A Bible Verse For Solicitors There is so much undiscovered wisdom In the Bible that a more or less regular Reader is often, charmed with the new truths thftt he finds. For example, there is a verse which tolls man not to give out the old alibi: Tl pay, you Saturday." Or to put off splicitors lor a good cause until a later date. The Vefse in Proverbs says: "Say not to' thy neighbor, Go and come again and tornorrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee." Perhaps if some would read their Bible more, they could refer to such passages to a good advantage. ; Obituary notices, resolutions of respect, card of thank, and all notices of entertainment for profit, will be charged for at the rate if two cents per word. .

Shooting Fireworks Still Illegal -TVi-- nonorol A ci?oyviVltr rif 1 017 rnotA n law which prohibited the sale or shooting of firewtyks in North Carolina. iHaywood had such a law several years prior tp the adoption to the state-wide law, .The law is still on the books, yet there seems to be a growing tendency to shoot more fireworks every year. Here in Haywood the situation grows wprse nearer Christmas. During the football season, a number of persons engaged in the dangerous practice of shooting firecrackers ' dlring the games. . ; Jxvi-r -"- .. . Fortunately, here in Haywood, there have, nqt been any reported accidents from fire works, but that does not mean that the dan ger has been eliminated. Down in the Eastern part of the state, sev eral days ago, four boys were shooting fire works. One of the crackers was tossed too near a cargo gasoline transport tanker. A ter iffic explosion resulted, with all four boys instantly killed, besides great property dam age resulted. It . was not too many years ago--yet long er than some of the present shooters remem bqr that a devastating explosion took place injAsheville, bringing death and suffering to a number of people. Shooting fireworks In crowds, and espec ially around public buildings is one of the most dangerous pastimes yet devised, Words Of Force Words are" something everyone has at their disposal, provided they make proper use ot them. Lewis F. Gordon, an Atlanta banker, has made a special study of words, suggests that people use short words in an effort to get folks to act, and to understand your position. He recently wrote: : ; v Words are tools to be used to shape the ways of men if used well. War tims calls for force. The words of war have force. Fight shoot kill maim stab gutis planes - tanks .all these and rriore are short,, erse but each has force..!; x ; r To shape the ways of men to move them to act that is the 'goal' we' seek Whn we put words in print to sell. Why not use words which have such force? Long words veil thoughts in print or speech. What does the man say who seeks aid right now? He shouts "Help"-'Help." ; He has no time for long words. He' wants a friend to act at once. That which we feel is best said in short words. "I love you" "Please give me a kiss" are pleas which have force. "I hate you" leaves no doubt of what we have in mind. "Buy now" "do it now" "the price is right why not act at once?" all these and more stir us to make up our minds. ' '" Long words have use at times, of course, but if short words tell the same tale, why not use them and be sure?, When next you speak in print and want t6 get folks to act on what you have to say, why not try short words? , . t This piece is written, entirely in 226 words of one syllable.

Cushions have come and gone but we have sat on. Last Saturday out of the deep, dark gloom of midnight our mind, hav lng nothing special to do at the moment, asked us if our desk chair had arms. Why, of course it did; we did a flash-back as to how the chair sometimes stuck when we tried to push it under our desk at quitting-time. Or was that the supports that spread out? Of course! Remember the time our dress caught on a nail and tore? That was from a nail that held the arm to the back or was it the back where it fastened to the seat? At long last came Monday and we found out. Ladies and gentlemen, the desk-chair does NOT have arms. Routine can certainly blind our eyes and shut the door of ob servation, ,.

This nat ural exhibitionism must be grad ually controlled, but be careful that in teaching your child to do thia, you don't give him the im pression that he "ought to bo ashamed of himself," men tall or physically. V Can your wift remain your twotthoart? Answer: That depends on sev- eral factors, but one of the largest them is your basic feeling about "moral obligations." For the dif , ference between a wife and a 1 sweetheart is that you are apt to i teel it is your duty to love your j wife while a sweetheart is some- !J" - m.' vak. one whom you love because you vant to. In so far as duty is asso- dated in your mind with pleas urable feelings like security and the approval of your parents, you will be able 'to love your wife without mental reservations. But the more you grew up feeling that duty and pleasure are opposites, the more difficult it will be for you to feel romantic toward a person whom it if your duty to law.

It is not "lack of self -consciousness" that makes a small child love to parade himself undressed it is "vanity" and the desire to attract attention And as he grows older, he'is ao Can psychiatry be preventive? - Answer; Yes, says Dr, Theodore A. Watters, Louisiana State Uni versity psychiatrist. Psychiatry is moving increasingly from the narrow, though Important, field of treating mental illness to that of promoting mental health by the improvement of conditions, espet dally in the home, that cause neurosis oi; psychosis, and of working to harmonize the medi cal treatment of the body with what is known of the mind's needs. With Its understanding of the motives behind man's be havior, psychiatry can . throw light on all human relations, from the way a baby should be weaned to the unconscious reasons which mke people accept a dictator. HOLD ON HERE The State, Raleigh's weekly magazine, is con ducting its annual poll on North Carolina's Man of the Year. Among those nominated in the current issue is one Kerr Scott, "because it was his idea to push a program for more and better roads for our State and he is doing what1 he promised us." The letter hap pens to be from Mrs. Joe Graham of Iron Station in Lincoln County. now, hold on here, Mrs. Gra pam. The State - wants unbiased opinion; and you know your hus band is a member of Scott's State Highway Commission. " - It is funny the way family opin ion swings. From 1937 until about 1945 the Graham's of Lincoln Coun ty had little use for Kerr Scott, be cause he so soundly trounced their kin Will Graham, when he ran for State Commissioner of Agriculture In 1936. The father of the Graham whom Scott licked had defeated Scott's father for commissioner many years before. So, it is easy to see how the Scott's and the Gra ham's were bitter political foes for several years, However, along about 1945, Kerf Scott made a bid for Graham friendship. The feud came to an end. In 1948, the former foes of Scott were his vigorous supporters lor Governor. He rewarded them by making Joseph Graham of Iron Station, a very capable gentleman; a member of the State Highway commission. Now Mrs. Graham wants him to he The State's Man of the Year, Hint; Mrs. Graham should con- sldtr casting a vote for Evangelist Billy Graham, who is probably no Kin, but who seems to be In the lead as North Carolina's Man of the Year for 1951.

"Oh, there's another thing that I've done wrong and another that's the worst of all why should I have ever been a mother anyway? "When I go home I'm going to change a lot of things. Gertrude's got to help me more. Cleero must i keep his room tidied up. LltUe Dot must' eat her carrots ; and f be broken of thumb-sucking. I must get them all to bed much earlier, and that quarrelling must be stopped." . It Doesn't Work' Dejected Mother Mllligan goes home; she begins to put in force her resolutions. But alas I She quickly meets with disappoint ment. The children grumble and grow stubborn and their quarrels multiply. The mother, vexed at . their resistances, drives harder, making them rebellious, disobed lent and Irritable. Even Dad grows crabbed. Never was the family at mosphere so highly charged with tensions. A few more days of this and Mother Milligan either grows more irritable, annoying every body or gives up In despair and soliloquizes, "What's the use? I'm Jus a terrible mother, I guess." It would have been a whole lot better if she had not ,heard that lecture. Some conscientious motherk are affected , likewise . when they read a book on rearing children. - ' . ..
