Ilappy Birthday To The Enterprise
Ourvfriend and neighbor, The Canton En
terprise, this past week, modestly observed
.their 50th anniversary.
S4 They called the occasion to the attention
of their readers with a front page story, and
? In a conservative editorial, reviewed brief
ly the*fiO-year period of the newspaper. The
present owner has been at the helm for
thirty years, which makes the occasion even
more significant, in that three-fifths of the
time The Enterprise has been published,
3farley E. Wright has been publisher.
* Years prior to becoming publisher, while
?till in graded school, Mr. Wright helped
fcot out the 200 copies of the paper, then
Jailed the Vindicator.
T The Enterprise, under his guidance, and
Jlith the assistance of his associates, espec
ially his sister. Miss Laura Wright, editor,
jnay w?ll be proud of the newspaper.
Tt has been our happy privilege to work
with the publishers of The Enterprise since
doming to The Mountaineer 22 years ago.
We look forward to many, many more years
of the same pleasant cooperation, and wish
for them, everything well, as they start on
ward towards the Diamond Jubilee of the
newspaper in 1978.

Judge Sharn A Canable Jurist
Our observations of Judge Susie Sharp
...and her work on the bench during the past
??week, makes us realize more than ever that
she is one of North Carolina's most capable
? Superior Court judges.
Resides being capable in her capacity as
a judge, she is efficient in the operation of
her court. She does not tolerate the waste
. -of time, but that does not mean that she
[ rushes'unduly in the execution of the work
' of the court. When it comes to passing judg
; ment, she is slow, deliberate and thorough.
I Her manner of explaining in detail the
terms of the sentences to the defendants, in
?layman's language, is just another one of her
. many characteristics of showing her keen
understanding of people.
Judge Sharp realizes that she is dealing
with people that often need a helping hand,
and while she does not let sentiment play any
A -
part in her court, ape looks on the humane
angle%f ffie^caseTcolming before Ter.
Judge Sharp will long be remembered
here in Haywood, and as she goes about her
work?throughout the^atate, she might well

Weatherby Deserved
The Recognition
The presentation of a Ford to Coach C
E. Weatherby at the football game Thurs
day, was^i fitting climax to his work as a
coach, and leader of young people here ir
this community for the past 25 years.
Of course he realizes, as does everyone
'else, that the gift was in appreciation of his
work, and in no ways even a part of an ef
fort of trying to pay him for his good work
here.
The presentation of the gift was not for
victories on the football field, but for 'vic
tories in leading and directing the hundreds
of young people who have come under his
guidance, in attaining higher goals in life.
He will also be happy to know that this
proposal to give him a car did not crop up
at the last minute. It actually began about
commencement tim/e last June, and with the
token of appreciation goes the warmest best
wishes from this community.
Experience Now Sneaking
An experiment is being tried out in Lum
berton which will be watched with interest
over the state.
Those charged with traffic violations, for
the first time, are being sent to a special
safety school conducted by officers. There
the offenders are schooled in the folly of
breaking laws which are designed to protect
those who use the highways.
And right along this line, a 16-year-old
boy in Knoxville, came forth this week with
the story of how foolish it was for teen-agers
to take a chance while driving. You see, this
young man is now crippled for life as a result
of an accident, in which he was th# driver,
and the same accident cost two, women their
lives. Now the young man is urging all
young drivers as well as older ones, to drive
with care and caution. He knows whereof he
speaks.
A Close Tie Between
Recreation and Industry
Our interest in industry and recreation
here makes the editorial which recently ap
peared in The Durham'Herald of much con
cern to this community. The editorial was
as follows:
?. There is more to the business of attracting
new industry to a community than the avail
ability of plant sites, of Taw materials, of
sufficient labor and the other basic needs
of industry. There are other factors also im
portant. '?
Roy L. McMillan, chairman of the North
Carolina Recreation Commission, discussed
one of them in Durham last week during the
Commission's meeting.
Mr. McMillan contends that the availabil
ity of good recreational facilities can be a
crucial factor in an industry's decision to lo
cate in a given commmunity.
Such was the case, he says, with DuPont's
decision to build a multi-million-dollar plant
in Kinston. 1
"There is a close tie between recreation
and industry." Mr. McMillan said, and rec
reationaal opportunities in Kinston were the
deciding factor in DuPont's decision.
"An increase in recreational facilities for
the state would be a great aid in bringing ad>
ditional industry to the state. Industry wants
not just employes but happv employes."
Certainly the comfort and the well-being
of its employes is a major concern of intelli
gent industry. Such facilities as schools, rec- j
reational opportunities, churches, and other j
facilities that help make a community a
pleasant place in which to live are important
to industry. Those communities who have
made rapid progress in industrial expansion
have not forgotten this.
Voice of the
People
l Would you be disappointed If
you didn't receive a corsage for a
college prom? ?
Joan Ratcliffe, senior, Western
Carolina College?"No, I wouldn't!
There are only about two so-ealled
flower dances a year at our school,
and flowers aren't ^expected the
rest of the time. Mdst of ray even
ing dresses do not require flow
ers; in fact, I make it a point to
buy them that way. I think most
girls feel the way I do about it.
Flowers do shftw a boy's thought
fulness but they aren't necessary
for a good time."
Geraldine Keenum, freshman,.
University of North Carolina ?
"Generally yes, but it depends on
whether the boy you're going with
can afford it. It's up to the person
whether you enjoy yourself. I can
have just as good a time not wear
inng a flower as wearing one."
f .
Julia Ann Stovall, freshman, Sul
lins College?"It depends on the
type of dance and whether it's the
custom of the school to give flow
ers. I guess I would be disappoint
ed if it were the custom, but even
then it would depend on the boy's
financial condition."
Bette Hannah, senior, Converse
College?"No indeed. I don't be
lieve in them. I think they are a
waste of money and detract from
a good-looking dress. The flowers
are always squashed before the
evening is half over and would
have looked much better in a vase
All that messy ribbon makes you
look like you're going to a funeral,

