All things ?ork together for good to them that
low God!
Nearly two decades ago America's foremost
atheist. Mr. Clarence Darrow. had this advice to
give to the young men and women of his day, as
reported in the newspapers.
"If I were a young man, with life ahead of me,
I think I d chuck it all, the way things are now.
The odd- are too great against ><su and anyway,
the world is all wrong nowadays."
And as if that were not enough, he went on: "I
certainly have no encouragement for the young
bloods that are just starting out looking for jobs.
The sooner they jump out of windows, the sooner
they'll tind peace."
Yet Paul in all his anguish and suffering could
through faith give us our theme for today.
All things work together for good to them that
love God!
Cooperation Pays Off Again
City officials were warm in their praise of
the quick, and unanimous response of the
citizens of this community as to the conserva
tion of water.
The officials kept putting off the request
from week to week in the hopes of adequate
rainfall to relieve the situation. However,
the rain did not come, and they announced
the restrictions.
The people readily responded, and realized
the importanc of cooperating. In some towns,
some people felt that the water shortage was
for the other fellow and not them. That was
not the case here in this community. Every
one felt that the situation called for their co
operation, and the curtailment use of every
gallon of water possible.
It is nice to know that you liv# in a com
tmunity that so readily responds, and is so
anxious to cooperate in matters of such grave
importance as the water shortage.
Summer Snow Plow
Clearing snow from a driveway is hardly a
problem which will worry anyone these
sweltering days. But two Cleveland men are
working on a device which will enable auto
mobile drivers to back out of their driveways
without raising a shovel next winter.
The invention consists of two "plowettes"'
which can be attached to the bumpers of a
car. The plowettes are light in weight but
sturdy enough to push two wheeled paths
through the snow. The inventors believe the
plowettes will be beneficial to persons who
cannot shovel driveways but who must use
their cars.
Foresight is wonderful. And the thought of
a bit of crisp, white snow might even be a
comfort to a person tired of sweating under
a hot sun.
Big Platform Attractions ?i
We can well expect the national spotlight
to be turned on Lake Junaluska about the
middle of this month when Senator John
Spar km ar. Democratic vice presidential nom
inee, and Evangelist Billy Graham, occupy
places on the platform program.
Both of these gentlemen attract large audi
ences wherever they go, and at the Lake will
be no exception. Last year hundreds jam
med the auditorium two hours before Mr.
Graham spoke. The same will no doubt hold
true again this year.
Because of Senator Sparkman's prominence
in the political world today, he will attract
a large group, both as the political figure,
and as an outstanding Methodist layman. He
was already scheduled for the program prior
to the Democratic convention.
With attendance at the Lake already run
ning some 35 per cent ahead of last year, it
is safe to believe that with such men as are
slated for the program this month, that a new
high record for attendance will be set for the
Assembly.
A Generous Gift
The generosity, and interest in helping
make Haywood a better place in which to
live, was felt last week, as a check for $10,000
from the Champion Paper's Foundation was
given the Haywood county Hospital for the
purchase of modern X-ray equipment.
X-ray equipment comes high, and the mod
ern type which is being installed at the Hos
pital, in a special room of the new wing, will
give the patrons of this situation the latest
available. *
The generous check from the Champion
Foundation means that we will soon have
right here in Haywood, such facilities as are
needed for almost every known type of X
ray need.
All of us do a certain amount of wishful
thinking, in trying to make ourselves feel
that w# will never need the facilities of a
hospital. But the law of averages is against
us, and sooner or later, the large majority
will need and use hospital facilities.
Many firms, and individuals during the
past 24 years have given funds for equipment,
and furnishings to the Hospital. Without
these generous gifts, the institution would
not have been able to attain the position and
to render the services offered today.
Contest Prizes Taxable;
Not A Gift, Court Holds
A contest prize is taxable income and not
a gift, a U. S. Appeals Court has held. Leroy
J. Robertson submitted a symphony in a con
test sponsored by Henry H. Reichhold, a phil
anthropist. His composition won a $25,000
prize. Mr. Robertson included the award in
his tax return as income, but later filed a
claim for refund on the ground the prize was
a nontaxable gift. This claim was disallowed
by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, but
the Commissioner was overrulled by the U.
S. Tax Court.
The Commissioner then appealed the case
to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, which
reversed the decision of the Tax Court. Said
the higher court: "In a legal sense payment of
a prize to a winner of a contest is the dis
charge of a contractual obligation." The dis
charge of legal obligations?the payment for
services rendered is in no sense a gift, the de
cision declared.
The court added that the case would be dif
ferent if an award were made in recognition
of past achievements or present abilities.
"Where the payment is in return for services
rendered, it is irrelevant that the donor re
ceives no economic benefit from it."

