An Excellent Project
The Kiwanis Club has set a standard here
for local entertainment which other civic
clybs in money-making endeavors might
wel^ follow.
The Club sponsored the concert by David
Rubinoff, the world-famous violinist. In so
doing, the organization took a chance of
bringing such a program at a financial loss.
Fortunately, they came out in the black side
of the ledger, and at the same time, brought
a type program to Waynesville that is often
found in the larger cities.
The appearance of Rubinoff here is indic
ative of the growing appreciation of better
music in the community. And that in itself
is of noteworthy significance.
Our thanks go to the Kiwanis Club fgr set
ting such a high standard of entertainment
for a community that is fast growing to ap
preciate such things, ^'e trust this will be
onfy the first of many more to follow.
Unanimous Approval For Whiteway
We do not recall a project which has re
ceived such unanimous acclaim as the white
way for Main Street.
The town officials can well be proud, as
well as assured, that their decision to make
a whiteway on Main Street is meeting with
unanimous approval, and well it should.
The removal of all poles and wires on the
Main Street, and erection of modern steel
poles with brilliant lights will give the
town a new and enlarged appearance.
It is hard to even visualize the drastic
changes the whiteway will make in the ap
pearance of Main Street. The change will al
so give a "citified'' look, and we believe
make for a better shopping district.
We join in with all the others in express
ing jubilation over the action of the town
officials in setting out to get the whiteway
constructed at once. We feel it will be an in
vestment from which the town will realize
many dividends for a long, long time.
Weil-Founded Jubilation
Citizens in the lower end of the county are
rightfully elated over the construction of
the Betsy Gap road, and the approaching
letting of the contract for the Pigeon River
Road. ?
And well they might be elated over both
projects, because each road will mean a lot
to that end of our county, as well as the en
tire section.
Both projects have long been on the top
lists of needed improvements for a long time.
Ami now that work is actually started on
one, and the other nearing contract stage,
we can well share the elation of the folk in
Fines Creek and neighboring areas.

Coming Into Our Own
The 24th seems to be a date ror contracts
here in Haywood. On February 24th the Pi
geon River road is to be let under contract.
One month later, on March 24th, the new
Central Elementary school is to be let un
der contract. #
The school is part of the expansion pro
gram of the county, and the last of the three
major construction jobs included in the two
million dollar program. Two other projects
? Waynesville high, and Bethel elementary,
are already under contract.
The estimated price for the Central Ele
mentary will be about $260,000. And accord
ing to the plans of the architect, the build
ing ^s the most modern school building in
this end of the state. The new building will
surplant the present building, which was
erected in 1914, and has been termed a fire
hazard by more than one inspector.
It looks like we are gradually coming into
our own here in Haywood.
A Rich Recipe
The local recipes which we feature in this
newspaper every Monday are one of the
most widely read features of the paper.
Many women are pasteing the recipes in a
scrapbook and keeping them lor future use.
We know of a large number of women who
are trying every recipe as it comes out in
the paper.
And last week's recipe on chocolate fudge
set into motion a run on stores seeking
marshmallow creme. Stocks of the item have
been replenished, and more than one sweet
tooth was satisfied on Valentine's day by the
delicious candy.
And the candy made by the recipe is truly
delicious, because we sampled some made
by Mrs. Hugh Campbell, and beneve us, it
is the kind that makes you smack your lips
twice and then gaze at your waistline.
Upholding Dignity of The Office
Several newspapers in Alabama and New
Jersey have made a written rule that no
headline writer, or reporter can use the word
"Ike" in reference to President Eisenhower.
The editors of those newspapers feel that the
nickname belittles the dignity of the office
of President of the United States.
Our presidents have been subject to a cer
tain amount of ridicule by both cartoonists,
and headline writers. There was "Honest
Cal" for Coolidge; FDR for President Roose
velt, and HST was a common sight in head
lines during the Truman administration.
There is one thing certain, woe is the man
who tries to write Eisenhower and make it
fit a short headline.
Another N. C. Revaluation
Here in Haywood county, a revaluation
of property is underway by a team of three
men in each township. These men are famil
iar with the values of their own township,
and have been instructed to put it on the tax
books at 40 per cent of the present value.
A similar procedure is underway down in
Davidson county, except they have employ
ed a company which specializes in mapping,
and revaluating property. The taxpayers of
Davidson are paying $105,000 for their pro
gram, under a contract system. Every piece
will be mapped and plotted for the perman
ent records.
Another Good Point ?
The Chamber of Commerce can well make
much of the fact that there is a larger per
centage of people over 65 living in Hay
. wood than the state average. The point could
be stressed along the lines that this is a
good place to live, and a place that induces
longevity.

