' These Foggy Mornings Motorists who drive to work in the early mornings. again complaining about care less drivers during fogs. One motorist pointed lout to us that too many drivers failed to realize the importance of being seen as well as being able to see. If memory serves us right, it wa" just a bout this time last year that similar pro tests wer raised, especially bu those who had to drive between here and Canton. Driving in a fog is dangerous, regardless of how a motorist might feel. He must also "realize that our present highways are nfit one-way streets, and that traffic flows both ways. So drive at a speed that you can safely see, and be sure your lights are on bright enough to be seen. A little added precaution now might save weeks of suffering, and many dollars of needless expenses later. Good Place To Live?A Long Time It seems that the Chamber of Commerce might well use to an advantage, the fact that there seems to be an increasing number of people in Haywood at or nearing the one ceijtury mark in birthdays. Recently we featured an article about a resident 103 years old; on Monday featured a native farmer who is 96, and have another article in the making about still another resi dent, in good health, already past 96. This seems to be a good place to live, and a place to live a good long time. Color Plentiful Those who failed to enjoy the colorful foliajfi? this fall can blame no one but them selves, because the color has been plentiful all around us. A careful check of the several typical points, such as Newfound Gap, Wagon Road Gap, and others, revealed that everyone of them had beauty in abundance, but none surpassed the trees right here in this com munity for sheer individual beauty. ? And once again, the maples in and around Gyeen Hill cemetery just tried Jo out-do their colorful records of the past. "? ? ? Most motorists hate traffic lights. But we noticed how lost the average driver was during the brief time workmen had the light at the corner of Main and Church down for repairs. Traffic lights are not a necessary evil?they are essential to the regulation of today's traffic. Pigeon River Road Vital Link In Governor's Industrial Program When Governor Umstead announced an al location of throe-quarters of a million for the viaduct in Canton, it could hardly be said that his actions came as a surprise. Several months ago, Commissioner Harry E. Buchanan, while holding a oounty-wide conference here,* made the statement that he considered the traffic bottleneck in Can ton as Haywood's number one highway need. From that time, it was apparent that the Canton project would be looked upon with favor by the administration when it came time to allocate the surplus highway fund._ This is the first of such funds which Gover nor Umstead has had for special highway projects. Just how long it will take for the highway fund to again have a surplus is a mere mat ter of speculation. Some Raleigh observers predict early next spring, others do not share such an optimistic hope. Regardless of whfcn the next allocation of the surplus comes, we trust the administra tion will not overlook the importance of set ting up sufficient funds for another link in the Pigeon River Road. The $irst six-mile link will be completed by early spring, and will afford a means of getting machinery and workmen to the sec ond link. It is just a matter of money to get the second link under contract. The Mountaineers believes that Governor Umstead will readily see the importance of the Pigeon River road to his recently in augurated industrial expansion program in the state. The fact remains, that the lack of adequate highways from this section of the state to the midwest is one of the great est obstacles which Western North Caro lina must overcome in inducing new indus tries to come here. ^ - "? i - 1 t governor umsieaa nas a sounu ana prac tical program for bringing new industries to the state, and we feel he will agree that the construction of the Pigeon River road is an important factor for the success of that pro gram in Western North Carolina. Only three days ago, a new industry an nounced its interest in locating at Newport, the Tennessee terminal of the Pigeon River Road. The plant would employ 3,500 people. This is a sizeable plant, and the on? item of taxes to the state and county on such an in dustry, would prove a good investment on funds necessary for the completion of the Pigeon River Road. The new plant,'just a bout an hour away over the Pigeon River route, is now about three hours distance. We just hope that the present administra tion does not forget that the Pigeon River Road was promised, and included in the state master plan in the 1920 highway pro gram. And the people of Haywood county, and all neighboring counties, shall continuV. to remind governor after governor of this fact until the highway is completed, and serving all Western North Carolina. Former Governor Cherry saw the need, and appropriated $450,000 for the project. Former Governor Scott saw the need of the Toad, and appropriated $1,500,000 to the con struction fund. It is these two allocations that are building the present, and first 6 mile link. We trust the present administration keeps all this in mind, together with the 33-year old promise of the State of North Carolina. !? gThe Progressive Farmer is finding that for some of their best colored covers, they ?an get them right here in Haywood ? typical farm pictures that show good farm practices. The current issue has such a picture. 2 . THE MOUNTAINEER WajntsvilW, North Carolina Main Street Dial GL 6-5301 The County Seat of Jlaywood County Published By THE ytAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER, Inc. W.

