August 7, 1952 Daily Bread 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." ?SNPA Bulletin. 11 Thtjytt Do It Evafy Tuft; ' By finimy "Hado [ ?

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.

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. Letters To The ] I "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 from the bringing crfl platform plank, and F.i^H he would could not 1 the platforx.^H It i- uniunH thinking. .tbt^B ern State fl North Cardial own < or.des^^H State law: :::^H they complv^l and thu;, that insultir.jH ed the and glory is.

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.
