' ? ? ? - The Wrong Conception of Fun It is extremely unfortunate that some Hal loween pranksters had to use strong caustic compounds to toss about as a means of hav ing-what they thought was a good time. Tfieir thoughtlessness brought agony, and anxiety to a young woman who recently mov ed into this community. The police also had their hands full on Saturday night, as other celebrants, just as thoughtless, removed manhole covers from about town, leaving dangerous holes in the "streets for pedestrians as well as motor traf fic.. ' This newspaper believes there is a time for fun, and believes that children should have fun, but never at the expense of harm ing, of jeopardizing the welfare and safety of others. It now seems that drastic steps will be necessary to curb next year's observ ance of Halloween in order to prevent a re currence of the unfortunate incidents which took place over the weekend here. Thq police did a good job by staying right behind the Halloweeners Saturday night, protecting the public as much.-as possible, and running down clues that fnally resulted in solving several mysteries connected with the devastating evening. Those who cannot distinguish the differ ence between innocent fun and creating a publkrnuisance, should feel the heavy hand of the law. Last Planning Stage For Schools i)i The last of Haywood's county-wide school expansion programs are in the last stages and on the drawing boards. Pretty soon, the blueprints will be in the hands of the state committee in Raleigh, and once their OK is affixed on the plans, the local groups will -be ready to call for bids, and work started. There are now four major projects under construction ? Waynesville High, Central Elementary, Clyde gym, and Bethel element ary. At least five others have been finished, and one other smaller project under con struction. The Canton project of a new junior high is ready for the bidding stage. And thus the spending of the special two million for the expansion of the school plahts in Haywood nears the contract-letting stage. ? ?MEB Mkl# Mte-H Why Advertise?

Thursday Afternoon, November 5, 1953 Time To Seek Other Conventions Waynesvill-'s traditions of pleasing out-of town visitors was upheld in fine style here weekend before la^t when the "Mountain eer" chapter of the National Secretaries As sociation played host to the first state con vention of North Carolina chapters. Although the Mountaineer chapter has only 14 members, Waynesville's young wo men exhibited a spirit of "Something worth doing is worth doing well." Many delegates called the convention the most enjoyable meeting they had ever at tended. The beauty of the mountains in the fall, the excellent food and accommodations at the Country Club Inn, warm hospitality, and a well-planned program all combined to give the visitors a very favorable impression of Waynesville in particular and Western Caro lina in general (Most of the delegates were from Central Carolina and were especially impressed by this area's towering peaks.) Letters have been pouring in since the con vention, praising the Waynesville secretar ies for their excellent work in planning the event. Typical sentiments are: Rosa Miller of Hickory, newly elected state president?"It was as grand a meet ing as I have ever attended and I can't think of a thing that was left undone. You certain ly have a wide-awake chapter." Kitty Nowell of Charlotte, retiring state secretary?"Your meeting was just perfect. You did not overlook a single thing." Inez Greeson, formerly of Greensboro, re tiring state president?"Nothing was lack ing?the genuine hospitality displayed by you and your chapter members was a beauti ful thing, and the local townsmen who as sisted you really gave their best in making us all feel at home. As far as I am concern ed, it was the greatest meeting our state will ever hope to have." Lib Vanhoy of Greensboro?"We enjoyed ourselves so very much ... it just couldn't have been any better." Lois Mullen of Durham?"All of you girls went all out to make the meeting a success in every way, and I don't know what more one could ask for: beautiful weather, won derful hpspitality, and food enough to satis fy the hungriest mountain appetite! It was >ne of the.^est meetings I hpve.evtr attend ed : thanks to all you Waynesville girt." Margaret Hall of Hickory?"The Waynes ville gals really came into their own this past weekend. Truly, I enjoyed this meet ing and learned more about our beloved NSA than any I have ever attended. Perfestior was what it was, and it certainly reflects the originality, ingenuity, and interest or the part of all your members." Waynesville's geographic location in Nort) Carolina is not a handicap to efforts to at tract state conventions here. So it would b< a fine thing if other civic organization; could follow the lead of the Secretaries ant invite their members in other towns to holt r a state convention here. j ing. 1 " 'Your gum is known all over the world, J he said.

But citizens of this State can e thankful, now that the arena as been built and dedicated, that here is no such controversy over whether it is an architectural mas prpiece of monstrosity.

EDIBLE WILD PLANTS A few day? ago I found a book in edible wild plants. It contains i description of more than 100 vild plants, of which the berries, he pods, the leaves or the fresh hoots can be eaten. The fruit of the Passion Flower, >r as many people call it, the 'May-Pop," is delicious as a flav iring for sherbet or for making elly. The young shoots of the Brack ?n. or as many of us call it, the 'Common Fern," are said, to be ?specially good in the spring Just is they are unfolding.

Let's lift our heart and do our part To make each day a happy one. Wishes are the clothesline on which we hang our dreams. Anger is a tattle-tale and a scandalmonger. It lets out se that have been carefully and painstakingly hidden for years. It poses facts that have been sugar coated so long that their su uncovering sickens the victim as well as the person who hurls t Little intimate secrets are boldly tossed out to a gaping public i anger goes down deep to drag out any implement that will rut i est.'Anger is human, we have to acknowledge that: but anger is a when^aroused, a violent beast that will tear apart friendships, sep Families and rend to shreds confidence and faith, -The-tragic part is that anger can be confined but, unfortuw is allowed the run of the house and freedom to do its deadly When anger strikes, ittls like a swift cut of a razor-sharp saber leaves a 6car that is never entirely effaced. A friend is one on whose door you never have to knock twi i from them and also cook and eat them like asparagus. The lettuce saxifrage, or as we call it, "Mountain Lettuce," is us ed for salads all through our moun tains. It grows on tlie borders of streams and in damp places. The leaves can also be stewed with a fat back and make a delicious dish. The items above are Just a sam ple Of the edible wild plants which grow in Our mountains.
