Neither did we realize that it cost $72 per mile to paint the solid yellow line beside the white center line. Regardless of the expense, the center lines in t$le highways are worth their cost on fog gy nights, when the lines are the only things visible to the harassed motorist. Time For Extreme Caution At* Halloween rolls around, many people get the mistaken idea that the occasion auto matically grants them a special privilege to destroy public and private property. Last year some who had this mistaken idea built fires on school grounds, and one marksman tried his ability in shooting out window panes in a school. Such dangerous practices are what officers will be on the lookout for this Saturday evening. No one begrudges celebrants having a good time, but when they over-step the bounds and substitute dangerous practices for a good time, then the law enforcement officers will take a firm hand. Girl Scouts The fund appeal of the Girl Scouts of Hay wood is one to which we can all respond witl* full confidence that our contributions will be used in one of the most worthwhile and valuable programs available to girls. The pood will and public confidence which the Girl Scout organization envoys both here in Haywood and in communities across the nation is not just a happy accident. It re sults from a well-develoned and creatively presented program which fill basic needs of our young people?the need to express growing personalities through working and plavine together: the need to make decisions that involve them and to abide by the con seopences; the need to broaden their out look through learning more about their own community and the world they live in.

PROM A Sound And Practical Decision Few groups have shown as much en thusiasm and energy over a project as have the promoters of the Waynesville Horse Show. The group received but little encourage ment when they first mentioned staging a horse show last August. Before long their enthusiasmi spread, and others caught the spirit, and when the show was over, the unanimous acclaim was that it was the best event of its kind ever staged in the area, and the people were clamoring for another show in the summer of 1954. The show last August seemed to instill in the promoters even more enthusiasm, and they started out to work on the 1954 show. Their growing list of commitments of high ranking show horses already assures the venture next summer as being much larger and finer than their first show. Tentative plans were to have the horse show ring moved and built on a larger scale' on the 20-acre tract recently acquired by the county for the Home Arts and Livestock buildings and show grounds. After first one thing then another, the horse show sponsors decided that it wpuld be best to have their own property, and be independent of outside regulations. They felt that the show was off to such a good start that they could not afford to jeopardize its future success by being bound to regulations and stipulations over which they had no con trol. With that idea in mind, the group have purchased a 20-acre tract in town, and plan to develop about 5 acres, and deed the other 15 acfes( free of charges and obligations, to the Town of Waynesville for recreational purposes. * The proposition appea,rs practical, and sound. It has the ear marks that will assure this comfmunity of one of the biggest and best horse shows in the state. The Menace Of Rabies Haywood seems to have had more than her share of rabies this year, with four ani mals dying from the dreaded disease since September first. Four people were bitten by one rabid dog, and these together with six others, had to take shots as a precaution against taking the fatal disease. The health officers, together .with law enforcement officers, have worked faithful ly in trying to curb the spread of the di sease, to the poittt of demanding vaccina tions. and keening animals up- during the quarantine period. Rabies is among those diseases which medical science has not been able to fully eonnuer after a person has once contracted the disease. Up to now. medical science has been able to provide an effective vaccine that prevents the disease in animals as well as in humans. Fifteen years ago this fall, another rabies epidemic hit Haywood. This is a matter of life and death, and should be treated accordingly. In Kansas City, a woman's habit of carry in?r a knife in her handbacr saved the life of a bov who slipned while plavintr with a rone knotted around his neck. As he damrled from a tree, the lady passer-by produced the knife, and a rescuer cut the rope. The marvel is. not that she had a knife in her handbag, but that she was able to find it in timV>. ?Montgomery Advertiser.

Views of Other Editors INDUSTRYW1SE, A LEAD TO MAINTAIN It is welcome news, of course, that industrial investors spent more money on rfrw plants and equipment in North Carolina last year than they did in any of the 11 other Southern and South At lantic states. The $141 million in expansion during a single year re flects the still impressive tempo of industrial progress in Tarheelia. On the othen hand, the figures offer no basis for unrestrained re loicing or prideful corpplacencv. Tliev reflect, in fact, a levellng-off trend that could be damaging to the Tar Heel economy unless it is recognized end stens taken to re store the former vigor of our in dustrial advance.' North Carolina's pre-eminent po sition in the new industry totals is not a newlv-come honor. The state has ranked first among its Southern neighbors in that re spect for a number of -years. Dur ing recent years, however, other states in Dixie have been develop ing more ranidlv than our own. and narrowing the margin of our lead ership In 1947. the last year for which complete census .renorts on manu facturing are available the Indus ? niol inuocimonl in XT e ???

Admittedly, the current statistics are not a totally Reliable index of Industrial progress, or of its rel ative pace. And actual dollars in vested don't tell the whole story. But in their gratlAcation over North Carolina's continued indus trial leadership. North Carolinians should not lose sight of the fact that the race is still unresolved. I ?< ? ? ? ? ?
