a little better. I'll never forget that race." What are your plans for the fall?

MIRROR OF YOUR MIND iMdHllhiiiIk - " ; tea I . . . a s p9:! . urn 1 Mm . m . i 1 By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist' nervous strain on a child. If you are the sort of person who Is "up in the clouds" one moment and "down In tho dumps" the next, try to keep your feelings to yourself when you are with your young sters. Or still better, try to find what makes you "high-strung and learn to relax and take it easy. TIME MARCHING Sometimes North Carolina " receives rough treatment at tho hands of the na tional magazines. Three weeks ago it was Negro trouble in Caswell County, Last week it wasn't so bad. Time Magazine had the following item under "Honest Bob" head ing: "in High Point, N. C, after a friend squared the $9.00 he owed on bad cheeks, Robert Den ny was freed from jail just in time to play his role of Abraham Lin coln in the town's historical pageant." Can you see things as they really are? Answer: Never wholly, says Dr. Leopold Bellak, New York Uni versity psychiatrist, In a sympo sium on Projective Psychology which he edited with Dr. L. E. Abt. Because you "project" your feelings and desires on the world outside you, every impression you get from It will be more or less "distorted" to conform to your unconscious wishe? and needs. An extreme example is the sort of person who takes almost anything you say to him as a dlur or criti cism. But however normal you are! what you "perceive" never is experiences or sensations as they are: it Is your "interpretation" of them In the light of your particu lar unconscious bias. Do "high-strung" people make good parents? Answer: Not if they cannot con ceal their tenseness from their children, which is anything but easy. For next to love, what a child and still more a baby needs most Is an atmosphere of calm and security. Just to be in the same room with spmeone who is in a temper or a "tizzy" is a .Copyright, 1851, King rntuies SyndlctU, Inc.). Should a "mental history" bar life insurance? Answer: Not necessarily, gays Dr. Daniel Blain In the Journal of Insurance Medicine. Psychoses (popularly called insanity) are now much better treated and have a better chance of cure than in the past, and neuroses, under favor able conditions, may be cured completely; For this reason people who have been neurotic, and to some extent former psychotics may be looked upon m better "risks" than formerly, provided they can show that their cure was due to psychiatric treatment. Peo ple who got well "spontaneously" without insight into the cause of their illness should be regarded wmi suspicion. WHO WAS HE? Kerr Scott was in a winding way one night last we-k as he addressed farmers and their wives gathered here at State College for annual Farm and Home Week. At one point in his talk, he said we need more Federal power In North Carolina, hinting strongly that our North Carolina Congressmen are elected by the big power companies and are thus preventing Federal encroachment on private power in Tarheelia. About that time, somebody got up and walked out. Scott was ap parently as hot as a bachelor writ ing a love letter, for he growling- ly thundered something to the ef feet thatr "yonder goes one of those radio commentators. No wonder he's walking out. He's sup ported by the big power com panies." A check around town the next day by those common taters Scott was referring to showed that not one was at State College hearing his speech; Jesse Helms of Radio Station WRA; a eonstant horse fly constantly feeing kicked at by the Governor .tried In vain to have a word with the Governor on that walking commentator. At week's end nobody in Ra leigh, and this probably includes Kerr Scott, knew exactly who walk ed out" on the farmers at State College, Jimmy Swift: "1 plan to enter Georgia Institute of. Technology in Atlanta and take a course in engin. eering. I will be in Naval R.O.T.C as a regular student for the four years of college." THE RUNNER When Kerr scott announced as a candidate for Governor, a lot of people didn't Know he used to be a hot track man at btate College. A lesson he learn ed then no doubt hepled him with his running in 1948. Ulck Herbert, sports editor for the Raleigh News and Observer, quotes me uovernor in the follow ing little anecdote: "There was one rare I remem ber well because of , thejesson.lt laugiH me. ii was a tour-mile event and the finish line was down near the courthouse.

Then we could see things, hear things and feel ,thlngs not present to our senses to such a degree that we neyer would be bored. Besides, what we really saw or heard or felt could be enriched immeasur ably. Our lives could be so much more Interesting and we could be far more attractive to our chil dren and other people. And how imuch more we could achieve! If we only had a small portion i of the tot's ability to create In our imagination we could under stand him better, appreciate htm more as a person and be more r companionable with him. - We I could go with him Into his en i chanted world and talk with his elves, brownies and fairies. We wouldtthen have better manners i toward our little child and would not embarrass him by being dull, Indifferent and rude in the pres ence of his invisible companions. We would treat them as Impor tant persons then and, in doing so, would treat him as he deserves to be treated. Must Seem Rude How discourteous we must seem to our little childNwhen we inter rupt him and his Imaginary crea tures at the very time when they are conversing seriously or en- gaged In a very important enter prise. Insofar as we" are rude to them, we are rude to him; so he must suppose. And how the child jtwo, three or four playing or i conversing with his precious Imaginary companions or talk ing earnestly with them as if they were real, must feel when , we ignore him and them or make j fun of him and encourage other aauits to join in the ridicule. It must be the last straw when some adult tells him at such times that he is lying lying when he sup posed he never had been nearer (if to the truth!
