Some 36 motorists here in Haywood coun ty have learned in the last few days just how expensive and annoying speeding can be when apprehended by officers. The North Carolina Highway Patrol now have in use a simple looking little gadget which takes all element of chance out of tell ing just how fast a vehicle is traveling. The much publicized YVhammy. which utilized radar, throws a hand on a dail to the speed which a vehicle is moving, but the hand points to the maximum figure for a split sec ond. The new gadget keeps the hand point ing to the speed figure until manually releas ed by the operator. In fact, the small gadget can be brought into court showing the speed indicator. The law of North Carolina sets a maximum of 55 miles an hour on open road, with many congested areas limited to 35 miles an hour. 11 the safety exjK'rts did not feel that 55 was the maximum sjieed it was safe to Irive, they would step it up. Hut since they main tain 55 is the maximum, that remains the law, and violators will be brought to court to pay the consequences, which often means a little over $32 plus their time in court. The sj^ed watch is at work?better watch your speed, because it is often placed in the most unsusfiecting places. No More Free Hides The Chamber of-Commerce and the Hay wood Highlanders have taken a definite step forward in adopting a policy of recognizing only those with paid-up memberships in the respective organizations. In the years past, there has been some confusion at times among tourist operators, when they felt that being a member of one organiaz.tion entitled them to the services <>f the other. The two organizations are separ ate, have separate treasuries, and while they work closely together, their individual obli gations are not the responsibilities of the other. As the matter now stands, each organiza tion will serve, and serve efficiently those who have paid-up memberships. Without a paid-up membership, the organizations will not be obligated to render a service to the individual operator. .Moth, groups are going to work together in the promotion of the travel business in this area, and each is in a position to render continued service to the area as a whole. We feel it was a wise, and decided step forward when both organizations adopted th" rigid business-like service policy. It just means that those who have been riding free, are now going to have to walk or pay their 1 art of the stipulated fare.

Thursday Afternoon. February 18, 1951 Personal Editorial Comment By VV. Curtis Russ Almost every boy, at sometime during his youth, has been fascinated by the marvel of a train to the extent that his ambition was to be a railroad man. There are mighty few men today, but what Ret a rejuvinated thrill out of seeing trains glide down the track, or almost hu manly shift heavy cars about I ho railroad yard. Boys look on trains as a fascinating piece of mechanism, and never for once think of them in their im|>ortant role to our economic system and every day living. Neither do boys realize the dangers w'hich lurk around a train which is standing still in the station or on a sidetrack. Trains are made for men to handle ? men with many years of experience, and other people, except when a passenger, should keep a good distance away. The success of Ben Franklin flying a kite and discovering electricity is a fascinating story, and has been an important contribu tion to the scientific world. Since Ben's famous kite flying episode, electricity has been harnessed, and is now an important part of our daily lives. And right at this time of year, when a lad's interest centers around flying his kite higher than his playmate, it is a good time for parents to remind their children of the dangers of sending up kites near electric wires. Every season a number of children lose their lives while flying kites too near electric wires. Flying a kite is innocent fun, if done a way from all possible sources of danger. Ben Franklin took a chance, but there is no use for our youngsters to follow suit, because the engineering world has a full knowledge of electricity, even to the point of warning us that it is dangerous to fly kites near the en ergized lines. Dr. John C. Rich There could hardly be a more fascinating and enlightening story in all the history of this mountain region than an intimate ac count of the life of one of its old-fashioned country doctors. No better subject for just such a story could be found than Dr. John C. Rich whose services to the Candler communi ty covered more^han four decades. This grand physician of the "old school" was a native of Maggie in Haywood County. He was educated in the public schools of that county, at Peabody College and was graduat ed w;th honors at the University of Tennes see School of Medicine. After practicing at Dell wood in Haywood County for three years he moved to Candler in Buncombe County where he served with distinction for the rest of ,his active life. In the early years of his practice Dr. Rich covered his territory of some 100 square miles by horse and buggy and when he could not reach his patients by that means he rode horseback. In those days his fees often were paid in meats, vegetables or other farm com modities. But h's medical fees, of whatever variety, were always secondary with this country "Doc." His job was to deliver medi cal service when and where needed und >r anv and all circumstances. That included the delivery of about .1,000 babies. Although he was never "off duty" he found time to take active and leading parts in all manner of civic and community affairs He loved people and the inevitable conse quence of that was that people loved and trusted him to a wonderful degre?. The wonderful story of this typical coun try doctor probably will never be reduced te book form. Hut the many thousands of peo pie who knew and loved Dr. Rich wouldn't need such a book anyhow. His story is writ ten on their hearts and they will never for et him.?Asheville Times. | fhcyll Do It Every lime By Jimmy Hatlo | - i I ? i I Tt "TWIff? !

I hope this will do some thing to prevent price increase through soeculation. PLEDGE TO THE FLAG For some time now a number o ; senators have felt that the pledgi if allegiance to the flag should bi amended to insert the words "un der God" in that pledge. Senato Ferguson last week introduced ; hill which would accomplish this If nassed. it would make the pledgi read as .follows: "I pledge allegi ance to the flag of the Unitei States of America and to the Re public for which it stands, one na ? ion indivisible, under God, witl liberty and justice for all."