summary of previous
chapters
The early portion of the book
explained the causes of wars in
the past. These causes are misery
and want on the part of 95% of
the world's population. Commun
ism despite its rotten philosophy
is able to take advantage of this
misery. It is not difficult to de
termine the needs of the under
privileged people throughout the
vorld in order to raise their stand
ard of living to the level we have
achieved.
We have been shown an ex
ample of what can be done, and
how it should be done, in a typical
ly underdeveloped country, Indo
china.
It has been shown how we can
create small industries and a gen
eral atmosphere of freedom and
initiative in other parts of the
world.
The opening portion of Chapter
VIII explained why we cannot
combat Communism with propa
ganda alone. A recommendation
was made as to the type of pro
paganda that can be most clTective
behind "The Iron Curtain".

CHAPTER viii (Continued)
Some may ask: "Why all this
concern with the material aspect
of life. Isn't peace among men a
spiritual thing? Wouldn't an inten
sified spread of the Gospel of
Christ lead the world to peace?"
I put this question squarely up to
you the reader.
Can spreading the Gospel of
Christianity to all corners of the
globe eventually achieve the peace
we desire? Can the spread of any
single religion create a peaceful
world? *
Let us look at what history has
to say.
In primitive days, each little
group that had its own form of re
ligious worship (or superstition)
resorted to war, regardless of their
beliefs.
Two thousand years ago. Christ
preached the brotherhood of man.
love and peace. The nations that
eventually became "Christian" still
continued to slaughter each other
In fact, they even fought each oth
er over differences of interprets
ion over what Christ or His dis
?iples had said. Good. God-fearing
nen fought each other when the
irmadas of Spain and England
dashed. Many a cross was carried
nto battle in the Napoleonic wars.
During the last war there were
'haplains. of all faiths on both
;ides conducting services for the
nen who were about to go into
tattle. Men who would not think
>f littering their own churches with
is much as a scrao of paper drop
ted bombs on ctftirches in other
ands . . . churches erected to the
;ame God they themselves wor
shipped. Militarv expediency? Cer
ainl.v. But think about that for a
.vhile. When it comes to a choice
>f military expediency versus the
sanctity of human life and the
arecepts of peace, love and the
brotherhood of man. and the ad
monition against killing one's fel
low man. do nations that consider
themselves truly Christian refrain
from war?
There are many who believe that
no real peace can be achieved un
til the whole world recognized the
one true God and Savior. Granted
?hat such common recognition will
establish a firmer basis for world
oeace But how many more wars
would have to be fought to estab
lish the one universal religion?
Which Son of God shall be ac
cepted? Christ? There are 80 mil
lion Moslems who would rather die
than change their belief that Mo
hammed revealed the true word of
? he Almighty. There are several
million Buddhists who would be
ready to kill enyone who would at
tempt to deny their right to their
equally sincere belief that Buddha
was the Son of God. The same
holds true of the faithful follow
ers of other religionus. Actually

Christianity is accepted by only a

only 700 million are Christians.
Suppose all these other 1.6 bil

Christ. Which denomination of
Christianity should be adopted?
For after all. if we are to expect
them to forego their own different

Letters To Editor
THANKS FOR BUYING SEALS
Editor, The Mountaineer:?
The thanks of the Tuberculosis
Committee of Waynesville, Hazel
wood, and indeed of the entire>
community are due to all those
who so generously gave their sup
port to the fight against tubercu
losis by buying and using Christ
mas seals.
Proceeds from the Seal Sale
reached $1,114.59. These funds will
be used to support the committee's
work of TB prevention and control.
While the goal of $1,400 was not
reached, every purchase, large or
small, was an important element
in the campaign, bringing us to our
real goal?the ultimate defeat of,
tuberculosis. '
