More Paving, A Good Investment
Our town officials are pushing another
street paving program, which is planned to
extend over "2 VI miles of streets. The program
is a continuation of the one started several
years ago of paving a mile or so of streets
each year.
Waynesville is fast converting the dirt
roads into nice paved streets, which not only
means a cleaner town, but a healthier town,
since the menace of dust is being cut down
rapidly.
We have always maintained that good pav
ing is an investment, and feel that Waynes
ville is going ahead faster in this phase of
permanent improvement than many towns of
similar size.

' It Is more blessed to give than to receive!
Our greatest happiness comes from what we
give, not what we receive. It is more blessed to
rteach than to listen. It is more blessed to share than
to be shared with. For life has a way of shaping us
' according to what we give. If we seek happiness
'through what we can take in, we soon reach the ex
, cess point. :
A young American girl who had thoroughly en
joyed her stay in Venice was checking out of a hotel
there. As she paid her bill, she remarked to the man
at the desk, "I wish I could stay on here forever,
enjoying this wonder city,"
He smiled Indulgently, and replied, "You would
get tired of it."
It Is more blessed to give than to receive!
An Energetic Organization
Sunday morks the week-long anniversary
of the National Federation of Business and
Professional Women's Clubs. This is their
24th year, and here in Haywood county there
are two active organizations. This year their
slogan for their anniversary observance is
"Full Partnership For The Job Ahead." '
Needless to say, women are today playing
an important role in the business and profes
sional field. And The Mountaineer is devoting
the second section of today's issue to the anni
versary of the Waynesville organization, and
showing in hews and pictorial manner, the
local club.
This is an energetic organization, taking
their work and civic obligations seriously.

Looking BackOver The Years
The lady was slightly deaf but
she kept the fact strictly to her
self. Just as she did other age-
signifying accents, such as Jiuan
locks where tell-tale white locks
were wont to appear and open
toed shoes that allowed No. eights
to escape pressure in No. sixes.
This deficiency in hearing some
times led to embarrassing mo
ments; such as the time the lady
in question attended a banquet at
which several dignitaries of im
portance were present. One of
these gentlemen in being present
ed to the lady, gallantly remarked:
"You remind me of my mother.
She. too, was of the old scnooi."
The lady drew herself up to her
full height: "How dare you call me
an old fool!" she angrily exclaimed,

Highway No. 107 An Important Link
Next Wednesday will be another import
ant road date in Western North Carolina. It
will mark the opening of Highway No. 107
from South Carolina into Jackson county,
thus affording another important link in the
inter-Carolina road system.
Last Wednesday marked the opening of
the 4-mile paved link of the Parkway at Soco
Gap, and this Wednesday the connecting
rcfiM totfpperStftith Carolina.
Highway No. 107 is an important road to
both states, as it will enable travelers from
upper South Carolina to get into the Smoky
region and save several hours traveling time
over prior routes.
We join all Western North Carolina in
throwing out our chest a little further on the
occasion of the opening of another important
link of our regional highway system.
Due Recognition By Rotary
The recognition of Rev. Malcolm R. WiL
liamson by Rotary International, is a deserv
ed honor, and comes as no surprise to those
who have watched his work inreligious,,- and
civic affairs since he came here 11 years ago.
As the new district governor of Rotary,
Mr, Williamson will lead with his limitless
ability to inspire. He has many talents, and
knows when and how to use them to the best
advantage of the program which he wants to
promote.
This is the first time since 1926 that Way
nesville has had a Rotarian in this high posi
tion. The last was the late Ernest L. Withers.
Mr. Williamson will make the Rotarians of
the 280th district a valued leader.

Less Bottle Bumping
Bless his heart, some man with a deep feel
ing for mankind has invented a ketchup dis
penser that pumps j jst the right amount the
user wants, and right at the desired spot. No
longer will it be necessary to pound the bot
tom of the bottle with the palm of the hand
to get the stubborn red goo to make its exit.
On the other hand, will ketchup makers be
happy over the new invention - - - or will it
mean, more of their product will be used be
cause of ease of handling?
News We Like To Hear
It was good news that was given The
Mountaineer last week by L. Dale Thrash,
highway commissioner,' that three crews of
surveyors were engaged in running the line
from the Tennessee line to Cold Springs on
the Pigeon River Road.
Another encouraging note is the fact that
it will be possible that contracts can be let by
next June for actual construction of that link
of the water-level road down Pigeon River
to Newport. '
While our North Carolina engineers are
pushing along the survey of the route, simi
lar workmen in Tennessee are working to get
their end of the 40-iriile road under construc
tion. Some parts of the Tennessee road are
already under construction.
News of any work on the road down Pig
eon river is indeed encouraging - to all of
Western North Carolina.
JORDAN VS POWELL "I give
you the man who is doing the
greatest job on the State level of
any man in United States history."
tWith this i mouthful, Gov. , Kerr
Scott introduced Dr. Henry Jor
dan to 2,500 farmers gathered here
last week for a special meeting. It
was no secret that the Governor
was thus grooming as best he could
the chairman of the State Highway
Commission as his successor. All
well and good on the rural basis
for Textile Man Jordan.
But on the same day that Jor
dan made his bow to the farmers,
he turned a cold shoulder to scores
of little towns and small cities in
this State which desperately need
to employ State machinery and
labor in carrying out the provision
of the Powell Bill.
In other words, cities and towns
of North Carolina are getting about
$4,500,000 from the State for street
upkeep. However, both Jordan and
Seott fought the Powell Bill which
provided these funds. They both
went down swinging after a bitter
legislative battle, and us for the
Governor, he has not recovered to
this very day and still lambasts the
Powell Bill when he runs short of
other exciting material in his
speeches, It's the law of the land
now, but never mind. .......