Views of Other Editors
SOUTH S NEW PHASE
Vermont Royster. brilliant senior
associate editor of the Wall Street
Journal. Pulitzer prize winner and
Tar Heel, told the South something
it needed to hear when he said,
at the Asheville meeting of the
Southern Association of State
Planning and Development, that
the South is entering a second and
more difficult phase of its pro
gram for industrial expansion.
The South, he said, has been
benefiting by "the trek of the big
national industries . . . primarily
j caused by the lure of a good sup
oly of skilled labor at lower wages.
But this lure is self-liquidating.
The new plants will have less sur
plus labor for late comers and this
will tend to make Southern wages
rise. Something new will be need
I ed."
He foresaw continued Southern
i industrial growtl^ and set out a
i urogram for it which comprised
I four points: (1) More research for
fuller use of natural resources: (2)
a better transportation and dis
tribution system: (3) encourage
ment of local capital and invest
ment markets: and (41 "an educa
tional effort to develop more man
agerial ability."
While we agree with Mr. Rovs
ter that fhe more the South be
comes industrialized, the less sur
plus labor there will be. the high
er wages will rise and the less in
ducement there will be for a manu
facturer to move Sduth for cheap
er labor, there are other factors to
be considered. Southern labor is
notable for its steadiness and effi
cienrv. its "on-the-job record", tts
productive ounlitles are good and
of course ft is becoming more and
more skilled. Cheapness mav not
longer be the primary considera
tion. ,
Also it looks as if the South will
have a big surplus of labor for
some time to come, not in all places
but in plenty of them. This surplus
win come parny irorn rne South's
high birth rate and partly from in
creased mechanization on the farm.
In two or three years, it is estim
ated, the shift from mules to ma
chines on Southern farms will
displace' 2.000,000 farm workers
but those who remain will produce
more than double what the South
produced on its farms in 1943. And
the South has a vast untapped
source of industrial labor?the Ne
gro.
Mr. Royster hit the nail on the
bead in his program for Southern
industrial growth. We need more
research desperately; it pays good
dividends. The researches of Dr.
Charles H. Herty and Dr. Oeorge
W. Carver, for example, have put
billions Into the South'* pockets.
But the research field is almost un
touched, certainly not plowed, In
t
the South.
We need better transportation
and distribution to handle the tre
mendous newt Southern production.
We need more local capital for
local business ventures. Now that
we have the capital, the sensible
thing ip to use it in the South and
rake in the profits instead of ex
porting them.
Clearly we need more manager
ial ability to direct the growing
industry and commerce of the
South. And this need is increasing
by geometrical, rather than arith
metical. progression. The South's
new phase is running into the
/'housekeeping services" of indus
trialization, as Prof. B. U. Hatch
ford of Duke Universtiy points out
?"the foundries, the industrial
architects, the accounting firms,
the specialized financial and legal
services, the plants to use by
products. the plants to make and
service machinery and equipment,
the advertising and marketing
agencies, and a host of others."
The South has ^een outgaining
the rest of the nation, economical
ly. It bids fair to continue to do
do so. But there are plenty of*dif
ficulties and challenges ahead.
