TODAY'S RIBLK VRRSF ^ TODAYS <H'OT Editorial Page of The Mountaineer ' " . . i ??. \ ' 'V * ________ Haywood Dairying Haywood county ha* more than just pass ing interest in the observance of Dairy Month Long a#o, this county learned the impor tance of dairying as an economic factor, as ' well as an essentia! food in our daily diets. Right flow, Haywood is receiving about $600,000 a year?$50,000 per month?from the sale of milk. This does not include the value of the milk consumed on the farms. The cash income from milk is ail impor tant item, as it spreads much farther than the 72 grade A dairies where the milk is produced. There are about 2,600 cows in the herds on these 72 dairy farms, and that means feed bills, tax assessments, and all the other things that go in the operation of a dairy. Haywood dairymen have been among those in the state that have kept abreast of the times, and modern methods of production. Their modernism is reflected in the general economics of the county, and we feel that this has been an important angle towards the increased use of dairy products here. Needle^ to say, Haywood is interested in dairying from every angle, and as June is the month set aside to recognize the value of dairy products, we are confident that no place in the state will do more on this pro gram for 12 months out of the year than will this county. $10 And Court Costs Those motorists who felt the heavy hand of the law on their shoulders for following a fire truck, will think twice before going in hot pursuit after the truck again. Officers have warned that such a practice is a Violation of the law, but for some rea son or other, many motorists did not take the warning seriously. Those 150 who paid a $10 fineyttnd court costs, will perhaps re member the incident for some time to come. The firemen do not care for the general public watching them fight a fire. Neither do the police. The danger arises in blocking a street such as was ^he case the other night. The narrow road loading to the fire was entirely blocked by double parkers, and if someone had been injuredTVt the fire, it would have been im possible to get an ambulance to the scene. Then again, in some sections, the firemen have to call the town hall for the water tank tcfbe sent ouMo the fire for additional water. Had this been the case the other night, the water wagon would have found a solid block of cars between them and the fire. The ordinance was passed for the safety of the |>eople, and the protection of proper ty. And any ordinance designed on those principles is of necessity a good law. We trust that the public now realizes that the ordinance means just what it says, and that there will he no more offenders. THE MOUNTAINEER Waynesville.

Carolina Press Association will be guests in our community, at Lake Junaluska. The group of publishers and editors will be here for three days. Part of their time will be devoted to a discussion of publishing problems of today. The remainder of the time they will be shown the beauties of the area, and the warm hospitality for which this section is so well known. ? On the program are some men whose * names and works are familiar across the na tion.. * * The publishers last came here in 1937 for their summer convention. Since that time they stopped here on three other occasions for a m/eal. Everytime they have been here, they have seemed to enjoy their visit, be cause they write editorials saying as much. We are always happy to have them, and feel that they will be inspired by the pro gram arranged for them at the Lake, relax ed by the invigorating atmosphere, and "re sold" on the beauties of Western North Carolina. Justified Optimism Optimism seems to be the keynote in the tourist field today. With May business far ahead of 1953, and June starting out very good, gives every indication that the tourist business this year is destined to perhaps set new high records. We know for a fact that there has been more spring promoting of this area than at any time in the past 20 years. More literature about the area has gone I a out, and consequently, njore inquiries havo LV come in, and More people have come to see for themselves. EU1 We have felt some of the trend right here prize in our own office, because the booklets for sPon# the Haywood Highlanders were printed in the plant, and have been shipped direct from Mr our mailing department. We know the in- Jamc terest in the booklets, and the repeat orders clron which those in charge have had to make in ^ii order to satisfy travel bureaus and others chap over a wide area. Pubii This looks like the season for tourists, and Thi for those who cater to them.
