T0DAY'S WOfATlo, I Editorol Page of the Mountaineer .ewstMsJ ___??????** ' ? * ? / Corpening Stresses Fundamentals Of Life Wayne Corpening, a former county agent, and now affiliated with a large bank in Winston-Salem, is spending a lot of his time going about the state making speeches on rural development. Corpening was in Macon County last week in connection with their agricultural pro gram, and according to The Franklin Press, made some timely suggestions about what it takes to make a good life. Corpening list ed these eight: "Health enough to make work a pleasure; wealth enough to support your needs; strength enough to battle with difficulties and overcome them; grace enough to con fess your sins and forsake them; patience enough to toil until some good is accomplish ed: charity enough to see some good in your neighbor; faith enough to make real the things of God; hope enough to remove all anxious fear concerning the future." m mmm m m m Un ihe Verge Of Bigger Things' Last week while here as chairman of the Board of Conservation and Development, Governor Hodges said he felt the state was on the "verge of big things." The Raleigh News and Observer picking up his statement commented editorially: "We should be. The whole nation is in the midst of a phase of expansion and develop ment. North Carolina enterprise is receiving and will inevitably receive a greater share of the economic progress. "And North Carolina as a State should l>e moving to make its governmental services particularly in the fields of schools and roads equal to the requirements of a State on the 'verge of big things.' "Unfortunately North Carolina now is a State of bulging school houses and worn-out main roads. Its children, upon whom the fu ture depends, have in the present outgrown the schools provided for them. Its roads, up on which all advance and expansion must move, are narrow, twisting and broken. "It is good news that we are 'on the verge of big things.' It would be better news if the Governor would transform that faith in to clear, imaginative programs to make the State ready for the expansion which he pre dicts. "Leadership cannot be a mere waiting in expectancy. It must include also bold pre parations for a greater State. The spirit of ]>olitical leadership must at least be equal to the enterprise of private business if it is to be ready to welcome and serve the de velopment it expects. "GovernoY Hodges' prediction is welcome. News of his vigorous preparation of pro grams to speed and serve such development for the State and its people, its old residents | and its new industries, would be more wel- , come still." I Halloweeners Should. Not Damage Property , Many property owners dread the arrival of Halloween, because it often brings dev astation of property, and much useless markings of plate glass windows in the busi ness section. There is a time for fun, provided it is gen uine fun and not at the expense of the inno cent who must repair the damages. There are ways of having a lot more fun Cther than through doing a lot of damage 5 property. We trust the fun-makers will keep this in mind tonight. Interest In Tobacco Festival Increasing It appears that a lot of interest is being shown in the annual Tobacco Festival and Home Arts Show slated for Nov. 7-8. One of the highlights of the show will be the an nual award of prizes to the community show ing the most progress for the year. , i In the meantime, the women are making plans for their unusual exhibits, which are always colorful and interesting, while the men are looking over their tobacco to select i several hands for entry into the tobacco ( show. j From all indications, this will be a won- , derful show. i i Brighter Future Faces This Area A new era is dawning in this arejt. Also a new industrial era is beginning. Parkway projects, and further National Park development are now a certainty. ( All of these will reflect in our economy, and will prove beneficial from many angles. On the immediate horizon, together with * the industrial expansion program here, is the order to complete the 10-mile link of the Parkway from Wolf Laurel to Ravensford, < plus a new highway from Cherokee to New- ' found Gap through the Park. The recent completion of the 11-mjle link i of the Parkway in Pisgah has proven just c what interest the public has in such a ven- * ture. On October 23, an actual count was made of 2,345 cars entering the link at Wagon Road Gap. Officials estimate at least 4 500 more cars entered through the Sherwood Forest end. of the road. With a "good break" in the weather, the 11-mile link of the Parkway from Soco to Heintooga will get the final paving surface before cold weather sets in, thus assuring us of another major spring, summer and fall attraction next year. The proposal of a cold water trout lake in Pisgah, near the Parkway, at Yellow Stone Falls, has many unusual possibilities. It would be the only such lake along the en tire Parkway. The very fact that it is over 5,000 feet high, and ideal for trout, would be a major sports and scenic attraction. The full development of the lake would have to come through a cooperative program of sev eral governmental agencies. This, together with the present Parkway link in Pisgah, is certain to create increased travel in the Pisgah area. A new highway into the Park from Chero kee to Newfound, together with the Park way feeding motorists into the Park at Ravensford, will mean more travel into the Smokies. In the meantime, this newspaper feels that there will be a road constructed down Pigeon River. All these facts prove that even the most conservative citizen must realize that a new era is dawning on this area.

