Disease
;
Rate Less
Than Normal
Although it's still a bit curly to
make any predictions, present in
dications are that Haywood Coun
ty's 1954 burley crop will be a
good one?possibly one of the best
in the past several years.
J C. Wells.- plant pathologist at
N. C. State College, told the Moun
taineer last week that the West
ern Carolina tobacco crop, as it ap
peared to him on his journey here
from Raleigh, generally looked
good.
"And with the rain you've been
| getting lately, it should be very
good," he added.
Mr. Wells explained that dry
weather in July has kept diseases
\ down, but cautioned growers to be
] on guard against infestations caus
j ed by bacteria or fungus, which
j may result from the recent heavy
: rains here.
As to market prices for this
] year's crop, the N. C. State special
! ist said expected rates have not
i been disclosed, but he opined they
' will be similar to those paid in
1953. Burley prices do not fluctu
ate as much as those of other agri
cultural commodities, he comment
ed.

Lewisburg, W. Va., recently

Harry Buchanan, highway commis
sioner of the 14th district, for his
action of seeking to get the Pi
geon River Road on the inter-state
system.
The five editors, in editorials in
their respective newspapers point
ed out that the Pigeon River is an
area project, and will serve is a
connecting link between the mid
west and the south, with the only
all-weather road, on a water-level
route.
As the contractors are pushing

Don't Sit On The Sidelines,
Rollman Tells South Youth
"Have a purpose In life, don't
be content to sit on the sidelines,"
Methodist young people of nine
Southeastern states meeting at
Luke .lunaluska were told Friday
night by a Waynesville industrial
ist, Heinz W. Rollman.
Itollman. who fled his native
Germany to escape persecution at
the hands of Adolph Hitler, de
scribed his personal plan for world :
peine iti his address to the 90(1 j
delegates to the Soulhwidc Youth
Convocation and summer visitors.
"Every person should have a
plan, a purpose in life, and take
an active part in making things
happen," he told the youth group.
"For unless the people themselves
understand what is needed and
take action to do something prac
tical about the world situation, for
example, our government can do
little else hut bungle along, ham
pered by the lack of understand
ing and the complacency of the
constituents."
Features of Kollman's peace
plan, which he has named "World
Construction," includes a "peace
army of three million persons who
would go abroad, not with hate
and guns, hut wjth love and re
spect to teach technical and agri
cultural skills and other practical
means to other nations so that
their underprivileged people may
lilt themselves out of their misery
and poverty."
The most pressing need. Roll
man said, is to stop the spread
and growth of Communism among
the underprivileged. "This would
prove with action, not Just vague
