Canton's Library A Major Asset
The citizens of Canton have every right
.to be Justly proud of the new and modern
Library. It would, be a distinct credit to a
town man^tiroes the size of Canton.
The-citizens can be just as proud of the
group of people who tnrough the years have
planned and worked for the fday when Can
ton would have large and modern library
facilities.
The combination of the spirit of the peo
ple, plus the facilities, makes an excellent
combination in Canton.
We were impressed with the dedicatory
ceremony on Monday morning, which feat
qred Governor Umstead. Not only did a large
crowd turn out, but the keen interest of
everyone in the project was soon felt by
those attending.
We also like the manner in which Reuberv
R. Robertson, Jr., president of the Champion
Foundation gave the building to the Library
Roard. He emphasized the fact that this was
the first major project in which the founda
tion would participatae in this area. The
foundation is set up to assist with cultural
and health projects which will benefit man
kind the most throughout this section.
All Iluywood is happy for Canton, in ac
quiring such a magnificent building, and
take off our hats to them for their spirit of
progress in such matters.

Important Posts To Fill
Voters of Haywood county will-have the
responsibility on Saturday of nominating
Democratic candidates for two important
posts?House of Representatives and chair
man of the board of commissioners.
F'.oth <if these jK?sts are of vital importance
to the citizens of the county, and if for no
other reason, qualified voters should go out
and vote for their choice of the candidates
in this second primary.
In this time of world confusion, and gen
eral misunderstanding in so many areas, we
hear a lot about loss of freedom, and per
sonal rights. There remains here in America
one right which all can still enjoy, and that
is going to the polls on election day and cast
ing a vote for the candidate of our choice.
The election Saturday is important, and
makes it even more important that every
qualified voter go to the polls and vote.
i
Any ol' fisherman who hooks a big one is
really happy when he reaches the end of his
string.
If you really want to be monarch of all
you survey, just close your eyes.

Welcome To "The Fold"
The Forest City Courier on Monday will
enter the semi-weekly field.
We of the semi-weekly field welcome such
a progressive newspaper into "our fold.".
Publisher Ed M. Anderson has had the
change in mind for many months, and has
installed a new press and other equipment
to enable the plant to produce a newspaper
as modern as tomorrow.
The publisher knows, just like all other
semi-weekly publishers, that it takes a great
deal more money to publish a semi-weekly
newspaper. The profits are slimmer, but the
service to a community is far greater. It was
with this in mind that The Mountaineer
went to a semi-weekly more than eight years
ago?May 1946.
Anderson was named last week as presi
dent of thg National Editorial Association.
We wish for The Courier continued suc
ress, as they launch into a field that doubles
their present publication days.
The Road Ahead In
Public School Education
The position of The Times-News as to
the Supreme Court anti-segregation deci
sion is that there Is no authority in the Con
stitution upon which to base this verdict.
It may appear to be the acme of pre
sumption for a country newspaper to hold
this opinion of a unanimous court decision,
but we find this journal in good company in
taking this position. There are many able
lawyers and some learned men on the bench,
occupying the front seats in this section of
public opinion.
If the people of the United States accept
the decision without protest it will become
law. Perhaps no volume of protest at this
time would avail anything; but as this news
paper said in its first reference to the mat
ter, it is still the right and privilege of
American citizens to disagree with the find
ings of what is supposed to be the most aug
ust tribunal in our country.
It is, also, still the privilege of citizens to
voice their opinions of the actions of their
governing authorities. Our conclusions are
in no particular based on prejudice of any
character or degree; they are fojnded on
some knowledge of history and on condi
tions in the area of the United States where
segregation exists to the most general and
greatest extent.
The easiest task in connection with at
tempts to settle the issue, came in the de
cision of the Supreme Court. Delivering the
Court's verdict was a comparatively light
matter. Enforcing the decision and iron
ing out the "one thousand and one" prob
lems and difficulties to be thus encountered,
if it is ever accomplished will require years.
It may never be fully and successfully ac
complished; and through the years they
will be the source of bickering, the creation
of hatreds and the multiplication of divisions
among the people.
In the South this decision will create
trouble; and will prove to be the source of
what white people and Negroes are going to
decide are tyrannical measures. Ultimately ,
the people of all sections of the nation will
?
come to the conclusion that the forcing of
these measures on the country by what a
mounts to subterfuge is one of the most trag
ic developments in,the history of the country.
Ultimately the honest, patriotic citizens of
every section of the nation will reach un
derstanding of the certainty that this deci
sion and the adoption, of measures to en
force its provisions have made one of the
largest and most irreparable breaches ever
made in the foundations of the Republic.

Report from
Washington
? By
SENATOR ALTON LENNON
WASHINGTON ? The Senate
passed last Thursday with amend
ments the Defense appropriations
hill for fiscal 1955.
AMENDMENT
I was glad to see the Williams I
amendment passed. It required de- I
fense contracts to be awarded in
accordance with competitive bids. 1 ,
There have been attempts made to ,
change this procedure which would
result in serious trouble to employ- ,
ment in industry?particularly tex
tile?in North Carolina and the
South. We have had to be 011 our
legislative toes to keep competitive
bidding mandatory in these con
tracts.
TIIE BILE
The Defense appropriations bill
? approximately thirty billions of
dollars of new money ? provides .
about eleven billion for the Air
Force, ten billion for the Navy,
thirteen billion for the Army, thir
teen and one-quarter billion for the
Departnu nt of Defense and three
ouarter billion for inter-service ac- .
tiviHes.
The new money will be supple
mented bv about fourteen and one
half billion dollars in unobligated
money carried over from-appropri- 1
atiops in nr'vioqs years. 1
VNEXPENDED BALANCE
I voted against the Kennedv
amendment to boost the annrooria- i
?ions bv approximately S350 mil- |
tion Why? There is a carrv-over
of about fortv-four billion dollars ,
of unexpended funds in all the
armed services Add the new monev .
?the approximately thirlv billion
?and we have unexpended innds
of about seventy-five billion to be
available t^rr expenditure bv our
armed services beginning on Julv 1.
of which approximately fortv-four
billion dollars are unobligated In
the case of the Armv. It was shown
that there Is an tinexnended hal
