TODAT-S BIBLE VERSE TODAY'S QCo^J ?Editorial Page of The Mountaineer " 1 - ii CkiMi ?.<.? ^ J _.?s ? - ? - I Very Thankful ?Merchants, and homeowners are indeed thankful for the "treatment" they received cm Halloween night, as the *|>ooks and fob lins went about their business of fun without damaging or marking up property. We IMlspect that those who were inclined to damage pro|iertv feel mucn better than if they had created a lot of damage during the night. In years |<ast. Halloween has la*en a night which all store owners have dreaded, because Df the terrific beatityg their show windows took from lieing marked up with candles, ami ether material that made cleaning a long, hard task. Kveryono wants the youngsters to have fun, as long as it is innocent fun, and it aj? js'ars that is exactly what the large majority ?>f the young people had on jast Saturday Might. This is to say to ttyem. many, many thanks, and let's follow the same pattern next October .list. Leisure Or Idleness? Sometimes, when the weather is not too suitable fur Comment, or when vtfe have lit erally won. that one out. we carelessly com plain about the hours that we work. When we ilo find ourselves flying off an such a tang ent. perhaps it would be well to give some thought to a comparison of the hours that we work with those our parents tjnd grand parents. Only a few of us have experienced the dawn-to-dusk hours of our forefathers. Our lives are today filled with leisure. We have time for automobile rides, movies, tele vision. golfing. and shopping sprees?all of which can be pleasant diversions. However, it is inturesting and worth noting that we do not use ait of our leisure time on what you might call diversions. No sir. We paint the bedroom, raise money for the church, help run the I'.T.A.. and carry out scores of other projects that get extra jobs done. When we look at it like this, leisure isn't idleness. Leisure does not necessarily mean idleness. It is likely that as leisure has increased, idle ness has decreased. This great gift of leisure has been given to us by technology, and technology in turn be came possible because education lifted the shackles and nurtured the inquiring mind of man. Let us never forget this fact. Man has opened up new eras largely through educa tion. Curiously enough. Marx. Kngels, and other communist theoreticians of their day thought that things would work out the op posite way. They believed that more ma chines would mean more economic slavery, and that the workers would turn into mere robots toiling in monstrous factories. Those communist'theorists were wrong. Technology coupled with free enterprise, all taught in our public schools, has given us far more than any other nation in the world ; and you know something, we haven't scratched the surface yet.

Nov. I. 1 I Haywood Sets Good Example On Use Of Absentee Ballot Haywood County can hold her head high, smile, and look the world in the face this morning, following her conduct of the Tues day election, and the time prior to the elec tion. Some of our neighboring counties cannot enjoy the satisfaction of having a "perfect record" from the election, and their use of absentee ballots. , According to the records, there are some counties with only about half the number of qualified voters as Haywood, that issued upwards of 1,000 absentee ballots. Here in Haywood, the board of elections issued only 08 absentee ballots, and the large majority of these were to military personnel. We ex|H'ct that when all the totals are computed, that for 20,000 registered voters, the rath* here in Haywood will be the lowest in the state. This is one time we enjoy being in the low bracket. It is a c redit to our citizens, and to our belief in fair, and clean elections. Not for one minute would we try to center blame fdr apparent abuse of the absentee bal lot, which is being charged in other counties. That is a matter for the courts to decide. However, we feel that all the publicity, and the adverse criticism which has come from the recent "wholesale" issuance of the ab sentee ballots in some counties in Western North Carolina will result in the General As sembly giving this phase of our election laws I a close scrutiny. In fact, from what we have been able to see. everyone wanting fair and clean elections have not found any fault with the law that prohibits absentee ballots in the primary. We feel that here in Haywood, where only (>8 out of 20,000 registered vot ers got absentee ballyts, there is a definite trend, proven by fact, the average person is no longer interested in the absentee ballot. If the Legislature would take the matter up from that angle, and abolish the phase* of the election law pertaining to absentee bal lots, we believe everyone would be far hap pier. Certainly, there would be less commotion and turmoil such as many counties are now sorrowfully experiencing. * Sure, We Can Have Winter Weather The averutte |??'rson had more to talk about, Tuesday than there was time to talk?the j unseiisonal weather and the election. Of course, the most oft heard "pun "Wfts J that the election was not hot enough to temper the weather. According to those who lived here many years, the feeling is that it has been quite it while since Muy\von<l had as much snow on November second. The intermitting snow falls of Tuesday, followed by perfectly clear skies Wednesday, gave hope to the optimistic that we were! not in for a long winter of continuous snow. This much can be said in favor of the snow, it helped the forest fire situation, its well its put it lot of water into the ground. Witter from snows does not run off like that of a hard rain, especially after such it dry spell as we have had, when the ground in many places is almost like pavement. The snow also gave hope to the merchant who hits felt almost all fall that there would not he any winter weather to create it larger demand for heavier merchandise. Well, the snow, and low temperatures which we have just experienced should make firm believers of all of us thitt w^can have w inter again. have more leisure than ever in-fore in his tory. Many nations have promised more leisure, together with an abundance of goods and services, but only America and our sys tem of free enterprise, nurtured by it public school system, has delivered.

CI RT1S Hl'SS ll will he a long, long time before the 33,000 fans who witness ed the Diikc-t'.oorgia Tech game in Durham Saturday get completely hack to normal The game had everything that a football game could offer And the climax was like these storybook finishes, or some movie, where the hero saves the day. Duke saved the (lay with less than 40 seconds to play Midway the third quarter, with the score 20-0 in favor of Tech. the Blue Devils caught on fire and started to make progress. Up to that moment odds were 100 to 1 that Tech would win. Every one felt that way with the exception of the Duke team. ,lorry Barger. Duke quarterback, is neing quoted as making the pi i/o quote of the day . as he asked Coach Bill Murray in the dress ing room after the game: "You weren't really worried, were you j Coach '" We did not get the coach's answer, hut one thing is certain, he must have been worried, just the the thousands of Duke fans in the stands. Among the many exciting moments, was the first quarter when Tech got to the one-foot line, and failed to go over. Again with less than a minute to play. Duke had three yards to go on the fourth down, while on the Tech seven. The Dukes gambled, and made the | iirst down by mere inches Then it was that the screams of the Duke 1 tans sounded like another Hazel passing through A couple ot ardent Duke fans, sitting right hack oi us. left right after the half, with the remark: "This is loo bad to witness ? let's go home " . Fans and coaches admitted that it was one of the hardest play ed games ever seen in the Duke stadium It was clean throughout, but when a man was tackled, he was tackled for keeps One receiver of a Duke pass, made a swan dive as he pulled in the ball, and went face downward to add 15 yards for the Blue Devils Jimmy Thompson, a small chunky Tech back, replacing Billy Teas, of Andrews made a record lor himself. He darted, ran. and dodged his way through tin1 Duke line, and piled up yard after yard, as the llig Duke linesmen failed to get a firm grip on the scampering Yellow jacket. The Tech quarterback Mitchell, was a cool, steady player, and literally gave his shirt on one occasion to make a first down. Barger the Duke quarterback, pulled the unexpected, and started short passes after long ones failed to pay off. He handled the ball to perfection. v The Dukes managed to take advantage of two costly fumbles, and held twice when the Yellowjackets needed to gain. Although Duke was outplayed, it must be said, they took the chances, and advantages of good breaks, and slipped by with a one point margin. The Duke-Tech game was similar to the one we saw last year as the Blue Devils nosed out Purdue in a last-minute pass which went for a touchdown. With the clock showing less than 30 seconds to go. Nelson, the aceurate-toed Duke, stepped back for the extra point.