Rambling 'Kj
ft**. Of Human lnirrttt \,Xj
By Frances Gilbert
Ib three months it will be the
privilege of all adults over the age
of twenty-one to put their name
to a vote that will be instrumental
in deciding the men who will car
ry on the management of this great
country of ours. For the first time
in many an election year, we have
two men who vre candidates for
the Presidency of almost equal
brilliance, ability and personality
Mr. Eisenhower is, perhaps, much
the better known throughout the
world as his military career put
him before peoples of every na
tion. His exceptional ahility as a
general has placed him at the bead
of important personages abroad
and at home.
Gov. Stevenson has pursued the
even tenor of his way, winning the
plaudits of his country and his
state. His masterful command of
the English language will endear ,
him to the listeners of his speeches. |
over radio, in person and on TV.
This should be one of the finest
opportunities we have ever been
offered to really enjoy an election
preamble, for we have two most
worthy contestants for the First
Position in the land.
Heard in passing: "I don't
know what her racket is, but it
certainly makes a good report." *
He was one of the most embar
rassed young men we have ever
seen. He found himself in the
midst of a chattering group of
young ladies, the only man pres
ent, brought there by circumstances
beyond his control. He being the
only passenger on his bus, he had
been transferred to the one filled
with young ladies returning home
from a summer camp. They would
separate in Asheville en route to
their destinations but until Ashe
ville was reached, this young man
was in misery. With the uncanny

^TbvJAMES j|. POUBAILEV^
TOGETHER?When William B.
Umstead and Kerr Scott sit down
together to find a successor to
] Clyde A. Erwin, they must come up
{with a man acceptable to the Scott
crowd and to Umstead's State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee.
You understand, of course, that
the Governor has full authority to
name Erwin's successor for the re
mainder of the present term. But
the Executive Committee must ap
point the man to run against the
Republican candidate on Novem
ber 4.
JAMES?When a vacancy occur
red on the State Supreme Court
with the death of Justice Seawell,
the Governor disregarded the
Executive Committee and appoint
ed Utilities Commissioner Josh
James' brother of Wilmington. He
held the place only a shojjt time.
No doubt* a fine man, he was un
known generally about the State.
We don't recall his first name; and
doubt that you do.
SAME?Jeff Johnson succeeded !
James. Johnson had managed
Frank Graham's campaign for the
U. S. Senate. He was the choice of
the Committee. A native of Clin
ton. Johnson is making an excel
lent record on the State Supreme
Court.
Gov. Scott knows that "the
work is piling up over there" in
the superintendent of education's
office. He does not want a recur
rence of the James affair. That is
why he is sitting down with Urn
stead: so that his man and the
Executive Committee's will be the
same.
NATURAL?Although his name
has not been mentioned, a natural
for the superintendent's position is
Claude F. Caddy, who now handles
religious education for the State
Baptist Convention.
Gaddy. who is one of 10,000 of
I that name in the Union County
area of the State, has broad ex
I perience. He is ndt only one of
the finest Christian characters we
have ever known, he has been
county superintendent of schools
(Union), city superintendent (Ra
leigh), a college instructor (Wake
Forest summer schools), and offi
cial of the State Department of
Education (the old Equalization
Board, parent of our modern
school system, set up in 1927).
You can't beat a Gaddy, in Sweet
(Union or inywhere else. As for
Claude, he is probably the most
popular man around Raleigh.
Others in the running: June
Rose, Greenville superintendent of
schools; Charlie Carroll, superin
tendent, High Point City Schools;
and Joe R. Nixon, Lincoln County
Schools. The word we get is that
nobody over 60 will be chosen for
J the position, which is one of the
I most arduous in our State govern
ment. Gaddy is around 55.
$7,000 MORE?'A new wrinkle in
North Caroliha politics seems to
be moving along rather well. If
you would like to contribute to
Judge Hubert Olive's unsuecess
fulu campaign for Governor, con
tributions are still being glady re
ceived.
When the contest was over, Cam
paign Manager R. G. Earp said that
Olive was $12,000 short of meet
ing campaign expenses. Earp said
last week this amount had been
whittled down to around $7,000 by
contribution from friends. He
thinks friends should help Judge
Olive defray the remainder. If you
would like to" make a contribution,
sent it directly to Judge Olive in
Lexington, or to Dr. Earp at
Smithfield, or W. K. Scott, Ra
leigh. They will see that it reaches
the proper channel.
TUG'OF WAR?He would like
to come to North Carolina, but as
Democratic nominee for the Presi
dency he must remain free of local
political controversy. This may
prevent Adlai Stevenson's visit to
this State before the election in
November.
