Public Sentiment Speaks With A Loud Voice 9 The recent decision of the Department of Interior not to impose a toll 011 the Blue Nidge Parkway proves once again the power of public sentiment. Sentiment was definitely against the pro posal, and those in authority soon teamed that the plan to put a toll on the Parkway was contrary to the feelings and sentiments of the public at large. Few matters have come up in North Caro lina in recent years where so much opposi tion was expressed against a matter as there was against the toll. From governor on down; almost every newspaper, civic groups. Chambers of Commerce rind individuals all jxnired in protests. All this proves that public sentiment is still ruler and that officials, no matter what office they hold, give consideration and list en to the voice of united public sentiments. Abundance Our Middle Name People in other lands wonder why the United States produces in such valume, thus making it an enviable place in which to live. The first thought is that the U. S. is natur ally wealthy and blessed with abundant re sources. But automobiles do not just grow from iron ore anymore than do crops from raw land. Individual initiative and the chance to earn a profit explain why the people of the United States produce in the volume they do. Next week looks like a busy week ... Tues day is election day in the four towns in Hay wood ; Thursday the annual Chamber of Commerce banquet and Sunday the Ramp Convention. With the elections coming first, it will at least save a lot of people from mak ing predictions as to the 'outcome as they gather for the other two events. The Haywood county tax collector now has a complete list of every Haywood motor ve hicle registered in Raleigh as of January first. ? By ifowwiafai, th* .ttf&tiaU can easily find who listed their vehicles for county taxes. Those who failed jire going to find an additional penalty attached to their tax bill. The officials expect to find about 200 cases in which the vehicles were not register ed for taxes. This amounts to a sizeable sum the county would have lost, had it not been for the inauguration of this double-check system against the state listing.

Thursday Afternoon, April 28, 1955 Record Vote Predicted In Town Elections We cannot recall whefli there has been as much interest in town ejections in Haywood as this year. All four tomns have about equal interest, and all indications point to a record vote in all towns. With 51 candidates filed in the four towns, it is apparent that the interest should be greater, and all records for total votes cast set up. Waynesville takes the lead with 16 candi dates; Hazel wood with 10; Clyde has 11 and Canton 14. Needless to say, that many candidates will stimulate the vote, which is a healthy sign in any community. There was never a time when the citizens of a town, county, statoe and nation needed to take more interest in their government than now. And the first interest should be in going to the polls and voting for those whom they feel will do tfie best job of carry ing out their respective jobs if elected. ' Progressive Churches Reflect Attitude Of Area The building program just launched by the Clyde Raptists reflects encouragement to this area, as they go into a building program of erecting an educational building of 40 de partmentized classrooms. The program reflects accomplishments of the church, faith, and certainly potential growth. If memory serves us correctly, this is the third church right in Clyde which has gone into a building program in recent years. The Central Methodist and the Wesleyan church es have had expansion programs under way for sometime, which proves that the inter est in churches in Clyde is far ahead of many places. The Baptists have increased Sunday School enrollment by about 70 in the past few years, and with the possibilities, are planning to spend from $65,000 tp $75,000 on their present planned educational build ing. Where you find progressive churches, you find a good coipnrunitjr. And all of us are happy over the progressfventW'oT Clyde's churches, because it reflects the general at titude of the area. CRAZY VNCLE SAM Britain now has joined the nations which have cut their income taxes since World War II. In the United States, income taxes must remain high so that we can send money to Britain and other countries. President Eisen hower, in fact, is asking Congress to approve another $3 billion in foreign aid. No wonder so many foreigners gleefully report that all Americans are crazy.?Charleston News and Courier. r We watched the wind and rain clouds rise over the top of Junaluska Mountain and Kagles Nest Sunday morning. We feel we have theRc two high mountains to thank for us not getting a real "blow". The peaks lift ed the main force of the storm upward over Richland Volley, and apparently it descend ed in the Biltmore Forest Area. Authorities on the growth of ramps tell us that the unseasonable cold weather retarded their growth, but with the recent warm days, and plenty of rain, they are thriving, and taste sweeter than ever before. Please note we said those who know ramps said this. We cannot pose as an authority on the subject. COMPUMtN I b Uf u. 3. m.

SAY * WASHINGTON?The world ob tained an Injection of hope on Fri day of last week when it received the message that Chou En-Iai de clared at Bandung that Red China was desirous of living at peace with the United States. When this col umn was writt^i, we had not learn ed the details of any proposal made by Chou En-Iai as to how peace could be restored to the Far East. Undoubtedly the heart of man kind hungers above all things for a peaceful world. CAREFUL Past experience ought to teach us that wc should examine careful ly any proposal made by any Com munist Nation before we give ac ceptance to it. It ought to be remembered by Americans that the Red Chinese sent hundreds of thousands of their soldiers into Korea to deprive the Korean people of their liberty and that in so doing, they saturated their hands with the blood of the youth of America. At the same time the Red Chi nese indulged in the hypocrisy that the Chinese soldiers in Korea were mere volunteers and were not act-1 ing under the orders of the Red Chinese Government. Moreover, it would be well for us to remember that although the armistice requires them to do so^ the Ped Chinese and their puppets, ?he North Koreans, have failed 1 down to this good hour to give any accounting for about 581 Ameri can soldiers. Marines and sailors ' who presumably fell into their hands as prisoners of war and that the Red Chinese admittedly detain in their prisons at this time fifteen American flyers on trumped up charges. The ancient Arabs had a Droverb which Americans might well heed It was in substance as follows; "If you fool me once. It is your fault; but If you fool me twice. It ! is mine." , We should bear this in mind in our attempt to apnraise.at its true value any proposal made by Chou En-lal. CONSIDER PROPOSAL Despite these considerations, we should reoeive and consider any proposal which the Red Chinese may make. In so doing, however, we must not permit our love for peace to "mouse-trap'' us into any agreement which lessens our capa city to defend ourselves in this hazardous world. If history offers us any lesson, it is that peace lov popples oCtei^tfllar tho Iragjr fate depicted in these words pf 10 years ago Miss Hester Ann Withers be- ( comes bride of Lt.

"And the Gods of the Copy book Headings said stick to the Devil you know". As I see it, there is more than a modicum of wisdom in the advice which Oliver Cromwell gave his soldiers as they were preparing to ford a river near EdgehiU, Eng land: "Trust in the Lord, my boys, and keep your powder dry".

Highland Fling By Bob Conway In his "Roaming the Mountains" column last Sunday, John Parris asserted that the last shot in the War Between the States was fired not in Haywood County, but by men of the C.S.S.

Broth er Parris, but we would like to know one thing: What would any self-rtspecting Southerner be do ing that far north? o Politics really works wonders! Saturday night we saw one of the candidates smile for the first time time In two years. o The most bragging on Waynes ville we have ever heard did not come from a resident of this town, a Haywood countian, or even a Tar Heel.
