M The Gray Ladies Come Through The Gray Ladies are so constituted, and trained for hard task*, that their records show they "always come through." Their latest undertaking, that of raising $600 to finance the blood bank here for an other year, goes down in the history books as a successful project, because the members of the organization raised?what they set out to raise. Their achievements were not for their per sonal benefits, nor glory, The sole idea was to have in readiness, blood for such cases as might need it. The blood bank is just part of their pro gram, and financing the program is just one phase of it. Another part, and one that is of utmost importance is getting contributors of blood. The Gray Ladies will be right in there pushing that phase to a successful comple tion. we are sure. Thinning Down The Docket Book Judge Walter E. Johnston, Jr., in presid ing over the two-week term of criminal court here in Haywood, has cleared a lot of cases from the over-crowded docket. When court opened, there were about 425 cases on the docket. Needless to say, that is too many cases to face any court. The first day saw 173 cases settled. Most of them were traffic violations, but never theless, they were cases on the docket which" had to be disposed of according to the law. Judge Johnston works efficiently, consist ently, and from the standpoint of the tax payers, he conducts his court in a manner that is proving economical to them. Indications are that by the time he ad journs this term of court, the docket book will be a stream-lined looking article, instead of the bulging over-stuffed one it was when he arrived here July 12, Ignorance Runs Wild In The Land Probably Charles B. Aycock would give up in distrust, rebuke the people and rate Wisconsin as a foreign land were he to re turn today and evaluate the progress edu cation has made since he launched the school movement half a century or more ago. No doubt, the great educator would be puzzled to understand how a dragon like McCarthyism could run wild up and down the land to the plaudits of so many people. Surely, he would hang his head in. shame when he learned how so many people are ?>eing fooled by a multi-millionaire like Hunt ^vith his misleading "Facts Forum." When he viewed the over-all picture he would either have to admit his plan failed or the people are too busy to open their eyes and are being duped. ?The Williamston Enterprise. ? Shared By Millions As the dust cleaned from a dynamite blast within the 1,026-foot tunnel on the Pigeon River Road last Friday, workmen saw from within, daylight. This meant that the end ?had been reached and the mountain had been bored from one end to the other. A tradition among tunnel workers is to always strive to be the first through such a hole, so true to form, one crawled through, to hold the honor of being the first to go all the way through the tunnel, The next honor will be for the driver who goes all the way through it a vehicle. The completion of the tunnel shows that work on the 6.4-mile link of the road is go ing forward, and the contractors plan to be at the end of their link by fall. The eagerness with which the miner wanted to go through the tunnel is shared, shall we say, by countless millions of motor ists who want an all-weather, water-level road from the mid-west to this section of North Carolina and many other southern points. From engineers we learn that there are three short tunnels in the next proposed link to be let. And here again, we share the eagerness of the same countless millions, that trust it ?will not be too long before the same miner, or others just like him, can crawl through the first gap at the other end. We can see daily, the growing need of the Pigeon River Road, another point that is shared by those countless millions. -v . ? ? Tour Time In Haywood Tuesday marked the first of the series of 13 inter-community tours and picnics set for this year. This phase of the rural program in Hay wood has perhaps done more to acquaint the citizens of Haywood with the county, and with each other than any other part of the wonderful program. Each community is host during the sum mer to some other community that comes i in and makes a tour of the area and enjoys a picnic dinner, and then stage a series of athletic events in the afternoon. Each com munity is also a guest on the exchange pro- i gram. Such a program is good for the guests as well as the hosts. It provides ideas, and fel lowship which cannot be matched under other conditions. Now that the community tours, and the | visitation time of the year is here, the citi zens who participate will be much the better off by having done so. The State Flower When I was looking in Webster's New In ternational Dictionary for something else the other day I saw two pages devoted to' pictures of state flowers. The display, in bril liant colors, gave a pleasing touch of beauty ; and romance to the enormous businesslike volume. My glance roved over the flowery and I came upon the Oxeye Daisy pictured as North Carolina's. I said to myself that was a new one on me. 1 consulted the World Al manac. As 1 had supposed to be the fact, it gave the Dogwood as our State flower. Then I consulted" the North Carolina Almanac; (published by Mrs. Ehringhaus and Mrs. C.oerch) and found this on page 480:? "The General Assembly in 1941 designated the Dogwood as the State flower." What's the explanation of the WNI's assigning to us the Oxeye Daisy? Was that our flower once upon a time, unofficially, before the General Assembly made its designation? Louis Graves, Chapel Hill Weekly.

Last week marked the end of my first year in the United States Senate. VISITOR Governor Umstead paid a sud den and surprise visit to the Capi tol last Thursday. He was return ing from the Governoas' Confer ence in New York. He visited with Senator Ervin and myself and then we went to the House to visit with the North Carolina Congressional delegation and other friends. The Governor's visit coincided with the anniversary of my being sworn into 'he Senate. AMENDMENT Last week. Senators Bridges and Rvrd introduced Senate Joint Res olution 174 It oroooses an amend ment to the Constitution of the United States to provide for the imoosition of Federal taxes to pro "'de revenues at least equal to np oronriations. exceot in time of war declared bv the Congress or when 'he United States is engaged in I oocn hostility against an external "nemv This would prohibit deficit sDendine SOUND APPROACH It is obvious that the present legislative procedure to deal with the fiscal situation of our govern ment is totallv inadequate.

Efforts are *?ln* to be made to raise the national i debt limit. It was tried last year at the last minute but the Senate told the Administration to tighten up a little. The country got by without saddling the citizens with more national debt. DEBT MANAGEMENT Most people do not worry a great deal about the national debt. Per haps we should look at it from the angle of the burden of paying the interest on the debt and the cost of managing it. For example, it takes about seven billion dollars annually to pay the interest and keep the books on the debt. That is something that has to be paid out of taxes every year. Remember too. that it has not been long since that figure was more than the na tional budget. It is imperative that aomething be done about eliminat ing deficit spending. There's no use of being rabid about the subject? rather we must approach it intel ligentl.v and courageously. 1 am convinced that S. J. Res. 174 has great merit. THIS-AND-T1IAT Washington had some at the hot weather. The temperature climbed to 100 degroes for two consecutive days . . Congress is still planning to get out by the end of the month The Si nate has been running from abou? ten in the morning to late at night . . . There are 9,579 taxi cabs in Washington. Tourists At Home STOCKHOLM <AP>?Tourists in Sweden are being offered a new vorvice ? "Sweden at Home." Stockholmers are asked to receive them for luneh or dinner in their j homes so they can get a closer glimpse of Swedish life than would be possible in restaurants. Wher ever possible host and guest will be selected according to their pro f? ssions or hobbies. Introductions are arranged through a tourist in formation center. A similar ser vice, "Meet the Danes." has been operating successfully for several years in Copenhagen. The roads built by ancient Rome still form the skeleton for the high ways of Europe. scon's SCRAP BOOK By R. J.
