It Comes Closer Than We Think
The Red Cross is making a concerted
campaign in Haywood to raise the local chap
ter quota of >6,000. The work, and impor
tance. of the Red Cross is well known. Very
often people are prone to look on the Red
Cross as an organization, paid for by the
other fellow, but ready to help anyone in
time of need.
The Red Cross has expanded its scope
of services, until today it is a vital cog to
servicemen and their families back home.
The organization is the one recognized group
which can lend a helping hand to servicemen
in time of emergency. Such was the case here
last year, when more than 900 families were
helped in this way.
Another feature of the Red Cross is the
operation of the Bloodmobile. There again is
a service which all of us have hopes of nev
er having to call upon, but it is a source of
relief to know that it is available when need
ed.
In another column on this page today is a
letter from Nathan Walker, of Clyde, now
visiting in Arkansas. He tells of being within
five miles of a tornado, and the havoc creat
ed by the storm. Needless to say, the Red
Cross was soon on the scene lending a help
ing hand to those who suddenly saw their
worldly possessions strewn over a wide area
by the force of the devastating winds. Such
is the program of the Red Cross.
A Tinge Of Sadness
The front page of the Monday issue of The
Mountaineer carried a story alaiut work to
start soon on the 1,000-foot tunnel on the
Pigeon River Voad.
Such news is of vital interest to us here
in Haywood, but at the same time, it carries
with it a bit of sadness, because when the
present 6-mile link is completed, as of right
now, no provision, or interest, has been
shown by Raleigh, to keep the work going
right on into the second link of that all-im
portant road.
^)ur present highway officials seem em
banrussed toj even mention the Pigeon River
Road, which has been often called the "Red
Headed Step Child" of all North Carolina
Road projects.
Spme day, there will come some official
who will take an interest, and "claim" the
Pigeon River Road, and see 'if completed.
Such a group will go down in history along
witH other famous North Carolinians who
had the wisdom to look ahead and inaugurate
projects which have helped make North
Carolina a great state.

Business Available For Those Who
Work Hardest To Get It
Brandon Hodges, former State Treasurer,
served members of the Rotary Club a big
dish of choice food for thought last Friday,
as he discussed the fuller development of
this area, from the standpoint of industry,
tourists and agriculture.
Mr. Hodges, while a state official, worked
untiringly at the task of interesting new in
dustries to North Carolina. Several of those
plants are now providing hundreds of jobs
in nearby neighboring counties.
The civic club members were told that the
region would have to be sold as a whole and
not just county by county ? because "coun
ty and political lines do not have a place in
such a program."
As Mr. Hodges began naming the differ
ent plants which have recently been erected
in the counties of this area, he named every
one but Haywood.
He made no mention of the fact that no
new plants had come here in recent years.
He merely cited the record.
The fact remains, that the citizens of this
area want new industries, want more recre
ation facilities to attract more tourists, and
also a better agriculture economy. Yet, when
the Chamber of Commerce tried to get a
true labor picture here, the response was
surprisingly low. Perhaps matiy people felt
the survey not essential because it did not
offer a definite job. Anyway, the promoters
who are seeking new industries here, are
going right ahead and will in time succeed.
Schools And Industry
So long as vocational training in the public
schools of North Carolina can be kept in the
right perspective in relation to the liberal
arts, stimulation of that type of training
properly should be encouraged in this State.
Hut school officials should be extremely
careful to halt even the suggestion that such
training should be tailored for the needs of
one industry or a group of industries.
Hen E. Douglas, director of the Depart
ment of Conservation and Development, said
his agency is pleased and encouraged that
more schools are linking vocational courses
with the needs of new industries which have
moved to the State. So far, the courses have
taken the form of supplements to regular [
curricula and this seerps klio pryper status
for such specialization.
It is significant, too, that Dr. Carey H.!
Bostian, chancellor of State College, said in
his inaugural address that liberal education
should not be swallowed up by technical edu
cation. Specialized, technical training, he
said, is not "the exclusive means" of produc
ing a "completely oriented student."
Certainly, students of both the high
school and college levels should be furnished
every opportunity to learn skilled trades.
Such tradesmen serve themselves and the
State as well as the new industry. It would
be most unfortunate, however, if the lure of
good, quirk jobs were allowed to divert stu
dents from the larger objectives of a more
complete education.
North Carolina needs new industry. It
needs vocational training, within and with
out the schools. Above all, it needs highly
educated sons and daughters who will be able
to function effectively outside the walls of
industry. The professions must be manned,
too, with vision as well as skill.

