"Dr. Torn", An Advocate of Modern
Water Facilities For Waynesville
Yesterday, just as scores of citizens of
this community were gathering fur the 'open
house' uf the filtering plant. I>r. Tom String
field, peacefully crossed to the other side of
the river of life.
The reason we brjng in the filtering plant
is tviruply because as an alderman, and later
* in private life, he talked, and dreamed of the
time when Waynesville would have a modern
filtering plant, and expanded water system.
Dr. Tom was an alderman'w hen the plans
were first discussed, ami he made that hi*
primary project during his term of office. It
seems fitting, that he was able to see the
day when the project was completed, and
while he perhaps did not realise that the
project was being shown to the public Wed
nesday. we shall presume he passed on hap
pier by knowing that his ambition of a com
munity project was a reality.
He was mayor of Waynesville at the time
the first water system was built here in Way
nesville in 1900.
He served a term?in the state senate, and
was active in military affairs.
Although retired as a practicing physician,
he saw another great occasion when he was
rolled through the expanded Hospital a
couple of years ago.
He had seen the community when it was
without hospital facilities; he had practiced
under circumstances which were far from
those afforded in a modern institution, lie
knew the hardships of a pioneer doctor; he
knew what it was to ride a horse through
bitter cold.
A pipneer son of Haywood, he came buck
after finishing college and his internship, to
work among the |>enple he loved. To thelast.
he worked for their present, and future.
"Freedom With Responsibility"
It was recently saitl by an editor that the
American way of life is "freedom with re
sponsibility." Those three words are the
foundation of American independence.
An example of what freedom with respon
sibility means was witnessed after the re
cent hurricane in New Kngland. Probably no
industry was harder hit than the public
utilities electric power and telephone.
Commenting; on the situation, the Journal
Pu>.gister of Painter. Mass. said. "It was re
freshing to see the motorcades of repair
trucks . . . move through this area. The util
ity companies res|>ondod to the emergency
in fine fashion. They even brought in out
side crews . . . to rig up emergency power
where it was needed and. as quickly as |m>s
sible, restore the regular services to their
normal functions,"
This is true "freedom with responsibility."
Two Town Departments
Aided By New Street Washer
A gleaming white street flushing machine
is stored in the fire department, along with
the shining red fire trucks.
The new unit will go a long ways in helj?
ing keep Waynesville streets clean. The 1,200
KHiion tank, with the |x>werful pump, creates
a pressure of 180 pounds on the stream of
water from the four sprinklers.
Another practical feature of the unit, is a
provision for connecting a fire hose to the
pump, and using the muchiiu* as a piece of
valuable" fire-fighting equipment, the unit
can pump water direct from a creek, and
send it out of the fire hose, with steady, ami
hard-hitting pressure.
The primary purpose of the $0,500 piece
of equipment is to keep the streets flushed,
but it will be a stand-by for those emer
gencies when a fire calls for added pump
ing equipment.
This unit replaces one which has seen its
best days, and could no longer perform ef
ficiently, or dejs'iidably, when the need came
in time of a destructive fire.
This addgd piece of equipment brings our
fire department up to a higher standard,
and gives our street crews something that
will enable them to do a better job in less
t ime.
A Poor Idea Of Fun
Many telephone patrons were inconven
ienced for a number of hours last week as
telephone repairmen spliced together 72
wires that had been cut in two by a .22 bul
let.
Two bullets hit a cable near Clyde, and cut
out many phones in the area, including long
distance lines. Repair crews went to work
early Thursday, and it was not until after 1
noon Friday that the shot-up cable was back
in working order.
Resides the inconvenience to patrons, the >
telephone company had a heavy, and unnec
essary expense on their hands for repairing j
the cable.
The person who fifed the bullet into the j
cable did not profit by the act. The satisfac
tion of knowing his (or her) marksmanship
was good enough to hit a cable, was not
worth what the damage cost.
?(>?ficers would liave a liar?) ^m?e%tniickTng *
down such a person unless there was an eye-,
witness to the violation. And now that it is !
known that some people delight in sending,
destructive and dangerous bullets through
telephone cables, there will be more eyes
peeled for violators of this nature. Those
who are brought to face such a charge will J
soon realize that their idea of fun can lie
extremelv expensive.
*
You've heard the expression, "What the'
Sam Hill?" Did you ever wonder "who the I
Sam Dill?" Sam Dill was?
Turns out that it all began years and
years ago in the little town of Guilford,
Conn., and that the expression originally was
"He works like Sam Hill!" . . , Sam was an 1
aetual man. and he took a lot of pride and
pleasure in doing a lot of good work as a hat
maker while, at the same time laboring
diligently for the good of his community as
town clerk, magistrate and member of the
General Assembly.
We don't know why. but we doknow this is
true. When a fellow goes to a ball game, he'll
try to get there early so he can have a front
row seat when he goes to church he wants to
get there early so he won't have to sit in the
front row. 1'eople are peculiar.