MIRROR OF YOUR MIND
By LAWRENCE GOULD
Controlling Psychologist
Freud treats the mind and its
"metaphysical" components, "Id,"
"Ego" and "Superego," as not
only real enough to cause neu
roses and psychoses, but power
ful enough to alter the physiologi
cal functions of the human organ
ism. He provides an effective
pnswer to the dogmas of Marx-Ism.
May you be a slave to schedules?
MACHINES In 1938, In the
Washington Merry-(VKound book,
Drew Pearson predicted that the
Gardner forces would lead J. M.
Broughton to victory in 1940. They
were correct, as it turned out. Lat
er, Umstead took on Broughton
for the U. S. Senate and lost.
In 1948, Kerr Scott moved in
against the remnants of the Gard
ner Dynasty which had Been in
power since 1928 and took them to
the cleaners. In iy30. the Simmons
Machine collapsed. Machines just
have a way of running down. The
late J. W. Bailey went to the
U. S. Senate in 1930 on that basis,
Kerr Scott became Governor in the
same manner.
Voice
of the
People
Mrs. Carl Setzer: "I think that
parents should see to it that their
children go to school every day
and that they get their lessons.
But especially I think they ought
to try to get them really interest
ed in their school work."
A recent magazine article by an
eduealor said, "Parents can be
Pests". In what wavs do you think
parents ran help their children get
the most out of going to school?
Answer: Yes, says Dr. Otto
Tenichel." Compulsive neurotics
often take an exaggerated inter
s:9t in time-tables, and may regu
late their whole lives by self
revised schedules. Their uncon
sclous object is to leave no gaps
through which forbidden im
pulses might slip and find ex
pression. If they can account for
Wery minute of the past, they can
feel sure they have done nothing
wrong or punishable and if they
have planned an exact schedule
tot the future, "they are able to
jpvercome the fear that their own
excitement may induce them to
jdo things they are afraid of." The
jnan by whose movements you
' can "set your watch" may merely
toe suffering from a morbid fear
letting himself go.

NEED HELP Most of the
smaller cities do not have street
maintenance - and - construction
equipment. They can't afford to buy
it, a lot of them already being hard
put to it to make financial ends
meet,
, In a closed-door session early last
week the first closed-door meet
ing since the Graham-Smith affair
the State Highway Commission
said nothing doing. Question is,
how are these small communities
scattered throughout the State
going to use the Powell Bill money
if the State won't cooperate with
them? Another question: How are
they going to feel about Henry Jor.
dan, the man to whom they are
looking for assistance, in the event
this help is not forthcoming? It's
easy to look down official noses at
the Utile towns and cities, but they
east a lot- of votesr "
Mrs. Edna Bunks: "I think a child
ought to go to school every day
unless he Is sick. I have one child
in high school and two in the gram
mar grades, and I see to it that
they get there when they're sup
posed to be there. My . little Mary
Frances has just started, and she
has not missed a day except to
have the cast taken off a broken
arm, A chi'd that's out of school
often falls further and further be
hind and loses interest." -
Mrs. Ruby Whitncr: "When my
little girl is old enough, she will
go to school every day if she's not
sick. I know myself that if you
miss much time you get discour
aged." '

Scott realizes he must name (he ; ,,(st thins l nelP a child ln 8et"
next Governor if he expects to
stage a successful campaign against
Willis Smith in 1954, he does not
have a machine even comparable
with those of Gardner and Sim
mons. Evidence of this is the un
certainly that hangs over the vari
ous' State departments here. The
employees whose future with (he
State has depended upon their
backing the right man for Gov
ernor just don't know what, to do.
Consequently, it is known that
many of them are contacting Bill
Umstead by personal visit to his
pfflce in Durham, by telephone, but
seldom by letter, to let him know
they are with him. At the same
time, nevertheless, they are work-
ting his education is to provide
time to do his homework. Some
parents exuect the children to help
with the work around the place

istration.
But in North Carolina it's "the

every four years.
SPECTACULAR Death of
Chief Justice Stacy will probably
lead to some spectacular appoint
ments around at the Justice. Build

THE GOLDEN GATE?
Does psychoanalysis oppose
materialism?
Answer: Yes, says Dr. Bepplno
Disertori, Swiss psychiatrist, in
an article on "Psychoanalysis and
Metaphysics." Materialistic sci
ence has sought to restrict the
sphere of consciousness and even
to prove that it Is powerless or
non-existent; such science says
the mind is mere by-product, of
, the body, of little or no impor
tance to it. On the other hand,
Answer: Yes, In so far as it is
unrealistic as you expect more
ot yourself than you are capable
of being or doing. An impossible
ego-ideal may have started with
unreasonable demands made on
you by your parents, or with an
exaggerated idea ot their power
and perfection. It is normal for a
boy to aspire to be as "big" or
"good" as Daddy when be grows
up, but if he imagines Daddy to
'be too much bigger and better
than he actually is, the boy may
develop an ego-ideal that will
.give him a crushing feeling of In
adequacy. It is wiser not to be too
rigid In the standards you set for
yourseilf, but to be satisfied to do
the best you can.