Not A Bed Of Roses
Did you know that at least four miles of
walking and 25 hours of time is spent each
year to make just one bed?
"It's true," says Mamie Whisnant, Ex
tension specialist in home management. "The
way many of us make beds ? the common
way?it takes that much time and walking."
Voice of the
People
Are you in favor of admitting
Hawaii and Alaska into the Union?
Miss Ruth Toffey? "Alaska and
Hawaii have things to give us and
we have things to give them. We'll
all profit if they are admitted into
! the Union."
?
Miss Helen Colfey ? "We need
: Alaska for defense."
Rev. J. H. Coleman ? "The an
swer is yes. I have been for this
a long time. I think this would
: strengthen our defense in the out
| lying possessions and. lest we for
get, we have just finished war in
, the Pacific where we were not pre
pared. Admitting Hawaii and Alas
ka would, in my opinion, help in
the fight against Communism."
Mrs. Rebrkah Murray?"I think
the two should be considered sep
arately. I think Hawaii is ready to
become a state, but I don't believe
Alaska is."
Mrs. Fannye Mae Martin?"Ad
I mitting Hawaii and Alaska would
I give us a much greater stronghold
I in the Pacific for defense, and
would lead to better relations with
the peoples in those territories."

Views of Other Editors
THE LIBERALLY-EDUCATED
MAN
The liberally-educated man Is
articulate, both in spegeh and writ
ing. He has a feel for^anguage. a
respect for clarity and directness
of expression and a knowledge of
some language other than his own.
He is at home in the world of quan
tity. number, and measurement.
He thinks rationally, logically, ob
jectively, and knows the differ-j
ence between fact and opinion.
When the occasion demands, how
ever. his thought Is imaginative and
creative rather than logical. He is |
perceptive, sensitive to form, and !
affected by beauty. His mind is
flexible and adaptable, curious, and
independent.
He knows a good deal about the
world of nature and the world of
man. about the culture of which
he is a part, but he is never mere
ly "Veil-informed". H<* can use |
what he knows, with judgment and
discrimination, lie thinks of his
business or profession, his family ,
life, an dhis avocations as parts of,
a larger whole, parts of a pur-1
pose which oe has made his own. i
Whether making a professional or
a personal decision, he acts with:
maturity, halanre, and perspective,
which come ultimately from his
knowledge of other persons, other
problems, other times and places,
lie has convictions, which are rea
soned, although he cannot always
prove them, lie is tolerant about
the beliefs of others because he j
respects sincerity and is not afraid
of ideas He has values, and he
ran communicate them to others
not only by word hut by example.
Ills personal standards are high:
nothing short of excellence will
satisfy him
Rut service to his society or to
his God. not personal satisfaction
alone, is the purpose of his excell

READ TIIF. FINE PRINT
From some headlines or neees
sarlly hrlef news "load*" or radio
bulletin"! it would have been easy
at one stage to get the impression
that Foreign Minister Molotov had
ottered Independence to Austria if
Soviet troops should be allowed to
remain there only another year
However. the proposal Mr.
Molotov really made at Berlin wm
that the Big Four powers should
leave oerupatlon troops In Austria
even after signing an independ
ence treaty but should promise to
reconsider "not later than 19S5"
the date for their withdrawal.
This, as Mr. Dulles at ' once
pointed out, would mean nothing
at all?except that Soviet forces
would pot. !>? withdrawn Xoa .an
other 18 monlTis. Thereafter the
debate would begin all over again
as to whether Austrian soil, then
nominally free, should be rid of
an uninvited soldiery: and the
Kremlin Muld again attach all the
unwarranted and impossible condi
tions to the move that it attached
earlier in the Berlin meeting.
In other words, Moscow in 1955
could again demand that the Eur
opean defense Community be
scrapped, that the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization be excluded
from Europe, and that the sinis
ter Soviet plan for unifying Ger
many be accepted. It could again
refuse ? indefinitely ? to take its
tanks away from the borders of
Vienna unless all those prices
were paid as ransom and Western
Europe were laid open to conquest.
That this is a true interpreta
tion of Mr. Molotov's "concesssion"
was nailed down in the closing ses
sion of the Berlin conference. Leo
pold Figl. Austrian Foreign Minis
ter. suggested an amendment to the
treaty setting June 30. 1955. as a
final date for withdrawal of occu
pation forces and declaring Aus
tria independent meanwhile. This
Mr. Molotov refused.
Thus in the Communist talk of
1955 all that was offered to the
Austrlans was another ride on the
same old merry-go-round, with the
same wheezy tune being played on
the mechanical organ.

St'RPRISE BI'T NO DECEPTION

this quotation! from a Talmadge
speech: ?
"I may surprise you: but I will
not deceive you."
Governor Talmadge was one of
the most controversial figures in
the latter day leadership of Geor
gia. He was bitterly hated by many1
of his fellow Gtettrgians; and ad
mired. trusted and followed by
thousands of others.
It is true Talmadge employed
some political tactics which were
condemned t>y. many of the best
people at *h& Statfc, but as a rule

did not resort to dPFCption to ob

SLIGHTLY WRONG
A young man was serving for the
first time as usher in a large and
fashionable church and his self
consciousness amounted to a bad
case of stage fright. As a result of
his nervousness some mistakes
were made.
A wealthy old lady marched
down the aisle unaccompanied, and
seated herself inadvertently one