Letters to the Editor
A REPORT OF N. C. M1I.K
COMMISSION
TO THE IJAIHYMEN
OF NORTH CAROLINA
'Producers, distributors, et all
The purpose of this letter, and
others which will follow from time
to time, is to keep you informed as
to what the Commission has done,
is dding, and will keep trying to
do The Commission does not have
the staff to carry on personal cor
respondence with each of the thou
sands of milk producers in the
State Hut we do want t" hear from
you. We want your questions and
?believe It of not?we want your
criticism The questions we will try
to answer in future letters. The
criticism may helo the Commission
to do a bettor job in promoting'
and stabilizing milk business in
our State.
We have not done all we tried to
do during the ten months the Com
mission has been active. But as we
look back over the Commission's
brief life, it gives us right much
encouragement. Though we still
t have a long way to go before wc
i fcvi ini> in uurs in iik*
shape we all want it, we already
have made considerable progress.
It was late last summer before
Governor Umstcad appointed the
State Milk Commission We start
ed business with no staff and no
money on which to operate. The
way we borrow ed?borrowed per
sonnel. equipment, and even stamps
| ?was a caution. Hut finally we
got underway and on November 16.
19S3. the?Commission issued its
first regulation. That et un Areas
1, 2. 3, and 4 Areas 5, 6 and 7
were set up on December 1. and
Areas R and 9 on April 16. In a reg
ulation becoming effective October
1, the Commission added Wilkes
County to Area 7 Today, it may
surprise you to learn. 94 of North
Carolina's 100 counties are covered
in the nine areas
Getting back to last November,
while the Commission was strug
gling to get started under consid
erable handicap, some producers
were up to their necks in surplus
milk. In our first month of opera
tion the production of milk was
24.2 percent above the production
of November 1962 And in Decem
ber, our second month of opera
tion. the production in milk was
24.6 percent above that of the pre
vious December. That added to the
pressure
There were, as you will remem
ber, many complaints about the
time it took to get milk regula
tions started Whether or not those
complaints were justified, thev did
prove one thing You wanted ac
tion. This seems a good place to
remind you that no area was taken |
in without a public healing; and ,
that the milk producers in every |
area can vote themselves out at any
time they see fit. But -o far none
have done so.
Another tiling that some pro
ducers do not seem to understand
is that their area is the one in
which they live.
A newspaper reporter was in the
office the other day and asked what
did we think was the Number 1 ac
complishment of the Milk Com
mission during its first ten months
of existence. That sort of stump
ed us. Not because we did not
have the answer, but because it "is
an answer that is rather hard to
pinpoint. It is 'one of those things
you cannot prove, though yoit know
it to be true Nevertheless wo told
him that we believed our major
accomplishment was in putting a
$6 25 floor under the nrice of Class
1 milk. If that had not been done,
the chances are the nrice of Class
1 milk during the spring and sum-,
mcr months would have hit a new
low.
As all of you know?or ought to
know?you started a new base
period on September 1. During this
dx months period you will estab- <
li.sh a base to be used from March 1
until the end of the year. The !
percentage of your milk which will j
sell at Class 1 prices after March 1 |
will depend on the base you estab-1
lish between now and then, and the !
amount of milk your distributor
sells.
Some of these rules regarding,
base seem complicated. In a wey |
they are. A future letter will be ?
devoted largely to the base plan. |
Suffice it here to say we are try
ing to simplify this procedure as
b( st we can. and at the same time!
keep the system fair to all. Like
any job of this magnitude, it will '
take time. Remember the Commis- |
sion has its responsibilities to the i
milk consuming public as well as j
to the producer and the distributor.
Rt member also the law says that
the! Commission has no control:
over the quantity of milk you pro- .
dure or where you market it You.
and you alone, will establish your
own base.
There are three fairly recent de- i
velopments about which you should '
be informed in this first letter.'
rhey arc:
1.?The Milk Commission alitor-|
leys have found it expedient to
settle the Commission's claim
jgainst Coble Dairy Products, Inc.
for underpayment to producers.
Coble Dairy Products paid $28,750
:>n this claim. Allocations of this
payment to producers has been1
made on the March 1954 purchases j
of Grade A milk. Only producers j
who received payments in Class 2 '
and Class 3 is March participated
in this settlement. Producers who
received Class 1 payments for their
total deliveries in the month of
March will not receive any addi
tional payment for this claim.
2.?On September 1 milk Mar
keting Order No. 1 was amended
lo authorize the establishment of j
bases for producer - distributors
who operate to supply bulk milk
only to other milk distributors. At
present that applies only to the
Yadkin Valley Cooperative, which
explains the name given the plan.
Under the plan. YVDC acts as a
producer for Southern Dairies of
Charlotte. Southern Dairies of
Wilson, Gardner Dairy of Rocky
MounV Maola Milk and lee Cream
Company of New Bern, and White
Ice Cream and Milk Company of
Wilmington. It will build bases
with these distributors from Sep
tember 1 to March 1. 1955, There
after if will share in the class use
of milk purchased by those five
distributors. ,You will notice that
only one of the distributors affect
ed is in Piedmont North Carolina.
The other four are in Eastern
North Carolina where the year
around production of milk does
not equal the demand. That means
that a number of producers in