He had no right to do so, not
knowing whether the Democrats
would even want him after the con
vention, but Chairman Frank Mc:
Kinney assured Jonathan Daniels
and Kerr Scott when he was here
last spring that President Tru
man and the Democratic Presi
dential nominee would launch the
Democrats' light for their sixth
consecutive term in the WhitQ
House from Kerr Scott's farm at
Haw River.
Now Jonathan Daniels talked to
Stevenson for quite a while a few
hours after his nomination ? no
doubt telling him of Chairman Mc
Kinney's promise and'urging him
to come to Haw River. But now
McKinney says he wants to resign
as chairman of the party, and Tru
man is awaiting word from Steven
son as to what he will do.
Voice
of the
People
What was the highlight of the
farm tour so far as you were con
cerned?
Henry Francis: Frankly, I liked
all of it. The County Agent's office ,
worked up a fine trip and a nice (
program. I suppose though, that
getting back to Haywood County
was the best part of the trip for
me. The more I see of the rest of
the world, the more I like it here.
Mrs. Hardy Liner: I liked the
trip through Connecticut and the
tour of the International Silver
Company plant. The next best thing
was the beautiful, well-kept coun
tryside on the trip through Canada.
Stanley Williamson: I liked the
trip through the Parliament build
ings in Ottawa. Canada, and also
the beautiful drive through the
New England states.
George Dewey Stovall: There
were so many I'd hate to say. How
ever, I enjoyed visiting the experi
ment station in Ottawa. The sta
tion itself was enotmous. We saw
many of their experiments, such as
methods of improving grass silage,
different methods of pasturing, and
the like. The trip this year was, I
think, better than last year.

"THE BIG FIGHT"
0
Editor, Mountaineer:
At the Chicago convention of the
Democratic party, not only was the
will of the South defeated and its
delegates insulted, but notice was
served on it by unmistakable evi
dence that it has not now and never
will have any voice in the affairs of
the party, except as it pleases the
big city machines and the labor
bosses, who now have control of
the party, and only on such occa
sions as it will benefit these min
ority groups by the certain Demo
cratic vote pf the South in a Na
tional election.
These bosses made it plain in no
uncertain words that they had to
have the vote of the big city ma
chines, the negroes, and the labor
vote of the Northern and Central
industrial States in order to win,
and if they had that, they would
not need the vote of the Southern j
States.
In order to gain that end, they
attempted to drive the Southern;
States out of the Convention,' first. |
by introducing a resolution calling i
for pledges of loyalty, aimed direct-'
ly at the South, something that
has never been'done before in the
history of the party, and. secondly,
attempting to insert such a strong
FEPC plank in the platform, that
the South could not and would not
accept it.
It was freely admitted that Sen
ator Russell, of Georgia, was in all
probability the best qualified man
in the race for the nomination, and
yet they kept repeating, until they
almost believed it themselves, that
he coud not win because he was

MIRROR*OF YOUR MIND
, By LAWRENCE GOULD
Consulting Psychologist .
May attitudes "speak louder than words"?
Answer: Yes. There is very
little use, for Instance, in telling
a child how much you love him if
your attitude is cold or critical, or
in professing "democratic" ideas
yet behaving snobbishly toward
your supposed inferiors. The rea
son why attitudes reveal more
than words is that you are apt to
be less conscious of them and the
less conscious control you exer
cise over anything you do, the
more nearly it will express your
true unconscious feelings. How
ever, your attitudes must be
Judged by your actions, not by
What you say they are when you
report them to someone on whom
you are trying to "make an lm
?ression.*.
Should offenders bo examined
before sentence?
Answer: Yes, writes Dr. Shel
don Glueck, noted criminologist
in the Journal ot Criminal Law
and Criminology. Twelve reports
made to the International Con
gress ot Correction at its 1950
meeting in Paris were unanimous
In taking the position that the aim
ot punishment tor crime should
be the "corrective" treatment ot
the offender, not mere vengeance
and that In prescribing treatment,
the Judge should have the help of
a pre-sentence examination of the
prisoner by psychiatrists who can
say what is most likely to be help*
ful. There are even "prediction
tables" which foretell a criminal's
chances of rehabilitation.
j < ^ ? liriiay
Will change of environment
> help neurosis?
Answer: This Is most ajit to be
true with children, says Dr. Otto
Fenlchel. "It a child is neurotic
because he is afraid of unfriendly
surroundings, a change In these
surroundings may change his fear
and therewith his repressions and
his neurosis." This, however, is no
longer true once the neurosis has
become "internalized" because
the? the effects of early experi
ences are sealed off by repression
and cannot be modified by those
of new ones. In later Ufe, im
provement based on change of
environment lasts no longer than
the change does, though a visit to
a sanitarium may provide a more
favorable chance for psychiatric
treatment.
