Part-Time Farming 1 About one-third of our farms in North- , Carolina are classified as part-time farming, according to an article in the North Carolina . Experiment Station publication, "Research in Farming." When it comes to Western North Caro lina, a much greater percentage of our farms , are classified as part-time farming. The pro portion of part-time and residential farms in 1950 in Haywood County was 71 per cent, Henderson County 61 per cent, Transylvania County 86 per cent and in Buncombe County 67 per cent. . <. These figures illustrate how far the move ment toward -jmrt-time farming has gone in our western counties. On many a farm, one or two members of the family have a whole time or part-time job in industry or teaching or public work. This is a very healthy situa tion. It gives a family the advantages of growing up on the farm and having more income than the average small mountain farm can develop. A farm is the finest place in the world to bring up children. Children who have defin ite chores to do such as taking care of the chickens or milking the cows or making the garden or cultivating a patch of land?de velop a sense of responsibility that steadies them all through life. There is another advantage to jmrt-time farming. Should a man who has a job sud denly be thrown out of work, he has his farm to keep the family going and to keep the wolf from the door. Part-time farming is build ing a generally improved scale of living all through our mountain counties. ?Raleigh News and Observer. Perfect Cook Robots are getting better and better. For quite a while these mechanical marvels have been able to figure mathematical problems, and now one has been invented that can bake a cake. This latest example of man making him self obsolete was on display in New York. The cake was recorded on tape and then run through the electronic marvel. The result was cake after cake, each alike and each perfect. The uses of the mechanical brain hereto fore Jiave been confined to industry, re search and spectacular pieces of showman ship such as televised election returns. The thought of robots for the kitchen opens many a lovely vista. Here, ]>erhaps, is the answer to the servant problem; the im peccable cook with never a day off, abso lutely non-alcoholic, and once the final in stallment is met, one who works for .free. ?Atlanta Constitution.

Thursday Afternoon. June 23, 1955 ? 'J* *iL. *"P_ ?? ** I A. Practical Lesson Right Here At Home Last Monday The Mountaineer published the first of a series of articles on the life of Judge Felix E. Alley. A truly interesting series, which began with the early days of the distinguished jurist, as he worked his way through school, graduating from high school at the age of 23. We felt it significant to begin this series right at this time, when commencement is still fresh on the minds of so many young people, and let them know to what means some people have had to go in order to get an education. Many of our leading citizens today had to sacrifice, and endure many hardships in order to get to school for an education. > The first chapter also showed the devotion young Alley had for his father, and how the young man eager for an education left the University because of the illness of his aged father. We recommend the series, and especially to the young people. it will present a lesson of what can be at tained when there is a deep desire to acquire that which is worthwhile. Doctors From Five States Our Guests Again This weekend will mark the second annual meeting of the Mountaintop Medical As sembly in this community. More than 200 doctors from five states are expected to attend the convention for the two-day session, which will include about J eight hours of lectures with the afternoons devoted to recreation. The success of last year's Assembly will probably mean an even lurg^r attendance : here this weekend, because of the high type j program, plus the long weekend of recreation which the doctors can mix with the educa tional phase of the convention. Jhe doctors like this community as a' meeting place for their surpmer assembly?1 it is large enough to afford every modern ac commodation, yet small enough to retain a homelike atmosphere so necessary when one I is trying to relax and "learn" at the same j time. The doctors will again see the Cherokee drama. "Unto These Hills" as well as do a i tittle slghtsWlTig fn 'some of thfciP" spare moments. ' It is nice to have the conventioneers come \ back, and trust that their meeting will again be successful, and that, they will begin look ing towards their third annual meeting here in June 1956. A Commendable Centennial Edition Tne tYanklin Press, with their 48-page I centennial edition, made one almost wish they had lived heck in "the good old days." | The edition was complete, well illustrated,! and filled "with factual articles about the early days of the county seat of Macon. The edition will be of unusual historical! value in the years to come, because between the two covers of that issue were many facts about Franklin which would probably have never seen the light of day except for the centennial. Kditor Weimar Jones and his staff are to be congratulated on their edition, and the completeness and attractive manner in which it was presented.

Lee of Waynesville. , now abroad, which appeared in Monday's issue of The Mountain eer. was written especially for this newspaper by D. Maurice Smyth of the Lame Times in Northern Ire- , land. However, another article about Mrs. Lee was written by reporter Smyth for his own newspaper. A clipping of this story also was sent to The Mountaineer. Although the article generally is well-written and interesting, one paragraph in Mr. Smyth's literary piece brings an American reader to a screeching halt. Along about midway in his story, the Irish writer, extolling "the beauty of the Irish country side steaming under the heat of a wane sun," makes reference by comparison to the "open, rather dull countryside" of the United States! We would have to agree that some parts of the United States might be termed "dull" in regard to its scenic beauty, but can this derogatory noun be applied to Mrs. Lee's home town? Smyth does not mention any particular locality in the U. S. as being "open, rather dull," but we doubt seriously that the remark concerns Western North Carolina with its towering mountain peaks, cool forests, shimmering lakes, and leaping waterfalls. Residents of this region firmly believe that Western North Caro lina has no equal east of the Mis sissippi River and we have attend ance figures in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Blue Ridge Parkwav. and Pisgah Nation al Forest to back us up. As for comparing the Uinted States with Ireland, we can't hrgue ?he point because we have never been to the Emerald Isle?and Mr Smvth apparently has never been to this country. But like somoene once said. "Im migration Is the sincerest form of flattery." 0 - According to a friend, this acta allv happened. On a visit to Haywood County, a woman from Arkansas nude a, telephone call- to the Nantahala Hardware in Canton. When a clerk answered the nhone. the ?-r*" inquired: "May I speak to Mr. Nantahala*" A sign on the road to Camp Schaub at the Mountain Experi ment Station reads: "You Can't Buy Children; Drive Carefully." ? -o Deputy Sheriff Everett MoF.lroy. who is also police chief of the Lake Junaluska Assembly, was showing a young delegate at the lake his handcuffs Wednesday night. Mac snapped the "bracelets" on the boy and then discovered a few minutes later that he had lost his key! It took a trip to the sheriff's of fice to release the shackled young ster. ? o Although we love the tune. "Dixie" as much as any real Southerner, we feel that a Georgia auction firm showed poor taste by using a record of the Southern "anthem" on its sound truck to drum up business for a land sale. '?*'?