He was dressed up like a devil and was afraid of him self until he found out what the treats were, then he was thrilled to death with every little piece of bubble gum and candy!" Walter Clark, Canton ? "The Halloween as a boy when I hap pened along a street just behind a group of boys who threw a rock on top of a house. The rock rolled off just as I passed and the owner came out with a knife and chased me down the street ? using lan guage unbecoming to a gentleman. He never would believe that I didn't throw that rock." "Shine" Bright, Waynesville?"I remember the Halloweens I dress ed up and went out to mark up store windows and cars with soap. One time about four of us picked up a car which had been junked and carried it to a service station and left it in Ihe driveway." Mrs. w. R. Wooten, Clyde?"The i ?

Jusf Looking Around By W. CURTIS BUSS There comes a first time for werything, and Felix Stovall had lis first experience of finding a attlesnake in the woods last week. Stovall, together with his wife nd two friends were getting set ip for a picnic in Sherwood Forest. ihen he spied a 4-foot rattler mak ng for the same cleared spot. The seasoned bear hunter with nany years experiene in roaming he woods, was seeing for the first ime a rattler in the woods. A carefully aimed rock killed he snake, which had four rattles ind a button. The reptile was sing ng "up a high tune" when Stovall leaved the rock at the snake's lead. Needless to say. the picnic was leld many miles away from the ;pot. About the smoothest "talker" to lome to these parts in a long time s Ben Douglas, director of the department of Conservation and development. He speaks with ease, trace, clarity, and as if he likes it ?and apparently he does. Douglas las a large store of stories, which ie uses frequently during a con versation or a talk in public. One of the dancingest group of folk we have seen in a long time was the elementary dance team or Canton, as they danced for Gov ernor Hodges and C&D Board members last Monday night. The ?aller was Johnny Morris, of Can non, and in a few years, Johnny lives promise of being a top-rank ng caller of his own rights.

He seeks the unusual shots, usually pin-pointing the coaches, a player, or some particularly interested spectator lo the stands. Besides photography, he is an expert at promotions, such as the Azalea Festival in. Wilmington. ?and U you missed visiting the Haywood Health Center during open house on Friday you missed seeing a beautiful place.

The building, and modern equip ment are ? far cry from what the health department started out with here In 1934?its growth, services and program have been far beyond the fomdeat expectations of almost Views of Other Editors HAZELWOOD PEA NT TO EXPAND We welcome the announcement that the Dayton Rubber Company plant at Hazelwood has started an expansion program that will "cost "many hundrels of thousands of dollars." It will help strengthen tne economy of that part of Hrfywood County and therefore of Western North Carolina. Included in plans are additions to the foam rubber section, office buildings and warehouses. A. L. Freedlander. president and general manager, has pointed out an interesting fact: High Point is one of the major furniture manufacturing centers. Since foam rubber is popular for furniture, the Hazelwood plant is conveniently situated to serve that market. That is a splendid example of how one industry serves another industry in the same state. Congratulations go to the Day ton Rubber Company now in its Golden Jubilee year. The parent company was started in 1905 in Dayton. Ohio. The Hazelwood plant dates from 1940. ?Asheville Citizen. WNC MIGHTY PROUD OF INDUSTRY'S GROWTH It was a great day for Western North Carolina, and particularly for Haywood County, when in 1940 the Dayton Rubber Company de cided to build a manufacturing plant at Waynesville. When this factory began opera tions the following year textile goods were the first items in pro duction. During World War II vari ous important war gadgets were added to the production list. When peace came the produc tion list underwent more radical changes. But through the years growth was steady and the Waynes ville plant prospered and became more and more important in the industrial picture of our region and state. This week A. L. Fceedlander, president and general manager of the company, announced that a great expansion program was be ing started at the Waynesville plant. This project, costing "many hundreds of thousands of dollars," will include additions to the foam rubber section, office buildings and warehouses. Plans call for the com pletion of the program the first part of next year. The Waynesville plant now employ more than 1,100 people who produce a variety of diversified rubber articles. Mr. Freedlander explained that the expansion program was prim arily to increase the production facilities for pillows and mat tresses and other divisions, such as textile and loom supplies. He said his company's Kool Foam la tex products have established a fine reputation in the furniture industries. And then came this statement of tremendous significance to all North Carolinians: "One of the greatest recognized furniture centers in the world is at High Point and we are putting ourselves in position to service this great industry, being so strate gically located in the same state. "Foam rubber is becoming in creasingly popular for furniture as well as other uses, and we believe this trend will continue and also that the great growth of the Southeast will continue even great er, and North Carolina will gain a major portion. "Its people, its resources, its in telligent state leadership, all make North Carolina a fine place to live and share in its prosperity." Thus we now have two great North Carolina industries, one in the Piedmont section and one In our mountain region, working to gether to turn out a major line of popular goods for the national mar ket. Industries attract and help other industries. The choice of Waynesville for the Dayton Rubber plant has been a most happy and profitable one for the company, for this mountain re gion and all of North Carolina. ?Asheville Times Letter To Edfl FINE fOVERAGfl Editor The Mountaineer?
