A. fVtch, president of the North Carolina Highlanders, an organization created to , build and expand Western North Carolina tourist trade, a rather shameful i|nd some what discouraging picture can be painted from his figures. Only three counties which comprise the Highlanders can say that their monetary quotas have been met?Jackson County with a quota df $1500, Haywood $2500 and Gra ham $2500, and only one of theRe, Haywood, being directly in the path of the greater por tion of tourists visiting this section. We ih Jackson can feel proud of our rec ord. Not only have we given our support to the Highlanders this year, but we were the first to reach our quota several years ago when the Cherokee Historical Association asked for funds to stage the dranfa, "Unto These Hills." The tourist business in Sylva and Jack son County was dealt a severe blow when the Soco Gap Highway was completed. Tour ists, who at one time passed through Sylva and the^ieart of the county on their trips back and forth to the Smokies, now avert us by traveling the Socq Highway. We have suffered, but we haven't neglected our sup I>ort to organizations such as the Highland ers, which are devoting their time, money and energy to build Western North Carolina into a great tourist area. It must be discouraging to this group to see counties sue has Buncombe with a quota of $10,000 only collecting $2500, Cherokee $1000 collecting only $85, Henderson $2500 only $800 collected, not to mention the re maining six who have not met half of their respective quotas. We aren't trying to ridicule any particular group, but we do think an organization such as the Highlanders deserves your support. This organization has turned to the Chero kee Historical Association for help, which may after several seasons as the one they are experiencing this year, need help them selves. Mr. Fetch states that the Highlanders can complete their fiscal year with approximate ly $3000. Shall we help them or shall they die? Some Day, Maybe Another rural fire has hit Haywood. This time, the flames took the life of a 53-year-old man. Thus one more actual example of the need for a modern rural fire protection comes to our attention. The subject has been discussed long, and "All Roads Lead To ?" New# of the new appropriation by Con gress for further Blue Ridge Parkway pro jects is welcomed news in this area. It will mean the paving of the link from Wagon Road Gap to Beech Gap, apd because of the Federal program, the State Highway Com mission, in cooperation with the Forest Ser vice, plan two major projects of paving in that same area?from Elk Pasture Gap to Wagon Road Gap, the road commonly known to us as the Pisgah Motor Road, and also the beautiful drive through Sherwood Forest from Lake Logan to Beech Gap. These three prving projects will open up the Pisgah and Sherwood areas to more peo ple, and offer a greater variety of scenery than ever before in this area. The encouraging note of the whole thing is that it now appears that the projects will be completed by early next summer. WithHhese projects to the south, the Pi geon River Road being built to open up the link to the North; the new highway across Cowee to the west, and the four-lane high way from the Lake to Canton on the East is making us conscious of the fact that very soon "all roads will lead to this immediate area." Some of the projects have been rather slow in the making, but a general look at the over-all pattern is encouraging from every angle. What other community can point to such a constructive road building program? Good Example For School Authorities And Teachers It is almost unbelievable the amount of influence the Little League rules have had on the score of players this summer. Not only have the players caught the spirit, but also those who have been watching the games and keeping in close contact with the players, and that includes hundreds of other young boys. The boys have learned to respect author ity. They have learned the value of discipline. They are learning that the respect for au thority is good for them ,and for their game, as they feel a sense of security,. And we are among those who believe that the same idea can be carried into the school rooms. Too many of our school authorities and teachers tndag waat-4o.-pla*e-aii- the blame for failure to maintain proper discip line in the schools on the laclf of home train ing. We realize that the training at home is important, but where it is demanded, be it at home, school, or playground, there can be discipline. We wonder sometimes if some school au thorities and teachers are Sufficiently inter ested in their work to want to maintain proper discipline. The coaches and managers of the Little League are proving that point, and proving it satisfactorily, and to a degree tha^ school officials and teachers would do well to fol low the same pattern. often, but as yet, nothing but the talking has been done. In the past several months we can recall a number of serious, and damaging fires in the rural areas of Haywood, and many of them could have been kept to a minimum loss if adequate protection had been avail able. There is this much about such a program ?it will not be forthcoming until the people really want it, and demand it. Gardeners will soon discover that their eyes were bigger than their ! capacity for hoeing.?Laurel (Miss.)

I Views of Other Editors\ A NEW WAY TO HALT HIGHWAY SLAUGHTER There are two schools of thought in regferd to the proposal of Ed ward Scheldt, that citizens them selves should report cases of reck less driving and other traffic vio lations to his headquarters. One is that this would be a form of snooping. The other is that it is a way to arouse public opinion and activate it. There is a possible third view: that the proposal is worth a trial. Virtually everything else has been tried. Jf the proposed system led to prosecution on hidden or an onymous testimony or to subjection of citizens to public ridicule, there would be ground for suspicion or rejection, but Mr. Scheidt is not threatening the rights of citizens. He proposes merely a letter of warning to the car owner in ques tion, suggesting that he mend his ways and co-operate in observing the law. There can be no objection to a letter of this kind except pos sibly on the part of those persons who might regard themselves as unjustly accused and whq might re sent it." Even with those risks entailed, there ought to be a method of en listing the power of public opinion against traffic violations. So far that power has not been called on; ? ? ?? ? ? ? . :? enforcement of traffic laws have been left entirely to a limited band of officers, who at best cannot cov er a yhole state. Every day any citizen who uses the public roads witnesses traffic violations of the grossest sort. Reckless and dangerous driving, sometimes with even drunkenness mixed in, is altogether too com mon on our highways, and even our streets. The feeling that there is no present way to bring such offenders to Justice is frustrating. It is a recognized fact that no law or system can be enforced un less backed by public opinion. That is the ultimate power in any dem ocratic community. It is a power that can be used to halt North Carolina's mounting record of slaughter on the highways. If Mr. Scheidt's proposal will develop and use that power In a beneficial way, it should receive a fair trial. ?The Smlthfleld Herald.

IT'S AN IDEA, AT THAT A city court judge in a Western state has discovered a system which seems to be reducing minor traf fic violations to a considerable de gree. The clerk of court has check ed the records of violators who repeat after given the special treat ment, and they are found to be few and far between. The project has been in opera tion less than a year but it is ap parent that the experiment is al ready a success. The judge says the new approach makes a pro found psychological impression on traffic violators. What is this new aproach?