Views of Other Editors Voice of the People 'RIGHTS' FOR MEN Husbands of officeholding wives are henceforth to be accorded equal rank with their wives at all sbcjal functions, declares an an nouncement from Washington. "As the wife of an official as sumes her husband's rank at all times, the husband of a woman of ficial should receive the same hon or," states the 1954 edition of "The Social Life of Washington". This decision, reports the Associated Press, has been backed up by the State Department's section on of ficial protocol. Thus is solved the heretofore un solved and domestically delicate problem of what happens to a hus band?who may be a big shot in his own right?when his wife is offi cially named a Cabinet member or a diplomat. It has, of course, been generous ly assumed by most tactful hus bands that the terms "woman" and "diplomat" are more or less syn onymous anyway, and that a wo man's appointment to important office is merely public acknowl edgment of a fact long privately conceded. But it is unlikely that any man or woman would be com Dletely happy to have husbands banished to a back seat when their wives take a spotlight which his tory hag traditionally reserved for men. While this new precedent-setting decision points up the importance of husbands, its significance goes even further?for does it not por tend that the woman diplomat. Cabinet member, and executive are definitely here to stay, to take a constantly greater part in coping with world problems which have challenged male statesmen through the centuries? ?The Christian Science Monitor. THE BOND VOTE We cannot believe that three fourths of the electorate of North Carolina are indifferent to the needs of the school children and the mentally ill of North Carolina. This would seem to be indicated, however, from the returns from the election Saturday which show ed that for every voter who went to the pplla. out of the more than -1/700.00 eligible voters In the state, three stayed at home. From the overwhelming vote in ftvor ottftV<rdl4K>4% 4#vch td one for the school bonds and aiout eight to one for the bonds for'the \ mental institutions, there is no doubt about the way the people who did vote felt about the propo sitions. We believe that this vote was a true cross section of North Caro lina sentiment and that regardless of the size of the vote, the verdict would have been the same. We prefer to believe that the great body of those who did not vote simply acquiesced in what they felt would be a foregone con clusion. If there had been any or ganized opposition to the bonds, if there had been any stumping against them, there would have been standing lines of citizens at the polling places. Surely, however, this is a dan gerous chanee to take. Sometimes a citizenry which is not alert will wake up to find that its neglect has cost It dearly. The privilege of voting is one that has been bought dearly. Tt should never be taken lightly even in cases where the voters think there is no danger of their pur poses-being defeated. We are proud of the percentage majority given these school and mental hospital bonds. We are a little ashamed of the indifference which accompanied their approval. ?Charlotte News.

The most easily cotrolled piece of machinery is the mind, it is allowed to run wild at times. Nature has a command of coloring that no art i- t can ever fully duplicate. She shades a green tree into a deep red and d so gradually that it is impossible to detect where the chan? gins. She groups half a dozen golden yellow trees together thn denly plants a vivid evergreen and a scarlet one to break the moj of color. And for added variation, she streams a brilliant sh setting sun across the whole panoramic canvas. Deep down i ravines, she sends waterfalls splashing their spray to form ? of prismatic jewels in the air; and the velvet silence is torn int. pieces by the rushing streams on their way to no one know; i One returns from a view of this magnificent art show with i ing of infinitesimal smallness and ignorance of comb itin? roll they will show up to the best advantage. They also come had a feeling of reverence and gratitude that they are allowed present at this magnificent display of Nature's handiwork.
