NATIONAL EDITORIAL', ASSOCHTIOM J V ' All Business, and Educational Haywood citizens should make it a point to visit trie dairy-beef catile show at the Armory on Friday and Saturday. This ar ray of fine cattle will give our citizens a new outlook on the value and importance of the two industries to this county. The owners of the animals have gone to a lot of trouble in preparing their cattle for the show, and the Chamber of Commerce, a co sponsor, is equally as proud of the showings which will be made. Since about tHree millions a year is real ized from the type cattle which will be shown here this week-end, it will be of Interest to every citizen to see first hand these fine animals.'.-. .,'.;.' Another thing that impresses us about this show is that it is "all business" without fanfare of objectionable carnivals. It is strict ly business of displaying Haywood's fine beef and dairy animals. Thursday Afternoon, October 11, 1931 , Straws In The Wind A number of publications are making sur veys of potential presidential candidates for 1952. Among such publications is The Nation al Publisher, which has a readership among thousands of newspaper editors. The questionnaire asked two questions: name the best qualified Democratic candi dates; name the best qualified Republican candidates. For the Democrats, Senator Paul Douglas received 49, President Truman 48 and Senat or Harry Byrd 47. On the Republican side, Senator Robert Taft received 7; General Dwight Eisenhower 63, and Governor Earl Warren 23. Interesting enough, the trend of thinking of a majority of editors was that the indepen dent vote would be a major factor in the 1952 election. All that is interesting enough, but the av erage American cannot help remembering the polls which went so far from right in 1932 and also in 1943 remember the Literary Digest poll of Hoover-Roosevelt, and the Gallup poll in the Truman-Dewev race? . ; 1 A Life-Long Monument To Progress The progress being made in the construc tion of the new addition to the Haywood Hos pital is encouraging. The foundation and basement walls are up to the first floor, which means the slow, and tedious part is complete. With the necessary steel coming in on time, the walls should rise rapidly, and the entire project take shape fast. Already it can be seen that the building will "be a monument to the progressiveness of tne county, and the added space will give Haywood county a hospital that it can look to with pride and satisfaction for a long, long time.

AW HER NICE UTILE GKLJ FDR OiC.E I WANfT XX) TO UXK OUR The Hungry Park Bears The news originally carried in this news paper about hungry bears slipping out of the Park and destroying valuable cattle has gone far and wide. Several newspapers have com mented on the incidents in their editorial col umns, including The Greensboro Daily News. The News said: "We hope the North Caro lina Wildlife Resources Commission saves Tom Alexander from the bears up around his mile-high Cataloochee Ranch near; Waynes ville. ,J "Newspaper men went up to see how Tom Was making out the other day, and found things are going to the bears, It's a case of ''doing something about the bears or going out of the business," Tom says, and that ought to make all us down-country, over-civilized Tar Heels perk up our ears. The bears know all the rules about nation al parks, They lumber over Tom's 38th par allel, slaughter a mile-high cow or two, then ' drag the carcass back in their sanctuary. Park law allows no weapons or dogs on park property. State law says a man may kill a bear out of season on his property but only when he catches him in the marauding act. Tom and his two dozen cattle - owning neighbors on both sides of the Smoky Mount ain National Park know the bears are too smart for that. They strike unexpectedly, and nobody can patrol all the danger points. The real reason for the bear trouble, Tom says, is that for generations the bears had been living on the fringe of civilization mooching off the berry patches, apple or chards, corn fields, and garbage cans. Now that the park authorities have moved all of the mountain families out of the park, the fruit resources have deterioriated, and the bears, following civilization to the new bord ers, have developed a taste for fresh meat. A late freeze last year killed most of the wild berry crop. When the Wildlife Resources folks meet, Tom and his friends expect to be there to talk about bears. They want to ease the state law a bit and authorize a few more ' bear hunts, for one thing. And since Tom and his neighbors have a real problem here, we hope they get relief. If the Park Service wants to keep its bears, it ought to rustle them up the kind of chow they need and Tom's cattle aren't it.

Not being of the same ilk as Ambassador Waynick, Chair man Jordan took the low road. His decision came rather reluctantly and quietly, but apparently it was just as definite as Waynick's. The only difference is that Jordan is no rooftop-shouter. You can always tell who pays the bills a round a place of . business. He's the old fashioned fellow who turns out the lights that are not being used. Success is easy to applaud. Let's offer a few cheers for the rugged Joes who failed more than once, but 'couldn't be counted out. "Pierce County Herald, Ellsworth, Wis. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND ii Is "introspection" useful? t i By LAWRENCE GOULD " Consultinf Psychologist leaves the majority ot patients somewhat better, off than they were before they are practically never really normal.

In this way, they point out, Truman can get good agricultural support and pick up straying strength in the South, In omer words, Truman, Olive, - and Scott will be on the platform at the Winston-Salem affair. But, if the Governor runs for vice president, , what about his plans on running for lieutenant governor? included may run considerably more than that of the Governor. It must be admitted in Justice to him that no person in recent years has brought as much nation wide publicity to North Carolina as Carl Snavely. FINANCIAL NOTE Say, young fellow, want to become a news paperman? I ' mean a good one like, the late Tom Bost. For nigh on to 50 years he was the recog nized champ in North Carolina. He lived well, though modestly. He left art estate, it was revealed last week, of approximately $20,000. Want to be a working newspaper man? ' ? Or you might prefer to get into law. Chief Justice W. P. Stacy died on the same day as Tom Bost. Associates heie, were surprised last week to find, that he had left an estate of over $250,000. -i Of course, these figures tell noth ing.

Answer: Not really, in the sense of making the sufferer "as good as new," says Dr. Walter Freeman . of George Washington University. The results of psychological tests of its results are as yet inconclu sive. The most that can be said in favor of brain surgery as a way of treating mental ailments it that it (Coj.rrl.lit, mi, Has fmXvm SadiMta, Im.). Answer: No, particularly if the drug they use is heroin, a five-times-more-potent form Of mor phine, says Dr. Robert V. Seliger in a pamphlet, "The 'Dope On Dope." "Every man, womari and child should know . . . that the use of heroin is a habit that cannot voluntarily be Stopped," because the drug creates a condition in which the demands 6f (the vic tim's) body require several doses a day to prevent the terrible suf fering Of withdrawal illness."
