Rabies ? A Warning
Since Haywood has had experience with
rabies, all of us will read with more than
casual interest, the editorial recently appear
ing in The Atlanta Journal on 'he subject.
"One of the deadliest enemies of man and
beast ? rabies ? is with us again, and the
State Department of Public Health has sent
out word for Georgians to be on guard.
"Contrary to public opinion, rabies is most
l>revalent in the spring, and is not confined
to "dog days" in the hot weather of late,
suitimer. Often it is detected in dogs, cats
and foxes in the fall and winter.
"In the last four years it has claimed the
lives of three Georgians. One of these, a 3
vear-old boy, died only a few days ago in an
Athens hospital.
"The Health Department warns that per
sons bitten by animals should at once report
to a physician, so that anti-rabies treatment
can be administered if necessary. The ani
mal should be put under observation by a
veterinarian.
"Health officials estimate that not more
than 10 per cent of the dogs in Georgia were
inoculated against rabies this year.
"In communities where there is 100 per
cent vaccination of dogs, rabies virtually
disappears. There is a duty every Georgian
owes to himself and his neighbors ? have
pets inoculated and report animal bites with
out delay.
"The offending animals may show no
signs of infection at the time, so no one can
afford to take chances."
He Played The Game Right
Grantland Rice, characterized in the press
as the dean of American sports writers, is
dead. Few, if any, men engaged in sports
writing, have captured so much of the atten
tion of the American public as did Grantland
Rice.
Rice's life, viewed from the standpoint of
the business in which he was engaged, was
eminently successful; and recollections of
his career will survive long in the history of
American sports.
However, he will be remembered long by
a host of fellow citizens who have been
graphically impressed by his philosophy of
life stated in the often quoted verse;
"When the Great scorer comes
4 To mark against your name;
He'll write not 'won* or 'lost'.
But how you played the game."
Rice stated a great truth in these lines.
Win or lose, the final test is in how you play
the game. It is not always a light or easy
matter for the loser to play the game in that
spirit; but it is the spirit in which men ought
to play the game, whether in sports or the
more serious and weighty affairs of life.

We Get What We Deserve
Rowland R. Hughes has one of the tough
est and most responsible jobs in the country
?Director, Bureau of the Budget. He recent
ly said: "A point I wish strongly to empha
size is that thin fiscal and budget task iR
one which requires teamwork. There are
three distinct parties to it: the administra
tion. of course; the Congress, definitely; but
the public ? the citizen ? is equally import
ant. How much can be done by the admini
stration and the Congress is primarily de
pendent upon the support of public opinion."
Most mem in political life keep their ears
to the ground. They try to give their con
stituents and the voters at large what they
think is wanted. To a very great extent, it
is the people who lead ? and their repre
sentatives in government who follow.
That is certainly true of our financial af
fairs us a nation. If we really want econom
ical government, we will get it ? if we want
wasteful, paternalistic government, we will
get that. It is true, of course, that everyone
pays lip service to the cause of government
al economy. It is equally true that, when the
chips are down, we too often want all the
economy confined to the other fellow?not
to us. This "take it out of his pocket, not i
mine" attitude is largely the reason why it [
is so enormously difficult to even moderate-1
ly reduce non-essential spending.
Here an old axiom applies with full force:
We get the Ifciod of government we deserve.

Unanswered Questions
Rep, Charles R. Jonas pointed out in a
House speech the other day how TV A has
failed to benefit the Tar Heel state in many
ways, but he left a Rood many other pertin
ent questions about the administration's
power policy unanswered.
VVe nRree with Congressman Jonas' con
cern about the manner in which TVA taps
North Carolina's resources in the mountain
section and fails to send back any of the,
benefits ; a Rood case can be made against j
TVA on that purely provincial basis.
But we also believe that TVA. consider
ing its over-all performance, has been bene- j
ficial and useful to the nation and that it !
ought not to be crippled at a time when the 1
need for power is acute ? both public and
private. Our view is that the nation can ac- ;
commodate both public find private power
projects ? and that neither ought to be al- [
lowed to infringe unduly on the domain c?f i'
the other. Public power came into being be- j
cause there were power needs which could ,
not be met through private channels.
But here are some questions about the ;
administration's current power policy which ;
Congressman Jonas did not answer:
Why did the White House go over the 1
head of the Atomic Energy Commission to '
award a contract for the gigantic new nower
proiect at West Memphis, Ark., to the Dixon
Yates combine?
Whv was the contract awarded without
competitive bids?
Could the power plant have been built for
$00 Ooo 000 less hv TVA than the amount
specified in the Dixon-Yates contract which
the White House bnlldoged through over
A EC opposition ?
There are ouesfions which a Senate in
vestigating committee, over protest of manv
kev Republican Senators, is trving to get
answered. We repeat our agreement with
Representative Jonas* views about TVA as
thev aonlv to North Carolina, b it we wond
er what his views are about contributions of
TVA to the whole nation and particularly
how he and other staunch hackers of the Eis
enhower power oolicv can iustifv the manner
in whieh the l)iron-V?t-?s extract has been
steamrollered over the AFC.

Highland Flings
By Bob Conway
Lots of people believe that the a
mountains are at their best in the d
Springtime when nature has J
awakened from her icy slumber.
Many others vow that you just u
can't beat these parts in the good
Z)
aid summertime.
However, We are willing to go w
crawling out on a limb far enough 1;
lo voice the opinion that the ma
jority of folks hereabouts feel that e
fall is best of all" in the Carolina ii
highlands. - s
Impressive the year around ? w
even in the dull grey of winter ? n
our mountains become a veritable J
fairyland when draped in autumn's
multicolored cloak.
With Mother Nature putting on I
her "The Greatest Show On Earth"
each year, why don't we human1 p
beings join in the festivities? ^
In other words, why doesn't Hay- p
wood County stage a show of its e
own to coincide with the height of j
the color season? For instance, you u
might call it the "Color Carnival".
The event would be a coopera- 1
tive one. including all the civic
organizations of Waynesville and
Hazelwood and those in the rural P
areas of the western end of the ^
county sueh as the CDP and the P
Home Demonstration clubs. Of "
course, if our neighbors in the ^
Canton area wished to join in, '
we'd be glad to have them. v
During "Color Carnival"?which c
nrobablv would he held on Fridav
and Saturday?all activities would v
be directed towards creating a *
"mountaineer" atmosDhere.
There would be. for instance. ]
souare dancers guitar pickers, fid
dlers. ballad singers, mountain j
craftsmen such as anneared at the ,
annual fair in Asheville. mountain (
hunters and their hound does ,

or straw hats, and women in rot
ton or gingham.
For the men. of course, beards
would be required, with prizes for
outstanding examples of hirsute
adornment.
All in all. it should be a lot of
fun and could in time grow into
a major annual event. It might
help, too. to extend this area's
abbreviated tourist season.
In addition to the bright hues
